I used to feel similarly about search suggestions when they were first implemented, until I realized how much typing they've saved me over the years. Which is more important on a fiddly touchscreen than on a real keyboard, admittedly.

DYRE · 2017-07-30 21:40:39

Suggestions are fine. I guess they seem vaguely creepy but like it's not like they wouldn't be tracking and statistics-ing everything you search for even if they didn't do suggestions.

The other stuff though does bother me since it makes Google kind of useless for anything sufficiently obscure which apparently includes lots of things I want to search for.

What i hate is when i turn on gps and get to where I'm going and get a prompt with information about the place and a request to take photos

Calica · 2017-07-30 22:15:20

"Ralphs photos are popular on Google Maps." no they're not you stupid ad

So, an iceberg the size of Delaware broke off of Antarctica a couple of days ago...

Hands to the sky, knees to the floor, head to the clouds and yell NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yarrun XIX · 2017-07-31 01:55:15

Birds gotta bird, icebergs gotta iceberg. It's how it is.

Sometimes an iceberg just wants to go off and do its own thing, you know?

Viani · 2017-07-31 04:15:21

I wonder how Google feels about my searching habits

"Hey google, look up Anime redhead ripping a penis off of a rapist with her ponytail"

Google: "Ah, trying to find the source of ytmnd.ytmnd.com again, I see Master Viani?"

Anonus · 2017-07-31 04:34:55

I didn't say much about this but today's my 23rd birthday...for about an hour and a half more

I thought you knew that

And thanks

Imipolex G · 2017-07-31 04:43:30

Yarrun XIX · 2017-07-31 04:43:44

What I know and what I don't know are very malleable things

SF_Sorrow · 2017-07-31 04:47:36

I've filtered my online dating profile. Everyone has to be between 20-25 years old and send a message that is over 50 words long. This is to stop the onslaught of messages from 30 something year olds sending me a message that just says "hi".

I'm a high maintaince woman.

this is better than what i remember of okcupid (which was probably more useful as a personality quiz site?)

what site is this

glennmagusharvey · 2017-07-31 11:33:35

also lol i find out i am 22 pages x 50 posts per page behind on this thread now that i accidentally clicked on it

lee4hmz · 2017-07-31 14:44:04

I had an okcupid profile once, and I don't think I got anywhere with it (that and I'm pretty sure I saw a few fake profiles).

Tatterhood · 2017-07-31 14:55:36

I did okcupid briefly. I was too shy to ever message anyone, one person messaged me "hi" to which I responded with "hi" and that was it.

Princess Alice · 2017-07-31 14:56:34

I can't believe the next poster was arrested by the Queen City Metropolitan Police for piano theft

Tatterhood · 2017-07-31 14:59:03

it's a fair cop

Viani · 2017-07-31 17:56:20

OKCupid doesn't disable inactive profiles

so people send you messages even though you quit

also possible matches left the site months ago

I think I actually deleted/deactivated mine at some point.

Yarrun XIX · 2017-07-31 18:38:06

Steal me a song, you're the piano thief

I am about the same age as you are. Possibly older, depending on the month.

This is strange to me.

Epitome · 2017-08-01 01:56:42

anonus is two years older than me

happy later birfday

Tatterhood · 2017-08-01 01:59:23

Anonus, is, I guess, just under a year younger than me, as I turn 24 in a couple weeks.

Happy birthday Anonus since I guess I missed it before.

Imipolex G · 2017-08-01 02:00:37

I'm a fetus and I wish anonus a happy birthday

Anonus · 2017-08-01 02:05:37

What do you think Woosh is doing these days?

Odradek · 2017-08-01 02:25:32

He has a podcast about franchise restauraunts

Odradek · 2017-08-01 02:27:37

Also he was in that Michael Bolton Netflix special

Yarrun XIX · 2017-08-01 02:28:43

Huh

I'm not sure which one is more surprising, in terms of actually existing

Odradek · 2017-08-01 02:32:25

Michael Bolton has gone the Leslie Nielsen route of reinventing himself as a comedy straightman in the twilight years of his career

Odradek · 2017-08-01 02:32:32

Woosh is in the choir
