Things you wish you could say (everywhere)

I don’t remember which car the person mentioned when they told me that, but all of you have filled in enough examples to cover for me.

Why do people look happy (and sexy) in brochures dealing with IT products, such as printerers and scannerers and the such… when all we know what it really is like… especially if the printerer have a paperer jam for the umpteenth time in a row, and the Boss is screaming at you as his powerpoint bullet list is failing to print…

:laughing:

It’s not all that bad here, though that is low for a management position.

Wow. Seriously pathetic, yes. That would be insulting in Houston, and our cost of living is waaaaay less than in the PRC.

Enough with the pointless comments. Instead of this:

'position for aspStartTag
pos1 = instr(content,“<%”)

How about this instead:

  aspStartTagPosition = instr(content,"<%")

That way you get an actual meaningful variable name, and you also get rid of the stupid pointless comment.

always makes me wonder…

I self-moved it to another thread as I felt it fit better, to be honest. My rambling about being tired of people posting incorrect political memes and such.

Yeah, Steve Hansen, you could ask Michael Cheika to have a beer with you, but he’s more of a whine person.

Background: The NZ Rugby team have just completed 18 test wins in a row, the Australians have for the first time in history been whitewashed in a 3 test series twice in a year. According to Cheika, the reason that NZ keep winning is because the officials are biased, NZ keep cheating, anything other than the fact that NZ are better than Australia.
He has also complained that the NZ team have disrespected the Australian team because a NZ newspaper printed a picture of him with a clown nose photoshopped on. The logic of this one completely escapes me as the NZ team have nothing to do with editorial decisions at a newspaper. It also disregards the fact that an Australian newspaper did something very similar a couple of years ago.

Post your sources. Not liking someone is fine and perfectly normal, but you just make yourself look sad when you post fake news as true.

Over the summer, I had to call my mother to tell her that her Facebook account had been hacked. Reason: she posted a link about Will Smith’s kid (Jayden?) being found dead. She barely even knows who Will Smith is.

Turns out, she was reposting something one of her friends had posted. Nevermind that it was a hoax. Told her it’s a hoax. Friend even took down the post after acknowledging one of the replies to her version that said it was a hoax. She didn’t even care.

So, Facebook needs parental controls for both ends of the circle of life.

For a couple of people who swore up and down that Facebook was a waste of time, pointless, they’d never use it, it was terrible…they sure do spend an awful lot of time on it.

I know. I’m a bit sad and it’s a bit addictive.

Parents, stop making racists out of your children. It is not necessary, and causes problems down the line for other persons.

The perpetrator is clearly a risk for committing physical sexual assault if he behaves this way in a virtual environment

What sort of a moron are you? I go and kill zombies in a virtual environment, that doesn’t mean I’m “clearly at risk of physically killing zombies”.
Not only are you missing the point of online vs reality, you are missing the point that what he did was wrong in and of itself.

* For reference, this is in response to a subscriber comment on an article about how a woman in a VR game got virtually groped and chased by some toerag (probably early teenage male).

What is this even?

It was a VR game where you control an avatar. You talk to and interact with other real people (and also NPCs).
One person was obviously female because of her voice, and one idiot moved his avatar in front of her and reached out to her virtual chest. She found it a bit disturbing (I think I’d find that disturbing as well) and requested that he stop. Instead of stopping he chased her until she eventually had to stop playing the game.

While this behaviour is childish and really creepy, there is no way you could say that it translates to real life - as one commenter tried to do.

Games are also subjective. Some I like, others I detest.

So stop trying to tell me that game XYZ is the hottest shiz…

I did not just flick a wad of ear wax into the full bag of chips next to my chair.

I checked to make sure it was the one I’ve been using for trash that I actually threw away this morning.

I don’t have a whole bag of delicious chips that I must now throw away.

Dear M2 magazine.
If you are going to talk about detoxing livers then the word “manly” should never be used within the article, let alone in the headline.

Also, I think you mean “ascent to fame”, not “assent to fame”. You don’t really agree to fame - it happens or it doesn’t whether you agree or not.
