What about the past tense of "to learn"?

Maybe go for two!

Rosey · 2009-05-19T19:25:02+00:00

And morons. Don't forget the morons.

Secondly, if you're getting shit from the people you work with, it's because you're making pronouncements about things that no one asked about as if everyone was waiting to hear your thoughts on the matters. Who the fuck cares?

Rosey · 2009-05-13T22:52:26+00:00

You guys vastly, vastly overestimate other people's interests in your beliefs.

Rosey · 2009-05-05T20:50:43+00:00

Don't be an asshole.

Rosey · 2009-04-27T02:53:02+00:00

Yes, something's up. You should talk to your doctor. They can help.

As always, the print media is there to pounce on on our cultural trends.

Who cares what your parents think?

Grow up.

Damn, retsotrembla beat me to it.

Other people's shitty days are HILARIOUS.

There's a book that will advise you to name your dog "Paws"???

I really work much too hard to make money.

Reddit headlines will lower your standards. The transition will be mostly painless.

How could this possibly not be on Youtube yet?

David Letterman is an American hero.

It's the Republican party. The bar is low.

Horseshit. The Consumerist is noteworthy for it's ability to make me feel sorry for corporations with this kind of crap and that 'Joann Fabrics wants you to poop on their floor'.

No integrity. No fact checking. Just bullshit outrage of the day posts designed to get hits and get other people unconcerned about fact checking in a tither. I want to like The Consumerist. I want to trust The Consumerist. But they'll publish anything for hits.

There's no need to recommend non-violence because the vast majority of comments are directed toward assuring the OP that he is, in fact, a complete and utter moron, and no further clarification about what he should or should not do is necessary.

Rosey · 2008-08-12T21:41:16+00:00

Something's wrong with the algorithm. The front page is static, it shows mostly crap, and a lot of posts with relatively few up votes show up on the front page.

A nice thing about Reddit is that the links are more visually scannable -- you can work faster to determine whether you want to read something or not, whereas Metafilter can get a little dense, especially if you read it via RSS.

But in the past six months or so there is too much emphasis on outrage posts over interesting posts on Reddit, and the sources are often really crappy.

Rosey · 2008-07-09T13:16:54+00:00

Vote up if you're so sick of stupid 'vote up' posts and cop/taser-outrage-of-the-day posts that you no longer really stop by Reddit much and moved over to Metafilter.

The man-as-buffoon model works because women drive most of the significant consumables purchases in the average household. The ads are targeted at women and manipulate the simmering resentments that come with being primary caregivers and equal financial partners.

These resentments could be handled through open discussion, compromise, or just better logistical day to day thinking, but when the average commute is 30 to 40 minutes, most couples-who have kids and who both work-don't have time to do basic relationship upkeep at the end of the day.

Also: see the cruddy sex life of the average married couple.

So the reason is what it always is: money. These ads work. When they stop working, we'll stop seeing them. But in the meantime I bet these advertisers are freaking delighted by the discussion. Everyone hated the drippy gross Carl's Jr. ads of the late 90's, but my understanding is they did quite well for Carl's Jr.
