The self-entitled brats flailing their arms is to be expected with someone like this, but with Tumblr, it puts things in a different perspective considering the demographic. I see blogs with thousands of pages and an activity upwards of 50 posts a day. I know I had a lot of time in high school (that I more or less wasted), but it just boggles the mind how much time some people devote to Tumblr and its community culture.

I guess it jives with the anecdotes of people sending scrupulous amounts of text messages every day, but in this case, I feel that I have a better grasp of why someone would react so vociferously to something so seemingly inane.



“… scrupulous amounts of text messages …”

  scru•pu•lous |ˈskroōpyələs|
  adjective
  (of a person or process) diligent, thorough, and extremely attentive to details
    “the research has been carried out with scrupulous attention to detail.”
  • very concerned to avoid doing wrong
      “she's too scrupulous to have an affair with a married man.”
What?


> What?

Parent is just exercising parent's scrupulous vocabulary. It's enough to drive one inane.
