Football is called football because it’s played on foot, unlike polo and other horse sports.

The picture is from 1970. John Cleese is 30 or 31 years old in that picture…

True depiction:

Sadly it’s a remake. The original url was bought by some porn/click farm.

But yes, even the original script wouldn’t work on modern browsers. If anyone wants to do something like this today, they should buy a mobile ad. There’s seemingly no limits to how many pop-ups and redirects they’re allowed to make.

For anyone too young to remember, the “you are an idiot 😀😀😀” reference, it was a prank virus from 2002.

Technically it wasn’t even a virus even if it was usually described as such. It was just a link to a website that would show the text, play the song, and then spawn more windows when you attempted to close one. Restarting the PC was the only way to stop it. It was very funny in cubicle offices.

I’m fine, thank you for your concern.

It is by all means a humourous shitpost. The last line in my post is a pun on the rap song 99 problems, which should be the give away.

Pretty nice until the day inevitably comes where one of the RFID chips malfunctions and the fridge keeps insisting that you throw out something that isn’t there and you can’t reset the inventory without downloading an update from some company that doesn’t exist anymore using a profile that your ex has the password for.

Then you’ll wonder why you didn’t use to have these sorts of issues, and your kids will ask how you updated the fridge in your childhood. As an adult you are expected to know this stuff. With your authority being undermined like that they’ll stop listening to anything you say and start smoking crack after school. Now you have a malfunctioning fridge and junkie children. Thanks a lot, dad.

No thanks. I’ve got 99 problems, but a fridge ain’t one.

The joke is that Reddit is the only one “buying” Reddit gold. They use it to herd the hivemind.

… and this is different from Reddit gold how?

“Getting” unpaid leave is a misnomer. The employee isn’t getting anything and they employer isn’t giving anything.

It’s a right. It is the right to leave without the risk of the employment agreement being terminated over that specific leave.

The employer ought to be grateful if an employee wants to return after being required elsewhere for personal reasons for 12 weeks.

While you’re busy using both hands to disarm the one handed gun, your opponent has plenty of time to throw pocket sand.

I know it as Greek Breakfast.

It can be enjoyed anywhere or any time, but it’s best served on a balcony in underwear. Greece happens to be a good place to get it in the morning all year round.

They were part of WW2.

Stolen ashtrays etc. was almost free marketing distribution.

If the couple in bed wanted to talk, they could just call each other.

That was also the period when the introduction of tire pressure sensors created brand new issue that people never had before.

However you probably don’t miss the manual choke valve, double clutching, hand winded starter crank, or even window cranks.

There was really no golden period of car controls. It went fluidly from one kind of shit to another kind of shit.

It needs the most advanced AI and direct access to LinkedIn to reach maximum efficiency. No prompting required and all cookies allowed. I want all 1049 partners to get an instantaneous feed from my butthole.

Japanese working culture is … different.

Tl:dr;

The top-cited reason for using resignation agencies, at 40.7%, was that companies refused to let them quit. Other reasons included fear of backlash if they resigned alone or their work environment discouraged employees from quitting independently.

Not officially. It was removed in 2023.
