    It doesn’t have to be something everyone is watching… I had twitter for maybe 2 days before deleting it because somehow this fuckin Matt Walsh clown got served up to me. He was crying about how Drew Barrymore had a trans person on her show. He had like 40k likes on it. How the fuck do you make a living looking for things on tv to be mad about, and why is anyone cheering him on. That’s deranged. CHANGE THE FUCKIN CHANNEL YOU WORTHLESS STOOGE!

      How the fuck do you make a living looking for things on tv to be mad about, and why is anyone cheering him on.

      Spoken like you must not be recovering from a childhood in a conservative home, lol.

      Finding things to be mad about, is living. It is as natural as breathing. Like breathing, you don’t notice you’re doing it unless you notice you’re doing it. It is what you think about when you plan your day and what makes you open your mouth to socialize with other people. It strongly informs your personality, your social circles, and your hobbies.

      Just be careful you don’t accidentally spend years wrenching your brain out of the negativity malaise, or you might start to do dumb things like being content with what you have, working less, wasting time on rewarding hobbies, or doing nice things for people without expecting something in return. People you aren’t even related to! Could you imagine??

      Of course up above when I say things to be “mad about,” that could also mean “afraid of or confused about, but I am tough and strong and not scared of things and don’t have wussy feminine emotions and so I’m mad rawr!”

      Edit to add: I’m being tough on conservatives because they deserve it, but being addicted to outrage (along with all your favorite psychological biases and logical fallacies) is something that everybody has to be concerned with for themselves.

        Yeah, I didn’t grow up in a conservative house. I think it’s one thing to be a hate filled individual who actually likes that, and a completely other thing to be a clown pushing that as your job. He brings no value into this world.

        I would say I deleted Twitter not because it served me straight stupidity. More accurately, it was how mad I got seeing his dumb take and all the idiots cheering him on. I was late to Twitter and now I understood what others had been saying. It’s designed to piss you off.
