    has it become popular to be a complete social inept? i’ve never seen so many kids that can’t handle basic human interaction as i have in the last 5 years. WTF?

      The terminally online are 90% of Lemmy’s content machine.

      I get curated stuff for free so I’m happy those people exist but yeah don’t take their worldview as the norm.

      Why are you seeing so many kids for the last 5 years? Do you have a representative sample size?

      I feel like getting a feel for how people in society actually act from memes is a dangerous game. I think the point of them is to push passed hyperbole so that people laugh at it, and then share it with friends.

      Also, inept isn’t a noun.

      I think that people are more willing to talk about it now, because mental illness is less stigmatized than it used to be.

      I rather tie my self up and pick a spot than get stuck interacting with a stranger for 5 seconds.

      Well murder risks further interaction with cops, the legal system, lawyers… Can I just stare at the stranger for 5 seconds? I could probably manage a smile.

      Wait, you’re a stranger! Look ma I did it!

    But maybe you wont stop it in time for some of them, so then the families of those few in the front that died will forever hate you for not stopping it slightly sooner.

    See, this is where you need a super hero persona; all masked super heroes are confirmed socially awkward!

    If I pull the lever hard enough, will the trolley reverse? If so - can I jump on it to avoid the conversation?
