Might have a text wall incoming for all of this, just to note. For the moment:
>As humans, it is somewhat unfortunate that social situations matter so much to us.
Social media has made it worse, because our identities and personas are blurred as battleground unto themselves.

I get this, if something makes you mad or annoyed, it can be hard to get it from your head. (Also, my version of that is the game Curse of War. That is if you play Tetris as a mindless thing to do while waiting for something to happen on the computer:https://a-nikolaev.github.io/curseofwar/ I prefer the ncurses version.)

>(This thread was linked to from another thread, and I read some posts here via that other thread. So I suppose I am involved with this thread. May as well jump in.
Welcome!
