I feel a lot of kinship with Scrooge at the end A Muppet’s Christmas Carol because even when he’s being nice he still has to do a bit.

I’m playing The Blue Prince and I have been correct about the parlour puzzles 100% of the time. This is even more impressive when you consider that the game itself has been wrong about the right answer a BUNCH of times.

A lot of people love games and want to make their own, so they go and learn everything there is to know about games, specifically that if they wanted to get their ideas made they should have been left a major financial institution in their dad’s will.

It’s hard to imagine that this article will get as much attention as Wall Street Journal slop that it repudiates, which is a real shame: wheelchairtravel.org/jetway-jesus...
"Jetway Jesus" and the Airport Wheelchair Imposters Lie - Wheelchair Travel
Accusations that airline passengers are faking disabilities to get extra perks at the airport are evidence of a fundamebtal misunderstanding of disability.

There is no solution to the "people booking wheelchairs they don't need" issue. Being able to book a wheelchair at the airport without providing five different forms of proof that you need it is a benefit to disabled people that far outweighs the cost of people sometimes abusing it.
that WSJ article about wheelchairs at the airport obviously sucks shit but it points to another issue which is Americans are so thoroughly worked over by constant and omnipresent scams that they now see anything which benefits another person as merely a scam that they are not in on

Just a heads up: if you notice that someone is walking with a cane you should not, under any circumstances:
1. Do a joke you have about walking canes (it isn't funny)
2. Ask them why they're walking with a cane (it's none of your business)
3. Otherwise make them feel othered for using a mobility aid

The other big customer service tip is to never start out by being shitty. It makes things much easier when it turns out that the problem was a mistake you made.
Chris handles all the CS emails we get at the Hat. If you include these 3 things it really helps speed up the process of resolving your issue.

Dear Friends,
When reaching out to Customer Service of any organization regarding problems with an order of any kind, you should really:
1) Give an order number if one was provided
2) Confirm the email address you used to contact CS is the one you used for the order.
3) State the problem clearly.

You know what’s better than being free? Being expensive.
Maybe it is just as well. It is sad that Veritasium has sold out, but it is even sadder that the buyers sound like they regularly insert ⬛️ into power outlets. Be glad you are free!

Sure, Mage of Sail is anti-capitalist and anti-colonialism NOW, but change is just a large cheque away. Perhaps The Sinister Dr Flesch could be the new hero? Maybe The Heinous Dr Brehn is the firm hand our economy needs right now.

In the olden days when I had a computer problem I had a particular internet forum whose users would help me out every time, including going through a BIOS line by line over the phone.
I just moaned about my computer problem in my Discord and a user from that forum DM'd me to help me fix it.
