I think when Microsoft bought LinkedIn they sold a keyboard or something with a dedicated LinkedIn key, and they had to do some shortcut fuckery to make it work?

That's vaguely right, but I can't be arsed to look it up

Yeah, it's part of the office suite hotkeys, which no human has ever used

ctrl+alt+shift+win+
O -> Outlook
N -> oneNote
P -> Powerpoint
X -> eXcel
W -> Word
L -> LinkedIn

I wanna hear more stories about how goons' email addresses are formatted. Does anyone use periods or other special characters? What about goons who have a common name or were the first to get a common word as an email address? Does that ever come with any whacky hijinks with unexpected emails? What hosting providers do y'all use? :kiddo:

Ok.

I got an offer for $500 from someone from Canada with the same name as me to buy firstnamelastname.com from me. I declined. It's occurred to me that it would have been funny to be like "no, but you can be canada@firstnamelastname.com and I'll be australia@firstnamelastname.com".

Also, following a chain of emails to and from someone with your exact name is very confusing.

yeah so those keyboards had an "office" key but it was just mapped to ctrl+shift+alt+win so you could press office + W to start Word.

and microsoft being microsoft they never bothered removing the shortcuts.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

would it be legal to vandalize these? At least the little placard ones that are pretty much disposable garbage anyway

I was wondering the same, but I can't find a clear answer, especially for (1) non-election signs that are (2) on public property. My guess would be that it would be a misdemeanor (since you're defacing private property), although the person who placed the sign could potentially have committed a misdemeanor or greater in placing the sign if it's on public property (you can't just place a sign by the highway in most states, as far as I know).
