Zimbio 'quizzes'
-
So I was on Facebook and bored and did one of those 'hilarious' quizzes on Zimbio to identify which character I was from Shrek. I've done a few before when bored, and usually they're reasonably accurate.
Today's though... not so much.
Apparently of all the Shrek characters, I'm Donkey.
"You're an upbeat ray of blinding sunshine, an impossible-to-ignore optimist with big dreams and an even bigger mouth. While your brand of cheery, zany humor can distract from your big heart, your friends and family know you'd give your all for them - often without expecting anything in return."
wut?

So now you're coming out of closet. Optimism has no hope in the serious programmer's mind. I am sorry to inform this to you. On bright side, you can be the non-serious programmer ™
-
That's just it... anyone who's seen my posting around here should know that I'm really not an optimist.

Then you lied on quiz afraid of confronting your true fear.

Did anyone else read the title as Zombo 'quizzes' and wonder when zombocom started requiring input from its users?
-
I thought that when writing it but then I remembered I'd seen it mentioned repeatedly in certain peoples' 'filed under' but never actually been there.

Maybe you're only bitter because you never found... luuv.
Maybe you're just waiting for that one special boy to find the key to your heart and reveal the mellow gentle soul inside.

Yeah, I used to be like that, the first 7 years or so of the 10 years I was with someone were awesome, then it sort of went quite wrong.
I won't deny that a fair amount of bitterness is front to keep people away.

It gets easier when you convert that bitterness to cynical humor.

I'm trying. I'm just not that funny

They should publish site statistics, to see just how long people sit there waiting for something to happen.

I claim the copyright to that idea.

Well, you're roaming TDWTF. Pretty much the same thing.

Filed under: My post falls under Fair Use.
As does mine; quoting for the purpose of criticism is legitimate Fair Use. Arguably, mine is even Fairer Use than yours, under the "substantiality" test, as I quoted selectively from @Maciejasjmj's post, but you quoted all of my original text, excluding only requoting the first part of what I quoted from @Maciejasjmj.

identify which character I was from Shrek
Quoted relevant section,
Of the characters in 'Shrek', you are closest to 'Donkey'
I think I agree.

There is no such thing legally as Fairer Use, and regardless you also quoted the entirety of his reply (excluding only tags, which were only footnotes). Irregardless*, the purpose of my disclaimer was to call attention to the hypocrisy of my post in a humorous manner.

If I can't sue you for copyrights, I'll sue you for libel, then.

Nominations for pedantic dickweedary awards?

That's the joke, son.

Pedantic dickweed rant in response to troll.
@error said:call attention to the hypocrisy of my post in a humorous manner
Yes, but I think we've about exhausted the humor here. Time to move on.
