Has your experience on Kiwi Farms taught you anything?

I guess it helped give me a thicker skin. I have more composure and patience, and I know how to navigate different types of personalities a lot better. I kind of didn't really like many of the people I met here, but did enjoy watching them and interacting with them whenever I was feeling bored and my soul felt empty. It was fun and it gave me a bit of internet confidence to sort of learn the mental workings of so many colorful people so I could know how to avoid them properly in the future. :p

I do miss some things about 2018-19. I felt pretty sharp back then even if I was an asshole. And things felt more free in some ways - even on the Farms.

-I am demon possessed
-My day to day life has resulted in making this nation authoritarian, and I need to be killed for it
-My day to day life has resulted in destroying my civilization, and I need to be killed for it.
-My wife apparently likes having sex with black men and I like to watch, apparently, which was a surprise even to her. Neither of us were aware of this, but I was told by people here so it must be so.
-I deserve to die, and I need to get going on that already.

Oh, I've learned things.

  • Even fellow lgbt and leftist are tired of the hardcore left.
  • You can only be MATI for so long until you burn yourself out. Go with the flow and have fun.
  • A lot about drugs, mental illness, personality disorders, and other common cow topics. This helps in understanding others better, and pairs with my own experiences on why someone (or even myself) acted stupid. I even learned about other stuff like babies, crypto, locations, military, fashion, home improvements, the game industry, and actual farming.
  • Armchair psych is fun! Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes it isn't. Don't get too invested in theories, it is more interesting to be proven wrong.
  • We're good at thinking our members aren't weening to cows on other sites when they probably are.
  • Some people are genuinely retarded. Some are cows, some are really stubborn users.
  • Apologies go a long way on this site. It's ok to be wrong and get negative stickers, you can still recover and learn and that's ok.
  • Normies hate us for a reason and I can't begrudge them for it. Cows hate us for funny reasons.
  • Don't become too hard and make yourself miserable as well as others around you. Don't be too soft and fall victim either.
  • There are some people who are fun to piss off. Sometimes it's nice to be disliked by scum.
  • It's boring to hear people sperg about race and jews. Anyone putting way too much importance on it (whether they're hard left or hard right) is usually covering up for something or was deeply hurt in the past. I'll bounce between being slightly racist and not at all racist after being in A&H.
  • Extreme ideologies breed lolcows. Stay educated, don't get swept up by charming personalities, the promise of clout, or your own emotions. Wait for the facts, read both sides, go from there.
  • Other people struggle with mental illness or have people in their lives who struggle with it, and unlike 90% of social media, are truthful about the ups, neutrals, and most importantly, the downs. This is the only site I can connect with others on about this, and I appreciate all who say things greatly. Reality can be bitter, but it's better to say when it is instead of gloss over it. Those are the kind of people I love to find.
  • Even hard people on here have soft insides. We're bastards, but some of us are still soft enough that we care about others and things.
  • Virgins with rage is a mentality, not a physical state.
  • Emoticons are great. :sighduck:
I do regret some of my time here and my nastier post, but I think that's part of being human. To cringe is to human, or something. Maybe I won't look back with fondness if I leave, but I'll keep the good times in my heart.

I started caring about the information I put on the internet and would it affect me in the future. I've also started becoming less MATI once I realised the internet would not interfere with real life in any way unless I somehow became infamous for dumb shit.

I've also known to just ignore retarded children on the internet that attempt to troll me.

What else? I don't know lol maybe that everyone's retarded in some shape or form
 
My enemies are all vile and disgusting creatures and my disdain for them is vindicated.

That as thorough as people are about lolcows, there are things people still don't know about why CWC did some things and the PVCC's involvement in it.
Also years later people still try to pozload my negholep or isabella someone. There's a retard born every minute.

  • Online conversations are a lot more productive when you don't constantly insert personal anecdotes and experiences. Thanks plvl rules.
  • Freedom (of speech, of choice, of association, let's not get too political) is really actually under threat
  • There are still good people
  • OpSec can always be stronger
  • Most people regard politics et al and the discussion thereof to be obnoxious, useless, and above all, autistic.
I already knew most of what other users are saying they learned here. It's a good thing, too. I've always been very focused on online privacy and security and I've enjoyed showing others what poor OpSec can result in. I mostly come around to sperg and blow off steam about politics since it drives me mad, and I'd rather put that here than spout off to people I know.

That I wasn't crazy for having different views from what felt like the rest of the internet/real world.

That people on here can be just as bad if not worse than the lolcows we laugh at.

That not oversharing and keeping things about yourself relatively private is important and people had gotten themselves exposed for being too open.

That I am a sperg and in some ways, that's okay.

A&H is poisonous and it's important to stay out of it.

Honestly after two years, what I’ve learned is that lolcows are a lot different from real celebrities. The more you laugh and make fun of them, the more power you have to be reflective of who you are as person.

I presume you mean when people try to validate their opinions via their own negative experiences automatically making them the superior person, or simply talking about themselves in general?

Some of both. Some people think their experience is tantamount to anything else including reality. I also like that no one talks about themselves in general, too, because I don't care about any other user's life and it stops anyone from making the forum a diary space.

One of my least favorite internet tropes is "I am a ______ and I know more so here's my opinion" when it's hardly relevant.
 
I think you should calm down...

Your talking like your Putin, you have a chance he doesn't

What a world we live in when you have a chance but Putin doesn't

Great times
