daniil's Journal: Slash[para-]dox

If you post a dupe, the bots will be all over you for posting a dupe.

If you pull the dupe, the bots will be all over you for pulling the dupe, because now they cannot flame you for the dupe.

Solution? Keep posting dupes. This will keep the bots content.

Re:Duh!

Heh. I was actually referring to this guy [slashdot.org]: (quote) I know it was a dupe (not counting the fact that windows being broken is in itself a dupe), but I'm kind of frustrated not being able to flame the author about it.

*chuckle*

Yeah, I often think that sorta thing. People get entirely too angry about it. DAMN YOU, MY DAY IS RUINED NOW THAT I HAVE SEEN A STORY TWICE!!!11

Not sure what to make of the linked comment- clearly hilarious, but as with various other such things, I have no capacity to tell whether he meant it seriously or not! ;)

Re:*chuckle*

[daniil]

Well, I'm quite sure it was at least in part tongue-in-cheek, but at the same time, he still seemed to be serious about what he said :7

I haven't seen you around...for more than a year, if I remember correctly. How's you been? Have the bad/difficult times ended now?

Re:*chuckle*

[Tomble]

Different bad/difficult things, and it's possible things may get differently worse, but I'm otherwise in a much much better frame of mind than I was when I buggered off last year. OTOH, I'm finding I'm not around on the site very much now. Oh well. I did badly want to deal with my Slashdot addiction, anyway.

How about you? Anything big happen in the past... 14 months or so? :D

Re:*chuckle*

[daniil]

So many (big!) things have happened that I would even go as far as to say that this has been the most interesting year of my life. And there's still three months left in the year, so who knows, it might (nay, it will) get even more interesting.
