    The first question is legit - the second one is on you, either by subscribing to this community or by not filtering your feed and browsing /all.

    I don’t know if you are aware, but your tone comes across as overtly hostile and dismissive; if it’s not intended i suggest trying to word your inquiries less harsh.

      I think you’re correct, I’ve been overly cynical the past week due to stresses and I’m not good with stress.

        Hey, kudos on you for admitting it instead of continuing with the hostile tone. Self reflection like this should be more common, I think it would defuse a lot of tense situations.

        Its natural that we react with aggression (or flight or freeze) when under pressure. Our monkey brains translate modern life all too easily into a mortal threat. And to be honest, my own brain translates a medium filled train car into the equivalent of a stampede, so i’ve been there more often than i’m comfortable with. No harm done; in the end, it’s just a internet forum.

        Take care of yourself, ok?
