What is it with YouTube and Lego?

I haven't been interested in Lego since I was four years old but every time I login to YouTube it recommends another bunch of Lego videos despite me repeatedly clicking "not interested" and "don't recommend channel".

Also I searched on Google ( who incidentally own YouTube) for clues as to why they do this and was greeted with nothing but recommendations for even more lego videos!

It usually follows your viewing or twitter experience….. you following Simon Gilbert?

Why?

When I've got a chesty cold, I regularly spit.

I try not to spit in front of other people, but surely getting the virus bearing phlegm out of your body is better then keeping it in.

That’s fucking disgusting

They are blocked, these are official recommendations from YouTube and Google search engines.

Can you spit into a tissue instead? Thanks

Americans (usually) who refer to Lego as "Legos/Legoes". It's a fucking obligate singular you ignorant cunts!

That is a fancy word and I'd like to use it in conversation at some stage.

However, can you confirm the pronunciation please (hard G like vague, or soft G like forage)?

I'm still scarred from the time I casually dropped hyper-bowl into a chat down the pub one Friday.

Have you got kids or anyone else using your account? Or you could just give it a go and bring back some childhood memories

Afraid not.

People who insist on ringing all of the time as well as emailing. Just because you ring up 2 minutes after sending it, it doesn't mean it's going to make any difference to when I do it. Annoying pricks.

People who set up half hour Zoom meetings for what could be a three message chat on Slack.

On that note, had to go to a school meeting about a trip.

It was 6PM, no point going home and then back out so sat in my car for an hour and waited.

Gave a print out and then read through it.

JUST FUCKING EMAIL ME IT INSTEAD OF WASTING MY TIME YOU CUNTS!

Norovirus.

Almost worse when it's not me suffering, but am the one woken on the hour every hour by the sound of someone throwing up into the toilet bowl.

I had it a while back, I just gave in and lay in the bath for the night and occasionally washed.

It's the devil!

Plus it feels a bit like the sword of damocles hanging over me, with the inevitability it'll come for me at some point!

I think remote working has created a culture of people setting up Teams / Zoom whatever calls of a fixed period so as to to be seen as busy while working from home.

Being asked to 'chip in' or 'temporarily pick up slack' for random shit at work that is nothing like your JD which then eventually become your responsibility.

I don't mind extra work and more challenging shit but if you want me to perform 3 different roles then I'm going to get annoyed you're not being me 3 different salaries.

Sounds like a union matter

I get this all the time where I am. Someone leaves, or gets made redundant / sacked, and its 'we'll just see how we get on'. Of course what that really means is dump the extra work on me and that persons salary disappears.

People, especially line managers, who set up a meeting with “catch-up” or “quick chat” as the topic, leaving me to think I’m going to get sacked and then leaving me unprepared for whatever it is they actually want.

Do they think people like the mystery or something?

Especially popular with managers who have a job that doesn't really need to exist.

Such ambiguity is totally unprofessional and you should call them out for it.

I had it TWICE many years ago although the second dose was not nearly as bad as the first, must have developed a resistance? Fortunately there was no one else living in the property at the time.

Just ask them what the meeting is about. One of my colleagues refuses to go to any meeting unless it is clear what it's about.

The ever increasing and vomit inducing shite that gets posted on LinkedIn. Just saw a post from someone who felt the need to tell the world their father called at 05:00am and, while he was “angry at first” he felt thankful his dad thought of him. Pointless, inane self serving crap.

I thought LinkedIn was for work based shite?

Every time I've seen something from Linkedin it's complete twats

How I run a successful startup!

Wake at 4am for a coco pop enema
Attack the day, each day you are blessed to wake up is an opportunity
Put the work in! Be the first to arrive and the last to leave
My dad is rich and paid for all of it

It's made recruiters jobs a lot easier.

Tbh, if you then do that work, it’s clear you weren’t busy enough before

It is but given that it brings out even more excessive self promotion than other social media.
