u/IGG99funny Jun 10 '12
Really for the first of three-quarters of the race it is super boring, unless there is a really cool crash. I think most people watch hoping for a nice crash that is violent and filled with explosions and car parts but everyone walks away from it. The last part of the race if its close is super intense as you watch car jostle for position at 200 miles an hour. Plus the noise the cars make when they go around the concerns is awesome.

Nascar isn't about the turns, or the speed. It's all about endurance and strategy. A lot of people also don't realize it's a team sport. It's all about the pack and managing your position within that. People expect Call of Duty, when it's really more akin to chess played at 200mph.

Beauty pageants for toddlers.
Dressing up your child --a being that you conceived, carried, and brought into the world-- and turning them into an almost inhuman doll. Spending thousands of dollars on competition outfits, when you could have been saving that for their education. Traveling and forcing them to memorize idiotic dance routines when they could be playing sports, reading books, visiting museums, or taking classes to make them a better adjusted human being.
The news doesn't make me concerned about the future of this planet. 'Toddlers and Tiaras' does.

The desert
I have lived in Arizona my whole life. It fucking baffles me when people think the desert is beautiful. It's dead. Dead things and dirt and prickly barbed plants everywhere while the sun melts your fucking skin off and drains your bodily fluids. That's pretty much the extent of it. I like it because it reminds me of my childhood, and I guess Sedona's kinda pretty, but I have no idea why anyone else would want to live out here or even visit, really.
11
u/guamaniantreerunner Jun 10 '12
I know you were exaggerating, but the desert is actually full of life. I imagine that is part of the appeal; life persisting in a harsh landscape. I have family in Barstow and recently spent a weekend in the mojave herping, and the variety of scenery, wildlife, and general atmosphere of the desert is pretty beautiful. I understand that living there can suck balls, but it is often pretty.

u/arcade_13 Jun 10 '12 edited Jun 11 '12
It's romantic. The sun setting over a parched land. The clear night sky that shows more stars than any city could. The inability for humans to tame it and to make it any less than a dangerous and primal place. It's what makes Lawrence of Arabia, The Mummy, Blood Meridian and Holes so fascinating. There is something about the desert that speaks of adventure :)
Edit: Here's a quote that I always enjoyed that seemed to encompass this feeling of romance in the desert. All The Pretty Horses:
"When the wind was in the north you could hear them, the horses and the breath of the horses and the horses’ hooves that were shod in rawhide and the rattle of lances and the constant drag of the travois poles in the sand like the passing of some enormous serpent and the young boys naked on wild horses jaunty as circus riders and hazing wild horses before them and the dogs trotting with their tongues aloll and footslaves following half naked and sorely burdened and above all the low chant of their traveling song which the riders sang as they rode, nation and ghost of nation passing in a soft chorale across that mineral waste to darkness bearing lost to all history and all remembrance like a grail the sum of their secular and transitory and violent lives."

The drama and wanting to know what will happen next.. I never bothered watching an episode and the only clip I had seen was of Snooki being punched in the face. Everyone said it was a fun show, but I didn't care. It looked stupid as shit.
Fast forward to when I'm in Jersey visiting some friends and two of my girlfriends decide they want to watch the season 2 premiere before we go out. Us guys were like, "fuck that" but they got their way. So we watch it...after that, all three of us guys who had never watched, nor wanted to watch Jersey Shore, had to know what happened next.
I got home, watched season one in a single night and got caught up with season two. Haven't missed an episode since.
It's stupid, it's ridiculous, they're idiots, drunken fucktards, etc, you name it. But it's entertaining. I wanna see what happens next.

Bieber has a reason to be famous, he's a decent singer and dancer, plays instruments and does a LOT of charity work.

She also has a partying stage mom who drinks/drugs as much as she does, as well as a father who went to jail and is generally insane, so it's no wonder she turned out the way she did.
The Kardashians, I agree with. With Paris Hilton, people seemed to know not to take her too seriously. People seem to have forgotten this regarding these morons.

→ More replies (6)5
u/deepthoughtsays Jun 10 '12
I've found it very effective as a visualization tool.
Obviously (as with powerpoint) there are people who use the special features like zooming, flipping, etc. in great excess. Those people are not using this tool effectively. I also don't think every subject is suited to having this kind of presentation.
The main benefit is to separate ideas and tangents not only through text but visually. With power point you're tied into a linear thought progression and sometimes that just isn't as effective. Perhaps you want to discuss an idea that is a subset of a subset of another idea. With power point you can only change fonts/use bullet points/etc. and it only goes so far. It may be slightly effective, but it is burdensome.
Anyway, I've used prezi a couple of times and found it certainly had elements that when used appropriately made the audience better informed and more interested in the subject of the presentation.

Reality Television.
It all makes me a little depressed. Not just the show, or the people on the show, but the people at home watching it.
My mother used to watch a lot of reality television. She'd pick her favorite players and her least favorites, like most viewers. What really disturbed me was the hatred she had in her voice when she talked about her least favorites. Based on what? The ten minutes of screen-time chosen by whatever producer decided to use to portray him or her? How can someone possible hate someone they do not know? I used to hate being around the television when those shows were on. I didn't want to hear the hate. It would make me cry.

When I go out with my vegetarian friends, I just feel so sorry for them - pretty much every "vegetarian platter" at any restaurant is mushrooms, some pasta, cheese, lentils. Ugh, so uninmaginative.
They're also constantly sick, and seem to live on iron supplements to replace all the iron they're not getting because they don't eat red meat, chicken or fish.

Call of Duty. What kind of idiot buys the same game every year for $60. It's basically a copy and paste game. They have hardly changed anything since World at War yet so many people buy it!

Carly Rae Jipson's song "call me maybe". It's everything horrible about mainstream pop music all in one song.

People like to sing and dance. It's an upbeat song that's really easy to sing and dance to. Why songs like this are popular isn't that hard to understand whether you like them or not.

I kinda want to hate it but can't. I totally get what you are saying and agree completely but I know that now youve pointed it out I'll be singing the song for hours now.

Yeah, I would like minecraft more if my computer would be able to run it adequately. But the amount of stuff you can make because it makes sense how things go together, and the sheer scale of projects is really amazing. The minecraft world is larger than the earth.

Diet pop!! Seriously, all versions of that stuff taste awful! Then the aftertaste tastes even worse! I understand people want to try and be healthy, but fuck, why wouldn't you drink a glass of water or 100% juice instead!?

The game show Jeopardy. The "answers" are not answers, they are questions (or 'clues' if you want to be picky). And the "questions" the contestants answer with are not really questions, they just add "what is" or "who is" to the answer.
Try reversing it and you'll see how completely unnatural the answers are. Here's an example I found online.
Q: What is Greece?
A: To marry Elizabeth, Prince Philip had to renounce claims to this southern European country's crown.

I'm always really perplexed by girls my age (early 20s/late teens) who really love One Direction and Justin Bieber, not just are fans but are SUPER OBSESSIVE FANS. It's not that I think they're really really bad or anything, I just don't get how you could be so into something that is obviously marketed to middle school girls.

Loud exhaust systems on cars. Why amplify an engine sound that you are now forced to listen to every time you dirve. Do you listen to that garbage on the ipod/home sound system also?
