I’m not going to dignify the product by mentioning it here.

I went to see Vicky Cristina Barcelona (which was excellent btw), and I know exactly which ad you mean — that Kalevala Koru one right? I agree it feels wrong to pay an extortionate price for a movie ticket, then be bombarded with ads too. I’ve tried to pass the time by criticizing all the ads. They were all quite bad, probably the Fiesta ad was most ok, maybe 6 on a 1-10 ad scale.

Well, there you go. I think one success factor for any social medium is how much they facilitate recognition between users. And facilitating doesn’t just mean that you can leave a comment on their user page.

When I post on Reddit, it’s mostly because it’s nice to see people react to my postings. Even though there is no real benefit in having a top page post, it still feels so cool to get recognized. And yes, it did drive me mad that at my workplace at the university people were always mostly ignoring each other in the hallways :)

Oh, but thats easy, there are infinitely more new things in the world than there are old things. You need more vigour to keep the new things away.

No, I really meant it’s cool you’re trying new things :)

Sir,

You have to wake up earlier in the morning to get me caught with something like that! Although my sarcasm meter might be faltering (due to overuse) my linguistic part of my brains is still operational!

Your question suggests that my amazingness doesn’t have no bounds, i.e. that it has bounds. The trick here is to make the question appear as if you were asking “Does your amazingness know any bounds?”, which suggests that there aren’t any. Now, the answer to that question is left as an excercise for historians.

If, on the other hand, you DID mean the latter case, but were unaware of the full implications of that double negative to the meaning of the sentence, then shame on you Sir! I hold you in much higher regard to accept that kind of a slip.

Sir,

A lofty goal! I must keep sure that you will have plenty to comment about. The web has far too little material in it.
