Blame english, man. Lose has a long vowel sound. Maybe it should be written Luce and Loose. Lose is a poorly behaved english word as it is, since it has an non-standard conjugation- lost instead of losed. (Incidentally, Loosed as in "the dogs of war" isn't used much today)

Back in the 90s when I was new to the internet, playing MUDs on university computers, I actually thought maybe 'loose' was the American spelling of 'lose' because the former was used *way* more often than the latter and it was the same time I was encountering American spellings of other words like colour or grey.

I'll throw this onto the untranslatable sentences pile:

Wyrewolwerowany rewolwerowiec wyrewolwerował wyrewolwerowanego rewolwerowca.

Challenge accepted:

Pistolified pistolero pistolerized a pistolfied pistolero.

People who put half of a sentence in the title of a thread, then finish the sentence in the OP. That was a frequent occurrence in a forum I used to frequent and I absolutely hated it. Usually it was for the sake of a joke thread, or a problem that could have been solved in a general thread.

How many of those were also Rickrolls (or equally annoying memes)?

It's annyoing when people complain about other people writing about themselves. What else can one write about competently?

Arguments made entirely, or almost entirely from logical fallacies and derailing tactics.   In fact, it's so rare that I see an argument where one or both sides aren't doing this, that you could say arguments annoy me.  Sometimes they're downright scary.

Here's a guide that will help people recognize derailing tactics, and control if and when they use them.  I'm finding it best not to participate in conversations where these are present.

Logical fallacies are a little different because there are so many, it's hard to keep track of them.  Some of them are more forgivable than others, too.  "False Premise, True Conclusion" is occasionally going to happen to even the most informed and intelligent people, because technology tends to improve the capability of science to find "facts", thus correcting the "old facts".



...also, unrelated:  I take too long to post, and get ninja'ed a lot, because of it.


Edit: forgot the link

The text behind that link makes me extremely uncomfortable. Reading that already feels like arguing over the Internet.
I might have a problem there.

Turned off by the virulently sarcastic ranting of a SJW? Nope, perfectly normal. You certainly do, you privileged person! After all, anecdotal evidence and righteous anger form a much better basis for one's opinions than anecdotal evidence and ignorance (or even, gasp, in some rare cases, scientific research), and the appropriate way to deal with people you don't agree with is to browbeat them until they throw their hands in the air, which is your signal to celebrate victory. But you probably won't have much luck getting arguments with people who have an irrational expectation of the conversation being a mutual exchange, so you should probably limit yourself to blog ranting about generalized stereotypes who make judgements based on generalized stereotypes.

That's not to say that what the author of that was trying to say in a roundabout way isn't an issue, but spirits, that sort of unwittingly ironic self-righteousness makes me gag.

I actually read a YouTube argument wherein an SJW actually apologized for playing the 'male privilege' card. Mind=Blown.

Speaking of social justice whores and habits which annoy me, the refusal to use the same english as the rest of the world. It's not just that their logic is retarded, but they change the fucking meanings of words to fit their twisted world view. It should not need specifying that "going out with a guy" and "being a lesbian" are two mutually exclusive concepts, but they insist its possible.

People who type all their posts in a special color. If you're so boring to need a special color in your posts to distinguish yourself, don't bother posting.

Not only that, it has only made whatever they wrote harder to read as well.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from 'Dear  Cis People'
"Dear cis people: just because I'm gay without a penis doesn't mean I like c*** up my a**. I'm a dominant top."

WITH WHAT?


It's also funny when they try to claim that 'cis' isn't an insult, even though they frequently use it as a synonym for 'scum'. Doubly funny after reading someone saying that putting 'cis' in inverted commas is contemptuous, because it means you'd rather say 'normal'. 

Tumblr in general, and SJWs in particular, are a gold mine for annoying internet crap. I recommend InternetAristocrat's 'Tumblerisms' series, wherein he chronicles such things as 'headmates', 'cultural appropriation', and 'thin privilege'. Some asshole managed to get the 'Cis Scum' video pulled down, but there's a few mirrors. He hasn't done any new episodes for a while, partially because he's covering GamerGate, and presumably also has a life. Still worth a watch.
