Love the italic memes ;D

It is in italic 😀

I love this 😂😂

.busstop {
    font-style: italic;
}

#tower-of-pisa {
font-style: italic
}

Entire building falls down

Fuck, forgot a semicolon. I hate CSS.

When I said make that text italic, I didn’t mean to make it green, white, and red. That’s Italian.

Some dumb puns to cheer you up after reading/ranting about "part of your workflow you dislike"

#tower-of-pisa {
font-style: italic;
}

#titanic {
float: none;
}

.yomama {
width: 99999999px;
}

.ikea {
display: table;
}

#bigbang::before {
content: " "
}

.illuminati {
position: absolute;
visibility: hidden;
}

I'd rate these horrible puns a C++

italic in real world

Yeah it's italic

Be rant too!

Client: "Something is missing, like a type of BOOM or some fancy stuff, but I can't pinpoint what exactly. Do you know what I mean?"

Me: "Sure, give me one sec."
Changes font of a single word on a Web page to italic.

Client: "Perfect!"

My face: Priceless and trying not to laugh out loud.

TL;DR: stepmom, who is slightly nervous and impulsive at times, refuses to accept help after she asks for it, because she knows better.

The characters:
$sm = stepmom, who is currently finishing her second degree (don’t ask)
$f = father, a sysadmin
$me = yours truly

Enter stage, a living room, $me is eating lunch while $sm, a fairly tech-illiterate woman, is finishing up a PowerPoint presentation for a course of hers.

$sm: *slightly nervous tone, as always* “I’m collaborating with $friend and I need her to fix this! She is taking the file to Uni tomorrow and I can’t edit the file. What should I tell her to do?”
$me: “show me what you want to have fixed”
$sm: *points at monitor* “here, look, it’s inconsistent here! What do you call that?”
$me: “tell her to make the formatting consistent. It’s called formatting”
$sm: “No, I want her exactly to know what she has to do!”
$me: “but I’ve just told you. Look, the formatting is all over the place. Bold here, italic there, Times new Roman here, [some other font] there, font sizes are inconsistent. That’s a formatting problem.”
$sm: “No! I demand that you tell me how you call this for real! I don’t want her to get confused”
$me: “It says that right here, there’s a button called apply formatting, that’s what you call it.”
$sm: “I don’t understand! You’re telling me wrong things!”
$me: “aren’t you supposed to know our way around MS office? How do you write your papers and stuff?”
$sm: “you’re so incompetent! I will ask your father!”
*cue the same discussion with my father*
$sm: “I thought you were both good at this, I’m just gonna google it up! If we get a bad grade, it’s gonna be your fault!”

It seems like my bloodline is cursed and destined to be the family tech support, as I share this destiny with my father.

Edit: how did this end up with the “random” tag??

// Feature Request START
Is it possible we can have some kind of markdown on posts and comments? Maybe not bold or italic, but because of the target of the app, some kind of one-line and multi-line code blocks that highlight from other text (for example: having a gray background, using a consolas font, etc)
// Feature Request END

Found today in the code of a client's old site: <em style="font-style: italic;">

😫

When you apply HTML tags to the real world senario...

#tower-of-Pisa {
font-style: italic;
}

#tower-of-pisa {
font-style: italic;
}

Random thought, is Tower of Pisa the reason why the italic font style is slant?

.leaning-tower-of-pisa {
font-style: italic;
}

I really love Ubuntu Mono and similar fonts, because they're nice to look at while coding, so I tried to use it in Emacs.

Man, what it produced is just... disgusting! I couldn't see anything even in Ubuntu Mono "normal" version (not bold, not italic) with size 10 (my normal size).

In smaller size I almost couldn't recognize characters in code, in bigger it yelled at me I'm blind. Wtf emacs...

What's your favourite WYSIWYG editor?

I'm currently looking around internet for something simple and light weight.
Basically all I need are bold, italic, list, quote and image upload.

A prayer from a colleague:

Our silicone god which art in the SSD
Italic be thy name
Thy computing come
Thy bus be done
On the screen
As it is on the hdd
Give us this day our daily blue screen
And forgive us our keystrokes, as we
forgive our keyboards.
And lead us not into restarts, but
deliver us from memory leaks: For thine is the
memory, and the cpu, and the
bus, for ever. Amen

Beautiful is it not :)

when i die, my thumbstone will only have 'this' written.... small caps.... italic....fuck!
