Title: How do you feel about users that use plural to refer to themselves ?
Post by: randomOVDB#2 on June 04, 2012, 01:32 pm
For me it's almost as ridiculous as FOAF or SWIM.

Every time I see "we" I imagine 4 guys typing on the keyboard, one letter each.

As for "we believe, we think, etc" - If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking

You're selling drugs on the internet, you're not Merck  :P

Yeah that shit annoys me as well. Completely pointless. You aren't the Queen of England so you can't use the "royal we" lol.

Hahaha I like that thought of multiple people typing on the keyboard connected by a unimind. I've always found it a bit ridiculous as well.

But what if you're the dude, dude?

SWIM has got to be the biggest crock of shit I've ever seen. There's no chance in hell that would stand up in a court of law.. "Oh, he said it was someone he met? What about the 2 lbs of heroin we caught him with?"

Lol if you are referring to when I on occasion refer to myself in the third-person that's because I'm being ironic. :P

And yeah it's about as legally solid as a drenched tissue holding a 10-pound shit. It's ridiculous. When I heard about BlueLight on here I went and had an investigate over there and they do it all the fucking time, that's why I didn't create an account on BlueLight to be honest, the SWIM bullshit and that everyone on BL seems to think they are Shulgins love-child and all try and out-chemistry and out-general-drug-knowledge each other there. You can't even express an opinion without someone trying to condescend to you. Fuck BlueLight in it Blue Bum Ring.

We are borg.

You will be assimilated.

Resistance is futile.



I find myself doing this in trip reports, after having tripped with others, I'll say "we." Or if other people threw down on a buy with me I might say "We were very impressed with the quality of this drug."

Yeah that's fair enough IMO if you are generally talking about a group-experience or what you were doing with people. Those that use it all the time though need to caress my balls.

I meant the scene from Big Lebowski when he's supposed to be doing a cash drop alone, and is under specific instructions not to take anyone else, but takes his friend, and then fucks up and calls the guy and says "we blah blah".. "We? What do you mean we?".. "Erm.. The Royal We.. Man"

Here's the scene actually: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP_HD1ftb74

Just to chime in here, drugs-forum is big on SWIM, however in my experience with bluelight it's only confused noobs using SWIM, then the mods usually tell them off about it!

and yes, SWIM is the most annoying thing ever. Sometimes I get a laugh out of people referring to their user selves as exotic animals...but even that gets annoying to read.

They changed that in 2011 but they have the most fucked up alternatives for it. Fucking miracle pets snorting coke, cooking meth and doing wine enemas all while tripped out on some LSD  :o

Something else I saw on there was some "My Plants" bullshit. What the fuck is that about and what do plants have to do with drugs?

It's mostly vendors that I see doing this shit too. A new vendor comes to the market spouting this "We strive to make your experience perfect!" And all I can think is "Who the fuck is we? How many people do you need?"

*Synaptic comes to mind*

They claim to have a doctor, admin, gunsmith, forum poster, and prostitute.
Well, possibly not the last part (or the first), yet that would explain why their prices are through the roof. If I had to pay an entire middle school to work for me, I'd have prices that were high too.

I find the "we" stuff some vendors use to be nonsense as well.  I don't fucking care how many people are working for you - if you find yourself representing your own product, then you're an individual.  Nobody is impressed with the "we" bullshit.  Go fuck yourself.

"SWIM" drives me up a wall, too.  I got it that as the admin of a clearnet forum you can't openly condone drug use, lest you get your servers taken down, but when you see a mod CORRECTING somebody, that's lunacy.  Swapping "SWIM" for "I" represents absolutely-as-literally-as-you-can-get nothing.

Lol yeah indeed. He is just trying to develop a corporate front though, you never know he could be working in a team. To be fair I work with a couple of chemists but I'm the only one here.

I got a PM from him when I started vending, I saw he called himself "The Administrator" and I never took him seriously again. What a tard.

The administrative team of Horizons also wishes to state for the record that it does not ever do anything illegal, though its favorite racing horse is addicted to ketamine and its pet rock shoots up with speedballs at least twice daily.

Unfortunately no, but one of our outsourced Chinese workers is closely acquainted with A Friend Of A Friend, who I hear is pals with Someone Who Isn't Me.

We've also heard that The Hot Girl Next Door is fucking Someone Who Isn't You and several of his buddies.
