We all curate our online selves, we do it in person to!

I spent a couple of weeks once telling people exactly how I feel most of the time zero filter

Didn’t go well … it was like watching people running into heavy fog …

Turns out knowing you are alone is actually worse than just thinking it

All political guests are only allowed to communicate their policies in mime

The interviewer makes guesses at what they are trying to say

No video broadcast only audio

Very rude of past Krissy to do that

Over here UK side we know CESG Cheltenham runs a net through all the chatter, would be insane to believe amurica don’t!

The IT power needed to do more than a key word & image dip is prohibitively massive

So no one is listening to sexy chat & wife n hubby rows 😀

Often the edit is 2 minutes work with the right access

Permission to do the 2 minutes work might take a week & a reasonable percentage of a tree, properly dated & notarised to get 😆

Very likely the basic call centre phone jockey isn’t trusted with that access

“We can’t edit it because of computer!” Is such bullshit

Any system has built in edit processes with sufficient access, personally I’ve been super user on systems that were UK gov critical controlled & there is always an edit route

Might take sign off by a CEO & a ton of time & paper

You do wonder if it once was aquamarine?

I have seen those drivers & as long as they are far enough away it funny

That’s a ‘my life is not your life!’ Moment

When others look on in shock as you do something by reflex, because of well developed skill set

We won’t judge … it’s ok to be picky 🤣

First struggles finding compromise

They expected a lifetime honeymoon instead of you know actual effort at stuff
November 10, 2025 at 8:13 AM
Oh totally … but it shouldn’t be a “he left his boxers on the floor” hair trigger thing 🤣

From memory they both quit when the first cloudy day happened

I remember when my wife & I got engaged one of her friends was getting engaged with a “well if it doesn’t work out we can divorce!”

They didn’t make it to anniversary ONE

Put in some FUCKING EFFORT people

Sometimes it’s big stuff, support through illness or grief

Sometimes it’s little crap like making sure the electric blanket is on so she has a warm bed after a night shift

Who knew bring a decent human was so controversial 🤷‍♂️

BadBoyWings … elite

Nice deep fried crispy wings, chips with gravy, habanero hot sauce & mayo

Only wing worth a damn

Next time you are ‘in office’ take some background of desk shots

Set as teams background when out of office and confuse the fuck out of everyone
