      Being real for a sec, are you doing okay with everything? This can’t have been very fun for you to engage with so it’s starting to seem like you just want someone to talk to.

      I try to keep in mind that there are real humans beyond the words we’re typing and these peoples have lives and stress and a bunch of shit we could never see.

      Social media, especially karma systems, are a quick way to feel like we’re being social, but the upvote/downvote system psychologically puts us in constant competition, as though conversations can have a clear winner and loser.

      I’m not going to call you names back, I’ve played that game, it doesn’t feel very good. Any hobbies you’re currently excited about? I have a couple things I’m doing I could talk about too?

      And if you really are just having fun saying “Cunt.” over and over that’s fine too, I’m just confused what you’re getting out of it.
