Confirmation E-mail

noun - Describes any annoying e-mail that includes a "confirmation link" which most online companies or organizations will send to you if you wish to subscribe for their membership services. It will usually cause a new internet browser window to open after clicking the link included in the e-mail. In extreme (but humorous) cases, this could cause slow system response if the computer has too many applications running, or if the person has searched for excessive amounts of porn with their computer.

Person: Yay I subscribed for ultimate porn

Oh I have a confirmation e-mail. How annoying.

*clicks link*

OH NOES! IT OPENED A NEW WINDOW! D:

*Computer crashes* (Due to excess porn or outdated hardware)

T_T I hate it when a new window opens unexpectedly

confirmation bientist

A person who thinks they are good at optimizing their electronics, computers and other equipment, but suffer severely from confirmation bias. Bientists "buy into" ridiculous, half-baked and often overkill solutions usually out of a combination of impatience and arrogance. Rather than doing any verifiable research or empirical experimentation, they base their techniques on correlations, isolated incidents and things they read once on a forum, usually posted by other bientists. If a confirmation bientists finds another confirmation bientist with the same ideas, their ignorance is locked in for life. See also: bientist.

Any confirmation bientist will tell you that disabling all the services in Microsoft Windows and turning off automatic updates will make everything run better and faster with minimal internet lag.

red square of affirmation

While on facebook, the red square signals that someone responded to your post in some fashion.

For fanatic fb'ers, it is a wait-and-see hunger and satiety experience.

After I posted the concert photos, I got 6 red squares of affirmation.

I could see the red square of affirmation from across the room. It made me very happy.
