So...you wrote a thoughtless, aggressive, explicitly antagonistic article condemning that very same behavior? And then you posted it to the same website that you feel is aggressive and antagonistic? You're part of the problem, bud.

I think your story about Ohio is interesting. You are the guy who went to Ohio and hated it before even crossing the border. You seem to have a hatred for the people who come to this site, universally condemning everyone for not falling for your baited post while you waited with bated breath to catch someone being hypocritical. You have all sorts of ideas about the people on this site, clumping everyone good and everyone bad altogether into a homogenized, hateful group. You're not any better than the Ohio-hating idiot you were subtweeting in your blog post.

Relax, talk to people. You're not going to make any friends by being the "inveterate outsider".

Sorry, bud. Didn't remember the post he was talking about until someone linked to it :/

Oh I don't actually care that much. I can be the biggest idiot most of the time.

Yesterday I fucked up a pancake, quite literally 24 hours after making the exact same mix of pancake (egg, batter, oil, milk, all meticulously measured) that had produced a near perfect circle the day before.

You're telling me! I told a girl that she had a really pleasant speaking voice. Turns out she'd just gotten sick and had spent all day coughing her lungs up. I felt real bad...

When I was on a class trip to Turkey, one of my sort-of-friends-but-not-quite-friends-not-really was crying on the bus. I noticed it and threw her a pack of tissues without saying anything, because I felt bad. She flipped out because she thought I had thrown something at her, and then apologized profusely when she realized it was just tissues.

We are all the stupidest monkeys.
