You could say nothing is true and everything is possible but that would be an argument from ignorance and also a Russian propaganda technique.

I hadn’t really noticed this, perhaps in hindsight you’re correct. Can you be more specific?

Gareth in The Office was pervy/racist who pretty much needed the abuse to prevent him making other’s lives hell.

With Maggie in Extras I saw it as a best friend banter type thing. The piss taking was done in private and came across in jest.

If you’re referring to Karl Pilkington, I think he new what he signed up for, was playing an exaggerated version of himself for comedic effect and made a lot of money in doing so.

When Derek came out I couldn’t get past the obvious, pretty much where I stopped following his material.

Pets are usually provided with everything they ever need by their owners so they have little reason to show their brutal side.

Still a strange take IMO.

Bad individual human behaviour often pales into insignificance when contrasted with wild animal behaviour.

Unless you count the ongoing ecocide we as a collective are in the midst of enacting…

As a massive fan of his older work, I was disappointed to see he has since turned his hand to creating transphobic jokes in his more recent material.

Also find it a bit weird how he consistently proclaims how much he loves animals more than most humans.

Chuck some cheese sauce on that cauliflower, add some stuffing and we’re getting there…

Suddenly this hummus I’m eating for lunch doesn’t quite cut the mustard. Actually on that note, include some mustard in the cauliflower cheese pls.

Oblivious fact: Me

Fun fact: Roasting meat alone does not a Sunday roast make.

Stops carving the Sunday roast and holds off putting the apple crumble in the oven…

But we are one of the most multicultural societies in the world and have long since adopted everyone else’s cuisines.

By this logic the Japanese don’t have curries and the Americans don’t have pizza, or any other food for that matter.

Yeah never got this. The nation’s favourite dish is curry. My favourite dish is curry. Isn’t it a running joke amongst Indians how much the Brits love curry?

Things like beans on toast and fish finger sandwiches are cheap and easy lunch snacks for students but not our actual diet.

Completely agree, requirements are key and often badly defined due to the customers’ lack of knowledge of the intricacies of the system. You are correct to ask for clarity or it could come back to bite you later on.

I’ve just had a spec through from a BA which consists entirely of screenshots of an existing system with no technical definitition of any of the requested fields so relate to this right now.

Not substantially, it had a different title and was toned down.

I withdraw the word essay and apologise for any rudeness.

Have a good one.

My original message was “Wow ok chill.” then elaborated to clarify.

Where I’m from people are way ruder than anything I said here so perhaps I misjudged the room. However, calling it out seems to have had the desired response as since posting OP went and apologised for his anger.

I in turn apologise for my rudeness to them.

Cavity protection ain’t gonna cut it where they’re going.

Did you read it before the edits? If it’s written like that I think I’m entitled to exaggerate back slightly to make a point by calling it a rage essay.

Anywho I wouldn’t choose to rant like this to my coworkers or online. A quick 🤦 in chat usually does the trick.

Completely put to task, yep really got me there. I will never see the world in the same way again.

Also, I don’t think you understand what irony means.

You too.

Wow ok chill.

The title of this post was “I hate programming, why did I choose this field”.

I responded suggesting maybe OP isn’t suited to SQL in particular. There are plenty of other languages to learn that they might pick up quicker if they are struggling with SELECTs.

It’s partially right but led OP down the wrong lines of thinking because it interpreted the prompt as a date field being missing rather than the field named date being missing.

Tbh I don’t blame it too much here as there is kind of a base level of understanding requred to use it successfully.

Ah yes here you are successfully ignoring it.

Might not be encouraging it but you seem to be defending it.
