Actually, I don't take selfies because no photo can properly encapsulate my incredible beauty :wink:

What I mean is that today/tomorrow/yesterday/next week/next mon--EVERYDAY of my life I'm gonna hate SELFIES.
I really, really hate 'em. So much, I would make a petition online to "kill the selfies"

I don't see how your irrational desire to kill an inanimate concept that's fairly harmless as inanimate concepts go directly relates to my lack of selfies but hey ho

... Now, yes, I am trying to process, believe you me. But I can't make any sense of this. There is no bright side? To what? That's a big statement to make don't you think? You also have an irrational hatred for instrumentals? Why? What's wrong with them? How do you know many people don't like instrumental versions? And when exactly did we get the song? Who is the person speaking in italics? Is it your long-sequestered desire to take selfies of yourself? Why are you trying to silence yourself? Talk to me, I want to get to know the real Azucár.

Ooh Eddsworld, been a long time since I last watched that!

Wow, wow, wow. This went to far. Pretty much we made almost half a page complaining (well, me) about Selfies.
Alright, that post was kind of a joke. No, I don't have hatred against instrumentals, they're cool, even without the voice, so let's make something clear here:
I like instrumentals. The girl was annoying for me, so I looked up a Instrumental, that's all.
On the other hand, I think it's moment to close the talk about Selfies. I think we're taking it far, maybe half a page, about something of society that almost all the members don't care about.
The bright side, of nothing, yes, that post was a joke. I didn't know you would take it like that, sorry then.
So. That's pretty much I have to say about the topic. I better shut up myself before any mod busts me!

Similarly here. Showing off the wardrobe you've put together, your hairstyle, yourself in a certain moment, or at a certain place, it's like taking a picture of anything else you own for the sake of wanting to show it to people (not tockin boot dicks here), or even drawing a picture. Now, if you're a cuntsack like Junstin Bieber, the king of douche selfies, you're basicslly at the point where you're obsessed with yourself. It's like posting terrible artwork and gloating about how good you are at making art.

+ Glad to hear Candish's cat is feeling better. 'Molly' only really makes me think of one thing though, and 'yay for Molly' is even funnier.

Just to add to the selfies debate, I don't hate selfies, per se, but they do seem to have a strong connection to some quite, imo, corrupt social media websites. That doesn't make me a selfie guy personally, though. And also, when I first heard the term 'selfie stick' I thought that meant a plastic dildo.

+ Feelng good today. No particular reason
+ More Galaxy for me tonight

Well that would be an adventure.

+ may Xen continue to feel good and may all the paychecks continue to come in and give him more reason to feel good.

I don't like the word "selfie"... Not sure what it is, but it doesn't sit well with me. Other words have such a wonderful history and meaning to them, most composed of 2 or 3 short words from different languages chaged slightly and stuck together... The English language basically just takes all of the best words from other languages, like "pyjamas". That's, like, indian, I think...
Selfie, however, has no meaning. It's the word "self", as in a picture of one's self, but the "ie" suffix doesn't really make sense, as it's supposed to anthropomorphise an inanimate noun or verb...

Think of it like "self-portrait" -> "self-" -> "self-" + "-ie [dim.]" = "selfie": a little self-portrait. Glad your sleeping schedule's a little better! You can fix it bit by bit~

"-ie", diminutive. As in 'dearie' , 'sweetie' etc.

"-ie" is more to do with personification, is it not? Like how your examples turn "dear" and "sweet" into people.
Selfies are not always small, anyway, are they? They're just pictures of oneself taken by oneself.
I think something like "autophotograph" or just "autoprint" would have much more meaning and isn't as silly.

It has both functions. "Dear" and "sweet" are also used for people, ja? And compared to a full-blown self portrait, selfies are rather diminutive in concept. I recommend Spanish 'autofoto' si todavía no estás convencido por 'selfi' :wink:

- I'm about to be slaughtered by the Hispanic members of the forum for mangling such a simple sentence, no doubt!
Or not. Thanks Sugar :o
