My most viewed post is literally a stupid joke from a stupid movie

@SW-User I'm not angry. I've been to enough places to realize stupidity is unavoidable. I'm just more disappointed in people's inability to care about anything beyond themselves.

@Jackaloftheazuresand I'm particularly set off by memes being used as a substitute for insight, when really it's a superficial caricature of the idea it's trying to represent.

@TinyViolins half the time not even applying

@TinyViolins Well, it's not like they don't have to face reality at some point. This is a little escape where people choose to focus on what they want and gather enough energy to go back out there to fight another day. It's nothing personal. Most people are concerned with their own lives.

@SW-User What's the point of having a community if everyone is just looking out for themselves?

@TinyViolins I don't think most view it that way. If you look at most of the complaints here you'll notice many people are here for the fun stuff and nothing else. You might be able to find one or two people you genuinely connect with but that's pretty much it.

@CestManan Yeah, I've gotten way more support than I thought I would for calling it out. It's nice to see I'm not the only one craving depth in their interactions.

Still, the responses here are pretty divided, and it's interesting to see people's motivations for coming here. Some come here looking for a place to belong, and some come here looking to be entertained. One mindset craves to express itself, while the other seeks to be impressed on.

It's a little dejecting, but I guess it's nice seeing where people stand on this approach to our online connections.

@SW-User It's one thing to find joy in life, but there's something repugnant about those who find their joy at the expense of other people.

It's like they never learned how to be human

@Magenta Social media has ruined us. We're so used to seeing information constantly flowing in front of our eyes that many can't seem to focus on anything.

They're just floating through the world ineptly while the rest of us try to put in the work of healing wounds, solving problems, and creating better ways of life for those of us brought down by life's unfairness

@QueenOfZaun Wiser words have probably never been spoken

j@TinyViolins Here is a little "meh" for you.

@FlowersNButterflies Christ, you really are a sanctimonious halfwit.

You said you weren't interested in fighting, yet here you are with petty barbs. You said you were gonna block if I responded, yet you can't bring yourself to stay away.

Nothing but hollow words from a hollow person. Acting as if your holier-than-thou attitude can mask your petulance.

Tell you what, if you're too insolent to actually mean what you say and block me, just let me know. I'll do the job for you

@TinyViolins Of course. But sometimes just an acknowledgement is enough. I dunno. I dont share too much personal stuff because I hate fake sympathy and pity. But Ive always been like that.

@V00doo It's enough for you, perhaps. But we all find ways of justifying things so we could sleep at night, right? Sometimes that means running from our own feelings

@TinyViolins I guess so.

@SW-User The 'Mute' button is the lifeline you never knew you needed. Weed out the chronically moronic and you're going to see a lot more thought put into the content you see.

I've gotten a lot more comfortable coming to this site knowing I can ignore the people with nothing to really contribute

@LordShadowfire It's so dehumanizing. To realize people will happily look right through you if there was something mildly amusing on the other side.
