The all-new shiny cockpunch thread (Part 2)

If you’re interested in listening to a nuanced discussion of the topic, the News Agents did a good piece on it here:

It’s worse, as it’s devaluing the currency, and feeding right-wing hate. I fucking hate the term ‘antisemitism’, but if people will insist on continuing to use it, then its value is eroded by overuse.

Still, Israel itself needs all the smokescreening possible to distract from its ongoing genocide in Gaza…

^ This shit is why Maccabi fans were not made welcome - as much for their own safety as anything.

WMP handled it badly, heads will roll, story ends.

The people who are supposed to filter junk out of MS Outlook.

OK, I realise Outlook is ‘free’. And I’m sure it’s busy too. But if you’re going to offer a service then at least make it so it succeeds at the most basic things.

The junk filter’s missed a few over the last couple of weeks which, broadly speaking, look like today’s. It appears to come from ‘M!CROSOFT’ - yup, all caps and mis-spelt. If I hover over that I can see (so you can too, MS) that it actually comes from uppdatebfbhbd@aol.com. So they’re pretending to be you, but they aren’t you. Can you see any red lights flashing ?

The subject is IMPORTANT NOTICE!! Double exclamation marks in the title. Need I say more ? OK, I will. The message text starts ‘0UTL00K Mail Hello, Our records show …’

You’d think that if a junk filter can’t spot this then surely it can’t spot anything. But it does spot some stuff - mostly mail sent to multiple recipients. Some of that is spam (i.e. indiscriminate and unwanted) but some isn’t. I can see how making the right call there could be challenging. But stuff purporting to come from MS yet actually coming from somewhere else must be nearly impossible to get wrong, no ?

Cockpunch to duties at work for making me ‘staff up’, gammons protesting immigrants and myself for changing career.

Just worked 68.5hrs in 6 days with 3 days off (the first of which I was working until 7am so is mostly spent asleep) then this set of shifts I am now working 73 hours over 7 days with more staffing up and was only given 24 hours notice of the extra long shifts.

How they expect me to function on the last night shifts is beyond me. Moaned to duties and their response was, I get more staffing up as my surname puts me at the top of the list… how on earth that justifies it is beyond me.

Same at my old place. I was always given a worse rub of the green than my colleagues further down the roster.
It was fine until Anderson got married and became a Jackson.

Hope you’ve not made the career-gaffe of actually being good at what you do?

Or wrong Lodge maybe?

Or maybe the last bloke left who’s not on a register of some sort?

UPS - fucking twats.

Dell are trying to deliver my desktop and extra monitor and UPS have done their very best to 1. Fail to try to find us; 2. Try to deliver to one of their own Access Points 3 days running and apparently fail to drop off each time.

Fuck me they’re imbeciles :man_facepalming:

Scout fits inside the box on right and hid while we walked Saffy and Redford past - they shit themselves when the box started growling :rofl:

I wish she had looked at the monitor arm instructions for me - sagging pile of crap.
