That guy just got replaced by KFC Santa is all.
Clearly written by an LLM. Math is hard.
Its supposed to be illegal for banks to be in “sales” but my wife was working for BMO and they were forcing her to prioritize outbound cold calls ans upselling products the customer didnt need and would clearly be bad for their financials as a Personal Banking Assistant. The conflict of interest was so great it stressed her right the fuck out and she had to take leave and start therapy. Her MS also spiked likely due to the stress levels. She was there to help people, and she made the bank earn loyal customers and they willing got more products from the bank because she helped them. She was the top performer at the bank if she just let her do the job she was there to do, but instead her boss started ragging on her daily about her cold calling numbers and forcing her to cancel necessary appointments and focus time to deal with customer requests and instead prioritize sales.
In the end her numbers dropped, her customer satisfaction dropped, and her MS got worse from the stress and she’s now on long term leave, uncertain if she’ll recover her focus and able to go back to work. Her neurologist has said she cannot go back for now.
Not sure how that bullshit helped the bank, but I can sure see how I didn’t, and I may be wrong but I think there are laws against it.
Also worth noting that this change in tactics happened right at the same time BMO took all their “we’re here to help” signage down. Brings so many memories of Google dropping the “don’t be evil”. Everything that came after in both cases was shit.
EDIT: Oh looks like CBC did an article on this now because it is so prolific. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/banks-upselling-go-public-1.4023575
Now you’ve got me wondering about this for Canada. Would be a pita to move mortgage and investments, but there must be a better way than the big banks.
The problem for me is that most Canadian Banks give you the choice of SMS or their shitty adware filled bank app that relies on Google Play Services and wont implement TOTP so I can use a true MFA app. And Im done with being forced to accept user policies I don’t agree with to do shit, and most of all done with Google Play Services on my device 😑
Dafuq is a Walmart+
Is that like a Walmart but with extra weirdos from your local community?
Shitposts getting literal over here.
Hey no worries, I dunno why I even called that out. Lack of sleep due to back pain and responding to posts at 2am I guess
That’s some shitty ‘hacking’…
But what makes these shell commands ‘bash’ exactly? Seems like this could be a half-dozen shells.
Also… why are ‘hackers’ always using a shell in some gui program?
That’s not a statistic, its a news headline reporting on a chain of events.
I love that scene. I don’t remember the glove ever being that responsive to motion controls 🤣
Full scene for the uninitiated
I see folks sharing a lot of joysticks I started with, but I think I’ll go with the original Wiimote

When I got into computers the tech that trained me in my first coop placement in high school told me, on day one, “Anyone who ever tells you they know everything about computers is an idiot.”
Still resonates with me today and I always tell juniors the same.
Meanwhile Western leaders are still putting their fingers in their ears going “Nah nah nah, this is a war between neighbours”
How many foreign nations need to out boots in Ukraine on Russia’s side before NATO wakes the fuck up to the fact that WW3 has begun, exactly? 10?
Not really, and I’m over it. Couldnt really get people to move away from Meta products either. I just do what is best for me and my family’s privacy without waiting for all my friends to join me. Plenty of cool people here.
