Maybe just “coding”?


"Creating"


I can only watch it on Telemundo and they don’t show commercials besides during halftime as far as I’ve noticed.


Oh good idea. I should watch there and turn the volume down

Thanks for the pro tip.


I’m not surprised.


Seems to me like he just wanted to advertise that song.


Do you really believe the latest season of Stranger Things is « great tv »?

It tastes like bland mashed potatoes to me.


This person gets it.


When I took the GRE in 2017, I got a really bad bloody nose right when the test started and I couldn't pause the test.

The person monitoring wouldn't let me have a bunch of tissues at the computer (Perhaps due to cheating concerns), so each time I needed a new tissue I had to raise my hand and she gave me one.

I didn't end up scoring very well.


Sounds like you should have bled all over the computer and let them deal with it. The lack of empathy they showed is abhorrent. Ugh. I’m sorry to hear that.


This happened to me during a written final exam, and yes I bled on the test a bit. Was using one hand to control the bleeding, but sometimes I had to turn pages, plus it was dripping all down my arm. Even the digital scan showed my bloody fingerprints on every page plus some large drop stains.


That's like suggesting you trash a hotel room because of some grievance with corporate policy. What actually happens is some innocent housekeeper gets stuck cleaning up the mess you made. The local test proctors are tasked with following very strict procedures and not given any room for discretion, especially if the testee isn't voluntarily withdrawing. It has nothing to do with an individual lack of empathy.


No it isn't, nothing is being trashed. The proctors should be better trained instead of required to behave like unsympathetic robots.


The fact that the proctor refused to break protocol while the test was in-session demonstrates proper training.


Do you think they have a written tissue protocol?


Absolutely.


I find that kind of hilarious. Especially as they are the ones providing the tissues.


> What actually happens is some innocent housekeeper gets stuck cleaning up the mess you made.

Thus costing the company money which, was the ultimate goal.

One person doing this can be thought of as an asshole, when a meaningful percent of people behave this way you get actual change and or lawsuits.


ironic. they demonstrate the exact lack of empathy they think they are deriding


The way some people have zero empathy hurts me a lot....


Sometimes you may need one when putting in those wooden rod things? Not sure what they are called.

I typically just use the butt end of the screwdriver when I have to put them in

Edit: didn’t see the other reply mentioning the same thing :(


> those wooden rod things

Dowels.


I like my name for them better!


One thing I dislike about using Reddit (At least when accessing the main page from a browser) is that I have to be logged into an account in order to sort comments.

Was this always a thing? I cannot remember if this was in the case in the past, and I don't really have a Reddit account that I actually log into ever.


I think potentially they cannot view the article due to region blocking?


Same here, where probably less than 0.001% of the population know who he was. I can't imagine what's the logic behind blocking something that doesn't consume measurable bandwidth.


How did you make those comics? Is there something that just generates the html for you?


Is there something that just generates the html for you?

Exactly. I rolled my own CMS just for this. No images, just html and superfast svg built from database parameters. I'll be launching a full webcomic only site by the end of the year. I hope to include source at some point. I'll keep you posted.
