Typo Terror

Yes I know the title is lame. But that’s really the only thing that popped into my head at that moment and I’m too lazy to change it right now. Onwards!

It’s a perfectly normal day, I’m whining around about my life, listening to music everybody on the internet hates, blah blah… then I see my last comment on a forum got over a hundred replies. I get happy. I check.

Comment : Guys, I have discovered the sercet to immortality.

                       THE SECRET

Replies :

1. LOL, what’s a sercet?
2. Learn to type fucktard.
3. People like you shouldn’t be allowed on the internet.
4. Is it really so hard to check what you post online? Fuck you.

Nobody cares about the THE SECRET. Nope. Sercet’s where it’s at. Fucking mortal beings.

The Grammer Police/Nazis. I will not ust the N word anymore because I don’t find it funny. Get a job, or a life, or whatever it is people who aren’t on the internet do. Because I do not want you on the internet. At all.

This is ridiculous. People act like making a typo signifies the end of the world. Like the person who made the fucking typo is an illiterate rat, or a *insert offensive animal name that I cannot think of right now*. It’s just a typo. It’s not contagious. Get on with your life.

If you really cannot stand them, a  polite “It’s actually “secret”, guess you didn’t see that” Would be enough. You don’t need to insult the typers’ entire clan. THEY GET IT. Get off their backs. Not everyone online has to have a master’s in english. I am pretty shameless when I make a typo, but I have seen people get chased off a website because of spelling or grammatical error. It’s just sad. So much for the mingling of people from all over the world.

I personally cannot stand text speech. I dislike it and don’t use it much myself. Or the whole writing lyke t#!$. I’m bad at it, and I don’t care. It’s stupid and needlessly time consuming. And it would’ve been okay, it’s their time and all that, but it takes time for other people to understand what these idiots are going on about and that ticks me off big time. It’s like trying to solve a puzzle, guessing the words with clues from the article on which the comment has been posted, or something to that effect. But I’m here to complain about people who assume that everyone who makes a typo is killing a hundred fluffy (or hairless, I’m pretty unbiased) puppies and kittens by doing so. It’s not impossible to ignore. I know that there are going to be people like that on the internet no matter how many people tell them to stop.

I usually just link them to any blog/article that has a lot of mistakes (Anybody know any good ones?) and let them have a field day. People need to have fun, and for some sad people, pointing out other people’s mistakes is how they get off. It’s a lifestyle choice and I cannot help those who are beyond a certain point.

But for others, seriously people, Live and ler liev.

First World Problems Problems

No it was not a typo. I meant to repeat the damned word. Because I’m going to whine about having first world problems.

I am not sure how many of you are familiar with memes. I’m gonna go ahead and assume most of you are. There’s the First World Problems meme.

This meme

It’s usually relatable (is that a word?) for me. I have lived my life in quite a bit of comfort. I’m not ashamed of that (I don’t understand why people say I should be). The biggest of my problems was that my sister insisted on dropping me to college in her air conditioned car so that I wouldn’t get myself to fall sick. That didn’t work. I fell sick anyway. I blame the internet.

Back to the topic at hand. The internet on first world problems. It acts like they don’t exist. As if we should all be happy at all times because we are better off than some other people.

It doesn’t work that way, Internet. Humanity will mostly aways, complain. That’s normal. Even animals do that. You bring in a stray, for two days it will act like you are god, on the third day it will start treating you as it’s slave. It’s animal nature.

Everytime I see people complain about, I dunno, getting cold water instead of hot water, there’s always some idiot in the comments going “Well, people in Africa don’t get water to drink. Be happy that you are privileged enough to have water at all.” And that’s a severly poilte person. Most people are more along the lines of “You fucking asshole. Have you any idea what people go through? It’s because of faggots like you that humanity isn’t evolving”

Yes. It’s very sad that some people in the world are less privilged than the others. I hate that. I am all for equality. But feeling bad about getting hot water isn’t going to help. Feeling bad about eating well everyday… how is that in anybody’s best interests? I mean seriously, I do not understand. I know that people abuse stuff that they have. Leaving water running, lights and fans switched on, is bad. Giving these people a guilt trip is completely fine. Yelling at a person for spending their money on stuff they want and not giving it all away to charity is, in my opinion (like it matters to people), not okay.

Chances are, that person’s worked hard for the money. They deserve to spend it the way they want. I don’t see people going aroung in tattered clothes because they gave all their money to charity (they might exist, I just havem’t seen them). People get so much flak these days for having stuff that it’s pitiful to watch. It’s not cool.

Maybe I don’t understand. But neither do others. First  World Problems are a thing. They exist. Just having a car and food doesn’t have to mean that every thing’s okay. Don’t diss problems just because they don’t have to do anything with life and death!

Actually, on the internet, even life and death problems are treated as a joke. Maybe I should stop reacting to stuff I read here, but it’s not always so easy. At least I’m polite.

And if you still want to, how about you  give up your internet connection for the under privileged? No? I thought not. That wouldn’t help a lot. There’s a ton of charities out there who need help. If you can’t or won’t give money, you could help out by helping them out with other stuff. It’s a great feeling, trust me. But telling people what to do (is a great feeling too, in all honesty), isn’t going to suddenly turn them into Nelson Mandela or something. Those people are rare, and were most probably not converted by a host of offensive comments on their posts (I could be wrong, please correct me).

Just saying, people have a right to express their problems, just as you have the right to voice your opinion about their problems, but don’t chase them off the internet. That’s just mean.

Also, the HD graphics on my laptop aren’t working. My life sucks.
