It's always fucking file encodings breaking these stupid fucking legacy projects. FUCK

Fuck this I'm going to bed. I'll fix it in the morning it's a little past midnight

You know I rarely encounter other than utf 8

@AvatarOfKaine same until I started this job last year, now I've encountered ANSI, utf8, utf8-bom, utf16, utf16-bom, I'm waiting to see utf32 lol

Last week I had an issue where a c# program preserved non-latin characters on windows 10 but not on the main processing server.

The issue had to do with 'endianness' a new term I still don't fully understand but the solution was to make the C# code read the input file using 'BigEndianUnicode' to preserve the special characters.

@jester5537 Pittsburgh eh ?

@AvatarOfKaine I don't know what you mean with that lol. I'm in Pittsburgh yes

@jester5537 lived a few summers in Strabane near the race track years ago

@jester5537 hard town to get situated in

@jester5537 from there originally?

@AvatarOfKaine cool I think I know where Strabane is

I've been in Pittsburgh all my life lol, so I don't know any different. Never needed to get situated anywhere else yet

Where you at currently? You like it there better?

@jester5537 grew up in center state
No I don't like pa anymore it's full of liars and bastards

@jester5537 is this Zimmerman's retroactive explanation for Michael ? Must have been some stupid system quirk of their imaginary bs ?

@AvatarOfKaine lol fair enough

I don't know what you mean with that Zimmerman thing?

@jester5537 so I'm sitting there at one point
Minding my own business
None of this fucked up shit bothering me
Remembering some earlier time period suddenly feeling good
During one of the repeats of this they add some deformed kid being sold by their parent on a few seperate repeats to upset me
Different kid
Same deformity
And I think
Can there be a moment I don't want to eviscerate these people ?
Is there a moment of happiness they can't help but ruin ?
And the actions afterwards are going to cause someone to fall down the stairs and break their legs by accident I have feeling

It's the attempts to poison everything in their image
Make everything shit
Everything a lie
And then act like they're owed this ?

A guy who worked his way out of this situation previously only presently having problems because of years of tinkering with his emotions and mind while espousing and glorifying some system that devours them too wtf?
