    Unironically going outside (as safe as one can) and connecting with real-ass people is infinitely better for you than the internet

    My roommate loves making little digs at my internet usage about how she's over on the "good side" of the internet while regurgitating Ukraine propaganda.

        at least online you can find small corners, like here, of people who don't want you dead. and it's nice for a good 20 minutes I can't lie

          This place can sometimes have hostile and tribalistic people too, especially when it comes to treat defense and taking treat criticism personally, but it's less frequent for sure.

        I was at a hardware store a couple months ago at the checkout line when a chud first started complaining about the lack of cashiers, then began raising his voice ranting completely unprompted about how all the liberals need to driven out of California or into the sea while everyone was side eying him I'm assuming to see if he had a gun.

        Right? Western leftists tend to be terminally online even in regular person-to-person communication

    As a poc (Greek) its "Ακουμπα Γρασιδι" or " Ακουμπα χορταρι"

    Αφή is basicaly the sense of touch, not the verb.

    This is like anglos that do greek tattoos through google translate and it turns out incoherent. So makes sense

    It's like night and day when I go from my small town where internet is very limited to the city where internet is much more available and for longer periods. In some ways it's more open-minded because things like blm and lgbt issues have spread, but at the same time you see a lot more propaganda being willfully swallowed. You also have people with the attention span of a gnat being everywhere. It's kind of interesting to see the contrast.

    I went from considering different leanings of leftism to "if we're not doing leftism then I don't give a fuck" by going outside after super Tuesday and I feel like it's going okay.
