Too many days wasted looking at kinda interesting but not very interesting things, all while not learning anything or enriching myself.

Some subreddits are like the game boards here

Except with actual discussion/help and not endless shitposting

Idk why CE hates Reddit like they do

I like reddit, that's the problem. It's way too easy to just sit slackjawed scrolling through /r/videos watching stuff and then realise it's 2am and you didn't do the things you were supposed to do with your free time.

I just want to use it for helpful info and stuff, but the memes drag me in deep

been meaning to ask you, what color socks should go with brown shoes?
I know the typical answer is "slightly darker than the pants" but if you're wearing shorts cause you're in the south, it's not as easy imo

How is an endless echo chamber of groupthink able to provide actual discussion on anything?

My biggest qualm is it's so damn depressing, even the "uplifting" things are depressing

/r/upliftingnews: after being horribly disfigured, man resumes life

/r/happy: after my latest suicide attempt, I'm finally ok with who I am. Here I am smiling

/r/wholesomememes: I am terribly depressed and this made me feel better

jesus people I just want to see funny videos of cats doing weird shit

With pants, the safe answer is to go with your pant colour rather than shoe colour. Grey is typically a good sock base colour with brown shoe outfits though.

With shorts, I'd have to wonder why you want socks showing at all. I'd go for no-show socks if it was me.

"Not black" is the short answer.

Honestly most forums are just full of toxic people these days. It's like the only people who have stayed around are just these desperate types who can't connect with anyone otherwise.

If the purpose of the discussion is to collect knowledge and create a hub of information reddit is basically the perfect format for that. Say for example you wanted to learn about homebrewing beer. Go to /r/homebrew for a community of people who all do nothing but homebrew with their time.

It's bad for politics IMO, because too much information from one party and too much assent is bad.

There seems to be a bit of a collective meme about being depressed on the internet right now. I'm over it myself.

This honestly backs up everything I suspected about forum users these days.

Don't read the comments on those subreddits since they're all like that.
