This site makes a difference in my life. Hows `bout you?
Should we be paying a going rate of some sort? Carleas, aren’t you always sitting in the background going, “um-hm”? I swear I can hear the earnest etching of a quill…
Am I gonna get one whopping bill in the mail on some sudden occasion? Are there options for financing arrangements?
What is the cost? What is the cost? Are the mere pseudo-ink dripplings off my fingertips onto the keypad sufficient recompense??
Surely not. My thoughts are a dismal display of my finitude. I am but a worm.
I talk/complain/insult about things online because I mostly cannot talk about them with people in real life. Philosophy, conspiracy, sociology, etc. Most of my friends and family, whom I love for the most part, are not interested in any of it. I kind of live two lives: I’m much different in day-to-day RL stuff. Much more… pleasant, shall we say.
I think it’s good to talk about the things you’re interested in. Get it in where you can.
I agree. At one point, ILP was the only place for me to go. But then I found myself in a rat’s nest, which led me to disappear for good. (be nice to moderators, people) It was so bad that I won’t ever be coming back - even now.
Advice? Bathe in intellectual stimulation (for fun) but don’t allow this to be your only social interaction. It can suck the life out of you when you should be living. Dropping by is one thing. Dropping out of life is another.
Thanks Old Gobbo & Bessy! That definitely sums it nicely for me, too. No one in 3D land to kerfuffle with with falutinations and superciliosity (or at least not for more than 30 seconds)… And ya, for me the driving point is entertainment and companionship… any educational experience is sheerly serendipitous (not that there isn’t lots of that, mind you! )
In any case, without this, the echos in my head would find it very hard to become more rarified. And for that I thank y’all!
Before I gained mod status I came to ILP to seek like-minds and solace in intelligent discussion, and now I still do… but I get to quell disruption too
Indeed… just be sure not to poke someone’s eye out with that thing!!
And it is good that disruption be quelled! Good thing for the disruption, though, or the value of such a wonderful thought as “quell” would be lost to the incessant harmony…
Hey Imp! You are truly the king of the ellipsis!! =D>
