        jv works?

        With the way ChatGPT is going, not for too much longer he doesn't. Behold:

        Me: I want you to respond to every one of my prompts with a snappy one-liner, where the one-liner either has questionable relevance to anything I said, or hyper-fixates on a specific word that also has nothing to do with the actual conversation but makes for some easy gimme-style jokes. Within the one-liner, have one word in bold (where, ostensibly, you'll use the bold font for emphasis, but actually just randomly pick whatever word you want here). Use markdown formatting for bold: that is, the bold word should be surrounded by exactly two asterisks on either side (like this).

        Me: What happens when you realise your new boss uses ozbargain and you have been roasting him/her for years?

        ChatGPT: Ozbargain?! More like Oz-bring-the-pain.

          This is jv…. Perfection…

        • +12

          Those instructions 😙🤌

        • +2

          Addendum: do not use exclamation marks and write in an inexpressive style that relies entirely on bold words for accentuation

        jv works?

        JV's 101,622 comments since 01/01/2009 works out to around 19.5 comments per day, so yeah, JV works his ass off to keep the the OzBargain community's daily quota of negative votes depleted.

        I'm surprised Scotty hasn't officially hired JV as some kind of community morale officer who could be used to defuse tense forum arguments and spicy threads by simply having JV post a bunch of his typical dad jokes/throwaway one-liners in them, thus triggering everyone to focus their negativity onto him instead of each other. Something like a modern-day Pharmakos.

          Meanwhile you're employed by NVIDIA to roast former crypto folks, I guess.

        • How do you know scotty and JV are not the same person?

    Get back to work Donald.

    Sincerely,
    Your boss

      ok Melania

      • Not gonna lie…. kinda a hot name to be honest.

        • +53

          kinda a hot name to be honest.

          Sounds like Melanoma.

          Very hot…

        • Two pinions on the meaning of the name. (1) Someone who haunts dreams, and (2) black.
          Opposites do attract.

      • you don't mean Putin?

  • +8

    Oh, yeah. Well, see the thing about that is-

    jumps out the window

    Time for a new Username, and Email, Donald. ;)

    First off remove your location in your profile lmao

    • who the hell puts the real location?

      • +17

        Me. I'm in Melbourne. There's over 5 million people in Melbourne.

        • +3

      • +11

          Do you own a basebal franchise in Springfield? Mesquite grilled onions. Jalapeño relish…Wait a minute, those are Southwestern ingredients….Mango-lime salsa? That’s the kind of bold flavor they enjoy in Albuquerque!

        • +1

          LOL….so many people visit the house that the real owner got pissed off.

        • I'll be the next one who knocks then.

      • +1

        Me. I live in Sydney.

      • +2

        just left mine blank but ozbargain edit profile tab states

        Where you are located. Please put your city's name, e.g. "Sydney", "New York", "Beijing", or just your state, i.e. "NSW", "TAS" and not your full address. A false declaration of your location may lead to your account being banned.

      • +3

        It does help when you are asking for the best place to buy something, posting a deal that might be specific to your location and it isn't obvious where that is, asking about laws that vary from state to state, etc.

  • Firm faeces I'd say

    • What's that on a scale from one to seven?

    • Bring out the poo knife

    My wife and I regularly roast each other. Isn't that right @spackbace?

    • +49

      True, she's constantly complaining about you when she comes over

      • Wait… I thought it was just me…

      • +1

        It's the key to a happy marriage :)

        I also choose this guy's wife

      Wait, your wife is @spackbace?

        He knows my wife really well 😏

  • Just don't let your boss know that you know!

  • +6

    Increase roasting

    • +4

      Targeted, specific passive aggressive roasts.

      Actually, that's also a good name for a brand of coffee beans.

      • +1

        I'd like to try your Passive Aggressive Dark Roast in a piccolo latte thanks

  • +2

    Double down and turn up the roasting.
    Its much more fun when you know who it is, but they are still in the dark.

  • +3

    links to these 'roasts' ?

  • +2

    6269 comments to check to see who your boss is
    then blackmail you or i will inform them that you have been using ozbargain too much

    the plan is solid!
    off to work i go :P

    • asking for a friend of a friends wife

    • Could be worse, you could have to sift through mine ;)

      • +3

        or… jv…

  • +6

    Keep roasting but start adding in stuff to screw with his head. Like "Gee I like your socks", or "I'd never be seen wearing plaid", etc. :)

  • +1

    When he comments on OzB, repeat similar comments in person. Mention great deals that he's commented on. Now you have a new bestie.

    When in 5 years he finally uncovers the truth, the relationship is in tatters. You've won the roast battle!

    If your boss is Scotty, then you only have yourself to blame.

    Validates douche in virtual world is also a douche in the real world…?

    Could apply to new lover, father in law

    For Tasmanian users this be one and the same

  • +1

    The real question is do they have fully comp car insurance?

    • No, but their skills with MSPaint are pretty good

  • +3

    why is your boss looking for deals?

    • Not paid enough just like the rest of us

    • If he's logged on to OzBargain, perhaps typing a comment where you see his user name…

      …you catch a glimpse of their screen and see their name.

  • Only one word of advice ( or three actually)…. BROWSER - HISTORY - DELETE ( and maybe splurge on a VPN ).🤣🤣

  • +7

    "Keep quite" what? The suspense is killing me.

    Your new boss uses ozbargain

    You catch a glimpse of their screen

    You then realise you have been roasting them on and off for years

    Are you sure your new boss isn't going to now work out that you're said person based on that information and this thread? Lets not forget, it's a small world. You probably should have used a throw-away account for this one hahaha

  • It's not hard to piece together a profile of an individual by sifting over many years of posts and comments that may reveal personal information about them. If it was up to me, I would periodically like a brand new account, but that's the quickest way to get banned by the mods.

  • Continue roasting and add more spices to each and every roast. It's gonna be tasty.

  • +3

    Next post: ADVICE NEEDED - got fired/demoted from my current position with no reason!

  • Completely an Utterly GASLIGHT them.
    You own them now !

  • Jv works? Well he goes to work if he works while his there?

  • +2

    Be careful if they give you a Heymix charger for Kris Kringle

  • I suspect a lot of ppl who post about other ppl here, are observed by the very ppl they bag.
    So I'd like another option in the poll.
    Laugh deep and long at OP's flawed confiding decisions.

    BTW it's quiet

    If only OP knew what boss is doing for payback, and has been for months

  • Poll Options

    keep quite

    I think OP needs to buy a new cheap phone, laptop or PC first.

  • My gf caught me handle. Lucky the mods removed my post, in hindsight.

  • :D

  • +2

    People in your IT department have been laughing about you and your boss. They've been eating popcorn and enjoying the fun.

    Their vote: continue roasting

  • Well you won't have to worry about a new roleplay fantasy

  • +1

    I'd hope your boss doesn't see this and find out you don't know the difference between *quiet and "quite".
