There was something else that bothered me. I don't remember what it was. Something similar to the incident at the coffee shop. I want to think about what it was. I just don't remember. I remember thinking about it just a few minutes ago, and wanting to think about it, and wanting to write about it.

what was one thing i had issues with the other day. i felt like i was being subject to passive aggressive behavior the other day, and, i really don't know how to handle this sort of thing when it happens, and it really has been happening more and more when interacting with people who work in service roles, but i. honestly. i see it more and more almost everywhere.

the issue was that, i ordered a coffee, right, and it wasn't anything special, basically, i just wanted a regular cup of coffee, he insisted that it be done as a pour over, when that was clearly unnecessary, then he said that the pour over filters had broke 3 times in a row, on 3 separate occasions, and had to be completely redone every single time.

I eventually just said that i'm sure whatever coffee is currently in the cup will suit me just fine, and that he could consider the task completed, then, he tops off the coffee with some other kind of coffee. i pray to god that the people who treat me this way, are on the receiving end of the same behavior. and i'm going to go ahead and pray, that i'm able to catch myself if i find myself being passive-aggressive in my own conduct.

i'm sure that sometimes passive-aggressive behavior is all that people have sometimes, but, i really think that when people do it to me, it's uncalled for, it's completely un-instigated. they do it to me when i haven't done anything to them. i was just ordering a cup of fucking coffee. sick of this shit. people picking on me.

You know, even though my original goal list was in paragraph format, putting it into bullet point format really isn't going to make it any shorter. it won't. I think whether a list is in paragraph or bullet point format, both lists will be equally long.

I think that one issue I had. with. I think that one of the issues I had with. the getting marked issue. was that. maybe we're all in that stage. maybe things are different, and. even. things aren't really live and let live any more. everything everyone does irritates everyone else. and we all just sort of declare war with each other.

* * *

Yeah, that was dumb, totally not even Reddit Porn. Stupid. Well. Little bit irritated. Not about the post not being real Reddit Porn. or anything, just about miscellaneous other things.

* * *

In many ways also. I think that there is a reason that many people stick to certain platforms and stay away from others. Some of these platforms are really. I don't know. Kind of a garbage.

* * *

I think that many of the content moderation policies on user generated content platforms are unnecessarily broad and many of those policies can be construed to take down any kind of content whatsoever: there's a point where algorithmic curation or direct curation begin to dilute authenticity.

I think that many of the content moderation policies on user generated content platforms are unnecessarily broad and many of those policies can be construed to take down any kind of content whatsoever.

I'm going to suggest that many of the content moderation policies on nearly every user generated content platform is unnecessarily broad. Many of them can be construed to take down any kind of content whatsoever.
