Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

I might have pissed off a senior tech who sent me Google's summary of why some unexpected action was occurring.

The summary missed the point of what was happening, and suggested to look in irrelevant places to resolve it.

I researched the issue myself, found a few red herrings that may have both been bad generated text pasted as solutions in Microsoft's answers they seemed to support these answers. The final point was somewhat close, but still off.

My response was a detailed dive into the topic, referencing several sources, covering each item and an explanation of how generated summaries have caused me more frustration than it's worth.

He hasn't responded to my message, or my other requests about the project recently.
