"Disturbing imagery, convoluted plot, no no no no wrong, see me after class."

that certainly doesn't look like something they find in a serial killer's apartment

that looks an awful lot like the law textbook of a law student who is falling apart

omg wait it says "MY LIFE IS NOT OFF TRACK" in the spine

haha i used to hear that line a lot growing up

that looks an awful lot like the law textbook of a law student who is falling apart

Ha, yes.

Also LOL at that person protesting too much re the shattered remnants of his life.

i finish work, i go to the pen store, i buy a new color pen, i go home and i read the first four chapters of ephesians again until bedtime. you gotta have a routine.

In Chapter 4, they just circled the word "one" over and over.

Possible hidden references to God's favorite Metallica track?

Oh, wait a second, that would be in the Old Testament, must be his fave U2 track...

this is actually what was in that briefcase full of October lyrics that got stolen from Bono in the 80s

is it just me or is there 10x the buzzfeed links on my fb wall compared to a couple weeks ago? did buzzfeed and fb make some backroom deal that makes the buzzfeed links all go straight to the top? does fb just know much i hate buzzfeed and they're like negging me with it or smth? is it because i'm typing "buzzfeed" so much in this post, has ilxor made a backroom deal with facebook and now all my posts are being sold? how the fuck is buzzfeed more popular than it was before, has it still not peaked? am i actually feeling bad for cracked.com right now? remember cracked.com?

is buzzfeed actually even a brand? is there a single person in the universe who has ever said "I like Buzzfeed" or "I have any positive feelings at all about the website Buzzfeed and not just this list I found"? does buzzfeed want us to know it exists? does it even have a main page? i have clicked on a million buzzfeed articles and i'm 100% certain i've never been to a main page. how the fuck is it organized? where do buzzfeed lists come from? like i know they come from 1. UNPAID HUMAN BEINGS and 2. PAYING CORPORATIONS but how do they get from "just being compiled and existing somewhere" to "all the fuck over all of social networking everywhere" if there literally isn't a single person in the world who has ever made the active choice to visit buzzfeed.com? is there actually a buzzfeed.com? should i be scared?

how much money am i worth in buzzfeed page clicks

u could always just quit facebook

that's not the point

I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT BUZZFEED

39 Reasons Why You're So Zachlyon

16. Remember that cat from that 90s movie Go? How crazy was that?

omg where's the rest of that list

i'm finding upworthy kind of insidious lately too

This Cute 9-Year-Old Says Something That Happens to Be a Wry Political Observation And It Will Change. Your. Life.

i like how businessinsider is now the paper of record. according to my facebook.

buzzfeed just official LOL organ for koch brothers, no?

business insider on the other hand run by a guy permanently banned from the securities industry and the founder of doubleclick.

upworthy aaaaagh. at least buzzfeed allows you the privilege of knowing what you're going to see when you click the link. upworthy just entices people with weirdly enticing pseudo-gibberish and suddenly a YT of amanda palmer is in my browser

or as upworthy calls her "THIS WOMAN"

"FEMALE PERSON DOES THING WOW, MUST LOOK JUST SEE, LOSE WEIGHT FAST TRICK"

"(x person/thing) Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity" = STOPPPPPP

haha Upworthy has tricked me several times with their vague promises!

Upworthy, Uproxx, Buzzfeed, theyre all terrible. Useless site-scraping ad-revenue-gathering BS portals that do nothing for no one. Haaaate.

I actually enjoyed reading an article about strippers in North Dakota oil towns last week that happened to be on buzzfeed but at no point did I ever think that it was actually related to buzzfeed in any way.

They're weird like that. Completely heinous 99% of the time, and then they pull something out of their ass like last March's story looking back at the Jonesboro shootings.

I can't believe she did this at school every day! Is it normal?

recently the buzzfeed guy used some cafe analogy to describe how people consume news ('they will read some news, check facebook, talk to the waiter, play with a puppy etc')

FC: You have two different kinds of content--reported stuff and the stuff about cats. Are they attracting two different audiences?

JP: It's the same audience. Have you heard me talk about the Paris cafe? You go to a cafe and you bring a copy of Sartre and Le Monde. There's a cute dog under the table next to you. So after you read the news and the philosophy, you may pet the dog, flirt with someone at another table, and talk about some trivial gossip. All these things are part of being human. You don't become stupid when you turn away from the philosophy and pet the dog. People are complex and multifaceted. When you talk to people who say it dumbs down the audience to have cute animals, the truth is nobody has a choice: because Facebook and Twitter are perfect Paris cafes.

facebook is more like a panera in akron but ok

also i don't think that person has ever been to paris or a cafe

Facebook and Twitter are perfect Paris cafes.

I was fascinated that Panera exists in the far northeast already

can we plz refer to it as Pantera so I can at least get lols out of that dull place

I just get mac and cheese when I end up there

otm

Just call it "St Louis Bread Company"

When I go to a cafe I usually bring the New Yorker, eat quickly and GTFO.

I like the implication that Buzzfeed's readers spend the rest of their time digging into Sartre and the daily newspaper and are merely engaging in the fundamentally and equally human diversion of seeing twenty Disney characters and vegetables that kinda look like them. Or maybe he's saying that the non-cat content on Buzzfeed is the equivalent of Sartre. I have no idea because his use of language is incoherent, blundering and unfocused, almost as if he had been "dumbed down" or something.

Local iOS programming group meets at a Panera. A lot of techie/business networking groups use them as makeshift meeting places. Dull, but the drip coffee is OK and their slightly stale cinnamon rolls are surprisingly good.

I work near a Panera and eat there too often, in all honesty
