Our best hope for the next four years is that they spend so much time fighting amongst themselves, they'll be too busy to completely fuck everything else up. I'm sure they'll try, but god, I hope there's still a Department of Education in 2029. Lack of critical thinking skills is what got us these morons in the first place, we have enough stupid people in this country already.
... YES. HE IS.
THIS IS WHAT WE, AND HE, HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU THIS ENTIRE TIME YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS.
>it's all morons complaining about vaccinations
oh fuck off.
Conservatives: I like [insert obnoxious conservative figurehead] because they tell it like it is, they mean what they say
Also conservatives, sometimes in the same breath: Fake! [obnoxious conservative figurehead] didn't mean that! Taken out of context! 'Tis but a jape!
Jesus fuck the reality distortion field is strong, it's like doublethink but without being a clever social trick to survive, it's just they're that stupid.
honestly, this is brilliant. Not only is it going to make it easier to understand people with really thick accents -- I've worked with lots of Indian people before (hotel industry) and I still get tripped up from time to time, especially over a crappy phone line -- but it'll also probably cut down on a lot of the racist shit they may take from customers. I can imagine the average call center employee with a thick accent takes a fair bit more abuse than call center employees who speak without an accent.
on the other hand, this might also make it harder to identify a scam call immediately if this becomes commonplace. Not that perfect English speakers aren't also capable of scamming you, but, usually the scam callers aren't perfect English speakers.
