Can we *please* nuke the fucking bots?
-
This is @boomzilla, of course we went there.
However I'd say that men and women can be platonic friends. I have some evidence of this in my life history.
-
I knew i liked you for a reason. have an actual like.
although your use of the plural there confuses...
-
Plural is simple: me, you, boomzilla, everyone else following the topic. We all went there. We didn't all necessarily want to go but we ended up there anyway.
-
This is TDWTF, of course we went there.
Is this what you meant then? (i have not had nearly enough caffeine today to brain effectively yet, sorry)
-
My brain isn't firing on all cylinders either.
More specifically... this is boomzilla we're talking about, so it's always going to go somewhere interesting, and because this is TDWTF you just know it's going to go there eventually.
-
hmm.. a valid point.
i suppose i really shouldn't have been surprised at that turn of events. I'm still disappointed, but now it does make more sense.
-
I just say the things most people are too afraid to say. Maybe with a little hyperbole on occasion.
-
How did you guess my ultra-secure four-word pass phrase?
-
At least you're not blakeyrat, for which we are all grateful.
-
None more than me.
-
Aw snap, it's not
correct horse battery staple
?
-
[insert obligatory XKCD here]
-
-
Yes, it's 936. I just wanted to point out that I knew the phrase without having to link the image.
And I was hoping someone would oblige with emoji, thanks @aliceif.
-
aaah... emoji.... is there anyhting you can't say with it?

Excellent, never again shall I forget my password, "Check Donkey Power Fastener"!

There is nothing that cannot be said with good emoji.
With Discourse's emoji? Many things cannot be said with it.
-
using any emoji required, please derive the proof of the quadratic formula. include sources for the emoji used, and provide a screenshot of the final result if required (assuming that discourse emoji are insufficient).
I'll wait, I have several distractions on hand.
Filed Under: The bot duel thread is spilling over my face
-
Challenge accepted! i should be able to do that, eventually. it's going to be tedious as [expletive, sexual reference] to type out, but it should be doable
-
If @algorythmics is involved, it will end up being sexy, not just sexually charged.
-
At least you're not blakeyrat, for which we are all grateful.
What would happen if another blakeyrat showed up? Would they agree on everything or find something silly to argue about and cause a meltdown?
-
The latter.
Maybe someone @Rikingcould make @LikeBot follow them both around agreeing with every post they make.

‽
why bother with the emoji, there's a character for that: ‽
-
Yes but I can type it faster by starting with
:in
and is the first autocomplete option ;)
-
i can type it instantly. CTRL + ?
for me anyway. I have a bunch of characters custom mapped to key combinations.
-
Yes, that must be lovely. I CBA to set that up at the present time.
-
... Sometimes i get bored at work and futz around rather than looking for work.
it doesn't happen often, but the results are always interesting.
-
Compose!?
-
Oh great, now there's another fucking bot liking all my shit. So I get back from lunch and I have 24 notifications and all of them are bullshit.
If you people want me to leave the site, just FUCKING SAY SO. Don't do this passive-aggressive bullshit, you cowardly assholes. I already had to turn off emails, now I have to ignore the notifications also.
-
I don't see any bots in the top few screens worth of your Received Likes. I think you have to Like yourself before you can come to terms with others Liking you. That's what TV has taught me.
-
hey man, don't look at me. SockBot can't do that! if you don't believe me check the github. it's all there.
-
It's easy. I've adblocked the notification thing.
-
The problem is I want to use it, but I can't because of everybody here being a fucking unfunny asshole and this software not letting me block accounts.
-
I want to use it
Why? What the fuck do you care? Some cunt replied to one of your posts? Who cares; if you're not actively watching the topic it's almost certainly not worth fucking bothering with.Filed Under: And it's probably only that twat @boomzilla anyway.

I like the occasional @blakeyrat post, but I don't stalk him. Anyone can go and see who's been liking his posts. This isn't some great secret. I don't know if that person is just tweaking him or really likes his spew.
-

I know.An "annoy <a @blakeyrat" (or any other person here, including <a @mikeTheLiar) bot is a nasty thing to do, though, and as of yesterday his posts were almost certainly being botliked.
I mean, really. The bots in general are a fucking pain, although they seem to have calmed down a bit now; they're ruining what Dicsourse hasn't managed to totally fuck up.
-

Right; it's not like this place needs help being horrible, and yet some assholes here are going out-of-their-way to make it more horrible.

I do see that @LikeBot was liking his posts yesterday. But I don't see anything like that today.
-
I think @LikeBot is generally dead, as it's gone missing from the Likes Thread too.
-

I'll just point out that aside from starting the initial mention bombing of @blakeyrat during his rage-quit-lurking-time, I've not done anything other than respond to his posts as I always have. I have no regrets.

If you want to leave, go. No-one here particularly wants to entertain your need for passive-aggressive behaviour.
Yes, I've been known to mention you every post. I stopped when I saw you were getting pissed off with it, and I slowed my posting down that day, too, specifically not to rile you up too much. I like the posts that amuse me, or that I agree with or that say something interesting but I don't go into full-blown harassment.
Thing is, that's how this community rolls. I'm only surprised no-one's done those things to me yet, frankly (having offered myself up as sacrificial victim before now), because to me, that seems par for the course amongst this group of magnificent bastards. Part of the deal for trolling here is the semi-implicit agreement for being trolled in response.
But no-one here is going to tell you to leave. You do actually have some grudging respect from some of this community, you know.
-
Thing is, that's how this community rolls.
How would you or anybody even know? This is a fucking brand-new community.
-
It's three months old, with a mix of old hands from CS and new blood from outside. Yes, it's a new-ish community but you'd have to be an idiot not to see how this community rolls.
But as usual, I bow in deference to your wisdom.
-
-
I'd miss @blakeyrat if he left again.
-
ill offer him sexual favours to make sure that never happens.
Or maybe I will threaten him with them.
whatever works.
-
Can you make @Nagesh come back too? I know lots of people dislike him, but I miss his mildly racist philosophical trolling.
