Programming Notes

Hello, you fat useless monsters. I am busy this weekend so I have neither the time nor the inclination to do one of the rants you all love so much, but I have some things I wanted to share.

First: if any of you are not reading xkcdexplained, why aren't you? They are amusing and you will like them. FACT.

Second: do you hate us so much you want to complain about us in real time, via IRC? The good folks at #xkcd-sucks on Foonetic would like you to verbally abuse them. The link just there is an IRC link. This one is a link for those of you who don't have IRC clients. It uses Mibbit.

Mostly it is aloria making dick jokes.

  4. "Note: the pornographic females in the last panel of this strip have significantly more detailed hair than the scientist female (or nearly any other character in previous strips). This is due to the fact that the Author spent much more time drawing them, as he enjoys drawing women as sexual symbols more than as intellectual characters."

    I lol'd

  5. THO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

    I have been browsing this channel, communicating with it's inhabitants, they were extremely rude, anti-semitic, used inappropriate language and were insulting me on a person level. They payed no attention to rationality, reason and had no respect for fellow humans.

    I do not recommend you set foot in this IRC™ Channel, as it represents the moral decay in our society.

  8. But if you don't exist then how are you ...

  9. Does any abstract concept even exist per se?

  10. The liberals feel that we should give Obama time. I agree. 25 to life should be sufficient, don't you think?

    ZING!

  11. Was that... necessary, my good sir? Perhaps the Zing was a tad much, though I appreciate the reference. And for what noble cause are you campaigning, exactly?
    The GeoIP is an improvement, I guess, over the R2-D2 or Seismograph one, but it's not as funny or relevant as the Collatz one. Do you agree?
    Oh, and everything is an opinion, since you can't prove anything.

  12. "Everything is an opinion, since' you can't prove anything."

    That's some freshman psychology bullshit right there, friend.

  15. whats with that color survey on xkcd?

    anyone want to take bets its going to lead to one "hillarious" graph that then will sell as a poster?

    ReplyDelete
  16. I am already at maximum bad luck from all the multitudes of chain mail that I never passed along.

  17. In a similar vein as biblequizzingwebsite.com, are ya'll aware of another mirror site, cu.nniling.us ? Telling domain name...

    ReplyDelete

  20. oh god goatkcd #714 is going to be even better than 713...it's like Randall is trying to make the best goatkcds that he possibly can.

    ReplyDelete
  21. This seems like as good a time as any to link to The Bermuda Island II: The Mewtwo Boner Saga, my lemonfic-in-progress.

    ReplyDelete
  22. More seriously, I'm not sure how queasy I am that the sexually ultra-fucked-up Randall, who seems to be a member of the Joss Whedon School of Feminism, has taken it upon himself to write "this is what the female perspective is." Minority Warrior shit.

    ReplyDelete
  23. THIS IS A TOTALLY UNIQUE STATEMENT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS EVER.

    I WOULD SAY "JOKE" BUT HE ISN'T MAKING ONE.

    RANDALL IS A GOD.

    yes, all caps was necessary. That's how awesome this strip was.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I feel as though randall missed that Pornography for Women is a joke book, so he just sounds like an unaware white knight.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I... I liked today's xkcd. Does this make me a bad person?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Kirk: It's not just Randall. EVERY SINGLE PERSON on the xkcd forums seems to have missed the fact that Porn for Women is a joke book. They're all talking about how the book plays into culutural stereotypes and how women should be empowered too and blah blah blah it is infuriating.

    Not to mention that probably 90% of them are dudes saying they're totally into feminism because they think it will impress chicks.

    Oh yeah and

    "Ha ha! The alt text mentioned a TV show of which I am also particularly fond! Mentioning things I like is the pinnacle of humor!"

    ReplyDelete
  27. Argh some things are just fucking obvious, Randall.

    ReplyDelete
  28. If he was speaking about male sexuality, even if it wasn't from a position of any kind of authority, at least Randall would have SOME kind of relevant perspective. Why, then, does he instead feel his views on FEMALE sexuality are of any importance?

    From the forum:
    "Loves me some feminist xkcd. Course, I'm not quite sure what it means that a male author is speaking up on behalf of women here."
    Yea, pretty much.

  29. I don't read xkcdexplained because, like wikipedia, it's almost always inaccurate to the task of explanation. i.e. the source is usually wrong.

    The question is, why should anyone here read it?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Because it's entertaining? Who says we read it because it's informative? Xkcdexplained seems like a website similar to ours except that they don't rant (usually) about what makes the strip awful, they put a lot of effort in to trying to sound professional and explaining what the comic was about.

    Then, of course, you get into the snarky "man, Munroe's dicking around again, and here's what we have to say about his most recent shenanigans"
