Congrats to @ybbaaabby! A true champion! This was so fun. I hope you guys are listening to the positives along with counting the negative comments. I think you are, as a site, finding the balance here during all of this. I can only imagine how hard it is to argue with friends and colleagues about this stuff in a respectful way that isn't going to send off people into the holidays in a weird funk. People love the "knives out" energy without actually thinking of the cost it might have with everyone.
When I think about arguing with co-workers over things and trying to find good ways... it's hard. Personally, I think everything was handled fine. Either way, don't let the comments steer you guys in a way that would be bad for you as a group.
Thank you to my favorite site. Been here the whole time and can only appreciate it more and more as time goes on.
Special thanks to @janman holding down the fort with pure energy. True Gamer of the Year. <> Pogi bois ain't got shit on you!
@bladededge: Wholesome endorsement, no caveats. This is what everyone should want, even if it's not for you and you don't necessarily appreciate what's going on.
I just didn't want this to go by and nobody saying this is a good thing. It is.
I really vibe with @alex with how his education went and his first IT jobs. I TOTALLY had the exact same sort of situations but maybe somehow through more meekness? or maybe I wasn't chemically more inclined to being depressed, either way, I was able to push through and continue down the IT path. I even went to ITT Tech to somehow "focus on the technology" which was BS. The only benefit to powering through is that after years, you actually can tell people that they're actually wrong lol. Is that worth it? Probably not. ITS ALL I HAVE DAMMIT!
Oh boy. The south Virginia and Carolinas pedants are going to have a field day with the barbecue talk. Hey! Pedants! It doesn't matter! I promise. It all tastes good. Meat on a grill is good stuff. Let's just leave it at that.
It's bonkers how well they just happened to match Vinny's voice with SimVinny. I looked away while Vinny was talking and SimVinny was moaning and groaning and was VERY confused.
