@ThatDamnCat oh yeah that's annoying, I've had it happen to me where I list what I did in a ticket, then get a response back telling me to just do step 1 and marked closed and resolved without bothering tio find out what happens. About half my tickets with Blizzard are that way.
@ThatDamnCat like a guy telling a woman "you can trust me, I'm not one of the bad guys", it may be true, but can't be sure so gotta play it safe, and sorry if that hurts someone's feelings
@ThatDamnCat Oh no, that's an important step, because I've wasted so much time with power users when I've skipped over the most obvious steps and gotten into "real" troubleshooting only to find cable was plugged in wrong or caps lock was on.
One of the most difficult parts of tech support or troubleshooting is trying to get the person with the problem to tell you what exactly the problem is. It often involves a long boring process of trying to gently coax the information out of them without making them feel bad.

@Pizzazz Maybe have a separate eraser? Those big pink ones are iconic and cheap. Or some of the more artistic putty erasers for fidgeting use. Or look more professional with retractable mechanical eraser.

CW by the very nature of the work it takes people out of their comfort zones in varying levels of intensity.
Yay, home from work! And reveling in how truly adult and mature I am by having dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets. I'm at least making my own honey mustard dipping sauce instead of buying premade! I'm even going to try (non high fructose) corn syrup instead of honey.
TIL where the symbol of the pink triangle came from. What an introduction to my first listen of the podcast Minority Korner, episode 77.

@Firstaide There's other free software out there, like paint.net or GIMP. I haven't used them though.
I'm starting to suspect @Firstaide's vehicle mode isn't an ambulance after all, it's a welcome wagon... ;)
@limni Welcome! 🍍
@Firstaide I too lament one doesn't exist, but maybe it's for the better. Maybe they'd be fans in ways incompatible with my fandom. Like only knowing of the Bay films, or insisting the bots are heteronormative, or be a truck-not-monkey diehard, or focus too much on the violence and killing...
Ç, because of course there needs to be *another* letter that can sound like an S or a K just to confuse me, why not.
How easily I forget! Bread, rice, and a sandwich are all boy things. She can only eat a girl thing.
