This happened to me. You understand how I am regarding religion, very specific. My first Cancer surgery took sixteen hours and removed a 2.2 lb mass from my back. I first woke in recovery in shock. They put me back under. The doc said if I could eat a cup of Sherbet and walk I could go home. This is like three am in February. I did that. The nurse left me and my GF went to get the car. I was visited by a being of light with a feminine aspect. She placed a freezing cold heavy linen weave cloth across my wound. I could feel it dripping. I knew I would be fine. I have run through everything from shock, to memories waking in surgery to medication hallucination. It happened. No words. I am supposed to do something. Possibly I will say something someone else will share with someone in need or as inspiration. To end this, I'm split stapled and stitched across my back. I can't raise my left arm. the GF has to go to work and I took the dog down a flight of stairs out for his walk. My third surgery at Roswell. I did the same ate and walked the halls hoping to go home. That was twelve hours and around my neck. No luck on going home but the docs said hey had never seen anything like it. Take it for what it is worth. It happened.
A handful of people dragged this place down. I'm not talking about the regulars who established a community. But the clique that never attempts to alter the course of decline, rapid decline. Any community suffers the same trajectory. But this OLD should be attracting many more young scammer women, I have no clue about men. Not so. Really disgusting. On the other hand I don't really care. I feel the same way regarding completion gamers who must hit every aspect and trophy in a game. Then they go to their job cleaning grease traps at Wendies. The wider and varied the posts the more people are attracted. They may not agree and that is good. It creates honest dialogue. What bothers me is how all these adults can be so illiterate? All the great books, all the great speeches, all the great plays, and none can understand it because they have ten second attention spans and vocabulary smaller than a Chimp or Parrot. How are young people expected to respect that?
If your education lacked so much imagine how much further you would be now if you were smarter and better educated. You are like what a 90 year old women that fails to comprehend the simplicity of discourse?
Swift;s A modest proposal is far tg weighty for you to read and comprehend. So is the US Constitution. X unfortunately has raised their character limit, but Tinder is still there for you.
At no point it ever considered "this is the best I can do"? My main mantra is I can do better. This was simply a fishing test. Nothing but garbage fish. A few nice people. Not enough to maintain my interest for much longer. Just killing time until my finances settle and I understand what the equilibrium is. But it was your life to waste. One man gathers what another man spills.

Read my other reply. Basically it is the failure of everyone from December 2022 to September 2023 to attract new and vibrant users. They actually did the opposite.
Neuro Linguist Reprogarmming? NLP. Meditation too. Hallucinogens. I try to avoid that stuff. People are easy to manipulate as it is, I don't want that power.
You are saying like dozens or tens of dozens of people got banned? From a site that only profits from advertising ans scraping information to resell? I think the intelligent people drifts off. The site became cliquish. Then winnowed down to the regulars who are not seeking anything but community and a handful of sycophants. Dude even the low level sacmmers are pretty much gone. That is bad. I have personally turned in about thirty. I also see a definite lack of literacy. How does one unravel a complex social mess if one can not comprehend the basic structures and reasons for that mess? That puzzle stuff as I have said is like activity time at b=nursing homes, care homes for those of other nations. Either way I am NOT to blame. It is everyone between December 2022 and September 2023.
Not my fault it is YOURS. 10 moinths and this place died so bad even the low end scammers didn't stay. Face it you all are pretty dull. I understand a few maintain a community so this does not involve them. But if you want a victim it is your own hubris. Your own dull tedious myopic selves. One group always ruins things then drives new outsiders away because they fear change.
"I originally visited back in December. It was vibrant and alive. Now it is like a funeral service. Anyone been here consistently enough to explain the alterations in culture here? Rise of the blatant lying scammers maybe? I do recognize some people who were community regulars. Thanks"
My first post refutes your simple claims. Read it and weep, then take a good hard look in the mirror you drove off even the low end scammers.
Sep 13, 2023 10:40 AM EST What happened here?
I originally visited back in December. It was vibrant and alive. Now it is like a funeral service. Anyone been here consistently enough to explain the alterations in culture here? Rise of the blatant lying scammers maybe? I do recognize some people who were community regulars. Thanks
Sep 14 What happened here? You have been here for over a decade and not found the"right" person? How many have you met in real life? I get depressed after a week. That is every site I go to. Same old thing from the same old people. Everyone has an opinion but no one works on a solution. I report scammers and still see their profiles. It is hard to narrow down the odds if no action is taken to help with that.
Nope. I was first here in December. When I next returned I wrote a topic stating the same as this. Possibly you should avoid the Scrabble and actually pay attention to the amount of people. All old and mainly scammers. Hold that mirror up dude, because I ain't the problem. If you can't read entire book, then you will never understand. Content and context and subtext.
We’re seeing more and more science overruled by politics – in climate change, in clean energy, in high-speed rail.
But that’s a formula for disaster – like the Challenger disaster that took the lives of seven astronauts and irretrievably damaged the American space program. Given that it was recently the anniversary of that tragedy, it’s worth recalling how the disaster happened.
It was going to be cold that morning — too cold for the o-rings on the fuel tanks to seal properly. That’s what the engineers told management — over, and over. But the engineers didn’t have the final say. There was pressure from upper management to make sure Challenger went up that day (it might have had something to do with NASA brass wanting to give Ronald Reagan a talking point in his State of the Union speech, scheduled later the same day).
When one of the engineers went home the night before, he told his wife, “I think they are going to kill those astronauts tomorrow.”
And so Challenger launched. And exploded in flight.
The next time you hear someone saying the science on climate change “hasn’t been proved definitively,” recall the words of the engineer who was pushed into giving the go-ahead:
The VP of engineering was pressured to change his mind and “Take off his engineering hat, and put on his management hat.” He then told NASA that “The data predicting blow-by (of super-hot gases) was inconclusive.” NASA heard silence on the phone after that, which was interpreted by them to be a go ahead to launch.
That is counterintuitive. If someone repeatedly posts to a forum they will receive responses. How about 10k pages of SCRABBLE, or TAKE A LETTER LEAVE A LETTER? Dull as dirt and drives away the young crown you want.
Like Flour or grain storage silos. With silos it isn't only the grain dust that explodes. Air can become compressed and cause an explosion. Unreal how much crap id deadly and we never know it.
Lithium battery have a relatively small charge life. I see most Apple products limit charge to below 90%. LIONS can explode if kept on a charger too long. Ber careful. Either way they die kind of fast. Same with SSD computer drives they can be written so many times then they become corrupt. On day I'm out on the lawn after a rain storm. Gay Day in the US. I pick up this Frito's bag and it's heavy. I think rain. I l;look insole and see a cook spoon, lion phone battery and paper. I think someone attempted to make a simple fire bomb. I call the cops. They cop points out the bite marks on the battery and tells me Meth heads bite a battery if it is hard it will spark and create a fire for the cook spoon. How can you be smart enough to know that about batteries but waste your life shooting Meth?
I smoked pot back in the seventies early 80's. About thirteen years being high every day. Legal weed is like acid to me. How can you get stoned and actually function? Did you build a tolerance over the years? Really an honest question.
Very few people comment on Tesla fires or how difficult the Lithium battery fires are to put out. Then you have the price of a replacement battery and they are totaled when in a small accident. Hyundia and Kia are warning people NOT to park some models int eh garage. Escooters are banned in Paris due to fires, but my small town wisely decided to adopt them. Despite the news from Paris. And you had city streets shut down because the self driving cars lost signal. Plus that ship full of ev;s catching fire of the Euro coats. Really does no one pay attention any more? Good catch thanks for sharing.
RE: look at threds......what do you see.?????????
The older you get the less you smile. Fact.Most people here THINK old.
