      In my previous job i had to do a lot of coordination via email. I learned very quickly you can only ask a single question per email because very very few people would ever answer more than that. God forbid there was some semi complex task that needs done.

        Ha! I just gave that advice to someone on Lemmy a couple weeks ago. They were having problems getting people do respond to stuff at work and I had to explain how the average person can’t track more than one subject in a single communication chain.

    When what’s written is in a language you can read, what’s up with that? Reading is free, so to speak, and it enables laziness by not having to find and ask people stuff

    I worked gate security at a baseball stadium. Right next to where I stood there were two huge signs reading “No Smoking” and “No Re-entry”. Guess what questions I got asked all day.

    I have always had the opposite problem. You put written words in front of me, and I am compelled to read them. I only stopped reading TOS/EULAs because they’re always the same! You read 10 of em, you start to see they’re all exactly the same, with just names being changed.

        You agree to not break the law using their product, you agree to arbitration instead of going to a real court (which the company would pay for, not you, so please actually take them up on this en mass), you agree to not reverse engineer the code, reproduce the code or redistribute the code, etc. Long ass lists of what you can and can not use it for. Sometimes there’s funny shit in there like the tos for iTunes disallows you to use the software to create nuclear weapons. Idk how you would use iTunes for that but I guess they wanted all their bases covered.

        Tl;Dr - “You agree to be raped in the asshole by capitalism.”
