I feel like the one I would choose Xolotl. I am someone with has made few friends but who stands up for them all and who has been durable in doing so, and to this end have found myself opposing newly appointed leadership almost to the death.

    Honestly it was my first thought. If you’re on Lemmy in a world of Facebooks, pay-to-use seat heaters and dopamine-dispensing tracking devices, you’re probably in the same boat, at least to some degree.

    It’s ascribing to yourself the ability to predict the future far (or similar) better than everyone else, though, which is cringe. Besides making people feel personally attacked, “iamverysmart” is just a thought pattern dangerous to your own objectivity.

    Edit: I guess I just said “weareverysmart”, and frankly, I’ll stand by that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The people I meet IRL don’t seem like they’re really tracking the big picture much at all. More because they don’t feel like it than they can’t.
