  • It’s biggest problem was the arguably not so good first season I think.

    I thought the 1st season of The Expanse was good, but the 2nd season was so bad that I stopped watching in middle of episode 2. The difference was pretty stark, almost as bad as the difference between the great season 1 of Spooks/MI-5 vs its god-awful season 2.

    I’d recommend the first 2 seasons of Okkupert, and Firefly.

    While I think Chernobyl is a great fiction series, there’s a huge amount of completely unnecessary lies in it, including the intro and outro about lies.



  • Maybe it’s time. E.g. waiting for IT to walk over or remote in, or doing something slower because the user is explaining what they’re doing.

    I find that waiting for the click to have a result makes some problems not appear, vs. the user double/right clicking something 6 times because they don’t want to wait. Me waiting for the OS to finish loading everything, vs. the user clicking something 6 times while services or even UI elements are still loading.

  • and then tell them to have a good day

    Might this be an extravert thing? Do extraverts enjoy being told to have a good day?

    I prefer not to, and I also don’t want to be told to smile. I’ll put up with banalities like “Hi” even when there’s no need to actually get attention, and “Thanks” when the person clearly isn’t thankful; but if asked “How are you?” I might actually answer and they probably won’t like my answer if they didn’t mean it.

    Maybe introverted people put more value in honesty and not wasting time?

    If you decide not buy the omnicidal product because palm oil is an ingredient, that’s good.

    Unfortunately only a tiny fraction of people are ethical. The rest are not just unknowingly buying products containing palm oil, but are actively choosing to speed-run us towards a mass-extinction event.
