Have you tried clicking on the not interested button? Doing it for a few videos may help

You're welcome! Glad you like it here!

You read this when it was posted? Guess you're a long time redditors too!

Yeah that's true. It's been a long time since it happened, but I remember she was also puzzled at the cashier's behavior, so I'd love to think that she enjoyed it too!

I personally think the best "maliciouscompliance" act mods can do in the long term is to switch up all the subs.

So technology will be used for gardening, gardening will be used for android, android will be used for coffee, coffee used for pcgaming, etc. It'll make everything really confusing for new users and help slow their growth.

I read this one when it was first posted too!

The official reason for such rules are usually "we need a mix of vendors" or something like that.

The unofficial, true reason is usually that the organizer wants to be the only one selling water so they can sell it for $5.

worth it!

There used to be an app called Caffeine which, if I remember correctly, would trigger the F13 key, which is coded into the kayboard standard but rarely exists on keyboards (and hence acts as a de facto "null" key).

It's basically the lifecycle of any big corporation.

When the industry is new and there's tons of new users to reach, everyone tries to be the most friendly corporation to build a name for themselves. Positive press and the halo effect helps bring in more people.

Once an industry matures and growth slows, the focus shifts to nickle-and-diming customers to squeeze more profit out of them.

Some places block .exes now so that doesn't always work.

Automation brings speed and consistency, but there’s a significant difference between consistency and accuracy.

I deal with automation vs manual input a fair bit also, this is really accurate.

As a rule of thumb, when one or two cases go wrong, it's usually human error. If hundreds of cases go wrong at once, it's probably automation run amok.

dude your storytelling style is ace!

hats off to Chad.

Wheatley wanted everyone to know that he had this doctorate, as evidenced by his insistence in correcting any employee who did not address him as “Dr. Wheatley”. He will be henceforth referred to in this post as Mr. Wheatley.

This made me chuckle.

We were disqualified due to my automations because they considered them cheating.

What the hell? I've never heard of anyone being scolded for being more productive.

I guess everyone in your office must write everything out on parchment and quill then.

"the person who has been working here for a long time must be wrong, it can't ever be the automated system!" - said no sane human being ever.

some places have "0" for the lobby too!

Laughs in MBA

you could say they were... what's the term? maliciously complying?
