@HiTwo @dave unfortunately, i do know.

It cracked me up when he asked if I knew the word “troon.”

I had asked him previously what “groyper” meant.

All this to say, I would rather have more customers, and fewer e-tards and LARPers in my consciousness.

What do you think it is that leads to you having co-workers so invested in e-drama?

@dave @HiTwo I talk to him about boredom often; I think boredom is paired with depression for many people. I try to direct him to creative outlets, bc that is obviously his inclination. I wish he would focus on one thing, anything, and MAKE something of his own ideas. I believe the efforts would be more valuable than six hours of these ramblings, even if the result is shitty, and I think it would give him creative agency and confidence to move through the world.

Creative agency counts, and making things or presenting ideas is always more satisfying than consuming.

But why he is interested? He is interested bc it is about people, mostly, and a few novel ideas. The same way I am interested in having silly interactions with Spinsters over our silly senses humor, or over our mutual outrage. There is some connection and human recognition there.

Bigger, less intriguing picture is that the employees attracted to my boss’ business are shocked Millennials trying to find a way to be sane among degen tattletales. I had to be okay with guns, no vax, no mask to work where I work, because the owners are old school anti-government and granola-crunchy.

@Hollahollara @dave @HiTwo@leafposter.club Bored men tend to find unhealthy distractions, whether it's women or YouTube Bros, or hyper-performative social justice.
