The most desirable IT skill is...
-
Only if you use a framework that doesn't handle multiple browsers well
-
This is why I concentrate on the server side rather than the client side ;)

Oh yes, I haven't forgotten the hell of IE < 9. Fortunately all the stuff I've been doing I could afford safely not to give a hoot about that. This may, however, change next week depending on a number of things, but most importantly who ends up hiring me.

For somebody who exploded at @Polygeekery for joking about suicide, @blakeyrat has posted quite a few of his own "kill yourself" jokes the last few days...
-
The rules for @blakeyrat differ from those for mere mortals.

FTFY

I was thinking the same thing yesterday. I can only assume that he is competing for a high score on hypocrisy points.
-
Have I complained about someone making suicide jokes? Man, you guys are accusing me of hypocrisy I haven't even done now..
-
Do you share your account with someone else? That would explain a lot
-
Have I complained about someone making suicide jokes?
Not lately, but in the past, you have. I wouldn't really call it complaining though. More like losing your shit.
-
I legit don't remember ever complaining about suicide jokes. But I might have done it tongue-in-cheek, and some of the idiots here didn't realize I was kidding, that happens all the fucking time.
-
No, it's more of an 'aimed at the foot' kinda thing. Imagine like a walking stick with a revolver handle.
-
It didn't sound like you were joking at the time.
-
Probably because he took what was said so personal that he didn't consider that what he read was intended to be a tasteless joke.
-
Ok whatever. I'm not going to search for it and none of you idiots has provided a link. (Probably because there'd be no place to link it to, since you're making this shit up.)
-

FTFY.

And Discourse's searching is not a factor in any of this or anything.

Yeah, that's why the mods were called and we had a protracted discussion throu through PM.
Annnnnnd, here's where you make up a bunch of shit and rearrange the goal posts to make this different...

You're welcome.

I haven't had an issue with Discosearch for a while.
Recent failures have been me not remembering the right words.
-
Oh right, that.
-
Now, rearrange the goal posts to suit your needs. Take all the time you need, but please show your work if you want full credit.

This was way too much editing for a cheap joke anyway. I'm not about to try and make that as well. Too lazy.
-
I
madefound you a pie:
-
Not joking about suicide is a thing I could get behind tho...
-
In my mind, those two situations are completely different. I wouldn't expect you to understand, because you're a moron, so instead of even attempting to explain it, I simply fixed my posts. Once Discourse stopped being broken and I was able to.
-
Indeed, it is a sensitive subject for some. But there is an interesting cross-section of opinions about such things around here... there are those that would argue this place is supposed to be a lawless wilderness where literally nothing is taboo, including that.
-
Not joking about suicide is a thing I could get behind tho...
Agreed. Some things are never funny.

A few months ago, a loved one attempted suicide and may have gone through with it if I hadn't been there. A couple of days later, my boss suggested that a service I was writing should kill itself after a certain amount of time. Some of the younger members of our team started laughing at the phrasing and talking about euthanasia and shit, which led to a rare outburst from me where I shouted something along the lines of "CAN YOU STOP JOKING ABOUT FUCKING SUICIDE" and staring daggers at the people responsible.
-
I was about to type a reply but then the program I set up to remind me to do my PT, which pops up an inspirational quote as a reminder, quoted Robert Frost: "The best way out is always through". Which is a much more useful comment than I'd have typed.
-
This one is going to my memes folder.

You're still a long way down from where I am (ASP.NET MVC with Razor)
+1, now that I'm finally back to programming, it's nice to use superior technologies.

Ok, it's not Thanksgiving, but I came across this again and thought I should modify it and share:
A young man named @blakeyrat received a parrot as a gift. The
parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious
and laced with profanity. @blakeyrat tried and tried to
change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only
polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could
think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.Finally, @blakeyrat was fed up and he yelled at the parrot.
The parrot yelled back. @blakeyrat shook the parrot and the
parrot got angrier and even more rude. @blakeyrat, in desperation,
threw a Blakeyrant™, grabbed the bird and put him in the
freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked
and screamed.Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard
for over a minute.Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, @blakeyrat quickly opened
the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out
onto @blakeyrat's outstretched arms and said "I believe I
may have offended you with my rude language and
actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my
inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do
everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."@blakeyrat was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a
dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very
softly, "May I ask what the turkey did?"HAPPY THANKSGIVING ;-)

If you don't like the joke above, I'll send over my pet Fluffy:

cats don't scare me.

They should. Ever see what they do with sox? :P
EDIT: FAIL on proper thread usage. I wanted to post this on the jokes thread. -_-
-
off topic is par for the course here.
I've also seen my dogs with treats. cats are nothing compared to that.
-
EDIT: FAIL on proper thread usage. I wanted to post this on the jokes thread. -_-
Just blame it on Discourse. No one will question it.

It could be moved...

Who's joking? I am absolutely fucking serious about it, I just don't have the balls to DTRT like I should have a long time ago.

The only skill important in getting a job - any job - is one's ability to sling bullshit and make it stick. Unfortunately, I lack that crucial talent, which is why I post here all day instead of holding a job anymore.
