What is the saddest thing you've ever witnessed? by RastaMomin AskReddit

[–]honestbleeps 1 point2 points ago

awww thanks!

What smartphone game have you always wanted, but never found? by Wizuhdin gamedev

[–]honestbleeps 0 points1 point ago

Draw Race 2 ported to Android. It's a simple concept, it's almost not even really a racing game, and it utilizes a touchscreen as an advantage, rather than trying to cram a "gamepad" onto a touchscreen which just never, ever works well in my eyes...

What's your silliest rookie sysadmin mistake? I made one tonight... by honestbleepsin sysadmin

[–]honestbleeps[S] 3 points4 points ago

Down vote for "know enough to be dangerous" Either you know something or you don't - either your a user or an admin! It just angers me to no end when someone says this.

Downvote for totally unnecessary pedantry combined with a failed grasp of the English language.

1) If it angers you to no end that I used a phrase that is very commonly meant to imply "I'm not a complete noob, but I'm no expert, either..." then you should probably take some sort of anger management course. You get the idea of what I meant. I run the server. I manage it. I am not a sysadmin by trade. It's a hobby.

2) If you're going to be a pedant and downvote a post, then jump in here degrading me for using an expression: understand the difference between "your" and "you're"

A pedant who can't even be bothered to use proper grammar just looks like an asshole, not even a pedant.

RES gives you the option to save comments, not images.. it's here even on this comment, with no image in it.. see?

Those are stored on a tab in your user profile.. click your username, then on that page, click "saved comments"

if you're seeing something only on comments with images, you must have some other addon running besides RES.

None of my settings are saving no matter what I do - it's driving me crazy! by clumsyturtlein Enhancement

[–]honestbleeps 0 points1 point ago

My guess is you're using chrome?

uninstall RES.

close all instances of chrome.

start chrome.

check chrome for updates (wrench icon -> about google chrome)

if there are updates -- update!

reinstall RES.

hopefully this fixes it.

If it doesn't - you've probably got a corrupted profile or something.

Street Fests starting. Can't wait to get bullied into giving a "donation" for walking down the street. by yourfavweapon11in chicago

[–]honestbleeps 0 points1 point ago

I've never once had a negative experience at any of the entrances... but then again, I usually donate.. because the festival costs money to put on...

I mean.. really.. if you hate being hassled that much and you don't think it's worth the whopping $5 to get in, why not just .. you know.. not go in the first place?

Is there an option to hide all stories submitted by a certain user? by GrainElevatorin Enhancement

[–]honestbleeps 0 points1 point ago

turn on the "hardIgnore" option. this is off by default otherwise I get people saying "how do I even know ignore is doing anything?" :-)

Is there a way to only allow self posts in certain subreddits? by misterqwertyin Enhancement

[–]honestbleeps 1 point2 points ago

ah.. no that's not possible.. seems like a rather specific sort of request.

Two questions. by OBEYtheskyin Enhancement

[–]honestbleeps 1 point2 points ago

How do I tag people? I have struggled with this for quite a while.

next to every username, there's a little tag icon. click it!

When I save a picture from a comment thread, (.gif .jpeg whatever) where does it go and how can I access it?

as in.. you're right clicking the picture and choosing save? it goes wherever your browser saves that stuff... that's not related to RES at all.

chances are it's in your "Downloads" folder... but where that is depends on your browser, your operating system, etc.

Is there a way to only allow self posts in certain subreddits? by misterqwertyin Enhancement

[–]honestbleeps 2 points3 points ago

this is controlled by the moderator(s) of the subreddit, and isn't related to RES.

Forget trolling. Tell me about a time that you went out of your way to make the world a BETTER place for someone. by suddenly_poniesin AskReddit

[–]honestbleeps 35 points36 points ago

Mine's probably not that big of a deal compared to some huge gesture that will inevitably get posted here (regardless of whether or not it's true), but here's a little example of the sort of thing I like to do:

I was buying a few things to take to my brother's place for a BBQ, and I found this totally delicious looking pie that I thought I'd bring for dessert.

Well, when the cashier was ringing me up, she saw the pie and was like "oh god that looks sooooo good", and then offhandedly remarked that she should probably get one... Then she scanned it and it came up at like $7 and I forget her exact words but basically the price made her realize she couldn't afford it...

Well, that broke my damn heart... so I got all my stuff bagged, got outside, and decided "screw this, she's getting a pie"... I went back in checked at customer service to make sure that employees had access to a fridge to put stuff... they did, so I bought another one.. from the same cashier... She was like "what are you taunting me now?" when she saw me getting another one.. and I was like "no. this is for you."

At what point are you in your life? Are you satisfied with it? by IScreamBooyahin AskReddit

[–]honestbleeps 6 points7 points ago

I'm 34. I'm losing my mind because I've been teetering on the edge of unemployment (due to the economy making things rough on the company I work for) for basically 2 years now and it is making me a wreck.

I have a grandiose idea for a business that's completely out of line with my expertise, but if the shit hits the fan where I work, I may just "reboot my life" and try this totally different thing.

I'm not satisfied, because I always imagined I'd have accomplished a crapton more at this age than I have... all I've got to show for my life is a browser plugin that helps people waste time here... and gives those people an excuse to send me hate mail and angry complaints...

Despite not being satisfied, I'm not about to pack it all in and call my life a failure. Hopefully I'll do something awesome someday.

[–]honestbleeps 229 points230 points ago

My parents moved away while I was in college - far enough that seeing them often wasn't very practical... That also meant no longer seeing my best friend - my dog Wicket - with any regularity... She was the sweetest most derpy but loving dog...

A few years ago, my grandfather passed away, so I flew out for his funeral...

Coincidentally, Wicket had grown rather ill... I hadn't seen her in years and she'd grown sick very quickly... 2 weeks prior she'd just seemed under the weather and the vet said she'd probably be fine... but a couple of days before I arrived, the vet said she had kidney issues and problems breathing and that she may not have that long...

I arrived in the late evening for my grandpa's funeral, and Wicket - even sick as hell and struggling to move - totally remembered me even though I hadn't seen her in a couple of years... My parents said that my arrival was the first time she'd wagged her tail in a couple of weeks...

I was only there a couple of hours before going to bed because it was already pretty late... Wicket came into the guest room where I was sleeping, curled up in her bed, and I listened to her struggle to breathe for at least an hour and a half before I could finally fall asleep. It was heartbreaking...

By the time I woke up, Wicket had passed away.

I know it's just coincidence and I generally don't try to ascribe "meaning" to coincidences... but there's this tiny part of me that appreciates that she hung around just long enough for me to see her one last time...

shit I miss my friend.

What is the saddest episode of a comedy sitcom that you have ever seen? by napes22in AskReddit

[–]honestbleeps 12 points13 points ago

I'm not sure about "sad" since I never grew attached to the character, but the series finale of ALF ... yes... freaking ALF... was totally dark and messed up.

SPOILER: basically, the government gets ALF, and it is left to the viewer to imagine what happens, but basically you figure they take him away and run tests on him and dissect him or whatever the hell you'd imagine they'd do if they got hold of an alien

EDIT: added short video of ending (obviously this would also be a spoiler)

[feature request] Autoignore people with less than -500 karma by Bulwersatorin Enhancement

[–]honestbleeps 4 points5 points ago

this is not technically feasible, as RES would have to make an API call for each and every username it sees on a page and check its karma...

API calls are limited to one every 2-3 seconds, meaning a process like this would be frowned upon by the reddit admins, and would be crazy slow to finish anyway.

Photography place in my neighborhood just killing it with the window display by sweet_stars_abovein chicago

[–]honestbleeps 1 point2 points ago

Last time I walked by this I said I'd take a picture of it and post it to reddit. This was like a week ago. I didn't, but I knew for SURE if i didn't, someone else would... this place is hilarious.

[bug] Images disappear when i right click on them. by badillinin RESissues

[–]honestbleeps 1 point2 points ago

Um, what? Did you reply to the wrong comment or something?

How do I delete one of these? (image in text) by NewDirtyBastardin Enhancement

[–]honestbleeps 1 point2 points ago

double click it and clear out the fields...

or drag it to the + sign (which becomes an "X" for delete when you start dragging)

I recently updated RES from the old Greasemonkey version (in FF) and it didn't import my settings. What can I do? by Kattzalosin Enhancement

I dont' see why it shouldn't, but to be honest I haven't tested it.

How can I subscribe to HBO without a tv? by lofi76in entertainment

[–]honestbleeps 34 points35 points ago

You can't. You must have a TV subscription to get HBO. There is no way to directly just subscribe to HBO.
