when and why do you come here


Posts: 5512

some of us left, some of us stayed; some of us stayed more than others. in the end nobody fully leaves

 

for me it's the fact that i dont have to introduce myself and spent a sizeable portion of some of my formative years here and also have no reason to abstain since any old drama is just that, now its gone, most people i cared about are gone and this is just me screaming into the void. where are you my babies

do you come here when you are happy or when you are sad?

You also can say whatever the fuck you want, which is good for your protest-driven tourettes.

To be honest, I come here when I need to remind myself of my goals. I also secretly enjoy the fact that I've left you all in the dust by my own metric of success.

This place reminds me of my old self, which was an apparently unfixable mess, and I can see how far I've come.

That's always been part of it. Having gotten my mojo back to channel it IRL as I did when I was a kiddo also reduced the need to seek out safehavens like SC

SC still draws me in for the potential of english-language banter and holds the anticipation of shared values with some, or some specific angle of comedy which I seek out in people, in a familiar text-format that I grew accustomed to growing up

So your goals are somehow visible on SC? And you've escaped failure by your own metric but it can still be seen here?

I find it interesting how deeply involved you are. Did you feel below, or on equal level when you were an unfixable mess? I don't remember you clearly enough to understand what a mess you were. I feel we never interacted

Theyre not, though I talked about them, but I recall old self on SC when I come here as a matter of fact. Its how my brain is wired.

Involved, really?
 
I felt below. I was suicidal, without a home, and Physics was the only thing I had going for me in my life. Now I have a beautiful wife, I hunt antelopes with my tribe, and I am highly successful in what I do, Physics, and am loved. I am likely in the top 0.0001% of smartest humans on Earth.

Engaged, invested.. Does it surprise you that I note this about you?

You seem very skilled at what you do and I am certain those antelopes or lions can die proudly knowing such a skilled apex predator was the one to take them down. I can imagine the feast they must be throwing in Antelope Walhallah!

I should have worded it more nuancedly. I feel we never meaningfully interacted

because I don’t recall an emotional or intellectual association to you other than having seen you on the periphery.

How do you feel about it?

I remember you once convincing people that I cant be Legga when I logged in as "Donald" because I couldn't be curious about other people. So I would've guessed you'd say I wasn't very engaged.

Last night, we danced to the full moon and ate cakes. We call them "moon cakes". Then we took out our binoculars and tried to see if we could spot the moon princess.

Walhallah is more Swedish thing. Here in Cape Town in our tribe we see antelope as participants in the world's origin. I guess its similar to Kalevala.

So what do you want to interact about then? Lets interact, meaningfully.
