People like me wrote your world, you goddamn ingrate. Without people like me, civilization as you know it would not fucking exist.until programmers get over themselves and realize they are not the normal use case for pretty much any piece of consumer technology, we will continue to have these stupid arguments with stupid people like ryan

I stand corrected, then. I keep forgetting that the provincial and federal level parties aren't actually the same.Aaron wrote:Actually he works for the Alberta conservatives. I don't think their the same.

I'm sorry, outside of antisocial nerds, people consider the government and political parties using social media, in addition to the mass media, to engage the public on issues of interest to them, to be 'productive work'. TRY AGAINRyanThunder wrote:Facebook and twitter are not productive work.

I could explain what's wrong with this but you'd probably just accuse me of not listening no matter what I said. Because obviously you're infallible.RyanThunder wrote:ah, what's the point. You and Los, etc. are never going to admit that programmers are critical to the functioning of modern society, and I'm never going to pretend that you're qualified to write laws without any technical knowledge in whatever it is you're legislating. or that your party does more good than harm, for that matter. Los and Zod will forever dance around any points I make, and IS will occasionally pipe in with a hearty 'fuck you' for good measure.
so why don't we skip the 70 pages of shitposting and just descend into name-calling.

so why don't we skip the 70+ pages of shitposting and just descend into name-calling, already.
Alright, sorry.Phantasee wrote:it's not a question of whether programmers are critical to the functioning of modern society
i completely agree they are
Well, I have the sneaking suspicion that the public in general is just simply not even aware of alternatives. I mean, without intending to imply that its bad if you don't; do you even know what an iPaq was?but in matters of consumer technology, you (as a class of people) seem to be blind to the wants and needs of the rest of society
your needs are not the same as everyone else's needs, and your opinions are not objectively correct
dismissing the buying habits of the public, dismissing the public's opinions, doesn't help you (as a class of people) in any way
