Some People Kind Of Suck

If I've learned anything over the last few days, it's that some people need to be beaten with the sharpest side of a Morgenstern. Over the last few days, I've dealt with my roommate of two years betraying my trust on an epic level, and someone being frustrated with me because I talked to her like I always do, and how she encourages me to, which is blunt and straightforward. The latter ended in me verbally destroying him, and the former ended in her--much to my surprise--ignoring me. However, what I'm also not surprised about is how apathetic I am about the whole situation. I've lived my life catering to other people, and I've never gotten anything I really want. Last weekend, that stopped. I thought of myself and acted upon what I wanted, which in my roommate's case, was social justice.


I wish social justice was easy anywhere. In the real world, it's difficult to achieve true social justice because of people making incredibly bad moral choices. Even on-line, where people are much more opinionated and willing to open their mind about people being stupid because you can be anonymous, it's difficult. Not only can you just not care about your moral character on-line, but you can change it almost at will. Making a new character is going a little far in FFXI, but you can just up and get a name change and consider it good. More than likely, though, you're going to let somebody know, and that can lead to other people knowing, making your efforts useless. Even if you don't care THAT much, people like-minded to you will always be there to experience game content, even if you're all just a bunch of jackasses to each other.

Mugshot of Every Internet Jackass

The Internet is a very scary place. Some might argue real life is scarier--and they're right--but the Internet has real life by the balls in one category: a jackass who's a jackass to everybody is always the last one laughing, instead of being arrested or shot and killed.
