And on another, but a just as important note, this is why I hardly post here, because when I do, people like this comes out of the woodwork, and make blanket statements about strangers that they don't even know, or make conclusions and assumptions because they can't/won't even read what you actually said, or just want to "rain on your parade", because they're so miserable within themself, that they have to dump their shit on others. And I'm usually a very nice guy, but I'm unfortunately also fully aware about the trope of "Nice guys finish last", but I will stand up for myself, when people cross the line, and more importantly, if I didn't talk like that to them, or adressed them at all.
But it's a damn shame, that a place that was such a blessing when my sister died, as it gave me an outlet to not think about that all the time, now has become this toxic, that you can't even post something, whatever that may be, without someone talking smack to you, or basically bullying you, something I have never done to others, as a victim of bullying myself, even by adults and teachers, like I mentioned in that post. But I follow a simple rule, and that's the one that says if you don't have anything nice to say, why say anything at all? It's so simple, yet today it seems people are unable to follow such a simple concept, but, still have the nerve to accuse me of trying to be clever, when I don't even have the need to do that, as I know who I am? It's mind-blowing to be honest, and despite being quite intelligent, I'm unable to wrap my head around that one, and how we got here.
But like I (luckily) was able to tell my sister before she passed away, as we were talking about our two previous generations dying off, parents and grandparents, I emphasized to her, imagine what it's gonna be like, once our generation has died off, and there's no one left who remember how good the world used to be, who were raised like we were, even in our lifetime, and now it's like this? So, at the end of the day, my sister is among the lucky ones, as she was gone before it gets even worse, and so are all the others that went before us, as they didn't have to deal with the worst of it, because my generation knows that it will get worse before it gets better, if that even happens, but I don't know if I will get to see that in my lifetime, if at all, while I'm still here.
And finally, my life has gone from okay to an absolute shitshow, and if any of those people I mentioned before even had half a braincell, they could just read all my posts here, as there's not a million of them anyway, and they would know exactly how down I am just by my life itself, kicking off while I was still just a kid, losing my father when I don't think I had even turned 10 yet, and most recently, at the end of 2020, losing my sister who was also my best friend and confidant, that I spoke to over the internet 2-3 times a week, and now I barely have anyone to talk to at all, since she's gone? And on welfare to boot, and the welfare office have been so difficult for the past 6 months, that I've had to resort to dumpster diving for food, just to manage? And this is who these people wanna pick on? Says more about them than me, that's for sure, and I don't pick on people, period.
But like I said, I will stand up for myself, and set the record straight, when people are talking out of their ass, but that only works on sane people, not the trolls here. And I know they're just doing it to get a rise out of people, and it is one of my flaws, that I can't keep my mouth shut, when they do, despite knowing that you're not supposed to "feed" the trolls by doing that. But I am wondering though, where are the Mods here, when these things take place, then they're always MIA, but sure knows how to find you, when you finally have had enough, and speak up for yourself, although you're just defending yourself? Then you are in trouble, just for doing the right thing, in the hopes that you are helping in fixing the problem, because it can only be fixed by adressing the issue and taking a non-tolerance stance, but I haven't seen the site owner, or the Mods doing THAT, strangely enough, so how can the situation improve, I wonder?
And bullying should never be accepted or tolerated, and if it is, the situation will only get worse, that's just a fact. And neither should trolling, or trolls, in my humble opinion. And to be fair, this wasn't the worst, what I've had here today, but what I have experienced before, has been more than enough to make me reluctant to post, something I have mentioned in my older posts as well, so clearly the problem persists, and like I said, it's a damn shame that it does. But, I've rambled on long enough now, and I have made my point, above and beyond, so I'll get off of my soap box now. And peace to you, if you're one of the members here, who's not like that, and kudos for being a "Nice guy", it matters more than you think. Best regards from Tico, but honestly, I don't think it (this post) will make much of a difference, but I would love to be proven wrong for once.
