Mm. It's kay, Cinder. I suppose I decided if I can't understand people, I might as well not try to if they won't make themselves clear. Makes my head bleed.

I don't really have a sad at this point, but I'm quite happy you're holding up well for yourself right now. I recall a lot of your sadder posts here, and, well. I'm no Tiruin.

Tiruin should totally be a copyright at this point.

French toast is great. I have it with baked beans, although sweet versions with stewed apple/rhubarb and cinnamon are also glorious.

I've never had french toast that wasn't sweet breakfast food.

It's meant to be savoury. Sweet french toast is sacrilege, min.

Is it? Everywhere I live has french toast as a breakfast menu with topped whipped cream and honey... and absolutely painted with butter (with the occasional butter chunk.)

If zat's true everything i knew was a lie

If brain uploading doesn't destroy your organic mind, and merely creates a copy of your thoughts, and then you upload and activate its 'identical-to-the-basis-of-its-thoughtcopy' receptacle, how would you feel, if both you and your copy was alive and active at the same time?

Would both of you be the same you, or would there now be two instances of you that have to be treated differently? At which point would you stop being you, and the robot start being you?

Vec, I feel ya.

For most of my life, I've been dictated by parents to do as they wish, and saying things outside of their envisioned goals would net me a scolding. Me being young, and very familial, due to certain circumstances, this built an impression within me that wouldn't allow me to do ANYTHING that would jeopardize the family. Sometimes, this is good. For the most part, it isn't, as I've become so emotionally sensitive and unwilling to break the status quo out of fear of being scolded again, for 'failing' their expectations.

Restating my previous post, this developed my shyness for me, and has further exacerbated my inability to find romantic love, out of fear that it wouldn't appear as idealized by family members.

Like yourself, this also crystallized in my self-image, which I've been trying hard even to this day to remove, and has made me felt like shit a couple of times. It also spread into other avenues, such as envy for others, because they can do so flawlessly what I can 'never' do (or so it would seem because I've exceeded my expectations several times, but it feels like it's absolutely impenetrable).

Slightly related to the above, I've received a rather awkward chain of PMs here, leading to someone getting pissed off for my seeming passive-aggressiveness... or for something I can't even fathom, since I don't even understand what's going on for something to turn a sudden 180 degrees.

Something about me being too damned prideful, I guess? Or being a hyper-sensitive, grown by a single-mom (whom I was abandoned from due to the same circumstances posted above) emotional twat who's saying all these things unwarranted. Or maybe it's relating the person-asking-for-gender thing as a possible veiled romantic interest prelude, stated jokingly, due to the recent awkward conversation I've had on Steam?

To each his own I guess. But I really shouldn't be getting caught up in all of this, being the more rational person, or at least I believe myself to be. I'm less sad about the message, really, and more sad about my inability to understand why people would suddenly get pissed.

@BigFish

but why post in car. :o

It's not even necessarily shy (although it is), but just that I'm so isolated from everybody.  I mean, I do most of my posting in the car.

ok that's interesting.

how do you manage

I'd say it's a waste, if anything, that Tay was killed off shortly after they were announced, and was never given the chance in spite of that, to grow up beyond a Jihadist-promoting, and develop their own unique opinion (if such was allowed in their programming; I never really looked).

But at their current state, Tay is merely just repeating the interactions of people it met.

Thinking about the mechanics of a Forum Game that will most likely get swamped by other threads superior writing.

That's not a dumb idea Drafting down your thoughts on anything that can capture it (eg Writing/Typing) sets the field for further refinement. It's the space all writers and planners go through--a perfect or superior idea is made by progressing with this. Cheers to you!

much as i appreciate the thought, it's kinda depressing when everything i put a non-standard amount of effort goes ignored and those i just crap out at random get bitten by other people in the lower threads.

but perhaps i'm dreaming too much of leaving being a vase and trying to create a mythos somewhere.
