      Seriously, can’t we just be happy about something for a few minutes?

      Well, for me, it’s more of ‘quit your bitching about everything all the time, it’s annoying as F’.

      Though if it wasn’t that, it would definitely be what you stated.

      Edit: I don’t mean to be insulting, just expressing the irritation of it. I’m not trying to diminish anyone’s opinions on any subject, just trying to focus it into the proper conversations so that other conversations don’t get polluted (see below).

        Easy to call it bitching when you have an easy privileged life.

          If everyone was stuck outside in the cold, and one guy wouldn’t stop talking about how cold it is, how long before others would start to be annoyed? Yes, it’s cold out. Yes, we’re cold too. Yes, mutually complaining about the cold can be a bonding experience, especially when we can all see another group safely enjoying their warm shelter they refuse to share. But when every conversation or discussion for months on end is interrupted by the guy saying it’s cold and offering zero solutions, at some point people are going to tell him to shut up.

          TL;DR: No privilege here; please stop bitching

          No, it’s not, not when you care.

          When you care, you want to see opinions expressed at the right places, and in the right amounts, so they’re the most effective.

          ‘Bullet spraying’ the same thing over and over again everywhere just dilutes the message, and it turns people off to listening to the message, and harms the causes the opinions are being expressed for.

          Yes it sure is! Just as easy as it is to not be a permanent cynic about fucking everything, because (and I speak from past experience I wish people would learn from here) that takes effort too.

          Consider: the caloric energy expenditure in your pointless stating the obvious above, now multiply that by how often you do this. Carry the 2. Imagine using that on something productive! Think of the Bitcoin you could own!! All the energy needed for that Bitcoin’s gonna need at least 50 seconds of fusion.

          And so: we’ve come full circle, as was prophesied.
