foggy , to memes in Happy April 20th!

It’s probably not on twitters archive anymore. Back in like, idk, 2011? 2013? Kenny Powers (@KFUCKINGP) tweeted the most beautiful tweet to this sentiment.

“I smoke weed when I smoke weed, bitch. Not on some fuckin day in April.”

And since it’s likely been lost to time and poor management, I wanted to share it with you all from memory.

US stoners on 4/20: “What if we changed the date format to one that makes sense? Nah that wouldn’t work I’m just high”

hOrni ,

I always find it funny, that their favourite holiday is 4th of July, not July 4th.

foggy ,

Its our way of mocking the Brits.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

That’s actually the theory of the origin of the split, believe it or not, formal vs casual tone in writing and speech.

British papers would print the current date as Fifth of September or whatever, American papers would print it as December 18th. There’s exceptions in the record for both, obviously, but that’s the leading theory last I heard.

There’s also a bit about the British papers being more readily available so more people read it daily and the day was more important, versus American papers having a more rural audience where the month was more important and daily events not so much but I’m not sure I buy that one.

HOA’s have the authority to fine you and take your property in some jurisdictions, truly should be illegal.

FilterItOut ,

Yeah, that’s the part that always gets downplayed in these ‘homeowner revenge’ stories. HOAs can really fuck you over. Sometimes they get bankrupted in a lawsuit, sometimes you lose your sanity and your home.

RGB3x3 ,

Yep, they put liens on your property and can foreclose on your house from under you, without you even knowing. They can put it up on auction and sell it without informing you.

They should be illegal.

Does anybody have the link to the guy whose project car got booted on all four wheels, so he just put it on dollies, wheeled it into his garage, and told the boot company that they can have their boots back whenever they’d like but he’s certainly not paying them anything?

gregorum ,

Lmao, how/why did it get booted?

Revan343 ,

If I recall correctly, it was briefly parked on the street without an HOA parking pass while he reorganized his garage so that he’d have more space to work on it

The boot company ended up calling the cops on him for stealing their boots; “I didn’t steal them, they can have them back whenever they want” was enough that the cops just laughed at the situation and fucked off

There is a copy of it, the original appears no longer available

gregorum , (edited )

So, whatever happened to the guy?

Edit: full thread (via copy paste) here, including the final resolution to the story.

big_slap ,

amazing thread lmfao

gregorum ,

Yeah, it took a while to get through, but it was worth it to get to the end!

hOrni ,

Didn’t a guy once park a tank in front of his house and told HOA if that don’t like it they can move it.

Configuration issue.

Of all the places I worked at (that use that obviously) they all did that bs.

Okay, they all used a shitty configuration 🤷‍♂️.

dgriffith , to technology in How come TurboVPN can have double the amount of downloads compared to NordVPN and ExpresVPN? ++

I can’t speak for the popularity of TurboVPN, or the probable ease in which companies can manipulate download numbers, but note the “+” on the end of each number.

NordVPN could have 99,999,995 downloads, TurboVPN can have 100,000,002 downloads, but one would be 50M+ and the other would be 100M+.

Sunny OP ,

Yeah good point!

Cryan24 , to memes in Wall to Wall.

I love being triple booked and having two pm’s annoyed that I didn’t turn up… “bitch isn’t scheduling half your job? Did you not check if I was available?”

Tylerdurdon ,

You know it’s getting bad when the PMs don’t bother. They know you’re perma-fucked. The this-is-fine meme has so much meaning when you live it.

Track_Shovel OP ,

Time to find a new job

residentmarchant ,

The best part of starting a new job is that you don’t have years of built up “status checkins” that we’re never cancelled for some reason.

ObsidianNebula ,

I have a Funko Pop of the “This is Fine” dog on my desk at work because there are times where I’m really feeling that way.

ImplyingImplications ,

I’ve worked at so many places where there are multiple mid-level managers with overlapping responsibilities and staff. It just leads to conflicting orders and the people who get in trouble when things don’t get done are the workers and never the managers who issued impossible tasks.

Breathe in, exhale, adjust for prevailing wind, sight down the scope and take out the chump who is hyperventilating in clear violation of the sign.

Aurenkin , (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in B R E A T H E

I just imagine driving past this sign on the way to a vacation spot with kids screaming in the car and just realising you forgot about the broken tent pole from the last trip that you meant to replace before this one, then the fuel blinker comes on just as you spill your drink on the dash because a toy got thrown at you. You see this sign as you drive by and it triggers something inside you, like a gaping maw opening to consume the last shred of humanity you have left as you resign yourself to a fate you still can’t figure out if you chose, or was imposed upon you by the chance circumstances of your life.

That’s an endless point of debate here in Texass.

In the summer months, if you aren’t done mowing by seven in the morning, you’re gonna die of heat stroke.

MAN OUTLOOK SUCKS

hperrin ,

I swear the Outlook and Teams groups at Microsoft are competing for worst product ever. And the Windows group was like, “hold our beer.”

guycls ,

How do you feel about onedrive?

eatham ,
@eatham@aussie.zone avatar

It’s better than Windows

sandalbucket ,

Is my file in onedrive? Or on disk? Or is it in sharepoint? Or it could be in a teams chat - but isn’t that just sharepoint? I sent it to Tom also, but it was already in sharepoint because I had sent it to Jim, so it re-named it to something else. Where in sharepoint are my teams files? Or the teams files others have sent me? Is this actually an attachment on my email or is it a “shared link” in disguise?

I’m not sure what’s real anymore!

sandalbucket ,

At least outlook can right click for spellcheck. Wait, actually it can’t do that.

At least you can download your email attachments to a folder? Wait actually you can’t do that either.

At least the 15-minute meeting warnings still pop up consistently? Oh. Oh no.

“Are you sure you want to post this comment? Would you like to upload to sharepoint and send a link instead?”

No outlook I would not like that, I would never like that

Maybe something like this service. Find it a bit dishonest if you ask me, but I don’t think it affects competition that much. People will try multiple apps if they don’t find what they are looking for.

Sunny OP ,

Ah yeah, quite possible! Would have thought Google would be on top of this though, but probably not? The service in the mail does not seem to exist anymore, but was able to check them out with Wayback Machine; web.archive.org/web/…/www.appenhancer.com/

Thanks for sharing 🌻

mstrk ,

Would have thought Google would be on top of this though, but probably not?

It’s against play store ToS, but if somehow you can make it look organic enough it might be difficult to proof. In truth I don’t know how this kind of services operate. I do think Google would try to counter this as much as possible yes. And 8M reviews can’t be just from this kind of services, at some point you have real users engagement, you just need the initial visibility boost.

Good luck with your research🖖

Sunny OP ,

Thank you 🙌
