I miss the days when people had computers they could log into. Now all the computers are gone, replaced by servers.

@tchrist I still do ._.

user202362

servers are not computers @_@

I feel like this must have something to do with the tipping epidemic.

user315433

And airport food, probably.

Some sommelier refused to pour new wine in old computer boxes, so he went out and got new servers instead. Wasted grapes.

I think computers went the way of files, which are also no more. Now we have only documents.

Even our erstwhile directories have been fowdlerized to make way for the brave new document servers.

It's hard to do good Orwell better.

Next step, cryptocurrencies instead of real money, stored in a serverless cloud.

Given that cloud is marketeer for “somebody else’s computers”, and since we’ve already determined that servers are computerless, the cloud must therefore be serverless.

@JourneymanGeek what do you mean by “crochet”?

@alexolut that was autocucumbered from crotch and was funnier.

@JourneymanGeek like hat on the crotch!

hate on crochet

no, that coquet.

user202362

once I was living by myself in this 3 bedroom house with a backyard, I heard someone walking on my roof, so I came out with a golf club in one hand and a knife in another

4:43 AM

@JourneymanGeek why some hat is good on crotch and another doesn’t?

user202362

next day, I found a teddy bear in my mail box

@alexolut you need to use your head... and not the thing on the other end ;p

@tchrist KORO....KKKKEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

@tchrist ugh, bad timing. I'm hungry.

@JourneymanGeek hat on crotch offends you?

@alexolut You're basically being intentionally obtuse arn't you? ;p

@JourneymanGeek bendable laser beam, would nominate for noble prize

;p

Freehand... as per tradition

@JourneymanGeek your message is not funny. And you can’t explain like mods, how one hat can offends someone and another on the same place doesn’t

This is Tavern... Keep calm and relax~ :p

@alexolut If it looks too much like a strapon, or a male body part, its probably not a good idea. You probably know this. I'm sure if a hat looked like a pair of boobs in the right orientation, and you did it, you'd get the same response.

And it comes down to "use your common sense, otherwise we cannot have nice things"

(I failed to be funny...)

user202362

4:54 AM

@tchrist saw a cat and have to go eat, should we be concerned?

@JourneymanGeek I can’t use boobs on my avatar? Really?

@alexolut you can try...

Even man’s boobs?

Like this one?

Flag flag flag....

user202362

you can use your boob as your avatar, we will be laughing at you

@Telkitty this looks same like mine

Manneken Pis

Manneken Pis ( [ˌmɑnəkə(m) ˈpɪs] , meaning "Little man Pee" in Dutch) is a landmark small bronze sculpture (61 cm) in Brussels, depicting a naked little boy urinating into a fountain's basin. It was designed by Hiëronymus Duquesnoy the Elder and put in place in 1618 or 1619. The current statue dates from 1965. Manneken Pis is the best-known symbol of the people of Brussels. It also embodies their sense of humour (called zwanze in the Brussels' dialect) and their independence of mind. == Etymology == To be precise, the real name of the statue is Menneke Pis. In fact, in Flemish or Dutch, but also...

Is this fountain offensive for you guys?

user202362

5:27 AM

@alexolut I saw it in real life when I was in Brussels years ago

@alexolut see, you're disagreeing with a decision, then making ridiculous claims cause you're sore about it...

Venus (mythology)

Venus (, Classical Latin: ) is the Roman goddess whose functions encompassed love, beauty, desire, sex, fertility, prosperity and victory. In Roman mythology, she was the mother of the Roman people through her son, Aeneas, who survived the fall of Troy and fled to Italy. Julius Caesar claimed her as his ancestor. Venus was central to many religious festivals, and was revered in Roman religion under numerous cult titles. The Romans adapted the myths and iconography of her Greek counterpart Aphrodite for Roman art and Latin literature. In the later classical tradition of the West, Venus becomes one...

user202362

is this offensive?

@Telkitty was there a desire to tear off something from him?

user202362

are you drunk

5:37 AM

@JourneymanGeek use of any hat placed anywere can be funny, but not offensive. If some hat looks like strapon such hat should be removed from hat list for entire SE, I think.

@Telkitty but someone tear off my hat...

This is not my fault

5:52 AM

@alexolut see? This is why we cannot have nice things.... Like unicorn hats.

You should send a strongly worded email.

6:32 AM

I like spam.

I also like movers.

I wonder what's the background story of "Too Cool!" hat, when the app is already abandoned...

user315433

7:12 AM

It was originally called "Before it was cool", iirc

After it is uncool...

user315433

Yes, perhaps it should be "Long after it was cool" now.

Was it ever cool? :p

The notification is cool! That is, the notification...

Lool. About all I use it for

boo

@gparyani heh, I saw spam deleted in 8 seconds once.

Maybe @Shog can come with actual stats of spam deletion speed. ;)

@ShadowWizard MS has some graphs metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/graphs time to deletion is at bottom of that page

I guess someone could do a select timetodelete, count(*) from spam group by timetodelete order by timetodelete in the MS database

10:16 AM

@rene Dunno why, but I could see that question asked on Charcoal's SO Channel

@AndrewT. yes, totally. That shows Channels will be a success.

Odd, I read both answers and they do appear to roughly say the exact same thing... it's broken, you should file a bug report, you could fix it yourself but don't bother... But then, I don't use craptastic operating systems, so I might be wrong... — Won't 19 hours ago

^ Wondering, is the part about the "I don't use" relevant in any way other than to raise tension?

@Derpy yes, but Won't so ...

Sorry, can't translate the probable sarcasm attempt

Implying by any chance this user is above the rules? Or just that even if the post seems a little on the rude side it is still fine?

> I took this question to a community to Unix.SE and got the answer, the community here doesn't have the expertise to know what a dupe is and what's not. Please delete this question.

But I should know I won't be able to AGF his...

oh, well, it is pretty obvious the question is dwelling on the "rant" side of the Force, but I still wonder if you need to add fuel to the fire. Sarcastic reply and ending with free attack to an operating system?

OS wars always exists...

And well, I think OP deserves that comment after ranting that badly.

It's still not "ur face is ubuntu" level

10:49 AM

@AndrewT. Even if I don't agree I will accept that. For the part about the sarcastic answer. But the OS attack... are you assuming that only the guilty user will read that? I expect users from both the Unix and the Ask.Ubuntu communities to come to the question, so the comment will "make them mad" too

to be honest, it's Won't.

@Derpy enough comments from him are removed. He is a former mod on SO. And no, he is not above the rules, so flag away if it bothers you in anyway. I commented a few times on his humour if I felt he missed a beat, often causing the comment to be deleted by him.

you are free to flag, but I'd say "meh" because I know his behavior.

And you probably now I have a bad taste of humor so by the time I feel it is off ...

It's the same as those who says "SE Android app is craptastic". Even though it's not entirely wrong, but I always twitch when I read it.

11:01 AM

@rene that is not about humor tastes, I am only wondering if that comment on that specific post isn't going to increase the already existing tension.

It might, or might not. If it feels wrong in context, do flag.

@Derpy well, Evan has seen more heat. He can handle it. I think it works in that context for that OP.

> "Well, I am afraid there's not much to say. I am just a silly old pony who worries too much!"

your words, not mine. I would never call you silly ...
