And that's the point - if I call you an alcoholic, or you call me a silly kid, it's good-natured fun. If I call you a fucking Nazi, or you call me a useful idiot, it's not good-natured fun, it's flinging feces.
Why? I called @boomzilla a "methed out ferret" earlier today. I get called an asshole on here all the time. I just thank them for using my preferred pronoun.
Because from the interactions I've had with you on the forums I know that you wouldn't mean the former, and if we were having a serious, non- discussion you likely wouldn't tell me I'm a silly kid. OTOH - knowing your views - I know there are people you consider useful idiots, and if it wasn't clear from the context you intend it as a joke you could very well mean it.

Or - to take your example - it wouldn't be as funny to call @boomzilla a methed-out ferret if @boomzilla actually was doing meth. (Unless he does, then, well, that explains some posts...)

If he was doing that, he'd be inclined to do work.

But, I have mead.... Also, I wasn't aware that is considered to be a hipster drink.
I was drinking mead before it was cool. I even brewed some, but it takes forever to really be ready to drink.

@maciejasjmj said in Goodbye:
I don't think anybody accused anyone here of being a literal neo-nazi, at least not in the scope of this discussion.
Come to think of it, I got called a Nazi a week ago by French lucas.

Even the hardcore Christians have taken the stance of "I do not agree with your sexuality, but it is none of my business".
Yeah, this doesn't really help. Sorry.
Is it ideal? No. Not in my opinion. But you know what? If we can imply that upvotes are general agreement, one of the upvotes on that was from a person that is so hardcore Christian that he believes the Earth is ~7,000 years old. Everything is relative, and relatively speaking that is pretty damned good for a Young Earth Creationist.

Or at least buy stuff nicer than JD, there are some seriously nice bourbons out there even if you don't want to betray your country by admitting that Scotch is the best whiskey
There's this stuff called Jameson Caskmates, which is:
- About the same price as shitty Jack Daniels,
- Delicious.
It's regular Jameson but they age it in casks that were used to make craft beers for awhile.
-
@polygeekery said in Goodbye:
I have those also. I like Jack and Coke. Mixing really good stuff with Coke would be sacriligious.
This is the only suitable way to injest Jack Daniels. Mixing it with something sweet as fuck.

I'm personally of the opinion it's only about eight days old. I say about because we can assume the eighth day started after the day of rest, but nobody recorded it ending.

An advent of "Last Thursdayism". Makes as much sense as anything else. Roll with it.

Yeah. One should also realize that the hardcore garage denizens are also mostly pretty self-deprecating. It is not that we have thick skin really.
It also helps to know that everyone else posting in the garage is an idiot. It makes it easier to swallow their dumb life opinions.

I am a sucker for White Russians right now. I toss in some coconut rum for sweet flavor.

@polygeekery also, i have found a sick trick for White Russians (well, sorta russian, I have no coffee liqueur in it, just vodka and milk) - add a hint of sugary coffee creamer to it....
coconut creme is good.. but this one:
(no that's not my hand, random GIS pic)
holy shit - i'm drinking 1/2 vodka, 1/2 milk plus a splash of the reeses creamer... it tastes like a goddamn liquid reeses peanut butter cup. If I didn't watch me pour 3 shots of vodka in this glass, I'd swear it's not even alcoholic.
-
@darkmatter said in Goodbye:
(well, sorta russian, I have no coffee liqueur in it, just vodka and milk)
I am guessing that kahlua + vodka + the reeses would be crazy good too though, since when I do the 1/2 part coconut rum + 1part vodka + 1 part milk + splash of coconut creme, that works out pretty sweet. And I'm mixing it into a 1/2 Liter mug - my 1 part vodka was about 3 - 4 shots (2oz) of vodka when I measured it out.

Losing sleep arguing with someone who's more interested in trolling than having an actual conversation
Mute the Trolly Garbage category.
Reading stories about how much people hate their jobs and this industry. It's important to vent and a lot of these stories are funny. However, I've noticed that I have slowly started to hate my profession. Not my job in particular, but this industry in general.
Maybe your profession sucks and you actually want to switch. Or your job does suck and you're just realizing it now.
it has made me become an asshole to the people around me IRL
Or maybe everyone around you are jerks and you're just realizing this, and treating them accordingly.
In any case... um... bye? Come back some time.

of course they are, it's the fckin trolleybus. part of the problem for anyone that reads the garage is that it's hard to separate what they see in it with what they see out of it. In a way, the garage has exacerbated the problem in that a few people post exaggerated even for them opinions because trolling , and it seems that some have trouble not taking them 100% serious on it.

As for this part - i love my job, though i do not work specifically in the software industry, but in the software dev portion of a different industry. I've been blessed in that we are essentially the cutting edge software guys that get to choose what technology route we go down... it is not without its pains (the route better be free!!!). Either way, I have both a Computer Science and Engineering degree, and after almost 15 years, I'd still rather do the software than the hardware. I think that who your coworkers and boss(es) are is a big part of it; and I consider myself blessed (non-religiously) to have gotten lucky on both cases. My boss is great, and my coworkers are my drinking/partygame buddies on the weekend.

Yes, and unfortunately, one of those people has been visiting the forum lately...
HEY! At least I balance things out with a healthy dose of Molly pictures.

unless you don't mean me why would i assume that about myself anyways moving on

I'd say Godwin stops being applicable when literal neo-nazis get involved, but that's probably something that belongs in a thread in the garage, not about the garage.
No, that's just a statement of fact.
