    Default "Funny e-mails" and alpha

    Sending funny e-mails back & forth to each other at work about mainstream issues that everybody knows about.... This is such a fucking alpha thing to do, isn't it?

    Now for moi those mails need more bite & political commentary but god my alpha parents eat that shit up.

    First of all, I don't know what you mean about "mainstream issues" and funny emails. How these two things coincide is beyond me.

    Second, I don't forward "funny" emails to people unless they're absolutely hysterical. And I really mean hysterical. And usually what that takes is something very cleverly put together or random as fuck.

    Same here. I may resend 1 out of every 50 "funny" emails I get.

    Common knowledge stuff that can make everybody laugh, but in a... mediocre way? (Sounds kinda harsh I know but I don't know how else to describe it)

    And I really mean hysterical. And usually what that takes is something very cleverly put together or random as fuck.
    As always 'hysterical' is too abstract to define most likely. But that's the thing, I think alphas have a tendency to overestimate how funny something actually is. Just an observation.

    Guess it's not a type thing. Well, I didn't know so that's why I asked. =D

    Me too. So intrusive. I only want e-mail that I actually want to read. If I know you well as a friend and you tell me a joke uh... that can be cool, but I'd want to know how you are doing generally too lol.
