That generally comes from however the corporation scores their live agents on QA. Almost any agent for any industry is supposed to run down a list of things to make that call short, before they can _really_ help you.
Sucks because it makes callers feel like agents aren’t listening to them.

My big frustration with calling customer service is how hard they try to drive you to the website. And like... I get it. But I'm tech savvy and if I'm calling it's because I have a problem I can't solve through your self-service systems
Also, every service.
Basically every visit to see my mom is 50% working through 2FA systems with her so she can pay utility bills.

This summer the 4th iteration of Superman was released.
Audiences know that the Craig Bond was a reboot. It had its own version of Spectre and Blofeld.
Amz/MGM heads apparently don’t understand it.
You need to create a new Bond, dummies, not continue the last one.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

I mean this could be very bad writing that notes that I defend nonlinear narrative, meandering, etc. (and I do praise indirect consequences a lot), but it sure sounds like something more specific, aka me talking about this guy.

Wemby took two field goal attempts in the first half, didn't block a shot, and completely controlled the game.

the Louvre heist very clearly based on the age old maxim that if you walk around holding a clipboard and a serious expression on your face absolutely nobody will question anything you’re doing
Writers: Ok so the heist team will include someone to get close to the curator's son and seduce him into revealing the whereabouts of the key that we will then briefly steal and make a copy of and return without anyone noticing via second to second precision and thats how we get in

The replies you are getting are not random people. They are not a statistical sampling of the audience.
They are aggressive deranged participants in harassment who are either bots using it to cloak themselves as human, a hired bot network, or just genuinely universal malcontents who hate ice cream.

Years ago there was a Twitter leak that disclosed actual countries and email address of many ppl's IDs.
To this day you can find MAGA accounts – that were originally started by posting cat pictures – praising Hitler and, if you trace their account ID, are actually run from Pakistan.
It's all an op

Imagine it's 1850 and you've just been flattened by an elite cavalry officer who just yells "SOWWY" as he thunders away.
![Screenshot of a tweet:
British cavalry in the 1850s consisted entirely of twinks who used UwU-speak...
[Photo of a book page] "The dash of British cavalry officers was never greater than at the opening of the Crimean campaign in the spring of 1854. These aristocratic horsemen were, in the idiom of the day, "plungers," "tremendous swells." They affected elegant boredom, yawned a great deal, spoke a jargon of their own, pronouncing "r" as "w," saying "vewwy," "howwid," and "sowwy," and interlarded sentences with loud and meaningless exclamations of "Haw, haw." Their sweeping whiskers, languid voices, tiny waists, laced in by corsets, and their large cigars were irresistible, frantically admired, and as frantically envied. Magnificently mounted, horses were their passion; they rode like the devil himself, and their confidence in their ability to defeat any enemy single-handed was com-plete. Cavalry officers were saying in London drawing-rooms that to take infantry on the campaign was superfluous; the infantry would merely be a drag on them, and had better be left at
