A lot of things online are funny. I just haven't found a "geeky/techy/sciencey" that's funny that I "follow".

Context.

We all stroke our egos in one way or another. For example, if I were to say "you take pride in your work", you could also say that I was "accusing" you of "ego stroking". Would you find that insulting?

I think you find it insulting because you believe it, and find that revelation uncomfortable.

What's insulting about it? The assumption that he owns t-shirts or that he uses his own judgement to discriminate between the good ones and bad ones while shopping for them?

All fine talking points, we've all heard countless times.

Now, if you'd like, please actually address the content of my post.

Then, please, enlighten me. How is either funny in any way other than the way I've stated?

You don't need religion for that kind of insanity. Do some reading about the dechristianisation of France during the French Revolution. I'll wait.

Nasty, isn't it? Given the evidence, it's difficult to believe that ideological atheism won't lead to irrationality and bloodshed just as quickly and easily as any religion.

Facts are trolling now? Damn.

Name one.

You quoted it. There's years worth of analysis there.

Once again - because you obviously need the advice!

Let it go man. It's really not important. Promise.

Why are you so obsessed with this?

Oooh, a typo! I must be a moron!

At least you seem to have calmed down. Let's rile you up a bit. :)

Do you see it? If not, perhaps you should stop posting from your daddy's slashdot account.

Relax. It's a forum on the internet. You'll get over it.

You missed this bit:

You can call that 'smart' and 'funny' if you like. Just don't expect everyone to agree with you.

More like an invitation to like-minded individuals. There's a lot of group-think on Slashdot and XKCD is, inexplicably, a darling to many users here. Some people feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts and opinions when they know that they're not alone.

I haven't found one.

What makes you laugh at things merely because you recognize them?

You know that that's a long debunked myth, right?

jQuery was never good at "harmonizing all of the bits of personality across vendors and versions". It even introduced it's own long list of browser incompatibilities. Remember the IE8 fiasco? That was all due to the grossly incompetent design of jQuery. It's all on c.l.j, if you're willing to do a bit of digging.

I banned it ages ago, for technical reasons. I can't even begin to predict how many thousands of hours we've saved as a result.
