Anyway, with my narrower focus, I wan't to minimize contact with others. I won't be posting here for awhile.
I wish you the best, sir. For what it's worth, I think you are one of the most unique individuals on this site. In particular, I thought your post #11 in the first contact thread was very well-written and highly creative/thought provoking. Live long and prosper, AFTT47.

Well, I ask my anus if it gives a shit what you're thinking.
Go ahead, ask your asshole, maybe it's smarter than you are.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.

He doesn't want to live long and prosper, he wants it all to burn down. So what are you talking about? He cares about his cats and wife but not the world, his attitude should catch fire and burn.

I can understand why this site is a little much after the election. It feels like it mostly political lately. I haven't been posting much either since then simply because I don't want to join in a lot of those convos. I'm sorry you can't find a few threads to still be a part of. I know I have jumped head first into mafia and spend most of my time there, every now and then glancing at the other threads for anything interesting.

Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."

So MJ, what's up with your intolerance toward others having an emotional response to the election? Have you slain your emotions along with the gods, or just your regard for reciprocity?

One day you'll learn that disagreement doesn't mean you should be a raging cunt. One day you'll learn that simply because someone says something wrong by your lights, that isn't really a good reason to be bilious.
One should hope, at least.

Yes, you should hope. There seems to be little talk of it here. Lot's of gloom and doom.
How about don't panic? Not a damn thing has happened yet except for the end of a disappointing and divisive election.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Yeah, I'm obviously not happy with the election results ... bit I lived through 8 years of Dubya, and I'll live through this too.

I don't get it. You don't like Trump, perfectly understandable. But come on. At least give him a chance? He was democratically elected. Sometimes it happens that the person you don't want wins. And he's not Hitler or something - he's already saying he won't do half the things he said he would, which was predictable, almost every candidate makes huge promises that reasonably can't be fulfilled. There may be some unfortunate changes, but your country isn't going to collapse. And the sentiment 'America deserves to burn'... come on. For having differing opinions?
If the tables were turned I doubt anybody would be saying anything about being hurt and needing time to heal, but that's just my two cents.
AFTT, I'm late but take care of yourself man. Hopefully see you back here soon.
