Thufir's Thupremely Thatithfying Thecond Random Banter With a Lithp #170

[Qwertystop]

So, one of my friends found a miscellaneous wriggling form within your sandwich today.

Yeah, she took that back.

How did she get my sandwich? Or any of our sandwiches?

[Feytalist]

Oh hey, it's weekend.

It keeps sneaking up on me.

[LaZodiac]

Oh hey, it's weekend.

It keeps sneaking up on me.

Wow, you're right. I thought this was Thursday!

[HalfTangible]

Wow, you're right. I thought this was Thursday!

That stopped for me when I started getting schedules that change day-to-day.

[Tragic_Comedian]

The weekend can sneak up on me anytime it wants to.

[AtlanteanTroll]

The weekend can sneak up on me anytime it wants to.

/is the weekend

Wee! I has driver's license! Fear me!

I know you don't live in Wisconsinland, but I'm still going to stay off the roads for a while.



ION: I got into a browser war with a friend today and it lead me to an astounding conclusion about human nature. It went something like this:

Spoiler

Show

Me: How come you like Google Chrome? Both Firefox and Opera are better.

Friend: Google Chrome is the best browser EVAR.

Me: I disagree. As I have said, I find Firefox to be better.

Friend: You're just wasting your time. Firefox sucks.

Me: And why exactly do you think that?

Friend: Because Chrome is better.

Me: You've already said that, but you have yet to prove it.

Friend: It's better because Firefox sucks.

Me: You still have no proof.

Friend: I don't need proof. It's goddamn Chrome. It doesn't need proof that it's the best.

Me: Actually, if you're going to convince me, you kind of do need proof.

Friend: The proof is that Firefox sucks.

*this continues for some time*

Me: You still haven't proved anything. How about I prove that Firefox is a superior browser in certain areas? For example, Chrome's main selling point is that it's the fastest browser. But is that true?

Friend: Well duh. It's the fastest browser EVAR.

*I proceed to link him to this test and explain to him in detail how this and other tests show that Chrome is not, in fact, "the fastest browser EVAR" (that would be Opera), and that in some cases Firefox can be faster than Chrome*

Friend: They're lying. Firefox sucks.



So, my remarkable insight into human nature: People are idiots and refuse to acknowledge facts.

IOON: I'm done with my semester-long Web Design class before the end of the first quarter Although I'm unsure of whether I should start on the next class or just goof off for the rest of the semester.

Weekend... it's here... THANK YOU GUY WHO INVENTED WEEKENDS!

[LaZodiac]

After spending a good portion of yesterday shoveling snow. And a good portion of TODAY shoveling the snow that just fell, I really only have one thing to say.

Whoever invented snow can go butt themselves in the screw. *collapses*

thankfully, the solo xp gets me a level up, so I'm alive.

Fun fact, every time I tried to write shoveling, I almost worte snoveling

[LaZodiac]

Aww, I want snow...

Then take it, please. I had to shovel above my ankles today, after shoveling halfway up to my knee yesterday. Please, take it all, the yard is already at my waist level in height and I'm like 6 foot 1. There is too much snow.

[MoonCat]

Aww, I want snow. Damned rainshadow!

Based on your descriptions of her, are you sure you weren't talking to your sister?

Seriously, all sympathy. HUMANS!!!! /reference

ION: Blah, missed lunch because of forgetting to get the check for the lunch account, English teacher crept up behind me and asked how far I was with the homework I missed (I WAS IN SCHOOL FOR FOUR ****ING HOURS LADY! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?!?!? THAT I'VE FINISHED EVERYTHING SHE ASSIGNED EVEN THOUGH I DON'T EVEN HAVE CLASSES WITH YOU ON FRIDAYS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?), did badly in French, the few people who I've actually managed to sit with during lunch are back to treating me weird, and when I finally got home I realized I'd forgotten to say late to take my french test, so I had to rush all the way back.

*keeps suggesting extra curricular activities* /needed a smiley in this post somewhere!
It keeps you at school for a while longer, you can find way better friends, and (for me) there's a good 40 minutes for any teacher talking/test catching up I might need to do.

How on earth would extracurricular activities possibly help a one time problem that has already passed, even if they did crop up again?

I'm drowning in homework and need that time to do it, I'm depressed about the people because it seems there's no one who stays where they are in relation to me for any length of time, and the lunch thing is not affected by that. Thank you for the advice, but it really doesn't help me right now, sorry.

On the people thing, extra curricular sharing people just mesh naturally. I'm not kidding, the people just kind of fit together and we all get along. Its kind of creepy, now that I think about it. Anyways, you can sit with the people in said group easily during lunch, even if they're 2 years away from you. And they are awesome with helping people with homework. (But, my experience. Your school probably just sucks. :P)

I also argued against Chrome with the privacy issues. His argument was basically "Who cares if Google knows enough about me to make a carbon copy?"

Too bad my life isnt even 1/5657565.464654(repeating '4') on the internet. A carbon copy would be very hard to do. Anyways, if any company is gonna take over the world, Google is in my top 3 choices of who should take over.

Except Chrome tracks everything you do, just like all the rest of Google's products.

Well duh, they know everything. Who else would you pick?

That counts as "the internet". All they can do is blackmail me, and then they'd be blackmailing everybody else who uses Google stuff, so people would go "huh, another dude got blackmailed. Poor sap", instead of "ostricization!!!!1oneI!". And then you Firefox people wouldn't get our advanced-chip devices and die out.

Personally, I've tried both Firefox and Opera, and found that Chrome is the only browser that can handle the ridiculous number of tabs I tend to keep open without starting to leak memory and slow down horribly. Admittedly, though, I've not tried the latest version of FF.

I do have one major beef with FF, though, that means I probably won't ever go back to it even if they do fix the memory leaks. Alt+S opens the history menu instead of doing Submit Post.

IIRC, one of the main upgrades in the FF 7 is better performance. How do you define "ridiculous" numbers of tabs?

I have no idea. It makes more sense to have history be Ctrl+H or Alt+H.

Man ... We lost the first game of the playoffs. 10-1 is still a record though, and out QB got all state.
