  • ooooh, sweeet.



    I'm gonna be getting a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50s for christmas, so I'm pretty pumped~ ^w^
    Nice. I haven't actually tried that pair yet, but I've heard they tend to be a little over-responsive in the low end, so just a forewarning.

    You know what I don't understand? Conservatives who say that everyone on welfare should "just get a job" but also bitch about how high unemployment has been under Obama.

    I mean...really? You're gonna acknowledge that jobs are scarce, then turn around and imply that the only reason not to have a job is laziness?

    That actually really makes sense.

    Thank you for that, CA.

    I never got that either.


    You gotta chose one or the other.

  • I think when Conservatives say that they are referring to a specific group of people.

    eg. my stepfather, who has used unemployment to make him not have to work for the next two years while still getting far more money a month than my mother (who works full time) does, and has also been able to get the federal government to pay for him to go back to school, because he was technically laid off by his company.

    Yeah, but they seem to believe that like all unemployed people are like that, which, from my personal experience, just isn't the case.

    I have not. It's just sitting on my shelf right now for when I finish all the other books I've started...


    I have terrible follow-through on this stuff. >_<

    I am also like this. I wonder if this is common?

    I'm sure some do, but I wouldn't say all of them think that.

    Even my mother who is probably the most conservative person I know (conservative enough to vote Constitutionalist) is willing to admit that some people do need unemployment. I think it's more of a stupidity thing than a political alignment thing.

    I have several books on my shelf waiting to be read, but it's mostly because I got addicted to making Mario levels instead.

    Alas

    Not all conservatives do this, but it does seem to be a common view, especially among more sheltered individuals.

    In general, I get the impression that political groups perceive the people they demonize as being a lot more prevalent and threatening than their opponents perceive them as being.

    I feel like the internet eats up most of the time I would otherwise spend reading.

    You'd be surprised at how addicting the internet is when it's your primary form of social interaction. >_<

    But why have you set my language preference to English (US), YouTube?  Why do you always do that?

    Is there really that much of a difference?

    Does it like, change how certain words are spelled by default?

    Same here.

    Which is not so bad when I'm learning stuff.  It's after wasting time clicking around forums, webcomics, or stupid lists like on Cracked that I feel guilty.

    This is a major reason why I take extended breaks from the Internet sometimes.

    I have no idea, but lately they always specify (US), when previously it was (UK).

    I have yet to notice any difference, I just find it kind of puzzling.

    You piqued my curiosity so I set mine to "English (UK)"

    The only difference I've noticed so far is "Favourites"

    Agreed. When I'm being productive (learning something or creating something "worthwhile") I don't mind it so much, but oftentimes I just end up dicking around on forums and looking at nonsense on Tumblr.

    I've thought about taking internet breaks, but, er, there's a certain Coloradan who I think would be upset if I did... >_>

    It would be funny if that was literally the entire difference. One letter 'u'.

    Bizarre.

    Maybe "Worldwide"?  It's an American site.

    "Worldwide" was what I went with...

    It's strange; apparently visiting http://youtube.co.uk/ switched my "content location", but I had to switch the English language thing manually.

    The word lunatic is now banned.

    And while we're at it let's ban the dictionary too.

    What the fuck.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    That's a good idea!  Lets.

    Pointless word repositories, who the fuck needs them?

    That's not even a complete language with grammar and syntax, it's a list of sounds that people made more than once.  What's the fucking point?

    Fuck you dictionaries.  Fuck you.  Eat a dictionary.

    Fucking things.

    Simply that the word will not be used in federal legal documents, on the basis that it's outdated and considered demeaning by many.

    Minor annoyance: The "Share" button on the new YouTube page doesn't have the "long link" option anymore.

    I used that a lot; it was an easy way to get a "clean" link for embedding here without having to copy from the address bar and delete all that &feature=related junk...
