But am I the only one that is too busy with a 9-5 job to allow a lack of snow to impact my treatment of others on a weather forum THIS MUCH? There's also a ton of folks in here that seem to post a lot just to inflate their post counts or feel the need to type out a post just for the sake of doing it. I guess for some it makes them feel like they are contributing - and many are...but this place has such weird spikes of bitterness and bickering... There can't be THAT many of you on here that don't have lives outside of a weather forum... Does anyone have fun PTO or vacations scheduled coming up? Anyone going to a warm/tropical destination? What books are you guys reading? Current favorite video game? Cool DIY projects? Maybe it's that this time of year has a unique blend of football teams getting eliminated from contention, lack of snowfall, seasonal affective disorder, and these past few years COVID-fatigue...but come on... Sometimes feels like we'd be better off in winter having EVERYONE be post-limited except for a select few (I'd volunteer to be post limited myself...because I have nothing to add here that would be useful). Let's all just remember that we are actual people behind computer screens and keyboards...doesn't take much effort to 1) Be decent to each other and 2) Have a little fun. If you can't do either of those, you're better off lurking only and taking out your rage at a smash room or something. Some of you all legitimately seem like being on AmericanWx is harming you to the core. That's not healthy. It is COMPLETELY okay to step away and not post for a few days/weeks. We will be here when you get back. The world will continue to turn. You will NOT miss anything critical to your existence by living your life outside of the internet for 24 hours (or longer!).

NorthArlington101 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 No cool DIYs, but I'm in the fourth(?) month of my full-time 9-5. Girlfriend got into a great area law school -- which rocks.
