linkedin help me break my addiction to twitter - after i limited my twitter usage any time i feel the need to plug in to a stream of updates i'll go to linkedin, read a few posts, and then close the tab (easily, without friction)

linkedin is kinda like methadone for social media

that the lift part of a swivel chair base regulates the height of the chair with a pressurised cylinder of gas. I never thought about how they worked before, but at least now I know why my old knackered chair doesn't rise any more.

See, you manually raise it to the top, sit and commence work. It should very slowly descend through your work. When you reach the bottom, you have completed one seat-session of work. It’s like the worst xkcd comic ever.

if it goes down before you have a completed a work session then you aren't farting hard enough

This is more of a controversial ILM opinion, but I'm really sick of posters who think I want to read Christgau's opinion on literally anything. Post Christgau quotes in the Christgau thread. We don't need to hear it otherwise.

low-hanging fruit perhaps, but i loled

i still don't understand if i'm being told i shouldn't post here anymore, but it is clever i guess

I thought the C- was being awarded to Christgau in that exchange?

xp i didn't take it that way budo! posted it here just because it was a satisfyingly good imitation, but yes i agree with halfway that the intended meaning is that christgau ain't here, and we don't want him

The smug satisfaction of my first-ever excelsior shout-out tarnished by the spectre of budo taking offence — none meant! I was posting in character for lulz only. Don’t go changin’

yeah I just took it as a hilarious riff on Christgau's style. I'm a budo fan!

haha, ok! i see now how Lavator's interpretation makes sense

happy to assist here, hd

I felt bad for Christgau, though

Good post budo
