maybe "stalking" is a strong word, but i can't summon up anything else to describe what you said you do. how do you care this much? how do you have nothing else more interesting to do? if ever there were indication of being "terminally online," this shit's it. like woooo reddit sideshow freaks, let's read months-worth of what they post. get a damn life

I'll give you an example of how this plays out in my sad little life:

I was reading a thread on weightlifting rack pulls. The OP was a genuinely strong weightlifter for her bodyweight and everyone was being positive about it. Then one guy weighs in that reddit is full of white knights and that her form is shit and that rack pulls are pointless. I mean this was a lot of wrong to unpack in one sentence.

So I clicked his profile and spent a minute or two looking at his post history. I mean this was just fascinating. In 2 minutes the context of his original comment became crystal clear: the guy is a 50 year old divorcee who spends all of his time posting on incel and women hate subreddits. He also takes steroids and has really crappy lift numbers despite that.

I mean sure, it would have just been better to not do any of that, but remember - my life is sad and small.
