I want to increase Josh-Hines-Ward-Alan-Thicke’s contributions to the board, but “Hungry Eyes” by Eric Carmen is sort of like when I throw out my back unloading the dishwasher. Pain and grimacing followed by a generalized loathing of humanity.
Heh, unfortunately I don't see me being a regular contributor here these days. These boards feel so stale compared to the rest of the internet and it's 100% because we can't discuss, let's say, current events.
I pop by out of habit but there's never anything new here, it's all the same threads on the front page that were started in like 2019 because they're the only ones that haven't been shut down and they're so blasé that people can talk in them without fear of actually talking about anything that matters and thereby getting banned.
I get that JB is extremely privileged and for someone like him it's easy to just say "no politics" like they don't permeate every aspect of existence for a lot of people but it makes this place so detached from reality that it's not worth much of my time anymore, aside from the fact that I've been here 22 years and have a lot of long-standing fantasy leagues here.
I used to think/say I had a lot of internet friends here but Zilla, Tasker, DrD, Unialias etc... all very rarely come here anymore either, the community as I knew it has basically fallen apart, mostly because the moderation has made it impossible to have conversations of any real meaning about what is actually happening these days.
Obviously the fact that I've bothered to type this all out is because I do or did care a lot for what this place was at one time.
But now we just make lists of 31 songs with long names and dumb stuff like that to while the way time. Or more likely we go to Reddit or discord or some other platform where we can talk about real things
Now playing:
Leaders of the Free World - Elbow (2005)
The leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it's easy to ignore
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes
