Theres a guy who works at a buffet, Hoth collects shopping carts at Costco when he isnt making alts, nearly everyone who wants a universal basic income or pulls the live with roommates card or makes topics about finances or college doesnt have a degree, lives with their parents, and makes $20k per year before taxes. Theres some posters in the shadows who probably lead normal lives and have higher education, and while I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume they made an account at 13-15 because they enjoyed video games..... I have a gut feeling this is disturbingly accurate, not only of the people here but really in most parts of the anonymous web(though probably more so because there is a quasi close nit community of regulars compared to the vast endless emptiness of a place like reddit). I can't imagine this website, or posting online a lot, is healthy for one's general state of well being. There are many studies that point to this, but perhaps the most damning is the fact that the brilliant minds that gave us social media forbid their children from using it. The confession threads that appear every now and then are also really telling. I think its definitely accurate. Some internet communities its hard to tell because of the how much traffic there is, others its easy to tell because its a tight knit community of 100 ish people. Then theres some that are complete grab bags with people from all walks of life, such as bb.coms misc section. Its about 70% miserable people who are incredibly negative, dont lift, and havent seen a vagina in real life. The last 30% are generally beginner or intermediate bodybuilders who havent been invited to private forums. Hell, the mod staff includes both, a real life police officer, and an actual non lifter neck beard who creeps out and stalks girl users who lift. Its easy to tell what kind of place this is when theres threads like what did you get your degree in? And it has 7 posts. Its not like people think ha.. ha.. stupid question, Id rather get in a pissing match and mash the refresh button. No, its more likely that 7 users have a bachelors degree or above and the other perhaps 15 users were busy at work and didnt see the topic by the time it got pushed to page 6. Then theres some absolute give aways like people who talk finances and the housing market and say live with roommates. Yeah great suggestion, except that literally 99% of people in college in the US already do, and a large amount of graduates continue to live with their friends from college or their girlfriend because the rent is too damn high and even if you make good money you dont wanna piss away 1/2-1/3 of your paycheck when you could spent a few hundred dollars and have social interaction on a daily basis. Way to talk out of your ass, cats out of the bag, we know you live with your parents The internet is a tool, could be used for good or bad. Its great to learn some things and most common sense facts are a google search away, but I wouldnt let social media concern you too much. That said, this place much like social media or early 2000s YouTube comments, is a window to a world you dont want to be in. One of those look but dont touch things. I think its interesting the views people hold, like the people earlier today thinking girl streamers actually scam people who donate money lol. Helps you become more insightful and aware of the people you share the world with but dont take it too seriously, its good for a laugh or killing down time at work but nothing you actually want to invest time in. --- If you don't have anything nice to say, say it on the internet. **poster Extraordinaire <cite>EdgeMaster posted [p:913542798] in do you eve...
