    basically any tech company at this stage.

    Me: No I don’t want a thing.
    Tech: Ok we will check with you again in 2 weeks.
    Me: or you could stop?
    Tech: Na, we will see you in 2 weeks.

        I go on Microsoft.con:

        Cookies?

        Reject all.

        Load another page.

        Yeah but… Cookies?

        Fuck off already!!

          I want to make a joke about that typo, but I don’t want to tease.

          I also want to make a joke about going on microsoft.com being the first mistake, but I know there are occasionally reasons to do so.

          I guess with this comment, I’m trying to have my two cakes and eat them, too.

              Only necessary ones!

              Also, in culinary terms, cake is much more reliably and pleasantly textured than cookies. I expect this to not be a controversial statement in the least.

                Give me a sponge, give me tres leches, give me an angel food or shortcake smothered in fruit. I’d always rather cake than cookies, but keep that frosting shit to yourself. (Ooh I made it spicy ;) )

            I would suggest all the domain squatters should be legally required to use that TLD.

            Sadly I noticed the typo then fixed it. Then I saw the funny side myself and reverted the fix 👍

            Yes I went on the site because for some inexplicable reason my email my business account decided it wanted to put my girlfriend’s name as my account name (presumably it did this after she logged in her work account not long ago), and now everyone keeps referring to me by my girlfriend’s name 😂

            I wasn’t sure how to turn it back (turns out the outlook app lacks a LOT of features. Who knew?), and one of the search results linked to Microsoft’s help page.

            Ended up logging in via the browser to fix it. Stupid Microsoft.

                We all have to accommodate the funny. If we didn’t laugh at the world, we’d cry. If I can make just one person chuckle per day, it’s a good day ❤️

                And I’m happy I get to make that comment at 23:59 local time!

                  This is a lesson I learned both from the webcomic “Bob and George” and, later, TVTropes. In case either of those are unfamiliar to you, I strongly recommend both, with the caveat that either - especially the latter - can be a tremendous time sink.

          Microsoft: But how am I supposed to know you don’t want cookies without storing 29 cookies on your device?
