Whenever I see that I've received a reply here I get a little dopamine hit and I think "oh man, time to see what my fellow chapos think of what I've said!". This is even true when I've been arguing for veganism. Sure, there may be some disagreement, but it probably won't be super, dishearteningly nasty.

By contrast, every single time I see that orange envelope on reddit I tend to feel a little pang of anxiety and my first thought is always "oh fuck, what did I comment on again? Am I about to get some literal hate speech thrown my way?"

So yeah, thanks friends! Someday I may even ditch reddit for good because of you, and my life would be better for it.

    delete your reddit account. it stops me from the knee jerk reflex to respond to idiots.

      That's... a good call. Being and to read and not respond would honestly probably be a really great thing, all in all.

        it's screaming into the void anyway. you're wasting your time trying to convince 14 year olds in canada
