Scary Guy

They have meds for that :P Honestly I need to try me some of that Adderall one of these days. I'm a bit scared to though because I might actually do something.

I know a Japanese-American girl. I do not know if she actually speaks it or not though. She's dating my friend Kurtis. Though I imagine you could go out to eat at a Japanese place and just strike up a conversation with people and see if anything sticks. Anyway... I miss my car :( You lose a lot of agency without one, and soon it will be too cold to bike.

Damn you, you made me click on a TikTok!

The next one is postponed

There's activity on this site? :P (sorry, had to, best of luck)

Well here's another self indulging event to celebrate making yet another round trip on this ball of dirt. There is no cover Any questions please post here or DM me.

This doesn't really fit anywhere else, so I figured I'd give it its own thread. My car decided to piss itself with break fluid last Monday when I was leaving Logan's Roadhouse. When my friend Joe tried to jack up the car the body was so rusted it crumpled, and the front was worse. I drove a car until it died. It was a hard car to kill for the most part but it happened. Now I need to concentrate on finding a new one... Y'all have no idea how bad I want another hearse.

Honestly, not your fault and you don't need to carry that guilt. We're not hosting experts, or coding experts, or even forum software experts. We do the best we can with the tools we have. It's really on the hosting company to fix things. I'll tell a little story about a forum called coffin-talk.net (archive.org link, is safe to click) which is long since dead with the domain now hosts a zombie blog. It used to be a really fun site for professionals and fans of the funeral industry. Since I know a thing or two about phpBB and I was a regular user Cat made me an admin to help out with things. There was another user whom they made an admin that I didn't demote even though I could have. That user ended up pruning the entire board, and it was devastating! He said he was sorry and took full responsibility but the damage was done. This happened in January or February I think, and luckily I made an entire backup from October of the previous year. Though that wasn't good enough for the site owner so the forum was just unceremoniously shut down. I tried a few times to fix it but I couldn't get SSH or FTP access, and I'm not even sure I'd have had any luck. The associated store still exists at http://www.pushindaisies.com, and it still links to the forum. Supposedly I have a $100 credit I've never used, but I'm not even sure it'd work at this point anyway.

Facts

No that is pretty impressive. Like an extended monitor though or mirroring the main one? It also depends on how it's doing it though. I've used things like VNC (basically a free Remote Desktop) to display and control remote systems but that's just mirroring them. Still it was pretty useful and every once in a while I fire it up to control my father's system without actually having to go to it for updates and whatnot.

That's rough and I'm sorry you're going through that. "She had to wait a little bit for her pain relief because she had only had it 3 1/2 hours prior." That really pissed me off though. If someone is that terminal who cares when the last time was? The only thing you can do really is pain management. There's no fixing or even maintaining really. There is only waiting for things to break down and stop because assisted suicide in this country is a joke (except in a few forward thinking states.) You want a hard fucking watch? If you can't make it through I get it, but it did make me feel better after my own mother died, and I'm not really sure how else to help other than comedy, because life really is a joke sometimes. Other times it really isn't because jokes are supposed to be funny. Laughter really is the best medicine though, especially when it's the only medicine (I say only because I don't really drink or do drugs, which while being options they're not great options.) I don't know if you're doing therapy/grief counseling, but you should really think about that too. All I can say is it's a pain you never forget, but it does get easier over time. The fact that she's still alive but not all there mentally is even tougher. At a certain point death is a release. Not saying I want us to turn into Canada, where they suggest it as a solution for everything. But I had a thought the other day. We put down our pets when they get too ill. Bestiality is illegal because they can't consent, and so logically they also can't consent to that. Yet we do it "as a kindness" or whatever. No, we do it because taking care of them or the emotional labor of watching them suffer is too much and we don't want to deal. They can't even really conceptualize death as we do either and the end is just scary ignorance of what is happening for them. People however can consent if they choose. Yet most states including ours make it illegal to nope out when things get really bad. We are forced to suffer or break the law. I'm full on pro-choice and things like this are also included in that. Most people are just selfish and we don't want to see our loved ones go. Sorry, rant over. I hope you feel better.

They both need to go, but they don't want to and their respective parties will not let them. This country is doomed either way.

Yes, a friend just sent me a thing. Could have been a false flag. However either way idiots will rally behind him even more now.

Last night was a lot of fun. Met good people too. Very glad I made it. Looking forward to the next one!

Okay, I'm not making it because my car's A/C is shit and it's way to fucking hot out. I love the heat and even that's too much for me. If anyone does make it I hope y'all have fun!

I hope the club is still around then. I hear it's been sold so it all depends on what the new owner wants. I seriously hope they keep the decore. However this is all currently roumers and hearsay. I'm going to ask the owner about it when I see him and what his plans are. I hope he has something else lined up or maybe he's planning to head back out West, which would be a shame because AFAICT he's a super nice guy and we need more business owners like that. I'm sure if it does shut down that this event will find a new home somewhere. Maybe they could do it in the back yard of Black Salt for old times sake.

Okay, for some reason I thought today was Saturday despite owning a calendar. I'll be there with bells on (figuratively of course, that shit would be annoying as hell.)

THE GATHERING IHOP 24140 Ford Rd Dearborn Heights, MI 48127 Saturday, July 13th from 6 to 9 P.M. Hosted by Bobbi (@sekhmet2002) Official Discord event link: https://discord.com/events/446009302189080577/1259228337159667743 --~🟣~◻️~💜~◻️~🟣~-- A Sexpositive Prosocial Goth Friendly Event 👉If you don't like hugs this is the wrong place.👈 Note: This event is NOT particularly kid friendly. ----- Hi, so this has been going on and I've been meaning to go myself but I always end up blowing it off. It's also a lot less aggressively about sex/BDSM than it used to be and more like the goth hangout we all knew and loved, at least as far as I can tell. Not that those topics are off the table mind you, but it's considerably less of a thing. I plan on going, and I know it's short notice but it would be nice to see some other friends there as well. I have also mentioned it on my Moonlit Michigan and will mention it on @Maureen Falcon's Rendezvous Gothique group after I make this post. I would very much like for this to be a thing again for all of those who enjoyed it. If you unfortunately cannot make it then I hope you have a good day whatever your plans may be.

It's too useful to be rid of and I run the https://secularalliance.org Discord so I can't really leave them hanging. Maybe one day I'll axe it again but for now I'm stuck. Might as well enjoy it I guess.

Well the nice thing about being an admin is they don't need to continue to be attached? I don't know the context, but I'm guessing it isn't bitrot but rather enshitification of some kind?

Sorry, I take it you guys didn't want it then? In any case I just figured that moving the numbers up higher and away would allow you to let them continue to grow as much as they wanted.
