    On comment threads, every day.

    1. Do I want to put this out into the world?
    2. Do I need this in my life right now/is it worth the time?

    This reflective exercise has saved me many excessive fixations. And yes, sometimes I do need to make that snarky overly-researched comment that nobody will see.

    Just a few minutes ago. It was a thread about someone losing a beloved pet rat to old age. I want to say something comforting, but can’t think of anything that doesn’t seem trite or cliched.

    I hate that when I abandon a comment, the annoying little “are you sure you want to leave the page?” dialogue pops up.

    A stupid argument I was having about how DND isn’t the best tool for many stories that aren’t about combat + resource management. I know people can have fun with anything but it bugs me when people are like “I do a political intrigue game about secret modern vampires in DND 5e” the same way it might bother some of you if someone was like “I put in my screws with a hammer” or “I add up the numbers in my spreadsheet by hand and type them into the totals row one at a time” or “I don’t use copy-paste I just retype everything”

    Like, it doesn’t matter but it bugs me a little.

    But I was getting down voted into oblivion so I gave up after someone begrudgingly admitted that yes different games have different focuses.

    I delete the vast majority of what I type out. Mostly stuff that’s personal experience based that, while adding to the conversation, doesn’t really matter to anyone and isn’t that interesting.

    I start writing it because I care enough, and stop when I realize nobody else will.

    Sometimes I let myself finish fleshing out the thought, then delete it, but often I just get the bulk of my thoughts out and give up when editing it. I’m pretty verbose, and don’t really have much of an outlet in real life, and I’m an anxious mess about interactions, so… it’s just a way to relieve some of the pressure without it impacting anything.

    Just about every time. Especially if it’s on my phone. I get frustrated with the typos and having to go back and fix them.
