why though... why is this thumbed down. I'd love to hear the reasons. there's nothing rude in this comment. the part taken to be rude is just the tone of "aw man, why didn't you send this to someone who knows german and english equally, like me? I could have helped you out!"

I seriously despise the sheep effect FJ has where if something has 1 red thumb, people don't question it and keep shutting it down.

look what you fucking did.

I didn't mean it I swear!

I dont believe you.

You know what? This is Funnyjunk. If just one person reads this whole goddamn hurricane of a shitstorm, and gets a good laugh out of it, it's all worth it. I know that if I weren't involved in this mess, I'd find it funny.

Maybe I got the raw end of the deal. Maybe I caused others some upset too. But for the outsiders who got a chuckle from all of our misfortune, this was worthwhile.

And with that, I bid you all goodnight.

GUYS! HUTCHIE'S ASLEEP!!! POST BREAD!

welp. you were a good sport about it. posted bread.







wanna bang?

**Drifter rolled a random image posted in comment #290 at Gun control logic ** **PEOPLe DON"T READ THE FOLLOWING THREAD IT's just OP being.. well OP

That death numbers are invalid to the argument, they should be in percentage.

it's... it's a random image.

that's a random roll, you know...

You roll it you toll it.

if everyone that owned a car also owned a gun and shot it as often as they drove i bet those death numbers would be a lot closer. strong infographic none the less.

I'm sorry, what?

**Drifter rolled a random image posted in comment #2899317 at My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic ** There's this whole thing of comments of you and other people just going back and forth on something stupid and irrelevant, so I'm trying to save the other users some time...That's all.

"OP being OP"?

Mate, all you're going to do is make people curious. This is how I'd do it.

Hey everyone, I said something that was mean, but I didn't want it to sound as mean as it seemed. I have paid for this in the form of red thumbs, and made more than one apology for it.

I am sorry to have offended anyone, or wasted anyone's time. Enjoy your time on FJ.

I mean, just look at this shit! I can't believe I fucked up this badly in an hour.

**Drifter rolled a random image posted in comment #176726 at Friendly ** I think mine was better...People are going to want to find out what the fuck got everyone so butt hurt now... >.< And with the relevant roll I'm out.

There was no successful way to do what you tried to do. The sentiment of saving people time was nice, but people being people, neither of us could have made that work, for we are mere mortals.

Can you clear it up for me please?

really? why is he an asshole? what makes that picture relevant?

Actually, he isn't. We talked about that a little further down, it just seemed so at first. We cleared everything up. It's all cool.

I was only frazzled because I didn't think even at first he sounded pretentious or rude, but that's just an opinion not many shared I suppose.

i understood the post without your "perfect English"

So did I, otherwise how could I ever "correct" it?

All I'm saying is, if it had a higher quality level of English, this post would maybe look a little neater, tidier and whatnot. I told OP I'd be willing to clean it up, if that's what he or she wanted, and if any other person pops up and says,
"Hey, I translated something and I'm not sure how good the English is, could you look over it for me and fix any mistakes?" I would tell him sure thing, and I'd do it.

As far as I'm concerned, I offered to do something nicely, and got a bit butthurt when somebody didn't know what I meant, and now we're here.

when i read your comments the first thing i thought was "wow what a dick". but if that wasn't your intentions then i apologize.

I was being a dick, I just didn't realise it.

Sometimes being a dick gets you green thumbs, other times it does this. Maybe I was too used to the green thumbs.

eh...all i could do was take back all the red thumbs i gave you and give you a few more.

Why not just translate it, and put it in a repost of this, crediting this post?

If OP asked me to do that, I would. I considered that as an option when I offered.

I don't understand you people, I really don't.

At the moment, Funnyjunkies.

I refuse to leave though. Or to delete my comments. It's as if I have this bizarre talent for being able to say the nicest thing, but in such a way that just antagonizes everyone around me, and I don't even know I'm doing it until the red thumbs start flowing.

Then I break out the swears and it just gets worse.

I understand, I just thought it would be funny to post that because you said, "you people"

I know man, I know.

Why would you assume that anyone wants you too?

Are we talking about fixing the post, or translating for someone in the comments?

If it's for the post, I offered it as a gesture, it would just make the post nicer.

If it's for the comment, I'd probably assume someone wanted me to because someone asked me to. That's usually a good indicator.

I was referring to the post.

As for the comment part, i think you are getting thumbed down because you acted like a dick when you refused. You made it clear you didn't want to translate it because it would be a nice thing to do, but because you wanted many people to see it so they can see what a nice guy you are, which means you are not a nice guy since you did it for the credit and not because it was nice.

I don't really care one way or the other, but next time you offer something because it's nice, you should be willing to do it even if you won't get attention for it.

I give up. It's obvious to me now that you won't listen to my defense. I've accidentally implied something untrue, and now I'll pay for it.

Somebody's idea of you > The truth about you.

For what it's worth, i didn't thumb you down - just wanted to let you know that your answer seemed kinda dickish. I see that you aren't an asshole. It just seemed that way at first. As far as I'm concerned, we're cool.

I think my comment #60 explains it best.

I genuinely need a hug now.

it was a nice gesture, however when offering help it is important not to imply (intentionally or not) that they are wrong for not asking. your original post implies that his post was garbage and if he would have just picked you to help him it wouldnt look like garbage anymore. a better way to offer help in this situation may have been to instead just say "hey man i really liked your post, and for future reference i will always be willing to help you out with your english in your posts"
As a rule of thumb i like to start any offer of help with a compliment; otherwize it may come off as pure criticism with no intent of helping at all.
inb4 tl;dr

I would have been nicer about it, had it not been for my previous "red thumb barrage" mishap (previous by about 20 fucking minutes - I know, it's not my night) in which I accidentally implied that I support Apple Inc's nefarious schemes by criticising an argument made against them for being biased and potentially bullshit.

That's somewhere on frontpage at the moment too, if anybody cares.

Anyway, lesson learned: Stop trying to be nice when you're in a bad mood, because you'll only fuck shit up worse.

i wouldnt say stop being nice when youre in a bad mood haha, just be very very precise about the words you choose. one wrong word can cause a terrible miscomunication you feel me dawg? i feel like we have gotten ourselves into some very similar situations as i am the kind of person who will argue against someone, even though i agree with them, if i feel there reasoning for thinking that way is bullshit. idk words are powerful you just need to learn to control them. and funnyjunk is the perfect place to do it because at the end of the day who gives a fuck about some red pixels. this shit aint on your resume lol

their*

Normally I'd be the guy saying exactly what you're saying.

I guess I'm just having an off day.

Thanks though man.
