Helped a staff member where I work with this, was not fun.
- She speaks very little English
- Phone is set to display everything in Spanish
- She’s also very old, so phone is set to display everything in 72pt font
- Does not remember her password for ANYTHING, not even one we set together and wrote down to keep in her purse
- Personal email is Hotmail
- Recovery email on the Hotmail account belonged to her husband who died a decade ago
- Recovery phone number on the Hotmail account is her old phone number, no one has access to it
- Hotmail account recovery wants me to provide the subject line and send dates from three emails… There is zero chance of this
Went back and forth with Microsoft for days before we got her back in.
- Comment on Australia investigating Carnival luxury cruise line following allegations workers live in overcrowded conditions with no water, earning as little as $2.50 an hour. 1 week ago:
Anecdotally, it’s mostly boomers, but there’s a handful of 20’s-30’s too. I went on my first and only cruise, a Carnival, with five friends circa 2016. We split two rooms and a drink package. The casinos were packed with the eldest, and the younger folks just double-fisted mixed drinks all day (our plan). Saw at least a few get carted off the pool deck in wheelchairs. The food was legitimately great, never seen such excess before or since. Everything else was meh, including the stops in the Bahamas (though that was mostly due to the weather being terrible).
4/10 experience at best and the value we managed to get probably hasn’t existed for years now.

This post negates every single one of all those other posts that say “don’t worry, nobody ever remembers that one really embarrassing thing you did back in school.”

Triggered the same memory for me, though I couldn’t remember the title. Just reserved a copy of the audiobook on Libby. Thanks!

There’s a lot more visual emphasis on the “SHIT” here, so I think you’re right.

This is the true story, according to me Kicki Karlén about when I’ve first came across all the skeletons in the Church … writing erotic short stories and other stories, focus on what I think of the local politicians and the township.
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 1 month ago:
Pssh, only if you aren’t turning all your hobbies into side-hustles.
What are you afraid of, besides completely burning out and probably still losing money anyway?

Fast forward 100 years, and we’ll be working on anti-ad glasses that counteract the Meta glasses that counteract the anti-ad glasses that counteract the Elon eye implants. 😔
- Comment on Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing video 2 months ago:
If it’s not “baked in” to the video, then it seems like it should be trivial to detect and block the ad… Ugh, or else it’s literally new technological horrors beyond my comprehension, which is also very possible.
- Comment on Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing video 2 months ago:
Not when the only metric considered is ROI.

- Comment on Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’ 2 months ago:
Hockey sticks moving the puck resemble brooms sweeping, so we could call it “Brooms,” which leaves us with either NBA or MLB.

I do more proofreading of my one-word text messages than this whole news article got, lol.
They also left out “in” before “Newark,” which would have helped a lot. And then they call him “Book” in the photo caption.

- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 3 months ago:
I was just talking to someone at a party about what games we’d been playing, and we also had to fully stop and think a while to remember the actual name of the Bethesda Space Game™.

- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 4 months ago:
I had a girl cancel and reschedule our first date shortly before we were supposed to meet up. That date happened, and she confided in me that she’d done that on purpose to gauge my reaction and general demeanor before actually coming out to meet me. I respected that move, and I think I would have been okay with her bringing a friend instead, as long as it was just the once.
Anyway, that was eight years ago, we’re married now.

No, no, this is the Magic Omnibus (2nd Cousin of the Magic Schoolbus), and you are both fortunate and unfortunate enough to be witnessing its last days.
