That’s one of the ways you can enjoy yourself. There are others but calling them ‘better’ than that is just ignorant.

I’m starting to doubt there’s repeat attendees. I think these would be locals who’ve not had an opportunity till now.

You need to watch black adder

I do a fair bit of freelance and also access a lot of client networks remotely or using their hardware. I have my own licence for ms365 as well on my own hardware.

Teams just doesn’t know what the fuck it’s doing. It holds on to old accounts from years ago but doesn’t recall my own, active account. It behaves in the app sometimes but a lot of the time the browser option is the only viable way. It can’t work out that I have a webcam most of the time.

Almost all meetings I have begin with me being 2-3 minutes late and messaging them that teams is being a fuck. And they all laugh knowingly, because everyone literally expects it.

It is the buggiest most unpredictable piece of shit that I have to use almost daily, and almost exclusively with government clients who often have their own weird on prem custom version. I hate it with every atom in my body.

50% paper 🤣 I understand this. My body is a desert.

I’ve never seen it. Was it any good?

This was great, thanks for posting!

Oh that’s handy!

Are you likely to have enough newspapers to keep up with demand?

I binged it all a few years ago. Yeah… Never need to watch it again. It really overstays its welcome. So repetitive.

Uh yeah… Some did say things to that effect.

And there are other behaviours that can demonstrate that mindset.

But thank you for mansplaining my lived experience, champ. Couldn’t have navigated that one with my pea sized, woman’s brain.

I go through life making snap judgements of people I hire and don’t at all try to find common ground or empathise with their position, because I love pissing money up the wall and endless recruitment processes. Just floats my boat, you know

Used to work in digital design. By pure happenstance the foundational initial team on a major project was all women and we recognised that wasn’t a good balance in terms of external perception but also in terms of getting different perspectives on design approaches.

We managed to recruit some great blokes, but they were hard to find. So many of the new dudes didn’t work out because it was so obvious how inferior they perceived us women to be. Very few of them had the skills to warrant any level of arrogance, let alone full blown superiority complex.

It was disappointing.

In the, admittedly terrible, movie Moonfall (2022) they use his tech and one of the main characters keeps saying things like “God I love Elon”. I guess it was under development in years previous but we long knew that he was a babyish edgelord (see behaviour over the rescue of the Thai soccer team in 2018).

Seems shortsighted to make him such a focus.

I’m the same. Like I like plane food. Because, whatever man, someone brought me a little parcel of food to eat. I’m stoked.

I don’t have a broad Australian accent if that helps. Think Cate Blanchett or Margot Robbie, not Steve Irwin.

People usually assume I’m a bloke based on the way I write, but I’m just Australian.

I would ask my mum what a word meant and she’d ask me the context I’d read/heard it in, and then ask me what I thought it meant. She taught me to break the word up into syllables to see if there were other words I did know the definition of that shared those syllables and whether I could work it out from there.

If I couldn’t then I had to look it up in the dictionary - we had a big, heavy Collins one from memory. Big blue hardback.

I remember being annoyed and just whining that she should just tell me the definition. But it was clearly better for me to learn that way.

Edit: I just re read and you said bad words. Mum would usually give me a clipped, child friendly definition and advice not to repeat it in polite company.

When the videos you rented were always fuzzy at the sex and nudity scenes

I mean, yes. But fbk messenger is the quickest and safest way for me to get some local random to come pick up a bird bath I don’t want.
