The more and more I grow older I think these types of forums are pure unreadable garbage.
There are nuggets of great information and wisdom here and there, but the people that dish that out aren't commenting that often. However; you have no way of knowing if a given poster- most of the posters you are reading from- have any fucking idea what they are talking about. I'm reminded of being told not to believe anything you read on the internet by my elders in the early 2000s...
Instead what I find is that I'm participating in a massive maw of negativity and panic, almost a desired state of entropy and failure. I think it May Be Time To Stop Posting. I think I'll keep my head down and do my best to keep food on the table instead.
