I've always wanted a sequel (or spiritual successor, or rip-off) of "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King". It was just a WiiWare game, but I really remember enjoying the building and simulation aspect of controlling RPG characters.

Giving this a go on my next argument XD

Yes! If I'd just been fired, the last thing I would care about are their feelings, and how my firing is part of the "strategic goal" I am no longer involved in.

He also mentioned taking full responsibility. That line should have been followed by how he did that. Pay reduction for himself? Upper management?

I feel personally attacked, haha

Some pretty cool data in there :)

Thanks for sharing! While the victims were being scorned by the internet for not having proper backups, nobody was sharing how to achieve that.

You can use `git blame` for who touched a line last, but you should tread lightly with it. If you fix a typo in a comment, move some whitespace, etc, you're now to "blame".

I was suspended in high school for "hacking"; this was in 2000. I added two (crudely named) folders to an old DOS style typing teaching software.

My presentation would have just been "I pressed F10, and typed in bad words", but it would have been preferable to a three day suspension, haha. I hope this is the outcome!

I'd bet money it's just binary represented in uppercase and lowercase.

So of course let's talk about a dozen different types of them!

Welcome to Ford! To be considered for this position, please list every GM Model from 1983 to 1987.

Not me, but my father in law, located in the midwest, is a sql dev. He's about to retire in a few years, switched jobs a few years back. From what he tells me, they didn't care that he was going to retire soon, they needed his skillset.

Location probably matters. My (also midwest) company was foaming at the mouth for a competent Java/SAP developer (which, forgive me for being catty, seems like a technology only a 40+ yr old would fill) a few years ago, never found anybody, position was never filled.

New Silicon Valley trend: Bosses demand subordinates eat their feces.

> Well, I read this article that said eating poop makes you a better worker so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Woof, a lot of reply's to this one.

Everybody's taken this to mean that I'd just go around yelling "Dick" every hour on the hour, or that I would be describing last night's penetration to everybody. Of course not.

Yes you would read the room first, but I still think you should have the freedom to express yourself if you're not harming others. Just because you don't like swear words, and you hear one from me, doesn't mean that I'm harming you.

People calling it unprofessional are likely browsing HN or Reddit while at work. Not sure how much that aligns with being professional. By the way, if you're not wearing a suit right now you're being unprofessional. Maybe getting your work done is the only baseline to being professional, and saying "dick" doesn't stop me or you from getting work done.

To the people who don't think dick jokes are funny. I do. You don't. shrug

Obviously if her work was being assigned differently, or having her work heavily scrutinized because of it, then they're in the wrong.

The unequal thing is interesting though.

Do you think it's the first time any of them made a joke about their junk to co-workers? Or jokingly asked about call girls to each other?

Changing their behavior, for one person, would be special treatment. And not only that, pandering. By speaking that way, they _were_ treating her as equal.

I think that point is lost in this.
