When I see something like this, I just assume that the poster is a pedo worshipping conservative clown that thinks Joe Rogan is the height of intellect and washing your own ass is gay.

Especially considering that meanwhile in actual reality, men and especially white men, are the biggest pearl clutching fucking babies on the internet right now.

I think I'm getting over social media. I've been using Facebook over this last year and while it's been nice letting off some steam and telling right wing conservative pedo worshippers exactly what I think of them, it's gotten old. And at this point, there's really nothing else to do there.

There isn't a single space where like-minded people can get together without assholes practising their 'free speech' and shitting on everything and everyone. Not politics, not science, not movies, not cartoons, not comic books. When it's not dumb fkn jocks that flunked anything science or math related spouting conspiracy theories and pseudoscience in science related topics, it's grown adults crying about the wOkE aGeNdA because apparently in the era of being able to choose anything from entire libraries of entertainment they're too fkn dumb to do anything themselves.

And it makes me weary to have any sort of serious discussion around here too because at this point in time, my patience with bootlicking clowns is less than zero.

I wish it was a little more lively around here in other areas, because I'm kinda over posting memes too lol.

Why do you need someone or something else to do this work for you?

Lmao way to turn that on me, good one. I'm literally talking about the people who can't just scroll past or block something without needing to act like it was forced on them. The people who campaign to cancel Netflix over 1 show out of 1000s that they could've just scrolled past. The people who live in an era where you can follow exactly what you want online, and watch and listen to exactly what you want on streaming, but still complain about having the wOkE aGeNdA shoved down their throats because they're incapable of wiping their asses (or they think it's gay).

Trust me, I'm not the one with the problem of inserting my business everywhere that I don't belong. I'm not going anywhere near incel forums, or manosphere support groups, or to tell people how fucking stupid their hobbies are. And knowing these people, I'd get banned quickly if I did because they're the biggest pearl clutchers of all. This problem is entirely one sided and caused by certain types of people who are more emboldened than ever these days.

Personally I think that this Reddit style is an upgrade design wise. And as far as recognising people goes, I'm using an app that lets you tag users (Summit) and this has gone quite a long way. It's also made the start paying attention to other usernames to an extent, so if I notice that someone often posts content that vibes with me or whatever, I can give them a ⭐ or something.

What I do miss from the days when forums were dominant is that people stayed in their lanes a little more. A particular forum or board or even thread is for a particular topic, and people who derailed or came along just to insult and shit on everything were dealt with, without this crying about 'free speech'.

Current day social media has spawned a bunch of people who feel entitled to say whatever they want to whoever they want in any space they want, and cry about blue haired SJWs or something if there's consequences. And they act like the internet used to be this place where forum moderators didn't rule with an iron fist, or like the 'real world' is somewhere that you can behave this way without being punched in the face.

I just think a lot of problems could be solved if jocks went back to discussing sportsball and cars and stayed in their lanes, instead of considering themselves to be experts on biology and sociology and vaccines. There's a fine line between 'free speech' and letting the inmates run the asylum, and the last 10 years have proven that.

Basically what I miss from the forum days is that back then, the conspiracy theorist idiots would've probably been banned, and would've stayed in the fringes of society instead of going mainstream.

Yeah I saw someone say that they're a nurse who deals with dementia patients and that people with dementia are basically putty in the hands of anyone with a vibe of kindness or empathy.

Lol it can definitely make you feel 102 by the end of it. Not my favourite part of a holiday, that's for sure. Hope you found something good to binge watch at least.

Haha I can believe it. That must've been a hell of a long flight. I'm sure you'll adjust and recuperate soon though.

I'm a little late but I hope you have an awesome time there!
