Unrelated minor rage: when two people say something sigworthy, but don't quote each other, so I have to sig them both instead of just the whole conversation.

>_>

Why not just artificially make the two quotes be joined?

Edit: haha. Just realised the unrelated bit makes it seem...suspiciously related.

Already done. Makes me feel slightly shady, though. I mean, first you join two quotes for efficency's sake. And then slippery slope happens and at the end of the day you're the NSA. Or a bastard Mafia mod. Or something.

It's not evil at all. It's quite natural.

You see, when a mummy quote and a daddy quote love each other very much...

...the daddy quote contracts mummy rot.

Languages are hard to teach properly.

At least, 10 years of Mandatory French Classes have told me that :V
They make you learn French!? I knew Canada seemed too good to be true.

Canada is secretly run by Satan. Who else would get your hopes up about bacon that isn't really bacon?

Pfft, I got (get? for like 4 more hours of actual learning) to learn Spanish. A far better language to learn than French I assure you.

Do comedy websites strive to be the saddest, lowest-effort pieces of garbage on the internet? Or is that just incidental?

I feel like all their content nowadays is either "Hey, here's some gifs I found on tumblr!" or "Hey, here's a screenshot of a funny tumblr post!" When your entire website fills the same function as having a tumblr, how the fuck do you convince people to give you money?

I mean, I guess it's no better than the olden days of stealing funny pictures and putting your watermark on them, but at least all the funny pictures weren't all drawn from the exact same website.

The RNG in every game I've played today has fucked me over.

EVERY FUCKING GAME.

It's not just comedy sites. I swear half of the "online reporters" hired by major new agencies now only know how to report in the form of the Top 10 List. CNN even had an article on the guy that fucking started the trend, to whom they owe 60% of their fucking content now! When I was in J-school, I was told that was shit writing, shit reporting and basically a college student's effort in a professional business. And now, 4 years later, it's basically the goddamn norm in web media.

It fucking enrages me these people get paid to do this work, the equivalent of what a 14 year old does between masturbating and calling people fags in an online game. Trolling Twitter for the last stupid shit someone said is not journalism. Creating lists that are guaranteed to be based off something like a Cracked or SA article is not journalism. Paying some schmuck with a beard to write not-funny articles about some stupid shit he thought about today is not journalism. Posting whatever fucking viral cat video is making rounds on youtube is not journalism.

I have dreams sometimes of a Zombie Walter Cronkite rising from his grave to drag all employees of CNN, Fox, MSNBC ect....under the age of 40 screaming back into the deep earth with him.

I mean, the recent Buzzfeed list craze hasn't really caused the quality of news to drop. They've just stopped pretending it's respectable. Now the format matches the content.

And it might not be an entirely bad thing! Remember all those news articles that were 50 words of news and 450 words of bullshit to fill space? Now they'll just be a 50 word list and you can dismiss them at a glance!
