i brought it up to point out that not every twist of language should be taken seriously. while i get that writing off any dialect that isn't "proper" enough for you is problematic, that doesn't mean that any use of language should be revered as some sort of serious dialect.

"this needs folded" is not part of some southern or african-american dialect pattern.

my point, whether if it is or isn't, is that it could be because language is a flexible ever growing and ever changing organism, and how do we know that no one speaks that way somewhere in the country where it has become the norm? we don't and therefore making assumptions like you did, going back to my first post, is prescriptivist thinking and in the linguist world is often associated with conservativism and bigotry and other similar lines of thought. thats all i was saying. you can't say any language is idiotic  because it simply isn't if its understood. now gobbledegook is idiotic. the gabberwocky is idiotic language, James Joyce's made up words were a fictional dialect.  think about that comparison and i think youll see my point of view, even if you don't agree

on googling doge to find out what group of people you were referring to that are so bad i discovered it a meme, so no i am not comparing a meme to dialect.

you wrote that saying something aforementioned phrase was idiotic. as far as people speaking like that, it is not and why i got pissed and if you still think like taht i stand by what i said

if you were specifically quoting a meme and calling that idiotic, then there has been a massive miscommunication due to my lacking of internet memes and such

edit: when i wrote, doge yes in the previous comment i was honestly ignorant of the term and made the assumption it was some sort group of people as people are the ones who generally use language. of course, i forgot how the internet has changed everything

second edit: now that i went back and saw no one mentioned a meme before i m not sure why you even mentioned it when we were talking about people and how people talk.

oh jeez. there's a world of difference between the evolution of language and dialiect and this particular pet peeve of lindsey's.

unless you're arguing something like, oh, i don't know... doge-speak should be taken as seriously as "African-American dialect."

Which it shouldn't be, and is kind of insulting.

well i don't know about california but there's a whole lot fucking people in the south who talk like that and its insulting to say its idiotic. period.

but instead of going about like i was using the juxtaposition to make a point. i obviously don't need to explain that and yes doge - speak, any speak that large groups of people use and understand that is not official is a dialectal form and fucking is the same as African American vernacular

sorry i'm getting angry and it was just pet peeve and none of this matters

Brett's current television thoughts:


1. I really wish more people would watch Rectify before the new season starts, so I could finally have people to talk to after watching Rectify next season. I'm really glad I've gotten some people into the show though. It's so good. I really don't want it to get canceled prematurely.

5. The new season of Danger 5 is on Netflix. I am so excited to get incredibly drunk and watch it.

9. So glad Last Week Tonight With John Oliver is doing so well. I love the format and he seems really happy to have absolutely no restrictions compared to Comedy Central. Though I really can't figure out who I would actually like for a prolonged period filling in on The Daily Show.

10. At this point Girls is worse than The Walking Dead in regards to shows I hatewatch.

any idea when rectify comes back if coming back and it HAS to come back. one of the best shows of tv methinks

John Oliver is the greatest, though I am partial to British comedy. I don't normally watch late night shows but the guy taking over Late Nite is another great comedian and I really hope it works out for him

My brother introduced me to Danger 5 three days ago and GAWD so freakin' hilarious

I stopped after season 2 of Girls, but walking dead is serious hatewatch. i know its not good but i just feel invested now and there's no turning back

Shows I've been watching recently: Old 10 O'clock Live series, Dirk Gentley's Holistic detective agency (2010) Stephen Mangan is hands down the best Dirk Gently, and pretty much all comic inspired tv

I still watch Elementary cause Johnny Lee Miller's sherlock is so great (and distinguishable from Cumberbatch's) but the show inevitably fails for being a police procedural i.e. made in America

All joking aside, i'm surprised at all the prescriptivist doctrine in relation to Lindsey's pet peeve, its a very, very conservative train of thought in linguistics today. Jer, and i am no way saying your comment directly says this, but it implies the same mindset that people who think African American dialect isn't real and comes from lack of intelligence (less racist prescriptivist would say lack of education). I'm not saying your any of those things, only it surprises me as in this very minute example you are leaning toward the ideology of that camp. i just wouldn't expect it is all I mean

along those same lines, i hate when people leave "to be" out of descriptions of things that needs to be done, like when they say "this needs folded" instead of "this needs to be folded". what IS that??

once ontologist heideggar, pardon in correct spelling i dont know how to spell it correctly and i have a strict Kerouac no edit style on everything i write that isn't an actual piece of art. I digress. If Being is essentially a construct of our consciousness coupled with our perception in other entity's Being and our conscious being causally creates our observer and us the observed and vice versa, by removing the 'to be' verb form from our lexicon, as evidenced in a few but not many foreign languages, individuals tend toward objectivity and a relative correlation with their other human and animal counter parts as the subconsciousness removal of their little case being dissolves and become more toward a unified collective Being. In essence, it breaks your cultural conditioning leading to what many but not all have come to call enlightenment.

i think i took that joke a wee bit far, imagine it in a british accent and itll make much more sense

Checkin' out the bandcamp, i'm not really a huge metal fan so pardon if i'm wrong but it seems queer and feminist issues are lacking in the genre and i think thats bloody awesome (but i am not familiar with the diy or underground metal scene) and listening as typing i know my brother will love this and will have to buy this as a gift for him

edit: awesome that you using genderqueer and feminist issues in lyrical content, not that its awesome it is lacking in metal, if it is truly lacking. awkward sentence structuring and having been applied linguistics in school, just couldn't leave it without clarifying

I've basically given up on my own music, even thought it's so important to me, I've just gotten so tired of that feeling of rejection. I've tried more to focus on other people's music and trying to help friends. I used to always think that I was so special and that my music deserved to be heard over others. I think I'm finding out otherwise.

Have you ever considered that this might be part of you growing as an artist?  I feel like it's good to be self-critical to an extent.  My friend Adam said it this way, "If you're not grappling with self-doubt half the time, you've probably lost perspective. The confident ones give us the worst and most lifeless bullshit."

I've definitely gone through phases where I've thought my music was garbage.  In fact, I feel that way more often than not, but I still think it's good to share it, because it's honest and maybe someone can relate and feel a little less alone because of it.  I've taken breaks from music.  I didn't even look at, let alone touch my guitar for weeks at a time.  I was really frustrated at myself for feeling this way, but eventually the motivation just started coming back.  I had to re-prioritize / re-evaluate some things in my life before that happened, but I'm currently feeling a lot better at my music and art as a whole, even though I definitely still know that I have a lot of room for improvements.

i think this is true for Michael as i have personally listened to his music (and yours dakota) many many times. sometimes though we get caught up in this whole "there's something special in everyone" rubbish. i worked so hard to have music that no one likes, poetry that i used to think was better than T.S. Eliot shrugged at, and prose that the greatest compliment my GSU writing professor gave me was along the lines of "well  you come up with interesting ideas" the least that was said to anyone in my particular class. i have some barbituates i really want to take the whole bottle of but i'm just sick )literally feverish)  and sad and won't. sometimes people aren't that great. we really aren't created equally

I love the Lost Boys more than almost any other movie from my childhood


i also liked mallrats which kevin smith actually apologized publicly for making

i know not a single person who doesn't love lost boys. i am not sure there is such a human being out there that doesn't love it.

I watched Law Abiding Citizen today and thought of this thread. I don't love it but it's a decent movie if you can suspend disbelief.

i agree, its one that the average joe would love when it comes on but then completely forget about five minutes after it was off. completely hyperbole to ridiculous extents that you have to suspend belief or just stop watching. a 52 year old buddy of mine and his wife would always stop and leave it on when i was hangin' at theirs

Having hard time of thinking of bands that you probably hadn't already heard (such as joyce manor, lemuria, latterman, etc)

PS Eliot is one of my favorite pix type, kinda similar to the wild in that its more alt. rock 90s ish than punk
the werewolves (from GA as well) : https://werewolves.bandcamp.com/
Radiator Hospital : https://radiatorhospital.bandcamp.com/
The Sidekicks (just released new album) : https://sidekicksohio.bandcamp.com/
Places to Hide (atlanta local awesome): https://placestohide.bandcamp.com/album/almost-nothing
Walter Mitty and his Makeshift Orchestra: (this is my favorite ep) : https://makingnewenemies.bandcamp.com/album/clich-definitions-of-success
Driveway (split with Loud? is great and my intro to them) : https://driveway.bandcamp.com/


and because Soophie nun squad is the best band of all time, here's a link to harlan recommends, which has tons of stuff put out by nate from SNS and while maybe not pix-esque, is certainly DIY

Bumping this because I've FINALLY seen every episode and can read this thread, spoiler free. I like Capaldi's performance, he's a great actor, but the writing last season was terrible. It seems like the writers collectively decided "well since he's older now he has to be mean because old people are cranky." He's constantly critical of Clara. But, this season had one of the best episodes of the series as well as one of the worst. The moon one was awful, but the shrinking TARDIS one is excellent. I'm really curious where it's going to go.   

ya its upsetting that this season's writing was a bit underpar when they had such an awesome actor to work with. he's still my fav. doctor by far, then 9th, 4th, 10th, 11th, 2nd (i haven't seen the others)

I'm not counting piano and trumpet, piano i had lessons in and trumpet i played in the band. But when i finally picked up my geek fiddle, my first song was Alice in Chains - Nutshell, specifically the acoustic set as seen back when MTV played music:
