What Are You Doing Right Now? (256 Viewers)

It would be one thing if it was used in the context of Richard Dawkins. As with bedouin, it's an attempt to shoehorn something in the vernacular that attempts to mean something else because it might possibly sound informed and educated.

But the tell-tale sign is when people use the word "meme" and yet have never heard of Richard Dawkins. Then that's not aspiring to the nerd ethic at all (of building upon knowledge) -- it's just commandeering and bastardizing a term in a vain attempt to sound remotely educated, but farcically doing so on a foundation of blissful scientific ignorance.

In other words: it's a sham of talking the talk, and yet knowing nothing of which you speak.

Why would that be? Why would you have to trace any scientific term back to the guy who invented it? Geek points for sure, but it seems obtuse.

Because the people who actually know the definition of 'meme' would not use it nearly as much as the others -- nor would they use it in the way that many have bastardized it.

As such, usage of 'meme' epitomizes a sort of nudge-nudge, wink-wink poser nerddom -- a bizarre desire to talk-the-talk and be accepted by fellow nerds with in-the-know knowledge, when use of the very term to begin with belies a false pretense and an admission that one is scientifically talking out of their ass.

Okay, so having said all that why would you assume that I didn't know what meme really means eh, explain yourself out of that one

Btw what you just said. Applies word for word to my reaction to the Titanic movie. Before the movie few people knew what it was. After the movie, the public hadn't been informed anyway, and most thought it was a goddamn love story.

No sir. What is that?

its a specialty foods grocery store, you can find the best food, ingredients, beer, etc.. there

Damn, wish we did have one.

But grocery stores can't sell beer in this retarded state.

Fortunately I know you, Martin. So of course you're an exception.

But for the most part, I don't think I've ever met a person who used the word "meme" whose technical opinion about the Internet I trusted. To me, it's analogous to the white suburban dad who over-earnestly tries to sound "hip" relating with their children by employing slang in conversation that he lifted off an episode of Yo! MTV Raps.

You must really suffer living in the awfully overhip place that you do, nightmares of guys with their macbooks sitting in coffee shops all day and all that

I cannot give you a definitive "no" on that.

You should bomb your school.

I can imagine the trauma. Greg's coffee universe invaded by the posers, the reformed skateboarder types

 

[Dostoevsky]

No...not yet.

By the way few professors are non-stop drunk.We have a library and when you enter you just sense alcohol.
