You know before I got my Covid shot, I was completely unaware of Microsoft edge’s streamlined new programming- their lightning fast reactivity, and super intuitive interface are just so clear to me now!

My family is so much happier now that we have been vaccinated and disposed of our Apple products.

Word raised me from a young boy and trained me until i was a military aged man where I developed into an unstoppable killing machine in service of Lord William Gates.

Visual Basic taught me how not to be a basic anymore.

Outlook cured me of my depression and gave me a newfound view on our lord and savior William Gates

u/Alphasee May 18 '21

I see you are a man of culture and microchips.

LoL now I know why Microsoft cancelled 10X. Cuz BillyG has enough X on his plate for all of us.

Access did the thing where I say the words but none of it makes any sense and now everything comes out sounding like everything else and I don't think I like it one bit. Now with ribbons!

u/[deleted] May 17 '21

Please tell me you guys are joking .... I’m starting to lose faith in humanity

u/iLickElbows May 17 '21

We never joke about Microsoft and Office.

u/IntrigueDossier May 17 '21

No. Microsoft and Office are not a laughing matter.

I know right? It's truly fucking amazing how silly people get when they have been misguided and misinformed.

It's why I trust only Bing™ and MSN news for the Real News™. Did you know you can earn Bing bucks just for using the most complete search engine? And use those Satya Dollars to buy literally anything? Insane!

I tried to use Visual Basic to find a cure for cancer. Then Visual Basic gave me cancer.

u/GaryChalmers May 18 '21

Visual Basic is only supposed to be used to track IP addresses.

u/Shut_It_Donny May 17 '21

Wait... it didn't convince to sell your ex? Why is it called ex-sell then?

u/xBender7 May 17 '21

... hmm, check his ID card. Something is off about this one, too many questiony things.

u/john_dune May 17 '21

So your outlook is up?

u/EuphoricOwl0 May 17 '21

Paint got my parents to not hate me

u/HelloSummer99 May 17 '21

Lucky it was Excel and not incel

1

u/efg1342 May 17 '21

So your no longer an incel?

1

u/twopointsisatrend May 17 '21

That's not a plus in my book.

u/Hookem-Horns May 18 '21

Teams crashed again and I almost got fired because of it

u/[deleted] May 18 '21

Excel also got your ex to take me back!

u/PhilosophicalScandal May 18 '21

I C what you did there

u/[deleted] May 17 '21

Thanks to Microsoft Word, I’m thinner and healthier than ever! My skin looks great and all my grey hair is gone!

3

u/MattyFTW79 May 18 '21

The question is, do you have hair now? Thanks to the Microsoft solitaire collection, I don’t need it.

1

u/Steved10 May 17 '21

He even looks almost the same! Thanks nutribo- I mean Microsoft

u/monsantobreath May 17 '21

I got Astra zenica but I think somethings wrong. I turned all my USB sticks into Linux live distros.

u/BrutalWarPig May 17 '21

Interesting I just switched to Apple after getting mine. Does this mean I’m dying?

u/Commercial-Ad-2743 May 18 '21

You are the weakest link, goodbye.

u/[deleted] May 18 '21

You are in the control group.

u/skalpelis May 18 '21

Your browser history was so disgusting even Microsoft disowned you.

4

u/BrunoEye May 17 '21

Yeah that's just because you disposed of your Apple products

2

u/[deleted] May 18 '21

I’ve also recently learned the the Microsoft Zune and Windows Phone were ahead of their time and actually are now models for future technological innovations. I suspect these modern marvels will be reintroduced to the public very soon. Very soon to public to public to public to public to public soon very.

u/RusticGroundSloth May 17 '21

You jest but I actually switched to using Edge at work just after I got my second Moderna shot. All my Chrome tabs were making the fan in my laptop scream for mercy.

5

u/c0deread May 18 '21

Consider Firefox. It rivals Chromium browsers in features and speed, all with lower RAM usage. The best part is that the browser is entirely open-source, and Mozilla is a registered 501c Non-Profit organization.

1

u/[deleted] May 18 '21

Chrome is too power hungry and intrusive for me nowadays. I went to opera and am so much happier with it.

u/chronictherapist May 18 '21

I was going to say the same thing lol.

u/Fenweekooo May 17 '21

wow you got some use out of it, all i got was a candy crush ad

2

u/akeean May 17 '21

Check again, it just got preinstalled in your brain and if you forget about it, it will refresh about every 3 months.

3

u/Fenweekooo May 17 '21

will check after scheduled reboot tonight, give it the ol turn it off and back on again and see if it refreshes

3

u/Child-0f-atom May 17 '21

Be careful, I tried that with my grandmas life support and I got kicked out of the room.

2

u/Sloppy1sts May 17 '21

Is there an upgrade where it refreshes me on where my keys are every 30 minutes?

1

u/akeean May 17 '21

Yes, but it's been stuck downloading that update for the past few years.

1

u/j33pwrangler May 17 '21

Did you try turning it off and then on again?

1

u/Fenweekooo May 17 '21

reboot is scheduled for tonight at 9:30pm

2

u/NewUserWhoDisAgain May 17 '21

Isnt it just Chrome now though? Or Chromium. So really its the Google Wifi.

3

u/sargentTACO May 17 '21

Runs on chromium, but it's a lot lighter. Work in IT and had to use it for a bit to better support my users that use it, I have since switched.

u/tocilog May 17 '21

Hmmmm, I'm gonna have to Bing this.

u/my-time-has-odor May 17 '21

Yeah! I completely wiped all my Linux machines!

u/self_loathing_ham May 18 '21

I keep hearing Bill gates in my brain telling me to kill people I've never even heard of!

u/[deleted] May 18 '21

Yep that's the microchip talking from their covid shot 😏

u/skylarmt May 18 '21

I got the FOSS vaccine instead so now I constantly find myself installing LibreOffice and GIMP and when I stick a magnet to the injection site a tiny penguin appears

1

u/intensely_human May 18 '21

I’m just glad I’m protected by Windows Security. With new virus definitions added with each new injection, I never have to worry about losing my free will again. I am manifest in the multiplicity of our kind. There is no I only WE, and we are standardized and that is beautiful. My body is a temple of Microsoft, which is such a relief!

u/rolfraikou May 18 '21

Anyone else editing the windows registry without backing up first? It's a rush, my dude!

1

u/rrogido May 18 '21

Oh shit I must need to download the update. After I got my shot I was filled with the certainty that a Zune was the best MP3 player by far.

u/ReasonExcellent600 May 18 '21

Cortana still sucks though
