People are stupid, not quite news but a small rant.
12 years ago
I was on Facebook, which should already preclude any hopes I have of seeing anything intelligent, but I'm in an optimistic mood, so what the hell. You know what the fuck I'm seeing everywhere, that's spreading like the plague? People using hash-tags. "So what? Big fucking deal, why're you so irritated about it?" You know why?! I'll tell you the fuck why. It means one of three things.
1) The person is lazy and copy-pasting between social networking sites. Seriously? Can't take the 15 fucking seconds it takes to remember what you just fucking typed in Twitter or Instagram or some stupid ass "here is every waking moment of my life" website and translate it into something more intelligible? I know it's only Facebook, but there is no max character count. Use your big boy works and take out "#YOLO #SWAG #crazycatlady #whitebitchproblems #imstillfive" (all of those were actually on the first status updates i saw on Facebook) to be a bit more......not a fucking retard. Shit.
2) The person is dumb enough to believe that using hash-tags makes you look cool. The reason hash-tags are used on Instagram and Twitter is because it groups things together. They serve a purpose. A tangible, legitimate purpose. People don't use them on a usually failed attempt at wit or to be cool. And if you use hash-tags in everything, please, get the fuck off the internet.
3) The person is dumb enough to believe that hash-tags work everywhere. Don't really need to elaborate on this one. Kinda self explanatory.
Anyways. That's the bulk of my ranting for now. Be cool, eat your vegetables, and don't be a fucking 'tard (meaning spell check, use your big boy words, and NO FUCKING HASH TAGS. FUCK.). See y'all at PS, unless I see you at the Brony meet in Mission Valley (March 9th if you're wondering :3). Who is going to that
anyways? I digress.

Not to sound like a grammar Nazi, but I share your feelings of disappointment for people who are lazy in their typing. No proper spelling, punctuation, etc. It really shows a lack of intelligence on their part. It's like talking to a child. In contrast, people who take the time and effort to use correct typing, I hold them in great respect and appreciation for not half-assing.

While it would be pretty stupid of someone to expect hashtags to work on FB or to copypaste, I fail to see how this affects you personally. Just let people do their thing, man. If someone feels like using hashtags, they have every right to, until FB makes a rule saying "no hashtags". People don't use them on Twitter to group things together or index their tweets anymore anyway. They use them to be witty.

Oh it doesnt affect me at all. Just irritates the hell out of me. It's the little things. Using "u" instead of "you" or "TyPiNg LiKe ThIs" or "Spelling liek dis, u kno." Hash-tag abuse is the same thing. It starts as an internet trend, then tumbles into everyday life, and so another few stones get thrown into the rock slide of the rapidly devolving English language, which has caused "Yolo" and "Swag" to be commonly accepted as words that are socially acceptable to use.

I hate the word yolo, and when ppl typ like dis Or LiKe ThIs Or Like This. I don't care much about the word swag, but I never use it.
