Formatting in Word is so easy.

If this issue from 1997 is still affecting you, you probably still use Internet Explorer.

Skill issue.

thechadwick,

Yeah? Well that’s just like, your opinion, man…

For real though, formatting in word is a nightmare of ribbon-esque proportions.

It’s not just him. I format documents using Word pretty fine too. I use styles, headers, auto table of content, page breakers, all that stuff.

At the end of the day, Word is just an instrument. And pretty powerful, I must say. It also has learning curve not so steep as LaTeX.

I know it is a shitpost, but man.

Changing the picture’s text wrapping is just 3 clicks away.

Word formatting really isn’t that difficult.

It’s a mystery.

make it not form the text around it, then you can drag it wherever the hell you want.

bus_factor,

Eh, depends. I once had a document with lots of tables. I pasted another table into this document. Suddenly all regular text became bold and vice versa. If I made anything bold or non-bold after this, all the tables moved to the top left corner of the first page, on top of each other. Word did some weird stuff sometimes. We eventually threw in the towel and used LaTeX.

Siegfried,

Latex is the way to go for long documents populated with tables and images

bus_factor,

I already knew that, but some of my teammates were a little scared of it and had to learn the hard way.

Kusimulkku,

Still sometimes manages to break paging and elements are bumped up or down without any rhyme or reason. It’s hell.

Dalvoron,

IMO the default should be one of the text wrapping options.

Nobody ever asks how Mr Beast will be doing for his next video.

Back in the old days in high school, we did this experiment in biology lab. A cigarette smoke was passed through a bottle with a live goldfish and then we could see how its gills turn black. It was supposed to show us that smoking is bad, it had no effect on students decisions of course. I don’t think they are allowed to do such experiments these days.

oh my god, too real 😂 except I was there, my scar is more brutal and I’m all the more stupid for letting it happen. I’ll explain, and I’m going to do so in more detail than I ever have before.

I was living in China in 2017 and I got an infection on my guy. In hindsight because I had a new girlfriend, was having a lot of sex, and wasn’t cleaning very much. My girlfriend takes me to the local hospital in this “small town” (different meaning in China), and I sit down in front of this miserable looking bloke with a fat, fancy golden wristwatch who says: “你有两个选择 。。。either take this medication and the infection will probably return, or ‘peel skin’ and be free of it forever.”

I looked at my girlfriend with a grin and asked what she thought would be best. How bad could it be anyway if they do it to babies. Probably like getting your ears pierced.

She drags her thumb across her throat and screams “off with his head!” or more likely she calmly says “peel skin.” All I remember is that she said it without hesitation. The slimy looking doctor slithers upstairs to the operating room and I get on the table where there’s a large light above my head which, turned off, is acting as a mirror. I can see everything as his assistant passes him the syringe to knock out my guy and then the scalpel to begin the scalping. All I could see was a bloody mess when his phone rang in his pocket. I could smell the blood as his assistant removed the phone from his pocket and answered the call. “They want to speak to you” she said. So the doctor puts the phone between his ear and his shoulder and continues cutting and chatting away. “That’s my dick you prick!”

The next day my guy is bandaged from head to toe. I tell my girlfriend to stop visiting because every time I get an erection I drop to the floor in writhing pain. Limping along the pavement a group of 80-somethings breeze past me. The pedestrian light goes green and I barely make it to the island in the middle of the road before it goes red again. I lie awake every night, plagued by spontaneous erections and excruciating pain. As the wound healed a grotesque scar formed as a reminder that the body is sacred.

duffman,

Appreciate your story. Sorry for the pain.

erasebegin,

The worst experiences I’ve had in my life always make the best stories 😄

Where’s my man Boxxo?

rwhitisissle,

“Boxxo, would you like it if I stuck my dick in your coin slot?”

“Too bad.”

“That sounds like a ‘Yes’ to me.”

macbayne82,

“Too bad.”
