What's Bothering You?

Gas is about to hit $2.00 (Canadian) per litre and I'm shook. Two dollars for one little litre of gas. Time to bike my ass everywhere instead.

Our gas prices have been above $2 NZD for years now so I feel your pain lol. It's about $2.50 NZD per litre at the moment. I love paying $120 NZD for a full tank lmao /s

My patience has ran out with this hospital man. Between smart-ass doctors and them putting my surgery off, I'm mad. I legitimately felt like punching one of the doctors in the face one yesterday. It's only delaying my recovery period too :// ugghhh

Dang $2.50 per litre? That's pretty steep, I shouldn't be complaining haha. It's just gonna keep going up too.

Also I hope your leg heals up quickly!

I really don't know if I should leave that LGBTQIA+ server. I was trying to contribute to a conversation and someone said "looks like the neighbor's dog is barking for no reason again." Despite being really rude the mods didn't do anything. I've thought about leaving before, but I know those people will post nasty things behind my back. They've done that to other people who have left and I'd rather not be their next target.

I'd advise you leave that server, as it's more detrimental to you and your mental health to stay in an environment that's toxic to you.

 

[skarmoury]

im sick of people being irrational.
you guys have a brain, use your damn brain. it's not rocket science.

 

[Alienfish]

I thought LGBTQIA+ was supposed to be supportive, and I thought that enbyphobia ******* was bad sheesh...

Sadly this is how a lot of them are and unless you play by their rules they're gonna trash talk you to no end.

But yeah, Neb, I highly suggest you'd leave if it makes you feel like mentioned. That does not sound like a safe space and no matter what people are gonna talk. I had to leave a Discord server for other reasons than yours but yeah mods didn't stop that one person and what do I know they probably still talk trash but at least I feel better and I don't think of them anymore, if they feel good by hurting other I don't fuel them.

I’ve been so much happier after deleting my Facebook and Discord. I really had no reason to even have a Discord. I never used it either aside from a few times. I don’t even know why I downloaded it in the first place. If something is extremely toxic for you, l recommend leaving immediately.

I basically have Discord for friends and the games I play but yeah I don't take part in lore/fandom **** cause those people are too stuck in their lil cottages on the mountain when it comes to things, so yeah.

I do have Instagram but it's mostly cause I follow former/current Johnny's Entertainment boys and some stores. Some friends as well but I absolutely don't take part in any political or LGBTQ+ stuff since those communities in social media are the absolute worst, especially at certain ages.

 

[Shawna]

Same here. I mostly use Discord for my close online friends. I have tried using it for franchises I'm into (Miitopia, Flipline, etc.) -- but it is just nerve-wracking being in a server with a bunch of people you don't know. Especially because you never know what toxic people you can encounter on social media.

Yeah this, or a nice account suddenly turn into some woke BLM passive-aggressive account when they used to be about retro aesthetics. And they basically calling out people stop following them as racists because the account changed. Like, yeah of course people are gonna stop following you if you can't be nice and sudden turn like that but okay.

I personally think politics should be kept out of social media or content creators. I know for a fact people have stopped watching certain content creators because of their political views, irregardless of what they are. But you’re not watching for politics, so just don’t mention it? None of the YouTuber’s I watch are open about their political stances or anything controversial, so there really isn’t any drama.

Yes, or at least make a separate site/account for it.

And yeah since people can't handle it well these days, I think it's a logical stance. I mean I don't follow people for politics that way anyway, so.

 

[Croconaw]

It’s like people fish for that sort of thing, though. Even on unrelated videos, people are always coming in to say political things or asking things like “did you get the vax” or “opinions on ______??” It doesn’t matter what you say. Someone is going to get mad.

Yeah and they always pull some kind of card be it politics, sexuality etc. It's like, yeah we get you're fishing but most don't.

 

[daringred_]

the idea that supporting minorities is inherently political and should just be dismissed as woke/pc culture. it's exhausting.

also i keep waking up so cold it hurts

right after i posted here, my infamous brother and his girlfriend march upstairs to stand in my doorway again and play darts, giving me an anxiety attack and blocking me from being able to go and brush my teeth or get lunch, and talking obnoxiously loudly. as soon as they're gone, i'm genuinely taking that dartboard down and hiding it somewhere. enough is enough.

In the end of the day, those people's words/trash-talk about you is a silent water drop in a tiny puddle. No one important is going to care, or remember. It's like those losers who celebrate the fact that someone blocked them on Twitter. Big whoop, get a life. It's not worth sticking through it to show you're better than them or to avoid their trash-talking.

I had a friend who changed drastically due to the social media they consumed. I get the feeling they barely tolerated me towards the end. It was weird because we were pretty good friends and then all of a sudden they became so hateful. I supported them with whatever they decided to do, but it never seemed like it was enough? It does suck to have them out of my life, but it wasn't worth how emotionally draining they had become. The idea that anything I do or say may set them off. It's not worth it Neb. Just leave, you will feel better about it later.

I love how finding a nice AND functioning handbag especially second hand is impossible. Like if it's nice there is no zip-closing or buttons. If it actually has either of those it's ugly as ****.

Might just order one online or maybe buy a new one if I can find one at all. New ones are 90% ugly though.

It definitely is pc if one use it solely to make an account woke and far from its original content and to be able to ****post people unless they are the same.

Sure, the 1960s/70s were political but in a whole other dimension and definitely not like today.

woke is a stupid term. there is no 'woke'. it's called being a decent person. unless you know someone's true motivation for changing their account's style (which, at the end of the day, it's still their account regardless) then nobody has any business calling it "pc". same as it's completely stupid to accuse shows and movies of suddenly "being pc" and "pandering" because they decide to represent minorities. sure, their only motivation may be to make money by drawing in said minorities, but that's besides the point. it's still representation for people who deserve to see it. frankly, i'd rather live today than in the 1960s/70s where society at large wanted people like me either dead, locked up or to undergo electroshock therapy and where i would have even less rights than i do today. yeah, they're definitely not like today because at least today i can publicly exist to a degree.

Being a decent person by basically changing to the drastic, post passive-aggressive things to people and assuming everyone is a white cis-male. Yeah okay.

This account I followed used to be a nice, friendly one about the 60s/70s aesthetic, music, inspirational and all that good until after George Floyd/BLM protests they started basically doing what I mentioned above. If one is gonna represent and educate people you don't do it by fishing for a certain demographic and acting rude but yeah I've seen that's what a lot of those accounts want. It's good to bring light to issues but I think most do it very wrong these days.

That card weren't what I originally posted about either, just that it was different and I don't know why you brought up that.
