@Evilardaozkal what does it do?

Evil ardaozkal

@djsmiley2k the website is a dad joke dispenser

badp

5:10 PM

@Evilardaozkal chrome will automatically prettify JS now

Evil ardaozkal

and all the jokes are hardcoded

like HARDCODED

that is more evil than me and @Wipqozn

combined!

badp

so what? it's self contained

Evil ardaozkal

I can think of many issues.

Caching being the first.

Why not contain the jokes in a separate xml/json and make it have a shorter cache time?

if the website is not cached, then that is another problem.

@djsmiley2k if I get good enough, people will pay me to play worse so that they have a chance to win

Dragonrage

I guess I can just look through all these records of why people were fired. That should be interesting.

@Dragonrage you can also learn to be bad enough

@badp I agree, the choice is obvious

All Star is guaranteed high quality music. There are so many anime songs you will probably get a bad one.

Evil ardaozkal

@twobugs EXCEPT THAT ALL ARE GOOD

badp

whatever you do, if you don't like it, you can just scream.

in fact, you are already screaming.

it dawns on you that you have been screaming all along.

screams are all that you can hear either way.

it helps that the other guys who are about to be subjected to your arbitrary choice of music from the stationary boombox are also screaming.

you pull the lever to the right. Screams come out from the boombox.

it's screams all the way through.

soon your ears get used to it, and everything becomes silent. Forever...

the stationary trolley eventuallly is pushed back as a result of the vibrations.

screaming-induced silence is replaced eventually by true silence.

it's a very beautiful moment.

everyone is happy.

you did it!

well done.

animes have crazy stuff all the time. anime songs might save them.

Dragonrage

is there a way i can see my comments that got me the pundit badge?

MadMAxJr

Many agencies assume VB.NET / C# skills are interchangeable and if you know one of the two, they want to know if you have web experience, which usually leads to ASP.NET. The part they don't tell you is they're probably still on the 2.0 or 3.5 framework.
