How does the initial advice work for guys?
I don’t have accessories, am I supposed to take one shoe off or something??
Pants
Integer underflow. You're supposed to put on 65535 accessories (or 2 billion, depending on your int size)
Our int max is the number of fingers we have, so 10
Oh no... I implemented my AccessoryCount as an unsigned BigInt for some reason. That's more than the particles in the known universe.
I'll just step outside on a clear night and claim that the stars themselves are my accessories. Is that too pretentious?
In that case, add 3 and go again! Scarf it up!!
The interrobang is back‽
I fukken love me an interrobang. I have a shell alias on my computers that copies one of those bad boys into my clipboard so I can more easily display my shocked puzzlement. It's very useful when dealing with msft products, especially Azure.
For me, the problem is different 🤔 I work in an environment with young people 👶 Young people who speak with emojis 💯 and they expect others to speak with emojis as well 🤝 So when I write a message or a mail 📩 Then I need to figure out which emoji I need to replace the periods with 😅 And the minefield is kinda terrible, since some of the "regular" emojis are considered highly passive agressive 🙂
This is hilarious to read for me because my mind automatically makes a pause after every emoji, longer than two periods, and it feels like every sentence is very emphasized. But the silence is filled with this not-so-serious emoji. Idk, hard to explain it
it's better to just not. just let them do their thing, and you and i can continue sending actually legible communication.
I use emoji as ponctuation but it is always point (^_^)
Thanks a lot. 👍
The accessory I remove after looking at the mirror is usually myself. I just give up going out. lol
Hey... everyone... why aren't you talking about the fucking swastika part? What?
Coco Chanel was a Nazi collaborator.
Wait until you hear about L'Oréal nazi.
Relatable!!!!.!!!
I don't know if I have ever used an exclamation point in a work email.
My issue is usually how to phrase asking someone for something, when I am actually commanding them for something.
I started using exclamation marks because of constant feedback that all sentences ending in periods is read as mean or something.
It is absolutely stupid needing to cater to people who read into things in the worst possible way, but it seems to be working.
For command vs questions, some people will feel obligated to treat any communication as a command and there isn't anything I have found to avoid it. Just like how some people treat direct statements that something is required to mean it is optional.
Mine is deciding whether to start with a “Hi <name>” when replying, or just directly responding without a greeting, usually when there’s already been a lot of back and forth or I’m getting annoyed at the person.
When I'm annoyed, the salutation gets dropped. That way they know shit is getting real.
It is a work email. Get rid of all of them.
No!
Let me change to some less professional tone :
It's a work email. Get rid of all of them!
Does that make one a… grammar nazi?
Sometimes the accessory she removed was the swastika.
One per email is all you get!
Me, looking in the mirror while wearing 37 pieces of flair
Hmmm...
Now, you know it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or... well, like Kolanak, for example, has thirty seven pieces of flair, okay. And a terrific smile.
Not sure why I would use an exclamation mark on a work email
Feigned enthusiasm/friendliness. "Thanks for catching that problem!"
No worries that you fucked things up! If you could just get your shit together, that would be great! Thanks so much for making me have to follow up with you to accomplish the very basics of your job!
Hey, my enthusiasm is genuine!
Wouldn't want to bother myself
reminds me of the movie l.a. story where this is used in one scene by steve martins narcissistic girlfriend
All periods. Don't use "!".
