I really don't give a shit about internet famous people and now, I also don't care why anyone else cares. I'm sorry I ever asked the question.

Only because he's white. If he was black, I would have said stereotypical black. I wasn't addressing this at you. I'll edit to say stereotypical ~~douche bag~~ ~~frat boy turd~~ thing.

This is why giving importance to "not the focus" of the message gets in the way. Now we aren't talking about -insert meme here- anymore. We are talking about someone's personal issue with how I phrased something. Honestly, just proves the point of getting distracted by irrelevant things.

Why would anyone care who the stereotypical white dude is? That is giving importance/energy to the wrong thing. I didn't even really notice nor care who he was (and still don't). That said, I don't generate memes with him in it so I guess I'm doing my part. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I see your TLD is ".de" so maybe there it works, not in America. Home of the "free".

Changing the setting in Teams and Outlook to Default Browser resulted in links that did not work at all. Removed Teams add-on was the only solution.

Soooo, we will all start sounding like Alvin and the Chipmunks soon?

Meanwhile, if you use Microsoft Teams & Outlook with the Teams add-on installed ... and you are wondering why your email links are suddenly opening in Edge instead of your default browser, disable the Teams add-on in Outlook and rage for a moment at the stupidity.

Teams is forcing Edge browser to open links in new Teams and by extension, in Outlook. Setting the default browser to open links within Outlook settings just leads to un-clickable links. The only way to fix it is to disable the Teams Outlook add-on.

Yes, same old Microsoft. Anyone who thinks they have changed in any way since the days of forcing Internet Explorer as the default are sadly and woefully mistaken.

As an extra FU, if you want to opt out of data sharing with partner advertising on the Magenta Marketing Platform you have to know your Android or IOS advertising ID number or you have to install an app ... which most likely profiles you and sells your data to yet another 1000 partners.

Yeah, what I wouldn't give to have each person responsible for this madness sent to Dante's Inferno worst ring of hell.

Most everyone has been to this point some time in their life. The question is how you handle the answer.

The world is cruel and doesn't care. That's why YOU must care for yourself, not kill yourself.

My suggestion for you is to take stock of all that you have to offer and then list what you like. Interests, hobbies, skills, knowledge (like can you do your own taxes or expert at filling out student loan forms, you can do construction or plumbing, etc.). Anything goes.

Now see what lines up from column A and column B and write down a list of jobs that needs/uses those things. Now you know what kind of work you can do and won't hate.

Next list what you like and dislike about your personality. Then, do the same for everyone else. You should see a pattern (i.e. I like intelligent conversations/ I dislike loud people) of things that go hand in hand. Like the loudest person in a room is usually the dumbest too.

Anyway, once you know all these things, you should be able to tell if a job is for you and if the people you'll be working with are a match.

The key is to like what you do and the people you do it with. The money will eventually come if you don't hate going to work or the people you work with. At the very least, your life won't suck. Also, never stop looking for a better job or opportunity.

A perfect job doesn't exist (unless you are your own boss) and the good ones don't always stay that way. Adjust to that reality and always be looking ahead. That is how you navigate/work the system. I am a sore loser and never back down so letting the system win is not an option. It shouldn't be for you either.

Now I understand everyone's shit's emotional right now. But I've got a 3 point plan that's going to fix EVERYTHING. ...

Not sure what this means tbh but financial violence is a really good way to put it. lol

To some extent yes. However, the problem doesn't go away. It just becomes cyclical.

Not many people out there are likely to say that they haven't spent money on a number of brands hopping from one to the other until the enshittifcation catches up to the brand.

When we run out of brands, then what? Amazon Firestick, Google Chromecast, Roku, Android TV, WebTV OS ...

I just think on top of not buying their products in the future, it would make sense to also fight the fight that will prevent others from doing the same thing now and in the future. Eliminate the need to turn away from a brand because they are allowed to screw us on the value of our purchase trying to milk us for more profit. TV prices might go up a few hundred or more (and if you want a new feature, it might cost you) but you know that what it does or doesn't do when you get, it will still do it later on it's it's lifespan. Of course, this will be all moot once hardware becomes a subscription model. The lack of personal ownership of things in the name of perpetual profits is a thing coming ...
