I’m a Brit. I was in Italy recently, and oh my fucking god, American girls are so fucking annoying. I’m sure they are as sincere as anyone, but the many conversations I overheard sounded so basic and vacuous.

It got to a point where I was convinced the same group of early 20-somethings were going to all the same places that we were.

Brie, bacon, redcurrant jelly on a crusty baguette. Heaven.

I think you mean best tattoo of all time

Boiled, please.

They?

Whoever said it third, dropped the turd.

Sounds like something someone with a little PP would say

I use acronyms to similar effect.

For example, when writing a shopping list.

And then I’m in the supermarket wondering what the fuck KR, IC and SS are?

Dunno, OP sounds kinda kinky.

Loan words? Dude, you’re loaning the entire language.

Man, if that’s her real name, the spoonerism is just too much.

Because fuck Spez, that’s why.

Yeh, me. I don’t really think in words. More like visualisations of what I’m doing, have been doing, or are going to do.

I’ve seen you around Lemmy for a little while now. Why do you insist on referring to yourself in the 3rd person?

Part of my job (fibre project engineer) is to oversee the building of fibre optic spine cables. Think of an 864 fibre cable snaking it’s way through town with various drop off nodes for local access networks to be built.

I also oversee the termination of the cable in the exchange, and the testing of the spine to make sure it’s within loss limits and that the right fibres are going to the right nodes.

I will often put a minor fault on in the exchange to see if the guys doing the testing pick up on the issue and report it back to me. Maybe a slightly dislodged connector, or fibre 275 crossed with fibre 276, for example.

Most of the time, the guys doing the testing will pickup on the issue and resolve it report it back to me. If it doesn’t get picked up on, I’ll make sure I keep a closer eye on the build crew.

He turtley did

Well, it’s better than nothing.

The lav. The bog. The crapper. The kharzi. The shitter. The toilet.
