Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I think you're right on the money in terms of relating the Internet to the car. It's so similar. Like, why am I calling the person in front of me an asshole for cutting me off? I've done that a million times to others. I'm just as bad as them. But because I can't see them and they can see me, I feel freer with my emotions and words. I think it's similar with communication on the Internet.
