Should I sign up for Tumblr? I've been wanting to sign up for the site for a while because plenty of people I follow in other fandoms are on the site, but I know that users are known to take things WAY to seriously.
Eh, it really depends, if you don't want drama more than that, then no, don't, but if you're ok with some drama, then go ahead
This is mostly my opinion. Most of it you probably know. I dunno. I've never gone very near tumblr just because of how much inane silliness there is on that site, in addition to the way-too-serious people. It's kind of the basis for politically incorrect rage-reactions, where somebody posts something incorrect and then gets chewed out as opposed to politely reminded, and then the post aggressively chewing them out gets shared around the internet like it's some sort of testament to all that is good in humanity. In reality, tumblr humor is mostly people reacting seriously to joke posts, like you said. Hence the supposed "feud" between some members of tumblr and some members of 4chan. Tumblr also spreads a lot of politically incorrect ideas under the banner of real, sane, politically correct movements; tumblr Feminists, for example, are generally just two-bit hyper-aggressive young girls on the internet. Tumblr "social justice warriors", SJWs for short, are generally the more popular of its political members and therefore tend to get more respect or recognition than they actually earn from the sites other members. Not that tumblr doesn't have some cool stuff; the fans of different shows post some neat things, and even showcase a lot of complex emotions, but again they by the large are known to take things a little more seriously than the members of some other sites (just like a lot of members of deviantart are known for their staunch defense of artistic ownership, but tend to be a little fuzzy on the actual copyright laws that pertain to such things). Tumblr also has pornography, as I learned at my friend Cat's house one day when I watched her scroll through her feed, so if you're into that there's a place for it. I guess the site is just what you make it.
Alright. I'll consider signing up for it tonight. I've already known about the whole SJW's and all those 'insane' groups from one of my other friends at school, which is the reason it's kept me away for such a long time, And the rule 34, clop and all that jazz, well...I'll keep quiet about that. But in terms of fandom's, It's always entertaining. So....I'll get up a decent page eventually.

Yes get a tumblr. Yes there are crazy people on there, but I've yet to see any since I've started my art blogs in April. It all speeds who you follow and hang around. You hang around those that avoid drama then you get none. Follow people that wish to cause it everywhere, then you get it. Totally sign up yo

So, if the aliens from Signs die from exposure to water, then why did they come to earth to harvest beings that consist of 80% water? And even if they don't understand the concept of a doorknob, shouldn't they have been able to figure it out in a matter of seconds, considering they mastered space travel?
I hate how my mother keeps saying its the end of days. I would like to tell her i don't follow that archaic gibberish and she shouldn't either, but i don't feel like getting lectured and dragged to church. Atleast i can laugh with my dad about it though. Maybe they were doing it on a dare. "Jim, i dare you to go to the planet of water people and steal some." "Isn't that suicide?" "I'll give you five hundred credits."
I suppose, but it still comes down to a fundamental dilemma; even the types of activities I would be willing to do with others, such as playing video games - as a very generic but relevant example - are largely activities that geeks or introverts take pleasure in. (Not to generalize and say no extroverts like video games, but gamers are a largely introverted subculture.) And because introverts such as myself have a tendency to want to stay home instead of "going out" all the time, it's statistically unlikely that I'll cross paths with the types of people I'd truly be happy with in a romantic sense. I'm simply not willing to go out and feign extroversion, pretending to enjoy activities I despise (such as dancing) just for the slim prospect of getting a date with someone who probably isn't all that compatible with me as I truly am. Of course, people always like to say "Well, go to a con. There'll be tons of people who share your interests", but I'm assuming those who suggest this have never experienced the frustration of having to shout over obnoxious con goers just to compliment a random stranger on their cosplay. Cons, at least in my experience, just aren't ideal venues for really getting to know new people one-on-one. Good for hanging out with groups of strangers and potentially making new friends, yes, but as far as romantic prospects go, I'd be just as well off trying to ask someone out at a Slayer concert.

See, the way I see it, the whole "introvert" and "extrovert" thing is kind of... lacking as a summary of human interest. People are too diverse to be divided into two categories based on their interests. I don't think going to a con will help necessarily, but going places where people will actually get to know you is something everyone should do if they want to meet people. If you don't want to go places to meet people because you'd rather stay indoors and do other things, then the reason why you're not in a relationship isn't because you have some natural predisposition that you can't avoid compromising, it's more likely because you just don't want the relationship enough to change your lifestyle and go out of your way to meet people.
its fun watching dilly try to say how people cant be generalized, then use generalized examples. (props for trying though)
