I am angry
A place for angry people to come and be angry about things without discrimination.
Also, a place for non-angry people to come and read and comment on angry people's posts. Don't be dismissive to ragers because I am notoriously generous with the banhammer.
Note: I say Angry People, not bigoted people. Being angry at people for how they are born will get you blocked with an astounding quickness.
Lastly: NO MEMES! USE YOUR WORDS! (Some exemptions may apply)
What if I'm not angry? Doesn't really feel appropriate, y'know?
Is it the same person getting banned and making new accounts?
If not, and this is a legitimate new account etc. Some kind, friendly advice. This level of anger and rage will not be good for your health
1stly, I am new to the fediverse, finally got so sick of reddit that I had to leave.
2ndly, it is medical, your advice has already been told to me by dozens of others and is pretty meaningless as no treatment has worked for more than a few weeks.
It IS terrible for my health, and again, as it is a neurochemical deficiency, I don't have as much conscious control over it as you assume.

Welcome to the fediverse, I’m glad you’re here.
Thank you for being one of the three people being humane in this sub. If they don't ban me by the end of the day I think I'm going to like it here.
It reminds me of reddit in 2012 and I have missed that feeling so much.
People have some fucking wild takes on here. I generally don’t say anything too controversial and still get downvoted.
I’ve been here for a bit over a year and it is good enough that it scratches the itch Reddit left. So I keep coming back. The thing I enjoy the most is that I can actually contribute to the conversation. Reddit gets so busy so fast that if you’re late to a post, you’re yelling in the wind. The low volume means your content is seen and consumed by more people. That’s pretty cool to me. In fact, your post is why I just posted in the community.
Good luck and hope you enjoy.
Who said anything about conscious control? I simply suggested its not healthy.
You have an underlying medical condition which causes you to have no control over your anger or frustration. I understand that.
There’s a difference between a medical doctor and a therapist. I found my personal issues were understood and helped by seeing a professional therapist. Doctors just threw medication at me which did nothing
Oh, you're one of THOSE asshats.
Firstly, I already see a therapist and have been for years.
Secondly, it's a neurotransmitter deficiency, no amount of talking to someone is going to change my serotonin levels to anywhere close to normal ranges.
This is a teachable moment.
Stop and think, I've mentioned that I've struggled with this for decades, do you actually think that I would have gone through all of that and not exhausted every surface level option?
Best case, you're legit trying to help with your twitter level advice.
Worst case, you enjoy manipulating people online and do this for kicks.
And I'm leaning heavy towards the latter. In any case, at least explain to me how you came to the conclusion that I had not had a therapist.
ok dokey.
With that attitude, you will never get help, you will never change. Good luck on your journey. It is unfortunate you are resistant to literally anything.
Enjoy your rage echo chamber.
I expect your reply to be “banned”.
I have been passed around from field expert to field expert for most of my life, therapy, medication, meditation, physical therapy, and none of them have provided a working solution.
They HAVE on the other hand kept me from doing several truly stupid and life destroying things, and that's why I continue to pursue ever avenue available. There's no relief from the anger, from the tension and high blood pressure, but at least I know myself not to buy a gun or carry a pocket knife, and it was therapy and meditation that taught me that.
I wish just once one of you sanctimonious blowhards could experience 24 hours in my shoes.
Do you know what it feels like to get so irrationally angry at a tag from your shirt rubbing you that you tear the shirt off while literally growling in the middle of a movie theater? Because I sure as fuck do and none of you will understand how powerless it felt to do it or how ashamed I feel when I remember the looks on the faces of the other people in the theater.
Do I consciously know that it is inappropriate to expose yourself in such a setting? Of course I did.
Did I also consciously know that the tag rubbing my skin shouldn't be a big deal BUT FUCKING HELL NO MATTER HOW I SQUIRMED OR SCRATCHED IT JUST GOT WORSE AND WORSE?!?!?
I never for a moment made a choice 'Ok I will now stand and tear my shirt in half'.
it was 'I am so OVER this TAG' and an eyeblink later I had ruined my 2nd favorite shirt and was shortly escorted out and banned from the theater.
and that was AFTER roughtly 20 years of therapy and three rounds of medication.
Face it, no matter how accepting people like you claim to be, if my disability isn't visibly disfiguring you assume it is just a mood.
I'm not banning you because I'm hoping you might fucking learn something here.
you might learn something here.
I have learnt enough. Some people are beyond help.
See? I learned that years ago. Glad to help you rip off that bandage.
I posted here and bitched some overpriced lettuce. You’re welcome
Fuck YEAH grocery prices are INSANE!
What would you like me to post? There's nothing I'm all that angry about right now that posting here would help me with in any way... Would you rather people just stopped viewing the community?
There's plenty of shit to be angry about in this world, pick one:
Rise of American Fascism, Russia getting all empire-y again, The rich are actively destroying the world so their kids have a chance that ours won't, The people's interests have been represented less than 10% in the last 5 DECADES of legislation, Ocean acidification will take 70% of sea life out of the equation in the next 40 years, ridiculous medical costs, ridiculous housing costs, ridiculous EVERYTHING costs! Hidden fees, dark patterns, underground for-views animal abuse streaming studios, slavery is at an all time high, forever chemicals are literally making us sterile, going off the gold standard fast tracked our current economic rollercoaster boom and bust pattern, FUCKING ROE V WADE WAS REPEALED?!?!?!?!?, anti-porn laws, innocent transgendered people being labeled and targeted as pedophiles, GOOGLES FUCKING ALGORITHM THE LAST SEVEN YEARS, Every online space is full of bots and trolls and NO ONE can express anything sincere unless you are pretty enough for views, methane deposits sublimating to MILLIONS of tons of one of the worst greenhouse gasses into the air, SOMEHOW A FUCKING CHILD RAPIST SEDITIONIST GRIFTING FAILED REALITY TV SHOW HOST HAS A CHANCE AT BEING PRESIDENT?!??!??!??!?!??!?, auto makers century long war against public transit making most American cities dystopian concrete wastelands, customer abuse becoming normalized, some-FUCKING-how unregulated greed went from being a terrible sin to the greatest possible virtue to pursue, 40% of the COUNTRY will absolutely vote for that aforementioned child raping seditionist, rampant proud illiteracy, scapegoating of minorities, FUCKING THE STATE OF DINTY MOORE BEEF STEW THESE DAYS!!, Shrinkflation in general, fucking oreos in specifc, scams EVERYWHERE!!, mass dieoffs of keystone species, ESTROGEN IN OUR RIVERS!, wrist slaps for disastrous preventable environmental pollution, the FUCKING PACIFIC PLASTIC GYRE, crab populations BELOW HARVEST LEVELS for 2 seasons in a row FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY!, teachers are underpaid overworked and abused by administration, Fucking drumpf crippling the usps, WHERE ARE MY FUCKING FLYING CARS?!, hidden fees for everything, MICROFUCKINGTRANSACTIONS, for-profit healthcare, EVERYTHING comes with a 30 page ToS nowadays, white nationalist militias are RIGHT NOW practicing on how they will kill us, space litter will make escaping this dying world impossible within 50 years and no one will do anything about it because EVERYTHING is about short term profits, The generational father gap from all the good men that died in WWI and II, households requiring dual incomes now, I know I said it already but FUCKING SCAMS EVERYWHERE!, the American Dream is dead and the people that killed it will die fat and happy and pass nothing on to their children, and you want to know the thing that pisses me off the most about all of this?
No matter how dire the cause, or how objectively true the outcome, every single thing I posted above will have a vocal and obnoxious community dedicated to telling everyone who feels that way that they are fools, while the world shakes around them.
This is why none of these injustices will ever be meaningfully addressed. We are in the decline of U.S. culture, and as we fall we are going to take a lot of the fucking world with us.
And it all could have been prevented if FUCKING NIXON had not been pardoned.
All you assmasters shuffle out the Harambe timeline meme because you are too stupid to see where it really started going to shit for us.
Yes, these are all perfectly understandable things to be upset about, I agree! However I see people on Lemmy discussing how mad these things make them all day in a hundred different communities so I see little point in adding my 2 cents to the chatter here.
I am however happy to read what other people are mad about and comment if I have something worth saying
Your passivity only contributes to my rage.
I guess responding to angry people is a valid use of the forum. I will update the sidebar.
I’d vote for you for president. Not even kidding.
As if they'd let a progressive anywhere near the ballot... Appreciate it tho.
Youd vote for someone who claims to have Intermittent explosive disorder, and give them the nuclear codes? 🤨
Hello, new account.
New to lemmy, not to the internet. Have some respect.
respek
Usually people encourage me to not post, so this is a refreshing change of pace.
Why do you feel you want to read our replies? Does it give you a rush? Or do you enjoy hearing other people's perspectives?
I encourage you to post
No
This is one of those paradox memes, isn't it.
Could you have at least tried to be creative?
Hey you're asking for people to post. You didn't say it had to be high quality.
I guess you're right, just that I come from an internet before shitposting. Naive of me to think that that exists anywhere now.
Bold of you to assume I'm not. I just usually lurk because of all the shit posting.
It's rare to run into other digital nomads from that bygone era. I know it isn't accurate but I feel that nowadays everyone I run into online is like 20 max...
Also, for clarity: You lurk because you like reading shitposts, or you choose not to post because everything is shit?
Choose not to post a ton since most is shit and not worth engaging with. Miss the old forum days, though it still exists to a certain point.
