Great cracked article: http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-ways-youre-accidentally-making-everyone-hate-you/

Nothing funny about it, but it's an easy read since it's Cracked.

It's all about the stuff that goes on in people's heads that makes them upset and why people wind up in conflicts unwittingly.

It's very interesting. On pretty much every topic you can see yourself on both sides of the problem, and how each side of the problem feels like a very different issue rather than just the flipside.

Some topics covered:
- Why religious people are surprised by atheist ideas
- How people perceive unwanted attention
- How people feel they are owed something by another person
- How some people really don't like being ignored
- Misinterpreting stuff as a power play

Next time I get in the shit with someone I'd like to revisit this and see if I can apply any of the ideas in the article to explain the predicament. I am very bad at dealing with people, I know that, but I usually chalk it down to stuff like "oh my brother is just always offended", which he is - but maybe there is something more to it. Not that I think I can change my personality to make other people feel good about themselves, I dunno... And could he ever really understand my POV?

#1 - Posting links to fucking Cracked.com

also the funny irony that you can't possibly individually share this article without causing offence.

I'm definitely guilty of having dodged people irl because I couldn't be fucked having a meaningless conversation.

I also recommend Scientology.

As somebody both broke and not sexed up, I'd just like to state that it's never crossed my mind to hate somebody for being the opposite. If they mock after having had it easy, then yes, but never for the reasons described.

I've noticed Deeper shows up with a lot of peculiar advice

I hate Cracked, it's just a bunch of opinions presented as fact in irresistible list format.

Also interesting to note #1 and #5 are the same from different perspectives.

I love how he (or she?) goes on about people being unable to see stuff from others' points of view and uses the toilet seat thing as an example. Worst. Example. Ever.

If she bitches at me to put it down when I'm done, she can fucking well put it up when she's finished. It's a two way street baby.

I see it from her point of view, comes in in the dark and sits down on the cold bowl and nearly falls in, but will she see it from my point of view? Come in in the dark & piss all over the seat because it's not where I left it? No, she definitely won't. Solution? Just install two toilets.

I do that! I take ages to get to the point. Half way through telling the story my mind goes "hurry up fucken, even i'm getting bored"

Yours. You deleted it assuming because it had no link to any other data that it shouldn't also delete the other data.

Just restore from the backup you made before you went deleting things, the backup you made just in case the data wasn't useless after all. Yeah, that backup.

Their comedy articles/lists are pretty good sometimes.

perhaps even tell you how to turn on the computer in the first place?

Nah i know how to do that now. That's why I keep a hammer in my desk draw.

mad > cracked

Deleted useless data in our CRM which was duplicated. Logically thinking, it had absolutely no link to another batch of data that was way more important. In the end both batches of data were deleted.
My fault or hers?

You're the sys guy ... right?

As a sys admin guy, batch deleting weird duplicate data in any system that contains important data should always freak you the fuck out. From the sound of it the update should have been done as a controlled, planned change management task where a system health check and rollback was available after ... I hate to say it, because 9/10 its annoying as shit, but ITIL.

Its not your fault, but you're responsible.

If you can't draw a crowd draw dicks on a wall?

My fault or hers?

She screwed up, you made it worse.
When spelunking in production data I can't count the number of times the Plan B and occasionally the Plan C saved my bacon.

i was going to let my post get nuked and then write a sentence calling the admin a big gay baby etc. linking every word to a different seanbaby article and watch a collection of the funniest things to ever be posted on these forums nuked by an internet forums moderator guy with his feelings hurt. it would have worked on a lot of levels.

but fuck that you should seriously read some god damn seanbaby.
