It's honestly the best course of action for one's mental health
The amount of assholes I've blocked in the last year has been staggering
The amount of those assholes who are relatives would shock most people
i had to real-life block my aunt and uncle. it was always something about how dumb liberals are and “you’ll understand when you’re older”. nah fuck you, i don’t need this shit in my life.
The only reason they get to say "you'll understand when you're older" is because they have something to protect as they got older.
In other words, they got theirs. And they don't want to fucking share.
It's a shit justification.
That's always been the easiest way to distill their m.o. -- "Fuck you, got mine"
Sometimes i think of wealth disparity in terms of an enormous game of musical chairs. Maybe I'm being naive, but i at least like to think that there's enough chairs for everyone on the planet to get a seat. People carrying that "fuck you, got mine" mindset are hoarding chairs. The worst offenders are hoarding square miles of chairs. At the end of the day when the shit hits the fan though, everybody only needs/fits on a single chair. All that hoarding for something they'll never use while denying folks who couldn't get one at all.
It just makes no fucking sense to have that much money.
I'm haunted by a line from Silicon Valley. Rich people use money to keep score.
When I play online games I just mute everyone. Gaming is my relaxing time and I don’t feel like listening to people throwing around insults or being obnoxious. There is very little team strategy discussion in most games anyway.
Dota player here. I sometimes even mute people before they have said anything, simply because I don't like their vibe.
Sometimes I don't even want to deal with the friendly people because interacting can be exhausting for me.
