Ikr?! @dicey

I try so hard to be reasonable and I just get my ass trolled.

I was trying to be nice about it because he brought up some good points his posts come across as so damn peevish for seemingly no reason.

When I said my last years with my father was ruined because I quit anti psychotics and can't quit "lol, ok"

@dicey @basedbagel @rees @condret I'm sorry, Dicey. Losing a parent is hard either way.

It's something we have to go through all of us. Thanks for your words

@dicey @rees @condret

I just went back and read that.

I understand that people have different personalities but that's just a dick move.

I blocked him after he spoke bad of my dead father saying he was responsible for my disease

@dicey @rees @condret

TBH i don't blame you.

I have mixed feelings about people like him.

On 1 hand I think his cynicism and antisocial behavior came from some serious trauma like bullying due to things he couldn't control.

Why else mention how hard it is being short/ugly out of nowhere?

But on the other hand just because life was unfair to you doesn't mean you should be so dismissive and rude.

That's the mindset of supervillains and can lead you to dark places if you're not careful

I been kind to him for 6 months sharing cat pictures with him. I was very close to my father. He was pure good. A kind innocent man. Of course this @rees is a psychopath to turn into this out of nowhere

@dicey @rees @condret

>Was very close to my father. He was pure good. A kind innocent man.

My condolences to your father.

In a way I'm actually glad this conversation happened because it reminded me to cherish my loved ones while they're here

>I been kind to him for 6 months sharing cat pictures with him

You guys were cool for 6 months? That is random as hell something is definitely up.

Yeah I thought we were best buddies. I saw signs when I mentioned my schizophrenia of a anti social reaction some months ago but didn't think much of it and continued sending cat videos thinking we were close. Much love to you though you seem like a honest upstanding person

@dicey @rees @condret

Very strange indeed and I'm gonna sound like an armchair psychiatrist but I suspect mental illness.

Based on what I've read people's personalities don't change very much after age 14 barring serious traumatic events.

But what can I say you never really know a guy.

I've had people I've known for decades switch up just like this.

Maybe autism. I find it very difficult to interact with autists lacking empathy. Almost impossible

@mischievoustomato @rees @dicey @condret

I know it sounds unrealistic but I'm not naive about what I'm up against

In the past many activits never lived to see the positive change they enacted on the world but that doesn't diminish their efforts.

I'm going to raise awareness as best I can and do my own social engineering to reverse the damage big pharma has done to society.

If not me, an online pastry, then who?

good luck
i personally don't think any avg joe can do anything meaningful

@mischievoustomato @rees @dicey @condret

I respect your opinion but I'm just hard-wired to be an optimistic persistent bagel.

Remember if the creator of mastodon had that mindset we wouldn't have an open-source social media alternative with TRUE free speech

i just don't see stuff getting better at all

@mischievoustomato @rees @dicey @condret

>I just don't see stuff getting better at all

With the current state of affairs I can't say I blame you.

But we have made some slight progress so far.

For example legislation like the surprise billing act.

that's nice, but where i live stuff only gets worse lol

It's noble to try though and beyond what effort 99% of people will do. We should appreciate the effort and not dismiss it as dumb

im not necessarily dismissing it as dumb, but I'm just jaded and tired

Well imagine if everyone thought like this individual. Everything would be great in the world. That's why we should appreciate the effort

yeag

@mischievoustomato @rees @dicey @condret

>I'm just jaded and tired

I hate to sound preachy but PLEASE don't give in.

The fact that you are on alt-tech is a rebellion in itself and proves you at some level see through the BS.

The elites designed this system to demoralize us to the point where we accept the bullshit.

I REFUSE to be demoralized.

im here to have fun + got banned from twitter and that place is boring and full of bots

@mischievoustomato @rees @dicey @condret

>im here to have fun + got banned from twitter and that place is boring and full of bots
