Often I see a post I want to reply to, someone complaining about something hard, like building high-speed rail or banning cars from cities.
I check their profile and every post is a complaint.
Relieved, I don’t reply. Engaging cynics is a trap.
They aren’t seeking solutions, just pessimism.

Michele is a longtime NFL fan.
She’s irate at the Netflix presentation where it’s “just a fucking NFL circle jerk” of football insider talk and cutaways instead just showing the game.
Why the production execs thought they needed to run a podcast instead of a game broadcast is beyond me.
