  • I dislike the self censorship, but I don’t mind that it’s half assed. Given that it’s apparently enough to defeat OCR and not meant to demonstrate the morals of the poster, I see no need for the whole ass to get involved.

    However, I do appreciate your efforts to reverse the damage.


  • I briefly worked at a small phone repair shop that didn’t see much foot traffic or get many calls, but we also had a mandatory line to say when answering the phone. I don’t remember the line, but it was a little more than “thanks for calling X, how can I help you?”

    Anyway, once I was very tired on shift and got a call, but totally butchered the line, messing it up immediately, then correcting myself with plenty of “uhm” and "sorry, I mean … " added. Eventually I realized there was no recovering, gave up and just stopped talking. After that there was a long silence, followed by the sound of someone laughing their ass off.

    Turns out I was fortunate - it was my then-girlfriend calling, rather than a customer or manager or something. When she stopped laughing she said “do you want to try that again?”

    Probably I heard it there, as I played extensively as a kid, but I guess I never absorbed it.

    edit: I still am not sure if I like FUTO as a keyboard, but I’m not a fan of it randomly inserting words. Here I have removed one of those.
