⏱ You know you've been spending too much time on TDWTF when...
-
Continuing the discussion from The Official "Likes" Thread - Now with fewer Badges (Back to ranting about dicsourse bugs.):
How about a luke-warm map? The less color of any kind, the more important.
... you wake up at 3AM thinking about cold maps.
-
...you realise you're the only person with the 2^11 badge.
EDIT: And that is only half your posting here.
-
... you want to post a message containing “TRWTF is <...>” on other forums.
-
Less than half your posting count, more like 2/5

What about saying it IRL?

2/5Probably closer to 1.8/5th's, actually.Still at my edit limit for another 9 hours. But I can edit from mobile, but fuck that.

I have done both of these things...
-
You know you've been at TDWTF too long when someone gets all pedantic-dickweedy about a broad generalisation written tersely for effect.
-
You want to use "Filed under" in general conversation
Filed under: when you've been at TDWTF too long
-
Mid-coitus, you accidentally address your lover as "Morbs".
...or...
You go out at night and force vagrants to wear Oscar the Grouch masks and beat them mercilessly while screaming: "Arantor is the real WTF! HA HA HA HA ! AAAAA HAHAHA HA!"
...or...
You have your hair stylized like @codinghorror's avatar and you hang around parking lots and when someone pulls through the empty spot in front of their vehicle instead of backing out, you stand in front of their car, refuse to move, and your explanation is: "You're doing it wrong".
"But it's easier just to pull through."
"NO. That's wrong. You're wrong. That's the wrong way to do it. I can't let you."
-
If you do any of that, your problem isn't that you spend too much time on TDWTF.
-
...you go to bed and then spend the next hour or so thinking things through about this alternative AJAX-driven forum software you would like to code just to show THEM it can be done without becoming a steaming pile of bugs.
-
...you start moaning about the application you support having massive consistency holes but almost refer to it as Discoursistency.
Was glad my brain was running faster than my mouth that time.You want to use "Filed under" in general conversation
Also this.
-
You warn of a methodology at your actual place of employment because it blew up in Discourse...
-
Still at my edit limit for another 9 hours. But I can edit from mobile, but fuck that.
How's that work? Cookies? IP address?
-
-
Pretty sure it's related to views, (desktop vs mobile) because I could edit from mobile, but not from my home laptop at my home (one ip) or my work laptop at work (another ip)
-
You must be Doing Something Right!

... presuming your mobile was sharing the WiFi external IP address as your home/work desktops.
-
I'll test it out tonight with CSRF :P
-
Mobile was on the same wifi network as the home laptop, and was how I was browsing the forums while issuing hundreds of thousands of requests yesterday.
Also, sorry about the increased usage stats. Kind of.
-
...when you dream about everyone here referring to you by your first name.
yes, that really happened last night
-
Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
I've been dreaming about figuring out how to make chrome show all the fucking glyphs for unicode characters. Damned things show up on FF. And I can copy them into other programs here and they show up fine. Something flakey about how chrome handles fonts.
-

You could always turn your attention to try.discourse.org

I suspect most of us have.
-
I used TDEMSYR in several other places without even thinking about it. Also, FTFY.
-

trymeta.discourse.orgFTFY. I'm sure they won't mind.
-
Considering that I was in a kind of heated discussion in a chat yesterday and threw both "TDEMSYR" and "worst of the worst" at someone, I think I really have spent too much time here already.
-
FTFY
I've done this too, then realised that nobody had any idea what I was talking about. Well apart from the other two people I work with who visit the TDWTF forums.
-
cutesy font fallback whitelists to prevent 'insensible' font fallbacks which chromium developers deem no priority seeing how long a popular issue report lasts so far
what'd be more interesting is supporting color emoji!
-
Just to clarify, are you guys saying the letters of those abbreviations or the actual words?
-
You know you've been spending too much time on TDWTF when the last 50000 entries in your browser's history is this site.
Oh wait, no. That just means you've left "Don't update URL while scrolling through topics" unchecked in your preferences.
-

I didn't know people actually scrolled through the entire Likes topic, and then some.
-

Discourse won't even save that setting for me.
Yes, it is always unchecked when I open my preferences.
Unlike the other ones I have checked.
-
Yeah, I did a bit back when we had ridiculous amounts of likes, and I ended up trying to like every post by hand.
-
I use FTFY all the time on other forums and no one acts like they don't know what it means.
-
FTFY is quite common in snarky circles. TDEMSYR is unique to TDWTF however.
-
I'm aware TDEMSYR is unique to here. It took me a long time to figure out what it meant and at the time I was worried I'd get flamed for asking.
-
A search of the old forum would have yielded
positiveexcitable results. I mean, it started with SSDS and Swampy, there's no way it could be anything less.
-
I think I finally found it by reading the entire SSDS thread. But IIRC no one explicitly used the phrase next to the acronym so it took me a bit longer to put 2 and 2 together.
-
Google was my friend there - first result linked to another post with the answer.

Yes, but it didn't originally do that--someone posted them together so that Google would pick it up.
I'm still hoping someone will^W^W^W waiting for someone to explain tcotcdck or whatever it is.
-

That seems unusually helpful for here.

It took me a while to find it because search is still horribly broken.

It's because they seem to fanatically hang on every word that Jeff says over at meta.d even when he's spouting obvious drivel that directly contradicts things he's said before.
The heatmaps debacle springs to mind. Basically there was a thread over on meta.d where
it was being discussedpeople were attempting to make Jeff see reason. The consensus seemed to indicate that people disagreed with him and didn't like this changes, so Jeff closed the thread rather than listen.This has happened on several threads.
The admin staff over there seem to blindly agree with him rather than listen to the users of the software.

Every single post I have liked, I have liked by hand. Yes, I have scrolled through the entire likes topic (except the ones from last night that I haven't yet caught up on).

LOL.
