No Ponies Required- I Despise You, Internet...
I gotta go to bed... Jeezus.
But in the meantime, I leave a display of my love for the great dying poetic art of communication and that verbal equivalent of a fully prolapsed infected rectum... *prinnies drumroll on their bellies* the internet forum.
*yawns* To put it about as politely as I can manage before sleep-waddling upstairs to bed...
You know what- just read it . That should do. *snerks*
*bows low* G'night...

*plops into her chair* Okay, to be on the up and up, I'll explain-
Before Jen and I got into a relationship together, I was quite a few things, from a exotic dancer to a professional domme and escort. After we got engaged, I realized that it was time to grow up a bit and accept that both lifestyles weren't quite congruous and that trying to hold onto both would result in me losing them both, so, our relationship was more important to me. I tried to delete all of my, shall we say "digital dirty footprints" from here and there... *laughs* and make a clean start, but still, I know some such things are still up. Not all are under the same name, not all are available in the same countries. *cackles* But indeed, if someone wanted to see me in varying degrees of hardcore bondage in... *winces* debatably immoral acts with multiple other person, yep. It could be found, I'm sure.

Opus... *tches* Bloom County was a comic I grew up with as a wee lil' thing and thus, Opus, I miss thee in thy afterlife... *raises coke* To Steve, Cutter, Milo, Binkly, Lola Granola, Oliver Wendell Jones, Portnoy, Hodge Podge, Rosebud, Ronald Anne and every other member of the Meadow Party... *sips*
...fare thee well...
...fare thee well...
Isn't it sad how a tool which has the potential to be a neutral grounds for all cultures of the world to share ideas and grow together as one community *sinks in her chair* generally only gets used for some mid-20's dipshits newest "rant" video?
Oh well. Time for some pizza rolls!
Oh well. Time for some pizza rolls!
And the sad thing being our species has walled itself away from any natural predators, so the dipsticks just keep on getting together to make and raise even more little dipsticks...
Maybe the gods will get tired of us and replace the species with sentient Rubix Cubes or something. *shrugs* Iunno.

When new people try and chat with me, I demand that they keep the net speak to a minimum. I'm courteous enough to cite my distaste for people with eloquence and proper grammar, they can, at the very least, do the same for me. You know what I've learned? When I'm attempting to write fiction, I struggle with my vocabulary and synonyms, but when I'm insulting people I write beautifully with no inhibitions. Wish I could harness that for projects that actually bring me joy.
A lot of memes used to be funny. But now, anything in lolcats text can be regarded as humorous. I think the internet as a whole believes that if everyone lowers their standards at the same time, everybody will find it easier to gain relevance. Similar theory as to the herd mentality that's never been stronger. Now brown people who speak three languages from across the globe can be just as generic as Joey Skinnyjeans of Palm Desert, California. The plus side is that although the digital age pretty much ensures that our history will never be reliably recorded for future generations, it is clear that it's not worth uncovering.

Hmmn... are you certain that bringing the crosshairs of your wit onto a hapless buffoon doesn't bring you a degree of joy, love? Not trying to paint you in a negative light here, just something to note. *scritches her neck* I know for me, I don't generally do commissions for people because I'm not an "artist". I don't make things for others while putting nothing of myself into them. My work's too personal for that. I could do a gift for someone I know well, or maybe even a commission for someone I felt for -one way or the other- but not an absolute stranger. I have to have some emotional investment to work on something, otherwise it's just too lifeless in the final product. I believe this is why your serial killers images look so good. These are characters you enjoy, to a fashion.
Though I'm... at a loss on who Joey Skinnyjeans is, I think I'm on the exact same wavelength love. The internet speak garbage-talk holds all the joy for me of interviewing someone for a job and noticing they have a shirt pocket filled with cat turds. *snofts* It doesn't necessarily tell me they're a complete idiot, but it's a damned fine indicator. The moment I see "LOL" in a text I think just a tiny bit less of the sender... and if the asswit actually says "lawl" in conversation... no, all bets are off. *points* Fucking moron, there.

Well, I have to admit some insults I've come up with over the years are art in and of themselves. Wish you could have seen the argument I got into where the artist's boyfriend called me a pretentious dick for claiming that a painting requires paint.
Joey Skinnyjeans was just my scrawny white boy equivalent of John Doe or Joe Schmo.

Wait... he was arguing with you over the statement that "a painting requires paint"? *chuckles* Wow... *applauds* that's a winner right there. Oh indeed. Throw that one a nice warm place to put his penis so his DNA can spread on to the next generation of halfwits. My oh my, but that one will produce a fine crop of McDonald's employees.
*mulls it over* Joey Skinnyjeans, huh? I think it could work.

*smiles* Thank you, love. Those would be my favorite napping clothes. Well, outside of the tried and true birthday suit.
*blink blink* Really? You've never heard that one? *snofts* Odd. I've encountered that one on way too many forums to recall. It seems generally it's the catch-all passive-aggressive way to "agree to disagree", or at least that's what I've gathered. That and it's also used as a way to be a condescending peckerhead yet hold onto a means of back-peddling if someone should call you on your bullshit. *laughs*

It's always been so sad to me, the double-edged sword that is "freedom of speech". I respect that for a freedom to mean anything it has to be unilateral, I do. But goddamn, the sewage that passes for thought in so many peoples' brains. having such a wonderful freedom *head tilts* or at least the illusion of it, you'd think people would utilize it in a better way than... *fidgets, pointing at her screen* this garbage.
It's akin to having a beautiful spouse at home, doting on you, seeing to your every need and concern and just taking a big 'ol dump on their face.... *grimaces*

While you may be free to speak what you want and on the internet that is especially true. If you have nothing positive or constructive to add just don't add it. Which is something the internet needs to know, filter yourself and your words will be more valuable.
I'm not sure I know the final letter. Can I buy a vowel?

Most memes just get eyerolls from me. I refuse to help someone in any way who uses them while I'm gaming online.
And in re to opinions:
"Everybody has opinions: I have them, you have them. And we are all told from the moment we open our eyes, that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Well, that’s horsepuckey, of course. We are not entitled to our opinions; we are entitled to our informed opinions. Without research, without background, without understanding, it’s nothing. It’s just bibble-babble. It’s like a fart in a wind tunnel, folks." - Harlan Ellison

Nice quote there, love. One other thing I've gotten truly sick of is the whinging entitled notion of "everyone has a right to an opinion which is every bit as important as yours and is beyond reproach" or something to that effect.
I've seen "every opinion is valid" which always gets a good belly-larf from me, "everyone is entitled to their opinion"- the same- and the never-ending shooting star that is "everyone has a right to their opinion" which, though being only a slight re-wording of the "entitled" ego booster *chuckles* is still a noteworthy laugh in it's own right.
Oh children of the internet... *shakes her head, snickering* when will you learn to be Toys'R'Us kids AND grow up?

Sorry, had to look that one up, "Child World". Neat.
As to whingy and The Entitlement bunch, oh yes, that's a big part of why when I deign to go to furcons, I mostly either dance, screw around if I find any worthwhile takers or set up near one of the pricier "artists" and offer free badges. *laughs* Some of the completely uninformed conversations you hear are just hilarious. From "martial arts" to "politics", some of these kids wouldn't know the Treaty of Versailles from the T.P. in their hotel room, but they will go on and on at the campfire like malfunctioning Teddy Ruxpins to the point that I'm either laughing in their face or calling them on their bullshit. *snerks* Either way, it's just amazing that there seems to be this pervading notion that "all opinions are (somehow) correct".

I play on an MMO (Star Wars: The Old Republic).
I'm a subscriber, which means I pay a monthly fee. You can play 'free' with severe restrictions. And a good chunk (not all though) of those that do play 'free' complain oh, so much that they should have this and that thing that they only get by paying. They feel that since they're playing the game they should get it too, even though they didn't earn it.
I've had many a night end in headache due to the massive amounts of eyerolling....

Aaaahhh *nods* the ever-popular "I enjoy this and therefore it should be free" twaddle. *snerks* Always fun- a true modern-day classic. I often wonder if it was their work, which they were doing to pay the bills, by the by- would they feel so inclined to just give away everything they make...? *sets her chin* I kinda doubt it, but... anypoop.
*offers ibuprofen and whiskey* Sorry to hear of the troubles, love.

I despise "l33tspeak" or netspeak, rarely using it myself. In addition, I only use the memes of the internet around my friends, but apart from that, I will rarely use them. I do find some of them quite funny, but I hate to see it overused, which turns it from funny to mind numbing annoying.
I prefer expression through words at times. But sometimes, I find that, due to the lack of tone, body and facial language, it is hard to convey certain emotions. Of course, there is the fault of some of the people on the Internet just being bloody stupid and the whole respect goes out the window because "Dis iz teh inteweb so sp3lling dun't mater" (Oh... That hurt to type).
Or maybe because I'm writing stories for someone that I find myself more annoyed by the lack of punctuation, spelling, capitals and correct use of the words.

*huffs* It has long bothered me to see people bitching and complaining about "grammar nazis" on the internet. Villifying someone for expecting persons to uphold the rules of their own fucking language that one would expect of a 2nd grade imbecile eludes me, though it does alert me to the level of nitwit I'm dealing with. *snickers*
That being said, I agree. In particular, love -"due to the lack of tone, body and facial language, it is hard to convey certain emotions. Of course, there is the fault of some of the people on the Internet just being bloody stupid and the whole respect goes out the window because "Dis iz teh inteweb so sp3lling dun't mater" (Oh...

And in thinking I understand that the quality and conciseness of my thoughts can only be as good as the quality of the language I use to express them. Completely lacking tone of voice and body language, spelling and clear word choice matter more on the internet than they do in a face-to-face conversation.
The internet, unfortunately, is a happy hunting ground of jolly do-littles with no understanding of this principle.

If I were still in high school, I would have preferred to follow memes instead of dabbling in political discussions. I forced my extremist views up the asses of everyone I could find in the virtual and physical realms. It's not good when I need two hands to count out the number of death threats I've received. Plus, I'm so surprised my parents put up with all of that. That takes diamond balls.
Ugh... How to state this without sounding too old or pretentious.... *shrugs* Aw, fuck it. *laughs*
I've always been a bit too much an iconoclast to care for social trends. When I was in high school I was one of those few who seemed to realize that at the most I'd know maybe one or three of these classmates after graduation, so suffocating my opinions or aspects of what I felt was right was about the most foolish thing I could do. No point to it. *snofts* This is an aspect of my social interactions that has followed me into adulthood. Following trends and patterns of order (looking at you assholes, 'bronies') has always frankly disgusted me. "Internet kidz-club speak" as I refer to it, is roughly the same. When I see people using these bits of verbage it really indicates to me a lack of personality -and more importantly- character.
Por ejemplo-
Referring to anything that is not a world-spanning or generation-spanning adventure involving struggle, hardship or challenge as ...*groans* "epic"... tends to get you a permanent black-flag in the base of my skull as a jackwit. The Iliad was an epic journey. The space program was an epic feat of science. A new flavor of Captain Crunch is just a fucking cereal... tasty though it may be, it's not "epic".

Gods know there needs to be one. So many of the complaints I've received begin with some portion of this verbage and my initial thought is "Jeezus, I don't speak retard, kid..." but, I struggle through reading it anypoop. The worst of it though *growls, big eyes* the WORST of it is when the dumb little bastards actually speak this way in face to face conversation....
It's appalling the lack of constructive thought and clarity of self this shows... *sighs*
