    So refreshing seeing those words actually used in a public setting. Suicide instead of “self unaliving”, rape instead of “grape”, etc. Maybe I really am chronically online

      Perhaps. It is kind of nice to know that a lot of the drivel we read on these forums doesn’t necessarily translate to how people behave in the real world.

      I’ve gotten way better at identifying users whose brains are “shot” from spending too much time on social media. At some point, I’ve realized I may as well not be discussing with a human; they’re walking memes.

      Even “chronically online” seems a bit euphemistic… it’s like we’re all living under oppressive technofascism.
