I really need to stop looking at comments on normie social media like Facebook. This has absolutely soured my perception of other humans. People are so angry about things that don't actually matter and everyone on all sides is such a hardline ideologue you can't even talk to them.
Who fucking cares how people dress? Who they have relationships with? Who they fuck? Why is there always so much toxic vitriol about this?
I suppose it can feel like this is a more productive channel for the righteous anger we all feel right now with the state of the world. However, it isn't. Bickering over the same culture-war bullshit as always, as if it were still 2017 (just dialed up to 11) will only serve to make us all miserable, lonely, atomized misanthropes.
This exasperates me to no end. I'm trying my best to not let it, but that is quite difficult.
Well, I'm this old bloke, see? And there was a time before facebook et al. I can clearly remember it. So maybe it helps to think, that these "networks" shut down the day there are too few active logins left to convince advertisers to spend their cash. And every non-login counts.
~bartender? A hot chocolate please. They say a snow storm is brewing up.
Hey ~bartender, happy new year, can I have a screwdriver in a pretty glass?
I don't know what that stress is all about, but I can honestly say unplugging helps so so much.
Can't always think about negativity when you're alone in the woods, at some point the pleasant smell of trees must hit you.
I just think more people should unplug before answering; let it sit, then answer the day after, after all the clickbaity, ragey energy has left.
Oh, the drink's gone, may I have a orange juice refill please?
