  • Social media is all about comparison

    Someone is happy with their doo-dad, until someone else has a different (not necessarily better) doo-dad

    Someone enjoyed their holiday destination, until they saw someone else’s edited and curated holiday destination, and suddenly, what they were perfectly happy with now seems inadequate

    I don’t gauge my happiness by what other people have, or what they’re doing

    I’ve had nothing, and I have been rich. Apart from the security that wealth brings, the “stuff” that people think is important has never mattered to me

    I have a motorbike that I got second hand that’s almost 20 years old. I bought the first car of my life (I was born in the 1970s) about six months ago, and I got the cheapest car I could find

    I’m happy

    Not because of what I own, but because of what I value

    I pity anyone who is influenced by social media, and if they’re of my age, I see them as weak.

    It’s difficult for kids who have known no different, and they have my sympathy, because I don’t know how they’re supposed to negotiate these waters, particularly when their pathetic parents can’t do any better

    It was so shit anyway

    The amount of racism and bigotry that was tolerated was fucking wild

    It seemed like every disgusting person there wanted to turn it into some right-wing safe haven

    The bitching about reddit being “leftist” was hilarious

    Reddit is definitely not leftist at all, but they’re so far right (and determined to be victims) that they have no clue what they are talking about
