@BrentToderian Or you could just show the layout of an apartment complex, which is this exact same thing, except the use case makes sense.
Look, if you're going to hook up your customer support to a robot, don't bother. Just put a big image of a middle finger on your customer support page. You'll piss off fewer customers.
@darwinwoodka @GordonOfSeattle Well, that's just insanity. The report specifically says that the particles are likely synthetic or natural rubber (which are biodegradable!), but that they decided to pretend they were plastic anyway 🤦♂️
@ThinkingSapien My guess would be that they've just been waiting to do this kind of thing and when they see other companies do it, it gives them cover.
@ThinkingSapien Wow, corporate "go fuck yourself"s don't usually get that explicit.
@Tedspence Wait, why would that be better than just turning them off?
@darwinwoodka @GordonOfSeattle Wait, what? How do rubber tires turn into microplastics?
@ThinkingSapien Obviously, I don't know your exact situation, but I think I'd be looking for a new job where the employer treats employees like humans instead of cattle.
@ThinkingSapien Uh, every teenager has strong political opinions. And they're *all* the opposite of their parents. FYI, that's not limited to politics. They have strong opinions that oppose their parents on virtually every subject, lol.
@AnnemarieBridy The beauty of the fediverse is that it already exists... just not in the main software. The instance I'm on has QTs because it's using a fork of the main code.
@cathygellis Doesn't the FDIC do that?
@jacobschumer There's also the middle-ages husband, who thinks about how his family dynamics would have toppled a kingdom in days of yore.
@helma @georgetakei Yeah, based on what I'm reading elsewhere, it sounds like it was a verbal order.
@georgetakei Have a link to the order?
@reginasbread That's a terrible idea. I want my movies to last more than 20 minutes.
@freemo I'd argue it's way *easier* with money. How else do you explain those shitty phone games that get advertised during the super bowl?
At least in my industry, the indie game startups that break even, much less profit, are few and far between... they're exceptions to the rule. The big studios get all the breaks.
I was a little nervous going in, but today I ACED my Private Pilot Airplane written test from the FAA with a 92%!!
@freemo Doesn't matter if it fills a need if nobody can find it. The marketplace is so over-saturated that you pretty much have to spend money on marketing just to rise above the tide of garbage so your potential customers can find you.
@freemo I wish it was as easy as you make it sound.
Most of the software I make on my own loses money.
