I’d like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn
Morning, I mean

I don't even own a LinkedIn,
and so far my life appears to have been unencumbered by this omission.

By which I also mean Morning.

I’m sure it’s useful for some people

I don’t have a LinkedIn either
and now I’m wondering if that explains why I’m in a crap unrewarding job with little chance of promotion or advancement.

It could also just be that I’m lazy and spend most of my working day wasting time on the internet.

So anyway, morning.

I deactivated mine as absoulte pricks will figure out your work email address and spam you,
LinkedIn now handily emails me once a month to tell me my account is deactivated.

I've never once got a job through LinkedIn and I've had a shit load of jobs.

How do you pronounce it?
I always called it 'Linked-In" but I've heard people say "Link-Id-In". I don't think that's right.

I often pronounce Les Paul like it's French
but then, I'm a fucking cunt!

That should be "Les Pauls", though.

I think you must mean Fewer Pauls.

she doesn't sound great

She was born in 1905
bless her. Any judgements about her pronunciation of the title of a Los Angeles-based legal drama ought to be seen in the light of her vintage.

I do miss the old dear.

My ex used to say 'Link-Link'
but that's because she was a bit of a spastic.

“People willing to go out with the sort of people you get on b3ta”
is a group that naturally self-selects for spastics and mongs.

what's wow? the reasonably competent sculpture or the mundane bench they're incongruously attached to?

(, Fri 28 Mar 2025, 10:45, Reply)
I don't know. The wow is just... surprise.
It's impressive sculpting a horse's head with a chainsaw but ... a Β£3k bench? Advertised on Facebook Marketplace.

I found it while looking for a cheap second-hand pressure washer, so, not really what I was after.
