Trying to distract myself from having to look ahead, with anything: going hard at the gym, anime/music/games. Debating with the unhinged on reddit. Anything to avoid having to face the future as an old man with nothing and nobody. My aunt is 76 now. I'm terrified.

I have to say, and I don't mean this in a bad way at all, but I've been relating to your posts on this particular issue, more and more this past year. The feelings are definitely getting more intense.

One thing though, I'm not sure debating with the unhinged on Reddit will help though. That might just aggravate how you feel. Debating some people over the years has actually had the effect of making me more unhinged, myself.

One thing I'm going to try to do in the coming year is really try harder to cut arguing about politics online, and certain other topics, down to a minimum. I'm not perfect in this area, but I am doing better than I was doing even a few years ago. I'm on another forum, and I noticed I was falling into old patterns, so I don't debate some things anymore. If I don't like a person or their views, I just block them and spare myself the aggravation and drama, which has made my experience on the site significantly better. Getting all mad at them and trying to "own" them in arguments, just isn't worth ruining my peace. I just figure it doesn't help anything and it's time I could spend figuring my life out instead of throwing it away.

Reddit is 5h1thole. Bunch of m0r0ns which downvote you on purpose. G4rbag3 site.

However, to not make it all negative, I like Quora , Quora is really really cool " ask question site ".
 
What if a thought suddenly became self-aware: Understanding what it actually is, and thereby also understanding that when the thinker is done focusing on it, that will be it - it will just disappear?
 
Darling, I don't care. I don't think about you at night. I don't see your face in a crowd. I forgot the colour of your eyes, even though I told you I had never seen anything as beautiful. I don't talk about you and how bad I miss you. I don't remember the feeling of kissing your lips. Sweetheart I don't care about you, and your chasing me only makes my ego bigger and your pride smaller. I don't love you anymore, maybe I never did. I'm so sorry. Let me go.
 
I see my post calling out religious fanatics, racists, bigots, misogynists, and perverts has been removed. I’d genuinely like to understand how challenging toxic behaviour breaches the forum’s rules. Are these things somehow acceptable here, while calling them out isn’t?

If the problem was with the tone of my post, then perhaps that’s worth discussing, but silencing criticism of harmful attitudes seems like a pretty odd stance for a forum that presumably values decency and open discussion.

If this is the standard here, it raises serious questions about what kind of community this forum is trying to foster.
 
I think people are getting dumber and more hypocritical.....

(No, this is not specific to anyone on this forum, it's just a general statement.)

Did you ever watch - Wall - E movie ? It basically shows how " AI algorithm is programming people's behaviour ". Long story short - Wall - E did warn you and it's not far from truth. :D

Your post in the kudos thread? That didn’t belong there. I challenged it myself if you recall, because it went against the ethos of the thread.

By all means you can call out the behaviour you mention above, but at the same time, the person you were replying to didn’t need calling out.
