January 2026 Medium/Long Range Discussion

No, its complete d bag shit for the mentally ill once you step outside fantasy land. AI Overview +9 Likes and online approval/disapproval foster addiction, damage self-esteem through constant comparison to unrealistic ideals, fuel anxiety and depression, encourage superficial "gamified" social interactions, and can lead to negative behaviors like seeking validation through risky posts or becoming susceptible to manipulation, all while distorting genuine human connection for dopamine hits . Psychological Impacts Addiction & Dopamine: Likes trigger dopamine, creating a reward loop that can become addictive, similar to gambling. Lowers Self-Esteem: Unfavorable social comparison to curated "perfect" lives leads to feelings of inadequacy and lower self-worth. Anxiety & Depression: Chasing likes and fearing disapproval creates stress, anxiety, and can worsen mental health. Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): Seeing others' activities can trigger feelings of exclusion and inadequacy. Social & Behavioral Impacts Superficiality: "Gamified" sociality reduces complex interactions to metrics (likes/dislikes), hindering deep connections. Unrealistic Standards: Influencers promote unattainable beauty and lifestyle standards, distorting reality. Manipulation: Platforms use these metrics to keep users engaged, while users manipulate content for validation. Communicative Laziness: The ease of a "like" discourages thoughtful engagement and nuanced discussion. Negative Feedback Loop Disapproval Hurts: A lack of likes or receiving dislikes can be particularly damaging, leading to insecurity, isolation, and even more desperate posting to get validation. Echo Chambers: Upvotes and downvotes can amplify certain opinions, making it harder to encounter diverse viewpoints and fueling negativity or extremism. -

I guess I probably should have covered the fact too, that supposedly our friend bubbler left for a multitude of reasons. So just stop just blaming yourself. -

Dude once again, you did absolutely nothing wrong and you're playing an extremely dangerous game of internet victimhood culture with people that are truly ratchet in the real world. The internet's a crazy place man. I am truly more concerned about you right now then, the people that you're worrying that you offended. Really try to let that sink in tonight. Not one single person in this forum, is worth 1 oz of your happiness, sleep, or wellness in your tangible, quantifiable life no matter how great people in here might think that person is. I have no doubts, that the statement that I'm about to make will be met with a fair and understandable amount of denial,but the internet and this forum, is full of people that pretended or convinced themselves they were offended because they find enjoyment in your suffering and all the attention it brings them, from the like-minded mob. Their gig will completely be up soon brrother and people all over the place are standing up to it now. Be part of the solution, not the problem. Get healthy brother, I'll be praying for you. -

I couldn't have asked for a better walk. It's time to throw my beer and mustard marinated pork into my rocket, croc, full of slow fermented homegrowngrown, homemade sauerkraut along with a slow burn and a little sleep for the win. F****** A man, what a start to the new year. -

Right after I saw the couple lightning flashes , there was also a few transformers that exploded to the north of my location. My New Year's resolution is to experience a lot more of those this winter, along with a couple big ones. -

I was thinking about all the times that I posted pictures and given advice, about how well a slightly modified pitchfork works to remove Ice from paved surfaces going a way back to my Flatheadsickness days. I'm sure glad I didn't have to kill myself yesterday and I find it very satisfying watching that s*** peel right off effortlessly while others are breaking their back.
