as scrub as this sounds, its true desu
you need to have a goal and motive, and nothing should divert you from that, but you don't need to start being a sperg about it.

I mean, do you jerk off, OP? Because if you're saying that football is pleb, what do you think self-gratification is?

francophiles are plebs. even the russians attributed speaking it to using an innate deception and insincerity.

I know op is bait but I've read all my life, but since graduating uni I've started reading much more literature...I find I consciously conciliate my vocabulary for the sake of others. Heaven forbid I seem pretentious.

The worst part is I see pretension as positive because it implies an aspiration for amelioration... But when it comes down to it I guess I'm too afraid to aspire for anything better than what I have now.
