barking in the 90s

They can't see how they're tainting their future careers by being a mouthpiece for a misogynistic movement that is sterilising and mutilating kids who are gay, autistic, traumatised, etc.? A movement that has forced incarcerated women to be housed with convinced, intact, male rapists? A movement that calls lesbians bigoted genital fetishists for not wanting to get with men in dresses? A movement that demands males be allowed to compete against women and girls in sports? A movement that says women should have no rights whatsoever to rape crisis centers, miscarriage support groups, and intimate care free from males. Really?

-The people answering the phone have zero control over the policy. Don’t yell at them. The job is mostly getting yelled at for stuff you have no control over.

-Call centers have very strict rules about when and why you are allowed to disconnect a call. Being polite and confused absolutely does not qualify. They have to spend that time with you.

-In call centers, call times are strictly monitored. You have goals to get through. Slowing down those times, while being polite, and increasing wait times makes the bosses notice. The bank call center I worked for our call average was supposed to be 2 minutes. When everyone’s average went up because of something happening, management noticed. And did not enjoy it because on slow call days they could let people sign up for “early outs” so you could leave and they didn’t have to pay you. When the phones are slammed and call times up, you have to pay more. You are probably looking at overtime pay for a chunk of staff. Something they really don’t want to do.

-These polite interactions often get taken more seriously than someone screaming. Screaming can get dismissed as “irrational” or something. But “I am a customer and don’t understand this, can you explain it?” And then multiplied by thousands? That gets logged. That gets discussed. That can’t be ignored that a lot of customers are asking for answers.

"Oh anyone who's worked customer services just wants to be as efficient as possible" no we fucking didn't, twat. Not on call center pay.

I KNOW this fuckass loser never worked call center cause they got a whole ass thread about how to """politely""" torment workers and thinks they're being so fucking class consciousness about it.

"Pester this person on their job for as long you can, just don't yell! This is activism :)))))))))))"

Here's what actually happens in a call center where you're on minimum fucking wage and have to time your piss: you do not care.

You have a script in front of you, and you read from it. Customer wants you to try something else, (sorry) repeat your line. Customer insists. (sorry) repeat your line. That's it. Can I speak to your supervisor? Sure, my supervisor hasn't actually worked this decade, but I know he'll do it just for you. Oops, seems like he's (sorry) too.

"Call centers have very strict rules about when and why you are allowed to disconnect a call."

lol of course they do, playboy, and they're super enforced, too! That's how jobs relying on underpaid staff and with no proper regulatory bodies work.

How many times does your call "mysteriously" disconnects when on customer service? How weird that even with the technology we have today phone lines in call centers are so consistently unreliable, isn't.

Here's what happens to annoying fucks that annoy you on the job: their call gets accidentally cut off (not on our end! of course! it just goes poof) and they get bounced around like the ping-pong ball of annoying fuck they are.

"These polite interactions often get taken more seriously than someone screaming."

It doesn't matter, oh my god. You're a number on the screen with a generic numbered complaint. You could be speaking elvish with a big bang in the background, screaming bloody murder, whispering in tongues, you're still just #88893 - code 223 (legitimate purchase rejected) to them you bourgeoisie idiot.

"When the phones are slammed and call times up, you have to pay more. You are probably looking at overtime pay for a chunk of staff."

That has never happened in the history of ever. Customer service ends at 6? It ends at 6. It doesn't matter if there's 10 or 100 or 1000 average callers. Call again tomorrow :)

24h call centers have, guess the fuck what, two shifts, and they're both as uninterested that you exist.

You're not getting anywhere. You're not doing anything. You're a number, your internal ticket (oooooooh wow serious business) is a number, it goes on the computer, next call, whatever. When is my piss time already.

"They have to spend that time with you."

Yes they do, don't they. They're forced to listen to you. That's precisely who you wanna be targeting :) The minimum wage workers who can't deny you, can't complain, and just have to take your whining like the customer service dog they are.

— Hentai and video games in which we could rape women. I even called a call center once. For 25 minutes. Had a ticket number and everything.

— What do you mean? Rape women?

— Yeah. Oh I was fuming. There were like 500 incest and rape games and they got removed from a website, along with sexist porn, for a couple of days. It was fascism. Pure and simple.

— Grandpa... I don't follow...

— There was a website. And my favourite hentai game was not on it anymore, because of some feminist bitches. Man, this was the fight of our lives! You should have seen it.

— Grandpa... I was talking about serious stuff. Like... There's no fish in the sea anymore, we're killing each other for clean water, all the forests are on fire, there's a war going on...

— So I signed an online petition, and Elon Musk himself said we were right to do so. He said he'd create his own payment method just for us. So we could get all the rape games we deserve. And, as I said, I called Mastercard for 25 minutes. I talked to the manager. My heart was beating so fast. But you gotta do what you gotta do, you know? For hentai.

— Grandpa, what does "hentai" mean anyway?

Like if they put this much organized concentrated effort into calling insurance companies and demanding that they stop approving claims for elective circumcision of male infants. Or calling cities and demanding funds be allocated to men's crisis centers. Or any other number of topics they bring up when attempting to discredit feminists.

And it’s flabbergasting because it’s from 1888, Jacquard machine, IT USED PUNCH CARDS to weave these intricate pages … something like 400 weft per near square inch … IT looks like a page of textured paper, but it’s not, it’s entirely SILK … F*CK …

BUT this is the item btw

Jacquard Loom: Early Computer Programing    

I just wanted to add a video discussing how a jacquard-loom worked, cuz this is nuts

They also were a technological moment that is very familiar, nowadays. Jacquard shows up with a new tool that cuts generations of tradition and craftsmanship down into cheap, easy labor. Needless to say, the 40,000 people of the Lyonnaise silk industry that were Jacquard’s neighbors did not appreciate their labor being stolen. Silkweaver unions had a tendency to lead huge revolts when unhappy.

please enjoy these hilarious depictions of Lyonnaise silkweavers hanging Joseph Marie Jacquard over the Rhône, and fantasize about doing the same to your AI developer of choice.

also if we’re talking about jacquards, here is my favorite Jacquard silk weaving of Jacquard holding a Jacquard silk weaving of Jacquard, while a weaver whose family all lost their jobs because of Jacquard, glared out at the audience, while weaving silk on a Jacquard

>MangaZ shuts down because payment processors blocked it

>Melonbooks no longer accepts use of VISA & Mastercard on online stores (because of censorship)

>DLsite starts to block countries from viewing certain content, no longer accepts VISA & Mastercard

>Payment processors block team payments for creators of adult games on Steam

>Now Surugaya has removed their online listings for adult games & doujin because of payment processors

And yeah, the people losing their minds over this? They’re outing themselves.

Because if you're genuinely mad that you can’t buy porn on a site that refused to remove child-coded content... what does that say about you?

Like, there is a very simple solution here. These websites need to stop even offering that kind of content. Full stop. No more loopholes, no more ‘but it’s just drawings,’ no more hiding behind anime avatars.

Japan is still lenient on fictional depictions of minors in sexual contexts.But that doesn’t make it right, and it’s increasingly coming under global scrutiny.

I hope the rest of the world keeps calling Japan out hard for this. That industry that churns out this sick, exploitative garbage? Yeah, I hope the artists behind it go broke, lose every dime, and face real consequences. Jail time included. Because when you profit off sexualizing kids....I kinda want you dead :)

If you’re gonna read drawn porn, the bare-ass minimum for your messed-up p9rn rotten brain is to make sure all the characters are adults!

One step at a time, sure. But every step counts and, I think Andrea Dworkin would absolutely be proud.

Fun fact: a lot of manga artists had to start as NSFW artists just to put food on the table. Sure, I get it—capitalism’s a nightmare. But you lose all sympathy the second you drag kids into that mess.

Nobuhiro Watsuki, busted for real-life CP. And guess what? No jail time! His manga series just got a remake. Surprise, surprise. Welcome to the hellscape.Also another not so fun fact the author of Please Tell Me! Galko-chan,Kenya Suzuki has the same skeleton in his closet. Oh, and don’t forget the director of Your Name... Koichiro Ito . Turns out the industry’s got a whole revolving door of men involved in child abuse.

Tbh, just watch anime and read manga by women,you’ll feel better. Way less creepy vibes, way more heart.

No, they seem to get it. What they are is soulless, unable to see human suffering for what it is because it comes in the form of a girl or woman.
