Media and techsimps praise a bundle of code that can spew garbage with a dash of plagiarism. Ted from my college comp class does the same, but all he got was a failing grade.

*zon got to the point where they heavily counteract the refund game. They hardly check for items that are <$50, but, beyond that, there's an increased amount of effort to make sure that they can punish the customer. If there are enough returned items laying around that it becomes an issue from a common account, they'll actually look back over years to see the total value and if they shouldmake an example out of the person. That was a bit more common regarding high-priced tech items.

Getting later and later into the original series and Frasier himself feels way more insufferable and egotistical. The scenes of the other characters are always a hoot, but Frasier just seems to complain about everything.

I have friends who do this at buffets; cookie at the bottom fits well into small soup bowls, top it with icecream so that slicing down with a spoon gets a harder base to dig into.
And they wonder why they're pre-diabetics who can't manage their weight.

Big ol' cascade effect. Even back in late 2015, they made an update to old-gen release consoles (PS3, 360) that prevented users from loading directly into Online upon booting up the game. If you chose that option; endless load loop and an eventual crash. From that point on until forever, you had to load singleplayer and use the shoddy interface to select an Online game for your multiplayer character.
They have a history of ruining Online with every update. I can only imagine all of the problems that accumulated since then, if it is even playable at all on those consoles.

And whenever they want to drop a site-wide ban for any reason, it's easier to punish the whole device instead of fixing issues or pretending that most of the ad viewership doesn't consist of bots.

The sad reality is that AI trashcode can't cook food, clean floors, wipe ass, or empty out the bin, so we'll be doing that while it pretends to be Twitter users.

Some have already spent their years laboring and all while pursuing an education during/after long weeks of work. Me and most of my friends from high school have gone through this path.
What is more of a concern to me is that office jobs are no longer an opportunity for those of us with a university education. It has lumped us with those that do not value self-improvement.

I'm a recent university graduate who has been working in different entry positions since early high school. I thought a health Bachelors was going to finally allow me to obtain stable, relevant employment but it has done none of that so far: Healthcare institutions only care if you're a nurse and the one corporate job I got is substition-based, so I can only work if someone calls off which is highly inconsistent and unsustainable.
I feel like my only option is to apply for grad school in a medical profession pipeline, but I'm nervous about asking for letters of recommendation.
Most relevant job apps either deny me after a few days or simply do not respond. Even research or lab jobs no call me after a while, regardless if I follow up by contacting them directly.
Edit: Additionally, I can't even get unemployment as my last job was PRN during my intense year of classes and they need you to have been working near full-time hours for a number of weeks to get it.

It seems that having more facts is indeed directly proportional to having more facts.
Was recently granted the privilege of a permanent ban on reddit for a username I had for over four years and it led me down the rabbit hole of seeing more and more claims from other people who went through similar experiences. Hell, there's a lot of them. Frivolous reports resulting in punishment, appeals being automatically denied, the works, etc. It might just be a presumption, seeing how many bots slide under the radar each day on that site through posts and comments, but I have a strong feeling that most (seemingly random) admin bans are designed to flush out active and semi-active human users rather than weed out bot code posing as people online. The end goal? Whether it's to create an automated, cyclical platform designed to extract marketing and ad revenue from a steady stream of new users or anything else for that matter, I know not. All I know for certain is that the ban tendencies have ramped up in the recent year and the people actually being punished for it are those who have been using it for long periods of time and manage to conveniently fall on the edge of a subjective TOS offense. I had my suspicions that it was gradually turning into an AI-fueled cesspit, but now I've had my chance to really believe that it has. Good riddance in that case
