Nah. I had to spend ten minutes convincing a Starbucks barista that their Eggnog Chai doesn’t have coffee in it. It’s a tea, for goodness sakes.

She never believed me, but she did make me a “special” one with milk instead of espresso. *facepalm*

You mean the eggnog chai LATTE you fucking idiot? Die

The customer is always wrong and I can’t believe some poor barista had to deal with this foolishness on Black Friday none the less

… I feel like this is kinda mean. Labeling EVERYONE in a certain category (the customers) as wrong simply isn’t true. There are definitely customers who are mistaken in certain situations but just because that’s true, it doesn’t make everyone else wrong. That’s like saying ALL men are stronger than women, which isn’t true. SOME men are stronger and SOME women are stronger. We as people should start using SOME more than ALL and NEVER.

You can really tell who’s never worked in retail before by the way they view customers

My country is completely cut off from the outside world. I had to install a shady vpn on my phone and even this worked only after a few hours of trying.

What's happening in Belarus, and especially in Minsk, is an obvious violation of human rights. And for trying to defend those rights (PEACEFULLY, mind you. No one has access to weapons here, there were no fights, there was no destroyed property) we get flashbanged and shot at with rubber bullets.

I know I dont post anything here ever, but I felt like I had to talk at least somewhere. I dont even care that this will not be seen by almost anyone, but

Please, stay informed, don't be indifferent to us.

I saw someone write recently (paraphrased), “They said ‘you’ll get more conservative as you get older’ and what they didn’t realize they meant was ‘you’ll get greedier and more paranoid as you get richer’ [which is true, there are psych studies] and what they didn’t count on is that no one gets rich any more”

But also we’re not becoming allergic to everything nowadays like certain white moms fear. Allergies have always existed. They were just talked about differently

Like “oh clams always ~turn my stomach~”. Or “what a pity he was taken from us at age 5”

This is a picture tracking bullet holes on Allied planes that encountered Nazi anti-aircraft fire in WW2.

At first, the military wanted to reinforce those areas, because obviously that’s where the ground crews observed the most damage on returning planes. Until Hungarian-born Jewish mathematician Abraham Wald pointed out that this was the damage on the planes that made it home, and the Allies should armor the areas where there are no dots at all, because those are the places where the planes won’t survive when hit. This phenomenon is called survivorship bias, a logic error where you focus on things that survived when you should really be looking at things that didn’t.

We have higher rates of mental illness now? Maybe that’s because we’ve stopped killing people for being “possessed” or “witches.” Higher rate of allergies? Anaphylaxis kills, and does so really fast if you don’t know what’s happening. Higher claims of rape? Maybe victims are less afraid of coming forward. These problems were all happening before, but now we’ve reinforced the medical and social structures needed to help these people survive. And we still have a long way to go.

This is one of my favorite anecdotes to show how clever rewording of statistics can make them say the opposite of what they mean:

Every time a state makes riding a motorcycle without a helmet illegal, the number of ER patients seriously injured in motorcycle accidents skyrockets. Every single time.

When you phrase it just right, it makes it sound like it’s more dangerous to ride a motorcycle with a helmet than without one. Of course, the reality is that before those laws, those patients were going to the morgue, not the ER.
