I think it's usually just rolled into the BDSM and Goru stuff.
I don't think I'm physically capable of eating ramen without an egg in it any more, eating it normal style feels weird.
At what point does me posting stuff I worked on months ago, go from me wanting to show you guys what I've done, to me looking desperate for attention? Because I want to stay far away from that line
Personally, I'd say never. Attention whore all you want, we always appreciate good art, and we like to share in the joys and accomplishments of our friends.
In that case, here's a (sort of) animated clip of my brother and I from a podcast we did.
I got an...interesting message on eBay. I think it's because I sold an item at my "Buy it Now" asking price, and this guy was mad he didn't get it, but I'm unsure (and greatly amused at this random message).
"Sir, You are a dick for your actions of sale on this site. In the future as a buyer please refrain from your dickish ways. Thank you"

The first signs of the end of the Google+ social media platform? Quietly and without fanfare, google has stopped requiring new gmail addresses be tied to a G+ account. Hope they divorce youtube from G+ soon as well, then I can get rid of my G+ account.

I'm kinda the opposite. I didn't want my stuff tied to a gmail address I never use. Now it's not.
You know those bullshit 'insurance' companies that are famous for predatory hiring? You get a job as a sales agent, but either have to pay for your training or work on 100% commission of dead leads? I got an email from one of them today. This person was barely literate... So I decided to email them back, excoriating their bad spelling and grammar, and giving them what-for about their unconscionable business behaviour.
Last night, on the bus ride home, I sat next to a girl (high school or university aged) who was brushing up on her English by studying the Gettysberg Address. She was really diligent, too, looking up all the terms on her phone and making detailed notes everywhere.
I, on the other hand, was reading my copy of Dave Barry Does Japan, while chortling happily during the funny bits, because Dave Barry is awesome.
Halfway through the bus ride, she looked at me, looked at my book, looked at me again, put the Gettysberg Address away, and sat curled up on her seat with a demoralized expression on her face.

Current? People been making jokes about how white girls are ga-ga for pumpkin-spiced-anything for years now, usually peaking around each fall.

I've only seen some harmless poking fun at the obsession with seasonal lattes. There are always coffee snobs year round who give people shit for flavored coffees, but the pumpkin spice jokes I've seen are less angry and more playful.

Ebay will pull that listing the instant they get wind of it.

On the other hand, the buyer could wind up having a leg up on the competition.

My boss just came and asked me to make a commercial using "Let it Go" as the background music for a Halloween store client (because they'll have knockoff Frozen-based costumes no doubt). I had to remind him what Copyright is, and how Disney has a great big building full of lawyers whose job it is to murdercrush anybody who does that sort of thing.

I have a hard time believing that someone in his business and his position would miss that detail.

Then let me.
Starbuck's pumpkin spice latte is vile. It tastes like watered down pumpkin pie with a lot of milk and cloves, oh and someone took away the pumpkin. I think people drink it because pop culture dictates this is what they are supposed to do in autumn as opposed to drinking it because it's actually good. I like pumpkin. I like pumpkin pie. I like other goods that contain pumpkin or use pumpkin pie spice (pumpkin pie fudge - omg), including scented candles. Pumpkin spice latte is the epitome of trendy crap. Emphasis on crap.
