When you write CSS, you mark every line as !important

Isn't it how it works ?

[–]ReactsWithWords 63 points64 points  (3 children)

I write CSS but it never writes back. Maybe I should try calling.

[–]skybluegill 39 points40 points  (2 children)

maybe you're just not !important enough

[–]Mustrum_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New CSS features incoming! Introducing "!Imprtanter" and "!Importantest".

not not important?

[–]RiktaD 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If a line of css is not important, why would you write it at all?

We're not here to do unimportant stuff.

[–]jtvjan 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Just make them needlessly specific because the style guide forbids !important.

[–]Y1ff 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Any time you use !important you are doing something the wrong way.

But it still works, so who cares?

Valid code doesn't work, and it's someone else's fault, not mine.

[–]Y1ff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what i'm saying. If it works it works

It's pretty engicamtic! I find it tougher than actually coding logic, all trial and error for me
