There's this Facebook page that's dedicated to news from the town I live in. Nothing inherently bad about that, except every single report is "Oh gosh, this town is so dangerous, you can't even walk around in this or that neighborhood without getting hit with chains in the head (literally what was said)." Seriously, it's some of the most annoying fear mongering I've seen.

Lol the sun. Awful newspaper.

At least Toronto won't suffer a bad winter. Amazing to think there are news outlets in Canada that are as bad those here.

My thought's on this is that if it was just the conservative government we'd be good, but it's harper's government and he's destroying some of the good things Canada has.

:lol: I love how the Sun is making sure people know that America doesn't have a total monopoly on the crazy.

 

Only two papers where I am. Like all papers, they struggle with anything involving science (because the writers were studying journalism, not not science), but so does every other paper. Other than that, they tend to be pretty good, and reasonably unbiased, though I'll admit I normally stop reading the paper around elections because its all bull anyway.

 

I hardly ever browse the news though, since I find it depressing (though I will give our main paper credit for trying to put at least one happy story in there on a daily basis). If anything really major happens, either the people in my life will tell me about it, or the good people here at tipit will post something.

LOL I have yet to see an article on the Ocean Marketing disaster.

Don't know what that is, and I don't really care. I might have phrased that better though :P

 

What I mean is that I am normally interested in the news in so far as making conversation. If no one is talking about it, then I don't have much reason to care. As I said, the news tends to make me sad, so I invite as little of it into my life as I need to.

Maturity/ego battles are [bleep]ing stupid.

It's like that quote, "Being famous is like being a woman, if you have to tell people you are, you aren't", but with maturity instead of femininity.

That's referencing the provincial liberal minority victory in Ontario, by the way.

 

Harper's not great, but he's not awful. Least of several evils imo.

Small noises in the silence that are otherwise insignificant when there is background noise. I had to sleep on the sofa one night and the following morning at 9am my mother and her niece were sat on another settee drinking tea. I tried to ignore them and resume my slumber but the noises of: -slurp- -gulp- 'Ahhhhh' made me want to burn my ears.

I get this too. That's why I listen to my iPod until I fall asleep.

Woke up last night and all I could hear was my fan running, which is quite a nice sound to fall asleep to.

 

Then I started hearing this quiet beeping (three sets of beeps) in another room in my house. And for some reason, even though the beeping would stop for a minutes, I would imagine that sound still occurring. And for some reason, it started to freak me out. D:

Is it just me who finds the wanting to burn your ears a little strange? :ohnoes:

I would expect him to want to cut them off, haha.

At first I was going to stay stick cotton buds into my ear then slam it but I thought burn them would sound normal. Obviously I was wrong :P

 

 

I listen to my iPod sometimes but I always wake up in the middle of the night with the wire strangling me.

Don't worry, you were always a strange one.

Always scared of using my earbuds in bed. 1) I could break them 2) They could get tangled around me.

 

Plus, it's impossible to fall asleep if you usually fall asleep on your side (earbud stabbing you in the ear).

 

Star, I just recognized that your avatar is Bemo from Adventure Time. I enjoy that show more than any other TV show I've ever watched (except for Whose Line).

Someone care to give me a tl;dr version of that event? It was all over reddit, but I couldn't figure out what the big deal was.

You could always put one ear bud in. I always used to use my cheap Apple earbuds for sleeping.

Doing that makes me think my other ear is plugged, and I can't stand when one of my ears is plugged (either literally or because I can hear something out of one ear and not the other).

 

Plus, I swap which side I'm sleeping on many times before I actually fall asleep.

The email thread is very entertaining, but the tl;dr is that the PR representative for the Avenger controller, Ocean Marketing pretty much insulted the customer, as well as one of the PAX guys, got banned from PAX as well as having the email thread posted on Penny Arcade, the rest is pretty much what is going on now.

The Avenger Controller fiasco is quite hilarious. I'm sure Paul Christoforo is regretting his decisions.

Also, an interesting development on it.

My god damn piece of crap PrtScr doesn't bloody work when I need it to. Pressing ctrl, shift, function, and alt with it does nothing neither. <_<

Try this. You can set your own hotkeys for various capture settings in the options tab.
