has the farms had a positive impact on you and your attitudes towards life? -

[kakapo]

i hope i'm not being an idiot for making this, but i just made an account after a long time of periodic browsing of the farms, and was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience as i have had. i know tons of people struggle with mental illness or maladaptive attitudes in life, and some of you have even had really bad shit happen i'm sure. for me personally, reading users' observations on some cows has really helped me be a healthier, more well-adjusted person - not well-adjusted enough to not sign up for the farms, though

seeing users post about cows who were whiny and woe-is-me types who were stuck in that and never progressed, often due to loss of hope or downright laziness and lack of attempting it, really made me take a look at myself - i was coming out of adolescence, and starting to grow the fuck up, so it was good timing. i found myself being more accepting of the hand i was dealt, and getting more and more proactive at doing what i could to recover and progress and not stay stuck in that rut. i was learning to focus on what i could do with what i struggled with, not "oh poor me, i struggle with this." focusing on what you can control, i guess - yourself and your attitudes.

i guess i just noticed that some users have a really grounded, healthy approach to life and it was reflected in their observations of some of these loons, and it really had a positive impact on me! of course my friends, family, therapist, etc played a huge part, but i just wanted to share that with you fuckers. some of you are really insightful and i wanted to give props and say thanks and share this mushy wholesome shit with you now that i've signed on to laughing at absolute degeneracy and insanity

also, hi

no

 

[Frank D'arbo]

It made me watch what I post online, to use different usernames when I'm on different sites, and don't leave breadcrumbs to your other identities.

 

[AJ 447]

hahahahaha

 

[BubbleButt]

A bit, yes.

You dumb niggers make me laugh a lot and think more seriously about my political stances, even if it seems like all I do is passively insult MovieBob and shitpost

 

[BeanBidan]

No, but i love you niggas

 

[Kiwi Jeff]

Welcome to the farms! I hope you enjoy your time here. To answer your question, I'd say, yes, the farms has had a positive impact on my life. I've gotten to meet some cool people, and learn about different cultures.

Came here to join the massive vent/outrage that was glitchedpuppet's thread and now I hang out to talk without a censor. It gets ugly feelings out of my system.

Definitely could have gone without knowing that plushophiles and zoosadists exist though, so. I'm not sure.

 

[Nazi vegeta]

Probably.
I've gotten to interact with some interesting folks here.

And welcome.

 

[Teri-Teri]

Yes. Because I met new and better friends who I could talk with.

 

[RG 448]

Yes, in the sense that when you’ve hit rock bottom there’s nowhere to go but up.

 

[chicken wings]

I'm thankful for everyday I don't have a dedicated thread.

 

[Al Gulud]

Op is most definitely a faggot.

 

[Crisseh]

LOL no.

If anything it made me realize how sick a segment of society is.

 

[PlasticOwls]

Not really. Getting sucked in on the farms is a really awful feeling, and it's healthier to make friends with real people who won't dox you for being an idiot.

As autistic as this thread is, I must confess that kiwifarms does help serve as a reminder not to ree when I find myself annoyed by something completely inconsequential.

OP, for me, no; but I understand where you are coming from, and seeing other people's cringy behavior online made me analyze my own when I was younger and depressed.

I came to Kiwifarms because I'm banned from the rest of the internet, and it's all a shithole now anyway, it's nice to not be censored by self-righteous left wing (or right wing) activists and talk with autists that don't take themselves seriously. Kiwifarms has far more diversity of opinion than say, twitter or reddit. Also, one of the last places where you can say dark or offensive shit and have it be taken in the proper context with amusement and without people taking it seriously. 4chan, etc, are shitholes and don't count.

Primarily kiwifarms has made me more regular and has given me smoother bowel movements with a lot less straining. Thanks, kiwifarms!

 

[thejackal]

it's just a message board man.

 

[Harbinger of Kali Yuga]

it's just a message board man.

Kiwifarms is more than just a message board. It's a way of life. It's internet Valhalla. It's like Minecraft for 7 year olds with autism, except we're all 20 and 30 somethings with autism instead that have secretly played Minecraft in the past but wouldn't ever admit to it..
