You know what really grinds my gears?

Autotune, the BCS, and Google.

Why does Google grind your gears?

Is that autofill thing not hiding your porn searches?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I'm sure some have been said already but:
"What team should I be"

"What games should I get" when 2 threads up there's a thread asking the same question. Why? Because I always have to answer the question....

Stores that don't have Red Hot Chips....

Autotune is the horrific robotic sound effect used on just about all terrible pop music (Think T-Pain, Kesha, etc)

I started my dislike for Google when they arquired Youtube, and basically removed all the good about the site. The 2nd reason is because of their thoughts towards net neutrality, not to go into politics, but if they get their way it will basically ruin the internet.

Google wants an open internet. Like it is and hopefully will continue to be:

http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/search/label/Net%20Neutrality

This means that for the first time, wireline broadband providers would not be able to discriminate against or prioritize lawful Internet content, applications or services in a way that causes harm to users or competition.

Importantly, this new nondiscrimination principle includes a presumption against prioritization of Internet traffic - including paid prioritization. So, in addition to not blocking or degrading of Internet content and applications, wireline broadband providers also could not favor particular Internet traffic over other traffic.

Ha, I know what autotune is. I was talking about that autofill thing on Google where it brings up your past searches or most common searches other people have done.

As for the second point, I don't see what the issue is if it's what GIGGAS posted.

I hate getting texted and being forced to become the conversation driver...I really do.

There's this one ad that runs on ESPN Radio Blacksburg that pisses me off.

"Have you thought about life insurance? What about your husband?"

I swear to God, someone didn't do a very good job profiling their target audience on ESPN Radio, unless there are a lot of gay/female listeners of ESPN Radio in Blacksburg.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I love everyone here...promise. What gets me going is when someone starts off their perception of a game (or anything to their liking) with, "Game is..."

For instance, maybe there's a preview of the latest Call of Duty game. A comment will unfold as, "Game is jaw dropping, first day purchase for me."

I don't expect anyone to stop it, and I hope no one is offended, but it's just one of those things that annoys me. Heck, I may have done it a time or two.

The outrageous cost of college. A class I had didn't have enough people register. So our professor(he comes at night from a real job to teach) offered to do it as a problems course, meaning he does not get paid. It's basically online, but he is nice enough to meet once a week so we can use equipment. Despite the face he ISN'T getting paid, we all paid normal tuition price for that class. $2000 between the four of us the school gets despit the fact the professor doesn't get paid AND we aren't even using their equipment. He brought it all from work.

And don't get me started on the useless classes like accounting they make people take.

HEY! It would make my job much, much easier if everyone had at least a basic understanding of accounting. It is very important!

I kid. I know what you mean. I wanted to take business classes, not some literature class to fill credits.

Like Biology when you're going to school for journalism?

I hate that. I feel fairly confident that I won't have to know anything about organelles and the polysaccharides when I'm a journalist.

What if you cover a story about a biologist finding a new strain of some bacterium?

Huh? What then?

Then god bless Google.

Does anybody really retain the knowledge they learn in those kinds of classes anyways? I feel like everyone just goes through the motions and forgets it all the second the class ends.

Quick quiz to test my theory: Without Googling, what's the difference between a prokaryote and a eukaryote?

Anybody that hasn't had Biology in a few years know that off the top of their head?
