Here's the thing. At some point in my life I'll move on from this online shit stirring, I'll move on from the laughing at people who live embarrassingly shallow lives online, I'll go and do something else. It'll either happen when I get the +1 pregnant or maybe when this site shut down, because at some point I'll move on, most of us on here will. I'll have my interests, my hobbies, my career and my friends, and occasionally I'll think back and laugh but that'll be about it. It's temporary.
That's why I am cool with Ralph being around in 10 years time bragging about how he outlasted us as if it is some kind of win. I'm cool with him flexing what little muscle he has in bourbon inspired posturing. Because whilst the laughs and the fun we're having at his expense are here and now shit, Ralph's stuck here mentally til the day he dies. He'll never get over us laughing at him and making jokes at his expense, which is why he'll crow a victory he never really had or earned. The most delicious thing about this whole current mess is that for most of us this is passing and temporary, but because of hurt feelings and flawed personality, Ralph's stuck here forever.
