Someone I know went to college for six weeks in 1998, quit, and never went back.
They eventually found there way into starting a small business that has nothing to do with what they studied, and in which they've been really successful and made a name for themselves from.
They still refer to that six weeks of college by saying "when I was in college..." "bet you didn't know I went to school to study [field]...." And they still list that school in the present tense on FB, aka "Studies [field] at [school] - 1998.
Why? Who cares? They seem to love that people will assume they either went for most of what you'd expect them to have gone for and just didn't finish, or that they graduated. They've been so successful that their business is well known and and they have every reason to be proud of, so why this apparent need to talk about the college they barely even went to?

I don't know what to call them but these fucking MAGA Karens.
Butchy, too much makeup, loud, dumb, obnoxious, shrieking, anti-vaxx, Jesus loving, racist conspiracy spewing lunatics.
24/7 PMS. Is this what former white-trash strippers grow up to be?

The lady I bought two half-liter bottles of kombucha from, at a random store, who when was charging me asked me if I wanted to open them, and while I was telling her "no, they're for takeaway" proceeded to uncork both of them.
- Yeah, lady, I will chug this liter of kombucha straight away and then shart my way homemaquito
- I would like to think that I would have left them on the counter and walked away.palimpsest
- She tried to put the caps back, and repeated "they close, they close" (chinese lady). I gave one back.maquito

Yeah, these guys are probably terrible but what's worse are the people who will say "I'm Team Bonaparte." or "I'm Team Mornington."

Speaking of Instagram. The Meta cunts now show your username to people you share a link/ Reel with. And there's no option to switch it off to remain anonymous if you want to.
It shows "..._username_ shared this link with you"

Probably me, but moreso - Amazon Prime. Firstly: I need to cancel my subscription, which I just set up prior to xmas to get three months free Prime so I could last-minute order presents for Ze Child. It's April now - I've paid for a month. D'oh.
Now, for the Punches for:
What exactly IS the TV bit of Prime? My kid's gotten into Tom and Jerry, so I Googled and found places that show it - one of which is Prime, so I thought "Ok, I can use that for the last month I'll have it" but nope - you have to pay for it. Wut. I knew it did that with movies, havng borrowed a friend's account a while back, but Tom and fucking Jerry? Literal 80-year old content? I can't recall what the cost was, but it was like £2+ an episode. *hands in air*
So I did what every right-thinking person should do, I Torrented about 6Gb worth, so the kid'll be fine for a wee while.
I just don't GET it.
- They are a store and sell tv shows and movies. SOME content is free, but a lot is just for rent or for sale. Lots of other platforms do this too.monospaced
- yeah, its very odd. i saw a film was listed on there recently and instead of a play button there was a button to subscribe to apple tv to watch it...kingsteven
- i just did a trial of amazon music because i was traveling and it has incredibly bad algorithmic music choices. shit you would just never put togetherkingsteven
- somehow they killed the highstreet yet replaced it with a giant online pound-shopkingsteven
- its not that confusing... the xtra pay conntent is marked with a special icon.. like extra channels. mgm- apple ..etc... seems pretty straightforward to me...neverscared
- but highly likely its not kidsproof if they wanna have fun and watch freely without financial consequences...neverscared
- Ok, cool. But why are people seemingly happy to pay for that? I'm out, but i'm still wonderingNairn
- they don't pay for it separately, it's included with any Amazon Prime accountmonospaced

Every company that sends me a survey after buying anything.
- But wait, that would require them to do what they did before, which is hire people to do marketing research. They just outsourced the job to u. Do u mind?cherub

People who make their horrible instant coffee with a spoon AND THEN put the spoon into the sugar bowl. Put the sugar in the mug first, with a clean spoon. Why would you not? Mental.
- Don’t need to stir instant coffee, just put the coffee in before the water********

I'm doing a boring long-cut job at work and don't have much to do otherwise, so have been watching shitty YouTubes and... cutting my nails. Somewhat idly, it seems, because I've not been paying attention and now I've cut them too fucking short and I HATE THAT FEELING. I'VE HATED THAT FEELING SINCE I WAS A KID AND MOTHER WOULD CUT THEM DOWN TO THE BONE AND RRRNGHHNNNNNGH, IT JUST FEELS WRONG.
It's like squeezing cotton wool for me, or what people who don't like nails down a chalkboard feel.
*inverts
- Chalkboard? What am I, a Yank?Nairn
- The pain of also not being able to grip things to open stuff too, hehePhanLo
- I'm just glad that i don't have to peel any fucking perspex wrap over the next few days, lolNairn
- Aah! As a kid pulling a nail off and the last bit doesn't want to, so you either yank it half way down your finger or leave it flapping like a fish hookFax_Benson

BREAKING: Conor McGregor announces he is running for the President of Ireland
- let's get all the foreigners out of Ireland so we can get back to killing each other!_niko
- The post of president of Ireland is ceremonial. The Taoiseach (Prime Minister) is the head of govt.kingsteven
- Not that he doesn't have fans but I'd say McGregor is less popular in Ireland than anywhere else.kingsteven
- But still
LOLgrafician - Bono for PM!!OBBTKN
- Worryingly, I can see him getting support from people on the breadline and the growing anti immigration camp.mort_

Whoever it was at Microsoft circa 1994 who came up with the My ______ naming scheme for Windows 95.
30 years later every large organization has someone who thinks naming the new employee portal, pension hub, internal message board, etc, My Portal, My Hub, My Messages, is hot shit. And somehow they get it approved before anyone with any sense has a chance to interject.
- Is it “senseless” though? The convention works.monospaced
- It has zero identity of its own, likely doesn't follow prescribed naming directions, and blends into the handful of My Whatever services or accountsi_monk
- you're likely to accumulate.i_monk
- It’s not that pervasive lolmonospaced
