Maybe someone on this board can straighten me out, but as big a dick as I am, I don't really think I'm really a snob about anything. My taste in television, music, beer, etc, are pretty low-rent.

I guess I will think less of a person if they profess a love for Friends or Dane Cook. Maybe that's enough to make me a comedy snob. Yeah, that's probably it, so I'll check that box. And it's probably more pretentiousness than snobbishness.

Haha, woooo!

The only person to vote computer hardware :D

Can't stand it when people defend products or hardware with faulty logic.

"Mac books cost most because they are more high tech"
"I only use Monster cables for my system, everything else to clearly inferior"
"I need Lossless audio, because 256kbit/s sounds like trash, I can tell the difference with my stock iPod headphones BTW"
If you aren't having a good time, why are you playing?

I am with you 100%. I only drink craft beer; the other stuff just doesn't cut it. Sure I'll have an adjunct lager if it's handed to me at a party, but otherwise I'm the guy who brought the six (or *gasp* four) pack of weird beers.


Speaking of four packs, here's a bit of my snobbishness in action. I saw that Leinenkugel has come out with a four pack of Russian Imperial Stout. I asked the cashier if it was a joke.

I do want to try it though, although I have no expectations that Leinenkugel can make a good Russian Imperial Stout, I have been surprised by sub-par breweries in the past.

Hmm, fair enough. I'm not sure I see the distinction, but that's not what the thread is about. Anyway,

Text loosens inhibitions, which will exaggerate the good and the bad side of people. It's like alcohol. Some are mean drunks, some are happy drunks, some are a little of each as the case may be.

BTW, good answer. Most people are somewhat distasteful. I know I am. Maybe you should embrace it. Say to yourself, "Fuck this asshole. I'm going to make him talk to me. Serves him right." Might be good for a laugh.

I am very snobby about Windows vs. Macs. Meaning that I constantly tell people that Macs suck. :)

Was this person a real human that you knew as a real friend whom you happened to be friends with on Facebook or just someone that was "a Facebook friend"? If it's the latter, I can't see how it could possibly matter. :roll:

I hate Macs too, although my logic is certainly not based in anything substantial like yours :lol:

I'm almost pretentious enough to follow this with my opinion in the vi/emacs war.

Almost.
