I only have a problem with dialogue in 1st person. All the 'I say/saids' just feel awkward. Otherwise, though, I have no problem with it. Writing in 1st person is nicely different if you're used to 3rd, too.

2nd person writing, though...

It's a thing. 'If on a winter's night a traveller'.

So, very recently I learned of a band quite similar to another one I happen to like, and after checking them out I literally yesterday downloaded one of their more well-known song.

But still, as far as bands that were big in the Seventies, this one faded into obscurity for the most part.


Today, as I muster the strength to properly wake up, guess what I hear? THAT EXACT SONG PLAYING OVER THE GODDAMN RADIO.

What are the odds?
What's the song/band?

I assume it was about cod tendies and an austerity-caused crunch in the supply of good boy points.

In other news: if my calculations I correct, as likely as it is that they aren't, the theoretically longest polyethylene particle possible is over 215 kilometers long. As in, if you took a 215.001 kilometer long particle and held it by the first atom, the bond would break apart under the particle's own weight.

GODDAMNIT CAT!

I know I suck at hunting, but I don't want your goddamn bird carcass. I'm trying to eat some noodles and watch the rain.

The WTF is his insistence... If you can't figure it out...

First person is the best for Unreliable Narrators, though. There's nothing quite like the creeping realization that the person who's eyes you've been looking through for the entire story is, hey, actually not just a you-proxy, is also not really stable, and is quite possibly a danger to everyone around them.

People actually believe this excrement?
Given the dweeby voice and cartoony Flash animations, I think it's a parody of weird conspiracies.

There exists literally a sequence of failed pyramids leading up to the successful ones. They didn't haul the rocks, they understood mechanics. Levers. Professional masons and architects were at work; modern engineering has since then accomplished so much more. The reason why we don't make great stone pyramids anymore is because we have no need to [and now modern architecture seems to prefer building god-awful reverse pyramids anyways so fuck that].

*EDIT
It's now talking about space Jews. I don't think I can stand it much longer.

**Now it's talking about Martians existing, going full Adeptus Mechanicus and blowing themselves up.

***THEY'RE TIME TRAVELING NOW

****THEY'RE BUTCHERING CLASSICAL LITERATURE NOW

*****CRITICAL BULLSHIT LEVELS ARE BEING ACHIEVED

******THERE IS SOMEONE SPEAKING TO MINERALS BEING USED AS EVIDENCE

*******I CAN'T TELL WHO'S BULLSHITTING WHO ANMORE

********I WILL FORCIBLY GO BACK IN TIME AND MAKE THEM WRITE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS THAT I WILL DECK WHOEVER MADE THIS WITH THE FORCE OF A THOUSAND SUN-GODS

Strange coicidence, one of my cats brought me a mouse this morning.

Not a dead mouse, mind you, a very live mouse which bore no signs of injury but was literally petrified with fear. I took it outside and put it on the ground, then it scampered off.

30 minutes, couldn't bare it any longer. The bullshit on alchemy and invincible tablets you must read but cannot find was just the straw too far.
