Muttering and grumbling

“The only way to comprehend what mathematicians mean by Infinity is to contemplate the extent of human stupidity.”

 - Voltaire


I'm easily irritated by lack of intelligence and common sense. More so than usual these days, thanks to this no smoking crap. Wandering about the intertubes, I see so much stupidity and I can't bear it, and I want to snark the shit out of it, preferably in a community of some sort, but I left stupid_free and sf_drama because I couldn't stand one more minute of the intensely annoying US-centrism.

mock_the_stupid is simply out of the question. It's got opalcat, for crying out loud. There's more stupidity among the members than in what they mock.

In other words, I'm sorely tempted to set up a non-US-centric community for the pointing and laughing at stupid fuckwits.

By the by, as far as I can tell, it seems almost safe to pay for LJ again. The Russians haven't done anything that's annoyed me in quite a while. And I so miss my icons and my edit option.

I like in-jokes.

Popularity contests, not so much. Wtf, when someone is being a massive pain in the arse I'm not supposed to call them on it because they're considered kewl, since they have this totally awesome icon or something? Yeah, that makes sense...

It's just that a stunning amount of Americans, the rabid childfree included, have got into their heads that sprog is derogatory. There are also many good eggs who know it's not, but in so many childfree wanks someone has to explain to some halfwit that no, it's not derogatory, shut up now please.

"Good eggs"? Madam, you read too much Wodehouse. ^^

I think sf_drama has become its own drama and wank factory. About a year ago, when I first joined, there were quite a few good posts, but the place has really degenerated. Ah well, sic transit gloria mundi and so forth.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn I want coffee. /random outburst.

*brief pause*

Hell, I think I'm going to have coffee. BRB, corrupting my nervous system. How's the fag free existence going lately, btw?

Actually, I know quite a few young USian whippersnappers who use the term "good egg"...

I note that the username Snarkenfreude isn't taken. Hmm. Hmmmm. Ya think the German touch will scare teh Americuhns?

Enjoy your poison! I'm so so with mine. Had a few last week, and I've smoked today. In my defense, I'm very upset today since I've broken a tooth. V. traumatic.

Really? Good heavens. In that case, they read too much Wodehouse, too. Or something. ^^

Snarkenfreude sounds like a brilliant comm name. Go for it!

Nom nom coffee. Nom nom nom. But yeeeep, you've broken a tooth? My sympathies, I know exactly what that feels like. How much of the tooth? Does it hurt? And when are you seeing a dentist?

[lectrix-lecti.livejournal.com]

But I'm rubbish at pimping comms. It'd be just me. And maybe you.

It doesn't hurt at all, and I'm seeing my dentist tomorrow.

[lynkemma.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm there now. :-)

Good luck with your tooth.
