  1. She ran to the darkness. Much easier to find the truth without glare.
  2. I want to go out but the anxiety/depression/irritation aspects of the PTSD are INSANE and have been since last Thursday. From age 25 or so I took "do the right thing" to heart. I do my best if someone rubs me the wrong way I just suck it up or do my best to smooth it over. Somehow I've I can't ever remember that happening in the reverse. I try to position myself to be as nice as I can. Do I screw up? Sure. Almost went to the hospital just to "warehouse" myself for a day or so so no one has to deal with this scary rapid cycling psych stuff.

  4. Hi @Luveday glad to have you. I lived in A2 for many years (went to U of M) miss the area. We used to have a TON of people from the Ypsi/A2 area on here but not as much lately. I think we have like 5 car-less people from out there that I (thought) at least one would have a car to come to our weekly get-togethers but I couldn't scrounge one up and its too far away for me to drive there and back. Yes, around here anyway apparently cats count. I was told this several years ago and since then I say things like "do you have children? Then the furry kind? I think every single person active on the board right now except Draco and Nitewolf have cats. (they might too I just am unaware) lol Old GF of mine was SUPER active in SCA and still is. I like the idea of it I'm just always so damn busy with 900000 other interests (or them dang 'life responsibilities" pesky things.) What kind of stuff do you read? Just curious. Best wishes and hope to see you on the board often.
  5. Young people have no clue this is not normal. Trump & friends are the worst scum to be in the white house in American history. (Andrew Jackson held the title as arguablily the worst president in history previously its take over 100 years to produce this monster). ❤️ If you don't know that is an MLK reference please stop whatever you are doing and actually take the time to listen to his 'I have a dream speech. Which, every time he gave it he knew it might be his last speech ever. (Sadly, reasonably accurate.) If you have been under a rock this is the latest public display of disgust at the trump administration. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave by a restaurant owner in Lexington Virginia. =======> Road trip to Lexington Virginia to eat at The Red Hen! ❤️ We have not had this sort widespread of public outrage (litterally) since the public shaming of loyalists during THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. If you are still supporting Trump wake up. This is the rich destroying America. History is watching. <======
  6. How to get these and help a good cause along with all HS stuff (yes we are permabroke): House Spiral Patreon https://www.patreon.com/housespiral
  7. Hah. Draco. 'I prefer less gore...' So...HELLRAISER' lol. (I do get your point that is just a funny example) I have watched all of them except the most recent one. Thin as hell plots in even the better ones but it does at least in several of them do a decent job with the suspense. Creature feature gore fest's with zero atmospheric scariness are just trash. Life is too short.
  8. Try making that distinction as a white man in a room full of black people you aren't (good) friends with. Not that it matters 'race based humor' will get you banned from youtube (and fired from any iso 9000 certified company (all Fortune 1000 companies) unless you are a minority. Really idiodic intractable double standard in society at least for now. I'm guessing 100 years before that sort of stuff becomes archaic. (Growing up I though it already was something that was a problem. In like the 60s but not anymore... Needless to say that misunderstanding has long been corrected. Lol. But hey you can still be president and not even be joking, no problem. Such a good role model that orange faced saint of the rich.
  9. Dang pagans. 😀 Summer Solstice At Stonehenge. Apparently, even druids (teasing) have decent drones! Bastards! lol
  10. lol No that was funny. I'm sort of an incurable wise ass so I appreciate pretty much all humor. heh.
  11. Me being sort of the resident zen Buddhist that believes in helping everyone... To be a southern gentleman may I say...FUCK EM. It's the bank that has rigged the game (all of society) against everyone on the planet that takes the hit, not the citizens. The 2008 recession? Who do you think caused that? These asshats. Robbing a bank in modern times is just robbing from the rich scumbags that buy the government and have the rules all in their favor and have been stealing from us since time immemorial. They are insured so well that the whole bank could blow up and they'd get it all back. Could anyone of us get that deal? No. The rich assholes that have been rigging the monetary system since before 1776 have been legally stealing from the poor and middle class since money was invented. Bank robbery, if it could be done without hurting anyone physically, is civil disobedience. Especially for women and minorities. Bankers are scum. Worse than Lawyers. A bank robbery with no one getting hurt is just a TINY PATHETIC hey we got less than .0000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the money back that they have been stealing from us (and it is accelerating how fast they are legally stealing from us).

  13. PC Game: League of Legends <==== Kind of have to go to your zen place and learn. To start the learning curve is easy. Good tutorials and early practice on A.I. opponenents. Later takes a bit more 'oh its on' type dedication. (After the first month or two. 3 vs. 3 much preferred over 5 v 5. (Irrelevant for the first week or so) Yes There Will Be Cards 1. (Reach Level 30) 3. Gold Rank (bottom end for casual players no desire to work to get above this) Mobile Game Suggestion: Clash Royal (In game guild name House Spiral CR) Fun time. Games take 6 minutes or Less. Troy's Trivia: Earned Cards Probably at the gathering. 10 questions 1 wrong still wins Subjects will be >>basic<< understanding of the following: Game Of Thrones Star Trek The Twilight Zone Battlestar Galactica Reboot American Current(ish) Politics The American Civil War (Ken Burns The Civil War A++ all answers contained here) What years did WWII cover? Astronomy Anthroplogy The Way of The Spiral Basic Logical Reasoning Terms & concepts - (this will serve you well for the rest of your life maybe even fundamentally change it age 9 to 90) Warhammer 40,000 Cards for the above will be the most elaborate we have had so far and be hard earned don't expect to get them on the first try. A 'premium' version for deegon's only.. (Ideas for much, much later) Real Life Get Together Game Suggestions: (Thinking these would be special game nights) Magic The Gathering (cheapass version) Warhammer 40,000 Game of Thrones Living Card Game 2nd Munchkin Werewolf
  14. Littrrally watching robotech episode 1. Seems like some creation from an ancient time. Rick Hunter just made his first ever appearance in that red acrobatic air plane. So huh... 'Robotech' is actually very well explained right here. I somehow assumed the term was just some random 'sci fi' sounding term with no background.
  15. The 'decaying' hand is improving, life is short. The pentagram is 'attracting' (point downward) self-improvement. Pointing toward the stylized triple spiral each spiral, a lose summary of the work in progress of balancing truth, kindness & courage. Order v Chaos (central internal struggle of mankind) are the 2 left over points of the star as the downward triangle of the pentagram approximate the truth/kindness/courage symbol (the tools we balance to manage that eternal struggle) Could go on... Fascinating fact: the pentagram despite having close ties to the occult was first widely used as a symbol for christ. (Point upward) the points symbolizing the 5 wounds on the cross. But, it predates Christianity and possibly even humans as it has been found on some of the oldest caves in existence (some debate if non homosapien hominids had the ability to use symbolism) made long before man could read, write or even know how to plant seeds.
  16. Wow. That's coming up on 2 years. Didn't realize it was that long. Time flies when you are having fun.
  17. Tron, I have 50 things going at once right now but just thought of something, could you remove the 'upvote' choice from reactions? Its pointless without a downvote, as "like" and the other 'positive' reactions serve the same function just making upvote confusing. Especially to people that have never seen it before (Facebook and the like don't have such things as upvote, that is for forums like this so you get a feel for the collective reaction to posts, but downvote here might cause unnecessary drama) (confused and sad shouldn't count as anything in the 'points' part of the reactions, all the rest should just be +1) If there was a "love it' i would count that as +2 but there isn't one (the trophie meaning 'thanks' is odd, just thinking out loud not suggesting anything be done about that part per se.
  18. Just writing this here so I hopefully will get to it at some point (seem to be running around like a chicken with my head cut off every day since i only have like 4 hours of 'functional' time before the sleep deprivation kicks in and I become worthless for things that take a lot of concentration. (working on that almost daily though... damn it, not gonna give up there. Need to get the sleep in order so I can do a lot of things, not the least of which is being able to put in the appropriate amount of time on the business and make good on trust that was put in me to get that profitable) Its really a struggle. *makes like the little engine that could* TROY YOU DO THIS AT SOME POINT: 1. Remove all notifications of all sorts. 2. Set default notifications to only include: reactions, quotes, tags, and replies to topics that the person started themselves. Getting involved in email marketing pretty extensively due to the business, people marking your email as 'spam' because they are just getting overwhelmed with notifications/emails is baaaaaaaaaaad. The way it is now unless users go through figure out how to turn off notifications (hah) they get spammed with way, way too many. (and changing it for 'future users" is nice, but the vast majority of our posters will be existing posters which needs a script or some such to run in the SQL (which for people that know about it apparently is fairly easy, its functionality that is there, it just doesn't have any clicky-click admin interface way to do it.
