and also yes

perfect for those cold winter nights!

maaaaan who the fuck lives life like it’s NOT a choose your own adventure.

turn to page 57 if you’re interested in finding out.

turn to page 72 if you don’t care and would like to continue scrolling.

soooooo the only thing that can stop a bad cop with a gun… is a good cop with a gun?

oooh,

sprawled across the floor the cat and its belly trap set waiting to commence

personally, i know it would have made me feel quite cross about the whole situation.

also panther only refers to the fact that it’s a big cat from the pantera family if i am not mistaken: mountain lion, lion, jaguar, leopard, tiger

so the people saying “what species is the pink panther” actually have a legitimate point in saying he could be a pink lion. people saying “it’s just a panther” don’t understand what they’re actually saying. it’s like, okay what kind of panther?

a couple minutes of photoshop and a smudge or burn tool would also negate all the effects

i worked for a hybrid hosting and cloud provider that was partnered with Electronic Arts for the SimCity reboot.

well half way through they decided our cloud wasn’t worth it, and moved providers. but no one bothered to tell all the outsourced foreign developers that they were on a new provider architecture.

all the shit storm fail launch of SimCity was because of extremely shitty code that was meant to work on one cloud and didn’t really work on another. but they assumed hurr hurr all server same.

so you guys got that shit launch and i knew exactly why and couldn’t say a damn thing for YEARS

hahaha, the solar panels aren’t aligned to the windows

so typically in CSS, you work with columns of sorts, and then you have a bit of a gutter zone on either edge. edit: forgot to mention, the gutter columns are there to provide a bit of a whitespace buffer on the left and right side of the page so the eyes are drawn toward the center portion of the webpage.

this looks like those cases where the developer makes something aligned to the absolute edge of the webpage rather than aligned to the edge of the column it’s supposed to be in. so you get a bunch of stuff looking nice and neat (the windows are symmetrical for the area of the house they are in, and the solar panels are placed above said windows).

the problem is that one of the sets of solar panels looks like it had the spirit of being aligned to the window, but is instead off to the right of it.

as someone who has a touch of the sperg, i theorize that CSS developers do this as a national sport akin to professional chicken, and they do it to see how much they can fuck with a perfectly aligned page and still get away with it because people don’t realize it’s on purpose. but that could also be because i’m bitter lol

i wish they’d just fucking nut up and be up front about it. then you can at least see it in plain view as can everyone else.

“we’re putting down dissent, regardless of if it kills our site usage or valuation. get on board or fuck off.” is the exact same thing that’s occurring, but is at least slightly more respectable than this microsoft-esque “we’re doing this for your own good (whether you like it or not)” approach.
