i coordinate closely with someone from a partner organization that refuses to send any meeting requests in the form of an invite. it's explicitly my job to forward their emails as outlook invites due to the number of times meetings have not made it on to necessary attendees calendars

Technology has failed them, and you. Learn to I worked at a factory that had to sell due to dissolving relations between the owners (all brothers). It got bad, and they were a small private company, and everything had to be inventoried (something to do with a publicly listed buyer). They were on an entirely paper based system into the 2010s (at least from my perspective on the floor), and from all accounts rushed a transition to a computer based system. Apparently the guy who told them frankly "You don't get there from here" was let go and people willing to shut up and get paid replaced him. I haven't worked there for years, but judging from what I witnessed before I left I'd bet the evil corporation that bought us is probably still doing mandatory weekend inventory slams several times a year. I once got nicely advised by my boss that I was wasting my time on carefully inventoring parts and scrap. It was basically "you're doing what's supposed to happen. And HERE (before me) isn't, and HERE (after me) isn't. It's a drop in the ocean and a waste of time. That was my first and last forray into having a "real" job. I dig pretty nice holes now. Sometimes there's roots and you get to chop em with an axe!

I don't actually own an electron cannon anymore, but I would suppose that there would be some kind of image you could get out of that set-up. But this is a very, very silly idea to begin with, when keyboards have had a "print screen" button since the dawn of time, and so on. Also I have known some professors who would insist on printing out all their e-mails because they didn't like reading screens, but the guys (they were invariably people who identified as male) I am thinking of have all retired by now. Smart phones probably made a big difference here.

The print screen button is the bane of my existence for when I need someone to send me a small screenshot of something. Nobody knows how to use the sniping tool and they just send a massive screenshot of their two monitors that requires 30 seconds of scrolling in email on the phone when I just needed to see two excel cells.

Dos anyone know what kind of government McDonaldland is supposed to be ruled under? They have a "Mayor" McCheese, but McDonaldland surely isn't just a single town without a country? Also, Ronald doesn't have a title, but it seems pretty obvious that Ronald McDonald must either rule or have founded McDonaldland. Were the Fry Guys and Grimace the native population that Ronald usurped?

It runs on small town dynamics. Ronald's "title" is the fact that the town is named after him. His family has likely has owned all the most productive land in the town for generations and he spends his time watching Fox News all day and ordering the council to convene to talk about BK migrants coming to steal their TVs. They put up with it because the cops love Ronald and the drug court programs they administer keep kids from fleeing the town and forces them to work whatever lovely job they're offered for bare minimum wages, since the council is all landlords and lovely SBOs.

I think it's funny that Carl Barks made Scrooge McDuck first as an antagonist but then as a hero figure, and Don Rosa (who was an engineer, which already tells you which way this is going to go!) explicitly made Scrooge a hero figure with a Sordid Past. And Rosa spells it out in one of the stories that Scrooge literally owns nearly all of Duckburg's properties! Small town dynamics in fictional settings are weird.

I has been maybe 30+ years since I was involved in Duck Tales content, but wasn't there a literal wizard who needed money to cast spells and kept trying to rob Scrooge? Duck Tales was always pretty wild.

First of all, I am offended that you label it all under Duck Tales, but on the other hand the new show was great so you're forgiven. The duck slash wizard you are probably thinking of was Magica DeSpell, who wanted to steal Scrooge's first coin (it's a whole deal, never mind) because it would make her able to turn anything into gold. There's a couple of funny comic stories that deal with the ridiculousness of the "Midas touch", too.

McDonaldland is clearly a monarchal city-state where Mayor McCheese is delegated authority while Ronald, the Burger Imperator (NOT a king!!), goes about his personal interests. The hamburgler is merely a criminal.

The Hamburgler is the child of the chief of police, aware of his own immunity to consequence and who takes delight in ensnaring into his schemes anybody who is not so protected but doesn't understand that they're being manipulated by a probable sociopath. It's why every time you see him he seems to be driving some new car and nobody seems to suspect or notice him despite how obvious he is being.

Epic High Five is absolutely correct and it is insane to me that there are people who think the Hamburgler is not on Ronald or the Mayor's payroll. Nothing we have seen in the canon indicates that the Hamburgler is so amazingly skilled that he has been evading capture for half a century. If Ronald wanted him dead, then he would have been dead a long time ago.
