:wtf: How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread)

For posterity. Let's see how long this even lasts. Maybe a long time since they don't do "free support on weekends".

Well, now we know who to blame when September 10 gets postponed.

So I guess they do do weekend support when it's convenient:

I love that I got a shorter suspension for outright calling Jeff an arrogant dumbfuck than people got for existing on the forum.
Also, I love that Jeff doesn't know the difference between trolling and flaming (and constructive criticism delivered harshly).
If even one person saw that rant and it shook them out of the bike-shed stupor and they suddenly said "Oh. Right. Jeff's an asshole. What the fuck am I doing here?", then my job's done.

If that is unacceptable to you, perhaps there are other places you would prefer to be right now?
Is he asking you out for a date?
Ewwwwwww.
There's that in the text block that is intended to cause people to join meta.d after they've spent some time reading ...
-
And he keeps on with this straw man:
"We don't like the way polls look!"
And back to posting cartoons. Never change, Jeff.

isnt mobile - basically the whole reason this thread started?

If that were true, Jeff would have claimed billions of installations.

I guess mobile isn't "for the next decade."

I read that as "jeff and his cock," which doesn't work either.
Cock ∉Jeff
Cock ≡ Jeff
-
So it's a Has-A relationship and an Identity relationship? How does that kind of unbound recursion work?
OTOH, I think that this Is-A relationship holds:
Jeff ∈ Cocks
(In the pejorative sense, that is).
-
@ScholRLEA said in How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread):
So it's a Has-A relationship and an Identity relationship?
No, it's a Not-Has-A relationship. (Well, I suppose he probably does in the literal sense, but I don't care, and the literal sense is not relevant to the pejorative.) That is, it's not "jeff and his cock," it's "jeff is a cock."
-
@HardwareGeek I see. But how does this relate to DigiHom?
-
@HardwareGeek said in How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread):
No, it's a Not-Has-A relationship
The guacamole thread is
But the relation you're actually look for is Is-A-Member.
-
@dkf said in How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread):
Is-A-Member
Unary Is-A-Member should be a thing in mathematical notation.

It'd apply to a few mathematicians that I've met over the years…

Cock ≡ Jeff
Cocks are congruent to Jeff?
-
@bb36e said in How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread):

Only under some pretty strange transformations, as there are non-Jeffs that are cocks. At least assuming that the universe of discourse (hah!) is equivalent to the real world. Since we also know that Jeff doesn't really operate in the real world at all, the algebra gets a bit wonky…
-
@dkf said in How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread):

Has anyone tried operating Jeff in the natural world? It's an infinitely less complex space, so less ways to go wrong. Although that still leaves an infinite number of ways available for

I guess
JeffSam must really hate me now.And that's while I didn't attack him personally, I just replied to that awfully unprofessional post and even gave him what he wanted - a couple of screenshots from sites that get polls right (including Facebook).

@AlexMedia I'll bet he came over here and looked you up.

You made some good points in your post about polls, but I don't really care for your feedback since
the motivation is not "make Discourse better" it is "make Jeff look bad"I am under orders to hate you guys no matter what.What a load of crap.

@AlexMedia I'm actually surprised it took them that long. You've been quite obvious for a while.
Not that your points aren't valid, but this topic has had the "bashing An ex" feeling for quite a while.

Yes, definitely. Same avatar and nickname! The only difference was that I used a Facebook login on meta.d.

You're right, this thread does feel a lot like that. But given the history, I can understand why it is like that.
-
@AlexMedia said in How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread):
what is the point?
The point of this entire website is to point out the things that make IT suck. Jeff makes IT suck. Not being hostile to users makes IT better, and we all have to work in IT every day.
Look, it'd be great if Discourse didn't suck. There'd be competition for NodeBB that was palatable as well as modern. But it does, and it's because of bullshit like that poll fiasco.

Why should our attitude towards Discourse and the way it works change just because we don't use it any more?

Come on. He's not using a text-to-speech synthesizer, so he's only read them.

I'm not saying it should, but repeatedly poking them for fun (ie. users here go there to fuck shit up) is somewhat mean spirited.
Of course all of the users who has done that seems to have joined with good intentions and just got fed up.

Yes. Fuck them right in their star holes. They totally earned it by now.

@boomzilla You got off light compared to @AlexMedia!

@FrostCat No kidding.

@FrostCat Of course he did: Boomzilla just wants to troll, while Alex told them how ugly their baby is

@boomzilla My account's still not suspended, either. I just checked.
