(3,447 posts)I have always made a habit of not staying places I'm not wanted, and apparently I'm not good enough to be here now since I didn't bother to go stand in line in a city with 1000:1 Trump sign advantages (and which he won by a monstrous percentage). I'm not quite certain how one leaps from not voting in a state that wasn't even remotely competitive to 'enabling Trump', but it is what it is.
I suppose that's that. Time for some goodbyes.
...damn, I literally have no friends here anyway. The last person who emailed me was 3 years ago. Okay, on to a few callouts of a good-natured spirit.
Malaise, your spirit is refreshing, but sometimes you make some really fantastical leaps. I think your posts would be better if you spent just a bit more time reflecting on emotion first (which is NOT the same as removing it, don't do that!).
DemocratSinceBirth, I don't know why but some of your posts really strike me as trollish, but entertainingly so. Keep up the good work.
TheFerret, everyone else has told you how good you are, I can only repeat it. Best of luck.
LaPucelle, love the name. Amazing show, wasn't it?
KPete, I like how you set the hook.
OmahaSteve, thanks for all the bird pics. I hope your treatments go well, sincerely.
Yui Yoshida, thank you for making the Asian forum so very interesting. さようなら。
And many, many others that I can't think of right now: thanks for all the memories. 2004-2017 and the Library of Congress isn't a bad record.
And finally to the feminist brigade, many of whom I believe have me on ignore, primarily (I think) from some comments and questions I had years ago: keep up the good fight. I've finally found someone who could help me get caught up on what ya'll were trying to talk about. I think we, as women, need to make sure we are actually giving people the resources to look up on what we talk about; far too often there seems to be an 'educate yourself' mindset, which only works when there's a list of materials (and no, Google isn't it! You'll pull up so much weirdness that way, holy Goddess...) to start with or someone to talk with personally. But for our disagreements in the past, I've come around on. The nature of ignore, of course, makes it impossible to see people evolve like that, but that's just how it goes. Good luck, sisters.
And now, someone kindly inform Skinner to shut down my account, please, since there's some desperation to be rid of us. OH...and to the gravedancers. No, I haven't learned any lessons. Purity spiralling is idiotic. The Nazi's are cresting 9% approval with a well-known 10% tipping point, and you idiots want to purity spiral? Well, have at it.
