Continuing Rant Thread - Get it Off Ya Chest here

[Dave70]

What I hate is how the human race is showing how ******* gullible we are.

Eternal bliss anyone?

If you sequence them together like a flick-book animation, it becomes an awesome cardio routine.

Grrr tried to get my boss to hire local labour to soil sample an interstate trial site which we are wrapping up.

Instead flies me down at great expense (waste of money) now it is raining, I can't get on site. Will have to stay longer and /or fly home without the job done... and hire local labour to get it done anyway!

Ah. The joys.

Which way to the nearest pub.

 

[Droopy Brew]

Yes, I use facebook. It does a lot of good things, like me never having to know someones email address or phone number if I want to contact them... Also a good way of keeping in touch with groups, sporting associations rah rah rah..

What I hate is how the human race is showing how ******* gullible we are.

"For the first time in Facebook history we're giving away 5 Range Rovers ((for example). Its been 5 x 100ft luxury cruisers, 5 x 1st class travel tickets round the world etc) because we cant sell them due to... Just like and share, comment which colour" blah blah blah.

For a while I was commenting "its ********" or "tune your ******** radar" or "its a hoax" or "dont fall for that ****" And thats just to my mother's likes/shares/comments :unsure:

Anyway, I made a public post saying every single one of my FB friends that does this will be unfriended for being a dumbarse.

Didnt I cop the flame?! From morons saying, "you never know" to others saying "arent you the smartest xxx" Anyway I just wrote "defriended dopey"
Now I'm copping it from the wifey saying "No-one wants to be made to look stupid"

How ******* stupid do you have to be??? Seems I'm thinning out my friends to smart(er) people though....

Can i get an amen?

Yep, if theres one thing evangelicals know about, its high intensity cardio. And hopefully CPR.

I've never been on facebook and I cope.

Me also, some of the crap my missus shows me of what people post,including attacking others is unbloodybeleivable.
I'm surprised the cops aren't run off their feet, chasing people who have slapped the snot out of most of these morons who attack others in print.
Most of them need a manager so they can stop handling themselves.

 

[spog]

While writing I must have hit a wrong button, AHB asked if it could access my Twitter acc, well best of luck as I don't have one of those either.
Beer and ****s is all I need, oh and FF1.

 

[Stouter]

Never had facebook, never will. If people want to know what I'm doing I'll ring them, or visit them and tell them (or I'll post it on here for everyone to read h34r: ). Some of the gobshite on there, the needy, emotional plea's, and outpouring of people's daily *****. Couple that with the family and community feuding that goes on. It's a social experiment gone too far.

 

[pablo_h]

When FB was a new thing I got onto it, and other social media too.
Didn't really use FB too much but it came in handy when people wanted to form an offshoot from various forums, IE regulars at ref-eng or even customers at fasttech got together to form forums off-site it was handy, I bet even a few chilli growers went to an offsite group. Heaps easier than putting up a server and starting a proper forum like this, so good value. But I'm not involved online much these days.
Got involved early on twitter as that US brewing guy kept mentioning it in 2008. I think I congratulated Mark Webber a couple of times then abandoned my account in 2010 and then it was hijacked by a spammer LOL.

Ha ha, me to. Last time I checked, I had subscribed to over 10,000 different channels. Amazing, as I neither read nor speak Hindi.

May as well give it a go. The ****'s no use by that stage.

 

[wynnum1]

Sounds like a good time to start editing Wikipedia.

 

[altone]

I have FB - think I looked at it in May or June and Twitter probably September - although i do have over 1000 followers (WHY?)

Facebook's ok and can be handy to find people and info but Twitter to me is a complete waste of time.

Oh look <insert celebrity of choice> just had dinner at a restaurant! really? wgaf

They're all after your Boddingtons recipe.

As for twitter, you'd be surprised how quickly a company who is ******* you about jumps into action when you stick something up on twitter saying they're ******* you about. It's quite incredible. I use twitter to whinge at companies who are ******* me about and little else.

What a great idea, whinge to all my unknown followers around the world about someone who stuffs me around.
See, it does have a good use after all

edit: just checked I have 1435 followers of which I probably know a dozen - perfect forum to flame some dodgy company.

Same with facebook


Never really got Twitter...its kinds pointless

 

[pablo_h]

Twitter is pointless, but FB probably not as effective for that use.
Businesses or whomever can delete FB posts you make on their page.

My rant: I'm now drinking my last stout. It's going to be the last stout I drink until June at the earliest

 

[peekaboo_jones]

I agree with manticle and I'm pretty sure that the second hand smoke would not be much of a danger to your family from that distance unless they are smoking reefers the size arnies arms, I know how I'd respond if someone told me to stop smoking on my own property[emoji106]

Yeah fair call, I'm way out of line for even thinking it. I'm not going to ask them to stop smoking. We'll just put up with it and try and enjoy it whilst we can. You never know we may even begin to like it

 

[Droopy Brew]

Black Friday sales advertised for AUSSIE Home Brewer.

Please note the caps word above- we dont have thanksgiving and we dont have Black Friday. Looks like we are already stuck with **** like Valantines and Halloweens so spare us the rest.

Bah Humbug.
