>Are you mean to people online
Used to be
>And if so why
Catharsis addiction I picked up from twitter. Mellowed out a lot after making a website and getting into digital grass touching. Deactivated it and never looked back.

Also finding out a few of the people I was arguing with were actually just bots, and the others were just normal people I was sorting into boxes of caricatures the bots made. Some were genuinely like that, but I think people get groomed into being indistinguishable from bots if they use twitter enough.

sometimes, yeah.

>And if so why
because some mfs on the internet are insufferable and should die, and because it's cathartic

because my life sucks and its all your fault

I think it means to use sites that are less algorithmic and ragebaity, so it’s more healthy.
I don’t know a lot of sites like this, I like neocities sometimes but it’s kinda boring, so if anyone has any recommendations that’d be cool.

Yeah, that and just surfing in general. It doesn't feel healthy to just stay on the same hand full of sites all every time you're online. Ya gotta explore links and bookmark new stuff. Sites on neocities and nekoweb are a good hub to find stuff from, they have a good culture around linking and citing stuff.

Yes. For funsies.

usually i'm very patient and friendly, even with people i maybe should not be, but if they start to be rude, or dehumanizing, or troll, i become rude in return.

>>831697
Not really.

>catharsis
Why are you spamming this word everywhere?

>>831822
I'm not the first to bring it up, but it made sense, so it's fresh in my head. That's how I imagine most word-of-the-day events happen here.

>are you mean to people online?
<yes
>why?
<picked it up from my family and adapted it to my mother's teachings

my family has this habit of not just being mean but segregating and blaming the easiest target in the family
but my mom taught me to never point my anger towards the people i love
so i just bottle up and wait until i find someone who i believe deserves it

>>831823
Ah, so you're a brainlet retard who just regurgitates
Carry on

Everybody regurigitates a bit of what they see because we are interdependent beings deeply interconnected even if we dont realize. You know, dialectical materialism teaches this.

And YOU KNOW where you can learn more about dialectical materialism? that's right! in GEORGES POLITZER'S "ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES OF PHILOSOPHY"!!!!!!!!!!

These two things contradict. No wonder you transhumanisted out.

her behaviour contradicts her words. Why do you think that is? if she teaches you not to be angry at people you love then that means she can lash out at you at will but you can't do anything to her because you've been taught you cant, so she can do what she wants.

Instead of developing a maladaptive habit and lashing out to internet randoms you need to make peace with the fact that your mom taught you bullshit to abuse you more efficiently.

>Everybody regurigitates
You should be synthesizing, not regurgitating. Contradictions are resolved through synthesis.

depends on how you define "mean". if you mean like berating people or harassing them or name calling or telling them to kill themselves, then no. if i talk to someone who is openly hostile and hurling insults and vitriol at me i just find it funny and typically respond with sarcasm and mockery. but if i talk to someone who tries very hard come off as an intellectual and is passive-aggressive or casually condescending or using any kind of sneaky manipulative tactics on me then i get genuinely annoyed and i start pointing out their factual inaccuracies and logical fallacies or setting traps to catch them lying or contradicting themselves or just dissecting their personality flaws, until the mask slips and their performed emotional detachment devolves into open hostility and genuine indignation, and then i feel like i've won and i decide not to kill myself and live another day.
