Memento posted:Trademarking a notoriously family-friendly image-conscious company's IP and then working in the "adult entertainment industry", what could possibly go wrong. Zelda.com was originally a porn site and Nintendo didn't get their hands on the domain until 2000. Archive.org still has some captures of it from '98 and '99. Ocarina of Time was out at that point and everything so it's not like it was some backburner IP at the time either. iirc they tried courts and were told to take a hike because Zelda was a name long before they printed it onto a cartridge label and they ended up just paying the porn site people an undisclosed sum of money.

Went back a year or so later and they were labelled "Men" and "Women" in Japanese. I think that they've even dropped the Australian theming there now.

Unless it's got some slang meaning, aren't "joeys" baby kangaroos in general? Not just males? If so this is double dumb.

I've been bopping today around trying to find a piece of collaborative software for a certain task (basically I need like a whiteboard that people can log into without registering or installing stuff, even if I have to pay on my end) and someone suggested "Wrike" to me. I went and signed up for a free account, and they insisted on a phone number. Since this was a work thing and I figured it would be necessary if I decided to get a full subscription I bopped a phone number in there and went about checking the features. The fuckers phoned me 20 minutes later I promptly deleted all personal information from my profile before deleting the account with a reason that said (I paraphrase) "I'm mostly deleting this because you phoned me what the gently caress is wrong with you"

Sometimes if you order electronics components and live in Silicon Valley, you’ll get calls from thirsty sales reps wanting to meet in person to discuss how they can help you in getting their component into the next Furby you may be prototyping.

If you sign up for their service, it pings the sales team every time you browse their site so that a sales rep can give you a call. I worked in a call center once for a finance consolidation service. It was my job to call people who had shown interest but hadn't signed up, and convince them to sign up. I found out after a while that most of them hadn't even filled out the entire form (it was pages and pages), but the webpage saved what info it could and harvested it. Apparently if they agreed, the company just sold their info to tons and tons of banks and they would basically be hounded by junk mail forever. Their ads were awful too, some of the worst animated ads on the early internet. That whole place was scummy.

There are aggregator services that will straight-up buy partially completed lead forms from you. I assume they hound your partial clients to the end of their days. Also, never under any circumstances give Zillow any of your info. They send your info straight to a Realtor and don't care what happens after that, and some of those people have automated lead development pathways (schedules of phone calls and text messages placed automatically) that last as long as 3 years.

I work in a chemical warehouse and we've got some poo poo that's destroyed if it drops below 32 degrees. Ward is one of the few ltl carriers that takes this stuff no matter what the temp is, during the bomb cyclone from the before times they were still taking when ever other carrier wouldn't risk the liability. It's actually a very big selling point they just advertised it in a real cringy way

Protect From Freeze is a really common label in grocery operations. The most common one I've seen is a snowflake slashed out. It's on produce, juice, sodas, most deli meats and cheeses, breads, really a lot more than you'd probably expect. If you don't trust your shippers they even sell anti-freeze stickers that discolor if they ever drop below freezing. Like what was said above, it's a very real thing but an awkward way to advertise it.

Captain Hygiene posted:We see you have bought a washer and dryer recently. I actually saw an explanation for that one, although I don't know if it's true. If you assume about 50% of people will never by a washing machine because they rent furnished places or whatever, and people who do buy them do so every 10 years or so, then in any given week there's about a 0.1% chance that you're looking to buy a washing machine. But, if you do buy one, there's like a 1% chance that's it arrives broken or you made a mistake and it doesn't fit in the space you have for it or something so you need to buy another one. ie, if you just bought one you're 10 times more likely to buy another one than the general population.
