She has the smile of a door-to-door salesman.

If only that Indian cab driver knew who he was dealing with when trying to make small talk. The nerve!

it’s 2020 and the main form of criticism that you guys can form about a powerful/prominent woman is jibes about her appearance.

did you give scalia’s wardrobe a critical eye as well?

you guys must all be in loving and highly constructive relationships with women.

calling women crazy or irrational is a misogynist trope. you can't even be nice without condescending to women.

a woman who has made her way to the very top of the legal profession is probably pretty rational, at least in her professional life.

there's a helluva lot to disagree with in her legal judgments and moral-ethical outlook, but calling her 'crazy' is just plain chauvinism. why is it women are always crazy when they're smart, intelligent, challenging, etc? AOC, that crazy bitch! evidently they're not crazy and are actually highly qualified and successful.

sorry dilbert, do better.

Why can't you be aware of both? The president's face reminds me of an old paper bag and Moscow Mitch looks like a Dick Tracey villain, but that's hardly my primary concern about either of them. Bojo looks like he lost a fight with a suck cut. Manuel Noriega was also known as "Pineapple Face."

I mean with dilbert or mac it's probably a good bet to comment "sexism" to some extent, but that isn't always going to be the case when someone comments on appearances. Her expression, while it's more or less a normal photograph, is telling me that she, representing a roofing company, was just in the area and wants to schedule me for a free estimate. To say nothing of how distressful it is having RBG replaced by a Trump pick.

From wiki,



Room full of grins, nominating a replacement for a dead official less than a week after her death?

I am not a sexist. I am a big supporter of women's rights.

are you dumb? what sort of fucking argument is that? 'lol people mocked trump when he was doing an impression of a disabled person, was that sexist?'

you are literally looking at a photo of a smiling woman and making fun of her. how is that the same thing?

a 'sales face'? the fuck is that? she's in a law library backdropped by leather-bound codices. what sort of sales woman comes to your door in Asinine, Washington?

i am not a fan of her at all. but denigrating and dismissing women from the off-set because of they are 'crazy' or because of some superficial aspect is a deeply conservative (small c) and time-worn tradition. i mean, you're electing a hardline christian to the supreme court, a woman whose legal opinions and rulings betoken decades of slideback on civil rights issues ... and your criticism is of her practiced pose to a camera? ok.

I accidentally shared a confidential document with someone outside our department (still the same organisation, thankfully) by cc'ing the wrong guy who shared the same name as the originally intended recipient. There was a meeting invite in there too.

Instead of mailing back that he was the wrong guy, the dude even joined the call to announce that he probably shouldn't receive this stuff but thought it was very interesting.

I now have to report a security breach.
And he embarrassed the fuck out of me in front of my boss

Kill me now

The guy is probably a secret gay and likes you. So this was his way of getting your attention. Be careful with your food and drinks in the office.

Or you could do what an IT guy at my last job did when he accidentally sent out a spreadsheet with a lot of confidential info on the second tab to his entire company.

Manually reset everyone's password, login to their account, and delete the email.

One time I sent a Skype message to the wrong recipient. I was talking shit on a collegue and I accidentally sent it to the person I was talking about. This was before Skype allowed the sender to delete messages, so I had to go to her desk and delete the message from her PC efore she saw it.

Classic. Where’s that Seinfeld clip..?

if you are referring to my post, skype is a messaging platform, not an email service.

I can't remember exactly what it said but the person I was talking about was lazy and one of those people that are just worried about punching in and punching out for the day, so it was likely something about her work ethic.
