Reverse grow house sting. A victory.

bipedalshark 7 points8 points 1 day ago[-]

How is this a victory? The "sting" planner merely got his charges dropped, and the police weren't disciplined in any way.

List of U.S. Minimum Wages

bipedalshark 3 points4 points 3 days ago[-]

That is incredible. Massachusetts is the last place I'd expect to see wage slavery.

A terminally ill teenager ties the knot with her childhood sweetheart as her final wish

Would you be willing to compromise a smidgen and settle on 20?

Kinect launching in Spain with "Mexican" voice support, not Spanish

bipedalshark 0 points1 point 6 days ago[-]

This is an alright argument to make except for the fact that "Mexican" is not a language, and referring to Spanish as such is typically associated with illiteracy (compare with those who implore others to "speak American"). If Microsoft wanted to specify that they have voice support for Latin-American Spanish, the standard way to indicate this is with "Spanish (Latin American)."

While scrolling through a GameFaqs guide on Mass Effect, I read a personal note by the author. Control F "my sister"

he reminds me of one my sisters boyfriend's.

Oh for fuck's sake.

Betrayal

bipedalshark 0 points1 point 10 days ago[-]

I think you missed my point. I even said what my point was (hint: I'm on your side).

Betrayal

bipedalshark 4 points5 points 10 days ago* [-]

It kind of matters: I prefer commentators to be competent speakers of their primary language. But my point was that nitpickers like swilts above likely harp on single mispronounced words in exclusion of others precisely because they mispronounce the other words themselves.

Betrayal

I'm not sure (most?) starcraft players and (all?) commentators realize what incompetent pronunciators they really are, what with "zel-OT" and "bare-ACKS" and the like.

'rm' Horror Stories: "Out of habit, I typed 'passwd' after '/etc/' and removed the password file. Oops."

bipedalshark 0 points1 point 14 days ago[-]

I've typed rm -f /h[tab][enter] (rm -f /home) when I meant to type rm -f .h[tab][enter] (rm -f .htaccess), missing the dot by one key. For some reason, I didn't throw in the -r flag like I usually do out of laziness for anything, but I still fell out of my fucking chair.

Whoosh?

Marine Blues

bipedalshark 26 points27 points 29 days ago[-]

Realism/plausibility takes a back seat to balance in Starcraft. Marines shooting air fighters is one thing, but infestors store theoretically-unlimited infested terrans in their bodies and can send their neural-parasite cord all the way up to control a mothership, WHICH IS A CITY.

What to respond to "Perl 6 isn't Perl any more"

bipedalshark 3 points4 points 1 month ago[-]

TIL the Britons call them "brackets."

What to respond to "Perl 6 isn't Perl any more"

bipedalshark -1 points0 points 1 month ago[-]

You mean "parentheses" and not "brackets," and I said "mostly" and not "exclusively."

What to respond to "Perl 6 isn't Perl any more"

bipedalshark 10 points11 points 1 month ago[-]

Oh, so you're the shitbag upvoting all the comics and lame dailywtf posts.

What to respond to "Perl 6 isn't Perl any more"

bipedalshark -1 points0 points 1 month ago[-]

Yes, it is. Python 3 is a very small shift from Python 2. It's mostly changes in the core library and not syntax.

You must believe in the Christian myth of libertarian free will.

Fat Americans Should Not Get Handicap Spots

bipedalshark -3 points-2 points 1 month ago[-]

Self-assured, simple-minded people find it easier to assume that all obesity consists in moral failing.

What are some habits in video games you thought only YOU did?

bipedalshark 5 points6 points 1 month ago[-]

I have over 70 hours logged in Dragon Age, and I've never done more than 1-2 segments of the main quest. =[

Can you vets give me advice on playing as zerg?

bipedalshark -1 points0 points 1 month ago[-]

Switch to Terran or Protoss. Zerg has the least-traditional gameplay as far as RTS games go, giving them a steeper learning curve.

My boyfriends birthday soon

Or you can just preemptively apologize after every post and comment.

My boyfriends birthday soon

bipedalshark 2 points3 points 1 month ago[-]

Unfortunately, red wavy lines don't show up when you're supposed to use "it's" and not "its."

My boyfriends birthday soon

I was about to make fun of you for your spelling and grammar until I read the last sentence, and now I feel like an asshole.
