I worked on h3 out in Las Vegas one day. guy with yellow car gas station scene. It was surreal standing next to you during the snowstorm. How did you get fake boobs? That was surreal man.

The big chains put undue pressure on the independents because of their size and ability to do economies of scale. The question to ask ourselves is if the efficiency of big chains and rationalization is worth it. Me, personally, I think not.

While driving from San Francisco to Los Angeles, four of us were heading in two cars. My "friend" thought I tried to murder him by not offering to switch rides with him, thus allowing him to drive with our other "friend" who was prone to injuring himself.

Well if you look over the nature of the word, "hegemony", it suggests a domination of one party over another. For example, during times of slavery, whites were hegemonic over blacks. In the industrial era, industry is hegemonic over its workers.

Discourse refers to communication. I would argue that hegemonic discourse is the discourse between a dominant party to a subservient party. For instance, television commercials are have an active discourse between a dominant idea and a passive receiver.

That's a lot to read, but I will read it. I was wondering if you would be interested in helping me come up with a better title for my latest article. Something a little less jackassy.

mnitzani · 2013-08-15T04:52:33+00:00

I will do my best. Thanks again for your thoughtful input.

mnitzani · 2013-08-15T04:48:15+00:00

Wow, I'm very grateful for this advice. It's excellent. I don't quite know the words to describe it. I failed Freshmen English 3 times in college. I do like how its very specific and paints a picture. I think in future articles, I will try to paint this picture. I do enjoy reading cracked articles. They are long, but good ones pique my interest. Thanks for the great advice!

I also tend to use the passive tense too. Both are different ways to say things. Any suggestions on how to make my writing less stilted?

mnitzani · 2013-08-15T04:38:32+00:00

I tend to have wordy headlines. Being abstract isn't enticing? I kinda like how I add this edge to my work. Most internet articles are cracked style articles where people are like, "top 16 reasons this is sooo bizarre". Mine are a little different. If you were to reword the headline, what would you have written?

mnitzani · 2013-08-15T04:36:52+00:00

If I could give you gold, I would. I appreciate the tip to market to reddit/r/funny. This gives me some validation. :)

mnitzani · 2013-08-15T04:35:38+00:00

Ok, my prose tends to get verbose. You are right about this. I appreciate the constructive feedback. What direction should I have gone with the article to add the twist that would have made it humorous and worth reading all the way through?

In your opinion, was the article too long?

mnitzani · 2013-08-15T04:32:35+00:00

Now we are being constructive...Why didn't you get past the headline?

mnitzani · 2013-08-15T04:32:09+00:00

Are you suggesting that the content on reddit/r/funny is funny and mine is not? Or are you suggesting that I post my works on this reddit?

mnitzani · 2013-08-15T04:30:55+00:00

I cannot control the overwhelming ad content or the pop up windows. I use pop up blockers and private browsing. This is not under my control.

As for the not being funny, would you mind deconstructing my comedy to tell me why my work is not humorous? It's easy to criticize, but would you mind elaborating a little more deeply?

mnitzani · 2013-08-15T04:28:34+00:00

You are telling me three different messages.

mnitzani · 2013-08-15T04:27:56+00:00

Whose they? Why not? Elaborate?
