yeah it's just as a nervous tic that bothers me. Whenever I've gotten into a g-chat or text conversation that devolves into that, I start to feel like neither of us are sure whether either of us are being sincere.

No beef, but if I had a nickel for every time I've clicked on a newly-updated bookmark only to find a lolz from ya vg, I'd at least have $5.
Most of them are lolz to witty and wry comments I've said, so you got a pass, but just saying.

I'm sure someone has mentioned this already but who really thinks i'm going to sit here and watch a pre-video Youtube advert that lasts between 1:40 and 3:59? If you don't tell me what your product is in the five seconds before i'm allowed to press "skip" i am never going to know what it is.

pre-employment personality screenings. most of the questions are so ambiguous as to be meaningless, or else there's just no way to answer without looking like an asshole. the one that stuck out this morning was "do you agree that the police deserve more power?" (first of all: to do what? to whom?) if i say yes, i look like i'm advocating for some sort of martial-law big-government society. if i say no, i look like an anti-authoritarian occupy type who clearly has something to hide.

Xp to mookie. I tutor hs students in writing and the essay prompts they are assigned are like that--really vague and you need to accept a bunch of tenuous premises before you can even begin to answer them. One recent example: Do you think the American Dream is still alive?

i worked for a now-defunct bookstore chain in the late 90s that i'm told later used these half-assed questionnaires to screen candidates. one acquaintance of mine, who had been a manager at that very chain years earlier and was totally awesome, failed the test for reasons similar to the question you raised.
anyway i'm pretty sure that you pass by advocating for martial-law society
― mookieproof, Friday, 14 June 2013 00:41 (ten years ago) link
that police question sounds like a trap of some kind! maybe you have to answer honestly to avoid the trap.

'do you think' is v. different from 'do you agree'

Similarly the often-used phrase along the lines of "We have up to 1 million Xs--or even more!"

On Spotify, when you try to find original albums by major artists, the fact that you have to scroll through reams and reams of repackaged and rerecorded bullshit first. Also the fact that albums are sometimes listed by reissue date and sometimes by original release date.

sometimes idk what I want to listen to but I can't think of anything to search for
I have such love hate feelings about Spotify. I mean, I love it. I listen to so much more music as a result of it, but it's such a huge pain in the ass to use sometimes.
I follow lots of people and listen to whatever they are listening to. I also subscribe to a bunch of best of 2013 so far lists, which helps keep me from lapsing into an old lady hole where I only listen to opera and Led Zeppelin.

cinema was FULL of people with crunchy bags last night
who the fuck takes a crunchy bag to a cinema
same. also, this was a Tarkovsky film, so there was plenty of low giggling, cuz no Tarantino style "references."
however, this complaint is rational and does not belong in this thread.
