  • People often focus their anger at anything but its object to avoid feeling impotent… you know, like when people are having a bad day and thsy snap at something random.

    Edit: it’s a power thing… you know, “if i can torture/correct/make fun of internet randos then i am not completely powerless, which is what i fear because i feel i have no power over that thing that actually hurts me. I hurt people to feel control over a hostile life.”





  • My advice is just start wherever/however your best guess is with the info you have and figure it out along the way.

    Starting is the most important thing. Not how to start. Just starting.

    When you have experienced the usual newbie pitfalls you’ll be able to know what to ask about more specifically and discover the right communities where these things are discussed, and will know what ppl are talking about.

    The second most important thing is persistence.

    Good luck.
