#does getting dog piled by idiots affect my mental health? yes. should I stop? yes.

Sometimes I get into some really specific and niche argument with someone online and it’s clear that the other person has no idea what they are talking about and I sit back and go, “why am I doing this?” Before getting back into an argument about how bodies can be preserved at the bottom of Lake Superior, and yes it’s that cold, yes it limits bacterial growth, yes your body fat can turn into soap under certain conditions! It’s chemistry! We have observed it many times before!

And someone who isn’t in the argument is like “woah, that’s cool” and I’m just like. Well I guess someone listened. Now I’m going to eat or something.

#emma posts #I get into arguments online and I hate when I do it #i fucking know it’s stupid to argue about the preservation of a corpse in Lake Superior with a guy who just says fish would eat it #and refuses to actually read anything #does getting dog piled by idiots affect my mental health? yes. should I stop? yes. #and I’ll be so so good about it until someone starts shit about something I’m interested in and I’m having a bad day #and it gets even worse because rsd is a thing and my memory sucks so I have to dig through a bunch of shit for some sources that are #more read/watchable #and I’ll HAVE that shit but finding it is a pain #and anyone who is like ‘source’ and don’t care about an article on a topic that uses multiple good sources #and just goes ‘study?’ it’s like. the footnotes aren’t that hard to find! there are multiple sources for the single thing I shared! #and then it’s something like global warming and you have read and watched so much about it and have been doing it for years #and the shear VOLUME of everything you have read and watched just makes you completely blank out #like where am I even supposed to start? there is so much stuff!
