“What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.”

In what world does it take a great deal of effort to type out three sentences or so on a keyboard? Are your keys mounted on industrial grade hydraulics? Or are you referring to the mental exertion that you personally require in order to effectively argue on the internet?

I mean more how do you read something like "ITT: Time you won't get back" and commit yourself to pointing out that this common figure of speech, when taken literally, doesn't make much sense.

What is your endgame here? How do you win? Is this the sort of thing you like doing?

>common figure of speech
This is exactly my point. It's not a common figure of speech where I'm from, and it shouldn't be one anywhere, because it's fucking gibberish.

What endgame? What's your endgame when posting on the internet? Why do I need an endgame? What kind of horrifying utilitarian dystopia do you live in in which all activities must have an end game?

I'm getting unreasonably mad replying to you so I think I'm going to stop now. Don't you think it's a little stupid to derail a thread simply because you object to a figure of speech? Would you react the same way if someone said "throw a spanner in the works" or maybe some sterile Canadianism?

I mean I have things that irritate me too, but I'm not so self-important and/or socially retarded that I make a spectacle of pointing out exactly why this thing that irritates me is stupid and doesn't meet my standards of what I consider acceptable usage on 4chan.org. You, with your pedantic niggling and inflammatory oh-so-subtle swipes at American literature, have managed to turn a normal if drab thread into a horrible shitflinging contest that has nothing to do with literature and everything to do with your inability to keep your self important haughtiness to yourself. So congratulations, I guess, you win.
