@intoleRANT I mean ya, but not from people like you. There were a few helpful commenters who commented helpful shit - but not you though XD

@intoleRANT I am not here to yell at the people yelling into the void. I'm not.

@Pogromist But I get what you're saying. There's both mature and immature people here - and I could've just ignored them too. You're right.

@Pogromist I don't care if people agree or not. But why comment if you disagree - isn't that just antagonizing someone? I suppose I could just ignore them too, but I was already fired up today - maybe they were too.

I get pissed when people comment shit like this:

"Idk, being wrong isn't a rant." Being wrong, really? Opinions can be wrong? How full of yourself are you?

Or this example of an "objective" post:
"What works is rants that are objective rants like 'we have 3 daily stand-ups a day, our PM is an idiot.'"
- first of all, you're being an asshole, second it's NOT objective. Jesus.

Or basically saying it's a good rant IF we all agree it is, like this:
"that's something to rant about because most or us know those problems and agree they are indeed annoying"

Or the high-and-mighty troll guy just now that called me out for a spelling mistake.

And everyone who thinks it's okay to call people stupid for struggling with "basic" knowledge. Seriously you can smell the privilege.

@intoleRANT Okay, your just a know-it-all troll. I'm done with you. You want to fight.

@intoleRANT I post here so I don't yell at work. Not yell at people, just not yell in general. I have anger-management issues because I'm bordeline, so I come here to scream into the void when I need to.

I have another site for this as well but it's even more toxic than this one and not dev focused.

And sometimes well-meaning viewers comment some helpful tools that they think may help even if they dunno what's going on - or they just say encouraging words. They don't need to, I'm just looking to yell - but it is nice when they do.

@iiii See that's ignorant. Where am I supposed to get this "basic stuff" other than through schooling or my own experiences? What if I haven't encountered this one specific "basic" thing yet? Then I'm "not very smart" for not encountering it before? So you're not very smart for all the things in life you haven't encountered yet?

@intoleRANT I'm still complaining because I don't think you see the problem here. You're defending that people on a venting site should be grief-ed for venting, if they lack some FuNdAMenTaL knowledge. Which is nonsense.

@intoleRANT Bullshit. Read the comments.

"If you come into an issue you're facing with a hostile attitude about how terrible a tool is, don't be surprised when that hostility is returned to you when people defend the tool and telling you that you lack fundamental knowledge of that tool."

I can't believe I have to say this again: This is a VENTING forum. THIS-IS-A-VENTING-FORUM.
People literally come here after having bad days, to vent.
You don't have to take what they say personally - you chose to.
You don't know me at all, why is my ranting about this tool making you defensive? Why not just ignore it?
Also, I wasn't asking for help - I was venting.

As for "fundamental knowledge" that's literally bias ignorance on your part, not mine - nothing in this world is fundamental knowledge. Again, nobody pops out of mom knowing everything.

The point is that you shouldn't call anyone stupid, for anything. No matter how easy it is for you.

@Pogromist Okay, see, now I get you. Now it's cool. We can be friends even if we disagree.

@intoleRANT Like you talk about sides in your comment. There shouldn't be fucking sides. Why are there sides?!

@TheJuice Thanks man, I'll take a look at it.

@intoleRANT I only replied the legacy stuff today, haven't been on here in a while. The attitude was - "If you're struggling you must be stupid."

The attitude to this one is "We don't agree with what you're saying so we're gonna whine to you about it."

And then I whine back and the cycle continues.

Like, if you don't like what I'm venting about, NOTHING stops you from just scrolling on. You don't have to comment some self-important tit-bit. I signed up here because I thought I could vent my frustration in peace. And against my better judgement I used it a second time because today sucked and I needed to just talk to someone about it.

Yes, I was defensive writing this post because I knew I was gonna get called stupid by highly intelligent toddlers again.

@Pogromist Well ya honestly, I was struggling and needed a place to yell that wouldn't get me fired. I Googled ranting sites and this came up.

I ranted and got royally shat on by what I can only imagine is a very tech-savy community of man-babies with superiority complexes, because I'm StuPid for not understanding and DoiNg iT WrONg.

it is literally happening on this post as well - the fact that you can't see it or just ignore it is alarming.

Just read through the comments, if you can't see it, I really can't help you.

@petergriffin Again, you guys take this shit too personally, I wasn't aiming the gate-keeping thing at you. I don't know you.

Of everyone here - you're the first one to reply with a genuine discussion. The gate-keeping thing was about people dumping on and grieving me when I use this devRANT (RANT) [RaNt] forum to, you guessed it, rant.

@intoleRANT I stand by that others shouldn't criticize on a VENTING forum. It's illogical.

I said this above:
This is a ranting site, there shouldn't be any criticism on rants - it's a space to vent about dev stuff. It's not like I'm asking for help - I'm blowing off steam and I don't do it often, this is only my second post.

Otherwise you're telling me they literally just made a forum to lord their egotistical superiority over others. Like legit sitting there waiting for a rant so they can dump on the person who made it, to make themselves feel big.

@iiii See, that's ignorant though.

You shouldn't call someone stupid for not knowing how stuff works. Nobody pops out of mom just knowing how everything works.

Everything you know, you either learnt through experience or through someone teaching you. Someone can be in the exact same school, course, house, community - whatever - as you are and not have the same experiences or learn the same things.

They are ignorant about this tool sure, but you're ignorant about interaction and how knowledge is gained. Get it?

@petergriffin Do you have any resources you can suggest? Or is it like reading through everything and saving the important stuff you find over years of digging?

@Hazarth :/ Ya, okay maybe we got off on the wrong foot, I dunno. I'm sorry. But I'm sure you can see what I'm saying: Calling someone an idiot is not objective and just because it's a rant about a tool rather than social issues doesn't mean it's wrong. You literally used the word wrong. But okay, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

@Hazarth You should actually read through what you comment. I literally commented your own words back to you and you still can't see it.

@Hazarth As for not knowing the tool - I am trying. I'd love to go to some amazing school that teaches me everything I need to know but that costs money that I am literally trying to make. I am using resources online, figuring it out as I go and doing my best.

Sure maybe you're doing the same and I'm not as smart as you, but at least I don't go around mocking people for not being more like me.

@Hazarth You like CSS, I don't. That makes me wrong?
So if you like apples and everyone else doesn't their wrong.

Objective rant example: Literally criticises another human being personally (calls them an idiot) for doing their job. Yes, you are an objectively critical person. XD

"Most of us know those problems." Those aren't problems with the world, it's a lack of social and emotional intelligence in you. It's your problem with people.

"It's gonna get flak from people that disagree" - Your logic is "If YoUr ProBlEMs Don'T MaTCh MinE ThEy Can't Be PrOBlems"
Seriously? Grow up dude.

Yes, my rant is subjective - I don't like CSS. I know some people do. I'm not attacking them for it.

I did tell a story, it was about black magic, and I rather liked it.

Fair enough though - I will leave "It's my opinion!" at the end of every rant.

@iiii This is a ranting site, there shouldn't be any criticism on rants - it's a space to vent about dev stuff. It's not like I'm asking for help - I'm blowing off steam and I don't do it often, this is only my second post.

Otherwise you're telling me they literally just made a forum to lord their egotistical superiority over others. Like legit sitting there waiting for a rant so they can dump on the person who made it, to make themselves feel big.

@Eklavya
Indeed, an eye for an eye - has worked out so well for global culture.

And, I mean, I did take YOUR eye, didn't I.

Insulted you and your family personally. Guess you identify as a preppy, ya?

@iiii Part 2:
My senior came to look and we agreed it must be a Chrome thing. So we removed the media queries all together and started over, because I had been adjusting the queries based on that odd behavior in browser and they had gotten messy.

Today the columns aren't column-ing anymore, it's just one long block of child elements. I've been going through the html and css with a fine-tooth comb to find what caused the change - I can't find anything.

I found an article that says for columns to work there has to be a fixed height - but it was literally working without it yesterday.

If I can't find the problem I'm going to have to start over. I'm just really frustrated with it.

@iiii Part 1:

Yesterday I had a parent div set to divide its children into columns of width 320px; it has a height of 100% because it inherits the actual height from its parent.

Yesterday THAT WORKED and it divided the child elements into about 4 columns.

Then I started setting up the media queries, and got some strange behavior with the scale of the website. I could change nothing, reload the site and the scale would be different than before - then reload it again (nothing changed) and the scale would be something new. (I am testing in Chrome)

@IHateForALiving Also can't use frameworks. No frameworks and no new css. Only basic legacy-friendly stuff.

@IHateForALiving I can't use flex. It doesn't work on some of the legacy browsers I need it to work on.

@bad-frog time. time stops me. I only have so much of it in a day.
