People who act like idiots

[Sherlock77]

Re: Classic cars, etc...

Tonight... There is one larger and more established cruise night

There is also... A new one (kind of), a re-launch of one that happened a few years ago and had to stop for awhile, until starting again

Tonight... I went to the smaller one, took a few photos, gathered some interesting stories, etc... Had the brilliance to post one photo on Facebook in a car show group, and immediately felt like I was being picked on in the comments for going to the smaller cruise night, almost as if they feel like I made the wrong choice, which I know I didn't...

It doesn't really bother me that much, because I know I had a great evening, even though it was a smaller one... But why do people who are adults act so infantile?

Infantilism is a product of social media and mob behavior combined and boom, you are in your house, and the village idiots have gathered with their pitchforks outside and chanting your name. But you just ignore it and continue to be you.

@Aspychata! I don't need to say anything, you've covered it!

I will, however, leave a little picture related to this subject.

PS: My husband said something about praying to Baaaaaaal...

Small events can sometimes be way better than the large ones. They're often a more friendly atmosphere.

Baal it is!! If there are other Genshin Impact players on here, you know the significance!

Oh, if I had a pound for each time somebody was like that towards me online, I could retire tomorrow.

Ever had the pleasure of being on Reddit? Depends on the subreddit I suppose, but man...the way some of them behave there...

@Sherlock77, and anyone else who's been affected by that kind of unpleasantness - if you're into humorous antidotes, this sort of thing might work for you...

It's a bit metaphorical.

Some people exhibit full spectrum stupidity. Just people watch in some of America's National Parks, especially Yellowstone, and you will see much self-centered stupidity.

 

[Sherlock77]

Yup, yup, yup... And I really do have a thick skin

And it's not like I was the only who decided to attend the smaller event

 

[Darkkin]

I love the idea of stupidity as a spectrum. It might explain some of my own functional stupidity.

Reminded me of this

Like the people who fall off the Grand Canyon cliffs every year while taking selfies. What price vanity?!

At least they get a nice Darwin award to go on their ethereal mantlepiece.

K: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.”

Love that quote.

Sometimes it gives me cause to embrace my solitude that much more- as a human and not so much as an Aspie.

This quote is one of the most succinct ways to describe humanity in a nutshell.

 

[Sherlock77]

And the verbal war continues on Facebook... I'm pretty much ignoring it, still lots of negativity coming through...

You know, I was reading @Mary Terry's comment and I immediately thought of the Darwin Awards, and in the next post, there you are mentioning exactly that!

Sorry I beat you to it!

Is anybody here in the market for therapeutic fantasies? I'm happy to share a personal favourite around, that might appeal to some of you for adopting into your therapeutic fantasy repertoires, if it's not in there already: We like to imagine digging a moat around our place and stocking it with hungry piranhas. Then just a little drawbridge to let friendly folk come across.
