I used to think this way until I considered how they felt. It's really stressful to have someone breathing down your neck while you work, so I usually just show them where the work area is and answer any questions they have then tell them where I'll be if they need something.

On the flip side, the only time I've judged someone in this situation is a girl who had been sleeping before we came by for maintenance, didn't answer the door so we let ourselves in (notice given in advance) and she was in the bedroom still half asleep and just awake enough to tell us which rooms were getting worked on for turn. She was literally crawling back into bed and covering herself in a blanket while speaking to us. Wasn't harsh judgment or anything, more of a "that was a weird interaction."

The Michael Richards strategy

Who are these slimy comments of yours actually for? You're just acting like an antisocial freak for nothing.

They optimize the roads for speed because that means easy revenue from issuing speeding tickets to people moving at a rate that road has been optimized to handle. Unsafe driving practices are just opportunities for profit. Tail light out? You get pulled over, ticketed, and then released back onto the road still with a broken tail light, only now you have to both pay for the tail light and potentially the fine if you don't take time off work to go to court and get it waived.

Actually making the community safe isn't profitable.

And the penalty needs to be steep enough that it's not just an operating cost for these companies.

Google might just budget a few million a year for paying the fine every time a court rules they pushed someone to kill themselves if it's profitable enough.

This thread? The one that started with a comment using the words "social media?" The one that you replied to?

I'm not the one that's confused. If this isn't bait, call your doctor immediately.

I dunno man, I could have sworn someone said something about it as soon as the first sentence of the linked article.

Even those people who just read the headline and start commenting could probably assume it's relevant to the conversation at hand considering the giant picture of Mark Zuckerberg at the top of the page.

Joke's on them, I hate Star Trek too.

Some of them weren't

That's a Fiat, Dale.

I sure hope he's right.

Oh that's a good move, I'm gonna press that again. Hmm, it's a completely different move now.

Every time.
