Domo Backpack ate my head....
Crazy adventures in this world we call, GAIA.
Random. Does Anyone Read Anymore?
WALL OF TEXT RANT! So...I've been getting a lot of request to be friends lately. stare The majority of it being; Can I friend you because you have an angelic halo? *Arwen hits the decline button* And they get annoyed at me for doing that...seriously you have no right to be annoyed at me. crying

Oh, oh! On my profile you see in the center "FIGHTER DATA" and below it information about myself, what realm/server I play for certain MMO, and where I hang out on Gaia Online. Everything is listed there but some people fail to see it. I mean, you even friend me and ask; "I see that you play WoW. What realm do you play?" It's smack in the middle below my ugly mug shot. Plus, you saw that I play WoW but fail to see what realm I play? OH MY GOODNESS!! You have failed your elementrary, middle, and high school teachers...maybe even your college professors if you have gone to a university.

My goodness, people...please I beg of you learn to read. You use the internet and you have thousand among thousands of information beneath your finger tips. Some third world country don't even have the luxury of learning to read or have a computer. Honestly, some people take advantage of what is given to them. Learn to use your knowledge, learn to read. Isn't that why you went to school? (If you didn't go to school...you can still read...so you can't say you didn't go to school.)

It is so depressing sometimes to see that half of Gaia don't read. Not even the announcements, stickies, or a thread. Skim through it...*sigh*

Oh...since I'm on the topic of "reading."

An article on the New York Times: G.M. Loses $9.6 Billion as Its Struggles Continue Excerpt from the article:
Quote:
Mr. Obama, in his address to Congress on Tuesday, expressed a commitment to the auto industry, saying that “millions of jobs depend on it” and that the country “cannot walk away from it.” But he and his task force have not indicated whether they would favor giving the companies more money.

I have very mix feelings about this. One; I want the Government to help the auto industry to save the jobs of those working there. Two; The auto industry will ask for more later down the road.



3nodding And with that I give you today's Dictionary.com word of the day! My favorite website, before Gaia, LOL.
declaim di-KLEYM, verb:
to orate; to speak in a loud and emotional manner

-Hugs- It never fails, I've noticed most of the Userbase lately, for a lack of a better word, getting dumber later gonk It makes no sense. Perhaps it's just the newer Users? Still no excuse though, taking the time to read isn't that hard to do (And I'm about to be the biggest hypocrite in a minute). It's happening everywhere on Gaia, all Forums get spammed because people don't read the rules or they just don't care they're posting in the wrong place stressed

As for the GM issue: I haven't read much on it but what's keeping them from merging with another company? It's what a lot of companies do in situations like this.

LOL!

Anyways, GM merging...they are avoiding that. How many American car makers do we have?

Your wall of text rants are not so long! xp I expected a novel!

You also should include a TL;DR!

I haven't gotten too many friends requests. Maybe I need to wear more rare items?!?! I should look into that. jk XD

Yeah and GM's stock has plummeted...which sucks because my dad bought stock in it when it was only $3.26 a share (something like that).Today it's $2.44. ugh

And you pretty much summed up everyone's worry about giving these companies and businesses more money. 3nodding AIG took a beating too -- a bigger beating than GM...but let's not talk about depressing news anymore! XD

Declaim is a good word! I'll have to use it some time. Whenever I log onto igoogle I have the word of the day too which is:


Quote:
fervid (adjective) Marked by great passion or zeal.



But my favorites are my quotes for the day. They're pretty funny!

--
Edit: They're probably avoiding merging because the other companies that have been bought out or merged are bringing their buyer down. (Ex: Bank of America bought out Countrywide and Meryll Lynch and they are going down too (mostly because of Lynch). JPMorgan isn't doing so well after it bought Wamu and now they're cutting 12k jobs from Wamu.) Merging is becoming a mess.

AIG is too big of a company, imo, and the govt may split it three ways. I say...good. This is exactly what I was waiting for.

We have 3 big auto comapnies based in America: Chrysler, GM and Ford. Ford is the only one not taking bailout money from my understanding.

Well, dont worry there's always the Decline button to save the world.

with the new way they're advertising for gaia they attract alot of new people who might be fairly new to "internet" or at least the communities there.. those who have been on before are mostly youngsters at forums for a special game they play trying to "find" answers for their question about were a possible part of a quest is..
they new people just really lack manners.. if they're not a mule for an old account >_<

and personally I don't see that text as a "wall of text".
I'm used to at least double after all time at discussions forum at another place O_o

*hugs Arwen* I know the feeling... people will never read. The pricelist for all the photo stuff at the Walgreens I'm working in, is right behind the counter, yet people will never fail to ask... how much stuff is. And even worse, they come up to the register, and ask how much an item is, and it's right on the box. XD In BOLD.

The same (and moreso) applies to Gaia. Like Darrien said, Gaians are getting dumber. sweatdrop

I'm not commenting on the GM and the "Big Three" deal. I know that's going to end badly, unless they change their business practices, or even forge together something to work together on this... but that also depends on the state of the American economy as far as generating new revenue from a set of companies that now have cruddy expectations from people who may (and now may not) buy from them.

Would YOU buy a car from a company that you heard is about to go dead in the water? >.>; Yeah, that's kinda the deal here.

By the way: *GLOMPS* ^_^ Miss ya!
