Sorry, the connection was choppy. Can you say that again?

[-] arken@lemmy.world 64 points 7 months ago

This is my go-to as well. "I'm sorry, my audio dropped out, I didn't quite catch that".

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 7 months ago

"No no, the last few minutes. Not just the last word. My Internet really sucks at the moment"

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 months ago

"Ich habe Sie akustisch nicht verstanden."

Just in case you are on with the German clients and you need the correct expression.

I’m stealing this. This is smooth as fuck.

So glad that my team is largely composed of busy tech folk because going "Sorry I was multitasking" is a valid response haha.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 37 points 7 months ago

Unless you've got some guy who knows multitasking is a bunch of bullshit and you just weren't paying attention and is enough of a dick to say it

[-] debil@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Multitasking (or multipasking as it is known to Finnish speaking people) is not bullshit, but trying to focus on several things at once and fucking up each one of them.

It really sucks that that makes you a dick, but yeah...

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Calling people out for lying about spacing out during boring and mostly meaningless meetings is kinda a dickish move. Worker solidarity and all.

It makes sense to do it if you're management, I guess, but even then... Help each other out. Middle management has more in common with the lower level workers than they do with upper management.

The dickish part is making a big deal about it in the video call, not acknowledging the reality itself

[-] gimpchrist@lemmy.world 55 points 7 months ago

Disassociate from a group, dissociate in your brains

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

For some of us, it’s both.

[-] stress_headache@lemmy.world 36 points 7 months ago

Can everyone see my screen?

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

Yes, but you accidentally shared the one with the porn.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 14 points 7 months ago
[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Sucking is kinda the point though.

I read it as a wild and free traveling cowboy, tricked by a sneaky man dressed as a rabbit. The rabbit-man invites him to a zoom call which in this world is inescable, bringing him to his fate as the boring businessman man in the last panel.

[-] dudinax@programming.dev 11 points 7 months ago

Are you an office drone dreaming you're a cowboy or a cowboy dreaming you're an office drone?

Sorry, I'm here but I'm not all there.

Fuck. I hate this. Stop it.

[-] ConstipatedWatson@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Guys, I'm embarrassed but I got to ask: can someone explain how it should be understood?

No, I'm not making fun of it. I legitimately don't understand it and I would like to.

From the other comments I get it's something about video calls at home and maybe people yelling while on them? I'm confused because the guy walking on the horse is also relevant (perhaps in minding his business and being disturbed by others yelling)?

[-] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 30 points 7 months ago

man was dissociating during a work zoom call while thinking about dissociating and whether it was "dissociating" or "dissasociating". he was pulled from his daydream by the person in the call asking him if Thursday was good. then they're all waiting for his answer and he doesn't even know what was asked.

Disassociate from somebody, or something you are associated with. Mentally dissociate. Is that right?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Reading the differences, I'm not sure I've experienced either. I don't even have a disconnect in thoughts and behavior when immersed in VR or when I attempt to meditate and reach that state intentionally. I've never been able to not think about something I don't want to. I just want to feel like I'm not in my body and forget a bunch of awful stuff... 😔

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I’ll tell you something that has worked for me, and it’s the only thing that works.

Music.

Learn enough to improvise and just dive into it. Today I fastforwarded through three straight hours banging drumsticks on plastic buckets at work. I can make whole days disappear just playing my guitar. I disappear completely and just get lost in the sound. It puts me in a trance and I forget I was ever a person.

It might not work for you, but wouldn’t it be rad if it did?

And don’t think it’s too late to learn. My ex sat down at a piano bench at 26 and said, “I want to learn this.” So she did. About a year later she said, “I’d like to learn to play your guitar.” She learned to play it and that’s what she did every evening for years.

Nothing takes me out of this world like playing music.

You're on mute!

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

This feels like the ending to Terry Gilliam's Brazil (the real ending, not the Americanized bullshit version).

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 4 points 7 months ago

The two prefixes (dis and as) mean the opposite, so when you choose one you need to remove the other
