Cool, with the phone on silent (which I don't do) I'd have missed that too, and would have been cancelled and rescheduled.

This adamant denial that phone calls are useful is weird.

Weird, but I'm glad it works for you.

BTW, I work for one of those evil games companies that do reprehensible things, because I like having a good working environment and having a well paying job. You too have a good day.

Computer repair stores exist, but I suspect Apple users wouldn't know this, as all Apple has are sales people telling you to buy a new one or spend the price of a new one to get whatever fixed or upgraded (which isn't actually an option).

I had an iPad I won from work and Apple successfully turned it into a paperweight. I had to do these convoluted things just to get apps installed, because the app store refused to install them on an old device. Apple and it's walled garden are very much to blame, Steve Jobs perfected modern day planned obsolescence and the company does everything it can to ensure even small failures require a device replacement.

Isn't communism the devil or some dumb shit like that? We gotta protect our corporate overlords man, we wouldn't want to live in a dictatorship where a very rich few control the world! /s

I'm sorry you're going through it too. I visited last year, it was the first time in 3 years and I miss it so much, but know there's no future there for me. I hope where ever you are going will be good for you. It's hard leaving home.

I now live in a place where I can get pretty much everywhere with a train, subway or bus, but I do still miss the freedom of having a car sometimes, especially when it comes to getting stuff from the hardware store, lol.

Read the last part of what I said..

Maybe it's because us people hate corporate loyalty and anti consumer practices. And corporations are like lemmings, they see one company doing it and they all wanna follow.

I thought I was working at a great company, now I wonder if I'll be employed at the end of the year.

Blizzard/Activision

As far as I'm aware, things are better, but Bobby psychotic is still at the helm, we're hoping that MS boots him after the merger.

They've put non-HR platforms in place to combat the discrimination and harassment. Unfortunately everyone gets paid really badly.

Imagine having someone else live in your house and they shit in your toilet, god humans stink, does that not sound crazy to you? From your posts here, I think you have some issues. Did you grow up in a stank ass house with a million cats or something?
