@Rubiksmoose learning? Can anyone explain why it's people who are really mad at SE who have to "learn", when they don't? And why are people so eager to fill the power vacuum? :-/
As I said though, the hardest thing for me is having to eat crow and tell everyone who used to say SE sucked when I badgered them into using it that they were right and I was wrong.
I'm having to get used to being an idiot, as well as a nobody, all in the same week! Can you imagine absorbing both of these realizations at once? That's...brutal. Could have at least spaced those out a little bit.
@ArtOfCode Has anyone told you recently how no one at StackExchange owes you anything because you're nobody? If not, then maybe you're somebody. If so I could use your help.
People hardly ever mention stack underflows. One wonders why.
I was recently looking into formalisms of WebAssembly and you really are playing with fire wihen it comes to the semantics of a stack overflow: stackoverflow.com/questions/58908855/…
And now I'm screwed because I'm having to boycott the best platform for discussing this kind of thing, on account of the being nobody aspect, and I don't work under those conditions.
@HostileForksaysdonttrustSE yes, learning. Your message was flagged because it was obviously insulting and deemed rude by people in this room. Don't do that. That's the learning part.
@HostileForksaysdonttrustSE Also please stop using this chatroom as some sort of venue for a pity party. You're just as much as a somebody or nobody as the rest of us. We're all in the same boat and most of us are upset about similar things as far as I can tell. Which is tough because honestly most of what you are saying just seems to be confusing to people.
I have no idea what you're asking me or if you're asking me anything. None of us in here are devs, we can't change anything about the infrastructure of the site.
There's 24 hours in a day, you have to spend them doing something.
If you think you don't care, trust me, the people I hang out with really don't.
I didn't want to spend this year writing a decentralized Q&A and chat platform, and now I have to. Maybe I will run it on TempleOS, just to confuse you more.
It's hard to care about something I literally can't comprehend. It's not that I don't want to care, it's that this isn't the place for you to just endlessly shout confusing complaints into the void. Please stop.
Okay. Go back to... whatever it is you handful of people who are still here do. I'm getting my decade of work out of this system and heading out like all the smart people are already doing.
@Catija Morning mourning... the night that could have been and wasn't. I swear when people mention getting more than 7 hours, I wish they'd add a trigger warning! :)
It's better than when he was first born but he has a bovine protein intolerance...Motrin used to be safe but not anymore so I don't know if it's worse to skip it or give it
The problem I have is that he's still nursing so half the time he ends up in bed around 3 or 4 and I'm just... well... dealing with a squirming, rooting ~25 pound baby for two hours.
Oh my! :( We have a co-sleeper that converts into a small crib and that's been great - used it with Bennett, too. But he's been used to having his own surface. Having him in bed was really a solution for exhaustion. He's never slept through the night, so rather than sitting up with him, we just let him join us. Just not that high a quality of sleep.
I was thinking of Muslims (whose food rules are kosherish - and they're a big minority here) and hindus (no beef, and wildly varying levels of vegitarianism)
MOPP (an acronym for "Mission Oriented Protective Posture"; pronounced "mop") is protective gear used by U.S. military personnel in a toxic environment, e.g., during a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) strike:
Protective mask — Commonly referred to as a gas mask or pro mask. It is designed to filter harmful chemical and biological agents, as well as irradiated particles from the air to allow the wearer to breathe safely. No protective masks filter out gases such as carbon monoxide, and in situations requiring that level of protection, external breathing apparatus is employed...
To me this looks like the triage desk at a hospital, where you walk in the door and ask to see someone, where they assess random walk-ins (triage) and order them by priority:
If you're going to talk about it you might as well see game changers, which, honestly I have a few critiques despite the free ticket: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_Changers
Arnold is in it. Jackie Chan chipped in. James Cameron had a few things to say.
It was only used in a few dishes, but we had to give the disclaimer it didn't meet the raw/organic standards
Zero people cared
But we still had to tell them.
One time we ran out of bananas so the boss sent me to buy some across the street and they didn't have organic ones, and I was like "um" and he goes "well, you don't have to tell them" and I said "yes, yes I do."
Well there's no real scientific evidence of organic anything being any better than anything else.
Also, the term is laden with complications.
It's like how "Lite" was used to subvert the standards of "Light", true story.
Every time people try to standardize a thing, someone hacks it.
Oh, wait, I am supposed to learn. I'll sit here and listen a bit so I learn.
In that job, I started to appreciate kale. Kale gets a bad rap, but I think when people say they don't like kale what they mean is they don't like stale kale. Fresh kale is quite nice, in a salad.
@Rubiksmoose ^-- all true stories, is this comprehensible? More comprehensible than a rubiks cube with wings? I'm trying to meet you in the middle, this is kind of what you were doing before... you know.
While I'm sure Rubiksmoose can respond for themselves... I'm not quite sure the benefit of pinging them about a random monologue about vegan, raw food.
Speaking of meat, it's hard to see what actually happens to meat when you can just pick it up in packages at a grocery store.
A couple months ago, I visited a streetside meat market in India where you can see the actual slaughtering process that happens to them. It's rather gruesome.
@JourneymanGeek I had cousins visit us here in the U.S. from India two summers ago, and they didn't eat egg. We had to be very careful when buying or cooking food.
@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog that's kinda what I meant by culture and observance :D
actually a lot of families in the deep south just have 2 sets of utencils (since people like me are worried about cross contamination too) veg and non veg, since they have specific veggie days
And yes, upon marriage, the family is expected to adopt the husband's culture (including meat preference). My mom's family was non-vegetarian, but when my mom's sister married a complete vegetarian, she and their children were expected to go that way too.
Anyway, I took some film photos of that meat market. I just had that roll developed, and got the negatives back today. I have yet to scan them; I'm wondering if I should, since those gruesome images will be burned into my mind
@HostileFork Consider the following. we're all humans trying to run this chatroom in a way that makes it not drain the sanity out of people visiting it. There aren't rules you could measure mathematically, really the primary guideline is when someone tells you to stop, stop. You are mature enough to realize what that means and adapt to it.
@Magisch Might surprise you, but I enjoy the time I have to listen to the great work of artists...and not talk here. I listen to great music and watch the stuff you say is valid, while what I say is invalid 30 minutes a long time to watch the "flow". A long time to think of what genius is, and what pettiness is.
"inappropriate content" I see how easily that button is pushed.
I turn on the news channel, hear about how there's a new super virus, how the climate is about to screw us all hard, how the US is degenerating and how every place going is apparently turning towards authoritarianism.
I'm actually a pretty nice guy if you have time to look, but no you don't, so you don't care, so I have to sit around and look at a chat ban for 30 minutes :-/ when I did nothing wrong.
A thirteen-year-old child died in a helicopter crash yesterday but all I hear is tributes to Kobe Bryant.... it's all very sad. I'm off. Time to get ready.
@Mithical People have gotten pretty upset about stuff being done from chat before, when it came to tags. A post seems a wise way to not give anyone stuff to complain about.
if that was a joke, it was not funny. If it was in good faith, thinking the user wouldn't mind it is imprudent and should be removed with some advice to avoid that in the future. If it was made to annoy the user, then a goodbye is deserved imho. But... your decision.
should knowing better is not an excuse, it's an aggravating circumstance
@BlueSoul people can do dumb things even if they don't mean anything ill. How you punish this is a matter of policy (which in case of mods also includes taste and mood)
The first mistake was starting to talk about PII-related things in the first place. The second mistake was posting whatever got flagged. The third mistake was red flagging rather than custom
