im going to start mauling people if they keep trying to ask me about my discourse positions. "what do you think about [x]" ok well first off i don't think about it. at all. secondly the weather is nice today. thirdly i'm going to go play outside. have a good day
#not directed at anyone here. to be clear#sorry i am a little frustrated#i used to be in the Discourse Trenches back in the day and it really enabled me to just be. a huge fucking dick to whoever i wanted and it#was an awful time for not only me but of course the people around me. i Refuse to entrench myself in any sort of online discourse again#and also i think online discourse has made some people completely unable to figure out what is and what is not an actual problem and not#just something they've misconstrued or exaggerated the consequence of in their head.#if it is not causing direct harm to the person in question or the people around them (and no discomfort is not harm) then i dont care.#online discourse 90% of the time not only waters down any sort of “issue” it seeks to solve but completely destroys any and all nuance out#of fear of being seen as “agreeing” with the “other side” and thus alienated from spaces and being misconstrued and disliked and etc etc et#i am soo over it. i'm gonna go play sportsball or something
