One of my lessons today is that I should not attempt to get down in the mud with people who mudsling and shitpost as a lifestyle. I'm not temperamentally suited to it.
@offby1 There's a serious wisdom in being able to see who's there to find things out and who's only there for the love of arguing.
@benno yeah, I'm regretting engaging.
@offby1 If you ever need the "I just need to say things because they're wrong" but don't have a good outlet, feel free to DM me (or I can provide other contact if you like other patterns.) I am very aware of how well "just yelling at someone who gets it" can be to short circuiting the instinct to get into the trenches.
@offby1 my version: I don’t have to express every opinion of mine that results from thought and has subtle nuance, nor do I have to post my unpopular opinions just to get trashed for them.
