This was way back but had a basic support call for someone who couldn't get their mouse to work.

After speaking with them for over ten minutes and just being generally confused I cut to the chase and asked, "Ma'am, what are you doing with your mouse right now?"

The answer? She was moving the mouse around on the monitor.

I'd love to see more funny video communities. (Bad drivers, epic fails, etc) I know it's basic, apologies. Sometimes I just need to laugh.

And that's what people don't understand. Every time I warn people of the dictator just waiting to break out of Trump's fat ass, they say he's too stupid to do it.

Then I tell them it doesn't matter... that he's built a whole team of them waiting to take his place with a solid plan to do it.

I think you misunderstood the comment heheh.

The added 'a' implies that there are many plots to sneak arms onto the island. They just happened to foil this one.

The people from Uzbekistan are called Uzbeks, the people from Turkmenistan are called Turkmen, the people from Afghanistan are called Afghans.

It's only come to my attention recently that calling someone from Pakistan a 'Paki' is an insult. Should it just be 'Paks' and somehow adding an I is incorrect?

Can anyone explain this to me?

Most of hacking is done by mass effort with maybe a couple percent of people that aren't doing basic things to protect themselves being affected. That couple of percent is enough to keep the hackers flush. (So please, follow basic cybersecurity steps, people.)

The plain truth of the matter, though, is that if a hacker or group of hackers is targeting someone individually for reasons, that person is in real trouble.

This has been a PSA for everyone chasing fame and clout.

I've seen this over and over in corporate environments.

Suit A has a terrible idea but enough fawning bootlickers to get the process moving.

Worker A, an employee, knows this is a terrible idea but doesn't say anything because they wanna keep their job.

Contractor B, obv a contractor, is there to make money and hopefully turn their stint into something more, so they speak up. And get canned.

What is it about Suits that they can't listen to literally anyone but their own echo chambers? Oh yeah, they're angling to jump into a bigger echo chamber. The 1%.

It's McCarthyism all over again. God forbid someone thinks Israel is fucking up and actually says so. This kind of shit was repugnant then and it will be repugnant in the history books.

Enjoy being on the wrong side, you intellectually stunted children.
