I think I'm getting burned out on the internet.
Lately, people are just... getting to me.
I have no problem with people lacking intelligence. It can't be helped, and it's not a personality flaw. Some of the nicest people I've ever met are incredibly stupid and/or uneducated, some of the biggest arseholes I've ever met have been super intelligent. So I don't want to be like 'I am sick of internet stupidity'.
First of all, Facebook is a cesspit. Top trending story the other day - Jennifer Lawrence wears a pencil skirt and crop top. That was it. THAT WAS FUCKING IT. And the third from top? Someone I've never heard of posing topless on the front of W magazine, which I've also barely heard of. And everything is minion memes, or inspirational bullshit, or trendy charitable causes, or complaints about minion memes. I really want to delete my Facebook, but outside of the Newsfeed it's such a perfect central point for contacting friends of mine around the globe.
I've also been idiotically reading Amazon reviews lately, and Asda ones, actually. This is an example of stupidity which is actually... well, I don't want to say malignant, but could be damaging.
Products on Amazon being reviewed, and the review is like one star out of five, 'arrived late, when it arrived it was perfect.' THAT'S A REVIEW OF THE SELLER NOT THE PRODUCT. I'm sure plenty of people, like me, don't even click on a product we're considering unless it's four stars or up, and if it's a small seller, your idiotic one star review of their delivery NOT their product, could have a serious effect on their income.
It doesn't matter so much on Asda, but their home delivery app is relatively new, so some products only have one review, and the reviews are just... someone gave some chocolate bars one star out of five because the pack they got sent was a month out of date. How is that a review of the product? Is ever single chocolate bar in every single star a month out of date? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?
