Your Bargaining Posture Is Highly Dubious

Ok, I am not a father, don't play with kids, nor do I currently play games that don't involve a keyboard of some sort. What the gently caress is going on here. I really want to appreciate this picture and am grateful for having the opportunity to post about it in this thread.

I would have figured that in the age of widescreen TVs, "split screen" would mean split left-and-right.

i think it depends on the kind of game. like racing games have a vertical split since its more important to see farther ahead and shooter games have a horizontal split since its more important to see your sides.

I think everyone throwing shade at T-Swift just haven't given her music a chance. Seriously. Load up a couple of her albums on Spotify and give them a listen and then see what you haters think.

I would love to, but I can't.

Pretty much. I never heard a Justin Bieber song that I liked, but holy cow did people go overboard on the hate. Kid was only like 14 or something when he got big, and just got hit with a huge wall of hate and vitriol right from when he got famous. I doubt it was anything intensely personal about the guy, most of the people probably only heard a couple clips of his songs. Of course he went on to do skeevy things, but it was way before any of that stuff came out.

People are just mad that teenage girls aren't listening to "real" music, whatever that means to the person gettin' mad over pop music. And Taylor Swift's latest stuff has been pretty drat good.

Yeah, the beeb didn't get insufferable for like, another five years. I never understand the out and out vitriol teen pop stars get from adults, like they're playing a constant brown note or something. At the end of the day, most of that stuff is pretty much inoffensive and paper thin substance wise, and is some of the most forgettable songwriting wrapped around a catchy beat. If anything, it's some of the easiest stuff to ignore.

A surprisingly large number of adults continue to listen to top 40 radio, and get angry at the constant reminders that they are no longer the target demographic. "Why does the radio station I have always listened to not play the songs I like any more? Clearly music is objectively worse now."

There is an optician (optimist?) at the wal mart eye clinic who looks astoundingly like Taylor Swift, and one time she cleaned my glasses.

So, in my book, Swift is pretty cool because she does a hell of a job getting nerd goggles looking all see through.

Thank you for letting me share my Swift Story with you all.

The real problem is listening to radio in the first place.

Sometimes, it means the same screen, only with polarised glasses that have the polarisation at 90° to each other. You both see your own screen, and have no way of seeing the other person's screen. It's pretty sweet, but also hell-of expensive for the TVs that support it.

But that's not a funny picture.
