I unironically would love to read people's diaries.

If only people kept diaries.

Why?

Its called a facebook, gramps

Different thing entirely.

Not really?

People put a carefully edited and curated versions of their thoughts onto Facebook.

You shouldn't be confiding in diaries anyway, they should be a log for out of the ordianry events for future reference.

Diaries, at least in their intended use, are unedited and personal.

That's called a notebook, John.

Diaries are different.

Are you my 5th grade teacher?

Fuck you

Sorry, bud. Words have established meaning, you can't just change them to suit your argument.

di·a·ry
/ˈdī(ə)rē/
noun
a book in which one keeps a daily record of events and experiences.

Fight me fag

"Out of the ordinary" and "for further reference" are very notably absent.

Dumb bitch

Okay, but where is unedited and personal?

No where does it say you need to pour emotions onto it?

Oh, am I supposed to play by the rules that you yourself weren't playing by either?

It's okay, John. I know how you like to argue. We can do this.

Diaries *ought* to be personal, unedited thoughts written with the intention of not being seen by others. Notebooks *ought* to be more general information or recordings of notable events.

*in my opinion*.

I dunno, at what point does it become the ramblings of a madman?

My emotions dont make sense like an hour from feeling them, why would I want to preserve them?

Wouldn't that be a manifesto?

Aa manisfesto has a point, a diary is just rambling

Okay. And I would love to read that rambling. I am very interested in knowing what minor thoughts pass through people's heads. The small things bothering them, anxieties and whatnot.

I guess I have a voyeuristic streak.

Thats kind of dumb and weirdly perverted

You'll like little forest, the manga

I am aware, which is why I don't snoop through people's phones or emails when they're not looking or whatever. But it does interest me

I like hearing neighbors argue, but I don't like gossiping about what I hear, if that makes sense.

I sniff a lot of homoeroticism in this, too.

This is a girl

Girls can be gay, John.
