I've been reading reddit. Mostly /r/polyamory, /r/bisexual and /r/atheism.
/r/polyamory is filled with "give me tips" and "how can I deal" and people who are confusing swinging with poly. General poly 101 stuff over and over and over. /r/Atheism has lots of religion bashing and any thought that religion is the excuse not the cause of trouble in the world falls on deaf ears. Okay. I like bashing religion, too.
But /r/bisexual is a sideshow fun house of sloppy sentence construction, inappropriate word choices and angst. Post after post of the same crap. One of my favorite bits of crap is the "I accidentally came out to ...." These are the best. In the subject, it's an accident, but in the body it's not. In the body it's just coming out to someone. Might be in the heat of an argument or coming out for the first time to someone you thought you were already out to. But, really people, none of it is a accident. Take some fucking responsibility for what comes out of your mouth.
Another thing that crops up is some flavor of "Which label should I use?" I've given up on this one. The responses are predictably the same. it might as well be an bot post with bot responses. And the bis are still whining some version of "nobody like me, everybody hates me; I'm going to eat some worms." I get it, though. The group you want to belong to doesn't want you as a member. Find a different group, for pity's sake.
A recent post had a very misplaced modifier. These are often very funny. I like word play. But just how many clowns in a row can a person watch?
