  • What I have learned to say is "I understand this is new and confusing; however, don't stress out, I was probably more confused than you are when I first learned this." It throws them off a bit, because they think you're the expert, and it clicks that you had to learn it too. If they probe deeper into why it was hard for me, I explain that I'm so used to how things are supposed to work, I have to step back and see how things can work.

  • I'd say they have been doing it longer or are familiar with the underlying knowledgebase, so it seems to come easily to them.

    Someone who has never used a modern computer before will think that someone who has been learning and adapting since Windows 3.1 would look like a genius. Even if all they know is how to do basic tasks and navigation.

  • Forgetting everything that's happened so far, and taking that statement at face value... That is exactly how things should have always worked...

    Make *****, get eXpOsUrE. How in the hell did the internet turn into we pay for access; we use it to socialize, share art, ideas, answers, make connections. And now they are not only making money selling our data, but we're expected to pay for their crap content they scraped from our own data?

  • In their FAQ nothing is sent to the recepient until the letter is sent. This seems like such a great service until you realize email providers, and addresses aren't permanent.

    I've been with my husband 20+ years, I had 10+ email addresses when we met, and so did he. I love the idea, but wish there was a non-digital option for these things.

    Digitally, if we could register a non-first-level domain for 40-50 years we could set up our own family email severs, with scheduled messages.

  • I think only mod specific bots were immune. As idiotic as Reddit has been, it might still be running, but, how will it remind those of us that erased all comments and then deleted our accounts? I have a feeling that wasn't an official bot, so it was probably programed correctly so it won't spam them with replys to deleted accounts 😢

  • I keep one of my desktop monitors in portrait position at all times now, very rarely do I find myself needing to drag a browser window to the horizontal one. Everything is being designed for portrait mode now.

  • You will want to tip 15-25%wheb you are dining at a sit down restaurant. If you are at a counter service buisness or café, you should only tip of they went out of their way to make your experience amazing. If you will be staying at hotels, you should tip bellmen $3-$5 per bag, concierge 5-10% of what they have procured for you. Cab's, Ubers, or any car service 10-20% (I usually do a minimum of $5 here.) if you get asked for a tip on any self-service screen, just deny it, that's a cash grab for the business owner. You can offer a tip to any employee you want if they go out of their way for you, however outside the service industry, employers will direct the staff to politely refuse.

    Our roses are growing beautifully this year!

    These bushes have been here for about 20 years, this is the best they've ever looked. Granted they get a ton more sun now that wind storms took out most of our trees.

    This Company is a Family

    If you are a "family" buisness/small business, and have relied on the management your parents very smartly hired and worked with that made you a multi-millionaire.. You should probably shut the fuck up and let them keep their customers happy...
