i am not depressed or anxious.

I still don't like talking to people, because they are boring and really selfish. I like talking to people who aren't selfish and rude, who are doing interesting things, but those people are very rare. maybe 1/10 people I meet is worth my time, and maybe 1/50 actually is enjoyable and fun to be around such that I enjoy their company. I actively date, and socialize several times a month.

the more i socially isolate, the better my mental health and mood generally are. I absolutely loved the pandemic those were 2 of the best years of my life. I haven't hung out or met anyone new in two weeks now and I am in a way better mood than I was around the holidays when I had to do a bunch of social stuff.

The geeky people who care about tech usually are the assholes and the bullies who are angry the 'normies' are using their tech that they made for themselves and that they can't live in a weird bubble of their misguided and idealistic beliefs.

early reddit was dominated my far right libertarian techies who think free speech should be absolute and taxation was theft. It was also incredibly misogynistic and racist and dominated by 20/30 something white brogrammers making lots of rape jokes.

Sort of like how fediverse is now, except it's far left techies who think rent is theft and who become hostile and ballistic towards anyone who doesn't share in the 'purity' of their beliefs and think anyone who isn't part of their queer utopia vision deserves to be subjected to violence until they agree with them.

what data is that? the data that shows human civilization has grown and expanded almost non-stop for the past 10,000 years? despite all the setbacks it has had?

Movie should be about a young idealist communist/anarchist who spend their days fantasizing about killing the wealthy and talking non stop about evil they are. Then this rich evil guy meets them one day and makes them an offer: if you hang out with me for 1 year I will let you murder me and you will get all my money and power, but you have to hang out with me for that 1 year and learn everything about my life and go to all my parties and meet all my friends. Then after 1 year the young idealist slowly learns and grows and starts loving the rich person who has given them so much and taught them so much. They can't do it! But the rich person dies anyway (they had cancer), and the young anarchist now gets their money, their multiple homes, and all their power and influence. And they decide they can do so much better if they don't give it up, if they don't start the revolution today, if they temporarily use these things to do good! They will finally be able to start the revolution and liberate the proletariat and usher in the utopia promised by their ideals.

And as they do this they start hurting people. They steal from others, first other rich people. Then they start feeling entitled to other people's things and their bodies. They host parties for other young anarchists, but they need people to provide the food, the music, and hire sex workers. And they are going to pay all these people very generously and give away their houses to these people and such, but it all goes so well, but the people who they hired aren't good anarchists/communists, they are clearly only in it for the money and are all greedy capitalists, some of them even own their homes! They really don't deserve their generosity, so they stiff and underpay the people they hired. But they also decide they should do it again, and again, and again, and just a bit longer they will hold onto all this money and power, it can't hurt right? The revolution will be tomorrow!

And fast forward 30 years and they never gave it up. They now have more money, more power, because what they had wasn't yet enough to start the revolution they still deeply believed in. They still keep hosting parties, boosting up communist/anarchist celebrities and influencers, and keep broadcasting their beliefs. But they get a diagnosis of cancer, time is running out. They have 6 months to live. There isn't time to start the revolution now! They have yet to compete the work... they need more time! so they go and find a young poor struggling idealists like themselves, and they know this person will never listen to them unless they offer to kill themselves and give all their power and money away to the killer, so that they can start the revolution...

you can also lecture people on the internet how superior you are for doing so and how inferior they are for not upvoting your content.

I don't. I'm not egotistical enough to think the world will collapse or that if it did I'd have any ability to survive it.

If there is a mass die off then I'm dying too.

i think some instances do, some don't.

but some content is not porn, but very much like porn, like a lot of the furry meme stuff

You do use it. You just don't think it's the equivalent of Jesus Christ of operating systems that will absolve you of the 'sin' of using non-FOSS software.

the vast majority of Linux use is on server or server-adjacent things and unless you're running a home server, there really isn't a practical benefit to for home use.

the same way you counterfeit anything. you make a fake shitty version of it and pass it off as the real thing and people buy it and you make a lot of money.

I use Linux and if anyone tries to talk to me about it I find a way to leave.

I also poop and I have no interest in talking to other people about their poops.

No. Thank god.

People are awful enough about politics and their hobbies. When you add sex to the mix they get even more insane and nasty.

I was a part of some dating subreddits years ago and they was so much crazy drama and mods were would trade sexual favors for subreddit influence. There was also a lot of doxxing and other crazy stuff.
