I don’t see how that would be helpful. Just having female colleges I wanted to bang used to screw with my productivity (focus etc).
I assume you mean colleagues. Banging a whole women’s college is a worthy goal.

@Kilemall yeah I’m on my phone so my ohhtee browsing while I eat lunch doesn’t go through work’s VPN.

It just occurred to me today with India recently becoming the most populous country on earth, their odd English grammar might one day become the norm. It doesn’t bother me normally but, for some reason, it irritates me in technical discussion. For example, Indian programmers on Reddit keep saying “codes” (plural) for source code or programs.
And then there’s this phrase which someone used with me in Teams today and it’s not the first time I’ve heard it:
ok…ill take a pull and the same
I have no idea wtf that even means. I’m guessing he’ll create a pull request? I dunno.

Or jerking off?
I doubt they influence the rest of the world because they don’t make any entertainment worth watching and that’s how accents and vocab spread beyond their border. Even the stuff they do make that’s worth watching to some, like programming youtubes, is unwatchable to many other English speakers.

I don’t know where this goes, so will dump it here. Reddit wants to get paid for AI developers to scrape their platform to train their models. They commercialized their API, which was free to everyone before. Now users are pissed off because the Reddit apps suck ass, making the platform unusable for some (especially sub moderators). Some are even claiming ownership of the content as they create the conversations that Reddit is trying to sell. Many are threatening to jump to another platform, though I don’t know what that will be. Seems like Reddit could have tailored their API license to target AI companies specifically, leaving it open for others like app developers and individuals/students to play with.
Major Reddit communities will go dark to protest threat to third-party apps
Moderators say third-party apps are essential for their work.

If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilized morality to savage morality, or Christian morality to Nazi morality. In fact, of course, we all do believe that some moralities are better than others . . . . The moment you say that one set of moral ideas can be better than another, you are, in fact, measuring them both by a standard . . . admitting that there is such a thing as a real Right, independent of what people think, and that some people's ideas get nearer to that real Right than others."

I wish it would occur to someone at Microsoft that they don’t have to hit my CPU hard for their periodic update and indexing processes like some over eager virgin fumbling in the pants of the first girl that would let him. They could configure these services to sip CPU and run for hours or days instead of trying to finish them as quickly as possible. I’m here all week, I’m in no hurry. Why are you bothering me with fan noise?

Interesting thread below about one of the 3rd party apps called Apollo that is shutting down. Personally, I think all this bleating (from users) about what the Apollo guy says would be $2.50 a month per user is overblown. A lot of the most upvoted protest comments and threads on Reddit for weeks now seem to be from economic illiterates or communists who think they’ve got some inalienable right for Reddit to serve them shit for free and without advertising. The apollo app alone was serving 7 billion requests per month; someone has to pay for the Reddit servers to handle that.
Anyway, I got diverted: the most interesting to me part of the below thread was that after he met with Reddit, the Reddit CEO publicly claimed he tried to blackmail them for 10 million dollars. But apparently Canada has “one-party consent recording” and the Apollo guy recorded the calls revealing their lies.

Wow what a wangled web we weave. Sounds like Apollo had a really good run.
