I love y'all, don't get me wrong, but I joined a weekly in-person DnD group a few weeks ago with some friends and that has done more for my mental and emotional wellbeing than this or any other website ever has.

It doesn't have to be a tabletop group, it doesn't even have to be a group, it can be one best friend that you're particularly close with, just get together with someone face-to-face and have a good time. Whether that's gaming, watching stuff or just plain ol' talking with eachother.

The point is: Get offline and interact with another human being.

Online friends are great, they are, but even today online shit just cannot compare to actually being around others and just doing...stuff together.

In conclusion: The general idea of "Touch Grass" isn't just a meme/insult, there's real truth to that shit.

    One of the chuds I had to (instantly, once mask off) cut loose and do some jagged social damage with the rest of the group started going off about what Joe Rogan said the other day and said how "triggered" members of the group were, unprompted.

    He waved the "military vet with PTSD" card for why no one but him was allowed to be triggered. :frothingfash:

        That was his argument with different words. He argued that only killing and watching people die was legitimate trauma. He didn't just hate empathy... he was an empathy vampire.

        being an asshole was more important than empathy
