For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
If it were supposed to be pronounced “jif” it would have been spelled that way, I don’t give two fucks what Stephen Wilhite said about it either.
If it were meant to be pronounced ‘giff’ as in ‘goober’, it would have been spelled that way. You decide to turn an initialism into an acronym, you get what you get.
Discord is not a good replacement for support forums. Discord isn’t searchable by search engines.
Historically, if I had an issue with a product and I googled “[product] [issue]” I’d be met with a support forum post, with someone describing the same issue. I could read the thread to find how they resolved it. I don’t actually have to interact with the post at all, and I don’t need to ask the same question again. For most (decent) forums I don’t even need to make an account just to read the post.
Discord throws that all out the window. Now I’m met with a “JoiN OUr dIScoRd SerVEr to GEt suPPorT” page. Nothing is searchable via a search engine. And Discord’s server searchability (even in the app) has always been, at best, absolute dogshit. You already need to know exactly which text thread things were posted in, (because you can’t search the entire server at once), and you need to know exactly what was said, (because there’s no fuzzed search terms).
So 99% of the time, you just end up asking the same question that has already been asked a hundred times in the past, and now you need to wait for someone to respond. It also puts a lot more strain on the support staff, because they’re answering the same question a hundred times instead of just the once in a forum.
And don’t come at me with the “but Discord recently added a support forum feature where people can start threads and save the conversation for later” bullshit. That’s a band-aid, at best. It still isn’t searchable via search engines, so it means the above issues with Discord’s search function still apply, and the forum function is essentially useless as support forums.
Lastly, why the fuck should I be forced to join another server just to get support? What if I don’t have a discord account? What if I live in a region that Discord doesn’t support? What if I just plain don’t want to clog up my server sidebar with dozens of servers that I have only visited once? What if I just really hate the fact that your server has been configured to push notifications for every single message by default? What if I just fucking want to google my issue, and get an answer without any further effort?
Things happen by accident or on purpose. No one over the age of 3 should be using “on accident”.
Maybe people are just trying to annoy you by purpose.
YYYY/MM/DD
I prefer MYYD/MYYD.
Don’t even get me started on this one…
“white chocolate” doesn’t exist. It’s just sugar and a little bit of cocoa butter. It’s edible wax. It’s not chocolate and it doesn’t belong in any assortment of sweets, ever. Cocoa butter is skin moisturizer and that’s it.
It provably does exist. And it’s delicious. I could go to the supermarket and buy some right now. Except I’m fat and trying to lose weight.
The most delicious edible wax I’ve ever had.
I’m fine with changing the name for it, but you sir can fuck right off if you want me to stop eating it instead of your “real” chocolate
I’m allergic to chocolate solids but can eat cocoa butter. So, in a society that is unreasonably obsessed with chocolate, it is nice that there is occasionally a “white chocolate” option on things that for some reason come in 15 flavors of chocolate and little else.
It does exist in the way that chocolate ‘solids’ exist as an element of chocolate. A typical chocolate bar consists of both chocolate solids and cocoa butter. It’s still an element of what you’re eating,
So just cuz you eat ‘chocolate’ because you think you only favor the solids, you’re still eating the butter too in what makes chocolate. It’s like drinking milk products and then getting pedantic over people who use butter as a food even though milk contains some the same elements.
But again this is about stupid hills to die on. And you picked an intolerant and ignorant stance so I guess you technically win in this particular topic.
No need for personal attack, this is all in good fun.
You have my sword.
And my bow.
And my axe!
The invocation is complete.
Oh crap, I zoned out. What are we doing?
Dunking on a dude that doesn’t think white chocolate is chocolate, hope that helps
Hey, you. You’re finally awake.
Have you tried ruby chocolate yet? I’m guessing you won’t be impressed.
Ruby chocolate?
What is Ruby Chocolate? Everything You Need to Know
I’ve tried it a couple of times, but it’s a little hard to find.
It gets it’s name from it’s reddish-pink color.
@notnotmike@programming.dev, this one trigger you to?
Blocked.
I know this is unpopular. Have had several long winded discussions on this with friends and folks alike. “All religions are cults”, doesn’t matter the person is alive, dead or imaginary, you’re just following a charismatic leader(s).
I think fewer of people when they misuse words. Their not that hard too tail a part.
I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn’t take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It’s clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother’s mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
Like taking a bath in a rash.
You’re the worst. But you did good, kid. You did good.
Wow, well done. If op could read they would be pissed!
its “I could not care less” and not “I could care less”. This one drives me nuts
Thank you for fighting the good fight.
I adore David Mitchell and his rants. I really liked the one about how “rape” should not become socially acceptable and silly when followed by “pillage” just because the Vikings are depicted as having worn silly hats.
I agree with this statement, but I never notice its wrong until someone points it out. Then my inner grammar teacher has an aneurysm and I go off on a tangent.
It’s so close to being right that you don’t think about it, until you do. Then OCD sets in.
To streamers, YouTubers, etc. Your Patreon supporters are called Patrons. Not fucking “Patreons.”
i don’t record or watch vertical videos
Same. Don’t get me wrong, short form content is okay (I prefer long form). But the shit you see on Tick Tock and YouTube Shorts is so ridiculous that I can’t help but reactively close the app out of self preservation…
It all started when someone wanted to fry chicken in Pepto-Bismol…
If something’s rate of hype is too fast for my internal meter, I will become immediately skeptical of the trend/show/etc. and not care about it, solely because everyone is caring about it too much and too fast.
And that is exactly how I ended up never watching Game of Thrones.
Ice bucket challenge? Ha, get fucked.
With my friends it was the cinnamon challenge. I have zero regrets noping out of that one.
Trucks should be used for working and not hauling groceries. Get a fucking car or a van. Roads are safer with more crash compatibe vehicles that also weigh less. Large trucks should need a special licence to drive/own Driving should also be taught in school
If someone offers you something you don’t want, simply say no thank you. Don’t say “no I don’t like that” as if you are 4.
But they will ask again, and I am so fuckdamn tired of repeating myself to be polite.
Pluto is a MOTHER FUCKING PLANET
It has enough mass to deform into a spheroid, it orbits on the major plane of every other planet.
“Clearing their orbit” is utter bullshit, Earth hasn’t even cleared its orbit that’s why we get the Perseid and The Leonid meteor showers.
Fuck you NDT, I know you didn’t start it but you SURE as FUCK popularized it.
And I will literally fistfight any of you who disagree idgaf where or when.
Well obviously Pluto is not a planet. Pluto’s a dog.
Load the goddamn plane by column, window seats to aisle seats, grouped by odd/even seat numbers and make people line up largest seat number to smallest. It takes an extra five minutes before you board the plane and saves you twenty or thirty. It wouldn’t even cost you the five if it was the standard.
I’m with you generally. The whole boarding experience causes a tremendous amount of anxiety for me to the point that i’d rather drive for anywhere I can get to with a <16 hour drive.
MythBusters had an episode related to airplane boarding. If I remember right, the current scheme is the fastest, but it’s due to the fact that everyone can’t follow the rules.
That’s the problem with society- all the damn people. *Shakes fist at cloud*.
