I love you.

You make a valid point and I wish you’d stop being downvoted for it.

For those that might be downvoting their comment, just a reminder: downvotes are supposed to reflect the quality of a comment not your disagreement. A bad comment for example is something like “lol get rekt”

That being said…

I’m genuinely curious if there’s a place online where you find the discourse to be in anyway slanted toward the optimistic? I’d love to hang out there and after the Reddit exodus, for a while I personally genuinely tried to only have positive discourse here but I think the mood of the zeitgeist is exactly that: when the world seems shitty, everyone’s opinions seem shitty.

Do you disagree with what they actually said though?

Maybe everyone focuses on the negatives because we just did 5 straight years where it seems like if given the choice between two outcomes positive and negative, we’re living in the timeline where the negative thing always happens.

It's not. Especially if you suffer from anxiety or depression.

Imagine constantly having a (your) voice reminding you of all of the shit that stresses you out.

Goodness I hope he has enough pens.

I mean I never said Massachusetts was perfect? I’m not sure what dog you have in this fight but as far as sanity goes we’re pretty more sane than most of the state zeitgeist.

That’s a little like arguing that being visited by an asylum escapee is the same as living in the asylum.

I mean that’s crazy coming to us. If I remember correctly that asshole was from Kansas or something.

I’m so glad I live in Massachusetts. Feels like the last bastion of sanity.

Kind of sounds like the way democracy is supposed to work to be honest.

So few people understand this. It's akin to the Jan 6 morons puking about the Capitol building being "our house". Not it fucking isn't, it's the government's building. Chanting "we the people" like morons only points out that you haven't read or don't understand the rest of the fucking preamble.

They don’t have boats on your island? Sounds like a lack of conviction to me.

Kidding, of course.
