META: How to tell if you need to spend more time in the real world
Edited on Tue Apr-14-09 04:09 PM by Bucky
#1: You rail against people you call "Obama fans"

#2: Yow get worked up about people railing against "Obama fans"

#3: You type a post in all caps because it's URGENT!! that everyone pay attention to you right fucking now.

#4: You think anything has to happen right fucking now.

#5: You worry about what impression the world gets of Democrats based on off-the-wall comments made in on-line forums.

#6: You refer to news personalities as "Bill O'Whorely" or "Fucker Carlson" in casual conversations with co-workers.

#7: You watch Fox News

#8: You've forgotten you children's names a/o existance

#9: You pronounce ROFL as a two syllable word

#10: You stare at the "My DU" page for two minutes, then hit refresh to see if anyone's still arguing with you. (Oh shit, I do that one!)



Any other signs I should know about?

1. You forgot one...
You always take the opposite view when conversing with family and friends IRL, and must bite your tongue to keep yourself from asking for a link.

2. I'm sure I forgot bunches (or simply didn't know them)
What with me lacking real world perspective & all.

4. You think every misspelled word is a freeper conspiracy.
Even when checking your daughter's homework.

8. #5 is the best one.
People who post that must also think that every single one of their posts is Earth shattering.

9. What is this "real world" of which you speak?
And ROFL is a seven-syllable word.
