The Whining and Bitching Thread

[Cronopio]

seriously though, I really wasn't trying to make my posts sound like song lyrics
what i was trying to do was type my posts differently than the way i speak out loud
but i wasn't trying to do it as song lyrics, i was trying to do it like an author writing a novel

And you did well! Maybe chill with the hyphens, though.

I miss metal paddy going on about belting people from one end of the stage to the other. And dont worry he did not get up

the cocaine users call me "meth boy"

there's a short-and-thin blue-eyed 61 year old woman with snow-white-skin, bright-pink-nipples and blonde eyelashes who tells everyone that she's from Atlanta Georgia and bitches about how much Texas sucks while speaking with a thick-as-hell Georgia-accent (sounds kinda like Rogue's Mississippi accent from the 90's X-Men Cartoon) she's horribly racist, says the N-word super-frequently and then complains (to me) when the black people start beating her up
she loves sucking dick, she says my boner is the perfect Popsicle-shape for sucking on, she taught herself how to be really awesome at sucking dick (for the purpose of pissing off the Las Vegas hookers) and i'm mentioning her in this thread because she's really petty and really vengeful and when she got pissed at me she melted everything i own last Tuesday so that now my entire campsite is now a gigantic black-plastic-Frisbee

@Cronopio in this^^ post, each phrase where i used the hyphens was just phrases that i always write with the hyphens
i just weirdly crammed all those phrases into a single post

@Blurry_Dreams I'm sure you could do better with hyphens. They normally connect compound adjectives/adverbs (not ones ending in -ly), not the nouns (unless leaving the hyphen out of a compound noun would change its meaning). I mean, you're a well-read man (not a well-read-man).

Some fixes for your shit:

completely clean-shaven faces (not completely-clean-shaven-faces)
weirdly huge-ass number (not weirdly-huge-ass number)
penis-in-vagina sex (not penis-in-vagina-sex)
thick-as-hell Georgia accent (not thick-as-hell Georgia-accent)
the perfect Popsicle shape (not the perfect Popsicle-shape)
black plastic Frisbee (not black-plastic-Frisbee, and no hyphens as it's not a compound: same meaning as saying "it's a black Frisbee and it's a plastic Frisbee")
bright pink nipples (not bright-pink-nipples, and no compound here either)

There can be exceptions though. If a book has a "frequently-missing-sentences thing", the -ly word can keep the hyphen because the meaning seems a little different to a book that has a "frequently missing-sentences thing". Not a great example to be precise about, but the 1st book sounds like it's consistently missing a significant proportion of sentences throughout the text, whereas the 2nd may only be missing one or two sentences every couple of pages.

Blurry's aspirations of being an author writing a novel could turn to gold, you see

Like writin and spelln gud is needud fer riting novals.

 

[Bloopy]

It's not needed but he could at least try not to drive his editor to madness.

 

[Slammed]

Driving people mad is half the fun of writing.

instead of writing a novel, i'm gonna write a short-story collection where all the short-stories together add-up to a standard-novel word-count

 

[WorldObliteration33]

This thread is brilliance.

 

[Cronopio]

I like me some story writing now and then, yes I do.

 

[Slammed]

Writing is a good way of getting payback on people you don't like.

 

[Bloopy]

I had the idea of trying to figure out my philosophy of life, which I could maybe turn into a book if I spent decades on it. But now I wonder if it'd work better as a feature film that's mostly just me rambling at a manifestation of Bloopy. The descent into madness.

Meanwhile, there are now 3 things that may be infinite. The universe, human stupidity, and the amount of drilling required to attach new cladding to an apartment building. 1 year on and they're still going at it here. Bloody hell!

Not being able to laugh react on mobile is annoying.

 

[Slammed]

All reactions are a PITA when they take you to another screen to approve it.

Do you mean on mobile too? All went back to normal for the desktop master race here.

 

[Slammed]

I never use my mobile. It still scrolled up to the top of the page and prompted a response last time I tried it a day or so ago
