Wow, I’m shocked…

Proof? Not that I’m saying you’re wrong, I’m just not familiar with this lady at all so would like to know more.

what does this sentence even mean

It’s horrendous. Can’t even explain how bad it is now.

I couldn’t get my head round this at all. Everyone used Skype where I worked, and it seemed hugely popular. By the time COVID happened, I was in another job, and all of a sudden everyone was going mad about this Zoom program. I’d never heard of it, but it just came out of nowhere and everyone on the planet was using it. How on earth Skype fumbled it so hard is absolutely staggering.

MSN Messenger was brilliant. At the time I used it, everyone I knew used it. It was the go-to for communication.

When I started at my workplace a few years back, I had to login to lotus notes to obtain some sort of ID code. I’d never heard or seen the software before, but after opening it, I let out an audible “what the fuck is this shit”. Luckily they got rid of it completely a couple of years ago.

We have too. I absolutely hate it.

Our work uses outlook for web and it’s utter garbage. So much stuff you just can’t do.

Also, when you use the built in windows search to search for an installed program, except it doesn’t find it, but gives you web results instead. Microsoft needs to take a seriously massive step back and realise how much they’ve fucked up this basic stuff.

I’d rather they remove all the new shit like “Settings” and just keep all the stuff they’ve had for god knows how many years. Control Panel ftw.

We were all kids once. You know as well as anyone that kids bullshit their parents all the time. Just because your kid might tell you where they’re going, doesn’t mean that’s where they’re going.

In 2008, I was lying in bed watching some of the US presidential election on TV. I had no real interest in politics and am not from the US, but it was just something to put on while I fell asleep.

I dozed off then woke up in the middle of the night, and I vividly remember hearing these words come from the TV: “John McCain is the next President of the United States.” There was a picture of him on the TV and I think there were some results underneath which showed the votes. Not really caring either way, I turned the TV off and went back to sleep.

When I woke up the next day and went to college, I was absolutely fucking shocked when people were talking about Obama winning. I checked several news sites and they all confirmed Obama had won.

It genuinely feels like I slipped into some alternate reality or some shit because I can remember that line so strongly, and I’m absolutely certain that what I saw on the TV was that John McCain had won.

Could be down to me waking up and possibly being half asleep, but it felt more real than that. It’s so weird.

Yep. Was on reddit since like 2012 or 2013. Site was so different and a lot better back then. You subbed to a specific sub, you saw the shit you wanted to see. Now everything is completely overrun with politics and they’re banning people for absolutely no reason.

Haha, unreal. Not American so I didn’t realise how bad the customer service was. To be fair, the chatbot crap has taken over in the UK too and you often have to request to talk to a real person. My partner always just phones the companies directly and mostly gets her issues sorted out that way.

This should be the standard lol. Who you dealing with, the mafia?

America is fucking garbage. Shut the fuck up.

Will check it out, thanks.

What’s the alternative for Android? Fuck Chrome I want to move off this shit onto something that actually gives half a shit about me.
