Dear new version of Firefox,
When you open up a new window, usually against my wishes, and I go to close it, I would appreciate it if only that window would close. You see, what actually happens is I get a pop-up that warns me of all the tabs I will be closing. In fact, I am only closing one – the single tab in the single new window. But you don’t seem to know this. What you seem to think is that the “X” on that new window also counts as the “X” on my main window – the one with a bunch of tabs open. And to make the problem all the worse, when I click “Cancel”, meaning “No, do not close all my tabs”, you go ahead and close everything anyway. Please knock it the hell off.
Sincerely,
Everyone

I would make this a “Thought of the day” post, but I don’t like having those posts appear back-to-back. So a few things:
- Dear guy who sits on the locker room benches naked, Please stop. Thanks.
- I admire the visibly out of shape people who go regularly.
- I saw a guy with two heavy duty crutches and a big plastic boot on his surely broken foot today. What’s your excuse for not going?

I find the deaths of 20 people to be more offensive than the burning of any book.

This post of mine has been “liked” or reblogged 305 times on tumblr.
I’m tired of hearing America is the best at this or the best at that all the frickin’ time. It’s a fat country with bad health care, bad politics, bad education, bad infrastructure, bad religion, a horrific income gap, a load of violent crime, moronic drug laws, rampant racism, people who deny the rampant racism, sexism, people who deny the rampant sexism, an active and overt hostility to higher education, and a population that consists of large blocs devoted to ideology over real-world pragmatic answers.
And to top things off, it’s filled with the sort of people who give idiotic responses to all these facts by saying, “Well, if you don’t like, why don’t you leave?” Morons.
Garnering me a grand total of…5 hits. When I get randomly reposted on Reddit, on the other hand, I tend to get 500-1000 hits. I thought tumblr, especially with its simplicity, had more power than that. I wonder if the blogging market is just too saturated, if people treat tumblr a lot like Facebook (i.e., very casually), or if it’s just too early in the site’s life.
Or maybe people just don’t follow sources.

Old people should be banned from Facebook. That doesn’t necessarily mean anyone over a certain age; that isn’t my definition of “oldness”. But the site certainly was better when it was only open to college students and therefore had a higher percentage of technologically competent people.

For anyone who finds it amazingly annoying that Firefox 4.0 has inverted the Open New Window and Open New Tab functions when right clicking a link, this add-on can be downloaded to fix the dumbassery.

From Facebook’s FAQ section:
Can I turn off or hide Facebook Questions?
As with other Facebook applications like Photos and Events, there is no way to turn off Questions.
Fuck you, Facebook. Fuck you. I don’t care which of my friends prefer Coke over Pepsi. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.
