Random Rants LXXII - What is wrong with us?

[Noble Zarkon]

People actually do that? What an odd thing to get paid for.

There is a whole industry building up around this, it's a very important part of public relations for many companies - monitoring online for sentiment regarding the company and responding to issues.

 

[Kyriakos]

It's the shortest German word ever.
VAR.

var-var-var

And in original greek the term "barbaros" is pronounced thus. (varvaros) Makes sense it would be german

I have a big project to do today but I don't wanna.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Can you break it down into smaller projects?

 

[Takhisis]

Apparently it's videobeweis, so the abbreviation would be shorter (VB), as with all things German.

Valka, would you like anybody here to take any screenies of the above?

 

[Arakhor]

It's just an ad-bot, so if you're going to take any screenshots, you should do it sooner rather than later.

If you wouldn't mind, Takhisis, I'd appreciate it. My computer is determined to be an <unmentionable> about cooperating.

Thanks.

There's another one in the Amazon Hiring thread, which is how there's a postcount of 2 on the account.

Mother[lover] put mayo on my Italian sub. That [stuff]'ll get you stabbed in some neighborhoods.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

I just ordered breakfast takeout. I specified strawberry jam for the toast. What I got was an assortment of pancake syrup, peanut butter, and honey-mustard.

Who puts ANY of that on toast???

A quick chat with customer service got me a credit of $5.25 on my next order.

 

[Traitorfish]

Peanutbutter works on toast. The other two, I share your bafflement. All three together; one must imagine that Heaven itself weeps for the fallen state of man.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Well, thankfully they weren't all in the same container. I'll see if the housekeeper who comes next week can use them, or just include them in my next food bank donation. Someone must be able to use it, just not me.

My dumbass nephew was in the Air Force a month ago. They offered to make his previous misconduct charges disappear if he would reenlist. No deal. So he gets out, no plan, saved no money over 6 years. Wants to bum around Europe for a year, but has no money. Didn't get enrolled in college, because can't be bothered. Fights with his mom and stepfather, gets thrown out of house. So no money, no job, no college, no home, he's broke to the point of borrowing money from his grandmother to fix a flat tire on his car.

And he's a Trumpeista.

There's a type of savoury sandwich that doesn't go well with mayonnaise?

 

[Cutlass]

Isn't "doesn't go well with mayonnaise" the definition of food?

 

[Takhisis]

You take that back.

 

[Cutlass]

I got food poisoning once, and mayo took the blame for it. Lost my taste for it since then.

If he's a good liar, he can go into politics.
If he's fleet of foot, he can be a purse snatcher.
If he's charismatic, there's tel-evangelism.

 

[Arakhor]

If he's also lazy and stupid, that only leaves open the first option.
