Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who have worked in customer service: Did you ever get hit with a "Do you know who I am!?" Did you in fact know who they were?
2·14 days agoThey 100% didnt in my case. The company wasnt very large and for some reason liked to include the founding/owners family history as part of on-board training. They were just a drunk college kid upset we wouldnt serve them pizza after closing hours.

47·14 days agoYes, they claimed their cousin owned the store. The store ower was in their 60s and lived across the country. They, on the other hand, was a pissed off, drunk, early 20s college student at a closed pizza shop at 4am. No, your cousin is not the store owner.

On paper, yes. In flavor…no…just…oh god no… at least in my school district (u.s) because they used this nasty white sauce instead of tomato.

0·1 month agoCome to think about it, ive never seen one in nature either. Are sponges even real?
30+ years and itll be named after the male doctor
Right? Im part of the youngest millennials and i turn 30 in a few months. Its been a fucking wild experience being stuck between two generations.
Edit: i guess someone disagrees with my self-declared millennial status, lol.

Off My Chest@lemmy.world•No matter how hard I try, I just can't make my family understand I can't afford their lifestyle when I visitEnglish
5·10 months agowhy? Are you genuinely not able to do this on your own? Have you never sat with someone and chatted in your own home or theirs just to hang out? Have you never walked somewhere with someone to catch up with them in the moment? Have you never just played an old board game? Or hell, any free game, made up or not with another person? Have you never made up short stories with a group like campers over a campfire? Have you honestly never spent bonding time with another human being without feeling obligated to spend money?
Im honestly baffled at the idea of avoiding another human being or even cutting ties with a close friend because theyre not as financially well off as yourself. Im pretty angry about this because it hits a bit close to home for me. I know what its like to be that broke ass friend as well as the flip side of the one spotting a broke ass friend. Shit happens. Financial ruin can happen to literally anyone for more reasons than avenues exist to get out of said financial ruin. Speaking of the U.S. specifically, something as small as a minor health issue can force a middle class household from a comfortable savings to filing for bankruptcy.
If you truely care about someone you find a solution that works for everyone when you want to hang out. Throwing your hands up and saying “oh well, too sad, come back when you have money again” is so…so…shallow, rude, heartless, fucked up, and up your own ass.

9·10 months agoThought experiment: Would you want to hang around with someone who’s broke and homeless? Someone you can’t do anything with that requires spending money in any way, leading to a very reduced list of possible activities?
Wtf, yes, theres plenty to do with people that cost nothing and spending money is not why i spend time with people. Im not going to shun someone, stranger or not, because theyre not able to afford the same luxuries.

9·11 months agoMenards is in my area and it’s fucking terrible. Their “20% off” is a mail in rebate for store credit, only and it’s a perpetual “sale”. It never actually has an end date like their ads claim. From shopping there just about every menards exclusive brand item ive purchased was over priced and broken in less than a year. I also know a handful of people that went from die hard menards fans to “never shopping there again” over the last few years because their prices on nearly everything have gotten ridiculous compared to literally any other store, online or brick. Their website is a pain to navigate, too and tries really hard to make you think the 20% off price is the final price on items.
Thats how I text and it’s 100% my adhd.

3·11 months agoOurs is a cheap model, but the knobs are held on with a plastic housing inside the knob similar to that middle plastic tube that holds keycaps center on keyboards. Im constantly worried its going to break when i take them off to clean.
I think it depends on the device. I remember rooting my s7, or maybe it was the grand prime? I cant remember the exact model, but it was samsung and around that time period for those two models, and any software update i wanted to apply, including security updates, had to be manually installed/side loaded.

3·11 months agoA strip club isnt really a better analogy since there are no laws in the U.S. barring children from entering, but again, this cam varry depending on location. A parent can still take their child there if the establishment owner allows it.
Except we’re not talking about the physical world, we’re talking about the digital where a simple ID verification is a piss poor effort of a barrier. Which then leaves us with, what, exactly? The mass surveilance, a.i. facial recognition, and deep privacy invasion used in china? Because, im never going to agree with you on this, period. If a parent has a problem with their kid visiting spaces clearly labeled and marked as for adults, then that parent needs to be a parent and kick their kid off the internet.





I literally have them tagged as “mega brain dead”. I wouldnt put much stock in anything they have to say.
