This one's on me.

I started a new job recently. I've been struggling to get up to speed with out large code base, and the dozens of technologies we employ. If you followed my GBS thread, you know I'm feeling significant pressure to do well at this job. Consequently, I've been staying late at work. Last night, everyone was gone by 7:00 or so, except the CIO and one of the high-level managers. The CIO left, and the manager stopped by for a talk. We chatted for half an hour or so, and he left. I was all alone in the IT Engineering room. Even the Russian guys who take care of the trash and building maintenance were gone. I spent the next hour-and-a-half or so working on various aspects of my project, keeping a full-volume conversation going with myself the entire time. That's something I do regularly when I am alone, because I am either mentally ill, or very lonely, and probably both. Suddenly, I felt a cramp in my gut. I pressed down, and let loose with an incredibly long, incredibly loud fart. It was one of those wet farts that sounds like a horse blowing a raspberry. It was extremely satisfying. I groaned in satisfaction. To celebrate, I stood up and sang

DOMO ARIGATO, MR. ROBOTO!

DOMO!

DOMO!

I was in mid-Robot when a torso swivel brought me face-to-face with the guy who was sitting in a cube directly behind my chair, and not five feet away from me. He'd been sitting back there for maybe two hours, listening to me talk to myself, and was witness to both my fart, and my Robotting. It was like 9:30 at night, and I hadn't heard a loving sound from him.

I expect bonus schadenfreude any day now when I get fired for whatever kind of harassment blasting rear end on a guy then singing Styx at him qualifies as.

Long, long ago, in 1976, I was part of my high school's crack computer team. Our school didn't actually have a computer. We had a teletype machine and a 300 baud modem. With this, we connected to the MIT mainframe and assisted seniors in finding colleges that had the progams they were interested in taking. During downtime, I figured out something. We used numerical codes to navigate, so I decided to see what other codes would do. After finding very little of interest, I managed to stumble upon the complete list of codes.

With this I was able to enter into parts of the server I was not authorized to enter. I managed to figure out a few passwords (not nearly as secure as they are today) and accessed even more. About this time, we had to do a report on some topic in biology. I decided to wow my teacher, and do my report on genetic engineering. This was a new technology (the first experiments had been done in 1973), and MIT was at the forefront. Since I had access to their primitive email system, I sent a few messages to the grad students asking questions. Eventually they figured out I was not an MIT student and questioned me. I explained what I had done, and the students approached a professor. They gave me limited access to their mainframe, in exchange for me not trying to crack the system any further. Quite a coup for a freshman high school kid.

The professor set up my account, with the tounge-in-cheek name "Genesplicer" (actually, it was "gensplcr", because login names were all 8 characters)

So, in December of this year, I will haved used the name "genesplicer" on various websites, etc, on the ARPANET, BBSs and the Internet, for 40 years.

Context: A goon got sued by RIAA, the people that sue you for downloading music.

loquacius posted:

I dunno if you know what kind of lawyers the RIAA has (had?) but fighting that poo poo would have cost waaaaay more than $3000

My dad is a lawyer and right after I was served with the notice I called him in a panic and he calmed me down by saying everything was okay and he was gonna call a friend of his in the field and we were gonna beat this. The next day he called me back and said we were paying the $3000.

Being an RIAA lawyer in the '00s must have been a p sweet gig. It's like having a company that only does billing and nothing else, and people have to pay your bills or you get to hand them an even larger bill.

Okay, I had a bit of a breakdown last night and found myself, once again, outside a five guys crying on the curb. I had been out for a jog early morning yesterday and came across a group of youths who were hanging out by the bike path, when I passed them, one of them, he had sun glasses and had his hat on backwards and I just knew he was real cool, stopped his conversation with his friends, said "check it" pointed at me and laughed and called me "big boy" and then pantomimed his arms in front of his belly bouncing around like he was pregnant or something. So of course this event was traumatic and sent me on a downward spiral of depression for the rest of the day that ended with me at 10:59 p.m eating a burger outside five guys crying over and occasionally brushing away tear drops and grease dribbles from an expired passport photo of myself as a young and beautiful and athletic 19 year old. Well five guys closes at 11 and one of the employees closing the front door only saw my backside and tears and felt bad for me and gave me a garbage bag full of free fries she was planning to throw out anyway. I accepted the gift because I liked the idea of being similar to a fat useless garbage receptacle.

So It's funny, if it weren't for that cool boy with sun glasses and the free fries, before yesterday I would have told this thread I don't eat carbs. Cheese fries would be pointless for me to speak about, but because of that young fellow, I know that there is no point to self improvement or trying to better oneself, we are all going to die anyway and age and life is pointless and no amount of effort of being proactive about ones health will ever change that, so I might as well just shovel these fries into my mouth,
AND WHY NOT WHY DONT I JUST DUMP CHEESE ALL OVER THESE THINGS. DROWN THEM AND MY MISERABLE LIFE AWAY IN CHESSE ON THESE THINGS
Might as well just order my rascal or hoverround or whatever now. You know what thread I'm gonna go to walmart right now! I'm gonna go there and practice riding around without legs, ride down the store aisles, stopping only to jostle jars of cheese balls off the shelf with a stick and just never run on the path again or wear backwards baseball caps no matter how bald I end up because gently caress it I'll be a blob melded to a scooter anyway

I found the love of my life playing Red Rover.

It was a beautiful September day, the leaves were a transient yellow-green, fluttering slowly down to the ground. A few children taunted me from the other side of the short field, calling me, the Red Rover, to come out and play. I took a few deep breaths, steadied myself, and hurled my seven year old body towards the mass of interlinked legs and arms congealed at the other end. I huffed and puffed and threw my legs forth. I rumbled and trundled towards that human fence. I slammed into it with the full fury of an overweight child desperately seeking attention.

I saw the ground spin to the air, and my back slammed the ground. I couldn't breathe. My arms flailed in the air, desperately clutching at the oxygen my lungs wouldn't draw. That was when the teacher came over. Her dress fluttered in the wind, lovingly brushing my face as I grasped the air. With a single, forceful whoosh, the dress flew over my head.

It was then I first saw panties.

Horniest Manticore posted:

Sleep is one of the greatest things in life. It comforts, soothes, revives. Consider the words of Shakespeare:

Shakespeare posted:


...the innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care,
The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast
No matter who you are, sleep is a time to rest and restore. It is a blessing available to everyone, young and old, rich or poor.

But not The Fat.

You see, The Fat have forfeited the "balm of hurt minds." They have turned away from the path of health, and so God has visited upon them the curse of sleep apnea. Sleep is no longer rejuvinating for The Fat. It no longer soothes and comforts. It is but a shadowy parody of itself, much as The Fat are themselves grotesque distortions of human beings. And The Fat have no one to blame but themselves. They decided that Pop Tarts and regular Cokes were better than sleep. Better than sleep! Gentle posters, nothing is better than sleep. This mistake is the crowning one in the misguided lives of The Fat.

Thank you for reading.

random office worker from elsewhere: yes! yeeessss! coffee run money! *he lifts the handful of bills to the sky* everyone, we live to see the morrow!
