Oh... oh dear...

I know I shouldn't, but this was too good to miss.

(From part of the Question Thread, about installing Linux)
Eddy wrote:The pesky fact that I literally can't make the software do what I need it to do would seem to play a role here. One can hardly help the limitations of software and it makes no sense to criticize me for throwing up my hands in defeat when faced by such insurmountable limitations. Complain all you like about my cultural identity or artistic failings or whatever else, but don't blame me for problems inherent to software.

Kereb wrote:Hitting that button would require a full extension of my arm, and my elbow could hyperextend in the process. Then I'd have to worry about getting to the hospital, having my dislocated elbow immobilized with a sling, and put on all kinds of painkillers. That is if my mom would even drive me there, which is unlikely if she knows I injured myself trying to save my porn stash. Most doctors here in the Bible Belt probably wouldn't even treat such an injury, thinking it best I learn a lesson through some "tough love".
And who's to say the magic button would even fix everything. I've heard of magic buttons that only fixed ninety percent of their owner's problems. Which would still leave me sitting here having to take on the remaining ten percent of this harrowing confrontation with destiny myself. So it seems pointless to me to waste my time on an approach that's only going to leave me right back where I started.

But now, having spent a bit of time here, I've realised that beneath this thin veneer of pedantry and lingual geekiness there's a sophisticated sort of irony amongst you all, which I quite like.

Just thought I might let you know.

I don't know whether to feel inspired or insulted. The antibenefactive does sound kind of handy either way, though.

I've been banned on the CBB because Aszev is an ass.
Yes, I have managed to do so, while avoiding being accused of racism more than twice EDIT: three times.

No, because you're annoying and ruin all specific joke threads.

Because the mods here don't care whether someone's a cunt or not; more simply whether they've actually broken the rules.
