A few weeks ago guy from my bank calls me and tells me he's my new rep. He's white. This is amazing since all my bank seems to do is hire jeets these days. We set up a meeting so I can discuss some things I need.

Today the manager of the bank calls me to tell me the guy is out of the office and can she swap another person in for the meeting. "Fine," I say. She tells me it's someone named "Avi".

Avi? Am I getting one of the Chosen People?

Avi calls me and it's a woman. I'm confused by her accent. She tells me to submit all of the documentation I already submitted to the first person. So that means nothing I asked for to be done a few weeks ago, was started. She gives me her email address.

I Google her last name. Sure enough, she's a fucking jeet. I delete her email. No way a jeet is going to take control of the Zyklon C fortune. I'm still pissed that nothing got done that I fucking asked for.

-----

Later today, my Outlook on my work PC updated. It's now suggesting words for every fucking word I write -- that type a few letters and press tab to accept the suggested word. I'm a fast typist so this is distracting to me because my focus on what I'm writing is being intruded on.

Local IT policies, written by jeets, won't let me turn this off.

Jeets...they're murdering my soul on an hourly basis.

Put on a random, slop YT video about vidya games, voice sounded extremely weird. Thinking to myself, wait, is this shit auto-dubbed (most retarded thing YT has ever implemented) i check the settings and indeed it was. Native language track is in my own language (German), i change the setting and the motherfucker sounds even more weird and autistic than the AI dub. Not the first time this happened.

Video in question:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=94LD3p1bxjg:15The AI voice actually "translates" this dude's extremely autistic pronounciation and cadence quite well.

Edit: Just now noticing the glory of that AI thumbnail, if your SNES pad didn't have six face buttons you know shit about video games :story:

I've seen short videos that were in English get misidentified by autodub as Portugese for some reason but then the autodub is just a worse version of what's being said in the original audio. I've also tried to turn the autodub off in the app and it doesn't work no matter how much I tap. It used to pop up all the damn time. Within the past two months it's become rare to have either a foreign language vid have the autodub on or an English vid get misidentified.
 
I had something that grinded my gears to post about here, but now I forgot! That grinds my gears something shocking.
 
I did a zoom call job interview, and this dude looked 25 but his company has been song for 100 years, kept showing his ring finger and had a huge cross behind him. He spoke at a 100mph and couldn't give me a straight answer. I told him I would think about it and he said he had 38 other applicants. I said he should hire all of them.

I can hear your lying, motherfucker.
 
Had this really annoying interaction at work.

So I'm stocking the shelf and a Muslim woman and her friend/sister/whatever come over to the aisle where I am, say something in very broken Danish and I am like "?????????" because I can't tell if they were talking to me or not, and then they walk away anyway. And I'm like....."Okay, cool," and continue my work.

But then the Muslima comes over and she's pissed and she points at me and says "YOU HELP ME NOW! HELP NOW!!"

Bitch, what is your fucking problem? Maybe don't fuck off if you want me to do something.

So I go over and Muslima and Friend are rambling at me and I still do not understand what they are saying so I politely ask them to explain it again and one gets super pissed and points at an electric kettle. They want two of them. Cool. At least they had the courtesy to buy the items they took out of the box.

So I go and find the kettle from storage and I come back and they are very loudly talking, and all I understand was "waka waka". Mmhmm. Right.

They were also snooping around the items I was in the middle of stocking. Can you not do that, please?

I give them the kettle and one Muslima is like "Gobbledegook" to her friend/sister/lesbian fellow carpet muncher/whatever and take the kettle and don't even say thank you or acknowledge me when they take the kettle...and open the box. But why? It's a kettle in there, what did you expect?

Anyway the cunts toss it in the cart and walk past me like I'm air. So I am conflict adverse, but I can get bitchy when I get pissed so I give a little passive-aggressive "Have a nice day,"'

They look at me and keep "waka waka-ing" to each other. I guess they are still pissed because I couldn't understand them.

Right.

I kinda hate it when people with very thick accents have zero self-awareness and get offended when others don't understand what they are saying. Having an accent sucks ass, I get that. I have a Nordic one when I speak English.

But you gotta understand that there's a chance you won't be legible for everyone so accept that and take the L instead of being a little bitch queen about it. Why have such a fucking ego about it?

I know, I get it. But you can still be cold and haughty to them, and drag out every interaction to show they do not deserve your service. And the more you can get away with denying them any help at all, the less often they will show up in your store.

TT:

When I first encountered Indians I was polite to them. But I learned very quickly that they do not see polite behavior as a reciprocal form of respect - but only as a sign that they are higher than you so they can treat you like dirt. I had to reverse my policy and become very blunt, suspicious, and dismissive to all Indians to make them fall back into line. I hate this because I'm a 'give everyone a chance' kind of guy. But it is necessary. So now half my public interactions require being an asshole. Which grinds against the gears of my nature. Every time I let up - I am quickly reminded by some sneaky bullshit that they can't be trusted. Just last week a Jeet secretary tried to screw me out of a job by not forwarding my references to the management.

Back in the pandemic, the Jeets had already hit hard and gotten into all jobs; technicians, cashiers, baristas, trucking and they had Leet Jeets who were in the managerial positions and only hired Jeets. After they had filled all of the entry level jobs the low level white trash just had to deal with not getting jobs while good liberals would say: " you wouldn't want that job anyways."
So there are also woowoo Indians in this town and a lot of them have apricot brains and they blame their alcoholism, and inbred violence everyone else's problem so a lot of them are homeless and steal from the box stores.
One of the weirdest things I saw was Indian vs. Indian, one of the drunken woowoos steals something from a box store and inevitably the angry uniformed Jeet would be chasing while repremanding them for stealing.


Thread tax: People who bring their reactive dogs to the park.

Why?

Why do people have so many reactive Shepherds and then bring them to the park where they creepily stalk my dog and run at her snarling. They might have a more assertive method of playing but the Shepherd always seem to reach a point where playing turns into snarling and snapping and full submission.

Today it was a old snarly border collie.

Had a similar interaction this week standing at the bus stop. Some grandma waiting next to me (no hijab, fair skin, i thought she's either German or some manner of Slav) went "Young man, young man!", i got closer, she lets lose with four, five sentences in German with the heaviest turkroach accent i've heard in years. I did not understand a single word, just stared at her, said "Uh, okay" once, she gives me that sucking-wind-through-teeth shit and an annoyed shake of her head. I have no clue what the fuck she was on about and i am usually good with understanding heavily-accented German (my father was an immigrant and spoke German poorly even after 40 years in the country). "Young man" was literally the only thing i understood, and only because she said it twice.

Did you ask her to do the waka waka?
:story:

Jokes aside, I totally get that. My birthmon, being African, also spoke with a huge fucking accent that I somehow avoided inheriting - THANK GOD. So I, too, can mostly discern accents but this time, it was nigh impossible.

Not gonna lie, if she weren't a woman in her 70s i would've maybe fucked with her a little bit concering her accent. To her credit, she did say "Thank you" for whatever reason (or at least i think she did say that) after her annoyed headshake.

One of my cousins on my Italian side was the only in the whole fucking family who was German-born and rolled his R's like he was fresh off the boat for as long as he lived, both his brothers speak clear, accent free German despite not being born here. Not even my aunt and uncle roll the R as he did. Gear-grinder for sure :story:

Blue standby LEDs on any appliance or utility item. They are so obnoxious at night. Whoever thought of that should be forced to stare into the sun until their eyes are gone.
And corpo speak. Whenever I read an email or a press release where some asshole tries to package the bad news in glossy word salads I get violent urges.

You should blast back. Try this:

1771708751194.jpeg

Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model S&W500 Revolver, 3.5" barrel (9.9" overall length). 😍

If the brunt from the generosity-sized caliber doesn't get 'em, the acetylene torch shooting out front surely will.💪

1771709283066.jpeg
For those unfamiliar, 9mm is a "typical" caliber found in many pistols.

The revolver above uses ammo seen at the far right.

Top that with how many times they treat their kids to McDonalds, Burger King and some other take out restaurant. Then complain about the kids being fat. I see this in real time, where this family who lives a few doors down from me, I call them the Fat Family, because all of them from father to daughter, are wandering blobs of fat and they seemingly dine in on this shit by the regular.
