What I’m really confused about is how are we going to confirm at account creation that the age is correct? Or that the person using the computer is who the account is for?

2·24 days agoTo clarify, I was asking for his M$ account details. And when I needed to get the verification codes out of his email, he kept giving me a password for what he thought was a working account.

1·25 days agoI’ve meet younger folks like this, but they are usually acting too entitled to do things for themselves. When it’s someone from an older generation, they actually start asking for help, and when we guide them through the process their remarks are usually about how simple it was.

31·25 days agoThe issue as I have presented isn’t one of “Old People Dumb”, but one of the idea that older people shouldn’t refuse to learn about something because they are “too old”. Or enabling that line of thinking. I recently had a customer buy a new computer for me and paid for a setup. I needed account details, and he had no idea what his accounts were, his passwords, just that he wanted his computer setup. When I asked for any passwords to get the setup done, he didn’t know because his kids set all that up. If the kids took a moment to show him what was going on, how things worked, maybe he would have had an idea when he needed it.

2·25 days agoI actually like most of the people in the middle. Those are the people who figure out enough to become type A. The rest I can tell are trying, so I’m not worried about them not becoming Type A.

3·25 days agoWorking in a store with a self-service printing center, I can tell you it’s a lack of wanting to learn, or even read. Instructions are spelled out on the copiers, but many of my customers will demand someone to help them before even looking at the device because they claim they are too old and not tech-minded enough to do it themselves. Actual excuses to not even trying.

6·25 days agoI’m a sales supervisor in an office supply store, and I get this ALL THE TIME! I once had someone argue with me over the name of the cable connectors and wondered why I didn’t know what they were talking about. Then they said, and I quote, “Well, to me that’s what I call them, so I’m going to just keep calling them that.”

There was another one once, pornlemmy. Not sure what killed it, but it also no longer exists.

Sometimes, if the actor is someone who films specific kinks I like, but otherwise not really.
