I don’t want them to be valid I want them to be gone.

This needs to be a t-shirt.

I'd buy it in every color.

No Mr. Developer, I am not wrong. When I show you that I am running the test patient through the measures, and the test patient passes on a measure because you have it looking for Less than or Equal to, and it should be Less than only... I am not wrong. You did not just 'copy it from the specs'. You did it wrong. You will need to fix it.

If a woman speaks up to a dude about sexist behavior and you, another woman, have witnessed and/or been subject to this same behavior...

...don't harangue the first over how it's 'just a joke' and you enjoy it (which sort of implies that she should too).

(Note: I am not the wronged party in this. A friend is. But that honestly has me even more pissed off and wanting to do some hair pulling.)

@Auspice Bet she earned super big points with that guy.

I hate thinking of it that way, but considering the shit he also said to my friend? Yeah.

Yeah, I bet she did.

@Auspice Disclaimer: I didnt say that in any way "hey that's how the game is played" but more "I bet that girl got brownie points for selling out on behalf of her own self interest."

APPARENTLY. REAL FRIENDSHIP INVOLVES SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER IN ALL CAPS. THAT IS WHAT THIS MEANS. PAGES AND PAGES OF RAGING AGGRESSIVE AFFECTION. AAAHHHH.

@herja I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

They already live in the north, I don't think you can eject them from the human race much further.

Band was amazing. Show was amazing.
(Being hit on by the bass player was a real good/needed boost to the ego.)

But holy shit being hunted down by someone's wife on instagram to have her grill me because her 'best friend' saw me close to her man and she needed to know if he cheated on her with me is not the sort of shit I need. Good thing she provided a photo of him.

It was the guy who ended up next to me in the crowd. Y'know. Crowds. At concerts. Where everyone is pressed in tight. Yup. Close by sheer fortune of proximity at a concert.

And the truth of it: he was a goddamn gentleman. He actually pushed back another guy who tried forcing himself to the front (we were at the stage) and right up against my back, near pinning me to the stage. So damn girl, trust your man a bit more and question that so-called 'friend' a bit.

I did talk to this guy a bit before the show and he dropped an 'ex-fiancee' mention. ...and in her stream of messages she called him both husband and fiance so I am wooooondeeeeering if there is some stalker-shiz going on on her end. EITHER WAY NOT MY CIRCUS. I just told her nothing happened and he was, in point of fact, a gentleman.

Could whichever one of you coders is fucking with the weather system, please test your code before putting it in production.

And no, Australia is not the test server.

You sure?
I thought that's how Australia started. 'Let's send all our degens down there to test it out first.'

(that aside, stay safe.)

“It’s a miracle, a terrible terrible miracle!” said one east coast resident whose burning house was now underwater. “Sure my entire town might still be destroyed, but at least now the news will be able to run with some lighthearted footage of a guy canoeing down the street.”

If you want, you lot can borrow footage of the fella canoeing down the street during a tornado warning in my parents' town.
