Yippee-IA, Motherf***ers! IRRATIONALLY ANGRY PT. 2: Irrationally Angrier

oic compulsive lols yea that is annoying lol

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.

ILX lols mean something, maaaaan.

lol

Veg gives good LOLs.

ahem the loling was not the point PP jeez

AND I COPPED TO IT RIGHT BEFORE YOU POSTED THAT SO THERE

:)

i hate typing on my phone and then the incessant lol'ing just kinda took over I'M SORRY but I am what I am

- emails from twitter to tell me the people I already follow on twitter have tweeted

"P___ L___, J___ P___, and 6 others have Tweets for you"

Yeah, that one drives me nuts too.

"Come abooooooard, we're expecting youuuuuuuuuuuuu"

LOL

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.

otm

similarly, 30-second ads (on other site) preceding clips that are only a couple minutes long at most.

the local speciality magazine shop claims to have 'over 4,000+ mags'

that's more than more than 4,000 mags

"cronuts"

More than 4,001

dunno whether the , operator has precedence there or what

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.

What job was that for?

ffs

also fuck anything that begins 'do you agree ____'

What job was that for?

a cooking job

lol. give em the power, they've earned it!

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

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'

i totally advocated for martial law btw

<3

The job application process can be degrading

the local speciality magazine shop claims to have 'over 4,000+ mags'

that's more than more than 4,000 mags

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

So you mean you have OVER 1 million Xs?

i once saw a license plate holder that spelled the town of thousand oaks as "1,000 oaks."

that made me lol for some reason!

"hmm, one thousand oaks?"

it's a running joke with my bf and me. ONE THOUSAND OAKS

xp

29 Palms can kiss 1000 Oaks ass!

This conversation happens once every six months or so:

Me: "What's the weather like out there, around 75?

Dad: "Maybe 73."

Me: "...."

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.

^^^^

and you can't ctrl-f in spotify now

i wish you could browse more easily

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.
