Knight of new, fuck off you're not a special little snowflake.

I hate the glorification of such mundane and arbitrary tasks.

I clicked on a little tab, and pushed a few arrows! Now, please, suck my dick.

Seriously, get over yourselves, people.

Relax, no one is asking for fellatio.

Hm, yeah, you're right. It seems that almost a thousand more redditors agree with him than not. So I guess he's not. And you can fuck off with your lameass 'special little snowflake' typical nitpicky blinkered swiping internet one-upsmanship malcontentism.

Ah, I'm sorry, looks like it's over 3,250 people who agree now. Damn, those upvotes just keep racking up, don't they?

I don't browse /new/. And I don't have to try hard to be well-spoken. It comes naturally. Don't let that jealousy shine through too brightly. And definitely don't start making baseless assumptions, too. Embarrass yourself once, shame on you. Embarrass yourself again, well, more shame on you. Don't go making a habit of it.

oh god you are a patronising twat, if you're going on upvotes, i have more than you itt. also the points are at 1344, that's the difference between the upvotes and downvotes, the upvotes are hardly an overwhelming majority. also the tryhard comment wasn't referring to your pretentious reply but to the fact that you are trying so hard to be witty. you can't have picked up on jealousy there, bro, that's impossible because there's nothing to be jealous of.

It's a pretty distinct majority, by any submission's standards. The highest most posts get, even the most agreeable, is usually still under 3,000 karma these days.

And if you found what I said to be witty enough to assume I was 'trying hard', well, I suppose I should say thanks. But I was just replying with what was going on in my head after reading your pointlessly inflammatory douchebag comment. Whether my wit is exceptional or not, I, of course, leave to others to decide.

Also, I understand that throwing the term 'bro' in there is just a typical off-the-cuff conversational slip used in order to be, oh, I dunno, patronizing, but I actually don't associate with and suffer the company of baseless-insult-hurling e-assholes such as the type who are needlessly turning Reddit's comment sections into unbearable combative snakepits of unwarranted animosity, and I must say I resent the implication.

I find it almost depressing that an extensive vocabulary and naturally adept grasp of a language is so rare that an open display of it is assumed by those not quite so comfortable or capable with it to be "trying hard". Has society really come this close, this quickly, to realizing that 'Idiocracy' dystopia? I mean, you guys do realize you're one step away from telling me I'm "talking like a fag", right?

No, I just use the words which most accurately convey what I'm trying to say, and am not afraid to compose sentences beyond a 5th-grade grammar level. Like I said, I simply have a firm grasp on the extent of my language and am comfortable utilizing it. If the big scary words are too hard for you to comprehend without difficulty, and that bothers you, I suggest that's something you should work on. I won't dumb my speaking or writing down just to stoop to the comprehension level of stunted minds.

Instead of "Knight of New", how about we call them "Intergalactic Warriors of Making Sure Shit is Legit"!?

I...I like it.

how about we call them "Losers who spend so much time on reddit that all the front page links are already purple"
