I don't know why someone would actually ignore someone rather than just reading their posts and... not reacting. I also think a lot of the times people say they're ignoring someone, they're actually probably not.

It's worse than that, the entire notion of eating cereal for breakfast was created by marketing...it is so endemic that if you attempt to eat something not on peoples 'allow' list, they get quite upset.
You cant eat that for breakfast!
Really?
Why not?
Because I have been conditioned to assume certain norms spelt out to me by the capitalist system to assist them in profit.

I was once in a flat share with a chinese girl.
She was making porridge and offered me some.

What a horrible mistake that was!
It tasted fucking awful. It was very watery and it had some funny meat stuff in it.
:sick:

I didn't want to cause a fuss so I ate it...But I never accepted anything else ever again!

I'm seeing ALOT of stupid videos recently of stuff such as sting rays on the beach giving birth, and people intervening.

I think the worst was a sea lion pup who was hiding on a beach and a bunch of people dragged it out and put it in the water where it belongs.

Stupidity.

24 hour news.

Yes, I get it, we won a gold medal, I don't need to see the same piece of footage every 7 fucking minutes. If your showing the news all day, maybe show some other news? Like not just covering Syria for a couple of weeks and then it's non news or something.

major ISP's with fucking fucked up configurations or internal processes.

my mum's temporarily not at home, and because she's not accessing the intertubes through her own router her local email has stopped working. the massive ISP she's subbed to has set up mail things that the basic config only works when you're on their network and not remote. how they fucking manage mobile systems like portable devices is anyone's guess.

anyways, quick fix at her new place didn't work. I'm at home now and according to the pile of steaming turds that is the ISP's help site I need to make some kind of ID account so I can request her email to be fixed automatically and to do that I need to use another site to reset her email settings which....yes, you guessed it, sends her an email with the data. OR I can call the ISP's helldesk and they will send me the same data via snail mail because hell no will they fix it while I'm on the phone with them. Also, the ID thing needs her email as well. THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED AROUND THE HAPPY PATH :eek:

fucking fuuuuuuuck! *RAGE* :eek:

Just tell her to set up a Gmail account and fuck the ISP's email off.

I got my parents and my parents-in-law-sort-of onto gmail accounts - it's made a massive reduction on my IT support overheads.

Did the same with my mother - although now I get IT Support calls on how to email more than one person at once.

She is 74 bless her, although that didn't stop her treating herself to a beast of an Android phone.

My mum is going to get my Note 3 when I upgrade to the 7. I don't think she realises quite how good a phone it is. Her eyes lit up because she doesn't like the "poxy" screen on the Galaxy S2 I gave her when I upgraded last time.

Deja Vu. When I worked for a telco I was given the consumer Webmail service as one of my responsibilities. You're describing exactly how they had it set up when I joined. Had to completely redevelop the whole thing.

It really pisses me off when people who've worked their balls off all their lives in shitty jobs don't get their rewards.

Poor lad this. Deserves better.

Micro usb is the biggest pile of shite ever invented.
I finally bought on of those magnetic connectors...its superb, except you cant get a long lead...so I bought a heavy duty full size usb extension lead.
You need heavy duty so you dont get volt drop and end up taking 20 hours to charge your phone...most extended leads cant even keep up with battery drain while browsing.

I have decided to fall back on my superfiddlywire expertise past and have dissasembled a short charge lead, right down to stripping the plastic off the connectors...they are so neat..the little thing clips apart with tiny prongs to connect the wired half to the plug part, all seems a bit over engineered...anyway, soldered in a fat two core of 4m length, charges the tablet perfect...looks like shit, but does the job.

Man makes comment about Helen Skelton's short skirt - unacceptable, sexist, objectification of a woman just trying to do her job.

Man makes comment about attractive tennis player - unacceptable, sexist, creepy, objection of a woman.

Women all over the internet make comments about Gary Linker in his pants, how hot he is, how they love his muscles etc. - perfectly acceptable! gg! kthx!

Women only want to be sought after by men they choose, whereas men will welcome any female attention

So I'm down at the beach in the wifes Beetle, there's a not a quite big enough gap to our right for a car...an Indian family squeeze their Honda Jazz in, with all the windows down, shouting at each other in Hindu, the driver is just terrible, 3 goes he has, then casually crashes into my front wheel, gives me a hand up sorry, reverses and pulls his bumper strip off on the tyre.
I'm like..mate just stop, he ignores me to much shouting in the car, by this time a few people have stopped to watch.
He turns to me and says 'are you leaving?'.
I was a bit miffed at this point and said 'No, but I hope you are'.
bit aggressive, but what a tit.
He finally parks, but they can't open the doors, well they tried, and would have dented our door if I hadn't expected it and covered it with my hand which his wife smashed her door against.
She finally managed to squeeze her fat ass out, and without an apology or any shame sticks it right through my window so far I had to lean back in my seat.
The whole time shouting at each other in Hindu I guess.
The whole car park was watching by the end...Indians, they are like incompetent Italians.

I speak very excellent Hindu.

I'm like probably roughly 25% sure the people that job is referring to don't exist and the incident never happened. But you never know, the world is a crazy place and most people are idiots...
