I got into an internet argument with someone who claimed similar with my usage of “dude.”
In the wise words of a great poet of our generation, “I’m a dude, he’s a dude, she’s a dude, we’re all dudes, hey.”
I still use dude with everyone.
I test drive a regular Audi A4 and Infiniti Q50 a few times and became hooked on owning an AWD. It doesn’t snow where I live but the handling was everything I ever wanted. Currently searching for an AWD version of the car I want next and there’s like none down here, it’s super frustrating
Legitimately the best answer here. OP sounds like they have tendencies that aren’t good for long term social and mental health.
Okay, but you have to realize that they’re under no obligation to please you.
Even if the opportunity presented itself, it’s not necessarily the case that it would have come to fruition. Chances are that person wouldn’t have bothered to make a video even with your request, because they were likely panicking about their stuck ring. I’d be happy that my advice helped the person out without pushing my luck to get a video out of it too.
Maybe try the largest city close by, one of the florists there might have a website where you can order online
The same way that I’d call my cat a little shit if she was being a brat for the fun of it like she does sometimes
You have posted anti-party memes to American social media, -15,000,000 social credit. Your family will now be sent to Gulag.
Because the little shits (affectionate) don’t want to put them down when appropriate
I’d get a normal amount of food and carry on the way I have been. Cutting out the grocery bill would be a life changer.
I put a whole extra quart into my Camry, you’ll be fine lol
‘I’ve worked here for a year already. It should be clear by now that I’m not a talkative person. This is a question I don’t want to answer. And I hope that you respect that.’
This won’t be taken well at all and sounds incredibly assholish.
‘that I don’t talk doesn’t mean I hate you, it means I have nothing to say’ < I find it ludicrous even having to explain this.
Still kinda rude IMO
‘I don’t see what that has to do with the job’
Depending on the situation could also be rude.
‘I don’t talk about religion, politics or my private life with coworkers and I hope you respect that’
Yes, this is good. Firm and clear.
‘all right, I need time to unwind, which means today I’ll spend my pause somewhere else.’ and proceed to eat alone somewhere else. And if they pester yet again: ‘leave me alone’
How about just “Sorry, I don’t feel like talking right now.” except you say that every time like a broken record. They’ll move on eventually since you never have anything to add.
So… Match em? It’s not “unfair” if you don’t even bother to keep up
Win11 was forcibly installed on my coworker’s computers. This happened more than once. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1607264/why-is-my-windows-10-pro-system-automatically-forc

I guess I hallucinated my computer restarting by itself on multiple occasions due to Microsoft updates, even after I disabled the services, before I nuked every sign of it from the registry and the reboots suddenly stopped. Crazy. https://superuser.com/questions/1277757/windows-updates-forcibly-rebooting-my-pc-at-night
Copilot appeared with regular updates on my sister’s computer, unprompted. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/why-is-it-that-you-install-software-i-never-asked/a4fce101-b9e8-4d10-9c15-1f8350004e09
There were easy to find examples of everything that I said, some of them happened to myself, my family, or my coworkers. If you’re going to be blatantly wrong and easily disproved then maybe you shouldn’t go on after all.
Eeyup, same exact situation here. I leave my work computer overnight reencoding video pretty frequently, and would lose so much productivity due to restarts I didn’t ask for.
To run as System and prevent permission issues from wagging its finger at you and saying “nuh uh”. Yes obviously you can open Services the normal way if it wasn’t windows update BS
Download and install sysinternals suite: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite
then run:
psexec -i -s services.msc
and disable Windows Update, Update Orchestrator, and WaaSmedic if it’s there.
Alternatively, do the same psexec but regedit instead of services, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services, find those same services I listed above, change the Start value to 4 to disable. I went to the next step and neutered all the registry entries for each of those services to make sure they stayed dead.
What do you have against windows updates?
Forced windows 11 upgrades, breaking VPNs, breaking recovery partitions, intentionally targeting and breaking the win10 start menu for win11, installing unwanted software, enabling ads, adding additional telemetry, adding half baked AI nonsense that nobody asked for, restarting without a prompt and losing progress or canceling a running program… Should I keep going?
If it has an HDMI port, it can be a dumb TV. Just don’t connect it to wifi, easy
