My long campaign of contempt is ended.

Are y'all going to try for a refound or nah?

I mean, I've got a nation there literally at this moment.
Should the desire for it arise, I am in almost the perfect position to strike (I'd need to actually join the WA but that takes like 5 minutes).
Or I can just wait until everyone else CTEs or drifts away and refound.

AINUR RECONQUISTA WHEN

never, because nobody wants to run the forums. im quite happy with my status in Wintreath as a refugee, thank you very much.

True, maybe not worth the effort to refound if it's going to be a memorial region regardless.

I'm shook.

This guy was making fun of me today because of my sexuality. I very loudly threatened the well being of his eyes and skull.

Like two hours later he came up to me and apologized. I'm like so shook because of it.


But anywhoodles I just started a painting of a skull with some sugar skull aspects. It's gonna have a 3D effect with a felt jester hat. I'm way excited about this painting guys!

Most people would be shook by the actual making fun of, not the apology.

I've come to the realization that if I need to learn how to be more conversational and assertive, both in text and voice, and for me that involves coming to grips with what's always held me back: fear of rejection. The only way to stop being afraid of it I think is to actually put myself out there and be rejected, so that's what I'm doing. Starting with grindr, where I can almost guarantee to be rejected since I'm not under 25, under 200 pounds, or out to hookup with anyone lol.

Wait, so if I am reading this correctly, this guy was making fun of you for being gay, so in response you threatened to skullfuck him?

If so, I have to say, I am very proud of you.

i thought people were quite happy to run the forums, its just that certain unnamed individuals didn't want to let them

Show me the man who is "quite happy to run the forums", and I will show you a man who will drop his leadership duties within a few weeks once he realizes what it entails.

that's too simplistic, even as it presents an easy one for Nurgle (PUS FOR THE PUS GOD)

Tzeentch doesn't need one, because we all know he shrieks JUST AS KEIKAKU* the moment he does literally anything

*translator's note: keikaku means planned

Unfortunately Augustus refounded an hour ago. If he hadn't I could always run up to Osiris and tell them they could get their revenge. Then we could feast on the carrion they leave behind.

One of my friends posted on Facebook about how he got into it with one of his friends...that they got in a debate and his friend twisted what he said and ostracized him. Trying to be out there more and a better friend, I messaged him asking if he needed someone to talk to about it.

Turns out they were talking about Puerto Rico, and he expressed his opinion that America should help people struggling in its own country before it helps another country like Puerto Rico.

...

I wanted to make him feel better, I really did, but I couldn't lie about things that are actual facts. I tried to be diplomatic about it, say that there's suffering in a lot of places and limited resources to help, but I also had to tell him that Puerto Rico IS part of America as a territory, and that Puerto Ricans are US Citizens.

He said he knew that (in spite of specifically referring to it as another country earlier), but implied that it didn't count unless they became a state. He ended the conversation quickly after that...doesn't take a counselor to know that I probably didn't help him at all, and that I probably didn't score any friendship points with him in the process.

*sigh* =/

People aren't always in a state of mind to be reasoned with. Sometimes, the best way to help someone is just to let them vent. They probably know they fucked up, and just need to be reminded they're not alone.

That's what I intended to do, but I felt like if I didn't at least mention it I would be enabling something that's factually wrong. I mean, I didn't even bring up how deplorable I thought his opinion was, which was basically that the richest country in the world should leave people who have lost everything to fend for themselves because apparently things like compassion and caring about human beings who aren't Americans (in his view) is out of style.

Is it all that surprising? America as a whole has subscribed to the myth that selfishness is the best path forward for society as a whole for more than a century, based pretty much entirely on Adam Smith's economic voodoo. I'm sure if people had their way, all their tax dollars would be spent on things that directly benefit them - fuck that dude in Detroit, I gotta get mine. Hell, fuck that dude living across the city -MY neighborhood is the only one that deserves funding.
How much more do you think people can justify that kind of thinking when it's 'not even a state' but a territory?
