So... Klingons are now Uruk-hai, Captain and First Officer are both Little Miss Know It Alls.

Think Data was a number spewing autist and Voyager's writers gave up and filled half with the dialog with meaningless techno-babble?
Did you want more of that?
No? Well too bad because this shit show dials it up to 11.

Also one of the cameramen is drunk, dutch angles are as over used as lens flare in Jar-Jar Abrams Trek.
Oh, and they shoe horned comments on racism in like an antifa wielded claw hammer.

Atleast we have the Orville to entertain us.

Edit:
Also Dark Matter got shit canned by Sy Fy, if you hadn't heard.

ColonicAcid · Mon Sep 25, 2017 11:20 pm

The verbal fight is ongoing with parentage, of which the mother knows nothing and asks for no conflict/to be as subservient as her whilst the father knows nothing, gets frustrated when he can't understand anything and says we can't do anything not because he doesn't understand it, since he doesn't like to tell anyone he's thick, but because he said so.

Either Dell laptops are a lot chunkier than I remember or the underpaid dot head got lazy and threw up a generic picture of a 3.5" HDD.

Also - WTF!! over a hundred quid for a 1TB hard drive?!?!?! Are Dell taking the piss?

It'll be a rebranded Western Digital anyway, speaking of which:

7200 RPM, same price and size as that generic chinese drive (which is probably a western digital that fell off the conveyor belt)

Went to one of those conventions that has all those people from companies that talk to students. I'm lucky to have such a large school that many large companies to come by to talk to us. Still, didn't really get the courage to talk to the huge companies so I settled for some of the regional ones. I didn't enjoy it that much, kinda wish I didn't have to do this kind of shit but I suppose it's necessary. Perhaps there will be less talking to people like this once I actually get settled in my career in tax.

Malkevin · Post by **Malkevin** » Thu Nov 02, 2017 6:51 pm #353292

Mostly because all the douchebag hipsters jumped on them and tried to use them as an excuse for them being superior and better than everyone.

Same reason everyone hates the Germans really.

Screemonster · Fri Nov 03, 2017 9:35 am

vapers are yet another body of evidence that fandoms ruin everything

compare it to something like cars, most people can't stand the jackasses who go around with coffee-can exhausts and body kits and god knows what else strapped onto their shitty little corsa, but have no problem with people who just drive a car (or race properly on actual racing circuits) and don't make a big deal out of it or push it in everyone's face by racing in the street

it's the whole "my way of enjoying myself is better than yours, what do you mean you're not putting 100% into it all the time like it's a fucking lifestyle or something you POSER" thing too. You barely notice someone who just vapes as the nicotine substitute and doesn't pump it full of that god knows whatever the fuck it is that makes the gigantic plume of smoke like you need to alert the fucking comanches or something that you vape

Posting it here because it's funny as fuck

>Work at Wal Mart
>Shift starts, 5 people have called off, hours havent generated so we don't know how much of what freight we have
>Open the grocery truck, a pallet has tipped over, bunch of spaghetti jars shattered and dry macaroni crushed
>Clean that up, unload the truck just fine for a few minutes
>Soda pallet tips over when pulled, stocker almost crushed
>Pallet jack destroyed by a ton and a half of GREAT VALUE SODA
>Clean THIS up, get some time to work freight
>Get through 1 cart of freight, maintenance runs by my aisle
>Sewage is backing up and coming through the maintenance covers throughout the store
>4 spots total, 3 on the sales floor and one in the backroom
>Told to just keep stocking as maintenance is squeegeeing the sewage back to the pipes that are actively adding more sewage to the area
>Take a cart of cardboard back to the cardboard baler
>There is a gas forklift inside, lifting a trash can to the trash compactor
>Trash can slips because it's just a trash can resting between the forks, ends up diagonal
>At this point, everyone trying to compactor the trash can of cat litter and sewage leaves, leaving me and the forklift operator
>I grab a pallet and point to it because the forklift is fucking deafening inside where it's not supposed to be as it's spewing deadly fumes inside a closed space
>He gets the hint and we take everything outside in the rain
>We lift the can again and move a pallet underneath it and eventually get the trash can in the compactor
>A stocker has been taking pictures of the whole event, is basically chased out of the store and is yelling at people that all the water on the floor is sewage and should leave
>And is fired
>Posts it all on facebook, can't link because no facebook account
>We still haven't closed, 2 hours after this started
>Go on lunch, there is a puddle in the break room
>Rest of the night is stressful but ultimately uneventful as the remaining stockers get as much freight done as possible
>The store closes 15 minutes after my shift ends

For some reason
We kept a store flooded with shit open for damn near 6 fucking hours after it happened
And people still shopped

Needless to say, it was a shitty day

A lot of my post was tied to the sewage

The call offs, the busted pallets, and the sewage are ultimately the 3 THINGS that happened

The sewage fuck up just was mishandled on so many levels

The fact the store wasn't closed is just nightmarish

I was going to ask if there was whistle blower protection but then I remembered you're in corporate America, so that's a stupid question

Hope you didn't have your phone connected to the stores WiFi, otherwise some neck beard is checking the router logs for other social media tattle tales.
