   Good. I'm sick of seeing that crap when I want to check in with my FFXIV clan. Of course this means they'll keep using Discord. Dammit.

   I have the opposite problem. I avoid human interaction because I haven't figured out how to get people to stop talking to me about their problems.

   If I thought the premise was self-evident, I would not have wasted my time challenging you. The review you cited covers effects of participation in team sport on physical well-being and certain markers of psychological well-being, but you c

    I say it because I can. I say it because for me, it's true. I've been in therapy for the last six months, figuring that it a more constructive way of coping with being a middle-aged man than getting a mistress or a motorcycle. You
