  • We was all at lunch one day at work and one of the supervisors came in and asked someone to do something when we finished lunch.

    This particular nasty shit told him this was our break and to piss off. No one particularly found that necessary.

    Supervisor guy apologised for disturbing our break, explaining he’s sorry and that it was the anniversary of his wife’s passing and he wasn’t thinking straight. He wasn’t one to disturb us on break normally.

    The arsehole then replied to the supervisor something along the lines of “we don’t bring our problems in work and neither should you, so fuck off”

    When the supervisor left, we all let the guy know what an arsehole he was for doing that.

    Possibly one of the worst people I’ve ever worked with. He eventually got fired for posting derogatory stuff on Facebook about the job/people he worked with and the supervisor we worked with had a lovely retirement send off when he hit his old age.




  • I hate where the internet is right now.

    Anyone trying to get information written by a human or decent benchmarks of CPUs is in for a real crap time.

    Just tested i5 12400 vs i3 12100f and was met with results in this order:

    1. Userbenchmark
    2. Userbenchmark
    3. CPU-Monkey
    4. 3 shitty YouTube videos of obviously fake gameplay benchmarks (that’s a whole other thing on YouTube)
    5. Technical city
    6. cpubenchmark.net - the first kind of decent result as it’s from the people at passmark.
    7. versus (dot com)
    8. gadget versus
    9. pc Praha (dot cz)
    10. cpu-compare
    11. cpu-panda

    The crap just goes on. SEO optimised lists of (at best) affiliate link laden spec sheets with no real information form an actual human.












  • Loving how raw this all feels too.

    Even if all this ends up being a niche thing, I’ll still get my social fix with likeminded randoms on the internet, hopefully with less doomscroll.

    I’ve certainly been more interested in commenting here vs Reddit, just because it seems far less toxic, the slight wrong thing posted on Reddit and the pile on was a real danger.

    Seeing many, many posts where simple questions were asked by newcomers seeking help with the obligatory blind downvote is awful for newbies.

    Interested to see where all of this leads to and very appreciative of what Earnest has achieved.

    It might be rough but I’m sure ready.
