What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

It's a bit depressing in its own way.

You did ask, but sorry the answer isn’t better news for you

There are a LOT of people here. Some share a lot of themselves, inside and out, and it is easier (at least for me) to connect with them as whole humans, while others remain faceless strangers for a while. That can change, but it takes time, some opening up on the part of the faceless ones, being observant on the part of everyone else, and some good timing and/or luck.

I joked about the possibility of @Mr_bogey not existing because I haven’t seen his face or much else (I think maybe his feet/ankles once, but I don’t like feet, so I resumed scrolling pretty quickly LOL) but we’ve chatted and he’s posted about enough other things in threads I frequent that I have formed some sense of who he is over time.

It’s entirely possible that I’m only selectively observant and have missed some very deep shares from you, but without scrolling through your post history first, I’m struggling to recall any personal details. I think I’ve seen you most in game threads. It’s easy to give 1-word answers in those threads, and equally easy for people to skim over whatever they missed and skip straight to the last post to reply. Some answers can be really interesting and/or hilarious though. Purely social threads are a great way to get to know the myriad of personalities here too

Another Simple Favor…. was watchable. But, odd.

I've heard so many not so good takes on it...I was really hoping it would live up to some portion of the original...

I hadn’t heard anything about it yet, but also hoping it doesn’t suck. I do love Anna Kendrick though and will at least try to watch it once

Same with Anna

Congratulations!!! You are on your way to being a curmudgeon!! LOL I hate people that have no respect for other peoples property! And they are teaching their childern to be assholes just like them!

I'm not going to argue that, but I was actually shaking my fist at some guy showing up in my inbox, then sending a different message titled "masturbation."

You'd think that after pointing out that I had checked his posts and he needed to make up his mind about being 40, 46, or 47 - and that I'm not interested in being his score for the night - that he'd fade into the darkness.

My post was just my way of not letting it frustrate me.

Where’s my magic wand that I can wave and these clothes will fold themselves?

Your Magic Wand? Thats in the place where you keep your sex toys..

Mine has the opposite effect of getting my clothes into a pile on the floor!

This sentence didn't end out I was expecting it too! lol

You need to get bluebirds to do it for you.

1) Open the window.
2) Sing a "folding clothes" song.
3) Wait for bluebirds to come fold and hand my clothes up.

So far, this isn't working.

As long as they’re not still on my side of the bed

I have 18 and 16 year old girls who talk almost as much shit as me.

They have been raised correctly

WOah Lit is so Quiet today.

WOah Lit is so Quiet today.

Everyone is watching Star Wars?

 

[QwertyMaster]

Nah. I'm pretty sure everyone is out having the best sex of their life. The rest of us are just unlucky. Star Wars is for later.

A lot of what you've typed above has been on my mind lately. What draws me here is being able to connect with people in ways that isn't possible IRL. I think it's becoming more difficult lately, and I'm not completely sure why.

There has always been some difficulty in getting to know people here, but it seems worse now. Aside from a few select people in my DM, I really don't have a good feel for a lot of people here. I think part of it is just the sheer volume of posts, it's overwhelming at times to try to keep up on even a few threads. Maybe that's just the nature of what life online has become. With so many people here, it's easier to feel alone while being "connected".

This site has changed over the years, and part of me misses what it used to be like. What really saddens me is there has been an endless stream of interesting people come on the scene and eventually fade away. That may just be the nature of a site like this, where the anonymity gives you freedom. Likewise it gives people the ability to just walk away. Good or bad, it is part of the draw.

It seems like there are a fewer threads with longer and more in-depth posts and discussion. Maybe that's why its hard to get to know people. I do miss how it used to be.

I think you are right. There seem to be less of those. Maybe we're all getting sick of discussing the same thing over and over again?
Although, corralling all of the political posts in one forum was a good idea!

Sometimes I find myself looking on the "What's new" page for threads with the fewest pages, those tend to be more interesting. And it's easier to catch up on two or three pages of posts and get a feel for what's going on.

I probably forgot everything i read in those posts by now so i could discuss everything again lol

The political posts were terrible.

I haven't tried that.

 

[dkak001]

The political posts were terrible.

I think they still are. I just don't venture over there. I come here to escape!

So, a question. I hear a lot of women here end up being bombarded with messages. My guess is that puts a lot of you on guard. Based on your AV, I'm guessing you might fall in to that category. Do you think your AV nets a lot of DMs?

Anonymity is a funny thing; in some ways, it allows us to share more than we would with most people IRL and know each other on a deeper level, and in some ways, it may keep us from ever really knowing each other. People I know IRL may know my real full name, phone number, where I live, where I grew up and went to school, my family, etc. People here may know details of my sexual proclivities, have seen more intimate parts of my body that I don’t share with the general public, and sometimes get to see the deeper thoughts and feelings I don’t share with people I know IRL, particularly if it’s about them (in the abstract, protecting their identities too, of course). Very few people in the world get to see both sides.

Not really. I used to get a lot more dms if i posted in certain threads about specific interests which I haven't really done a lot of since I have been back this time. No one dm's me about my avatar.

That is one thing i love about places like this. You get to see a side of people that you normally can't in public. I used to like when people went really in depth on those topics, though even though i say that everything i post lately seems really short too. I don't really know why either.
