That “rapid fire” thread is a place many people writing but not many reading
Very self indulgent and boring
Threads like that make everyone think "time to air my opinions for everyone to see" and not "time to read other people's opinions!".
I actually found it very interesting and I read every single one.
To me, it's nice to learn more about the people I'm interacting with basically every day. It's easy to say "it's just the internet" or whatever but you're all real people on the other end and that's not nothing to me.
It was neat to see how different the answers were from person to person, but also how many of the same answers popped up over and over. Jerry and Arto are absolutely beloved (and rightly so).
It was cool to learn where everyone is at skill wise in their skating, who has actually been sponsored, etc
If anyone found it boring, it's because they're not interested in their fellow pals, and that's okay too, but it doesn't mean it was bad.
It's nice to see people open up.
The most boring people here are the ones who act like they're above any modicum of sincerity and just regurgitate the approved one liners over and over again.
