A-bleeping-men. The "unspoken rule" of the internet is "Follow the trends and what the majority is saying. Because if you are not, then please fuck off.". Its all about self-validation for the sake of (everything) nowadays. Even if it means screaming at randoms for minor/futile reasons.

*sigh. Back in my days, it was all about trash talking with randoms and enjoying the company of said randoms -- and we loved every second of it. It was a little, happy place pretty much.

Nowadays its a "depression center" of sorts where everything is wrong and nothing is right.
