It doesn’t work on all systems, but you can try spamming the zero button. My bank has the most annoying robot assistant I’ve ever had to deal with, but I’ve learned if I hit the zero button everytime it asks me something after about 4-5 times it gives up and just transfers me to a person… I have had this work for other companies, but it’s hit or miss.

Dark humor is like food. Not everyone gets it.

I’d fix it, but I am kind of enjoying this newfound power to affect your emotional state.

Anyone else get irrationally angry when someone calls it the Sahara dessert? No, just me?

It bothers me because “Sahara” is Arabic for desert, so the headline to this article is calling it the desert desert, and apparently, that’s a pet peeve of mine.

I actually prefer being able to choose my own produce and meats.

Edit: I definitely get suckered in by the impulse purchasing though.

Stealing is wrong.

If it was up to me, they wouldn’t be forced to stand all shift or be underpaid, but since I’m not in charge of shit I can’t change their company’s policies.

The lines are usually minimal (1 or 2 people) during the time of day I typically go shopping, and I drive an electric that is charged in my garage.

Yup. There’s no reason they couldn’t have a stool.

I don’t think, nor did I say, they needed to do more. I’m also not particularly fond of small talk, so I dont typically chat with them. They’re paid to do a job, so why would I offer to do that job for free?

I agree with the boomers on this one. I’m not in the habit of providing free labor to a corporation I don’t even work for.

Well, that’s easy, friend. Have you tried a big heaping dose of depression? That’s how I used to accomplish such feats.

What, like the back of a Volkswagen?

The parents not caring is bullshit. Once my Dad came over and explained, we were doing it wrong and demonstrated for the kids a better, faster, more dangerous method before then ignoring us and heading back to the other adults.

Genuine question: Can I ask why?

I’ve had several components and even had a complete msi PC build in the past and never had an issue with them. I’m not a msi fanboy, nor am I saying buy their products, I’m just curious as to what’s the reasoning behind why you tell people not to?

Ben Affleck, and Pete Davidson.

Because that’s not a smile, he’s just showing his teeth. His eyes are dead and joyless… definitely off-putting.

If you’re buying vacant land and paying cash, you can close really quickly as there’s nothing in need of inspection, and loan processing times aren’t a factor… I have a buddy who just purchased 100+ acres of vacant land from a logging company. He paid cash and was able to close in just a few weeks.

Didn’t Julius Cesar refer to Cleopatra as the woman with the golden mouth? Sounds to me like she might have been the original hawk tuah girl.
