There’s this idea that people are meaner that they used to be because of the internet. They’re not meaner. People have always been assholes. People are not meaner, technology is just faster. What happens is you have this crazy angry thought and then tickety tick tick tick BOOM and it’s out. And you don’t have time to slow down and self-edit and ask yourself the three things you must always ask yourself before you say anything, which is ‘does this need to be said?’ ‘does this need to be said by me?’ ‘does this need to be said by me now?‘
