So in order to get a refund, Walmart wants the customer to hold on to a gloppy mess, and then have them personally travel to a store to bring the glop into a brick n mortar location, for a product that they paid to have Walmart deliver to their house, all just for walmart to refund the customer a measly 8 dollars back, for a fuck up that was all Walmart's fault?
That's insanity.
In all the other grocery delivery services, when a customer calls in to report that an item is missing or damaged then the company simply refunds the customer for that item, no questions asked. Which is obviously the correct way to do things.
This person was NOT being unreasonable. If you were the customer service person in this conversation then i would double check that you're actually following Walmart's procedures for damaged inexpensive food items.
I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn't see anything relating to it and I'm kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see....
Ooo that's a great one! Helping someone else makes me feel good basically 100% of the times i do it. And it doesn't even have to be a major help, or even a moderate help, just helping someone in a minor way gives me a good feeling.
(Not an insult) i assume you're autistic or have some autistic traits, so maybe people in the autism forums could help too.
Generally you can look at anything and everything you want to look at, but just don't do it for more than a few seconds in a row.
Like for example if there's two of you at a table and you're having a conservation then it would go something like this. look in you tablemate's eyes for 3-5 seconds, then look at your plate for a few seconds while you're using your utensils on your food, then look in your tablemate's eyes for another 3-5 seconds, then look at the wall decor for a few seconds, then back at your tablemate's eyes for a few seconds, then back on your plate to look at what you're eating for a few seconds, then back to your tablemate's eyes again for a few seconds. Now that i talk it out, i think it's right for about every other look to be at your tablemate's eyes.
Basically it's the same as any situation where you're having a conversation with someone. Look at their eyes for a few seconds, then look at something else for a couple seconds, then look back at their eyes again for a few seconds.
Most people don't consciously think about these things very often at all. Generally there's only a very occasional sudden realization that you've been starting at a person's eyes for a bit too long and so look away for a moment. But really this is only a very very occasional thing. We almost never consciously think "ok where should i point my eyes now?"
Or at least that's how it is for me. I guess I'm assuming that's how it is for most people too.
Trying to keep my very picky eater 3yo healthy as we're (hopefully) expanding his diet. Right now the only foods I can get him to actually eat are McDonald's, a specific brand of yogurt, banana bread, some crackers and some bars. Refuses any beverage besides water. (He's likely on the spectrum.)
Freeze dried fruit. It makes fruit taste and crunch more like candy. My nephew goes crazy for freeze dried fruit. Blueberries, figs, mango, there's so many to try
One of my most hated things in the dying days of Reddit is people having to put the /s because of all the mass down voting from users that didn't get a post was a joke....
I don't know how anyone could live through the last decade and not see how important it is to denote when you're being sarcastic. "It ruins the joke" is preferable over it ruins society. Without the S idiots will read what you wrote and think there's people out there who actually support their idiotic ideas
Dude you're grasping at straws. I'm sure you think you're a genius, but you're not. You're wrong about this, but nothing anyone says could ever convince you if it.
Oh i absolutely boost my own comments because it's bizarre that it isn't done automatically like every other site with voting in existence does. What i don't do is use an alt account to boost it a second time
Been homeless over 6 years. My social services agency, high turnover. Being female , almost all my case managers have been female, standard practice....
It's important to not stereotype based on a tiny number of samples. If i saw 15 white social workers who were mostly nice, and 2 black social workers who were rude, do you think it would be reasonable for me to say white social workers are nice and black social workers are rude? There are literally hundreds of thousands of social workers. You've seen 17 of them. And only 2 were men. Plus i bet they were mostly all from the same agency, so the person doing the hiring there will very much be filtering who you work with, and the individual doing the hiring at that particular place may choose to hire nice women and rude men.
Bottom line - I totally believe what you say about your personal experiences, but the number of men you worked with isn't anywhere near big enough to say anything about men social workers as a group.
Given Apple's track record i wouldn't bet against it succeeding, but... I don't get it. My oculus that cost 350 does 95% of what the apple device does but costs literally 10 times more.
True but also let's be honest, sometimes it works great, but sometimes it doesn't work at all, and sometimes it works but took 100 times as much time and effort.

What do you do to cheer yourself up ?
Where do I look when seated at a restaurant to seem normal?
(when seated in a group with others, i should clarify. if i'm by myself i'm absolutely happy to be on my phone or book)...
Was music really better "back in the days"?
Tell me all the trash music/artists you know from around the 50s to 70s.
[Serious] Do you know of any processed snack foods with some vitamins?

Why is the /s necessary here as well?

Apple Vision Pro available in the U.S. on February 2 ( www.apple.com )
I honestly doubt this will take off, but it'll be interesting as a tech demo for what AR/VR can be at the highest end.
It's now my main project for the past year. ( lemmy.dbzer0.com )
