It’s getting old.

I get the feeling a lot of people mistake being a joyless bully for maturity.

    Yeah no shit the world sucks. But there’s a point where you have to decide not to contribute to making it more shit by needlessly hurting people who are just trying to survive like you.

        It’s also love it that when I make a post like this at least someone always assumes I’m some starry eyed idealist that doesn’t live in the horrors of the real world.

        Meanwhile I’ve been through shit so vile I probably couldn’t talk about it here without censoring half of it. God forbid I think “hmm maybe people shouldn’t be needlessly cruel.”

          doomer Be kind to your fellow human beings.

          smuglord Umm, someday you’ll learn and realize that the world is harsh.

          Yeah, the default assumption people seem to have (that it’s not possible to see that things are bad and still be kind) is aggravating.
