“I’m terribly sorry, old chap, but I don’t understand your language, so I don’t understand what you are shouting at me or why. But I do understand that a red light means ‘stop’ and a green light means ‘go’ and that you ran a red light and nearly hit me off my bike. Cheerio!”

Does anybody have an example of a tech sales company that's really annoying if you just give them your email once, in an online form?

I'd like to start siccing some of these goofballs on each other - e.g. you send me repeated unasked for solicitations, I add your email to somebody else's cold sales call list....

Was für eine Shitshow ist den GUI Ubuntu geworden? Dialog-Meldung: "Ein Problem wurde festgestellt." Sonst nix. Klickt man drauf wird die gesamte Session abgeschossen. Mit Abbrechen oder die Meldung ignorieren hat man eine voll funktionale Session ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #venting #rant

Seems like #venting and pretty #clueless all the way round, since the only real tool we have is #impeachment, and no one in this survey, let alone #NYT editorial writers, will even mention it. Looking in vain for any coverage about yesterday's disgraceful episode involving #AOC and #Raskin bullying #Thanedar nytimes.com/interactive/2025/0

Welcher Sadist hat sich bitte Kettenblattschrauben ausgedacht?

Existiert auf diesem Planeten wenigstens ein einziges Tool, das theoretisch in der Lage wäre, die Gegengewinde festzuhalten?
6nm Gegendruck ist jetzt auch nicht "nichts".

Ich dachte ja Kfz-Verkehr treibt meinen Blutdruck in die Höhe, aber mir war nicht klar, welches Potential schlechte Werkstoffe/Tools tragen xD

Good evening to everyone except this one dude on my route today, who, instead of putting away his two aggressive ankle biter dogs inside when I approached with mail, stood there and stared at me while the dogs tried to bite me three different times. You suck and I hope something terribly inconvenient happens to you.

I live a half hour from the eye doctor and when I got here they said they’re 45 minutes behind schedule and asked if I’d like to reschedule. I wish they would’ve called me before I left. I could’ve brought my laptop and headphones. Now what am I going to do? #venting

Another one of my community’s Language Keepers started their Spirit Journey this evening. I haven’t been able to go back to the land- fully back home- yet, it’s a small fly-in reservation and is extortionately insurmountable with my current financial situation and so I never got to meet them in person, however, the amount of love and care and compassion I’ve been met with from this individual is unspeakable. #venting #vent #indigenous

Okay, this is just stupid! One of the benefits of having a #website is that people can access your services at any time, day or night, right? Well, I just went to the #SocialSecurity website to try and get a benefit verification letter, which I need because I'm trying to reestablish a #VocationalRehabilitation case. I clicked "Sign In" and was greeted by this message:

This service is not available at this time.

This of the website limitation is especially frustrating for me because I have a #Non24HourSleepWakeDisorder and an unpredictable schedule. It feels like the website is designed without thinking about people like me who need flexibility.
Has anyone else out there had similar issues with government services or other websites?
