Wonderful! Our monstera stopped making babies recently, but it's become gigantic, practically unmanageable.

So, I work in the call center industry, and sometimes this is true. I've spoken to hundreds of companies over the years about how they do their IVR (the thing you hear before talking to a person).

• If the IVR is speech enabled and asks an open ended question like "how can I help you", there's likely an option to say agent/representative/supervisor

• If you get a list of options, there's likely a hidden option to reach an agent, but what you press will vary by company (typically 9, 0, or *) and there's no guarantee you'll get there any faster. It might actually be slower, because you are likely to be put into a "catch all" group and might even be more likely to require getting transferred.

• Random tip, but # is commonly used as a terminator when typing digits. So if you're typing your date of birth, CC info, or whatever, press # and you won't have to wait the extra few seconds for it to "decide" if you're done. I also press it if I fat finger some digits and need to start over quicker.

The system we deploy (Amazon Connect) is used by the likes of Intuit, Delta Airlines, Capital One, etc. though my company didn't deploy any of those in particular.

But my clickbait articles!

I had to slow down the gif a ton. He basically just doesn't put his foot down when he crosses. I feel like the strong shadows really bump up the black magic look.

Big bazongas

I thought they were putting up the 10 Commandments to avoid these kinds of things smh

It's similar to the "unstoppable force meets an immovable object" thought experiment.

They can't both exist, just like 0 can't be the same as 1. If you somehow "forced" it to be true because an all powerful deity made it so, the logic breaks, and the answer is effectively useless to us.

So then if a deity made freewill, there MUST be evil, or at least the capability of it. My metaphor is sorta inverted, but hopefully it makes sense.

Kinda turned off by the intentionally misleading headline. I'm glad they immediately clarify in the body of the text, but it's just click bait/rage bait.

Someone clearly shot at the guy, what does it matter if it was shrapnel that made the fucker bleed.

I've tried several boxes, even bought a couple of their fancy iridescent spoons!

IMHO the cereal is okay, but I love the spoons lol

I used to work at Geek Squad, and pranks are sorta ingrained into the culture. As a bit of background, our job title was "CIA", for Counter Intelligence Agent (as in, the "front counter" of the store). Definitely ran by nerds.

Anyway, when you get your CIA badge (literal medal badge, dubbed a "shield"), there's typically a ceremony, it gets presented, it's like a badge of honor, no pun intended. So when someone got theirs, I put it in orange jello. This guy had regularly yoinked other people's badges and would take random photos with them, it was good fun and harmless.

Years ago I did this to my boss, and printed out the "troll" face from rage comics. Had the satisfaction of watching him move the mouse around, get confused, pick up the mouse to look at it, see his shoulders slump and shake his head.

Just the smallest, dumbest thing, but I remember it 10 years later.
