@M_Adams said in Bad for the economy:
usefull is usefull.
But is it useful?
It was useful, but looked wrong to me and autocorrect thought usefull was cromulent, so I went with it ¯\(ツ)/¯

MarkDown claimed another set of shoulders.
To keep MarkDown from eating your shoulders, try escaping the left shoulder too:

Brought to you by someone who's totally not one of those dumbass reddit bots.

@Magus I'd hit that

@Magus looks like my brother's bone structure. He averages 3 months of sick leave a year.

For fuck's sake why it's so hard for people to properly escape special characters? It's supposed to be programming forum! Seriously, at this point, I'm willing to believe you do that on purpose.

Me? Never.
I blame mobile posting. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

@dcon said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
Let's assume Guard 1 was speaking the truth.
Then what Guard 2 says cannot be truth, or we would have a paradox; so Guard 1 must be the truth-speaker. What does that make Guard 2? Well, not a truth-speaker as she's just told a lie, but not an every-time-liar either as that would be a paradox. So that just makes her... unreliable.Now let's assume Guard 1 was lying. That just tell us than one or both could be lying at any time. Not very helpful. Could Guard 2 be a truth-speaker then? Well, if she is then Guard 1 would be telling the truth, which would be a paradox. But could she be telling a lie instead? Yes, in which case all bets are off: Guard 2 might be an every-time liar or a part-time liar, and we don't learn anything about Guard 1 either.
To summarize: we don't know if Guard 1 was a truth-speaker, an inveterate liar, or anything in between. In any case, Guard 2 can never be relied on to have any particular kind of behaviour.
Even after the barbarian kills Guard 1, the only thing we learn from this story is that Guard 2 lies at least occasionally, but that does not imply she's an inveterate liar.

Yeah, they were just normal guards trying to talk themselves out of a dire situation.

@boomzilla Also, note the lack of an apostrophe in the possessive in the store's name.

It's the company name and apostrophes aren't allowed in company names.
The shop is now closed if that's any consolation for the punctuation crimes?

@HardwareGeek almost certainly just that one isn't the fault of the former company.
