Re: Twitter
It's like a blog, except for people without real ideas, dreams, or beliefs; people who have never have anything more substantive to tell the world than "im goin to the th8r now 2 see a movie!!!". Or, even worse, the people whose lives are actually so meaningless that learning about a friend who is goin to the th8r now 2 see a movie is actually a worthwhile use of their time.

Re: Twitter
Cairney, you might notice he is very rarely online, because he is out, having a life...
and yeah, I've never said I have a life, so don't say I don't have one, I already know I don't.

Is Th8r the equivalent of Theater?
That's a really old fashioned thing to call the cinema. I'm sure these hip youngsters will have some fancy word for Cinema like "Pikz" or something trendy which I can avoid using.

First of all, five spelling/grammar errors in a single sentence = new record?Wow your sitting here moaning about people having no life's when your how old yet still here moaning about people having no life.
Second, my moan was not that people sit and talk on computers. That's a good thing. My moan was that when people sit and talk on computers, they have so little of interest to say. I love blogs. I read blogs about psychology, philosophy, politics, humor, and all sorts of things. I even write a blog. But most of what I like in blogs couldn't be condensed into one sentence about more or less nothing.
Or to put it in other words: I like music, but I wouldn't want to hear a five second track played on an out-of-tune instrument. And if someone said they thought it was really cool to listen to songs that were only five seconds long on out of tune instruments, I'd suspect them of not really "getting" music.
Lewis, I think "movie theater" might be an American term. I mostly hear "cinema" among Brits and Irish. In America (at least California, where I come from), "cinema" is understood but sounds sort of odd.Is Th8r the equivalent of Theater?

Theatre over here is usually the place for plays, although I've heard older people still using theatre for cinema and getting away with itScott Alexander wrote:Lewis, I think "movie theater" might be an American term.
