i get unhappy when things are not about me???

Also, since it is alive again, I can gripe about the time last week I went a teensy bit manic and combed through the entire user list on Soapbox like a chaos goblin, to try and find some of the cool kids I haven’t talked to in ages and/or were DMing before

B A N S

and turns out, a couple of said cool kids that I had been waiting to hear back from haven’t logged in for years.

Thank you! I am just now seeing it. You are lovely.

ETA: @Meg and @sao YOU ARE BOTH SO NICE THANK YOU ;_;

(and yes i’m still fighting and being a general pissant, we just filed a shitload of post-conviction applications, life is hectic, i want to hang around here more often)

ETATA: @TNP thank you for thinking of me

edit: Or, as I put it somewhere else:

Like an earth-sized shitposting bat signal, a call to all corners of the internet that says “come make fun of this fucking guy until the heat death of the universe.”

@Sammich

Mostly a total tangent here, but David Bowie playing this song at the Berlin Wall is probably one of my favorite rock stories of all time and if you don’t know it, you totally should.

Whoops. Just our origin story.

Makes us sound like superheroes!

Whoops. Just our origin story.

@Jennkryst If discussing a non-politician’s actions in the context of a privately owned company is politics, then I have no idea what isn’t politics.

It’s not politics per se (excepting the Coin Caveat that everything is politics) but it is Real Life Important Thing That Could Flare Tempers and Tensions, much in the same way political conversation is.

Everything is politics. It’s just not necessarily partisan politics.

Isn’t that just called “Scamming?”

It’s also called fraud.

I was also briefly VERY CONFUSED about who was moneylaundering, but then I realized that by devoting thought to this I’d already lost.

I dunno about money laundering, but I do know that in the past at least one erstwhile member of our community accepted financial assistance that was offered based on false assertions made by the recipient.

Which is a convoluted way of saying someone, allegedly, lied about a medical issue and received financial assistance from another person for said issue.

I am here to make losers of us all; but also to double check that I’m too young to be going senile already.

That said… I’m getting rather tired of this “rebuild trust in our fractured community” bullshit that’s being peddled. We’re done with MSB, in general. We’ll trade information when it’s pertinent, but otherwise we’re two distinct and independent entities that just happen to be about the same niche hobby.
