Spent a morning out on the town on my day off, and everyone is just fucking buried in their phones 24/7. This realization was so absurd to me

Of course I’m not exempt from this shit, but no wonder people are having so much trouble making friends and creating meaningful relationships in this day and age. So fucking bleak

      Urging someone to acknowledge that material and sociopolitical conditions can, have, and will continually improve or worsen somewhat is not "destroying" someone, nor is it calling or even implying that that someone is a "buggo."

      I know irony poisoning is your thing, but come on. Save it.

            Absolutely everything is literally irony with no contextual or humorous differences. The most good-faith position is to say this a lot with the implication that posts can or will ever not be ironic. smuglord

              When most of what you post is stuff like this

              You also don't get beat up when handing them a Popeye candy cigarette anymore though. So maybe one thing's improved in this painful, candy-hating world.

              I'm going to read your posts as even more irony.

              And even if it isn't, no, I don't see that other poster as a "buggo dipshit" and my goal wasn't to "destroy" them.

                  You won't stop your irony poisoned modern Diogenes gimmicks so I'm not going to change how I post either. Taking a position and standing by it isn't automatically "smug" even if you don't like it.

                      That's unfair to Diogenes

                      I think "I am a modern Diogenes because I'm subversively ironic/edgy" LARPing might also be unfair to Diogenes.
