• What shocking horrible news that Veggie is going to leave forever. It will be torment beyond bearing.

• It's not true, she's like the smell of a dead rat that got stuck behind the fridge and choked on a peanut, certain to return at some inconvenient time.

• I hope she isn't leaving because of anything I said. I had so many worse things to say about her. Whose pelvic floor will I now compare to a leaky bucket of puss?

• It's so unfair that a trivial Cloudflare bot-check could break her ability to use a computer in the most basic ways, her grandchildren are to blame for leaving her unattended with a laptop for entire days, an elderly like her needs more support than this. Maybe if we hire some child labour to work her electronics for her, she can come back to us after all.

• Without the excitement and variety that her two conversational topics (wokeness and American abuses of English) deliver... is there really any point attempting philosophy any more? I can't even bear the thought of talking about liberty if there isn't a dessicated homunculoid half-woman from the Southern Ocean to tell me that using that word means I must be an American.

• Oh Veggie, without your spite and the lingering smell of piss that follows you, our lives will be almost entirely liveable, is that any way for a human to be?

• I suppose we will have to roll up our sleeves and fill the holes in our lives that Veggie's departure leaves by other means. Perhaps if we teach Age the word "woke" he can inflict that on every single conversation ever for no fucking reason. And if we teach the parrot that lives on Henry's shoulder to complain about "plasticinians", then over time it will be like she never left us.

The manager was really fat and ugly so despite my encouragement (we needed the money) he declined the offer

C'mon ya ol' bat. FFS. I have no idea what she's doing, probably rebooting the kettle or something.

I wanna go home Baz, it's been a long day - wots this daft ol' dinosaur doing? - evolving a brain i hope.

"I HEARD THAT!"

Oh, sorry madam. Is the problem resolved?

"NO! What do you mean reboot the computer? I've been kicking it for 5 minutes and still the same problem"

Madam, does your husband have steel cap work boots?

"Yes, he does"

Is your husband home?

"No he isn't"

Good. Place the boots on your feet.

"Yes"

Now, see the dangly wire from the thing that you are holding up to your ear?

"Yes"

It connects to a beige base, with a dial on it, I want you to reboot that base as hard as you can..

"OK, hang on" BANG CLICK

Phew, daft ol bat hung up on me...I think I'll pick up some beers on the way home.

..the end of a day in the Life of Brian.

There's a reason why so-called computer nerds are always male.

What makes males so confident, even when they have absolutely NOTHING to be confident ABOUT?

It was always the same entitled spoilt brat b*****s (I hate that word) that had the attitude that they knew more than some dude that just happens to be working in a call centre, thus must be dumb. Always unreasonable unwilling to accept the truth. The men 9 times out of 10 you could eventually calm them down and reason with them. But there was a certain type of woman (*perhaps the Veg type?) that you couldn't bring them to the correct conclusion.

You'd be surprised at the level of knowledge some 'call centre' tech roles require.

Let's see you remote configure a VOIP router, because the tech on site has fucked up all the line connection points to shed load of phones, faxes etc..

PS. There were loads of women at my office

accelafine wrote: ↑Wed Mar 12, 2025 8:53 pm So don't patronise me with your 'ooh, I'm such a clever male who knows everything there is to know about 'mysterious techy stuff' so I'm going to gift you the honour of my infinitely superior wisdom because you are such a decrepit, helpless old crone who could never hope to match my vastly superior 'man-knowledge'.

Ps. None of your 'solutions' made any difference.

Then they weren't solutions were they.. We're on a philosophy forum here Veg, apply some logic.

Clearly the issue is PEBKAC as I originally suggested.

- Go to someone else house and test the forum on their device - if it's the same issue it's Rick's IT dude been tasked with sabotaging your account
- If that works, get a new laptop - if you cant afford one - second hand test at cash converters first - if you can't afford that, become a lady of the night until you can *for lesbian women of course.
