Probably it's just me, but after 2016 and all that idiotic internet edgelord-ery that enabled and accompanied it, and the repercussions we will still feel for decades, I've lost all patience and interest with these type of 14-and-this-is-deep edgelords, especially when they're in their 20s or even older.
They don't add anything that for instance Houellebecq hasn't formulated before them, and way more poignantly. Just because they don't read literature but stew in the muddy waters of forums and usenet and other places, doesn't mean their pontificating can be excused.
- unixhero 5y agoThese types drove me away from IRC and and Computing environments all together. I met a whole bunch of them and the whole vibe was very dismissive. I became an economist and later returned to computing again. Edgelords is an accurate term for these types!
- suction 5y agoI'm going through a similar situation. I'm very reluctant to tell new people I meet that my job is internet-related. Many nontechnical friends have come to know the internet mainly as either a cesspool of disturbed people, or a silly pastime for kids with an attention whore syndrome - and anyone who works in the field, even on unrelated projects, is basically fueling the fire. Can't say I even blame them.
