The Whining and Bitching Thread

that said, what you and i have in common is being extremely hobby-oriented (read: autistic), to the point where we could probably spend 16 hours straight just diving into our hobbies/interests and go to bed satisfied, which i don't think most people are capable of. most 'normies' i know who like to work do so simply because they get bored at home, and to be honest if i lived the lives they do at home i'd probably feel the same way.

This, basically. Doesn't really add much to the conversation, but really I have no issue whatsoever just hanging around the house and being an autist, watching movies, reading, listening to music or derping around online.

i know so many people who went through some kind of existential crisis and quit the internet and became much happier lol. fair enough i guess, but i don't think it'd do me much good.

If I get bored I just do something I want to do and I stop being bored.

I have playlists saved with hundreds of videos I plan to watch at some point. I guess I understand quitting social media, but the entire Internet? That's mental. That's like boycotting libraries in the pre-Internet era.

The internet is such integrated into society i dont see how anyone could just up and quit it, to be honest.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Yeah I don't see myself quitting the net anytime soon. The one thing I have scaled back on somewhat is overdosing on news videos and yes, you do feel better getting away from that.

 

[Sophii]

News videos are garbage, though I'm not wholly political anyway.

Seriously, I took a major break from that once the Trump election was over. Im still recovering from all that garbage.

Post-Trump politics has been my favourite show of them all. Love it.

 

[Sophii]

I think this era has some of the most batshit politics, since everything is basically a temper tantrum.

Elizabeth Warren getting called Pocahontas so much that she takes a heritage test to prove she's part Native American only for it to backfire and have Native Americans shit on her for it is pure comedy gold. Couldn't make that kinda shit up.

That almost sounds like a South Park episode if you add even more abstract bullshit into the mix.

American politics has become a South Park season TBH, the insanity is catching up with South Park at a rapid fucking rate.

Yeah I can see how that would help.

I avoid news videos personally, I don't own a TV and I wouldn't play a video like that on the internet. However, I do read news stories and the problem I have is opening the comment boxes and seeing the opinions of the public. Sometimes I play a little game and try to guess what the stupidest reaction to the article could be, but I always lose to the first or second comment on top. I just hope that this is not a representative sample of our population, and I should probably stop clicking on those. But sometimes the first two comments are just openly visible straight away on social media, so the stupidest possible opinion is somehow already a part of the news story.

Crazy times.

I will have to buy some new clothes, I really walk around like a homeless. I haven't bought anything in such a long time that I would have to buy everything at once to feel mildly well dressed fml. Do we still use fml or is it too 2000's.

since about a year before the 2016 election
american politics wasn't really quite that crazy before that

i'll admit it's been entertaining-as-hell though

Fecesbook is by far the most socially conservative social media platform, all I did was post Nashville Pussy and it was flagged and my activity is now limited for a week or whatever.
