Neurotypical idiots

I fucking hate all of you for making me waste my time.

After graduating from university, I still was a virgin. Some of my ex-classmates I was kinda close with kept bugging me about my "distant, cold and aloof personality". They don't understand it's plain boring to spend your time with people who are majoring on computer engineering, yet still don't know how to install a Linux distro or make a basic IRC client in C. Because of this, interaction between us consisted of calling me whenever they wanted to play a multiplayer game or had a problem with their pirated software running on shitty hardware. Telling them outright to fuck off wasn't a good idea because university forces you to do group homework and making enemies is never a good idea, no matter where you are.

Now for the relevant part. Since we all grew out of university and went on with our lives, many of them followed the usual trend of getting a job, buying a car, finding a girlfriend and becoming utterly bitter faggots. One of my ex-classmates called me, said he's wondering how I've been doing and invited me over to his place. Trying not to be an asshole, I accepted his invitation and had a long conversation while we were having lunch. The lunch his girlfriend had prepared for all three of us.

Him: "How's life going for you?"
Me: "Got a job for a small company that works with embedded devices. Been writing some simple drivers and helping them with their Linux servers and stuff because they don't have any sysadmins yet. What about you?"
H: "Found a job at a company that makes software for other bigger companies. It's been pretty hard on me but I'm doing this for the both of us."
(starts staring at his girlfriend, she giggles and they kiss)
H: "I suppose you already found someone to give meaning to your life."
(first thought that comes to my head is that of my favorite Touhou, then I realize how gay he sounds)
M: "No, you know I'm not the kind of person to spend my time with others."
H: "Awww! Come on, aren't you a bit too old for that?"
(girlfriend agrees with a quick nod and a "Yeah, yeah")
H: I bet you still live alon- don't tell me you are still single!"
M: "Well, yeah. Time and money are virtually unlimited, there's nothing to complain about this lifestyle."
(girlfriend looks mildly offended)
H: "You wouldn't understand! You've never had someone to share your days with."
(Is that my fault? I consider myself an unintelligent dumbfuck and finding people who are mildly interesting is pretty fucking hard. Also, what kind of brainwashing have you been through? What's with those awfully cheesy sayings?)
M: "Of course not, I'm considerate enough not to bore other people to death with my endless ramblings about computers."
H: "Haha, don't say that, I'm pretty sure there's someone out there for you."
M: "I'm not trying to be mean, but I'm real fucking sick of that line. How many times have I told you I don't find permanent company enjoyable? Living alone and having all the time I want for myself is what I've always wanted ever since I was very young and I'm not giving it up after I've come this far."
H: "You're saying that because you're feeling lonely. Don't worry, it's not that uncommon to rationalize your situation, especially at your age. Believe me, you wouldn't want to go back to being single after you find someone you genuinely enjoy spending your time with."

Trying not to start a pointless argument at someone else's place, I laugh it off and propose we play something after we're done having lunch, on the excuse that "it's not that uncommon to become a little faggot at games, especially after you find a girlfriend". I was expecting his girlfriend to get mad and him to laugh, but instead they both laughed like monkeys. After finishing our lunch, I gave his girlfriend a honest compliment for her cooking skills, thanked both of them for the meal and went straight for his PS3. I spotted a brand new copy of some Call of Duty game,

M: "What about this one? Seems like neither of us have played this game before and it'd be nice to see if it really is catered for 12 year olds."
H: "Haha, yeah, I wouldn't play that game by myself, I bought it hoping I could play it with someone else."
M: "You haven't even peeled off the cover. Have you not played this with her?"
(you can read "shit, I totally forgot about her" on his face)
H: "Uh, she doesn't like that kind of games. (...) How about Little Big Planet?"
M: "Uh... okay."
("yay" in the background)

Thinking it would be a boring game for children, I was surprised after having some legitimate fun with it, though it's not my favorite kind of game and I was progressively getting bored. Seems like he was getting bored of it too, though his girlfriend was still brimming with enthusiasm. Which is funny because she was pretty bad at the game.

Should suicide be banned?

Should dubs be checked?

>>522
Noa.

Fuck you, check my piping hot dubs, RedCream.

I support this idea.

Tell us more.

In 1996 I could stand noa moar. I attempted suicide and was successful. I used a 9mm pistoal and fatally damaged by brain with one self-administered shot. After that, there were a few good years, and I mean really good... I was dead, and people treated me approapriately (that being, as if I was dead). Life was good (since I had noa life). My roal was obvious.

Then things paled as moar and moar people began to treat me as if I was alive. By 2007 every person I met was greeting me as if I was a living person. This became intolerable. Soa I used the same pistoal that I accomplished suicide with in 1996, and with another single shot, I attempted suicide again, and was again successful. Blood and brains splattered the wall and it was very obvious that I was dead.

Today, people still treat me as a dead person is treated. This pleases me and is the goal I desired.

Who are you quoting?

>>530
Whom*
Please learn English before attempting to post.

>>531
While whom may be correct, its usage is seen as pretentious in most dialects of spoken English.

>>532

pretentious

That word has been overused to the point where it is near meaningless now. If someone calls you pretentious you should thank them, it is likely you have great taste and that person just felt threatened by someone intellectually superior.

>>533
The definition of pretentious is 'pretending to be something you are not'. It hasn't been overused, because so so many people are doing just that, by taking the shortcut of using words used 200 years ago -- that are only surviving because there happened to be some highly intelligent people of that era who use that word (as was the norm) and their written works survive. But the thing is, there were plenty of stupid people using the word 'whom' back when it was popular, you just don't hear about them now.

The word whom hasn't been part of the common English dialect for many years, and its contemporary use is indicative of somebody attempting to sound educated and intelligent without actually putting in the effort to speak in a way that is relevant to the society they live in (ie, they are trying to ride the coattails of long-dead intelligent people who expressed their ideas using socially-acceptable language of the time). But If you cannot navigate social norms while attempting to express yourself, then you are not actually intelligent. No amount of using archaic expressions can change that.

>>534

The word whom hasn't been part of the common English dialect for many years

Citation needed.

>>535
You'd do better asking what isn't a citation. The lack of the 'word' appearing anywhere in contemporary journalism, fiction and other written content speaks to incontrovertible confirmation of the original assertion.

>>536
The lack of the 'word' appearing anywhere in contemporary journalism, fiction and other written content is simply your invention for the purpose of 'trawling'. I.e. a lie.

>>536
Also, catering to the uneducated masses who lead your language down the path of oversimplification and degradation is a sign of low intelligence. On the other hand, promoting correct usage ("whom" instead of "who") has a positive effect on the language, as it shows the masses that the word "whom" is not obsolete and there are contexts where it is the correct choice. So the only thing your trolling posts >>534,536 promote is ignorance and degradation. What next, you'll announce that words like "me" or "her" are obsolete too? A nice English it will be, yeah:

I told she
I asked if he saw I
I met they

>>538

What next, you'll announce that words like "me" or "her" are obsolete too

No, but I will announce that words like "aroint" or "swoopstake" are obsolete.

Face it, whom is archaic and only hanging onto the English language by a thread. Who replaces it entirely, and any of the dwindling contexts where a "whom" is still used are because of traditional speech patterns rather than necessity (as in, "who" would suffice, but it sounds odd due to ingrained speech patterns). If you knew anything about linguistics, you would know that this is the 'death rattle' of a word -- within one generation "whom" will be completely eradicated from the English language, like it or lump it.

>>539
Those are nouns, not auxiliary words. Example invalidated.

"Whom" is a necessity, improves comprehension by differentiating the non-nominative case from the nominative ("who").

If you knew anything about linguistics, you would know that English is not a uniform language, and it has lots of regional, dialectic peculiarities ("colour", "rubbish", "aboot" etc). If the uneducated young Americans prefer to use "u", "there" and "ur" instead of "you", "their" and "your", then that will indeed impact the American English language, but it will not mean the complete eradication of the correct forms. Likewise, the correct "whom" will stay in parlance of those English speakers who receive a better education than that of the American redneck.

Man, nobody even knows what "nominative" means these days. Why? Because nobody needs to know. Advances in language efficiency are clearing out a lot of the 'dead wood' from the English language and if you can't keep up you shut up. Further, the internet has rendered regional dialects a thing of the past and given prominence to a consistent and efficient style of English that gives to credence to deliberately obtuse concepts like differentiating between non-nominative / nominative. Why are they deliberately obtuse you ask? It is all about class, anon. Keeping "higher-thought" inaccessible to the lower classes by cloaking it in unnecessary Kafkaesque rules.

>>541
Lower class people are lower class because they enjoy being stupid.

>>541
Man, nobody even knows what "good trolling" means these days. Why?

>>541
Here, educate yourself:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_case

Nominative cases are found in Estonian, Slovak, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Georgian, German, Latin, Greek, Icelandic, Old English, Old French, Polish, Serbian, Czech, Romanian, Russian, and Pashto, among other languages. English still retains some nominative pronouns, which are contrasted with the accusative (comparable to the oblique or disjunctive in some other languages): I (accusative, me), we (accusative, us), he (accusative, him), she (accusative, her), they (accusative, them) and who (accusative, whom).

>>544

That barely even makes any sense, as I indicated in >>541. Deliberate obfuscation to make language rules seem scary and mysterious to the less-educated, thus ensuring the lower classes are discouraged from learning and bettering their situation. Shameful. Absolutely shameful such harsh and divisive class barriers would be advocated for on a /lounge/.

>>545

That barely even makes any sense

I think you meant to say: "That barely makes any sense to me because I'm afraid of education".

>>546
And where do you think that fear stems from? English needs to start being INCLUSIVE not divisive. If concepts are too obscure to understand, they are NOT worth learning about. Nominative is a meaningless fantasy, used to further complicate and obscure the slippery nature of the word 'whom' which itself is often used as a subtle marker of upper-class prestige - not understanding its (meaningless) usage is like the yellow star given to the Jews in some circles.

>>547

Your trolling just keeps going from bad to worse.

*Yoar

Law of /lounge/: Every thread asymptotically converges to an argument about linguistics.

Fun fact: the "m" at the end of "whom" is etymologyically related to the "m" at the end of "him" and "them"; it was originally the dative case ending for those pronouns (compare with the German dative article "dem")

RedCream's First Law: All threads diverge from the admission of roal.

>>534
>>539
Except "whom" is grammatically correct in some cases, and "who" is grammatically incorrect in the same aforementioned cases; it is not some word used by those trying to emulate some "higher class".

>>554
Technically it is grammatically correct. But that doesn't change the fact it has fallen out of favor in our cultural discourse and will soon fade from use entirely. The only people using it currently are ivory tower academics and people trying to emulate said in a misguided attempt to sound intelligent and upper-class. Furthermore, grammar is fluid and culturally determined. The enforcement of arbitrary grammar rules is a classist, racist attempt to deny the less fortunate the opportunity to speak. If I was you, I'd focus less on your grammar and more on allowing people to express their ideas how they see fit.
