What kind of life do people like this lead where they think EVERY SINGLE PASSING THOUGHT they have is SO important and insightful that they need to get it all out there?

    It’s honestly shocking how much worse the art has gotten, considering he’s been doing it for decades: https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2026/07/24/the-leto-protocol

    I mean, this is a top 3 boilerplate response to someone sharing something boring online. Sharing is generally a pretty meaningful activity for humans. Sharing person to person is a lot better for us than shouting things out on social media but that’s the model that’s provided and the behavior that’s being modeled.

    It's boilerplate because it's still true and people STILL can't tell the difference between insightful, useful information to share, and spewing stream of consciousness like they're a junior high school student who just learned about the concept and is ABSOLUTELY certain they're about to blow the world's mind with their unique and mind-blowing interpretations.

    By the time you're old enough to be jetsetting, it's just pitiful.

    Yeah I dunno what to tell you, I’m just pointing out that it’s not much of an original insight either. Menial, non life changing conversations are perfectly normal and fine. In my opinion what’s weird is how few people are in our lives and how little time we have to talk to them, and also the giant bullhorn in everyone’s hands when they go online. Everything becomes a stance instead of just shooting the shit and getting reproached when you are too much of an asshole about your dumb little opinion. This guy chatting in the corner with some colleagues about liking empanadas more than burgers? Seems pretty harmless.

    I don't know how you get the impression that the poster thinks it's particularly important or insightful. People usually just post random things to interact with other human beings. It's no different here on Lemmy.
