That's weird considering social media has been around for hundreds if not thousands of years - it certainly was around when I was a teenager. However it was only on-line for a short part of that time and real-time for an even shorter - and the on-line part wasn't very popular back then.

Jurgan posted:This is a great example of a guy not realizing what an rear end in a top hat he looks like. It starts with the narrator calling customers cattle and just keeps getting worse. I hate everything about the way this story is written. Every Redditor writes in these long dumps of purple prose, and I'm sure they think they sound like Terry Pratchett, but they just sound like a smug Eric Garland tweetstorm.

Bertrand Hustle posted:An ancient, forgotten god turning into a sarcastic rear end in a top hat because humanity sucks is a great idea for a short story though Irvine Welsh wrote something kinda like that, sorta: "The Granton Star Cause," which appeared in his short story collection The Acid House. It's got a little bit of a Kafka Metamorphosis thing going on too, and once you get your head around the Scottish brogue it's loving brilliant. But then again, I love Irvine Welsh, so I might be a little biased.

Oh dear. I'm curious what stupid fad free-bleeding is, but I'm too scared to search. Also while it's nothing to be ashamed about, I do not think strangers are interested in any of my bodily fluids.
