You gotta love the irony of a guy who laments spending so much time on the internet -- by spending time on the internet blogging about it.
(And I'm allowed to pick at lion, because I do the same thing)
- frou_dh 16y agoBlah. This type of zinger (usually directed at 'complaining about complaining about') never works because the target is always clearly framed as a 'meta' point.
- zackattack 16y ago"the target is always clearly framed as a 'meta' point." Can you unpack this statement? What's a 'meta' point? And why is it not an effective zinger?
- duck 16y agoHow do you know he spent anytime on the internet while writing this article?
- wccrawford 16y agoIf you're doing something that's only purpose is to be posted on the internet, it's the same as being on the internet. Even if the cable is unplugged, you're still doing internet things. That's a lot of the problem here. He's trying to stop something too broad. Instead, he should be picking the things he DOES on the internet that are stealing his time. Reading Digg/Reddit/StumbleUpon/Facebook for instance. Limit or quit those things. The internet isn't the problem any more than 'being outside' is the problem for laying on the beach too much.
