Why so serious? Life is more fun when you don't sit around masturbating your entitlement to be mad at the world. Waste of thought, imho. Boring people by giving them a link is a hell of a lot better use of time than boring people with prissy whining about how lame it is.

[Dipstikk]

Why so serious?

Nice. When in doubt, rip off a movie.

What's so hard to understand? I can't stand people who waste their lives online only to ruin the lives of other people for unjustifiable reasons. I can't stand the unoriginality of the jokes and memes, the absolute resistance to showing anyone else human dignity, and the aversion to actually giving a shit about anything beyond cheap egotistical self-gratification.

If you're still having trouble grasping our position, re-read the replies in this thread that were posted before you showed up. We've all done a fine job defining what it is about the culture of anonychan that irritates us. If you still can't understand why people who enforce apathy and encourage bigotry and sociopathy might annoy other people who actually, you know, give a shit about the world they live in and aren't fucked-up man-children who have no real worth to society beyond annoying people online, perhaps you should consult a psychologist.

Life is more fun when you don't sit around masturbating your entitlement to be mad at the world.

So rather than having a life, being an active element AND being concerned about the world EVERY-FUCKING-BODY ELSE, plus me, lives in, and embracing the normal range of human emotions required to socialize with people, I should instead forsake everything about me that makes me an eccentric-but-still-sociable human being and dive head first into a life of total apathy, pettiness, cruelty and self-gratification?

Because you're implying that my way of life is somehow flawed and that your antisocial 4channery is somehow better, and that I should embrace it.

And you find this to be a sensible solution to whatever it is you believe is wrong with me?

So fucking stupid. I'm happy with my life. I may get "mad at the world," but at least I own up to it, rather than being forced to repress it at the off-chance that some 12 year old zit factory might obnoxiously ask me if "I mad."

Now spout some predictable 4chan meme in response. Maybe something like, "tl;dr." Prove my point.

i know a better use of your time. not posting.

And what is this?

i thought we were swingers?

[Dipstikk]

i thought we were swingers?

LOVE TRIANGLE!

Okay, I'll be the damsel in distress. OH DON'T FIGHT OVER ME BOYS. THERE'S ENOUGH TO GO AROUND.

[STM]

A misconception in the marriage?

[Majic]

Prove my point.

But you already proved mine, bro. I'll reprove yours as much as you like, but redundancy is overrated. We would make for fantastic friends in the offline world, I hope you realize. Jiggle that thought around for a while

Get creative with your wordplay, or take your textualized tears elsewhere. I like Dipstikk because he at least takes the time to elucidate why he's mad, and quite well at that, but you just go around blabbering about I-don't-even-know-what as if you've somehow transcended the triviality. WWJD?

I liked Begins more.

I'd say I enjoyed the body of both films about equal, but both had absolutely Matrix-level wretched endings.

[Wings of Fire]

I don't like your posts.

[Ridg3]

ED's back up and it has a prettier user interface.

And by prettier I mean and nice new 'of the now' screen and no more of those bastard ridden gif ads. Oh, it has a nice new logo as well.

[Daxter King]

Everyone just needs to calm down and be nice, lest we succumb to the level of neck bearded 4channers.

[STM]

Leave my neck beard out of this.

[Majic]

I don't like your posts.

So? I don't care that you no like. That makes us even.

Everyone just needs to calm down and be nice, lest we succumb to the level of neck bearded 4channers.

It's so easy, but they just don't understand

Would you all believe me if I said I don't actually go onto 4chan? In all honesty, I'm just an average, boring, everyday Facebook troll. I love being the recipient of misdirected anger and everything, but I can't take credit where it's not due.

[Dixanadu]

If I troll on Facebook, my dad yells at me.

[Daxter King]

You should just tell him "U mad"

[Majic]

You should just tell him "U mad"

^ Wise words of wisdom.

[Dixanadu]

He will most likely killdoze me.

[STM]

I bet you have sooo many friends on FB Dixanadu, if your dad punishes you for 'trolling' facebook.

[Dixanadu]

By friends you mean, people I've associated with and happen to be on my list of contacts on Facebook?

[Wings of Fire]

So?.

It's a mark of disdain. I disdain you.

You're not supposed to ask 'So?', you're supposed to accept it as constructive criticism and try making more coherent less stupid posts. Or become a funnier troll, either/or.

[STM]

So none then.

-sigh-

But I'm intentionally being stupid and incoherent. Considering the inevitability of miscommunication, I prefer to at least intentionally craft it on my end. I get the gist of how I'm pissing you off, and I do apologize for my jadedness. As someone who understands the recent loss of a loved one on the human psyche, would you like to know the emotionally open, non-troll half of my personality?

[Wings of Fire]

Creeper.

[Majic]

So is that a yes or a no? In all honesty, it might help to clear things up a bit. I'll probably end up sending you a pm regardless.

[Wings of Fire]

This is... awkward.

I don't dislike you, just... be a funnier troll. It makes arguments you're in easier to read.

[Dipstikk]

As long as they keep the 4channery and the memes to a minimum around me, I could get along with anyone.

It doesn't matter if you're "one of them" or not- you employ their stupidity to annoy people, and that's fucking childish and makes you look like an idiot. You're not a goddamn idiot, Majic. Come up with your own jokes, your own comebacks, your own arguments and your own fucking thoughts, rather than regurgitating what a collective of internet nobodies has used trillions of times before you. Be genuine, don't hide behind the fucking mask lobbing mudkips and lolcats at people. In other words, do the exact opposite of what you've been doing.

would you like to know the emotionally open, non-troll half of my personality?

My god, could you? That's still possible, right? And while you're at it, could you quit with this fucking "lulzy mad mudkips" bullshit? Because that would be fantastic.

Talking to someone who's being honest and genuine, who's not just trying to annoy you... that would be a fucking dream come true.

[Nate]

Dipstikk, you've got to be kidding me. 99% of your posts are nothing but Robotnik and then you complain about memery, idiodicy and intentional annoyances?!

[Majic]

Verbatim PM I sent to WoF:

Zenia Magana, June 1 '91 - May 27 '10, texting while driving; ex girlfriend's bff
Amber Budnik, November 1, '91 - December 11 '10, heorin/xanax OD; ex girlfriend
Nicole Pyron, January 28 '90 - March 11, '11, picked up by some crackhead at a bar and murdered in a hotel room; platonic friend
James Welch, ?? - March 18, '11, heroin OD; one of my brother's long time friends

I'd taken the spring semester prior to Zenia's death off from school due to dwindling grades, but then re-enrolled and changed my major from English to rehabilitation studies to give myself some sort of vague purpose again. Then the Friday before finals of my first semester studying the art of helping people, the emotional counterpart from my last romantic relationship (~two years ago) died from the exact thing I've been going to school to for (I have an immense interest in disability advocacy and legislation reform, courtesy of incompetent government and baseless social stigmas). Nicole and James died on the first and second Friday of my Spring Break, respectively. I feel awful for having skipped Nicole's birthday party in January while I was still emotionally wrecked after December. In the meantime, my bestfriend of 8 years broke up with his highschool sweetheart/my other bestfriend two months ago. Their daughter was born only a month ago, and now he's moving solo halfway across the country next Wednesday on some misguided soul-searching venture. What sucks the most is that nothing I say will tempt him to stay here in the backwards ass Bible Belt of America, and I'm entirely at a loss to understand his willingness to forsake his newborn child. On the bright side, I was at least recently able to help get a manic depressive 19 year old laddy (who's estranged from his family) comfortably re-situated in Colorado after an unsuccessful suicide attempt last summer (and 8 months of unemployment while living on my friends' couches). Dealing with the death of others after two years of rampant personal drug abuse has been an absolute mindfuck, especially in the context of my recent self-aware foray into accumulating knowledge about the autism spectrum and its related implications. Admittedly, I've lost quite a bit of my former embrace of whimsy...

I feel a bit bad forcing such a wall of awkward text on you, but it feels nice on my part to get it out, and I'm sure you can make something productive of it as well. The only person I've been intentionally trying to piss off is MA and his perpetually excessive ragefest (you and Dipstikk are too sane and well-spoken for me to allocate any of my wild contempt for the world at large). Trust me, I come off as a lot less of a dick in person as a verbally awkward adolescent male who meticulously tries to avoid eye contact. Hopefully you can at least find some hilarity in my ironic and unavoidable appearance as some sort of super serious pseudo-troll.

Cheers, mate.
Forward Message

That was about as concisely as I could phrase it.

The three drug-related deaths were all individuals that I knew had substance troubles of their own, but abstained from any semblance of intervention because I was so preoccupied with the dynamics of my own recovery. For what it's worth, I also forgot to mention that my childhood bff with Chronic Kidney Disease (yet another oft-terminal condition I've become very familiarized with in school) has been off at college in Arkansas, and is due for end stage renal failure any year now. To deal with all that baggage, I've taken an interest in throwing out my unquenchable pissed-offitude for the benefit of on campus activist organizations, which has been a surprisingly enjoyable experience (not to mention helped facilitate friendship with other folks as weird and angry about things as I am). Needless to say, I've been rather emotionally preoccupied for some time now.

Moral of the story: playing the role of a jackass feels a hell of a lot easier than attempting to convey a tumultuous year of epic fail. The last remnants of my old social circle have dissolved, and my scholastic goals are still stuck in limbo until I have a nice shiny diagnosis of some sort of another come late May (and save the pervasive trouble of trying to contest that my introspective suspicions aren't without some damn strong merit).

How's that for some honesty?
