I shall not be engaging in quantum dickery.

Iron Man was first tho, and the first with a post credits teaser for the Cap movie, which makes it the first in the MCU.

Because you should use chrome.

I've been a Firefox loyalist since it had number 2 next to it, and I won't change

EDIT: I managed to fix most of thingies back to as they should be, tabs remain on top but I will deal with this heresy tomorrow.

but Haspen, everything is chrome in the future

Work with hard regulations. Can't really broadcast my job, because a.) C suite supervisor says, b.) confidential, c.) legal reasons, and d.) complicated subject matter. Situation actually kinda sucks. I'm actually trying to help out the organization.... I've been called "a spy," and "here to fire everyone," but that couldn't be further from the truth. Expressly, said I didn't care about blame, just fixing it. Received bad responses.... They know or should know what confidential means. "Attorney," they realize legal junk is difficult.... Further, they don't ask the other lawyer this crap.

Today, I was approached by a man who asked, "Hey, what do you do here?"

Still limping from injuries but not complaining, we all wear a name and position badge; I respond with this information.

He continues, "Yeah I see you around, and I just thought I'd ask you what the hell you do here."

I clarify some broad strokes of the regulatory areas I deal with.  He states he's from a related but different organization. I reply, "Good to have you here." 


Tactical sense and planning took over and fell back to overly professional, politeness but still ... a part of me couldn't believe it. What the...? Who cares what somebody else's job is. It's not hurting anyone. That's really the point. I haven't hurt anyone. For being so "terrible," I haven't done anything terrible, to anyone. I moved next door to the place (not something destroyers do), work extra crazy unpaid hours, and do all I can. The people at the top of the organization, know what I do, because I report to them. They're scared to death what happens if I fail, but I'm resisted. They think I'm doing great. The people on the ground, however, are convinced I'm going to screw them all over for some strange reason. All the same, still temporarily injured; battling broken. Embrace the suck.... Several opportunities for difficulty....

I'm often quiet. I talk fast, say much in no time, and slow myself for others.

It's not that I don't get it, or don't listen. I hear, comprehend, analyze, and formulate, rapidly. Cut my teeth in Hell with judges and/or morons wanting answers yesterday; unaccustomed to slower pace.

You can always ask for a name change (unless you can just change it in account settings, not sure here) and Toady One would probably prefer it to making a second account

[Sirus]

Quite a few people here have had their names changed. Might as well ask Toady if that's something you want to consider.

I messed up my capitalization way back when and he fixed it. Because he is kind.

I just got a guest pass for Counter-Strike: Source, that "allows access to the full version for a limited time"(I already own CS:S), and it mentions the game was just updated to include player stats, achievements, and more(last update to CS:S was in June, already had achievements).


...Is Valve trolling me?

Firefox Quantum just released and it even broke Classic Theme Restorer. It broke ton of add-ons I used. Nobody is like I had it set.

I can't even change tabs to not-on-top anymore.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy

Because you should use chrome.

If everyone uses the same thing then the market completely implodes and now you have a monopoly. People should look around and use not-Chrome. If everyone uses Chrome then nobody has any revenue to actually develop competitors, and Chrome has less reasons to make theirs better or to not fill it full of adware.

Who actually wants Google controlling your entire online experience from browser to search to advertising all rolled into one? it sounds like a fucking nightmare. I opt out, so i use Firefox to help grow the next biggest competitor. The plug-ins that don't work are mostly ones that Chrome doesn't have anyway - that was the point. Firefox also has the webextensions system used by Chrome.

So because Firefox broke some old extensions I use, I'm going to switch to another platform owned by the mega-data-spying Google, that also doesn't have those extensions? Why?

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy

Because it's a complete rewrite of the entire browser. Enough said. There's no "firefox classic theme" hidden away in the new browser to be easily restored, no more than Opera or Chrome have Firefox's classic theme hidden in them.

But Firefox 57 is twice as fast as old Firefox was a few version numbers ago, and it uses 30% less memory than Chrome. That's why they decided that taking the plunge and replacing the guts of the browser was worth it. In the long run, it will be easier and cheaper to improve the new Firefox than the old one, because there's no old junk floating around in there to have to constantly deal with.

Sure, they could have left your "not on top" tabs in, and had a hidden mode for the "classic theme" added. But where would you stop? Those are things just you wanted to keep. They'd have to keep things anyone wanted to keep, and it would be a never-ending list of nearly-useless-to-most-people options and caveats. If they did that, making the new browser would have been impossible. it's better that they make a clean, minimal browser, then they see what they can in fact add back in bit by bit, without sacrificing performance.

I mean, it's not like Iron Man came out before Hulk, not like Iron Man had a post credits scene too, not like it didn't namedrop the goddamn Avengers with it. And this can all be found out with 15 seconds of googling. Seriously, try checking your facts before making statements that rely on said facts.

It gives me conniptions

In our timeline... yes you are aggressively correct ma sur.
But in the mcu timeline... it is not.
I could even debate that the 2003 hulk movie counts but I'm a shitposter not someone who cares to debate strangers.
But now... I'm attracted to you 
Wanna get some slice and watch some antman?

[ChairmanPoo]

Wikipedia has been hacked?

[Reelya]

Wow I just tried the new Firefox 57, and opened up ~48 tabs to see memory use. Basically it never went over 300MB. That's down from 1-2 GBs of RAM the previous version Firefox 56 to open 40 tabs at once. They're not kidding when they say they totally rewrote the thing. On load, it's using ~150MB.

[Arx]

Oh my, I may need to prioritise updating. The memory usage has been getting worse and worse, and it's been bothering me of late.

So if the Hulk is set before Iron Man in the MCU, how does Stark know about the Avengers before Fury tells him about it at the end of the first Iron Man?
