On March 06 2013 01:00 urSa wrote: when someone you don't really know says "whats up"....do they really want to know or should you just say whats up back????? I think its turned into the new age form of greeting almost... My argument mainly comes from how English textbooks in non-english speaking world still starts the whole greeting out as "Hi, how are you? Nice to meet you", and its really odd to hear it nowadays simply because no one uses it I use "Hey" or "Hey man" or "Sup dude" these days because I had a friend complain to me about how cold I was on skype when I only replied with a "?" Personal preferences and stuff though. I guess it comes down to how you use "whats up" or reading the person who said it - Is he laid back? Is he still maintaining eye contact or did he just past by and greeted me? Are we the only people in this new converstion (e.g. friend talking with someone and you walked in) Of course if you feel obligated to answer and you want to meet a new friend anyways you can always treat it as an ice-breaker instead of wondering so much about it. Obviously if you just want to return the greeting just nod your head, say hi or something similar, and just keep moving. EDIT: How the fuck did I start writing a strategic approach on "whats up?" | ||

If that statement is true, then everything but that statement is relative. Thus, not everything is relative.. | ||

Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin are so much better." And yes, I have heard people say things as inane as that Yeah, some subcultures and niche genres were thriving a lot more in the mainstream in certain generations; however, music is in the best state it has ever been. Thanks to the internet and streaming services, so many unique genres and bands are getting the exposure that they wouldn't have gotten even just five years ago. Even bands who have been around for decades are just now getting popular. There's something for everyone and it's relatively easy to find what you want (back then, you had to get invested in tape trading and subscribing to zines). People who say "I was born in the wrong generation" now have access to entire databases of music from their favorite decade; allowing them to discover bands that they wouldn't have even heard of if they actually did grow up in that generation. Also, thanks to people discovering hidden gems with the internet, all sorts of genre revival scenes have been popping up all over the place - e.g. occult rock revival. However, I guess if you wanted to experience the whole package, like wearing colorful neon spandex and tons of hairspray while watching your favorite band live when they were young and at their prime, I guess you have somewhat of an argument. I mostly agree with you, except for 2 reasons: 1. Even though I can download every single sound ever made by a member of led zeppelin, I will NEVER see them live. 2. A lot of what is popular these days is considered crap by those that think "i was born in the wrong generation". Part of me thinks that was probably true for any popular music in any generation, but another part of me wants to stab a girl that has never read a book in her life when she tells me how poetic Lil Wayne's lyrics are. | ||

"At the end of the day" Shut up "Tell me about it" Erm, I just did "To be honest" What's the bloody point of saying that. Yeah, tell me about it. But to be honest I think you are missing at least some sense in those. Idioms are basically shortcuts of expressing yourself. And at the end of the day using those is kind of easier than having to go at great lengths of explaining some complex ideas. | ||

Seriously, the most useless phrase of all time. It's not even profound or anything. It's just a declarative statement, for christ's sake! "No offense" Just used to cover something up right before or after you say something that you meant that is insulting. So stupid and an obvious, tasteless cover up phrase. Come on people. T.T | ||

The correct answer should be newtons since it is measure of force. The right question is what is your mass? If you want someone to answer in lbs or kgs. But if you do this people get confused because they know jack squat about physics. If you did this to me I'd be confused because you are acting like a douchebag. Please stop thinking you are better than other people because you know physics better than they do. P.S. Seriously a lot of people in this thread need to start reading between the lines (but that's impossible, isn't it?). You are not being smart by picking on evident stuff, it's quite the opposite. | ||
