At the time, I worked nights in a tech call center. There were generally three guys working the shift but it wasn’t the same people every shift, it was a small but rotating cast. There was also a supervisor but they spent the majority of their time in a private office halfway across the building from us.
One of the three guys who was there most nights would mostly ignore calls and would do a pretty poor job with them when he did answer. Instead of working, he’d spend the whole night browsing HotOrNot, occasionally vocalizing his opinion on some pictures.
Since there were only three people on the shift and it was in a call center built for a hundred or more, we were permitted to sit at any desk (they had roaming profiles). Only one member of the night shift ever sat close to the guy I described more than once. Besides being personally unpleasant, he was a heavy smoker and thus olfactorily offensive as well.
The HotOrNot guy was there when I got there and I’m pretty sure there when I left. No idea how he kept his job.
7·5 days agoWeird, right?
4·11 days agoI know this is an old trope, but I always liked one bash.org quote that uses it well:
Person 1: Did you know if you play the Windows install disk backwards, it plays Satanic messages?
Person 2: That’s nothing; if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.
I once won a round of Cards Against Humanity by playing the word “smegma” and explaining what it meant to my opponents.
Did you know that the writers of Red Dwarf weren’t referencing that? Also, I haven’t checked, but I have reason to believe the fridge manufacturers weren’t either.
For a more normal picture of her … Sort of:
I use
define:. Yesterday a friend asked me whether “stably” had an “e” in it and this was very helpful in answering.edit: My edit wasn’t relevant and my client confused me. Apologies to you.
I’ve always loved the Unix wizard poster.

For what it’s worth, this also works well if you want to lie to yourself about how much weight you’ve gained.
That’s probably not the healthiest approach, though.
As an alternative, I once was wearing a no name brand one of these at work and it simply broke. I spent the rest of the day with an extension cord tied around my waist. It was also adjustable and, as a bonus, all of my customers of the day got a kick out of it.
My life so far with my wife is for sure something I would describe as winning.
I didn’t know Homer was on lemmy. That’s pretty awesome actually.
I’ve a '79 Corvette. The first night I met my wife, I took her for a ride in it to the local Waffle House.
I guess it worked; she married me eight years later.
edit: I messed up my math. It was ten years later. Don’t tell her I said this, okay, guys?
All I know is that they smelled good.
I thought Pinky was a rat, but apparently he’s a mouse. In either case, not a mole rat.
Also, wow, there’s so much more information than I anticipated in that article.
Did you know that Death in Supernatural also played a role in the Cube series?
It always amuses me when I belch and Google Meet pops up a notification saying “are you talking? Your microphone is on mute.”
Once I was on an all day meeting with a compatriot and having, shall we say, a bad stomach day. I forgot we were on a call and for some reason - though I almost never am - I was unmuted. Having forgotten these facts and thus with no restraint, I let out a series of the most vile, expressive noises I’ve ever heard from my body … Only, to my horror, to hear “niiiiiiice.”
