Thread: I'd be a bad Vulcan

  1. #1

    Default I'd be a bad Vulcan

    Tabbed browsing really is the bane of productivity for me, mainly because I'll open a website in one tab, get a little distracted, then open the same website in a new tab. Which totally, completely, makes sense.

    What kinds of illogical things do you do?

    I stay up way too late for how early I have to get up in the morning. Every night I somehow convince myself that I will be fine, but I am usually pretty tired by the end of the week.

    My OCD compels me to stick random numbers that I come across into Firefox's search box and search for them.

    Google once thought I was a bot and banned me for a few hours. It is perhaps one of my greatest accomplishments.

    How can you get banned by Google? :O_O:

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I have also opened the same site in a new tab after getting lost in a see of tabs, but it's usually different page on the same site so I don't mind so much. There have been a couple of slips where it's the exact same page for no good reason.

    Illogical... illogical... I used to growl, yell at, or outright attack inanimate objects I ran into and hurt myself upon. Well, just today, I slammed a flashlight because it fell over when I was trying to get it to stand up. In my defense, my epilepsy medication makes me very irritable.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I replay the FF X-2 hotspring scenes over and over again to see my Rikku in action.

    Wait, that is logical. :manus:

    Tried to turn up the volume in my car by using the volume buttons on my phone.

    I don't know, either.

    They pop up a message saying "You are acting like a bot so you can't search for the next three hours, sorry "

    Edit: What browser are you guys using? In Firefox if you try to open a tab you already have open it just takes you to that previous tab.
