That pointless phrase we all know so well...
"Get a life!" (mini rant)

Isn't it funny how online characters who tell others to "get a life" often seem to behave as if they don't have a life other than the one online? It's also funny when these same online characters would go on to post things like "I do this and that because I have a life outside of here." as if suspecting that somehow, people would think that they don't have a life. They have suddenly realised that what they are doing is the same thing as the one they have accused of "not having a life", be it posting an article or a rant or an opinion.
I got clues for people like that:
1) it's no use telling others to "get a life", because it's likely that they have one, even if life is defined as a post that annoys you. In which case, the better retort to use is: grow up!
2) if you really have a life, you wouldn't need to tell or prove to online people that you have "a life" outside of the online community. Nobody cares. And people who nose around about whether you have "a life" or not, are not worth bothering with if you really have "a life" outside of this screen.
Have a fine week ahead online and off, readers!
