No matter how I think about it, I just can't understand why anyone would waste time doing this
In the words of a friend who used to cheat (and now regrets it), it felt nice to actually be able to win at something when life tends to hand you so many losses.
A lot of shitty things done by shitty people seems to stem from people feeling shitty about themselves 🙁
Can't get a job, can't get laid, can't find a friend breeds resentment but instead of bettering themselves they want to make other people feel shitty too.
As a semi edge lord in my teen years I remember that feeling. And I remember how "good" it felt to watch FOX News because they were the one place that told me that everything shitty in the world was someone else's fault, not mine.
It takes self reflection and growing up to get out of that shitty mindset that a lot of people don't seem capable of doing 😕
But is it really a win?
