Online Discourse Gifts

3 Minutes since you totally overreacted to someone's online post

Hello, my name is riskyy@ronny5 and I am addicted to comments boards.

The Proust of Twitter

"Teleconferencing makes it just like they're in the room with us - things are unclear and difficult to understand."

'Don't bite. They're trolling again.'

Blog Breakdown

"I'm suffering the unbearable loneliness of being right on the internet."

"Honey, come quick! This guy in the comment section just solved the Middle East crisis."

"I can tell you about this article or you can just read the comments online."

"Not now, honey. Daddy's arguing with strangers about the sexual orientation of puppets."

"I learned my social skills on social media. . . what's it to you anyway you stupid cow?!"

"Thank you for participating in this poll, but because your answers do not coincide with your social media rantings, you're obviously lying."

"Whatever the politicians might decide, I'm well prepared because I've got enough hate comments for the next five years!"

"I just wish I hadn't spent most of my life reading the comments below online news articles"

Every man and his dog gets to have an opinion on social media.

"Great! Now I'm torn between whether to post rants on X or Meta."

"Bile exits the gallbladder, passes through the cystic duct, gets released into the intestines, and, ultimately, winds up on the Internet."

'I didn't know there WAS an 'idle gossip dot com.''

"You never told me what you thought of 'Wolverine.'" "I was waiting." "For what?" "For the consensus." "My own immediate reaction to any piece of entertainment could be biased. I need to read tweets and posts before I settle on a verdict." "If my view differs too much from the hive mind, it's not valid."

"The hive mind has reached a consensus about 'Wolverine'."

"If God had meant for man to interact rationally He wouldn't have given them internet forums."

"I've got about 20 pages of questionable internet comments here."

"They were my friends until I raised a controversial issue on social media."

'This is fun, Dad -- I'm in a flame war with Vladimir Putin!'

"Honey, come quick! This guy in the comment section just solved the Middle East crisis."

"He seems to have drifted from online activism to couch-based complacency."
