    You have an average of a post/comment to Lemmy every 15 minutes over 3 months. You most certainly do not “have to” spend every waking moment of your day on here arguing with people. It’s unhealthy.

      When did I say I had to do anything? And if your job doesn’t give you lots of free time to kill, that’s not my problem.

      Also, do you think I post when I’m asleep?

        Actually no, I don’t think you post while you’re asleep, that’s an excellent point.

        When I take away 8 hours a day you would spend sleeping, it’s actually less than 10 minutes between posts on average.

        Thanks for correcting my oversight.

        I’m also working right now, I just don’t spend an unhealthy amount of time using Lemmy.

          And you got your medical degree from where?

          I mean since you’re talking about health… by the way, speaking of health, I’m semi-disabled because of it, which is another reason I post so much. So I’m already not healthy.

          Not that you give a shit. You’re not actually interested in me beyond telling me how awful I am.

            I don’t need a medical degree to know that spending all day long arguing with people online is not healthy, other people with medical degrees have already studied and proven that.

            I also don’t need a medical degree to know that your mental health can decline from an unhealthy behavior even if you already have another ailment (or disability even), not sure where you got that from. It’s not like there are only two states of “healthy” and “unhealthy”.

            I didn’t say you’re awful, I said you’re engaging in an unhealthy behavior.

              Guess it’s good I don’t spend “all day long arguing with people online.” That would be false.

              And, again, I am unhealthy. I have trigeminal neuralgia, (aka the suicide disease) and, due to an ulcer, I haven’t had a morsel of food in my stomach for five weeks now. So frankly, the fact that I haven’t thrown myself in front of a bus right now is pretty fucking mentally healthy thank you very much.

              Now, any more pop psychiatry or are you done?

              By the way, you didn’t have to say I’m awful. I can read between the lines. I guess you think I’m stupid as well as unhealthy.

                I don’t think I implied either of those things, but it’s fine, I’ll be done now. I don’t want to be an enabler for you any more than I already have here.

                  You absolutely implied them. And your being intentionally obtuse about it is pretty fucking transparent. But good. I’m glad you won’t “enable” me any more because I don’t need to deal with people being jerks to me.
