I don’t want to discuss the incident in detail because it was very traumatic, but long story short, I had a near-drowning incident when I was 12 (technically not a drowning because I survived). I was technically dead for several minutes.

I saw nothing. total blank. I remember flashes of struggling to get to the side of the pool one moment, and flashes of waking up in an ambulance the next. then it cuts out again, and then I woke up in a hospital room with tubes in all my holes (plus some tubes in new holes) and surrounded by my mom and brothers.


by getting it surgically altered. I could never show the old face ever again.

also, moving and changing my name.

yikes



well, technically, FC assimilated Earth happened in an alternate timeline, but you make a good point about the Domino War and wanting to avoid that. So, yeah, I’d want to arrive after that ended.


oh, definitely TNG-era Star Trek.

Socialist Space Utopia where I can be or do whatever I like anywhere I like, free of need and want? Sounds awesome!

What would I do? Explore the endless opportunities!



brainwashed Fox/MSNBC/CNN people

this represents 3 different groups of people who, largely, not only disagree on many sociopolitical issues, but also largely hate each other.

just FYI

Fox is pretty far right, CNN is kind of in the middle, and MSNBC leans leftish, as mainstream US cable media outlets go


oh, I’m so glad I could scratch that memory itch!

it was a problem form another time. but, honestly, I’m so glad to be able to answer a tech support issue from, what, 20 years ago? yay!


I worked for Dell tech support in the 90s. sometimes that arcane troubleshooting knowledge still comes in handy!


It’s possible they had a dead BIOS battery, and whenever they had to boot up, they had to reset the BIOS clock, or the system would go haywire thinking it was Jan 1, 1992 or whatever the default date was.


i read through it, too. it’s pretty textbook sealiong, and I don’t see how you don’t see that. as for transparency, that’s what the modlog is for.

if your stance is to punish the victim, I’ll know to see clear of this community myself. since fostering a toxic atmosphere is your goal, this isn’t a community I want to be a part of


What you’re wanting…

it always amuses me when random strangers on the internet believe that they can read my mind and know what I want.

i said “theory” because that’s what I meant, and it has more that the one definition you gave.


curious as to why you left all the trolly comments and removed the comments from the person being trolled?

edit: they clearly are seasoning:

Sealioning refers to the disingenuous action by a commenter of making an ostensible effort to engage in sincere and serious civil debate, usually by asking persistent questions of the other commenter. These questions are phrased in a way that may come off as an effort to learn and engage with the subject at hand, but are really intended to erode the goodwill of the person to whom they are replying, to get them to appear impatient or to lash out, and therefore come off as unreasonable.

as a mod, if you’re looking to foster communities for open discussion rather than a place that will become toxic, punishing people for being targets of trolls while leaving trolls alone isn’t the way to go.


lmao, this is a theory, and this study hasn’t only not been peer-reviewed, it doesn’t seem to have gained much of any traction in the academic community in the last 20 years.

if I paid 600 college students to fuck each other, yeah, I’m going to find that one penis is going to squish out the cum from the last penis, but that doesn’t prove that it evolved specifically for that purpose. isn’t simple displacement, and a task that could be as easily performed by a dildo or fist or anything else that you shoved into the jizz-filled cavity.

don’t believe everything you find on google.



it asked me to create an account when I started up the app, then claimed I “wasn’t on the list” then had me sign up for a wait list.

yet another web browser that promises the world and delivers… nothing.

oh, look, musk made yet another stupid, impulsive decision that could have disastrous, short- and long-term consequences for twitter er… “x”



pirates supported same-sex marriage, so I’ll go with that 🏳️‍🌈


we haven’t spoken in years, and my life is much better for it. making the decision to go no-contact was a difficult one, but it was the right one. one day I’ll hear that one - then the other - has died. I won’t go to their funerals, but I may take the time - once in a while - to visit their graves on their birthdays.

to piss on them.
