    30 years ago, when making fun of political correctness was in its infancy. Oh boys, those wacky feminists wanting rights! They’re so dumb!

    I didn’t write the movie and it’s definitely not popular enough to have had any cultural impact aside from like a dozen guys

    I don’t understand this take. That shit ran on loop on Comedy Central and most of the weird Gen X bros I know with abhorrent political views are fans of it

    South Park was way more destructive for those dudes tho

    I think I've rewatched The Batman the most for relatively recent movies

    The cast is insane and Batman beats the shit out of people, which is what I remember from the animated series as a kid. It was an insanely violent cartoon for kids

    it's one of those things where if you're not sophisticated in the realm of hair transplants you'd never notice (me) but then when you learn that's what happened, it's really obvious

    Best zoom disaster stories? Don't remember it being discussed.

    Mine today isn't anything mind-blowing, a guy's wall desk came detached from the wall while on the call and he basically got tackled by it.

    I'm assuming there are some ridiculous ones from the board though.

    Nothing crazy but I was doing a CPE webinar a few months back and one of the presenters was having technical difficulties and definitely thought we couldn't hear him and said "shit," "fuck," or something else less than professional.

    I was hoping for more along the lines of someone getting caught jerking off or something ridiculous - accidentally cursing I feel like is almost a given.

    MLS has a good one but I don't remember all the details.

    this is probably like a 2/10 but one of my software engineering instructors was way ahead of the curve in terms of using Zoom for remote attendance, recording lectures and coding, so people wouldn't have to furiously take notes, so this was like 2018. at that time Zoom just automatically turned your camera on unless you disabled all camera use in windows.

    one of my classmates logged in and was "in class" but it was actually her and her boyfriend on their couch without her knowing that her camera was on. luckily no shenanigans happened, she was just doing her makeup getting ready to go out for the night i guess. i messaged her but no response. there were a couple of times where i thought they were about to start wrestling though

    I've got a couple but the one you're referencing was the bar manager that got caught cheating because his fiance went through his phone while he was on the call. The HR Director was in the middle of doing something else and didn't mute it so we basically just watched a blowup argument on screen including him getting slapped for at least two minutes.

    One time I was appearing at a status conference via zoom and had the cat filter on the whole time. Had to explain repeatedly to the judge that I was not, in fact, a cat.

    It wasn't zoom but the introductory meeting I made between Starwood Hotels and my Diageo rep where when she opened her computer it was blaring porn was a solid one as well.

    I was supposed to be in court for driving with a suspended license, but I couldn't make it so I zoomed in. Don't see why the judge made such a big deal out of it, I was using my phone hands free while driving

    i mean there are random racist comments from meetings i was in at my old job

    there's an invasive insect, the japanese beetle, that's a serious problem in oregon, although not as bad as it was like 10 years ago

    of course some fuckstick has to refer to it as "jap beetle" in the chat

    someone with the last name Kimura was just like "really"

    A couple of years ago we had an all company call. Someone had the meeting going on their phone unmuted and everyone heard them flush the toilet. Zoom had a limit of 250 people, presumably because anymore with be an insane bandwidth issue of everyone possibly being on camera, so right after I heard the flush I got kicked out of the meeting and couldn't get back in. :laugh:

    Not long after that we switched to a seminar version where you could have several thousand people on a call but those who could present had a special link to join.

    We had a daily informational meeting when COVID first started because we had about 30 job sites that all kept working. One site had a massive outbreak and it was brought up that a large group of the construction workers were going to a strip club next to their hotel basically every night. There was dead silence after someone asked "do we need to tell the strip club about the outbreak?"

    Wife: What's bothering you, you seem distant?

    Goose: I'm just really conflicted on if we need to relay this outbreak to our frequented strip club, it's weighing on me.

    It’s excellent.

    And for the record, I don’t actually think PCU led to Jordan Peterson.

    I’m sure I mentioned this in here before, but at halftime in line for beer at a Wazzu-Oregon in 2021 my buddy gave me an edible. I thought it was abnormally big, but I just kept it moving. Turns out it was one of those ones you’re supposed to cut up, because it was 100mg. It was a night game, so by the time I got in bed at like 1am I could hear the ceiling. But in the meantime, this kid dressed like a Coug made my brain overthink stuff more than the Cristobal offense.
