This one really rings true. It's increasingly more awkward because of all the le prestige forum veterans who act like hot stuff just because they've been around longer than everyone else, and you get this with pretty much every online community. They're only relevant solely on the merit that they've been here forever and they aren't afraid to exploit the automatic credibility they get for it and come off as extremely jaded and misanthropic.

actually, i should've written that in the past tense. i'm too tired and too busy to waste time arguing when i could be doing more productive or more entertaining things. getting riled up is a real waste of energy and there's really no true "satisfaction" from "winning" an "argument" anyway.

i'd rather just chill with you guys than stuff about politics these days
