Painful would be the several (!) times I had to check the computer over after they fell for a tech help scam and lost money. The stupid thing was that if someone tried to sell them something on the street or phone they were smart enough to refuse, but for some reason a popup on the computer makes things legit. Even after it was a scam the last time it happened. Why?
There are many more lesser events that aren't painful as much as just tedious, but I think having some patience and knowing what to tell them (vs. actually explaining it) helped. I tried to reduce the complexity and lock things down, but in the end it was just easier to come over and fix the problem every now and then.
He's really helping things along with all these acts of stability, consistency, and predictability. Stuff businesses thrive on. Maybe the business world outside of the stock market (which the manipulation of is what this may all be about anyway) is just ignoring the day to day until something persists long enough to even get into the daily supply chain.
Banks may come to them, but hardly knocking with demands. 'If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.' And how they interact with banks, loans, etc. is far different in scale and method than the average consumer anyway.
Looks like just posts from Lemmy instances. Now, are replies posts? I don't think so, I think it's original topics. But many replies from Lemmy users are going to be to outside sources, so there's a lot going on!
Using it to share data can be a nightmare, especially since different departments might look at that data in various ways and want their own formats. I work for a Fortune 500 company that, at least at my level of management, emailing around attached full spreadsheets of daily data rather than have a centralized database. I've fought it for years, but it's what the higher ups want...stupid.
Even better when Microsoft puts out improvements like 365 and OneDrive that break certain functions, then depreciates Excel itself. God I hate the cloud.
There could be some maximum threshold or critical number where people's discussions goes downhill, regardless of the infrastructure. So while the idea of splintering into new communities that share names and topics was initially a big concern with the Reddit migration, calling for a way to imitate a Reddit sole source, perhaps it's better to allow diversification even if some things aren't directly and timely shared.
I first saw that pose or similar back in an old Star Trek TOS episode where Spock is in the captain's chair. But he ain't Spock. Hell, he isn't even Ferengi level.
Usually there's enough context and it's recent enough I sort of remember. I haven't had a lot of ancient replies here, but Reddit was great for that, and that's exactly what I would think. What the hell are they talking about? What was really surreal was rereading what I wrote and vaguely remembering it, but sometimes the wording being a bit different than what I might say now. Not necessarily the point, just how I said it, as people do change with age. I don't regret anything I've every said though, it's why I've left my Reddit account alone, that plus it would probably be undeleted anyway and I've moved on.
Got me. Not that I believed the text, but that my first brief thought was, there is a raised horn symbol right there that would work just as well. Then I thought, you dummy.
It's to honor the sacrifice made. Although in the end it wasn't really a sacrifice, not even the prophesied three full days. Just a long weekend with the payoff being returned to godhood. What the writers should have done is made it so Jesus was still in hell being tortured for our sins until the end days. That would be more of a plotline to suggest a sacrifice.
Just tried. It will only presumably stop new messages, but I can refresh and the old sent one is still there as well as the user name that shows it's blocked. Plus that wouldn't be a great workaround for normal messages of people you want to talk to and just are cleaning house. I don't know why the option isn't there. I put something about it on the main Mbin page a while back. Maybe not many people actually use messages?
