Life is too short to be indecisive on what you want to do in life. I think that the 30s are really the period in your life where you have to maybe consider deciding where your life is to go. How you want it to be, where you want it to be, and such. Some people figure it out far earlier than others. Some people still are trying to figure it out.

All I'm simply saying is wherever and however you want life to be for you personally, is to not take too long. Try different things, try anything with the time you've been given. Because nothing will hit harder than being in a position in life later down the road. And you're unable to really do many things like you once did, because of the time you've taken too long when being indecisive.

Life is too short to be spending time word-jousting with plain idiots online. The most anyone may get out of me anymore is just a couple of responses. But mainly I will resort to instant-blocking. I'll read just a glance of what's said, write it off, and then block. Because I know some incredibly lonely people out there online, who want arguments to go on for hours and days.

That's not me, not anymore, because that used to be me like 2 years ago. All of the time I've burnt trying to fend off massive waves of stupid illogical people who work overtime to make themselves feel better at your expense while you're the one penalized at the end over it despite you having the moral high ground above it all.

So these days, I don't care what you have to say back to me, I'll say what I want to say and that'll be the end of it. I'll only expand if I think I haven't said enough.

I thought the idea was that the answers were to be provided by others. After all, the community is called AskLemmy, not Soapbox.

I thought the idea of questions were that they would prompt answers, not people rushing in to openly debate and bring up arguments that weren't asked. Hey, maybe you ought to ask a question on here that is open to that?
