I used to run a tech support/teaching group for silver surfers to this day I still wake up to texts like this sent at stupid o clock in the morning. I have stories. In fact during lockdown we had to keep hiding from this guy as he would turn up to the house asking me to do poo poo for him like, dude, why are you switching phone company now??? No! You can’t come in!. Anyway his finest moment was when I saw him put a router on my black bin (trash can) spray it with disinfectant and then call me going “can you set this up for me duc, it won’t work” (it wasn’t his activation date yet)

Silly Newbie posted:Epcot is the coolest adult theme park on the planet, but yeah Disney People are loving weird. Yeah Disney World is genuinely fun as an adult, and I'd love to go without kids. If I was rich I'd 100% take my partner and some friends and have a blast. Kill the lines with headphones on and no kids to bother you, get daydrunk if you want, gorge yourself on expensive garbage food and then hit up a genuinely good restaurant at the end of the day. Unfortunately it's so expensive you could literally go overseas for the cost.

My partner and I did this a few years ago and it was fun and we will go again (haters suck it), but we made the mistake of going near Christmas and gently caress ever doing that again in those crowds. Holiday magic didn't make up for the mass of bodies. Unfortunately I'm a teacher so when I can go is right in line with when all the kiddies can go, so we're just going to have to be smarter in our planning. That means waiting at least until the novelty has worn off of the new Star Wars park anyway.

I had to look up who Right Said Fred is. They wrote the song “I’m Too Sexy” in 1992. For me it’s one of those songs you know but could never remember who wrote it. The song was a massive hit but they are totally a one hit wonder group so how they’re still even remotely relevant is beyond me.

The last time they were anything close to relevant was either when VH1 made I Love The 90s or when Conan was on SNL and played Right Said Fred (which I think was two people?) at the Napster hearings, despite the committee noting that absolutely nobody had illegally downloaded "I'm Too Sexy" because he's not too sexy to beg for food.

They're British. Every one-hit-wonder U.K. musical act you can think of since the eighties has a weirdly long tail that ends in performing a charity single for Comic Relief. Some of them just haven't gotten to Comic Relief yet.

OH that's what I remember the name from. For anyone who doesn't watch/listen to their youtube podcast with slides Well There's Your Problem is great if anyone likes the OSHA thread, and one of their patreon eps is Groverhouse.

Carry on I completely agree with this. It's a prefix from one of the languages English is descended from, it's fun to giggle at sometimes but it's not appropriation to use a word stem with so many other meanings/uses and anyone who tells you otherwise is being abusrd.

Which is A Story because when I spoke to them they said he’d repeatedly got tobacco bits in the port from his pocket and had been smashing the cable in and they just cleaned it out.

Not necessary, no. There was a conversation about the use of the word "trans", and just reminded me of a bunch of US automotive videos that still sound like they are from the '30s with their liberal use of the word "tranny", especially if there's a Confederate flag hanging in the garage/set.
