I remember that in the days before I got a gmail invite, I very quickly learned to use Thunderbird for emails.

I heard a story and saw a photo of a literally frozen router (as in, partially submerged in ice) before. Didn't expect a literally (deep)fried one too.

Is that website something like The Onion for games?

Just recently I got a job offer where I had clearly stated I'm willing to work a maximum of 80%. When I went there to take a look before committing to it, they mentioned that because of the high amount of orders they have, they need everyone to put in an extra hour of work every day for the foreseeable future and I'd be expected to do the same.

My thoughts: Hey asshole, I even told you I'd prefer 75% and that the maximum of 80% is for health reasons, and you're here trying to push it to 90% on the sly?

Obviously I rejected the offer. And then they had the gall to report to the unemployment office that I wasn't willing to work the 80% they advertised as their minimum.

Edit: Good news was that I was able to land an all around better job just two days later.

Careful: it doesn't work if there's a user account with the same name

Yes, but there's context about why I asked

In this regard, I'm probably part of the old folks. I'm older than the WWW at least. I just figured I'd try asking ChatGPT with context instead of Google because I didn't want something I suspected to be Nazi terminology in my search history.

I was just surprised by how differently it reacted compared to when I tested it with alt history scenario requests a few months ago.

At least in German, there's even a term that translates to grill vegetables. Meaning zucchini, eggplant, ...

I quoted your comment to ChatGPT 3.5 and asked what you were referring to with "the 14 words". I've never seen it take so long to answer, and when it finally did, it was like watching someone else write in a shared Google doc, including watching words getting replaced. Maybe my question triggered a reply by an actual human?

I would be surprised if she came into this position without being either a psychopath or a sociopath. As such, all that truth distorting wouldn't damage her mental health. At worst she might feel overworked.
