I just think it's unfair to say something is "masturbatory" when you're using human life as your measuring stick.

You can't expect everyone to devote themselves to your idea of worthwhile work, and you shouldn't begrudge their momentary diversions.

I don't begrudge you for closely following an internet comment thread when there are people suffering.

There aren't that many synonyms to masturbatory. And I find it adequate in using it.

And these posts aren't explaining my expectations, I've already expected people to focus on dorky and trivial things, but rather pushing my political agenda.
