A good way to lose a sale is using really obvious AI imagery on your product listing.

Look at this bollox - a UK socket outlet, with a photo that shows something using a miniature plug that fits only in the Neutral hole!

Ok..I'm stumped. Posted from London via Royal Mail. Trump taxes pre-paid on their website.

And yet, returned to me, with sticker indicating that Swiss Post has suspended operations.

Why the hell was it even going to Switzerland? That's not on the way to Colorado

Reminds me of the typo on an edition of some book by Jeremy Black that was an apology for the Empire, which referred to the black and trans soldiers sent to Ireland

You like a bit of beefcake, and you think LGBTQ people shouldn't be persecuted for who they are?

Another "Rate your support experience" and "Why did you give that score" to which I have given the helpful answer "So you won't have anyone shot ... Join a union"
A screenshot of a survey asking "What's the reason for your score" with the response "So that you don't have anyone shot. Honestly, I hate the way everything has to be rated, and then someone in HR will keep these things on file, just in case they want to find a way to punish someone later. So, always rate high. Never give those bastards in management an excuse. And join a union."

Book bans save kids!
Book bans save kids Back in the 1980s, Section 28 made lots of schools remove any books which mentioned homosexuality positively. Teenagers are notoriously studious, and only ever come out after they’ve read about being gay & properly researched it. No teenager in the UK came out during the whole time Section 28 was in force! So, it’s obvious that by removing any books that mention trans people from school libraries in Kent, the new council will stop anyone from transitioning. Take away the books, Take away the trans! *This whole post is sarcasm, ok?

You might have hoped that Google's AI overview would be able to grasp the difference between England and the UK. But no, not really....

(Was wondering how many callls it would take to disprove Birbalsingh's latest rubbish)
Asked how many independent schools there are in England, Google AI says 2421. Asked how many independent schools in the UK, Google's AI says 2421 in the UK. Then it separately lists 2421 for England, 90 for Soctland, 83 for Wales and 14 for Northern Ireland.

Due to some VAT rate changes, we’ll have to adjust a lot of our BLUF store prices at the end of this month, which means many items – especially clothing – will cost a little bit more.

BUT we’ll keep all the prices the same as they are now, until the 28th of June.
