@tophmey I don’t have dinner with other women at work, that’s for sure

@jodyjeffrey Yes I was there, I saw it happen

@sriramk the key is to buy some really good dance emotes

@sriramk suuuper addictive btw

@jessamyn the phone tech who gets you has truly won the lottery!

@michaelpryor I think he modified the "bullshit" to BS, probably ;)

@joshk should be written in Russian

@Vodouman @damienkatz feel free to drop by and visit any time!

@sassiestone 👁👁

@damienkatz https://t.co/QJZktYqWW8

@senjaiRW that's a part of it, but it's also about Stack Overflow itself not being the *goal*

@sgrif @brittballard I don't know.. did you? #fomo

@seesharp Do you have one?

@BradWestness You have erected a straw man, have at it

@johnolilly I think there was (sadly) a sizable contingent of “I hate Hillary’s guts” votes where they would have voted for literally anyone on the other side no matter how crazy

@johnolilly Also go see Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.. trust me on this one!

@johnolilly I like to think they didn’t fully understand what they were voting for, at least half of them anyway

@GiuseppePiscopo @BradWestness We are not talking about personal life though are we, we are talking about work life on work premises on work time

@Carnage4Life yes my immediate reaction was "so it's like thanksgiving dinner?" and uh, is that an improvement?

@cwodtke That Bright movie on netflix? I thought it was reasonably good!

@wilshipley 🐱🐱🐱

@Una @chriscoyier https://t.co/D60yXnjPLf

@endearingbrew @BradWestness you can't literally disallow it, but it should be strongly discouraged in official terms, and flat out disallowed in the case of boss-employee situations

@mathowie "the heart wants what the heart wants" to hell with your heart, do the damn work!

@mathowie PLUS he was already married PLUS it was a boss-employee situation, ugh

@BradWestness I clearly said "at work".

@BradWestness at ABSOLUTE *MINIMUM* it should be disallowed when the power levels are different, e.g. he was her boss or vice versa. This is non-negotiable.

@kworthington @discourse welcome to the billionaires club, my friend

@shanecelis I like your version even better! 👏

@Richardjboothe @TashasEv @burkeholland I know this is a joke but the idea that people are standing around in a big circle watching people scream at each other is also .. not good for anyone's mental health

@drob @JasonPunyon @lauradobrzynski What I learned with Jason is that the key is to have absolutely zero expectations, like none whatsoever. "Did *something* happen? WIN!"

@JasonPunyon @lauradobrzynski to be fair this has never stopped Jason before

@AdamTuttle each of these are independent, standalone thoughts so it is as I intended it

@gdinwiddie A child who attends aftercare alongside one of my children. Three of them technically, but only this one really remembered what I said.

@486timetable BURN IT ALL

@Pinboard Actual Google+ screenshots are also enraging

@ProtomCannon We can migrate you to @discourse on fast dedicated colocated hardware with Patreon integration, for well under $500/month. No ads needed.

@terrajobst The present may or may not have been an air horn

@lauradobrzynski @JasonPunyon Don't allow talking unless you have something tangible to show with the talk?

@joshtaylor be smart enough to press ctrl+f twice, my friend

@tedneward does it spray stuff? pshaw! DOES IT PUT OUT AN ACTUAL FIRE, my friend?

@JasonPunyon is this.. is this.. an autobiographical work?

@tedneward gotta schedule some yearly fires to make sure our fire prevention system works, yes? just like backups ;)

@tlesher I guess there could be a handful of safety exemptions

@sarahjeong this guy doesn't even understand WRITING

@damageboy Today, or 200 years ago ;)

@james_clark agreed! Even 50 years ago things were not so great for women even in advanced countries, for example.

@Beschizza I actually feel the mouth eyes thing is the least grotesque of the 3

@nicksahler yes but that's a different, speculative argument. We know the past. We don't know the future.

@envygeeks so you'd trade today for 500 years ago? That would .. not .. be a smart trade.

@coderabbi Mixture of both, chat becomes rough bullet point template for deeper discussion

@leog to be clear, I don't oppose it as a "new feature" request, at all.. I just object to "this is a bug" classification :)

@leog I suffer the same malady :)

@manishrjain the funny thing is that this sort of good intentioned advice can in fact be fatal

@manishrjain "You have built a car.. but have you considered building a truck instead?" https://t.co/TyRqhKApCL

@gdinwiddie see https://t.co/yVz9p92ePA

@aaevans88 their webhooks are slack-compatible

@manishrjain it's not really what we do, though -- chat works at the word level, "OK", "yes", "no" whereas Discourse is about paragraphs, complete sentences. That said see 2nd *paragraph* of https://t.co/BWMsrbKe1X

@kevindente https://t.co/IO3lW14KR0

@alexc @flowdock see also https://t.co/IO3lW14KR0

@GarethOates @Deukhoofd yep, Slack raised the bar

@xor I recently did the same and highly recommend it (taking a break from Twitter)

@coderabbi as a remote only team, we need it by definition. We know to store truly important things in longer term memory, though.

@Unaz @voretaq7 IRC was designed in 1953 and it shows. Just a hideous protocol, should be eradicated.

@voretaq7 because IRC is fucking awful and always has been?

@benkershner or @discourse of course 😉

@betsyphd @agirlandaboy books can't be worth that much, I'd take that with a grain of salt

@vathpela the article is super unclear

@vadorounet where does it say that? I found this article hard to parse

wait, did they mean seeing a supporter in a video with no audio? I am unclear how video with audio would do worse than audio-only?

@tobermatt @Supermathie See also “machine gun” which has a very technical definition as well

@punitsoni @joshk @gorobinai Same graph for higher education in colleges, massive cost increase over time, absorbed by fleets of middle managers

@mims @KristyT We couldn’t see it before, that .001% didn’t have a platform to puff themselves up as a group and look relevant

@Pinboard oh I was being nice with this choice, believe me

@Pinboard it's just so damn american

@Pinboard https://t.co/tKbfuSmaz9

@Pinboard you drive a hard bargain Maciej

@Carnage4Life I would also say policy differences matter, but only in the big "from space view" picture: abortion, guns.

@Pinboard honor system of course! but I'd trust you more than practically anyone else I know

@Pinboard I will donate another $500 right now if you watch the "Save a horse, ride a cowboy" Big & Rich video on youtube.. in its entirety

@Carnage4Life a whole lot of people just haaaated Clinton's guts, rational or not, that's what happened. Way more than anyone realized.

@Pinboard not that twibbons aren't important and all. but money works.

@Pinboard anyways I sent another $500 just now, to match the $500 I sent a day or two ago. My advice to people these days is shut the fuck up and send money

@Pinboard as long as we can expend effort on practical things like elections, and not pointlessly tilting at the Twitter windmill, I'm 107.2% for it.

@valentijn @szechuan Someone gave that octopus a TANK???

@LeaVerou @snipeyhead I wish I could believe that

@johnnyrodgersis @rands Discourse is an extremely complex javascript app that runs in the browser, and none of that has been relevant to us. Extremely high speed JS execution.. has. And Safari has been GREAT at that for years.

@snipeyhead @LeaVerou If only it scaled.. unlimited emotional labor will kill anyone

@taviso I wonder if we should have you look at @discourse .. wait on second thought maybe not <runs away>

@johnnyrodgersis @rands This isn’t really true, Safari had crazy fast mobile JavaScript under complex JS app frameworks like Ember.js for two years before Google did anything about it.

@gknauss Brb romantimatic alert

@onyxraven @mathowie Part of it is pushing back on “but our forum has to run on ultra low end ten cents a month 256 megabyte ram hosting!”

@kevindente looks good to me

@kevindente what do the detailed battery life apps say about your battery state, first?

@marcgravell suggestion, play the massively multiplayer online rpg "stack overflow"

@mathowie This is why in Discourse we default to auto-mirroring remote images locally (unless they are over a large size threshold) and we always have.

@marcprecipice @Twitter I agree with this particular item 100% but that has to play out in court

@migueldeicaza Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter

@Pinboard I am all for focusing on elections, now and upcoming, and I think those efforts are much more likely to be effective.

@Pinboard @michelleimiller I don't feel this particular approach is a productive use of time, versus focusing on elections.
