    I've been putting in overtime on trolldad duty over the past few months, going after the grandmaster title.

    Specifically, fellow-kidsing the everloving crap out of every meme and bit of teenager-speak he comes into contact with and getting it wrong.

    "Yeet as AF, family"

    "Oh, ree", or even better, "You're finna ree when you hear this"

    "Oh cool, it's Bongo-Drum Cat"

    "Well that's not very lamp of you"

    Last night I got 20 minutes of ranting interspersed with punches, just for asking if all that mango he was reading meant he was a weebu.

    I am a bad person.

    ETA: while he was noodling around on guitar and keyboard with his schoolmate: "hey, is that the Fresh Burrito song?"

    So I have a job interview tomorrow (T-11 hrs) and their website is sort of out of date in the job placements department. As in, "there's an apprenticeship open for 2017" type of outdated.

    When in the interview, if at all, do I mention that

    It's what I use for the passwords I do need to remember, and if you pick six words at random, it's strong enough for most purposes.

    Does anyone else here read fics for pairings they don't like if they do like the premise? I know I'm not the only one, I'm just wondering how common it is and if anyone here does it.

    Hm. "Ani-maymays" should be sufficiently infuriating, I think.

    There is only one work of fan-fiction I have ever consumed:



    ... I tend to keep the entire genre in that mental bucket.

    So I just picked up my son's ukulele and a pineapple, and said "hawaii desu ne".

    He hit me.

    A lot.

    Am I a bad person for always having the urge to complicate drama threads?

    Not as a distraction technique to kill the topic (because I really hate it when people do that), just the sociopath sysadmin in me always wanting to exploit poorly-defined rulesets and induce captain_mal.gif in unsuspecting victims people.

    A bad person would follow through with the urge, someone who isn't wouldn't. At least assuming i'm reading that correctly.

    Agree with the above, with the corollary that if it's "complicate for the purpose of trying to find more nuance in the subject" it's more tolerable, whereas if it's "complicate for the purpose of throwing a grenade into the conversation to watch everyone flail" it's a pretty dick move.

    I generally take a phrase I can remember, use the initial letters and add in some numbers and the result is something that's kinda a keysmash, but rememberable.
    (Problems arise when other people know the phrase and numbers that you're likely to use, and also using the same password for multiple sites)

    Actually it would probably be more secure to take a keysmash and make a phrase out of it.

    Edit: note I do use actually secure passwords for important stuff

    Heh. My brain has a tendency to produce gibberish words/syllables anyway; I tend to hang onto particularly memorable ones and use those.

    Pretty damn un-derivable, and have the interesting side-effect that I can always recognise them as mine.

    I really want to see a bsc in english lit.

    TESTING METHODOLOGY:

    A double-blind study (n=430) was conducted. The control group was given a modified version of the text where the word 'verdant' was replaced with 'green'.
    14 hours after consuming the text, volunteers reaction times in recognizing the following adjectives were measured: ebulient, lush, riotous, abundant....

    That sounds like linguistics research. I am pretty sure that is linguistics research.
