The Internet is probably a positive invention despite the fact that it’s often just really a visible street corner from which anyone can broadcast his darkest, stupidest thoughts. Besides those dark and stupid thoughts, there’s also a wealth of information—some of which is actually true—and photos and movies and music.
Ahh, yes, music. The great uniter. Despite Metallica’s assertions to the contrary, music has been well-served by the information superhighway. From classic symphonies to cool jazz to grinding rock to modern pop awesomeness, the Internet is there for us. So slog through the din of dark stupidity and remember there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thus we’ve reached the end of another exciting round of not screaming into the void. Sure, you’ll get caught doing it again, we all will, but remember it’s just the Internet and there’s music out there that can calm you down. If that doesn’t work, you can always go this route.
What amount of identifying with the antagonist is acceptable? I hope it's a lot.
