No cut tags

I'm not the only one to scream about this in recent memory; I think someone was headpounding in IRC. I've screamed about this in the past, but there's now a new twist.

A cut or lj-cut is a link that obscures part of the contents of your entry, and shows the whole thing when clicked. (Or when expanded!)

A fake cut is a link that is styled to look like an lj-cut, but goes to a different location entirely.

Things that are not a fake cut: a link that has no attempt made to make it look like an lj-cut.


The new thing, which set me off just now, and resulted in me unsubscribing from a community on LJ: what in the name of the ingrown beard hairs on both of Janus's two faces is a fake link.

A fake link.

IS THIS A LINK THAT DOESN'T WORK WHEN YOU CLICK IT?
IS THIS A RICKROLL?

NO. IF IT GOES SOMEWHERE WHEN YOU CLICK IT, AND YOU SAY WHERE IT IS GOING, ACCURATELY, IT IS A LINK. NOTHING FAKE ABOUT IT.

IF YOU LEARNED THAT SOMETHING WAS A "FAKE LINK", YOU WERE TAUGHT BADLY. NOW YOU KNOW BETTER. GO FORTH AND IT'S A FUCKING LINK OK? EVEN IF IT HAS TEXT ON IT AND DOESN'T SHOW ITS HTTP. IT'S STILL A LINK.

[23:45] <DW-Drew> Yanno, I gotta wonder what would happen if I rode a horse through the drive-through at, say, whataburger....
[23:46] <Inoru> ...
[23:46] * Inoru sneeeerk
[23:46] <DW-Drew> Hey, I'm in TX, it's COMPLETELY possible for that to happen
[23:47] <Momijizukamori> ....I... can see that
[23:47] <Bugsy> denise@dreamwidth.org changed the Status on bug 4183 from CONFIRMED to RESOLVED FIXED.
[23:47] <Bugsy> Bug http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4183 minor, P4, -undecided-, denise, RESOLVED FIXED, Copyright date: now 2012
[23:47] <Azz> In AZ, jackinnacrack frowned on walk-throughs
[23:48] <Inoru> so hey The Last Unicorn is actually a SERIES now, right?
[23:48] <DW-Drew> jackinnacrack is crazy (and on crack) and are therefore not part of this thought experiment
[23:48] <DW-Drew> (or IS it a thought experiment <.< >.>)
[23:48] <Momijizukamori> DW-Drew: Depends if you have a horse, I suppose ;)
[23:48] <Azz> WOO 2012 ACCORDING TO SITEDATE
[23:49] <DW-Drew> I.. have horse access
[23:49] <kjwcode> Azz: Booger Thing in my city doesn't allow walk-throughs, but one time while I was drunk as hell, wearing a toga, and carrying a violin they made an exception.
[23:49] * DW-Drew eyes kjwcode
[23:49] * Azz laughs hard enough to cough
[23:49] <DW-Drew> kj: pics or it didn't happen
[23:49] <kjwcode> DW-Drew: I was being Nero. There were no pictures, sadly.
[23:49] <Inoru> kj: Ahahahahahaha
[23:50] <Azz> the sensible 24-hour food places have walk-up windows.
[23:50] <DW-Drew> also, see, I'd be onna horse, so, technically, is that a walk-up?
[23:50] <kjwcode> DW-Drew: You could argue that you're not the one doing the walking. :)
[23:50] * DW-Drew says horse qualifies as vehicle for this purpose
[23:51] <rahaeli> kjwcode: somehow i am strangely not surprised that you have done this
[23:51] <kjwcode> I personally agree. :)
[23:51] * kjwcode giggles at rahaeli. :)
[23:52] <kjwcode> I'm extremely self-conscious and don't like costume parties, but since I couldn't get out of it I guess I went all out.
[23:52] <Momijizukamori> kjwcode: I think this is the best thing I've heard all night
[23:52] <kjwcode> Momijizukamori: Thank you! :)
[23:52] <Inoru> :D
[23:52] <Momijizukamori> (I went to an anime convention dressed as Virgil once)
[23:52] <Inoru> omg less than 10 minutes, PST :DD
[23:52] <Momijizukamori> (A friend was Dante. It was Yaoicon ;) )
