IRL i tend 2 speak like i'm on the internet...

for instance, when i'm walking around talking to myself, i literally say the below abbreviations in my head -
"lots of stupid going on ITS", where its=in this store (similar to ITT)
or
"people be driving like idiots OTR", where otr=on this road

or i troll conversations with all caps speak -
person: "you shouldn't go to that school"
me: "BOYCOTT DA SCHOOOOOOO"
or
person: "man this corn is good!"
me: "COORRNNN GOOD!"

thank you The Internet, you have made me sound like more of an idiot IRL while simultaneously giving me ADD.

I think the internet has, and will continue to make people more socially awkward. Seems like a lot of folks are just plain afraid of having to talk to or be near other people.

nahh people just say whats on their mind irl now like they do on the nets.

this makes things more awkward if you're a little odd (myself included)

never. I play my shit way too close to the vest, on the internet or IRL. I've learned through others that airing out your dirty laundry is never, ever a good idea.

I've been messageboard desensitized thanks to TWW. Other boards people get all butthurt over the lamest shit. They flip out, give that PEACE I'M OUT farewell post and all that when those sites are fucking Candyland compared to here.

Makes me LOL

I got banned from packpride for a month because I quoted a stupid post and stated that it was stupid.

I thought i was being rather restrained.

I frequently use "umadbro" IRL and surprisingly it works more often than not to diffuse anger and frustration.

probably because the immediate emotional state becomes confusion.
