Microsoft fired its entire QA team 10 years ago, and shifted the responsibility for testing onto developers. They also got rid of their dedicated hardware lab where software would be tested on many different hardware combinations.

That…makes SO much sense and explains a lot! Thanks for mentioning it.

As the WOATest WOAT, I’ve got the other end on lock! We’re killing it, buddy!

I’m not who you were talking to, but thank you for this comment. You’re so very kind and it’s beautiful. You’ve helped me and I appreciate you so much. You totally rock! 💖

I prefer to do it up through my nose, though… it looks waay cooler

Lol! That reminds me of how (when AOL was thing and I was probably way too young to be on it but would use it to talk to family) my mom had me type out and send “I bought a bunch of cars and RECTUM!” via email or AIM out of nowhere to random family members with no context, even though I had no idea why that was funny, but she thought it was hilarious. Which is pretty damn funny looking back!

I love this type of thing! There’s also:

“Guess why?”/“Chicken thigh!”

“Guess who?”/“Chicken poo!”

As a kid I also came up with “Guess when?”/“Chicken shin!” “Guess where?”/“Chicken hair!” and “Guess how?”/“Chicken COW!!” but those may not be quite as good, hahaha.

I hope they reply (and that I remember to come back and check again so I can see it,) I’m very interested, too!

Ooh, I looked it up and it sounds interesting. I look forward to figuring it out and experiencing it for myself, thanks! :)

Mine, too!

Ooh, neat! I didn’t know there was a fediverse version of Tumblr. Thanks for sharing!!

Holy cow, that’s neat as hell! Thanks for sharing!

Oooh, interesting! I bet that’s yummy!

Poor guy. My heart breaks for him. I hope people are understanding, compassionate, empathetic, and aren’t hateful and harrassing towards him about it, but, realistically… they likely will be hateful and harrass the poor dude, because some people are just sucky, entitled, and rude little jackasses (and I hate it so much and I don’t understand why people behave this way!) I hope he can find a way to handle it all okay. :(

Sounds like !chat@beehaw.org (hopefully I wrote that tag correctly!) would be a good fit. I hope to read about your experience there! :) It’s not a fun feeling, having something happen and wanting to tell people about it but not really having a good person/people to tell.

Chicken Parmesan for sure. or a chicken sandwich with cheese on it. BLECH!

How cute and fun! I love it. Thank you for the screenshot and explanation!

I’m in the kitchen.
Yams everywhere.
(YAMS!)

Another favorite of mine from him is:

I’m dangerous, like a fire in a nursing home

I’m the Wayne Gretzky of sexual stuff.
I’m the Hulk Hogan of slamming muff.
I’m the Indiana Jones of exploring crotch.
I’m the Shakespeare of enormous cock.
I’m the Helen Keller of having sex.
No, wait … that’s a bad example.

Why did my penis cross the road?
To get to the other ….
Vagina (what) … vagina (what) …
I want to have sex with your vagina (uhh)
Vagina (what) … vagina (what) …
E=MC Vagina

I’ve got a present for you right here.
Actually, it’s not a present …
It’s my penis and I like to call it The Spear
Cause spears are long and hard, just like my penis!

Hey now. There’s no need to be a shitty, ableist asshole.
