Same demographics, primarily age?

Good news! You may now use Teams for that classic IM functionality. And all your coworkers are there! And nobody judges your status icon during working hours!

They’re erasing my culture. I believe I drove a number of these roads in Test Drive 6 during my formative gaming years

Quite frankly, that just sounds like the music finally got too new. You’re not in tune with the latest music, nor the celebrity personalities tied to the acts. The performance style is trending with the latest popular demand.

There is a difference in “the show is boring” and “the show is boring to me now”

So… Kanye?

For a traditional broadcast redrawing every pixel per frame, definitely. Is it still a mosaic when compression algorithms prevent redrawing certain sections though? Does it then become mixed media?

I can fax the pizza order

When was the last time you enjoyed it? What changed?

And I believe this is an astroturf talking point because fascists don’t have immutable power until you believe they have immutable power.

Teams doesn’t even support task assignment, tasks are handled in Ms Planner which is an entirely different product that just happens to be visible inside of Teams if you want

Do you really not see how Ms has pushed Teams to be a fucking awful imaginary OS box? They’re just tasks (Planner in a trench coat), it’s just a calendar (ripped from outlook), they’re just files (the worst way to access SharePoint), it’s just one drive (in the worst interface), they’re just notifications (triplicates of what outlook and windows already told me).

touch? Mac? Airpods? What the fuck are you doing? You aren’t doing real business if you’re using an ipad

Oh, honey. Not every job is performed by being fisted with code and network protocol. Businesses run on inappropriate excel databases and you know it. You know the number of local programs is dwindling by the second as each software dev moves to “access from anywhere” and “remove the burden of server management” as they slide down an icy hill towards putting everything in a cloud based Web interface. Either that, or you’re middle management that thinks you need asses in visible chairs to get work done.

Yes, the all in one. Beautiful.

“I’m in the files tab and I’m 6 folders down, halfway through reviewing a word doc. I’m still in the teams app because downloading a file saves it somewhere between purgatory and duat, so this is easier” ping “Oh, a message. Hold my spot in the file and folders while I check that” Teams: actually, you could go fuck yourself.

I went months without noticing it, but you can open the Teams library in the web because it’s just a SharePoint folder in a trench coat. Bookmarked immediately.

The diagram is accurate because the last arrow turns around. Duh

They were counting exits. Who else did that last year?

ICE can’t handle anything bigger but they don’t want you to know that. This regime already tried to tell you Minnesota is a warzone in 2020. Same with Portland.

“One of us, all of yours”

SpongeBob should be smiling, aloof, and looking the other way

Native English speaker, but I’ve visited India, so I have a different, related topic. Of course, there’s two caveats: I have an outsider’s perspective and the British have a very lengthy history with the region. In major cities, spoken English seems as popular as Hindi. In Delhi, signs seemed to be entirely in English, although maybe I just didn’t notice the Devanagari script as much because it’s incredibly foreign to me. Kolkata had less spoken English, but still more English signs than Hindi or Bengal (I can’t tell the difference). Traveling to rural West Bengal, the advertisements have skewed towards Bengali (I believe) and road signs are dual language, but but I don’t think I’ve seen a single business sign that didn’t have English as the primary text.

I thought it was silly that English and Chinese became the main languages in Firefly (which, for the show, was English with Chinese words thrown in). Now I realize, not only is that possible, but it’s already here. English is the global standard for air traffic control and imperialism has pushed language influence far and wide. International business has made English effectively a requirement for competitiveness. I was just oblivious as an English-only speaker at the time. I’ve wondered if Hindi would now be a more accurate 2nd language for the Firefly future, but I’m not convinced because of how prevalent English is there, like it might have already reduced the power of Hindi on the global scale. Plus, there’s so many dialects there, Hindi is the most common but it doesn’t have a majority

Surely, this question is targeted at USA/North Americans. The average commute is beyond biking distance. The average suburb is sprawled beyond biking convenience. So, exactly to your point, people reliant upon cars largely don’t see the benefit potential of bike lanes. You can point to tight older cities like NYC or Chicago, but, surprise, the cars in the city traffic aren’t fromthe city. They drove in form the surrounding neighborhoods to their jobs.

I biked for 2 years when I happened to get a career job in the town I lived. It made sense because I could cut through a park and skip the traffic light bottleneck. The 2nd closest career job I’ve ever had was 17 miles. The furthest was 65 miles.

Because every iteration of bike improvements has been fucked up. Isolated bike lanes that are painted where they can fit, but don’t properly connect anything. Bike lanes that are squeezed into part of a wider car lane. Designated shared bike/car lanes on 35mph roads that make cyclists a rolling obstruction to smooth traffic flow. Bike lanes squeezed between a travel lane and a parallel parking lane, causing exchange chaos, and double obstructions when city drivers double park in the bike lane. Widened shared pedestrian paths where cyclists are to pedestrians what cars are to bikes. Cyclists that think the bike lane isn’t for them. Cyclists going the wrong way. Cyclists taking their “right of way” sporadically, expecting drivers to read their minds. Bike lanes that barely overlap with my usual travel needs. Bike lanes in areas too sparse to be utilized for anything other than exercise.

I am a car lover. I am a motorcycle lover. I am a bicycle lover. I am a walking lover. I am a train lover. I am a bus lover. I use all modes of travels as they fit my needs and wants - how far, what logistics, what weather, what cargo, what fuel cost, what purpose.

Please do not confuse real farmers with cosplay farmers. Real farmers are not as right-wing as you think. Real farmers understand global economics and climate change because they are directly experienced. Cosplay farmers that have a pickup, a horse, and a field of mud with unsuccessful farming prospects are who you are thinking of.
