    must be a TL, many times over

    Telemarketers

    Got a call today, some dude from Vodafone selling their shit whatever
    I tried to be polite first, he kept babbling, I told him to shut up, he hung up
    for next few minutes I was continuously receving phonecalls from various numbers, about 5 calls a minute, blocked all of them eventually

    never had anything to do with Vodafone, now I do want to have something to do with Vodafone until Vodafone is no more

    I was having a nice relaxing day off, and now since that shit happened I want to be a nazi distributing cancer to babies

    telemarketers, please kill yourselves

    The 5 year old kid:
    "Mom. Mom. MOM!!" *stern look* "Hello! I'm talking to you! Pay attention!"

    The mom (looks frightened):
    "Oh, sorry honey!"

    I wanted to punch some manners into the kid, but i should probably punch some parenting into the mom.

    Instagram.

    Once again.

    I unfollowed many accounts an am only following slightly more than 300 people now. And in the past I was already suspecting that Instagram secretly adds people to my following who I never followed.

    Now, I just found out that it wasn't just a suspicion. Because I had exported a list of all people I was following and a model appeared in my feed that I never saw. To my surprise Instagram said, I was following her. So, I checked the list, saw that I didn't and unfollowed her again.

    How lame is this to program such a stupid algorithm?

    Punch, punch, punch...

    Microsoft, and my Xbox Series X that died exactly two months out of their pitiful 12 month warranty (should have got the extended I guess).

    If they sell these things at a loss to make money on games, they should probably make the warranty longer, or put a robust power supply in them. These pricks want $300 to fix it. Which means, I have to fix it myself now.

    It's probably the power supply, but I have 0% interest in trying to troubleshoot this thing. Plus, you literally have to take every fucking screw out of it to remove the PS. Why didn't these dipshits just stick to the external power brick! Not to mention, you can't even get an OEM supply (not sure I'd even want OEM, tbh). I'd have to get an aftermarket one, or roll the dice on a used/rebuilt one.

    The only reason I got this is because I didn't want to deal with gaming PC's anymore (size + cost), and wanted AAA titles on release day instead of a year later. But, I should have put that $500 into a new PC.

    After two red-ringed 360's, and now this bullshit, these guys are dead to me. I'm so pissed off about this. I don't even play the god-forsaken thing that much. Eat shit Microsoft!!

    Ozempic is a perfect example of how anti-fat bias drives us in the opposite direction. Because when they realized that weight loss was a side effect of this drug for some folks and that they could deliver what looked like really dramatic weight loss with minimal side effects, they immediately started marketing in that direction very aggressively.

    [Ozempic] is not the only weight loss drug being marketed that way. There's also Wegovy, which the FDA just approved for use in ages 12 and up. ... And so what we're doing, again, is saying, "We're acknowledging the anti-fat bias is a problem. We're acknowledging that it's terrible to treat people in big bodies badly. But if we can just make everyone thin, that goes away." And again, the solution to racism is not to make everyone white. The solution to homophobia is not to make everyone straight. This is not how we as a culture want to be proceeding on this issue.

    This bitch is comparing fat shaming to racism and getting press.

    “The chronic experience of weight stigma ... is similar to the research we see on chronic experiences of racism or other forms of bias,” Sole-Smith says. “This raises your stress level. This has you in a constant state of fight-or-flight, and stress hormones are elevated. That takes a toll on our bodies for sure.”

    Sole-Smith says parents can combat American diet culture by reclaiming — and normalizing — the word “fat.” Instead of shushing a child in the grocery store who asks why a stranger is so fat, she advises parents to explain that bodies come in lots of shapes and sizes, some fat, some thin.

    Sole-Smith, who herself identifies as “small fat,” suggests using the word “fat” as a neutral descriptor, saying it helps “take all the power out of the word. We make it something that can’t be weaponized against us, and that really is the first step towards starting to dismantle anti-fat bias.”

    Sole-Smith argues the issue of childhood obesity has become a “proxy,” which obscures larger, systemic problems, including childhood hunger and poverty.

    Thin privilege is a concept that is tricky to get our heads around, because if you have it, you don’t really see how much you have it. I mean, it’s a lot like white privilege in that way because you don’t see how much it’s benefiting you. But what we’re talking about with thin privilege is the fact that if you are someone who can wear “straight” sizes [0 to 14], you can walk into The Gap or Target or whatever and find your size easily on the rack. ...

    It means when you go to the doctor, your weight is not the first and often only thing that’s talked about. It means you can sit on an airplane and not worry about buckling the seatbelt. You can go to a restaurant without worrying, Will they have booths that are too tight for you to get into while the chairs have arms that are too tight? Physical spaces are built for your body. And whatever your own personal struggles might be ... your body is not a target for the world in the way that someone in a bigger body is.

    • This is sending me into a white-hot rage. Ugh.
      Whoever thinks being thin/fit is a privilege over being morbidly obese needs to be taken out behind the shed.

    Spotify.

    They again updated the desktop app without the "New episodes" for Podcasts to be shown. Why?

    There's "New episodes" for Podcasts on the mobile app so you can listen to the podcasts in chronological order but not so on the desktop app. WTF?

    Am I missing something? How do you listen to the latest podcasts on the desktop app?
