Last night, I told our VP that we shouldn't be associated with FIFA; on our internal, company wide, social platform. - Lemmy.ca

I work at a very large multinational corporation with a republican CEO/founder that’s publicly supported Trump in the past. One of the VPs posted to our ‘all company’ community about a contest, creating an art piece including the company logo, to potentially be featured at a FIFA fan festival. Winner gets some tickets to a FIFA game or a cash equivalent. I responded with a link to an article about FIFA creating a ‘peace prize’ to kiss Trumps ass with and said that we should not affiliate ourselves with FIFA and that I would not participate. I stand by that opinion; but posting it like that may have just gotten me fired… I went back in this morning to delete it as fast as I could when It dawned on me just how badly I fucked up. Edited the comment to remove its contents, then deleted the comment. It’s Sunday morning; hopefully I got back to it before it was seen by too many and hopefully before it comes back to bite me. I need my job. I can’t afford to job hunt again right now. I need to learn to shut the fuck up.

Damn, i categorize this one under "#TIFU".

Somehow the family managed to talk me into watching #Threads (#movie, 1984) together.

With the current situation of the world let me just say: NOPE that was NOT a great idea.

TIFU big time by not knowing what I wanted

TIFU big time by not knowing what I wanted - Lemmy.World

Ye TIFU big time, not only today but the next years to come. I always thought I wanted kids, but after we married I started realising I don’t want kids. I like the freedom I have, playing video games, going to gym, travel,… all with only my wife. My TIFU: I realised way too late after marrying and building a house that wanting kids will never be what I want. I always listened to people: “That will change, believe me”; “When your older you will!” The thought of a kid might be good sometimes, but the more I think of it the worse it gets. I had to talk with my wife and she started crying, understandable. We are now in our house, I still love her and she still loves me but the kids problem is a huge problem cause she only wants kids with me. She is now 33, already “old” for kids. I think I destroyed everything. I can’t change somehow that I don’t want kids, I was hoping that my thoughts of “Yeah maybe in future, would be cool” would turn into something I’d do anything for. But it’s just not happening and I feel like I lived a lie to her, giving her wrong hopes and we married, built house,… It’s nothing I couldn’t solve though, I just feel bad for her and I feel like I should just give her a kid before her chance vanishes. I don’t think she will find a new man in a while to get kids right away. She is already 33.

TIFU by hitting 'submit' on mandatory training feedback and sending a profanity-laced rant to the whole company

Update: I was very confident I was close to getting it working without the original software and uhh.

Pro tip: if you send too many ones to the printer and it prints a puddle and you go "oh shit, guess i'll go research some more" at least clean the fucking thing immediately.

This piece of modern art likely cost ~$900 to make. Do you think if we strap a banana to that we could recoup some of it.

Or we can press it on a t-shirt (the original! that's what it's for!) and put it halfway through a shredder?

TIFU by tanning topless in front of my dad ?

TIFU by tanning topless in front of my dad ? - Lemmy.World

My father was visiting me and we spent the day at the lake, a rare 23 degree Celsius day. My husband was with us which is why I saw no problem. We rented a pedal boat and enjoyed the lake, but I did not have a bikini and the boys just went in their boxer shorts in the water. I felt it was okay to just drop my dress and swim/tan, but now I got a call from my mom as my dad clearly snitched . Like… did i do wrong ?

TIFU by corrupting my Zen browser install while trying to download track only available on toneden - Lemmy.World

Wanted to download track where seems only surviving upload’s on some stupid site called toneden where you’ve follow artist’s Spotify + sub to newsletter to “unlock” download - Track’s not uploaded anywhere on YouTube - Not on artist’s (Bandcamp|other music service) - Purged from artist’s sound cloud page First steps: 1. Create throwaway Spotify 2. Create archive.org [http://archive.org] account so wen download , can make publicly available for peops who want it without toneden stupidity 3. Go to track page try following toneden’s instructions 4. Spotify auth window stays white never loads 5. Tried toggling off some add ons (request control → canvas blocker → violentmonkey) . No dice 6. Temporarily removed custom ubo filters . No dice Would hafta create new temp profile with only basic ubo config to hopefully get every thing working , here’s how that went 1. Accidentally set profile directory to rꝏt folder of zen browser install , thinking it would automaticly create folder with that profile in it 2. Tried deleting profile thinking it wouldn’t remove core files 3. Tried creating profile in different location 4. Remains stuck 5. LꝏK in zen installation folder , most items deleted 6. Items missing from profile folder I normally use 7. Tried asking for help in Zen’s discord , no response Devastating if Can’t roll back , didn’t take any recent profile backups . Don’t want to lose hard work with custom userChrome TL;DR : Wanted to (download|archive) track only available on toneden → Accidentally corrupted Zen browser install Fuck toneden and similar services

#TIFU by thinking a typing error in #Python can be fixed by casting an int into bytes using bytes(int), not realising the function actually returns a byte object of size int. This caused my console to vomit out an eight-million-long sequence of bytes, which I did *not* expect, and accidentally closed the console window without killing the terminal.

I actually did this twice because I forgot to save the file after I removed it, causing the PTY host to crash.

TIFU by contemplating pooping near my SO

TIFU by contemplating pooping, near my SO - Lemmy.World

Today as me and my SO were coming home from a morning walk, I felt a fart coming through. As they were unlocking the door, I stood there, letting the fart slowly make it’s way out. Feeling the fart nearing it’s destination, i started contemplating going all the way and just going to the bathroom. Finally, the fart leaves me, the noisy street and the distance between us was enough to ensure my stealth. Suddenly I notice that my SO is looking at me with a slight giggle. “Whats funny?” I ask, fearing that I overestimated my stealthiness. “I know what you are thinking right now.” They reply with a giggle. I slightly freak out not knowing what they think I’m thinking, because in my head I had no thoughts that were related to us right now. “What do you mean?” I ask, slightly scared “You are figuring out if you need to poop, right?” “What?? How TF can they know that??” I ask myself as I get flustered and confused. Eventually they tell me that I have a “Contemplating Poop” face and that they always know if I’m considering taking a dump. Anyway…

TIFU by trusting Apple and losing 2 months’ work

TIFU by trusting Apple and losing 2 months’ work - Lemmy Today

I use Apple Books app to read a PDF textbook. I highlighted a lot of stuff on around 500 pages of small font text. I sync all my progress to iCloud. Yesterday, I turned off Wifi during reading to focus on studying. Today, I opened the app and clicked on the book but it didn’t open. I tried troubleshooting for the whole afternoon but couldn’t get the file to open. I essentially have to reread 500 pages and highlight everything again. Always, always back up your work.
