Even then, I just never got it. The vast majority of us are just average for our age, either finishing up school, working a shit to mid level job and doing nothing remarkable. Who gives a shit lol. I could understand feeling the need to exaggerate your shit life if you're in a situation surrounded by former peers who achieved higher than you, or surrounded by the "social elites", but why the fuck bother on a fucking gaming forum comprised mostly of the woefully mediocre.
I love that JSP and this sub in particular is comprised of people who just seen like normal guys who wanna bullshit about sports or whatever the hot topic of the week is during the off-season. Maybe that makes me sad, but this place is exponentially better than any other social media outlet I've bothered trying to use.
Very eloquently put. I feel the same for the most part. This website is essentially an extension of social media for me as I can't get my sports fix from Facebook as most are uneducated or as you would call them: "Filthy casuals".
I appreciate what jsp offers in terms of keeping me up to date with news and frequent laughs. A nice byproduct is that I've gotten to know quite a few people here quite well and have connected with them in many ways outside of jsp and even met a few irl. Overall, it's a good group of guys and I agree that a lot of people wouldn't act much different in person in comparison to their behavior. I can tell you for a fact that I'm a sarcastic piece of shit in real life just like my garbage posts that you see here daily.
Never seen a reason to embellish or fabricate details of my life. I've shared many highs and lows in the last few years and really don't try to draw attention unless I just feel like sharing. I appreciate everyone that I consistently interact with even if they may not realize it.
