I think I've had enough fun. My thoughts:
1). Too many of my old message board friends have left. Haven't seen TOG or Mega. Looks like Medic is just the latest casualty
2). Reasonable discourse is now on life support and no one wants to be educated. They only want their tribe around to support their personal fücked up beliefs. It eases their insecurities. Particularly the Snowflakes and the Neanderthals.
3). Want to frustrate yourself? Try to change someone. Best you can do is be accepting
4). Some people are so left-brained that they cannot comprehend irony or sarcasm. I don't know if it's sociopathy, neurodivergence, "the spectrum", or just pigheadedness. Regardless, lighten up if you can
5). Some people are immune to the facts. Pity them. They mean well but are seriously, seriously misguided. Try to be understanding of their situation and try to bring them back into the light without mocking or bullying.
6). Don't be an internet tough guy with an anonymous handle hiding behind an iPhone. That's some bullshît-level cowardice.
7). Vote
8). Read
9). Take a break from this board, as I'm doing. Even take a break from the internet and go on some long hikes. See what a couple weeks off does for your psyche.
10). Go Pokes. The rest don't matter.
11). Flame away. I'll be somewhere else and I won't hear about it unless my buddies here text me about it.
