yeah, it does feel aggressive when someone calls you out on your BS about how you are the sole arbiter of what is worthy and good for everyone else. it’s almost like that’s an arrogant and egotistical position.

yes, and we will complain to you that we can’t do more expensive and frequent trips.

i got banned for posting a picture of my cat sitting on the porch.

it made me a bird mass murderer, or something. ban was for inciting violence.

it was in 2021. then i was unbanned a few months later with a DM begging me to buy IPO stock.

I like the stand ups that make the audience look like ignorant assholes.

yeah, she’s a dumb bitch.

They call that Fight Buddism.

It’s like Hot Yoga.

thanks bro. I needed a good ‘fuck you’ today. God bless, and fuck you too.

How is your mother doing?

and all of that is highly subjective and often argued from a complete ignorance of context and knowledge of the subject matter.

You know who tells me my hobbies and horrible and awful and evil and stupid? People who don’t do them and who feel threatened by them, and think therefore they should not exist. And sometimes they go so far as to set traps with the intent to maim and harm others, because they think it’s justified because their feelings and views that nobody should ever do this thing they don’t like that is so disruptive and uncivilized.

It’s super fun being lectured by some angry ignorant nitwit how awful and bad and harmful you are, when what you are doing is objectively good for you, your community, and the people around you. Even better when the write a editorial in the news paper how you are DESTROYING SOCIETY by riding your bicycle. And if you were DECENT HUMAN BEING you’d just get in a car and drive like EVERYONE ELSE.

because it used to be necessarily, and it ICANN reformed stuff years ago, so now it’s not. it’s also why you can have all sorts of weird new suffixes you coudln’t before.

you can look it up on the ICANN history website of web standards.

I understand people choose to be idiots because it makes them feel big and strong, yes. Ape together angry, ape together strong.

and I don’t think sitting around jerking myself off about how empathetic and sad I am about the world makes me an understanding and good person, because I don’t and it doesn’t.

I’d rather go read scholarly work that dissolves our self-delusions about ourselves and our behaviors, and not the bullshit people scream on the comment threads that they think makes them experts.

I have never used linkedin, and been asked for it on dating apps, and I get blocked when i say I don’t use it.

People are weird and miserable. You can’t gamify or maximize relationships, but they don’t want to hear that.

It’s not. I know female mountain bikers who can’t use strava, because they got so sick of creepy weirdo dudes stalking them on strava and begging them for dates. That or they just set their account to private.

It’s not a good way to meet people, by stalking them in online apps. But desperate idiots can’t imagine there is any other way.

People like being offended and feeling victimized.

It’s a rush and they get addicted to it.

I have a cat and a dog… and a lot of folks will just argue with me on principle or try to make me pick a side. even in real life. or like get in a big stink about if they are purebred or rescue. i have no clue why any of it matters, i guess other than their insecure need to feel validated by getting you to agree with them.

I hate it. It’s so stupid and annoying. You can’t just like things anymore… anything you enjoy has to ‘hurt’ someone else and they have to let you know how wrong and bad you are for enjoying it.

I like Cilantro, and I’ve had internet weirdos tell me that it’s able-ist to enjoy it, because my enjoyment of it is some sort of racism against the people for whom it tastes like soap. Or like commentary made at me in the taco line when I order it how it’s so gross. It’s so ridiculous. I think Pinto beans are disgusting, but I don’t feel offended and hurt that other people enjoy them.

a single drink isn’t enough to go over the BAC limit. You typically need 2-3.

Alcohol rules are state by state and every state has different history. In my state happy hour is illegal due to MADD, and they have tried to repeal it several times and each time it gets shot down. A lot of it also has to do alcohol businesses wanting limited hours and less competition.

these are the type of hardworking immigrants this nation needs.

sounds like maybe that’s a you problem?

it’s how they cope with their miserable life.

a lot of people are not full blown alcoholics, but alcohol dependents, as if they don’t get shit faced, but they need a drink to function in ordinary situations.

I have known people like this. They can’t interact without people without alcohol. So at work, at a party, or just getting a coffee… they have to drink. And most stealth way to do this is a nip they can drop in their coffee or whatever. Typically they are not drunk or visible intoxicated, but without drinking they feel anxious and miserable.

it’s called Alcohol Use Disorder, or if you go by the alcoholic stages, it’s stage 1-2 on that scale.

Because it makes them feel special and smarter. Or, if they are legit insecure nutter, morally superior.

It’s an ego trip, that’s why. As it always is with folks who police other’s grammar and speech.
