Rantable items:
- Grocery store clerks that put cold items (fruit, frozen foods, etc.) in the same bag as bananas. This bruises them, you cocks!
- Microwaves that fucking beep. Then beep again when you don’t take the food out within thirty seconds. I can tell time, asshole.
- Facial razors where when you nick yourself shaving, it’s not just one cut, but 4 parallel ones.
- The size of one’s ego is directly proportional to the number of images uploaded to their Facebook profile picture gallery.
- Facebook application requests, kind of like the old relative that always has to forward those fucking “God works in mysterious ways” e-mail.
- Playing World of Warcraft is the equivalent of being suspended in a sensory deprivation tank. You may even regress to your Cro-Magnon man ancestor’s form and go wild on the city zoo.
- Software developers that wear a tie everyday.
- Reading YouTube comments is the contemporary online abstraction of car crash rubbernecking. ∀x(YouTubePoster(x)⇒BorderlineRetarded(x))
- The inevitable fact IMDB will have at least one discussion on each entry exclaiming, “WORST MOVIE EVER!”
- To conclude the two previous items: “Always be yourself… unless you suck.” – Joss Whedon
- Who thinks leopard-print anything is a good idea?
A local shopping mall here has erected a billboard containing the slogan, “keep your eyes on the road”. Driving down the street reading this sign is like steering into a brick wall of irony.
Now on to the good:
- Stuff White People Like, best web site ever?
- The Enigma of Amigara Fault, bizarre Asian short story/comic that you must read right to left.
- Outside Online: David Shaw, a diver that attempts to make an unprecedented deep water body recovery.
- Toward a Unified Theory of Black America, a young American economist that went from crime to high academia. Oh, and he’s black. They’re so cute!
- The Big Lebowski themes, it’s about the misunderstandings held between generations, man! This connects pretty well with The Culture War.
