the 2012 trivial drivel thread

[Duchess]

Studies show that women who use the internet >10 hours per week report feeling less sad and unhappy than those who don't.

It also shows that even though conversing via the internet does not relieve stress the way a face to face interaction can, it does significantly still reduce the effects of stress and can make the person feel less inhibited to talk about subjects that they may not feel comfortable discussing in person.

The internet in general makes me very happy. I cannot imagine doing the majority of my work in person, I'd have to be on the road every friggin' day. Ugh. The internet has made my life infinitely more easy.

Conversing over the internet DOES relieve way more stress than an actual face to face interaction. Are you kiddin' me. I have no filter online, none whatsoever, I also have no tact nor gracious demeanor. I'd even go so far as to say I simply don't give a fuck what people think, why would I? I care what those who are an actual part of my life think, I care what the people I do business with think, I couldn't care any less than I do right now what a virtual stranger thinks of me & my comments.

I'm actually very soft spoken in real life but the moment I sign on it's like I have a whole new vocabulary & it's all vulgar.
