In the same way that Veeky Forums likes to jack off our their pomo abstract bullshit, Reddit likes to jack off over their infantile YA bullshit.
Just leave 'em alone, and let 'em enjoy what they enjoy. To be honest, there's more of a market for that anyway; they've got a higher chance of success.

You literally gain nothing from making this thread. It's pointless negativity. You might as well whine about the friend zone.

I really do not understand why people go to reddit with preconceived opinions and expect any different.

Just don't go to reddit if you like Veeky Forums. The two have widely different cultures.

Yeah right, ugh, why do stupid people exist?

>nothing less than superb

>How are these people I share the world with?

These are the people that sit beside you on the way to work, that vote in your elections, who will shape the course of human culture forever and ever.

Yes.

>These are the people that sit beside you on the way to work, that vote in your elections, who will shape the course of human culture forever and ever.

This is nothing less than superb! I like the rhyme-rhythm in forever and ever, it really makes you think.

You're just like them faggot. This thread is a testament of your mediocrity

>This thread is a testament of your mediocrity

How?

You went to reddit to look for a post that you felt was inferior to your intelligence. You posted here to boost your self esteem.

It's those who have to say they are not mediocre who truly are, kiddo.

not this guy
But to add to his, also your language is cringeworthy as fuck, could come right out one of the threads you capped. Your smug arrogance is betrayed by the angstyness of your own whining.

Pretty funny, OP. Post more.

Why do you see that as my intention? Bad writing should be shamed, just like fat people.

Yeah, but I'm not talking about stigmas or the like here. Veeky Forums is known for being highbrow. You're not being highbrow, you're just doing a terrible job at being mean for the sake of it. So clearly from that I take that as your intention - there's no other real excuse.

Don't go to a website with preconceived opinions and expect to find something different. And for the love of God, stop posting it like it's new.

Holy btfo........... i want more...... pm me if you get this published

This place isn't much better

I actually somewhat liked the second opening line.
Am i a pleb now?

>That whole post
I don't even know how to feel about this but anger is at the forefront.

YOU'RE ALL JUST THE SAME

I FUCKING HATE YOU ALL

I'M GONNA GO LISTEN TO DEATH GRIPS AND CUT MYSELF

>Yes
wow, I kind of like yr style bro

Gregarious narcissists

Shut up user. It's depressing enough ignoring their existence without you pointing it out.

I hope this is that sock puppet thing I hear so much about.

this post is a testament to your mediocrity

I like it in that I can imagine it as a Garth Merenghi type satire. The first one I think has given my soul cancer, like it make John Green look good.

>sounds great and feels great

How can I learn to have sex with language like these guys?

>Veeky Forums
>highbrow

I meant

lol just lol

Holy. . . .I want more

The person I sit in one bench in elementary school is predicted to get Nobel Prize in Chemistry, sooner or later. I wish I was like him.

It's reddit senpai. Don't act surprised.

You should spend more time liking the things you like rather than not liking the things you don't like.

Reddit is better then us.

reddit users are either abusing amphetamine or narcissistic cunts to write that much in response to a shitpost

That's what autism looks like

12 year old fanfic writers

Why?

It's grammatically sound, ESL-kun.

>List seemingly trying to state the top 100 books of all time
>Doesn't include basically any of the top authors of all time
>Reddit defends it
wut

It should be "who" not "how" dipshit.

technically it drops the word "whom" and ends with a preposition
both of which are acceptable in vernacular english

The best way to judge a person's character is by the things he hates

it should be "how" op is questioning how humanity got to this state

or they transcended your little bourgeois brain.

If that's the question it for sure should be who. How would be like "How are you?".

he's questioning how these people exist
he understands that they exist but wants to know why
is english your first language

Pure unbridled autism.

reddit.com/r/literature/comments/51012j/100_books_worth_reading_before_anything_else/

He is asking how it is possible that these people exist. An exaggerated figure of speech.

Wow they managed to make a list that's even worse than Veeky Forumss...that's a real accomplishment.

To be fair, most of the books on Veeky Forumss list are masterpieces, the order is just a meme.

I'm not really sure what's going on with this list

>he's questioning how these people exist
Bro, if you have such special access to the OP's mind you must be OP. Either stop second guessing his intentions or stop pretending to be another person.

>he understands that they exist but wants to know why
It needs to at least have at least an extra verb. So "How are you in existence" instead of "How are you". Without a lot of set up I can't see "How are you" parseable in that sense at all.

I'm also being charitable here since neither is a why question, merely a kind of philosophical reading of the question.

>is english your first language
Gotta love the sense of beta uncertainty here. Maybe reflect on that being a relevant question for you and how that undermines your bullshitting.

They...got Proust and Emily Bronte on there, at least. Someone tried.

I wonder how much it matches eith TV reading lists like Rory Gilmore's... Proust was like the go to "I am a well read character" author for a long time.

You will see how retarded you are if you just put a "the" in front of "people"

>Either stop second guessing his intentions or stop pretending to be another person
its incredibly obvious what he means
you just seem to be having a hard time parsing the sentence
>It needs to at least have at least an extra verb
the extra modifiers should hint that he's not inquiring about the state of "these people" but that he's inquiring as to how their existence happened.
Also note that literally everyone else itt understood his sentence with little difficulty
>Gotta love the sense of beta uncertainty here
gotta love the need to psychoanalyze a discussion of grammar. It was a legitimate question, as unusual constructions can be difficult to understand if you're not a native speaker

Op here. It was sort of an abstract question. Just an expression of frustration, or isolation.

when it comes to art
reddit is an enormous hugbox
r/art is a great big pile of shit

He's questioning whether the beings he shares the world with are people.

>how are these people I share the world with
should be
>how are these the people I share the world with

no

1. Veeky Forums only ironically likes DFW
2. DFW only ironically liked pulp

technically both work

>the extra modifiers should hint
They don't.

>gotta love the need to psychoanalyze
Holy shit do you like to overreach.

>they don't
they do to me
>you love to overreach
you tried to psychoanalyze me over a dispute about grammar ffs

nice funpost sweatie, looks like you 'got btfo', as the youths around here say.

no they don't.

No.

Since you're obvs new here, are you such a pseud that you just assumed you were smart somehow and donned a trip, or is the tripfagging something else now?

ive been posting here for about a year
the trip is from /s4s/ and i generally only use it when im crossposting from there
how not?

>you tried to psychoanalyze me
You would like it to be "psychoanalysis" but it's pure commentary. Going through a whole load of bullshit just to end with questioning who has authority is a beta post. No cigar penors around here.

>a whole load of bullshit
more like two short sentences
>question who has authority
or asking a legitimate question?

If you're wondering why they are praising something as great when to us it may not seem great at all is probably due to the attachments that come with using a site such as reddit.

On an imageboard, you do not have people worrying about their posts being downvoted--you can post retarded shit, such as this thread, and not have to worry about the people who disagree with you shutting you down by downvoting your comments or submissions into being hidden from others. When you have that voting system, a user is far more likely, when giving criticism, to coddle people. This is because they want to project an identity of themselves that seems nice and friendly--karma points factor into that too.

Whereas here, most people say whatever they feel like saying as they are not grounded by karma points or post history. An environment such as this one produces material that is more blunt and jaded--even to the point where someone could come off as being an asshole sometimes, as this environment attracts that release of unrestricted (not really, but you know what I mean) speech. It is a relief when you can say whatever is on your mind without having those attachments, so it's easy to come off as a dick when you're just trying to blow off some steam, or if you have had a shitty day, to take that out on some other faceless entity. One can even make pointless repetitive threads that they find mildly humorous to distract themselves as a form of escapism. That's why we come across countless stupid threads such as:

>What did he mean by this
>Is he, dare I say it, our guy?
>What went wrong
>etc

They serve their purpose though

All that comes from me browsing reddit anymore is disappointment. It's like being a dilettante is considered perfection over there. I just don't get it.

>inb4 projection

>ive been posting here for about a year
Your first post on s4s appears to have been from a week ago and assking for furry porn ("MORE. WABBIT. BOOBERS."). Your first post here is in this John Green thread One day after s4s

I just think in that context, it makes a lot more sense to use "the people" where just "people" would lead to a different meaning

>how are these people i share the world with?

In this sentence, he's comparing "these" (those in the reddit image) and "people".

It doesn't come naturally to me that he's comparing "these" to "people i share the world with".

If he instead said
>how are these the people I share the world with
it comes much easier to me that he's comparing "these" and "the people I share the world with.

The way it's written, it seems like he's incredulous that "these" (those in the reddit post) are people at all!

This is clearly not what he meant.

to clarify, without the article "the" before "people", it naturally reads as
>how are these people [adjective phrase]?

and then you read on and realize that "I share the world with" isn't an adjective phrase at all.

This is probably a much more concise way to explain it than my previous post.

i started using this trip like a week ago
but ive been here a lot longer
nice investigative journalism though
there actually was a different FOXE on /s4s/ and i just took his trip
but is it technically grammatically incorrect or just somewhat awkward when looked at?

I would say that it's not grammatically incorrect, but terrible english, and doesn't convey the intended meaning very well.

>Holt, John. Teach Your Own.
>How and why to home-school.

>You may notice, reading this list, that this is a bit of a theme — literary books, that are famous for their technique, style and so on bore me.

what the fuck? How is this not a parody?

Both of you seem to have deep sense of insecurity that you project onto each other. Have you ever considered, that maybe one of you needs to overreach, and one of you needs to psychoanalyze others over grammar--Or maybe both of you are arguing over such petty bullshit that only morons would get involved in with.

Jesus, I'm so much better than both of you.

right lmfao

You have very clearly been here for no time at all babby.

>but is it technically grammatically incorrect or just somewhat awkward when looked at?
Why don't you know already?

Was it the tumblr image thay brought you over btw? If I see an increase in furries I can only assume.

Now this is actual psychoanalysing.

Read a book for once, stupid shitskin.

Id say its even worse but people here are self aware and honest even in their idiocy so its bearable even, dare i say it, entertaining.

What's going on with you broheim?

>you very clearly have been here for no time at all babby
i have been here for about a year, its not like i can prove it
infinite jest, ulysses and gravity's rainbow are the meme trilogy
there is also a meme about attributing various authors' quotes to John green to see if anyone can spot the real john green quotes
>why don't you know already
i mean its definitely not incorrect and whether it is difficult to parse has been the topic of discussion for like 50% of this thread
>was it the tumblr image that brought you
???

Jesus fucking christ, can you really be this up your own ass? Get a fucking grip.

One doesn't need to read OP's mind to know what he means because it's very clear just from reading what he posted.

theres another meme that nabakov called mccarthy corncobby so now he's the cornfather

>???
So why are you here and why are you tripping? What's the process at work here?

ive explained this twice already
im crossposting on /s4s/ and im too lazy to turn off the trip

But why the trip all of a sudden?

Could you be less of a samefag? You are the only retard that didn't understand what OP said, and the only one arrogant enough to think he was smarter for it.

because i want people to notice when i say something stupid

its a meme from /s4s/

hey you arent me im turning on the secure trip again

The word "foxe" is a meme from s4s, but using it as a name isn't.

???

only one of those is me.

I understood what he said, but it took me a minute.

HAHAHAHAH BLOWN THE FUCK OUT. This is too good to be true. Can he ever recover?

its just how it progressed
