fads and phrases and annoying things we are sick of 2009

506. Skankin' Pickle

that's a thing in '09?

somtimes when i see thist hread title i think it says farts or fags

"more of an annoying thing than a fad, but it's another way for luddites to be all smug about how much they "don't need" technology. (nothing against luddites, just don't like the smugness. i don't "need" facebook either and i'm not impressed that you're not on it.)"

Two questions arise:

1) How do you know they're 'bragging'?

2) Isn't it possibly just a tad presumptuous to assume they give a rat's tossbag whether or not they are impressing you?

new to this meme?

(yes they are almost definitely bragging)

I met a 20 year old girl who said she wasn't on Facebook and I think she thought it was a virtue, but it wasn't annoying or very braggy. People mention it in conversation. I guess it seems a more pertinent comment than the I-don't-have-a-tv comment, because people have grown up with tv usually and know what it is, but Facebook seems more of a trend, like, "I haven't tried it yet, this is why." Some people blurt things out. This was a very talkative girl.

I deleted my FB account. Not so much because I want to appear above it, more that I simply don't have time anymore and was only using it for Lex/Scrabble. I do miss it, but I won't go back.

Has anyone mentioned chick lit? Hate the term.

Chiclet?

until a few months ago, if Facebook came up in conversation, I might have mentioned that I didn't have an account because a few years ago I went and killed all my social networking accounts due to privacy concerns. I finally buckled and signed up for it. I was wrong about it... the whole "wall" function, and the ability to read it on my cell phone, makes it something new entirely. Something that sucks.

I don't think "not needing" technology has anything to do with the vast majority of people who aren't into Facebook.

i deleted FB because it was making me hate a lot of mostly nice folks who were acting like fucktards and saying smug awful things. it was like 15% fun max.

ilx is like 95% fun

194. Beards. And it sucks, because I wear a beard. I have had a beard for most of this decade, and I feel naked and weird every time I try to shave it.

i shaved my beard for the first time in four years. and it was a big big big mistake.

oh this reminds me that I need to shave soon

farts

fags

"monetize" "incentivize" etc

man you need to cleanse your mind or something

xp yeah you too

"monetize" only annoys me when coming from people who think they will. Pointing out things that cannot be monetized is the new black, imo.

Oh, and it's really, really black.

i deleted most of my FB apps and "fan" statuses. i was sick of the spam and also had privacy concerns. but facebook still keeps finding ways to make itself worse.

Facebook itself is fairly safe, as near as I can tell. Dig into your settings, set your defaults to nothing, go "black" as they say on FB (meaning not even your name can be clicked), and you're pretty secure. FB apps are another story entirely. I don't use any anymore. No quizzes, no games, none of that shit. It's not the data mining that bugs me, it's the lack of control I have over it. Fuck all of that until they fix it.

Zombies.

683. Pirates/Talk Like a Pirate Day (or was this more 2008 than 2009)

Yeah, for me that pirate/ninja shit was played out years ago. This year it's zombie kitsch I am sick of. I'll probably still play Left 4 Dead 2 and rent Zombieland when it comes out, but I am so god damn sick of zombies.

me too, although i watched the argento cut of dawn of the dead on halloween.

zombies are definitely the new pirates

People who hug everyone they meet and are weird if you are reluctant about hugging them. I hug family members, but I don't see why everyone fucking hugs everyone. What happen to a good handshake?

this is what happened

re: zombies

Y’all should just follow my example and not socialize with people so much and stay in and stick to things that are classic like zombie movies. Pirates and ninjas (man, weird that there wasn’t a ninja cinematic revival, given how tied together those things were as trends) come and go, but zombies are all-time. So long as you don’t hang out with a bunch of fuckwits who are always “I got this great myspace flyer for a shamble."

bye kingfish ;_;

I'll put this on the facebook thread too, but it's what I was talking about re:facebook apps.

is that what it is? it is a shamble? there was one at the supermarket

"Shambles" are the zombie version of flashmobs.

I would be so fucking pissed if one were to happen at my Safeway.
