Oh my, the clarity!
It’s like seeing a book that you own while walking through the library.
Something something familiar and discomforting.

When was the last time that this Gadget Screen Protection Foil Thing investment pay off for you?
And how afraid are you of realizing that you’ve just spent $10 on three sheets of plastic to protect an item that you will replace in half a year and never bother to resell as its market value will have decreased so much (no matter the screen) that it’s more cost effective to just try to forget about it?
If a man speaks his mind in the forest and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?

Why Merlin Mann (Whom I’ve Never Heard of) is a Complete Jackass
Metafilter comment on someone called, “Merlin Mann,” who had been declared a “complete jackass” upthread:
Merlin… being better than me… in everything… again.
Being a guy who rarely goes out “shopping”, I have this bad case of “ordering stuff online”. It has become slightly better lately (thank you) with the advent of “having to order stuff for my business” (weee!).
So today, a big and curiously light package arrived. I did not remember ordering something that was both big and light (Balloons? Scottish Air? A Bag of Extra Light Self-Hatred?). The only thing I remember ordering were some CDs and office supplies… and the CDs had already arrived earlier.
Opening the package up, A sea of packing material awaited me (NOT filled with Scottish Air - as far as I could tell it was plain German Air) and it took me a while to find the actual content:
Leaving aside the obvious question about why I need 4 metal rulers (obviously the answer would be - “Hey, what would I do if THREE OF THEM BREAK AT ONCE”)…
Seriously - a 64x21x39cm (the rulers work very well) package for four rulers? Do you want to make me feel bad about ordering too much stuff online?
Google Tablet concept.
I’m afraid of this world where we all have fancy tablets and surfaces and all we ever seem to care about is how well they let you spawn and position windows.
John, your constituent is a friggin’ idiot. He is exactly the kind of ex-fratboy MBA who thinks of himself as a linchpin of society, an “Atlas” upon whom the nation rests, but in reality could be replaced by any literate college grad or, in many cases, an unusually motivated ape.
Think about this logic (or “logic”) for a second: this guy no longer wants to run his business because his taxes went up a few percent. The government wants to reduce his income by 10%, so his response is to reduce it by 100%. Sheer brilliance. Go ahead, Mr. Irreplaceable. Close your business. Go broke to “teach us a lesson” about how important you are. We’ll just have to struggle on without you.
I am trying to be tactful here, but if this logic makes sense to you, I have to be emphatic: you are retarded. You’re far more likely to be in the bottom rung of society than among the “producers.”
