A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

It's one of my rules of thumb for life that people never state the obvious, except about the weather. People who are soft-hearted, cute and kind never have to say it, because they show it by being soft-hearted, cute and kind. The only reason to say it is because it's not obvious (read: not actually true). It saves a lot of time and grief once you realize the pattern, because you can cut such people out of your life when they make the claim rather than wait to find out the truth.
As to why people are hard-hearted, ugly and mean, well, best explanation that I've heard is that it's due to a deep self-hatred and fear of not being good enough, so they constantly need to tear other people down so that they can feel like they're better than somebody.
