    I’ve felt like an odd one out here for a while. Took a bit to realize I’m probably thrice as old as any average user here.

    I feel like maybe I should be nicer to the literal children who try to debate with me their asinine, juvenile takes, but also… I think getting slapped around a little in your safe-space is healthy at times.

      one of my cats has a safe space he retreats to, sometimes I try to pet him when he’s in there and he hisses at me

      This explains so much, as someone in the upper age brackets; youngsters baying for a learning opportunity while cutting themselves on their edge.

      Maybe I should be more forgiving.

        Sure, you can be more forgiving. But slap them around anyway!

        Meh, fuck that. Welcome them to the internet and smack them down. They gotta learn. Embrace your inner Aslan.
