Risky joke - could get a laugh, could get you a meeting with HR without biscuits. It’s worth a punt though if you know your audience!

If you make the joke a bit more explicit it tends to get a few more laughs, like “this one goes out to the tireless administrators, creative engineers, fantastic embeds… and Paul”.

Only pull those stunts if you’re happy to get the piss taken out of you in return though, else you’ll look like a right tosser.

An old boss of mine started most group conversations with “right then you cunts…” and it was set the tone straight away. No bullshit, no egos, and no dragging on the conversation. Top fella actually, one of the best leaders I’ve had. We were his cunts, and he was our better-paid cunt.

We had another bloke who was a proper cockney boy. If you were in his good books, you were a “geezer”, and if you’d ruined his day then you were a “slaaaaag”.

I’m guilty of addressing my squad from my very junior managerial position as “alright my dudes”, which on the surface of it sounds very male-leaning, but I think since the 90s “dude” has become as gender-neutral as they come.

That, or you could go full Karl Jobst and kick off with “hello you absolute legends …”

I suppose the TV licence in the UK is a sort of paywall, even if it is made of swiss cheese and enforced by folk with all the legal standing of Larry the Head Mouser or whatever moggy it is now.

I pay it, but I’m loathed to now. Not because I watch any live TV or BBC programming, but because I use the BBC News site a metric fucktonne and I suppose I justify it to myself as funding the BBC News department rather than Graham Norton’s salary.

Maybe I’ll fuck it off though. I do fancy a letter war with Capita or whoever managed the enforcement these days.

“why can’t we get a mortgage?”

“Well I bought a hot dog on a payment plan for a laugh, and I defaulted on a 38 cent payment”

“oh no”

Brooks be spinning in his grave so fast, you could wire him up to a dynamo and power a small African country

I hear you, the issue for me is that a third of your country people voted for the cunt, another third didn’t care enough not to vote against the cunt, which leaves a large majority of Americans complicit in this - enough in my view to effectively use the term as a blanket reference to most people in the country.

Speaking on a more granular level, I wish you well and the best of luck - but the majority of your population can go fuck themselves.

I’m guessing you’ve got a study that backs that assertion up as well?

Thank you for your public service announcement!

I know this a gross oversimplification, but:

“Remote working benefit those with a reason to stay home, but doesn’t for those who don’t have a reason to stay home” seems to be the general idea of the headline.

edit: I think this is the study they’re talking about, please double check the source before quoting: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36718392/

My other half’s mam fuckin’ loves Candy Crush, plays it most (if not every) night, maybe clears a level or two.

What really makes me smile is that whenever she drops a bollock and effectively renders a grid unwinnable, she’ll take the L and come back tomorrow. Fuck the MTX and fuck the extra time/re-rolls/level skips; she just goes back the following day and tries again.

Mad respect, if nothing else than to be the marginal player base that fucks with the “line goes up” metric.

ain’t no harm skibidi ohio guy, don’t got time fo the low-rizz crowd, no cap

If I could have crowbarred “moist” in there somewhere too, I’d have set the lexical tiktok on fire.

…if there is even one, don’t come at me TNETENNBA fans!

Yeah it’s a shame that Musk is so inextricably linked with the brand. I’m quite sure SpaceX and Tesla are full of top tier talent and engineering wizards… but have a direct link to a toxic cockwomble that bankrolls them. Shame.

I haven’t, no - and you’re probably right, yes.

I worry that if I start playing KSP then my other half and kids won’t see me again for six months because it does sound fucking awesome and highly rewarding.

Nope, I’m a simple man. I play through a couple of Doom WADs each summer in the academic off-season and that’s my gaming appetite satiated.

I’m surprised I strung so many together coherently to be honest!

Speaking as a layman, I just think it’s fuckin’ awesome how a big chonky boi can be propelled upwards at Mach Yeet and get casually dropped off in orbit.

Even though Musk is a cunt, I still love watching SpaceX streams to see big bits of metal get put upwards by lots of fire and noise, and then fuckin’ land where they started seven or eight minutes later.

Science is fuckin mint, man.

Teaching my dog the “kiss” command has been one of the best things ever.

Even when he’s turbo excited to see me, a quick “sit” followed by a “kiss” gets him pointing his nose in the air so I can kiss it.

He’s a good boy.

“so is it clearer with lens one…”

“…or with lens two?”
