A major peeve about Facebook, other than its rather intrusive nature, are all the quizzes/requests I get from a small handful of friends. Where was this crap 15 years ago when I had time? I bet AOL would’ve remained a viable business entity if figured this out sooner; preferably before they bought Time Warner for a handful of magic beans.
I couldn’t resist the D&D alignment test on what I allegedly am as a person in the 21st century. It was pretty unscientific from what I could gather through the 20 questions it asked. Either way I got Lawful Good which seemed like a stretch. Personally I would say Neutral Good or back in the super, convoluted First Edition days when the rules were an esoteric mess, Neutral Good with Lawful tendencies. Not quite the Orwellian verbal gymnastics of Time Warner Cable’s bandwidth cap argument.
Then again, I haven’t had exactly an LG kind of day, especially in light of the Ladytron photos as I (rightfully) invoked the ire of owner. At least I was able to keep them by apologizing politely through e-mail, there’s a rarity in the Internet from my experience and following some conditions she set. Hopefully I’ve met them.
This test also had me fix up and repost an old alignment clarification piece I did last year. I think I nailed it.
