SocialMediaRefugee,

And interest rates were a lot higher back then. No one had it “easy”

SocialMediaRefugee,

Do you expect them to jeopardize their bonuses by spending money on human beings to support customers? Then you’ll probably want them to keep them employed for more than a few months so they can actually become good at their jobs and familiar with the products.

SocialMediaRefugee,

Right up there with customer service lines that just have menus of canned responses that don’t address your need. No, I don’t need to hear your hours, I don’t need to know where you are, I can find all of that online. I need to talk to a human being.

SocialMediaRefugee,

The reasons I’ve heard (hah) are:

  1. They cost a lot
  2. People are biased against people who they see wearing hearing aids
  3. It makes you feel old and face aging
SocialMediaRefugee,

Fellow Xer here. My optometrist fitted me for my first pair of glasses for reading and said “welcome to your 40s”. I keep a cheap pair in every room and the nice prescription ones in my home/work offices.

SocialMediaRefugee,

Not sure what this has to do with boomers. I’ve heard people of all ages grumble about having to wear glasses.

You need to arm 100 guys? 100 spears is a lot cheaper and easier to train than 100 swords.

SocialMediaRefugee,

Your brain deliberately forgets trivial stuff. Do you really need to remember every lunch you had? Same goes for all the mundane stuff in history.

On the other hand so little of the mundane stuff was recorded that when we do see it it can be a window into how people actually lived, like Samuel Pepys diary. The daily stuff was so accepted as boring and common knowledge that it wasn’t considered worth recording.

SocialMediaRefugee,

I go on Wikipedia to look up a region in central Europe and an hour later find myself reading about obscure events in the 30 years war.
