Right , I see <| sep |> I had trouble too at one time . What helped me is learning what I was saying I don ' t know anything about you , maybe you know arabic but I don ' t . By learning the meanings of Al Fatihah , the surahs I memorized helped me concentrate and bring purpose to my words . <| sep |> Just got a email about a refund from the site , if key was activated , can they cancel it ? <| sep |> Thank god , thanks for the help man , aprreciate it . <| sep |> Seconding reading his stuff . Particularly this piece . The video you linked sums up some of it , but I find it reduces his argument to ironybad , sinceritygood . As you might imagine , it ' s a lot more complex than that . Also , keep in mind that this his issues with irony were deeply rooted in the context of 90 s media . Sure they ' re still relevant today , but the video essayist makes a huge leap from Seinfeld to current TV . There ' s been a ton of other stuff going on in both the TV and literary worlds since then , even a movement called the New Sincerity similar to the one DFW predicted .
