for a waterproof explanation of irony look no further than popular music

the funny thing about irony...

[QUOTE=adbforever;18578578]we're all wasting our time here

regardless if you're right or I am

we both are argumentative enough to post but too lazy to get sources[/QUOTE]


that's incorrect usage of irony

and here's a source [url]http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Knowledge/Docs/Irony.html[/url] if that makes a difference

I know i'm wasting my time so there's nothing ironic about it




Although technically i'm wasting company time and not my own time. I'm getting paid right now so whatever

I love the irony of how it isn't funny to point out that something isn't ironic, given how closely irony and humor are related.

to get all meta about it

are you wasting your time by wasting company time

does the payoff of your earnings really recompense for time that could be spent crafting your soul

i am crafting my soul by being on mx

killing two birds with one stone!

Absolutely not.

I mean why would it?

[QUOTE]the result of something you do is the opposite of what was intended.
[/QUOTE]

you did this though

you argued about the brain, that was your intention

but by saying "waste of time" you really didn't do anything to further your argument, but pointed out what spending time on forums are

perhaps you could be doing origami or something

I've considered something like that, would be nice to have something to occupy the hands while thinking at work

I was replying to an adb post, i wasn't trying to convince you of anything because i realize that is completely pointless.

My intent was to waste time

proving my point quite nicely

Depends on which point you're talking about. Your usage of the word irony was still completely wrong

wait where is the point I missed it

I don't think there is one

I've been thinking about bringing a pack of cards and practice one handed shuffles if it wasn't for the fact that it'd make me look like I wasn't working even when I was

At least posting on mx makes me look productive

intention: prove adb wrong

result: we're now arguing about correct usage of irony resulting from saying "waste of time" when the very purpose of posting on mx is to waste time

just talkuing to steven ellison [flying lotus] on facebook chat lol

i already said what my intention was i guess reading comprehension isnt one of your skills

[QUOTE]I was replying to an adb post[/QUOTE]

in an argumentative fashion by saying taking a break every 10 minutes is a waste of time

[QUOTE=adbforever;18578595]the very purpose of posting on mx is to waste time[/QUOTE]

this is false

wasting time to me is doing something with no payoff. to an extent, I enjoy posting here when I have some time to burn. to catch up on the latest Brent drama or discuss music and video games or watch fingers mccoy and iskandar have a hissy fit with each other or whatever

MX is the place to be

[QUOTE]Yes. Breaks are very important, but having one every 10 minutes is wasting your time[/QUOTE]

like goddamn, this is such a clear case of agree/disagree that wow

[QUOTE=adbforever;18578599]in an argumentative fashion by saying taking a break every 10 minutes is a waste of time[/QUOTE]

uhmm.. if i didnt post in an argumentative fashion you wouldnt have taken the bait and begun arguing with me. the intent was to waste time by spawning an internet discussion with a user known to be thick as a brick

let me rephrase that just had a chat with flying lotus

there are multiple uses of irony

I have to admit even I don't fully follow their function, but imagining you trying to teach irony to anybody just does my head in

sorry man, you can't have it both ways

trolled hard

back to work
