Discourse: Fixing the things that aren't broken. Not fixing the things that are.

As opposed to the 10" Nexus 5?
Oh wait, the
moronsgeniusesmorons at apple are making a 5.5" iPhone 6.
-

The Nexus 5 is 5mm. It says right in the name. That's what the 5 means.

@sam, why don't y'all just stuff Jeff into a cupboard under the stairs?
And eleven years later he emerges with a scar on his forehead and superpowers? You can't be serious!
-
I'll do the scar! I've got an axe right here!
-
It's okay because the Nexus 6 will apparently have a 5.2" screen.
Dicsourse rounding is infecting EVERYTHING.

This post is deleted!

Too bad signature guy is gone, we could have "The Man Who Follows The Man Who Says Anus"

Oh, it gets even better now. Jeff basically said that "it's a joke", to which I replied it shouldn't matter because their rules specifically forbid such posting behavior. The only response I got from Jeff after that was that he moved the smiley from the end of his post to just after "Are you a T-Rex?".
Figuring that Sam might care that Jeff was breaking the rules and making them look bad on their own sight, I PM'd him next. Here's the core of his response:
Sam said:
That whole mister burns thing is a clear attempt to troll us.I responded that's only really clear to people from TDWTF and to people on their staff. Other people may wonder, but they won't really know unless it's pointed out to them
You know what? If their founders can't even abide by their own rules, then to B*****m with them. I've actually submitted a handful of bugs over there that they ended up fixing. But I'm done. I'll let somebody else deal with the assholes.
-
I think you're taking the t-rex thing too personally. We should stick to making them look like idiots by highlighting and countering their idiotic posts.
The Mr Burns thing is a minor form of trolling.

Unfortunately, this is also the approach they take with developing their features.
Other people may wonder why all the numbers on the activity page are various shades of orange, but they won't know why unless it's pointed out to them.
Clearly they think that's a reasonable development practice and that such information is obvious. Therefore, they will assume that your trolling is obvious.
This assumes consistency in their thinking, which is probably a stretch too far in my line of reasoning.

As I pointed out at one point on the status thread when this was discussed:
Honestly, if it were here, I wouldn't have been insulted by the t-rex thing. That's pretty tame for TDWTF. I would still be pissed by the way he implied I'm not a man, though. But this was on meta.d, were posts have been deleted for indirectly attacking an individual. And that's completely ignoring the fact that meta.d is their public face and he is one of their founders. All of that put together is what really pissed me off.
I admit that the Mr. Burns thing is trolling, but most people, outside of us TDWTFers and their staff won't even realize that, so it shouldn't even factor in.
-
I get it. It's not any single thing. I do like the fact that you flagged Jeff. That right there is funny.
-
-
I created an account (@oss) on meta.d to track topics and like some of @Downey's post on the version check sending additional data. I happened to be on meta.d when Jeff made that post so I flagged it as inappropriate. My account was deleted. Now in fairness, I did use mailinator for the email address since I did not want to give out my personal email, so perhaps they assumed it was a spam account? Either way I was highly disappointed by the lack of professionalism.
-
The real question: were you surprised by it?
-
If you flagged anything over there and it was related to any person from TDWTF, your account will be deleted if it's new, and 100% ignored if it's not.
-

Don't hold it against me, but yes.If you flagged anything over there and it was related to any person from TDWTF, your account will be deleted if it's new, and 100% ignored if it's not.
I don't recall when I made it, but it was several days before, but, yeah, I figured it was seen as trolling.

Meta's song for TDWTF:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHuqLM4f7GkOoh just had a thought...brb gotta DiscoSearch for the Guitar Hero: Discourse thing and add this.
-

WTF‽ I have a gmail account that I made specifically for TDWTF (and now also only use at meta.d). That's crazy.
-
I briefly considered that, but it is a lot easier to use mailinator.

So... umm... The Mr. Burns thing... anyone here feel like I should apologize for that, since it was my idea in the first place...
PffffftHAHAHAHAHA!
Sorry, didn't manage to keep a straight face.
-

Not at all.
-
I think someone would have to be somewhat mentally unstable to get upset at the Mr. Burns thing.
-
Now that we're using different Mr Burnses, I think it's cool. Having identical images was not cool. But at the same time, awesome.
-

Um, no.
Sorry, didn't manage to keep a straight face.
Good try though.
-
I think this one is even more suitable:
-
Feature Request: Automatically use Mr. Burns for all avatars here.
-
@PJH could probably do that just in CSS.
-
No. Just no.
-
I wasn't saying you should. I was merely asserting that you could.
-
Even better idea: Create something like Unicornify but for Mr. Burns avatars!
We only need a clever name.

Sprouts are the worst of the worst for me and gas.
So would you say that sprouts are the @mikeTheLiar of gassy foods?

I wouldn't, but some might.

What I can't understand is how Jeff turns his edge case into everyone's default.
- some dude with a green monster avatar, quoted by some dude with an old dude avatar.

Exactly. Do an image search or something. I found it...somewhere...someone had unearthed some old photos. This one had writing on the back about "Aunt Whatever never got married." The mind boggles, eh?
