<BOYD1981> you know, i hate it when a channel suddenly goes
quiet after a debate
<BOYD1981> it's like masturbating, and when you're finally
about to ejaculate you hear somebody entering the house
<BOYD1981> or walking up the stairs
<BOYD1981> so you have to put it away until later
<BOYD1981> another reason i hate it is because you never know
if it's because nobody has anything to say, or somebody took
what was said a little too seriously and is sitting there a
bit pissed off
<BOYD1981> show me an argument/debate/disagreement i haven't
seen before and maybe, just maybe i might get a little pissed
off
<BOYD1981> i'm more likely to get pissed off by something
pissing me off
<BOYD1981> like developer and publisher and
hellotomyfriendsandfamilyer logo animations before a game
loads
<BOYD1981> and it even gets on my nerves before a movie
<BOYD1981> especially if it's on a dvd that won't let you skip
it or go straight to the menu
<BOYD1981> to me that's propaganda, it's forcing you do watch
something you don't want to
<BOYD1981> ofcourse you can't put your hands over your ears
and close your eyes, because then you might miss the start of
the movie, accidentally hit the skip back button instead of
rewind and force yourself into being forced to watch the logos
again
<BOYD1981> or you could watch the movie once, time how long it
takes for the menu to appear or the movie to start, then turn
around and face a clock, put your hands over your ears and
count the seconds
<BOYD1981> but then if somebody walks in on you they'll wonder
why you're ignoring what the clock is trying to tell you
that's preventing you from watching the movie
<BOYD1981> so it's either watching something you're against,
or having people think you talk to clocks
<BOYD1981> ofcourse you could do the same counting method, but
turn the tv on to a different channel for a certain amount of
time
<BOYD1981> but then somebody might walk in just as soon as you
change the channel and think you were watching porn or the
mobo awards or something like that
<BOYD1981> or, you could do the same but with the tv off
<BOYD1981> but then if somebody walks in and sees you sitting
there with the dvd player running, the tv off and you with the
remote in your hand that you've forgotten which button turns
the tv on
