every once in a while i get the idea to go on twitter and search for some term that only braindead people use looking to find the most insane political takes or some targeted individual having a meltdown and every time its just a bunch of asinine boring posts from people spam replying.

one of these days a kid is gonna tell me a story about how his teacher walked into class and said "okay chat today we are going to learn about..."

someone is going to have to read that twice because they didnt even notice the problem in the first read.

when i crack my neck its super loud so as a prank i like to crack it super aggressively around other people and then immediately slump over like i just broke my own neck and died.

still waiting for the day i have a good one loaded up so that i can say "this conversation sucks im out" and then do the loudest ear shattering neck crack of all time and fall over

sometimes i look at twitter and dont want to know whats going on.

i have a story about this
i got my own pc at 8 years old and made a yahoo email for myself because gmail didnt exist yet. later that year at school my class was put into a computer literacy class where one of the instructions was to create an email at hotmail where the user name was first initial last name and email the teacher. i thought "oh thats fine. i already have an email so ill just send from there.
that wasnt good enough. i had to make a hotmail so i brought up the fact that every single infographic and article about digital hygiene says not to use your real name on the internet, double true for children.
the teacher did not appreciate that i said that right in front of every other child that was creating a real name email address, who all seemed worried after i said that. she said "i know you already know about computers. just do it and you never need to use the email again." fuck it whatever. i do it.
the second part of the lesson was to go home, login at home, and send another email to the teacher from home. i get home, go to log in to hotmail but accidentally type "hotmale dot com" and BAM hardcore gay pornography on my screen.
i was so fucking mad.

i am once again hateposting about microsoft
today i had a user come to me because when looking at all of the teams he is a member of, one of them was missing. my first thought was that someone made a mistake and accidentally dropped him from the team. i think thats a pretty rational line of thinking. user error should be more common than software error, right?
but ive dealt with microsofts garbage code (which is only getting worse) long enough to have him close and reopen teams and of course the group became visible again just by restarting the application.
it took me all of four minutes to fix this and yet im still bitter because like half of all my tickets are just this crap. these kinds of fodder tickets waste so much of my time which is really oxymoronic because all of the changes and new features across all of microsofts products are designed to make IT and user computer use easier.
its really, really, not easier. i cant wait for everyone else to realize this corpse is dead and cold so that we can move on to better services

its a good thing i dont have control over any phone systems because i would definitely change the hold music to doohicky type music

thinks i plan on doing today:
1. have a good day

it will never stop being funny to me that in cyber security "TA" can mean "threat actor" (the bad guy) or "threat analyst" (the good guy)
frankly its rather poetic because its pretty normal for people to switch sides. the guy who shut down notpetya ransomware (the largest ransomware campaign at the time and probably still is) got arrested for writing banking malware like 20 years ago.

ive noticed a new feature in youtube where instead of starting a video at 0:00 it starts a minute or two in around the time that previews/intros/etc end.
its not very accurate and a bit jarring. im not a fan of it. i already use sponsorblock to skip those things and i dont need youtube trying to preempt that.

this is called "rent seeking"

after more than a year of being severely retarded, microsoft finally remembered that on prem AD exists and i no longer have to use appwiz just to domain join a pc

the reason why firefighters spend more time doing fire prevention than fighting fires is because they spend more time doing fire prevention than fight fires.

when i turned 21 i went in to the dmv to get a new drivers license that would be accepted for alcohol purchase. they asked me if i would like to register to a political party and i said independent. i would get the regular amount of spam political calls telling me what i should vote for.
a few years later i moved to a new state and got new drivers license. i was again asked to affiliate with a party and on a whim said "democrat". nothing funny would happen but who knows.
after about 2 years of nothing, suddenly im being bombarded with spam calls, mostly from D.C. 202 area code. interestingly, they do not just call and start flooding my ear with some noscript. instead they specifically call for me by my legal name which is surprising because the only time i use my legal name is when im required to such as opening a bank account. most calls i receive ask for me by a different name. they also ask information gathering questions like "is this a cell phone?" "are you still residing in [city]?"
all of the issues they call me about are specifically for things that democrats support. I dont know any republican affiliated people who get the same treatment from democrats or republicans.
despite the fact that these callers sound very american i still ask them "do you have working toilets or do you still shit in the streets?"
