@Ask_Spectrum kudos for alerting us that there was a problem minutes after the outage started. Big improvement. Now what will it take to stop having major outages for hours on end in back-to-back weeks? No DM requests please.

@jvickers0331 @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen All any of your sources do this does is establish antidotes people have regrets (and Answers and Angel are non-objective sources). Not denying some regret (about 1%, according to studies). But weighted against a 40% suicide attempt rate, you do the math. Still need a study.

@NateMWilkinson @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen nypost.com/2022/06/18/det…

The passage of LB574 was a historic day for the state of Nebraska. The legislation sent a message that Nebraska will stand up and protect our kids so that they can have a better and brighter future. Together, we can create a culture that embraces life and love.

@jvickers0331 @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen That is disingenuous. I'd guess you are aware of that. Studying changes in a population when introducing a new factor is a common type of study. While a control group would be preferred in some scenarios this can still provide valuable and scientifically accurate information.

@NateMWilkinson @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen This is the equivalent as someone finding 50 people who like rock music and asking them what type of music sounds the best after playing 4 rock songs. They would all agree one of the rock songs and say rock music due to the lack of any type of a control or change. It was set up.

@jvickers0331 @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen This is a within subjects survey (scribbr.com/methodology/wi…) where subjects are monitored during a process to observe changes. It doesn't not necessarily require a control group. It is a common type of study. Still waiting for any research supporting your claims.

@NateMWilkinson @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen This study is highly flawed. Any study conducted of the sort you need a control group, which was not used in this study meaning it is only going to show the outcome which they desire which would link to them being correct vs having any sort of anomoly. Scientifically inaccurate.

@jvickers0331 @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen I'd be interested to review your study because it runs counter to what the American Academy of Pediatrics has shown. eurekalert.org/news-releases/…

@NateMWilkinson @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen Suicide is actually Higher amoung those that begin transition because they do not feel the way that they are told they would. Although they feel more accepted due to the culture, they feel less normal and more alone because it's a fantasy not a reality.

@KentSmi43207342 @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen I'm not sure if you seriously believe that the first step in the process is lopping off body parts or if you are throwing out poor/misleading arguments. But let's be clear, no one gets to this point without significant counselling first.

@NateMWilkinson @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen So what you’re stating this is a mental health problem. Then shouldn’t this be tackled from a “mental” health standpoint first before “physical” remedies are started?

@PAHPress @Ask_Spectrum Sorry on the PTO. Instead of working I spent the afternoon in the hammock. Maybe we need more outages.

@Ask_Spectrum clearly there is an internet outage in Lincoln NE and the surrounding area. Instead of replying to people to get their account info, tweet that there is an outage under investigation and update your outage tool on your website. This would be far more helpful.

@Ask_Spectrum 2 replies to my tweet saying that you should stop asking for DMs that ask for my DM. Bots gotta bot? Maybe we'll get 3...

@NateMWilkinson If you would like assistance, please DM the account number and address. ^CT

@Ask_Spectrum @roljamas My suspicion is that you'll have fewer customers waiting to be helped if the internet outages keep happening for hours on end.

@roljamas If the issue was affecting that big of a city we would have hundreds of customers waiting to be helped. There is definitely a possibility of your area being affected but we would not be able to know for sure until we look at your account. ^TZ

@DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen Because suicide rate amongst LGBTQ+ youth is scary, the first treatments are reversible, few regret their decision as adults, is supposed by pediatricians, keeps government out of the decisions of parents, and is the loving thing to do.

@TeamPillen Honest question to those against the bill: why the virulent anger for a bill that stops minors from making permanent, lifelong decisions they may later regret? Is there a reason why these folks can't wait until they're adults to make irreversible changes to their bodies?

Poor, automated, bot-driven customer service really irritates me. I'm curious, which companies in 2023, still go above and beyond? Who has provided you exceptional customer service? #CustomerServiceMatters

@Ask_Spectrum LOL

@NateMWilkinson My apologies for the service issue you’re experiencing. Please DM your name, your service phone number, full service address or account number and I would be happy to look into this for you. ^ET

@feelaokay @Ask_Spectrum Yes there are. I have no internet. Many reports on down detector around the Lincoln area.

I use this Simpsons quote more than any other. Any time anyone says they'll do something in a minute (or mentions taking a plane), I automatically say this. I can't help myself. What Simpsons quote do you feel compelled to reply with the most?

What a day for our newly-constituted league. A #CCU salute to our @SunBelt colleagues on 3 HUGE wins @marshallu over @NotreDame @appstate over @TAMU @GeorgiaSouthern over @Huskers

@azuresupport #azTechHelp Azure Sql Server database performance went bad between Sat morning and Sat night (no changes). Query performance now seems random. Scaling the database (15GB; usually ~10 minutes) almost 2 hours and only 28% done. What is happening?

Sometimes, JavaScript makes me want to flip my table and say, "screw this shit!" But I can never be sure what 'this' refers to 😅
