  • …Verses: OMG! DID YOU SEE THAT PIECE OF NEWS THAT HAPPENED JUST AN HOUR AGO THAT ONLY HAPPENED TO A FEW PEOPLE YOU’VE NEVER MET NOR CARE TO MEET, BUT I’M GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT FOR THE NEXT TEN MINUTES REGARDLESS OF YOUR INTEREST OF THE SUBJECT!? OH!? I NOW HAVE TO SHARE A THING THAT I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THAT IS BARELY CONNECTED TO THE PIECE OF NEWS YOU HAD NO INTEREST IN HEARING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

    2-5 minutes in, you’re wondering if this person will ever stop talking for more than a minute, or are you doomed to be in limbo of wanting to tell them you would rather talk about something with more sustainance than go on and on about stuff that just happends and doesn’t change how you view the world, nor how you will finish your day.

    Later on, you’re wondering why you looked like the kind of person who would even give a damn about what they brought up in the first place. And so the restart of the inner battle starts, if people like these are so dense that they have no clue of how disregarded you feel in the moment or how…

    HEY! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?!

    …Have you ever thought about shutting the hell up and just let the world happen for just 10 minutes without you blasting your word vomit onto it and those that live in it?!

    WHY WOULD YOU SAY SUCH A THING? THAT HURTS.

    (…AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!)


























  • Oh, I totally understand that feeling. I go back to Reddit about every month and a half to see what’s going on, in a few subreddits that wouldn’t survive on Lemmy as they are too niche. Even though I know not to check out the “popular” and “all” I have a hard time fighting against the thought of just checking the feed out a bit. It’s bonkers to me just how depressing, cynical, and rage-baiting that website was when I stopped using it as a regular, to how it is now. You just can’t take in all of that content regardless of who you are. There are so many unworthy items on there (and dare I say some even here on Lemmy? But thankfully it isn’t as rampant and/or egregious on here. Or perhaps, I’ve just blocked so many of them that the “all” page doesn’t feel so bad.) Sadly, the world as a whole is going through a lot of things that are connected and some that aren’t but still weigh on us.

    Anyway… Before I turn this into a soapbox moment… (hahaha,) I want to say again, it’s not to see another regular poster on here. And I meant it when I said, “Hope you’re doing well.”
