He even takes the time to try to have in depth discussions with randy ( 1.9 ).

It's more, hey I read your post, and aren't going to straw man or red herring or whatever terms we use for misrepresenting/manipulating what you said -- that's how you get a good score.

I’ve been trying to dial back my own bullshit, and not give into the urge to call names and go for zingers and wrestle pigs in mud, and just try for a civil dialogue. I dunno if anyone even noticed tho. And maybe I’m not even doing a good job anyway.

I’ve also been increasingly depressed. It started in 2019. Then 2020 wasn’t exactly the best year for mental health, either. And that shit’s like 5 years ago now, fuck, but I’m still in a rut.

The thing that’s helped the most lately is the tinder thread. As it turns out, the world just seems a little less fucked up when you have a nice pair of titties in your face. Mmm. I feel a little wind in my sails just thinking about it. Goddamn.

I digress.

But yes, I been thinking about a thread like, “message boreding: a cautionary tale.” It just sucks that like 2 decades into this it’s been defined by poster exoduses and everyone being pissed at everyone. There has to be a better way. I wish we had more of a sense of camaraderie here. But I also know most of the bored thinks the conflict is all my fault.

I’ve also been thinking about a gratitude thread. Cuz, among other things, and not to brag, but I feel like you guys really don’t appreciate my dive bar reviews enough.
