I'm Too Old For This
You youngin's holding onto your new age Eckhart Tolle "live in the now" Aleister Crowley regurgitated belief systems and rah rah sycophant always positive philosophies (so long as the handouts are still being raked in), all while rewarding, if not exalting, people with a complete disregard for human decency amaze me and give me pause to think ... what in the $@#! happened to this world?!
Back In My Day
During my heyday, people were able to speak their mind, so long as they did so with respect and allowed others to voice their opinion as well. Everyone was different, and that's what made each individual interesting. Nowadays, it seems most people just want to be like everyone else and fit in. Don't rock the boat, else you won't get your reward! It's like being in a Kindergarten class full of 20-30 somethings.
This younger generation seems to worry more about figuring out how to make themselves into a Gawd, while at the same time arguing over which psychopathic authoritarian they are going to vote for as their supreme leader. They do more thinking about who to vote for to control their lives than they do how they are going to survive on their own for the next 40 years or more.
Which one of these "leaders" (and I must quote that) is going to do more for me, seems to be the biggest question of younger generations. While at the same time they hold onto the belief that everything was created just for them and everyone else is merely a part of them; their own personal sock puppets of pleasure who must reward them when they do something they consider to be worthwhile.
Vaporware Is Skeery
One of my biggest disappointments in this community came when @stellabelle, the person with the highest reputation on the site, made a post about an announced feature she liked in another decentralized blogging platform that doesn't even exist.
The horror!
Many were quick to point out that the other platform was "vaporware", yet felt so threatened by her post about this "vaporware" that they created fictional stories to apparently discredit her. Others jumped on the bandwagon at every chance in the comments section. For what? For pointing out an announced feature in "vaporware"? Some even called this apparent "vaporware" a "competitor"!?
Faith No More
This says a lot about the faith these people actually have in Steemit. The fact that a piece of "vaporware" can be considered a "competitor" to Steemit, along with the fact that these people feel threatened by this "vaporware" would make Leon Festinger roll over in his grave; because he's dead ... just like this generations ability to debate on a topic without their favorite psychology book in front of them to fashion a response from someone else's thoughts.
We even have one of the largest whales on Steemit flagging comments that dare mention a non-existent "competitor" or anyone saying anything that, in their mind, is considered "divisive" to the community. A flag from this person will all but hide a comment from anyone's view without seeking it out at the bottom of the page.
In Muh Safe Space
So much for being a place to discuss anything openly. And yet, people here complain about Facebook and Reddit, yet I can mention Facebook all day on Reddit, and vice versa, and never have to worry that my comment will be hidden by a single individual. Even worse, Facebook and Reddit are some of the most censored platforms in existence.
Put that in your hash pipe and smoke it!
Some here are taking it upon themselves to create a safe space for everyone else, because apparently the competition from these non-existent platforms is so strong we must hide their non-existent features very mention from the fragile masses. Back in my day, there was a saying ... "competition is good", but apparently that's no longer the case.
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Here on Steemit, it's hard to find anyone that appreciates sports, guns, hunting, cars or anything that my generation considers to be laced with testosterone. Sure I find computer/programming talk interesting, but it's rare these days to find people online that can talk the 4 basic man groups as well. I've found a few, but for the most part they are hiding within the Steemit caves of obscurity.
Steemit advertises that "original content" is rewarded, yet anyone that can speak in great detail on any of those 4 basic man groups will rarely, if ever, be rewarded for doing so. There are a few of these well written articles on these topics here on Steemit, but you will be hard pressed to find one earning more than $5. Why Is that?
I'll tell you why ... because Steemit, for the most part, is lacking testosterone.
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
What Grinds My Gears
You know what really grinds my gears? Steemit. Steemit really grinds my gears. Why? Because I'm too old for this shit! And for that reason, this will be my last post on Steemit. I will be relinquishing my posting key access for this account and leave it to the younger generation of Tuck Fheman's, so they can post happy thoughts about all things Steemit and be rewarded untold fortunes for doing so. I am just holding them back.
I did my best to be a part of this generations next big thing, but generation Steemit is just too namby-pamby for this old codger.
I truly agree with what you are saying and please, please don't leave! I am a chick and I have a she shed and get dirty and build cars and swear! I make nothing on here so I just post and laugh that it gets ignored. People argue that they want change but cant be f!cked getting off their arses to do anything for themselves. Don't let them beat you. And you have a big rating that you have earned, that has to account for some credit to your interests, well I hope so, or I am wasting my time also. And I dont want to think that because if you sort through the crap on here, there are some amazing people that are doing it for themselves and are inspiring! Your post made me feel better. And if you want a real beef, try being a chick who has 'man' hobbies and see the crap you get from society, but secretly they wish they had some balls on their chest too! Charming hey!
I don 't have man hobbies, but I absolutely understand the shit you get for yours. My dad was a builder, plumber, electrition and later a computer engineer.
He taught us girls all the basics we would need as adults, from wiring a plug to fitting a sink. the shit my sisters and I get when we head into a DIY store is simultaneously hysterical and infuriating.
I'm going to follow you, heck I might even give carpentry a try, I've been wanting to build my own units for years.
Thats an awesome attitude and your dad sounds cool! Most of what I have learned is from being stubborn, stupid or desperate! But the wisdom that comes from that is what counts hey.
I don't know how to make smoothies :)
Awesome!
How abour morbid and dirty humour? The internet is a good outlet for that for women, in a world full of finger-waggers.
"she said fuck! she does things with her vagina! A witch! A Witch! Burn her!" lol
Be careful for what you wish for! For most of us its that sense of humour that gets us by! And the finger waggers have called me plenty of names, a witch being one of the more flattering judgments. As for vaginas, well maybe a story or two might make its way out.... !
There's nothin' like a big, black joke!
"The Joys of Havin' a Vagina"...maybe will write it.
Your comment is fantastic! I love you already! (I'm not gay even though I wish I was....)
No, your comment is fantastic and I love you already! Thanks! And you be careful for what you wish for also! winky face!
Fucking love you typed winky face lol
Oh you don't need 'man' hobbies to get the crap, just have no interest in kitchen, kids, clothes or gossip.. how dare a woman be a free thinker. But we're out there, strong, independent and don't give a crap about the wusses :)
Anyone out of the general mold of society cops crap. Over the years I figured that if you are getting flack its because you must be doing something right! So keep up the good work!
I usually find that most of my detractors couldn't keep up with me on one of my bad days. So, have fun trying LOL
The Best comment on this post !!!!!
YOU CAN'T LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were not friends when you started, but now we are, and you're just going to leave??????????
Steemit is now getting fun, because we both feel censored! Now, we can finally be ourselves again..
This butthole (yes i said it like a 4th grader who thinks he is cool) does this from time to time. Luckily i have seen tuck do this more than once now...and he(she?) will be back if past behavior is any indicator of the future. ;)
Dont leave, stop crying and make us laugh with your ridiculously dank memes...@tuckfheman. You know you cant leave us...you love to hate us too much. ;)
A response to elsewhere on thread where you said could wait until out of Beta. I am having a heated day, coming out more at times.
I tend to feel the important data right now is retention. The voting stuff and all the changes, I get it is important, just not as important to the majority of people we are asking to come and try out the site. The fact that they aren't earning much, I don't see as being as large an obstacle as there being no engagement.
I have a few posts on ideas. In trying to be heard, I acknowledge I have maybe started to scream...
oops
Right. We need a bigger user base.
Beta ;)
" it's hard to find anyone that appreciates sports, guns, hunting, cars or anything that my generation considers to be laced with testosterone. Sure I find computer/programming talk interesting, but it's rare these days to find people online that can talk the 4 basic man groups as well" This cracked me up!
mmm testosteroni. sexy pasta
I like dodge challengers. and a mean man behind the wheel! Let's almost die today!!!!
Likewise.. I thought of the irony of complaining about a lack of testosterone on a site where most assume it's a man posting unless stated otherwise. LOL
"She's just so...aggressive...she must have a rooster"
This thread has done a good job of showin' were the cool chicks at! Nice to meet you shadowspub, I'm Vanessa.
I totally get where you are coming from but if people like you quit then it will make the situation worse.
Which is silly really. Those who talk about freedom from the state and so forth start acting like that very state when someone says something that "hurts" their feelings or disagrees with their point of view.
Yes I'm surprised. I think I remember one car post. I don't remember very much mention at all of the olympics or any other sport. Gaming is probably the most surprising thing that is in very short supply. Also despite people's attempts to add some discussion I haven't seen very much about weight training or martial arts. Ditto for film and cinema.
I do hope you will reconsider. The place would not be the same without you. Also what will happen to the satirical comics? Please don't leave.
I actually wrote a post about anarchy and sports. If you want to know why it isn't really discussed on a platform like this, then you should read it and the comments. You'll get a good idea why.
How does staying help? It doesn't matter that he gets the support of the community. The support of the whales wins and no change has been talked about.... Period.
I've made suggestions.... And some have gained a lot of comments from regular folks. You can only really stay in so long...... I tried. Best people just start leaving.... Maybe THAT'S the message that is heard.
Edit: I will miss your presence as well Tuck..... Just agree with the reasons
Hopefully with more time it will improve.
Ugh..... I know. How long do we hang onto hope though? It's been a growing sense of frustration for awhile, and the next thing that comes us as a hard fork proposal.... Change in voting power.
Can't...... I just can't.
I think part of the problem is that things appear to move much more quickly in the crypto world so it gives the impression that things are progressing very slowly. Facebook took years to become decent and then a few more years to become complete crap. The point is Steemit is only 3 months old.
Well for starters we could wait until it is officially out of Beta!...
;)
Reponse to last response:
I know it is three months old. What is wrong though are things that every other site would have placed as a priority. Seeing an account like @msgivings..... Amongst MANY others..... Drivel constantly upvoted based on author and not content.
These are balances that can be addressed fairly easily, but what is being focused on.... Are changes to nothing that matters to a new user.
Give them time.... They HAVE time. It's the only game in town. What happens when they are not, and they're still tweaking voting?
Hey, I'm around if they get it together. i am just saying I am skeptical it will happen. I don't care how votes work, that could have never changed and people would be exactly as happy as they are today.
I'm not disagreeing with you I'm just trying to be positive.
@luminousvisions, I love what you're doing with little baby dolphin. You're rocking it. I would like to propose a section on "the 4 basic man groups hiding within the Steemit caves of obscurity" dedicated to @tuck-fheman. Please don't leave, @tuck-fheman. Keep calling us on our garbage and drawing comics and stuff. You would be missed.
https://steemit.com/trending/carreviews
I didn't mean to put it on you to seek out stuff that isn't here. The idea is that I think little dolphin will do well and that people will want to be featured. If people see a category where there is little competition or even nothing, they might start to generate it. I remove any pressure explicitly, though. You're doing a great job.
Thanks. Sorry I missed your post earlier but to rectify it I've given it a little boost.
I am also trying to be positive. Sincerely, I just don't know how long to do that for... I can keep playing along and hope. Or I can make my objections known and be vocal about them and act in a way that reflects them.
Do you think there's an interest in these "manly"posts, @luminousvisions? I hope so. People have to learn how to do basic things - no one is teaching them.
https://steemit.com/trending/carreviews
and truckers. There are a few of us.
There's definitely a growing sports movement here that a number of us are trying to help develop, but so far its primarily centered on daily fantasy sports. And I think as tuck said, people are likely worried about spending time writting for an audience that, may not exist (particularly amongst whales). That's obviously the big issue with the current steemit situation where people could feel limited to writing only about what they perceive as whale-friendly content. But I think with all the good work the curation groups are doing (and perhaps with some collective effort from members of the whale community to foster this side of steemit, if thats not happening already), things will likely improve in regards to the "man topics". Speaking of which, what does it mean if I only care about 1 of them?? *googles testosterone injections *
Tuck-fheman rants are cool. I hope you are just taking a break. I'd like to see more Tuck Comics. More opposing views. Some more Yang. Peace.
Not sure why you care so much about what other people think, but okay.
I was a college level pole vaulter and have since lost interest in sports. They wreck your body and, in many ways, are just a hold-over from more primitive times. That's my opinion and why I've had a steady decrease in interest in anything related to sports.
Guns are an interesting one. I like blowing stuff up as much as the next guy, but I also rationally consider how nuanced the topic is. Homes with guns have higher rates of accidental shootings. Stats on guns are manipulated every which way imaginable and the NRA seems to be one of the worst offenders, even lobbying to prevent useful studies on guns. I'd personally love to see more people talk about this stuff intelligently.
Hunting: haven't done it myself, but I have friends who have and wouldn't mind seeing more how to's on the subject. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if in the future when we can grow our own meat in a test-tube to consider harming other conscious beings as immoral and barbaric.
Cars are great, but the muscle cars of old are becoming status symbols for pollution and destroying the environment. Testla's are pretty bad ass, but few talk about the impact of their batteries on the environment. I've got no problem with cars, but it wouldn't surprise me if in the not-to-distant future we don't even own cars anymore, we just ride share autonomous vehicles.
What you might consider "kids these days" others might consider growing up and becoming more connected with the actual reality of the world around us. Some things which mattered before may not matter now. Other new things might really be important.
I'm not a fan of the rage quit because it seems... weak. Like someone got the best of you and now you can't hang. I'd rather it be about you and not about others. What expectations do you have of Steemit which aren't being met anymore? Either way, if you ever contributed something of value to Steemit (which I think you did, though not agreeing with all of it), the opportunity for that to happen again in the future is now lost. And that, to me, is a damn shame.
I came to the "hidden" section because of my moral certainty that you would be here in full on van driessen mode. I was not disappointed.
Upvoted for "college level pole vaulting". I literally shot soda out my nose when i read that.
Yeah - it's hard to accidentally shoot something/someone when there's no gun around. In other news: Water is wet.
What times would those be? When you're a child and you say to a friend or sibling, "I'll race you to that tree!" That kind of "primitive?" What is it about baseball or golf that makes it primitive? The competition? All of the various rules, techniques, and equipment? Just curious. I see this argument made a lot and have yet to see any rational explanation.
Yeah, but how would we shame people for not being vegan animal rights activists once that happens?
Looking forward to an awesome conversation! We're all awesome. You're awesome, I'm awesome - everybody is awesome! (Just ask @lifeisawesome. You can find his sock puppet über positivity on the trending page!)
Calculate the statistics where you live of violent home invasion and the percentage of times a gun owner reacts fast enough to prevent a crime. Compare that percentage to those of accidental injury. Which is higher? What you seem to be making fun of is a pretty rational approach to keeping your family safe. How many people actually bother to run these calculations?
I was referring mostly to the olympic games which related to tribalism/nationalism and warrior training. I have no problems with competition or sports. I also have a 37 year old body which feels much older and has experienced a broken ankle, sprained ankles, dislocated shoulder, slipped disk, torn ab muscle, and broken pedicle bone in my back (all from pole vaulting... I also have two plates and eleven screws in my left arm from a different sport). Few people do sports at a collegiate or professional level to understand the damage it does to the human body. Celebrating that is, to me, a bit primitive and also contributes to the mindlessness of the mass. It's the modern version of bread and circuses. I'm not knocking anyone who enjoys sports. I'm explaining why I no longer do as much as I used to.
I tire of false dichotomies. Unless you're a Janist sweeping at your feet to avoid killing a bug, we all mostly recognize how differences in consciousness impact our moral thinking in terms of causing harm to other living beings. Most kill bugs but won't beat a dog. It's not a simplistic black or white issue. The level of consciousness a living being has and their ability to feel pain should influence our actions toward them. You don't have to be a vegan activist to understand morality at this level. BTW, I love me a good steak and eat them often. I would also prefer to enjoy that same meal without harming other conscious beings in order to be more consistent with my ethical philosophy.
Sock puppet accounts being rewarded are certainly a problem. The @msgivings account was exposed here. Maybe this one will be also. This is a problem, for sure, but if people are voting for those posts (beyond just the whales), then it means they value the content. I don't feel the need to waste to much energy complaining about what others are getting away with. As people exploit weaknesses in the system, the system can evolve and improve. Right now, Steemit has little actual competition. That will change in the future and it will be forced to evolve and adapt or it will be passed up by other blockchain solutions.
Wow, didn't see that coming. A level head is helpful around here among those who don't know a hair-pin trigger from a PC trigger, or an injector from a syringe. Reminder - we're in beta. A lot can happen over the next few months/years.
I agree
I remember games that friends and i wanted to play that didnt release on time, then had longer betas "than necessary" (from a users perspective of course). Sometimes it takes years...yes years...to get something like steem streamlined.
@anotherjoe
Oh. hello again. Aren't you going to mention how "leadership" is only "natutal"? sigh...
Sarcasm? There are more productive means of communication.
One of them is having the balls not to be a hypocrite depending on who's wall you are commenting ...
i don't even know why I bother. You are exactly what this post is describing.
The "leaders" to which Tuck refers are rulers (they impose their will on others by force). The natural leaders to which Joe refers only set an example and are followed by others voluntarily.
Illogical accusation... not sure why you bothered either.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I like hunting with guns... and I like @tuck-fheman!
I will be sad to see you go.
Though it may not have actually involved cars, sports, guns, or "actual" hunting, grabbing a Snapping Turtle by the throat might have something to do with testosterone!
There's a whole "rest of the whole fucking internet" for those 4 groups. Oh, and I can talk e'm.... except sports cause fuck that. Shit, I'm gonna write me a post on why guns are a blast.......
But I'm gonna bitch about boomers while doing it.
good riddance, I remember you flagged my post about planting sunflowers, don't ever come back, and I know you wont because I said so, and what I say goes :)
You've obviously confused me with some imaginary person in your imaginary world.
I've never flagged some silly sunflower post of yours. If I ever flagged anything of yours it would of been the video where you slandered two Witnesses, but I went back and looked and I don't see any flags. I, like most people, stopped paying attention to you long ago.
But just to refresh your memory ...
You'd be surprised where it goes too!
Remember that conversation I lured you into on this immutable blockchain?
Well that reporter, Davin R., who's been after you and your gfriend since 2012 is using what you said in his next report on you two. I know, it's hard to believe that he's still publishing material about your (alleged) scams after all of these years, so be sure to tune in when it's finished!
I hope you get
what's coming to you... errrrrrr ... well soon Craig! :)HA.. I knew you would post a reply to me, because you have NOT relinquished your posting key.. HA!!! :)
You do realize everyone can still see your original comment right? Changing it now only makes you look even more foolish.
the edit link is there for a reason, and the reason is to make me look foolish :)
@tuck-fheman ...
NOOOOOO!!!!!!
Will it help if I tell you that today I drove a sports car, hunting gun runners, while loaded up with testosterone?
If I had known you were interested in those topics I would have talked those topics with you. Because you're my friend and that shit interests me too!
Don't go! Just take a break for a day or two and come back and make a post on whatever you want to talk about. I'm here anyways.
Shit dude, even @earnest is asking you to stay, now that's saying something!
Completely agree with the Satanic philosophies comment. It's getting tiring. "ANARCHISM IS THE FUTURE WOOO!!!" They have no idea what they are talking about. Without God there is no morality. Someone could come and kill you and your family at any time and that would just be "ok."
Which god is your morality based on? What about gods which condone and even command the very killing you're describing? Morality isn't a religious concept. It's a philosophical one. Most people don't even know where their own morality comes from.
If you thought killing is wrong, then you'd have to say that God in The Bible is a way more evil character than the one called Satan. ...Actually, I can't think of a more evil character in all the rest of human fictional literature.
All leaders manipulate. force comes later on. ofcourse some aknowledge it as "necessary evil"
I miss your cartoons :(
I will see you in the next attempt at something like this that chooses to do it right sir. Tried being optimistic, but the changes talked at being made are not changes that NEED to be made.
I have little hope of recovery at this point....
Sincerely,
also too old
I am 55 years old but I don't think that I am too old for Steemit. Sure when it comes to technical likes like programming etc I lose out to the younger generations. But when it comes to life experiences, I have more to share.
i am up there in age too dare i say it and loved your post-it was honest and original-the things that steemit stands for i hope--well it seems that your post has garnered a lot of support. i too have noticed the "generation fit in" and "politically correct" people that are honestly to afraid to be honest!
you are a shining light and example-i echo the post below that says "please don't leave" come back and visit once in a while and maybe you just might be pleasantly surprised-here is hoping and "hope is a good thing-probably the best of things" a quote from my favourite shawshank redemption.
in short we need you! i need you!
Hey. I love cars ! I actually work a bit in cars (tech + cars)
I have a 2016 Mustang GT and 1 month ago I trued the Rimac concept one (1,066 hp, 0-200kph in less than 7 sec)
Happy to write about cars! Really :-)
Are you mocking the maleness of the men on here? Who collect little coins and talk about "Eckhart Tolle"? I couldn't even read that article with the creepy face on it. But, remember Oprah loved Eckhart. I was going to flag you because I thought you might make too much money... But, then I remembered my vote won't count until 2028, no matter the marketing.
These boys made up this money. They mined this money, and they are selling their money. You don't want to watch?
I have enjoyed your articles, if I remember correctly more than one person uses this account. I wish however many of you are quitting a good future.
I have 6 monitors.
haha : )
nice rant.. almost against #ManLaw #44765, except your rant was exempt from this rule as you included not only 1 but
2 very manly examples to drive your point...
Clint Eastwood Gif and "I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT" MEME
consider yourself steem'd
Ranting is prohibited..
Blogging has always been a testosterone driven "Manly" pastime.
I'm guessing you wrote this as Brook was landing those sweet uppercuts flush on GGG face... the thought of my adolescent gloating must have been too much! ;)
FYI - GGG squeaked a win. Brook was winning but suffered a broken orbital bone. He was seeing quadruple G!
I'm willing to honour my debt though... if you agree not to quit. I had figured that if I wrote 15000 sports posts, you'd upvote them and I might earn my $5 dollar back!
All I can stay. You are valued. You inspired me to speak up on my own blog, and I would hate to see you go. I would say more, but I see a lot of people saying a lot to you. Stay with us.
And THIS post is a perfect example of why both Steemit and the STEEM coin are declining at such a breakneck speed.
There is a happy circle-jerk here of people who are in complete denial of reality. They vote each other up, their post rewards get higher, they pat each other on the back. This circle-jerk only approves of certain authors and certain topics - mainly consisting of vapid, meaningless blather that resembles mental and verbal diarrhea. Oh, and praising Steemit.
Those who aren't in this circle-jerk or who don't post about "approved" belly-lint introspection and self-praise are being ostracized and driven away.
Sorry to see you go, Tuck. There are a wave of users right behind you who are also tired of the mental masturbation and cult-like fanaticism.
We need your voice and your passion. Please stick around.
The latest post by @katecloud on her self-portrait really struck a chord for me regarding downvoting. @dantheman flagged her post because he felt it was over-valued. In my mind, this is an admission that his algorithm is wrong, rather than the people voting for the content. Rather than flag her post, I really think he should look at fixing the algorithm on the backend. https://steemit.com/art/@katecloud/a-photo-the-progression-of-a-painting-and-a-poem-by-kate-cloud
I would never say that I'm too old, but understand what you mean
In my experience, if you really care about something, you have the balls to keep doing what you care about until others show up who care about the same. If someone with the courage to keep on doing doesn't, then those who follow have no incentive.
You can be either part of the problem or part of the solution. It's always our choice.
Steemit is still in beta. The fact that it's mostly tech nerds on here makes complete sense to me. Most outdoorsmen are...well... doing things outdoors.
O M F G !!!
Look at all these damned comments .... LMAO THEY MISSED THE POINT !!!
the post dont have a fucking thing to do with guns, cars etc.
He's IS TALKING ABOUT everyone these days acting like little "Nancy Boys" running around patting each other on the back saying "Oh YOU ARE so beautiful INSIDE AND OUT !" EVERYBODY is a WINNER !!!! (/PUKE !!)
@tuck-fheman Yep Bro, I been saying for over 25 years, the FUCKING SHEEP are breeding with Lemmings ... AND THAT'S WTF YOUR Talking about !!!
He's talking ABOUT the LACK of BALLS !! not the fucking lack of guns, trucks an sht ....
Can't get a Company started or ANYTHING done because everyone wants argue about the fucking COLOR of the company Tshirt !!!
I FEEL YA Bro ... serious sadness .. can YOU dig it, THEY are making MORE cool-aid ...
oh yeah, I guess you can always downvote right ? "Because we don't want to offend anyone"
P.s. @tuck-fheman Don't quit, come hang, hit me up on chat ... dammit, can't believe i just found you !
"Read More, Reason More" ... JTS"
@tuck-fheman testifies before the Senate Oversight Committee on Cryptocurrencies:
I agree system is far from working perfect. Good luck!
Not getting anywhere at the moment here. Impossible to find anything. Best of luck.
I hear you... We'll miss you around here
Now ain't that a collage of WTF
I think if Steemit existed for more than a few months there would be more 'man' stuff. I imagine that Reddit and Facebook were pretty computer-nerd oriented in the early days?
Anyway, it's a shame that you're off, but take care!
P.S. I'd happily use your account for upvoting stuff I like, if you're serious about that.
Sad to see you going. You were my favorite Steemit personality
(Faith No More - Everythings Ruined for farewell)
Shit, man, I know what you mean. I keep my goddamn mouth shut on Facebook because the last time I voiced an opinion it caused a shitstorm of butthurt that I had to block half of my own fucking family.
I'm going to miss you if you bug out, though. I understand if you do, but I'll still miss you. Next time I go to the range I'll fill a few pictures of the US presidential candidates with some rounds in your honor,though. Godspeed, dude. :(
If tuck-fheman goes - then I go too
Thanks for keepin' it real. Yeah there is a lot of "kumbaya" goin' on. The idealism often smells of rosey coloured half-full glasses, but...that's ok.
There's a cult around here somewhere too lol
Are we going to start a Testosterone Appreciation Movement? (get your minds outta the gutter that ain't what I mean)
(blink)
You're pretty much saying everything I was stating today morning at the #general chat... And I got snapped at by an anonymous folk with poor fallacies.
This post will be downflagged in 3... 2... 1...
@tuck-fheman, I appreciate about you contribution for steemit, you make a lot of people on steemit laugh. I am non native speaker but when I read and saw your cartoon, you give "a picture" that many people understand about your opinion. As non native speaker, I really glad you draw many cartoons so you make cartoons to make us understanding your opinion instead write a long...long words that non native speaker hard to read. That's okay if you leave and go away from steemit. That's your choice , I will miss you , but remember when you leave. Please thinking again about your action, You have shared knowledge, opinion and kindness in this community. Many people still need you. okay. So farewell ! (sorry for my bad grammar and words)
I love you bro but damnit...
This is not the first time i have seen you get frustrated and say you are leaving. You did the same thing on bitsharestalk forums and keep coming back. Why make such a dramatic exit?
And why get angry about things you cant change on your own? Steempower is here precisely to incentivize people to look for solutions as opposed to giving up at the first sign of trouble...
You are better than this. Dont give up and keep doing what you lovem dont get pulled into the b.s. or when you do safely get away and focus on what you love.

I made a post for this very degeneracy but apparently sheeple want to remain sheeple. (Check the comments).
I agree with most of what you are saying about the general idea here on Steemit but some us still write our mind without caring so much about rewards. Almost every single idea I write goes against this generations' attitude, I get bashed, yet I still write.
I would write these whether Steemit existed or not. I know for the most part the whole thing is a sham but I still write for me. Not for anyone else, certainly, not for any 20 or 30 something basement teen that follows tinfoil vigilantes and "how to be flowery and positive" in life.
These attitudes come only from spoiled children and unfortunately most of them are bred in the US of fucking A.
Vaporware isn't vaporware in tell it disappears. Before that moment when the game is over and the jig is up. It competes with similar products. the fact that it's gone and people are still talking about it is stupid.
Your not wrong in general, just a couple of points you make that I would be splitting hairs to contest. I like your Danny Glover meme and for that I will certainly up vote you.
Thanks for inspiration on my next post. On to tell a story about huntin', fishin', and lyin' ex husbands lol. Ain't no video games on this farm;)
