Oh god yeah that does sound like it should get him in plenty of trouble. I get buerocracy can be crazy annoying but this is just unacceptable

Absolutely, it just made me question the origin of that phrase that I assumed, because it also makes perfect sense here.

I guess? First thing that came to mind.

Yes, my brain is fully rotten.

Who decided that bids from unlicensed workers were accepted? Ridiculous

Wait, the common phrase does come from a fiber thread though right? O.O

Aren’t the first two if branches completely useless? The variable was just defined without a value, so it should always be null

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions!

That looks like exactly what I need, thanks!

You do have a point there. Media literacy should get a better focus during education.

However I don’t think its a fair comparison. The general public cannot currently be expected to have good media literacy, as long as there is no proper public education. I’m not aware of any public schools properly teaching media literacy during the general education (I mean before college), so a good chunk of the population, if not the majority, will never even stop to consider things like what kinda assumptions they made about an article. (Just like I did before this discussion)

It is something you can expect from someone who studied journalism though.

So if the goal of the journalist was good journalism, they should plan ahead and use clear language without any room for assumptions. If they use headlines like this it just seems like clickbait to me.

The thing I’m trying to get at: a good title shouldn’t leave room for assumptions, and I’m pretty sure this kinda stuff is being done just to make you click, not to provide good journalism.

The ambiguity of what exactly is meant by ‘nightmare’. It intentionally leaves it up to the readers interpretation what could be meant, and because of the harshness of the used word, the reader immediately thinks of the worst possible outcome - an infestation of your own home.

Tbf, reading the headline I also assumed the author accidentally took them home. I’m pretty sure this ambiguity is on purpose, and should be frowned upon.

Hmm yeah I have to agree that’s a fair point lol

Why would that be an issue? Just use the distance glasses, and your good. Or do you need to constantly read the vehicle manual to drive?

Functionally, it was put back the way it was found. That person is not being paid enough to give a shit about aesthetics. So doing that IMO absolutely is going above and beyond.

depends on how exhausted I am already on that day, but honestly probably not. I try not to go above and beyond for my employer without some kind of agreed upon compensation but stuff like this I’d do right just for my own satisfaction

You sure write a lot for someone who just doesn’t care

You think american companies care about gdpr? lol

Are you aware Meta keeps paying larger and larger fines each year for failing to comply with gdpr in Facebook? Last one was 1.3 BILLION. they just keep doing it.

No it’s OK because the industry told him its for men so it’s got gay

What a dunce
