    Because a guy posted it on facebook and I said it was a shitty thing to do and this is apparently a case of white knighting.

    Of course it's bad. It's a bait and switch where the ladies are expecting a token from an internet admirer but instead get a cross-eyed MS Paint caricature. I don't know about it being horrifically shitty. 'Horrifically shitty' is reserved for shattering a person's confidence beyond repair like constant bullying or photoshopping a person's head on top of a porn star's naked body and spreading it around.

    i hope ms releases a service pack for win8 that lets you basically just use it like windows 7 but with the good stuff from windows 8

    because most of the new pcs here in the uk are being shipped with win7 over win8 due to customer demand

    Well if a program has admin permissions (so not something you could distribute via the store) then you can pretty much reskin win8

    I'd be suprised if that hasn't been done already.

    Though I will say that you get used to the new UI. After about a week of using it on my work machine (so many hours each day) I was acclimated. Maybe a bit longer for a game machine.

    And of course if someone makes up their mind in the first 5 minutes that they will hates it forever and so doesn't make any effort to actually learn how to do stuff in the new UI then they'll of course never get used to it.

    doesnt really matter

    they just need to make it the same user experience by default so that people switch

    90% of consumers are the essence of "they changed it now it sucks"

    My only complaint about going with Leigh is that 100% of the popcorn will go into her mouth unless I get two tubs. At which point 75% of the total popcorn will go into her mouth.

    My girlfriend tends to fall asleep during movies.

    So she's also somebody who doesn't talk, unwrap sweets, or snack noisily, but that's because she's probably dozed off.

    it's funny because she loves going to movies and will happily pay the $21 or whatever for the experience even if she knows she's going to sleep through half of it

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    There's a PA comic about doing this, right?

    No, the PA comic (and accompanying PATV episode) were markedly less cruel in a number of ways. Firstly because the "victim" was asked first if they wanted a drawing. Secondly because Mike then drew a nice picture of them. The "twist" was that he then drew dicks all over it. It didn't seem like the kind of thing that was likely to hurt a lot of feelings.

    "they changed it now it sucks" is a viable argument in a lot of cases when it comes to software

    because the benefits of the change almost never ever weigh up for the inconvenience of the change.

    Which is pretty shitty.

    Yeah that's a big thing. It deliberately chose something that people associate with their self-worth because society is shitty and tears them down with it.

    also: in a context where that person might be feeling particularly nervous about their appearance (an online dating site)

    yeah

    it's a cheap shot in the most vulnerable context you could find online

    I understand that various types of humor that I enjoy also cause people anguish. That's part of the price of comedy, there's always a victim. I just think the cruelty to humour ratio is out of whack on this one. Can you imagine how shitty you would feel if someone did that to you? Especially that black girl. Jesus...

    no, you're right

    I enjoy cruelty. I feel that it is a lost art. That said, this is pointless and dumb and needlessly cruel. Cruelty is best served to those that deserve it. Not people looking for love on a dating website. What they are doing is positive. It could even be argued that they are participating in a human imperative.

    White Knighting is when you defend a girl who is perfectly capable of defending herself. Posting a shitty cruel joke on facebook and being called out for it is not being White Knighted, it's called being your just desserts.

    It's actually a pretty shitty tablet OS too, you have to memorize how to do everything because the entire UI is invisible

    You know because visible buttons for functions were a terrible idea, everyone should have to memorize combos like its street fighter. Honestly for me that's fine, but when you're first using the thing its an exercise in frustration. Nothing about the UI is intuitive in the slightest.

    To close an app, for example, you have to drag from the top right of the screen down towards the middle and hold until the app becomes small and then drag it to the bottom edge and release

    You know because the "X" was too fucking inelegant and cumbersome
