How The Hell Do You Spend So Much Time Here

Because I've met a pretty amazing pack of stone cold weirdos here that have become like those weird cousins that you can't get rid of.

 

you guys need to learn to let go sometimes. you can't make every second in this life count. and sometimes you just have to let the world go and stop and feel the wind, and nothing more than that. be in nothingness for a while, and then get back to the world.

i don't have the need to 'fill in the gaps'. those quiet moments when nothing is going on, when you're doing nothing, they have their charm, and use. attempting to fill them with internet posting/checking facebook/etc seems introducing more noise rather than actual meaningful content.

 

I would say we come closer to making every second in life count when you take time to do this

as when you would spend every free moment on the internet

But we can do both of course. Some have more free moments then others :-D

 

Hmmmmm 'feel the wind' or funny cat videos?

I love my phone

 

Feel the wind on your ass while you take a shit? I think I'd rather be on my tablet.

 

^^^^^^ THIS

 

I come and go. I've also been on the site since I was in high school, and like you, I feel it has influenced me a lot. I like the influence, though. I grew up in a small town, so if I had not been exposed to a lot of the things this site had to offer (and read some really constructive discussions), I probably would not be as accepting of alternative people and lifestyles as I am today. I don't spend a considerable amount of time here, but I'm sure it's added up over the years. I like having an internet home base to come back to. I hate it when they change too much and lose the atmosphere. For me, this place has remained much the same as when I joined. At least in the way I relate to it anyway. Others more actively involved with actual social connections and friendships might differ in opinion. I never got too emotionally involved with anyone here (EDIT: which is not to say that you don't matter at all to me! I find the regular presences here very comforting to see over the years ), and I mostly stayed away from drama, so I might not have the same experience as people who were more involved in those kinds of things.

I do remember when we put up the Nonnies for a while, though... That was... sure something... :unsure:

 

How comes there is that much wind in your bathrooms guys? But really I never feel the wind blowing when I'm in the bathroom. Isn't the wind warm in Australia anyway?

You sit on your tablet while going nr. 2?

 

Damn straight! Better than a tiny phone screen.

 

actually, that is a rather enjoyable experience.

 

I don't know. I find crapping in the woods to be a cold, uninviting experience.

 

I've met a handful of my very best friends here. And while most of them aren't members here anymore, we met through here and have all kept in touch. I learned some people from here were very very bad people, too. Random Thoughts used to be such a community. It wasn't always pleasant or good, and I met some of the best and worst human beings through this forum. I'm so thankful for that period of time when this was the only social life I really had. It found me a family I didn't even know could exist.

 

My dad always used to ask:
"Does a bear shit in the woods? Or does he shit on the sidewalk and kick it into the woods?"

Living in SF I've seen bears shit on the sidewalk and leave it there.

Dogs learned them that.

 

Gross! Were they drunk??

 

it blows up your ass counterclockwise.

 

Cool place. I think I will stick around awhile.

 

That was a joke. I haven't seen Bears (for the uninitiated a bear is a big fat hairy gay dude) shit on the sidewalk but I have seen crackheads do it.

I hadn't seen the reference post when I saw this.

I thought it had something to do with someone's ass exploding

 

That makes more sense. I didn't think they took after their namesake quite that well.
