It’s supposed to represent Ben Kenobi from the original star wars I think. Or more generally, a wizard-y sage robe.
Edit: it’s also just a meme, with its own understood meaning.
I sell and build call centers for a living.
Yeah, it’s fake lol. I mean maybe for some businesses it isn’t fake, but usually clients would ask us to make it where “if there’s more than X calls in queue, play the message”. Turns out, there’s always more than X calls in queue. It’s not actually looking at the average.
It’s kinda weird, some things are just always like that, some things clients want to add in because the average user expects it.
Someone wanted a repeat caller to get bumped to the front of the queue. Literally encouraging the “if I hang up and call back I’ll get there sooner” people. Awful.
I had to look this up, didn’t know about Bowie. He had underage groupies, at least as young as 15 (Lori Mattix). Apparently she remembers that time fondly, but today we would rightly call it coercion and pedophilia. She was treated kindly, probably given all the drugs she “wanted”, but that’s still a child.
There’s a counter argument about how later in life, he refused a kissing scene between him and Jennifer Connelly during Labyrinthe, and that shows he understands the age gap is wrong.
I don’t regularly listen to David Bowie. I can sometimes separate the art from artist, but I’m now gonna have trouble knowing he was having sex with (raping) a 15 year old girl.
Eric Clapton is super racist, John Lennon abandoned his kid.
As a counterpoint, I like it in video games for the same irl reason: it saves time.
I do love games where it feels alive when traveling on foot/horse/etc. but I would rather fast travel if I’ve already explored it, generally speaking.
Definitely the latter.
Sex work in the US is still considered highly shameful, even as the amount of content grows every year and is clearly consumed by a ton of people in the US. Businesses don’t want to be associated with the taboo.
I’d say so, at least sometimes. Imagine finding somewhat recent Facebook posts from a new hire and finding out they’re a Nazi, racist, etc. I’d still want grounds to fire them.
Whether this situation applies? I don’t think so. Some company just doesn’t want to risk bad PR.
The vid has 167k views now, good for him.
What if I call it Tylenol but always buy the generic anyway?
People have lost trademark rights because it’s too ubiquitous.
Aspirin was literally the brand name by Bayer but lost it.
People who had you listed will just see “Deleted Account” instead of your name, and a little ghost as your avatar.
They will still see your chat history though.
Can you name any US Supreme Court Justices?
Russians and killing their own citizens
I have three dogs, and I can tell which one is drinking based on sound.
One always takes a drink in sets of three.
One seems to hate water, barely gets a sip in the side of the bowl.
One drinks like she’s been in the Sahara for a month and it honestly sounds disgusting. Leaves a puddle around the bowl too.
I felt dumb for reading it that way first, so thank you
Honestly same, it’s not like you have to go digging for it, or like it’s different for every woman. It’s right there.
