we've all been there - somebody says something is bad and you want to tell them to turn their monitor on. or they're having computer problems and you almost ask them if they've tried the age old solution of loving and cumming in their computer, but you remember the work chat is not YOSPOS, so you sadly have to restrain yourself.

my one colleague literally uses the same avatar on SA and work slack. yes, I’m sure it’s the same person. no, I will in no way acknowledge that I am a goon and know that.

I recall reading that deleting the app and reinstalling it will fix that. It's gone on mine since I changed phones, at any rate. But yeah, I definitely remember the strange effect of scrolling down the list increasing a multiplier for how many times each one appeared.

i have just ordered a gaudy gilded frame in which i plan to put the "computers must shut the gently caress up" meme image and put on my office wall. i work in ai (well, theoretical cs, but i am not stupid enough to leave money on the table), and it might be a career mistake, but i just keep agreeing with the sentiment more and more.
