I’m so old and tired, this isn’t even funny anymore. I’ll have to explain to some junior engineer about ASS. Then management will learn about this term “ass”, and use it incorrectly at every possible opportunity. Then when no one can explain ASS, I end up being “the ass guy.”

ASS (Advanced Substation Alpha)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

When I took a geometry test in eighth grade, I got a point deducted because I wrote ASS instead of SSA (side-side-angle) when calculating angles and side lengths of a triangle. Still got the right answer though

Fantastic sub format for anime.

I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana

Eyy I just watched Red Ranger, extremely enjoyable for how stupid it is. I bet I'd have loved power rangers if I watched it as a kid

I watched too much of power rangers on TV as a child.
As a result, I don't find the anime enjoyable.

Even though the premise was fun, I just couldn't tolerate it enough to feel the fun.

Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 14 hours ago

Because they knew exactly what they were doing, obviously.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 13 hours ago

Because ASS.

Because substation alpha is SSA so they just reversed it.

Because it's funny.
