    On another social media site that is losing relevance by the day, I remember two guys (edit: normally I don’t assume every poster is a man, but I feel confident in this one) were getting into some argument that got personal in the “you’re a no life loser” kind of way, and one of them started taking photos of the sports cars in his garage to prove he wasn’t a loser. It was one of the most bizarre things I’d seen. Like dude had no self awareness of how foolish it made him look to think that anyone would care about his material possessions.

    It got even more surreal when the other guy did the same damn thing. Also photos of sports cars, also apparently proving that he wasn’t the loser and the other guy was.

    It was incredible to watch them both continue to insist that the other one was a loser and themself wasn’t, whilst also being perfect mirror images of one another. It was the spiderman meme.

    I interjected to point out how sad they were both being, and one of them stopped replying and the other one agreed with me and said he had expected the other guy to delete his account after one of his particularly epic ownages. I couldn’t particularly identify which ownage he was talking about.

    I don’t remember if I pointed out that my comment was about both of them, or if I just left it alone out of pity.
