TheFlyingGerbil Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 well, it's all right on places like this as it's not like a traditional conversation and there will be another person or topic along shortly, but when it is one on one, it is just super awkward. It's a bit like if there are a group of people actually talking in real life - there may be a couple of people talking about one subject and the others just agreeing or laughing add to the atmosphere and make the conversation more lively, and others will join in and drop out of the chat as the topics transition. If there is only two of you if one of you isn't participating then it literally isn't a conversation any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 "You caught me monologuing!" Yeah, for me it depends on how involved in the conversation the other person seems, but over the years I've gotten better about not feeling obligated to respond the same way I would on the phone. I treat it more like texting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 See I find myself using FB Messenger a lot more lately, and gotta say I severely dislike the timestamps and "is typing" stuff. Creates pressure to respond as you know it's flagged on their end that you've seen the reply and are just putting it to the side or whatever.

CorgiShinobi Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I desperately try my best to turn a conversation into a mutual discussion rather than myself going on, and on, and on. I hate feeling like I'm dominating the conversation, saying everything about my troubles or what I'll be doing later. Then I get, "Oh, nothing much." Awkward silence... Ask a few more questions. Nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Driveby commentary. People who cannot argue coherently. Malformed and misinformed opinions. Opinions as facts. People who express bookish knowledge and apply it to the real world and become self-proclaimed internet experts when they know nothing about the real world applications. Getting up on the wrong side of the bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 To add to the "responding with one word" discussion going on, I've been guilty of it especially on Steam chat. It's not that I don't want to chat with you, chances are I have nothing to contribute or the image/video you linked me didn't amuse me enough to make me say anything besides "lol" When somebody else does it to me, especially after I write a wall of text I take the hint they don't care about the topic enough to write full responses. Like them discussing politics and me responding, then switching the topic to a specific game and them saying "heh". You know who you are. You basta'd.

TheRevanchist Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Assholes who keep hacking shit to make me change my passwords every damn month to the point where I can no longer remember what my passwords are.

Thanks, assholes! And a fair warning to those with a Ubisoft account: You might want to change your password. Do you have Firefox? If so I recommend using the LastPass app [if Chrome/your browser of choice doesnt have it]. It has saved me in two aspects: 1. When you log into a website it asks if you want it to remember the username/password. From now on whenever you visit that website it'll autofill the password and username. 2. You can even auto-log in in many websites as well. The LastPass vault with all your shit is protected by a password but you can log in/out whenever you want to protect your info. Main password you'd have to remember is the lastpass vault. I personally keep it open since nobody else uses my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yeah LastPass is on Chrome too. It'll also generate passwords too, so you're pretty secure for most. The only issue being an inability to remember those passwords since you didn't make them and they're usually gh30fAH2f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) That's easy enough. If you go to the vault itself and right click the specific website/usename/password combo you can edit out the password. There should be a checkmark there that lets you see the password as is, if you forgot it. From there you should be able to change it on the website itself. Problem is if you change the password somewhere else and dont log into the browser with lastpass for a while and forget. Then the old password will do you no good.

deanb Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yeah I know you can edit the password, I was meaning that while it's nice it has a generator feature it's kinda useless as you'll likely be unable to memorize it. Then in those situations where you've not got access to LAstPAss (not being on your PC, signing into a client like Origin, Twitter, phone apps, etc) then you're kinda boned until you get back on your PC and can check the generated password. So I skip on that part and use my own system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baconrath Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Please don't play macro (micro?) heavy games like LoL or Starcraft in public places like the library because all that the people around you hear is CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK. It's very distracting.Or you could find a quieter mouse. That would be nice, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Continuing on Will Smith and his children: FUCK OFF WILL SMITH. I don't care how talented you swear your kids are, they aren't. Your wife had ONE good movie, you don't cum greatness. Similarly your kid was good at ONE movie, and your daughter hasn't had her one good song yet. This means your wife oozes a one-hit wonder and it overpowers your greatness. After Earth was bad and you should feel bad. WHY. WHYYYYYYYY. Would you ask for Shyamalan specifically? I know you wanted the movie to be your kid's magnum opus but it only ended up being your kid's giant turd. Also Adam Sandler. Adam Sandler makes great movies. They are hilarious as they are endearing. Mike and Jay agree with me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 What happened to Adam Sandler? Why is it suddenly so hard for him to make a movie that's funny anymore? He's done it before, we know he's capable of it, but it's been so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
