The name reminded me of a domain I registered as a teenager, everythingwilldestroyitself.net I was pretty angsty at the time.

Yeah on second read I don't know what the hell I was talking about. The website copy is super emo and is totally prompting everyone to be angsty. I want this exact same experience but without the angsty prompting.

  You don't seem to understand the meaning of the words "angst" or "emo", at least not going by the couple of messages I clicked through on the site. "It’s been rough. I’m trying to help my husband work through his mental illness. I love him but some days I feel like he takes it out on me a bit with his moods. I know it will get better when he starts counseling next week but right now it is tough. My job is very stressful and I go back next week after two weeks of medical leave to remove an organ and benign tumor. Hoping for sunnier days ahead."

    Of course I wouldn't describe major challenges like the one you quoted as angst or emo. The "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize" reaction to my message would have been to assume that the majority of messages that I saw did indeed fit the generally understood definitions of angst/emo. Obviously the difference here is that the messages that we see are randomized so of course I saw different messages than you did. And for the record I read messages for about 30 minutes today.

  Anonymity allow people to put down the mask they wear everyday. Sometimes it's sadness, sometimes it's anger.
