I often feel like I'm screaming into the void online, I have felt this way for 7 or so years, probably longer. I have my element link for chats, and while I appreciate the few who began talking with me, most fell off and the only one I chat with for the most part is @tarperfume - We speak about personal experiences, opinions, feelings, fairly normal stuff, although stuff that often goes unsaid in real life (speaking only for myself on that). It reminds me of what the internet used to be like, I could engage for hours with many people, and they would be more consistent, although people have always disappeared randomly online without explanation, I feel like it used to happen less. People would post consistently on their little chan boards but now everyone is so scared (rightfully so, since everyone just lets bad people get away with a lot these days, good luck not being crimed in some way or another whether it be defrauding through false advertising or full on murdered by a stranger) that they keep their little scared mouths shut. Too afraid to share any opinion that isn't a generalized platitude. The levels of autism in young adults is staggering, idk how they function, they all look so emotionally exhausted, smiles are rare, and I wonder to myself if they're actually doing anything to fight against the corruption of the world (doubtful) or if they've resigned themselves to being a slave (more likely) and are very depressed about that. I wish I could Fight Club these people and wake them the fuck up.
