How could we forget Wendy O of the Plasmatics?

NSFW, genius.
Hey, I remember her from that Tipper Gore book!
Protip: Images in spoiler tags still get loaded by the browser.
Though Tom may not be posting, I suspect that the general "if you have to ask yourself if it's NSFW, don't post it inline" rule is a good one to follow.
I don't think anyone has any problem with properly labeled NSFW links being posted, but I and many others browse QT3 from work, and we'd rather not have that conversation with IT/HR.
Honestly it didn't occur to me that that particular photo would be a problem. Probably because the 20 or so that I looked at first were much worse. I'm usually more careful.
No worries. Thanks for editing.
Fucking Best Buy's support!
I preordered the CE version of Dark Souls from them. They couldn't fulfill my order so they gave me a promo code for $10 off my next video game purchase. Earlier this week I decide to get UMvC3 with it. The code didn't work. I emailed their support including the original email they sent me with the code. Their response directed me to call their support, great.
I got around to that last night and they're as useful as tits on a bull. There wasn't much of wait which was nice but the person I got clearly had no idea what to do my situation, because issuing a new code is hard or something? I was on the phone with her for nearly 30 minutes, about 20-25 of which she had me on hold for whatever reason. I got about three different stories out of her about what was going to happen, eventually culminating in they'd send me a new code via email. Why the hell couldn't that have been done with my initial email. After this annoying event I realized I never actually gave her my email address. Though I did give her my name and address and my email address is on my Best Buy.ca account.
No code yet and I'm not hopefully it will ever come. I'm trying, damn hard, to give you my money Best Buy, but it seems you're making this entirely too difficult and I don't think this is worth the $10 discount!
Fucking. Voice. RECOGNITION. PHOOONE MENUUUUUS!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU !
The only thing that fills me with as much rage as bad drivers. It honestly takes weeks off of my life to use these things.
"Call customer support."
>CRASH INTO TREE. EXECUTING.
"No, you piece o.."
>CALLING PIZZA
I actually dig voice recog. on my phone OS, it's the fucking "smart" menus I have to deal with when calling customer support for something.
H.
Voice recognition menus are easy. Just answer with "wharblegarble" a few times. Then you will get:
"We are transferring you to an operator. Please hold."
I just jam on the 0 key until it gives up.
IT WOULDN'T GIVE UP.
Start swearing. That usually gets you to a rep ASAP.
Trying my best not to call my usually-intelligent father a blithering idiot for believing in dowsing and personal "energy" and other wacky hippie nonsense. Argh, stop being a tool, Dad.
My father in law is like that. At least I've stopped him from suggesting we go see healers, homeopaths and what not... I really don't want to go into an anti-wacko rant in front of him, but it's been close.
My mother is a firm believer in all that. And I'm a firm believer in the placebo effect, so it's all good.
Is this the right forum for unwarranted rage? Because the use of the dividers at the supermarket pisses me off. It's a foible but fucking how hard is it to wait seven seconds and allow a distinctive gap between my purchase and yours?
The problem is that the checker may not be paying attention and just mash your stuff with theirs. The divider prevents that.
Yeah, that's a really fucking stupid thing to rage about.
It's also because the belt will automatically continue until something breaks the beam at the end. If the cashier isn't paying attention, the next person's purchases will silently roll up and look just like yours. The divider breaks the beam, stops the conveyor, and clearly indicates that a new challenger approaches.
It's not about you. It's about making the checker's job easier.
I said it was unwarranted, after all. But 99 out of 100 times the checker does notice and I like to think we can all expect a bit more from these fresh-eyed young folks, eh?
Holy shit, just put the damned divider down and shut the hell up. :)
NEVER! All hail the obvious gap!
H.
It puts the divider on the conveyer or it gets the hose again.
