I think we fond our common ground here again. it's been a rational discourse and I appreciate that very much. BTW, Im not the only OG to reappear on the same day lol, Crim just posted for the first time in a year and some others I know are "back" this week too in various ways. Something must be in the air.

As you can see, I don't post any more. Oddly enough became active again quite recently myself. I've always been on and off though.

It's heavy on the sarcasm. Or light. Depending on how you see things. I still care about the things I care about. Just not as emotionally and mentally invested anymore.
It's always good to see people returning.
Heh, that was a great read, one that you should have psychically known to send to me, oh about (scrolls up to check post time) 8 hours ago.
Woulda been a lot cooler if ya did.
Especially since its the funny version of exactly what I've written here and been commenting all night to various people's replies, more or less.
I nearly wrote a satirical take on the whole SPL show. Had the notepad out, writing jokes in preparation. Walked away from the idea. Seemed like there was a rift forming and I didn't want to be taken seriously and end up contributing. "Too soon," they say.
A lot of eyes were on the site as well. Would have been my most viewed post ever. An "opportunity."
But I just don't got it in me anymore.
I was there once, 2000 years ago and I didn't have it in me anymore either.
So take your time.
We'll probably be here, bitching about Aggroed trying to manipulate somebody for his own gain as usual, in 2.5 years when you feel like you need to check it out again. Based on the number of OGs I am seeing resurface on about the same timeline as me this week, 1-3 years seems to be about the right amount of time for you to take a break and for nothing to change a single bit in the meantime.
The thing about change here. When you're deep into it, daily grind, it's hard to notice the changes and progress. Looking back, there's been a lot. Much of it, I'm okay with. But it's slow.
Also have a lot of experience being in a decentralized environment. Not many can say that. Took awhile to adjust and eventually realized the only thing I can control here, is me.
And if someone screws up, like the example you provided, the only thing I can do about that is not let it bother me personally. I'm not too familiar with him and his history. So I probably won't join in on the bitching. Put my best foot forward, keep it there, and try not to fall. Use it as an opportunity to work on myself, since I can't change others.
If you look closely at the situation and the reaction in general. People are a lot more chill these days, even during the tough conversations. I kinda like that.
People are more chill, this is true. I think the feauxvid period may have sapped a lot of people's will to fight for much so hard anymore.
That's a good reminder. This whole Hive thing popped up about the same time. Slowly but surely the whole world was at odds with one another. Politics had cities on fire. Can all say we've been to hell and back. So maybe people are tougher now. Maybe even desensitized. Not as fragile. But all this is a story for another day, or some thoughts for my own post if I ever get around to writing again.
