Hello BYOB, I like to chill. I don't like the taste of coffee but I like how it keeps me awake for work so I drink it anyways

I just took a coffee break and some jerk turned off the pot warmer for the company machine. I had a room temperature cup of coffee because of this. On one hand I was upset because I depend on not being able to taste the coffee from how much it burns, but on the other hand I am thankful because now I will be able to taste dinner. I think it's supposed to be meatloaf tonight

I don't understand this thread, so many memes being reposted. Anywho hello and yeah I think one should take some time lurking for a good decade before posting.

One of my colleagues started from an AA and ended up finishing his PhD in like four years after graduating from a prestigious university, so you're not safe!

you should ask yourself "is this post funny to me?" instead of trying to fit in with what others find funny and the perception of their specific sense of humor.

the worst thing that can happen is someone doesn't find your post funny, and that's alright. but there is no such thing as a wrong sense of humor and anyone that says otherwise is a big jerkaroo

Rasmussen posted:

I think my advice would be, just be honest and be true to yourself and don't take anything personally, especially from people on the internet.

Lately I try to post like if I was saying the words to a person standing in front of me.

Love and respect everyone even if you disagree!

I think your D&D thread is doing really well, buddy!

I normally enjoy visitors from other forums but yesterday's visitor made me sad so I'm a little concerned

Zyla posted:

I am actively looking for a new career. It's too stressful.

Its why i love the yob so much, sanctuary...

do u play dnd tho?

Hogge Wild posted:

dd has the angriest posters and the most death threats, suicide requests and personal attacks

it's main function is to keep sa's worst posters away from the better forums

if you have managed to make a good thread about bideo james there, you should try to negotiate peace in the middle east. though tbh, my guess is that it won't be civil for long

Ostentatious posted:

I moved into an Embassy Suites recently and it is a vastly superior experience

free breakfast!!!!!

Barking Gecko posted:

I've lurked a while, so now I must obey the rules and post.

Random observation: BYOB regulars have interesting sigs.

Random factoid: Tomorrow I am being recognized by my employer for twenty years of service. The free lunch and the afternoon off are the best part of the deal, though.

Oh, and I'm a lawyer, but mostly I'm a librarian and a network admin.

Peace out.

I didn't want to poo poo up the very good apps thread with this but wanted to get it out of my system:

While I was sleeping, someone sent me an IM on ICQ (in tyool 2016, wtf) telling me to "cool my jets" and stop "wasting time & effort effortposting in the shitposting forum".

First, I'll never cool my jets, my jets will now and forever be on full blast 24/7.
Second, effort posting in byob has been some of the best time I've had on SA. This is a chill and cool place, but a place where good posts are appreciated and not just some meme recycling machine where everyone is ironically shitposting in shitpost threads just to compete who is ironically the biggest idiot.

*the bitter icq troll sees the continued good posts in the app thread, furrows their angry grinchy brow*
It came without upvotes!
It came without #tags!
It came without facebook likes, re-tweets, or lag!

alnilam posted:

Every yob down in yobville, the tall and the small, were posting without any upvotes at all! He hadn't stopped good posts from coming at all!

Splatmaster posted:

Every Yobber Down in Yobville Liked BYOB a lot,
But the Litany of Gulps most certainly Did NOT!
They hated the Yob! With tons of malfeasance!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be their head wasn't screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that their shoes were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all,
May have been that their heart was two sizes too small.
Whatever the reason, their heart or their shoes,
The Gulp loitered at the Yob, seeing who's who,
Staring down from their cave with a sour troll frown,
At the warm well-meaning posts they'd written down.
For the troll knew that the Yobbers were nice ,
The Gulp had a heart that was cold as ice.
"And they're complimenting each other" the troll snarled with a sneer,
"I must give these Yobbers something to fear!"
The Gulp read through the threads and ransacked posts
And soiled the writings of the Gulp's good-natured hosts!
Then they growled with troll fingers drumming,
"I must find a way to stop more Yobbers from coming!"
So they posted a post filled with hatred and fear,
"There's no way after that new Yobbers will appear!"
The Gulp stared down at Yobville, the troll popped his eyes
Then they shook, what they saw was a shocking surprise!
Every Yobber in Yobville, big sig files and small
Was still posting new threads without any care at all!
And the troll who stood with their feet in the cold
Looked upon the forum and said "how could it be so?"
Maybe good posts can't be bought in a store
And a Gulp like you can't give us the what for!
So the new posts continued, and lurkers still came
Seeking out their fortune and looking for fame
If you listen closely you can hear the sobs
Of an unwanted poster shunned by the Yob!
