    As a person who did this for a job in my youth, may I first say, fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

    As a worker, collecting stray carts that people left around the parking lot ate up the most time and was the least productive time I’ve ever spent while working. Also, at the store I worked at was fairly popular, on busy days, just collecting carts from the corrales took up enough time that I didn’t really have time left over to make up for you being a lazy asshole.

    As a consumer, I put away other people’s stray carts, not only for the reasons above but because I don’t want the cart demon to direct the carts into my car and cause it any damage. I also don’t want my discarded cart to end up causing damage to anyone else’s car. So fuck you for creating an easily avoidable problem that has the potential to damage my property. You suck.

    Objectively, returning your cart is the correct, and proper path to take. However, nobody will arrest you, or fine you for not doing it. It is purely voluntary, but universally recognized as the right thing to do. Since you do not do it, what does that mean about you as a person? I think it means you’re a dickhead.

    Stop being selfish and lazy, then justifying it with “someone gets paid to do that”. No, that’s not the reason. The reason is that you’re a terrible person, an asshole, and a dickhead.

    So I reiterate: fuck you, and the horse you rode in on.

    I feel like this is obvious.

    Honestly, I don’t give a shit if I have to work for that security, but the job markets have gone to absolute garbage. Nobody has a lifetime career at a single employer anymore. Employers don’t do raises, and just rinse through the entire employable workforce with no care in the world because there’s always some bright eyed college grad willing to take the job for less than the person who has it now, so raises don’t serve companies. Long term experience and knowledge is both highly desirable, and completely worthless.

    If you’re trying to get a job for anything beyond entry level, you must have years and years of experience with the specific products and software that company uses to manage their company. Experience you could only have if you’ve worked there before.

    Entry level positions have wages so low it’s barely better than working at McDonald’s.

    The world is fucked.







  • I had to stop playing when I saw the review for AC 3 (I think) from Zero punctuation.

    He pointed out that the quests were almost entirely “gofer” quests… You know, you go over there and get that, then go fer that other thing and go…

    I started the game not long after and I have to say, he was right. And every time I was given a quest to go somewhere only to talk to someone with little to no reason for doing so other than, I have nothing better to do in the game… When that happened, I heard his voice in my head talking about how annoying gofer quests were.

    It annoyed me, and I stopped playing as a result. Never got past the first chapter.

    I think it’s a modification of “360 noscope” which is a gaming term for an unexpected change in a game stemming from fps games like counter strike. The term basically relates to a high skill/high luck shot usually involving a quick rotation and/or flick shot, where you didn’t use the scope of the weapon to help improve accuracy, but made the shot anyways.

    Basically saying it was a highly unlikely outcome…

    The “nopost” which replaces “noscope” is probably their way of referencing the above while making it relevant to the context (a post).

    I’ll admit, the words, taken at face value, do not make a lot of sense. The entire thing relies on a general understanding of the 360 noscope meme.


  • I would argue that it’s common sense to at least make a point in time copy, to… IDK, a USB drive? Before trying to implement a new source/control system.

    Just plug in an external drive, or a thumb drive, copy/paste, unplug it, then proceed with testing.

    I don’t see how anyone who values their time and effort could do any less.

    As for the files, undelete is a thing, and it shouldn’t be hard to do.
