for starters people around here tend to misinterpret what you’re saying accidentally or willfully, far more than my experience with reddit previously.

Honestly, this is what has driven me away. No matter how innocuous something I say is, there are a bunch of “well, askshewly” asshats to argue an irrelevant part of your statement, or start the “whataboutism” shit. It’s exhausting, and frankly, takes all the fun out of it.

That and the bots reposting reddit shit. I may as well go back to reddit. Plus Narwhal is still working…

That’s the thing, I live near train tracks/station. The fucking train honks incessantly. There are like 4 or 5 intersections that train crosses in pretty quick succession, plus the station, so they just lay on the horn for a good mile. No one pays attention to it. It’s like the boy that cried wolf. It totally defeats the purpose of it’s trying to alert anyone to anything. Not to mention the noise pollution it needlessly creates. Idk who decided that was a reasonable solution, instead of putting up the people gates, but fuck them. That law needs to be completely abolished imo.

Also a woman who doesn’t like long nails. They creep me out, especially when they start to curl.

The one who use their finger tips, make a very distinct clicking noise too.

Lake Michigan is a name as is the Pacific Ocean. Any old lake in Michigan would likely be referred to by its name or “a lake in Michigan”.

I feel you pain so much. I hope it subside soon and the postdome isn’t too bad.

I was already learning Spanish, but not having Reddit has upped how much time I’m spending learning. So yay I suppose. Plus, less doom scrolling is probably healthier.

Don’t forget, in a lot of instances, the paper was also delivered to your house. Yes, vending machines were there, and there were news stands, but a decent amount of people had them thrown at their house every morning.
