et-novum

I've been busy I'll make some sock puppet accounts to boost the forum's numbers

Feeling anxious, and I can't pin it down on any one thing. It might be a combo of them all, but I'm starting to think I might actually have an anxiety disorder or something. This can't be normal.

I would like a better block function. The current one is nearly useless. As for other features, I'm not sure adding any features for the sake of adding features is useful if nobody uses them. So things like IRC, VR, etc may not get used with the current user base. Personally when I see features like that they aren't used or are used by one or two people only, I get a little turned off from the site as a whole. And on the subject of web scraping, I think it's actually important for website growth to have good SEO. I recognize this may be a divisive topic and search engine results are kinda shit right now because of low-effort internet sites anyway. And to derail the topic fo bit, we need more active members (and I think most people would agree). Forums are unfortunately mostly dead but I think with the drama of mainstream social media sites they can make a comeback. However - there's still a real barrier because forums are very different than FB, TT, IG, and the rest. We don't have an app, which may cause a lot of people (especially younger people raised in the mobile age) to not try it for very long.

I'm tired of feeling tired *again*. Whatever weird cyclic thing that smacks me with the "you don't have any stamina anymore!" thing every couple of weeks needs to stop. I have shit to do, I can't keep shutting down this early in the day. It's been like two weeks since I've felt actually rested, and yes I do get nearly a full 8 hours most nights.

Yikes. I wouldn't want anyone with even a mild illness doing any of those things let alone COVID. Y'know. That little thing that caused that kerfuffle a few years ago 😮‍💨😮‍💨 I hope you feel better soon. That's no joke to be dealing with.

One of these days, we should sit down and look at all the old personal sites I have stashed in a bookmark folder.

Eternal Champion - I Am The Hammer

Not if I do it first.

@Scary Guy

I'm out of my head when you're not around. I'm out of touch.

Poor kid 😞 I hope he gets his revenge on@et-novum

I'm exhausted from last week. I think today is going to be a self care day. Haven't had one of those in a while. But first I need to tidy my kitchen. Because sometimes self care is putting things in order.

I would literally rather set myself on fire.

Hearse show was pretty cool but the whole event was just an ad for Screamers lmao. There were about four hearses and a Chevy HHR made up to look like one

I wish you well. I read the whole thing but didn't have any particular but to quote, but I wanted to reply to you directly. I see you. I don't know if there's anything I can do or any particular support you'd really desire from me (I realize I am basically a stranger). But please let me know if I can do anything. If nothing else, I have a safe place for you crash for a few days. You just might have to share an air mattress with my cat. Hang in there.

My car Sabrina (now that's she's finally fixed 🙃) runs great so we can always use her.

We had a small but successful goth event in our neck of the woods, and now I'm just chilling.

@NocteSpiritus It's called How To Keep House While Drowning and it was recommended to me by a friend of mine who is a psychologist and recommends it to her clients. It's pretty short and easy to read but I found it helpful. It should be available from the local library

Battle Beast - Show Me How to Die

I enjoy reading the lore because it's messy and deep and I can go down the rabbit holes. It reads like an ultra-serious parody that doesn't acknowledge how unhinged it is and I respect that. Never got into the game, the books, or anything else other than the wiki though lmao. Also some of the fans ruin it. People get a little *too* into Warhammer 40k and make it their personality, but that's true of many things.

Nah, the tulips are like *the* thing our Holland is known for. Well, that and all the churches in town.

Why not just drink the gatorade in the fridge?

Good, I'm glad there were consequences to this. We're what, two and a half years since it happened?

Both weekends of Tulip Time were great. The Tulip Time traffic sucked lmao. Thankfully I live close to downtown and all the good stuff.

I don't think it worked 😔 I want to see your cats
