For everyone wondering where I've been:

long story short, I currently enjoy the real world more than the internet right now, for a multitude of reasons. Basically I can choose to go on reddit and hubski, etc. and get angry all the time, or ignore them and enjoy real life things. And I'm picking the latter every time, because when I log onto hubski and get three (THREE) PMs telling me how racist I REALLY am, I end up having to make a choice. And it's an easy one to make. (8BITPROTIP: it's the one where I don't have to deal with white people having to tell me SO BAD how wrong my opinion is because [reasons], and if Martin Luther King were alive, he'd probably BLAH BLAH BLAH)

But 8bit, you're on Twitter, what the hell bruh

Yeah, bitching about Frontier, auto-submitting blog posts, and debating whether I'm a kid now or a squid now. So if you wanna follow me than fuckin go for it, I don't give a shit.

Otherwise, yeah, fuck that. Yes, there's plenty of sympathy to go around for my dealings with all these fuckbois, but it's like going to your favorite bar and getting harassed by people there every week. Yeah, you'll have support and yeah you can ignore the people at the bar, but it's not the same and you're gonna find someplace else to hang out eventually if you wanna be comfortable.

Then again what do I know about bars

Mute. Ignore. Hush. -repeat when necessary. Like all corners of life, you're going to run in to assholes. I'm relatively confident that you'll find less of them here. Maybe not, but at the very least we have developed tools that help you shed the assholes.

Hang out with those of us that don't require muting, ignoring or hushing. We dig you. Like a lot. You're a smart and talented guy.

That said, enjoy your time away from the inter-webs. That's important stuff. We'll be here when you get back.
