That sucks - I keep hearing that kind of thing from more and more people, the last person telling me that in Canada. Fwiw, it is a Saturday Night Live sketch, poking fun at ourselves as to how we inconsistently use measurement schemes, like some less popular sports use meters, but the most popular ones use the English ones like feet. I wonder why it is blocked, wherever you are.

If anyone knows, I would be interested in hearing: like should I not share YouTube videos anymore these days? Or only share/avoid certain corporate types? (Whereas certain others such as CPG Grey's videos would truly be a tragic loss if they could not be shared) I presume Piped videos would likewise be blocked too? Are they blocked only in certain countries, or like most ones outside of the USA? Is the URL still useful, like to put into Vanced or some such, or would something else help better like the title, or again should I just not share them? I don't know any of these answers but in any case, thank you for sharing with me your experience here.

Oh no, think of how that will affect your coworkers!?

That might have been some kind of fad in 1999, when that movie (Office Space) came out? I dunno, it was before my time. But I choose instead to think it was perhaps intentional, to help make this guy a highly visible parody of just an absolute dick. Ofc, both of those things could be true at the same time - it may have been those type of people that liked to wear that type of clothing style!:-P

I know in some places, like Texas, they seem to presume that you have a tall truck. Anyone with even a normal-height vehicle is thereby put at a severe disadvantage, especially when you try to see past the tall truck that has pulled way far FORWARD past the line, just to stop at a red light.

i.e., it is for measuring the size of one's dick, even (especially?) for women drivers. Learn to swing it proud, or else never get anywhere in those places!

I heard that your mother is smaller than Egypt!

If someone told you to just use Windows on your computer, b/c it will take care of you, would you listen?

There is some truth to both statements, but in any capitalist society it behooves one to be aware, since many people and especially corporations will try to take advantage of ignorance.
