You don’t get her, man! She’s, like, left Santa Barbara and stuff so she gets it. She knows that people outside of the first world aren’t like you with your iPhone and your feelings. They don’t complain, man, quit complaining.
Ignore him, sven. I get you. Hey, why don’t you teach me some more about life for black people in poor countries, or about how to forge meaningful human relationships? That’s what you’re good at, right?
Even ones who live in first world countries, so that’s a “white people’s problem”. Doesn’t fit the thread. Hang her.
She’s the OP? Ok, flogging will be good enough.
MoL I totally called it. You’ve got a crush on me bigger than my boyfriends. You are so very into my sex life and old job that you want to bring it into every thread. I think in the last year you have brought Cameroon I to more threads than I have. It’s like you can’t get enough! You want it all the time! Go ahead and keep jacking off to me if you gotta- glad I can rock your little world- but please stop ejaculating the resultant crazy in threads that have nothing to do with it. Everyone else is trying to have a thread.
I don’t know what sort of history you have with even sven, but you are acting like a prize fucking douchebag in this thread. You called her out for no reason at all, and just keep whacking away.
It’s the Pit, so you can do that, but it makes you look like an obsessed stalker. Just FYI.
Yeah, you know I love you, MOL, but that just came out of nowhere and seemed totally out of character.
Neither was your friend’s “joke”.
The point of acknowledging first world problems is to keep things in perspective, which some of us are sorely lacking. Get the fuck over yourself.
Is it wrong that I’m trying to picture this now?
Like that time you broke your colander.
I personally like this meme, but only if it’s used correctly (well correctly in my opinion anyways). Something like “I bought too much food and it wont fit in my fridge.” or “I cant hear the tv when I’m eating crunchy snacks.” are good ones. When it’s someone complaining that something they spent time and effort to pay for isn’t working, it really isn’t funny.
People don’t complain right.
In a just world, the only thing the KK Klan would catch on is a longshoreman’s hook.
She types smugly into her keyboard, thinking this has something to do with some “job” she has, as if anyone cares about where she works.
You got me! I’m stalking her. I’ve never brought up Cameeroon even once (go ahead – look it up), but she can say I have if she likes. She’s probably mixing me up with someone else, or more likely, it is pure fantasy like many of her posts.
Ah, but you see, what I called her out on was yet another “People in different places aren’t like us!” post in this thread. You see, even sven is the worst kind of racist there is. It’s pretty easy to stamp out statements like “Black people are bad” or “People in poor countries are savages,” but there’s a different kind of insidious racism that lies in statements like “The dark-skinned people of the third world don’t have small woes like we do in the West,” one that dismisses the fact those people are, well, just people, even though they look different and have strange, fancy customs. It may be ostensibly harmless because it doesn’t say anything overly bad about Other People, and is quieter than a lynch mob, but it is no less founded on this notion that “They Are Not Like Us” on some kind of fundamental, human level. There’s no doubt that cultural differences exist – let’s make that clear before someone says some bullshit – but in her bizarre differentiation of all Mystical Dark People and their universal humility, she doesn’t realize she’s actually perpetuating a condescending, subversive Not Like Us attitude. Pardon me for regarding her school of thought as racist drooling, and being a tad hostile toward that frame of mind.
That is what I was pointing out by quoting Zinga’s post about “First World Problems” potentially being more offensive to the people in the third world than it is to the spoiled white people it mocks. I don’t take issue with FWP or WPP per se (although yes, it is jerkishly dismissive to wave away a complaint about anything other than the Holocaust), but I do ask why the underlying assumption is that people in the third world aren’t bothered by petty shit. I liked that someone pointed out, “Hey, uhh, that term is cool and all, but I’m pretty sure they’re often irritated by dumb shit too over there, you guys.” While their specific complaints might often be different from ours, small grievances aren’t some kind of Western “luxury,” as they were described. They’re people too, you know. With feelings! Feelings that sometimes get worked up over very asinine shit. But sven doesn’t realize that, because the Mystical Dark People are special and different.
Reading over it, it probably would have made more sense to people reading if I’d quoted both posts I had in mind and issued my respective praise and criticism, but I was tired and drunk, and saying, “My god, you’re a bitch” was just easier.
I love you. Marry me.
MOL, I think you just don’t like this chick.
MOL, I didn’t read all of those big words, but your worst sin was confusing Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara.
Okay!
Nope, and that’s why. Btw, sorry if it seems like I’m lumping you in with me, because I’m not trying to, but I have often thought the same exact thing when people say “First World Problems!” And then I think “Shut up.”
And wait – is there a difference between Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara? Both by the beach, there’s a UC in each… am I missing something? No, I keed, I keed. They’re both terrific, but different.
Hey, if I gotta get lumped, I’m lumping with you, baby. I just can’t help noticing that you don’t like the chick. Haaa! Folks are all, “Gasp! MOL! How out of left field of you to attack sven!” I’m like, hello, she don’t dig her. No biggie. Sven will live.
Hey, I saw her first!
Guys fighting over a bitch? All of you guys take her, please!
