Horrified Man Looks On Powerlessly As He Ruins Date
The Onion recounts one man’s horrific story of a date gone wrong:
“There was this loud, disturbing noise, and I realized it was my own voice,” Parker said. “I remember looking around the room thinking, ‘For God’s sake, somebody do something!’ Then I just sort of went numb for a few minutes there as I watched myself talk about my laundry schedule.”
“I wish I could forget everything I witnessed here tonight,” Parker added. “But it’s burned in my memory forever.”
At press time, Parker was walking Carmine to her car, insisting it was no problem despite Carmine’s protestations that it was not necessary.
Facebook Announcement Reveals Soul-Crushing Indolence of Today’s Youth
From Matthew Ingram’s coverage of today’s Facebook announcement:
It was clear from Zuckerberg’s comments at the launch that Facebook sees the new social inbox as way of appealing to younger users (as I described in my post about the rumored email launch). The Facebook CEO described how he was talking to high-school students while visiting his girlfriend’s family, and they said that none of them used email because it was “too slow.”
“I said ‘what do you mean, it’s instantaneous!’ Zuckerberg recalled. “I was kind of boggled by this.” But the Facebook founder said that he realized for many users, particularly younger users, email as it exists now is “too formal” and adds a lot of weight and social friction because “you have to think of the email address, think of a subject line, write ‘love Mark at the end’” and so on. The high-school students he spoke to preferred chat because it was easier and faster, he said — in other words, it had less “cognitive load.”
Less “cognitive load”? LESS COGNITIVE LOAD??!!! Are you fu@king kidding me? If having to think of a subject line and pay attention to little things like grammar and syntax are too much for the younger generations, I would like to officially turn in my semi-young badge and join the wizened ranks of the crotchety, cantankerous, old man. Senescence, here I come!!!
