Taking Sides: Bragging vs. Complaining

In general, probably bragging. I'm so sick of relentless negativity lately that to hear someone actually being positive about their life, even if it is bragging, would actually be a relief.

it's 2019 and the internet seems to be equal parts bragging and complaining about other people

personally, if given a choice between the two i would rather read about people's successes than their kvetches. imagine what it would look like if people swore off complaining on the internet (about other people, about anything -- no complaining!) for 3 months/whatever period of time. the level of hostility in the air would be reduced substantially. maybe some plants would be able to grow on account of the additional oxygen.

The Bragging Thread

(didn't know we had this excellent resource; yr revive inspired a search)

"Shut up your dogs or I'll fucking behead them!" I screamed… and the rest of the building cheered / applauded for me.

lmao

do either imo, but be clever, entertaining or funny about it like me

bragging definitely, it's depressingly common for people to be awful, rare for them to be awesome

neither bragging nor complaining are a guarantee of fact ofc

People seem to have found a good sweetspot between the two.

have they

well in the sense that if someone fired a tennis ball at your head and it was very painful but they struck it sweetly
