It doesn’t matter if you blindly follow a good person or an evil person. Blindly following anyone is a huge problem!

Like a dog with a boner
He hits on everything with a pulse. He’s like a dog with a boner…
Vectorizing a Photograph
You know, vectorizing a photograph in Photoshop, that’s like really easy, right? Just press the “Vectorize” button and you’re good to go.
Well. No.
Next time you feel you pay over prices for design, play this movie.
If you bought IT for the same number of hours it would cost you from $1200 and upwards, depending on where you bought it.
Oh, and if you want to do it yourself, here’s a link:
Chainsaw Murderer
“112, how may I be of assistance?”
“Yes, Hello? Is this 112?”
“This is 112, how can I help you?”
“Yes. I am sorry to disturb you this wonderful afternoon, however, we seem to have gotten a chainsaw murderer in our living room. We managed to lock ourselves in the bathroom but I fear he might start sawing the door any moment…”
“I think you’re a bit dramatic now. Chainsawers aren’t that dangerous.”
“He is sawing the furniture, and I’m pretty sure, if my nephew hadn’t been so quick on his feet he would have sawed him too.”
“That may be the case, but you shouldn’t be calling us for these problems.”
“I’m sorry, who should I be calling?”
“An exterminator. You’re taking up the line for life-threatening situations.”
“But, it’s a chainsaw murderer!”
“Yes, they are becoming more and more common. The exterminator knows how to deal with them. Is there anything else I can help you with?”
“No. Ah… Yes! Perhaps, a number for an exterminator?”
“This is not the yellow pages!”
Talking to dead people
Monica the Medium: I talk to dead people.
Me (thinking of Ducky in NCIS): Okay. Do they talk back?
Evil Megacorporations
I wouldn’t call Microsoft the evil megacorporation that controls every aspect of your life… there’s also Amazon, Google, Apple, Samsung…
Or, in fact… turns out those guys aren’t even close to controlling the more important aspects of our lives:
Or for that matter has the most control:
Uh, and then it turns out, at least most of the 147 companies on the second link are mutual fund companies… and who owns mutual funds? Well… we, the people, do…
The only question to ask; does this make them more or less evil?

Fingerprint ID
Fingerprint IDs are weird. Their acceptance even weirder… It’s like you would scribble your signature on everything you touched… How sure would you feel someone wouldn’t forge it after that?

Sir Lance-a-lot
“He’s waving his lance around a lot…”
“Meet Sir Lance-a-lot…”
“Meet Sir Lance-a-lot…”
Living on the Prairie
I don’t get what Bon Jovi is whining about! A lot of people are living on the prairie…
Clive Barker
They probably shouldn’t have named the dog Clive Barker… but then again, who would’ve guessed dogs understand English?
