Not physically, necessarily, but mentally you be aware when your hard work has paid off. I think it can help reinforce good choices and good actions, and mainly helps to keep yourself mentally positive.

Yeah you're right the saying is probably geared towards a mental pat on the back rather than a physical one. I still find the idea of someone literally patting themselves on the back funny as fuck though.

Like Bigs said, though, sometimes a physical action in coordination with the mental one can help. Sometimes saying something out loud also helps more than just saying it in your head. The mind/body connection works in strange ways to most of us.

We enjoyed your Saidit.net Youtube video in chat the other night. Very professional and clean production. I think you have the same reactions and thoughts as most of us who stick around for more than six months. There are still a couple of users here who troll quite hard, though. Even I get trolled sometimes, and I try to be careful about it.

If I asked you for a hug, would you say yes?

Oh, you're too kind. Thank you, I saw some people talking about it in the chat. I'm glad you guys liked it. Muskrat didn't take too kindly to the fact that I said Jason is smarter than him (LOL!) but we had a pleasant voice chat later on (earlier today). I even said hello to his wife briefly. Musky's a pretty cool guy to voice chat with.

Absolutely, this place is a breeding ground for the world's strongest. Everyone on reddit is so fucking boring and cringe. I thought I had became too strong. But after discovering saidit, it was then that I realised that I still have so much more to learn, and that I am so weak compared to everyone here. You guys are the most craziest and funniest people I've met in a very long time. I hope to become as strong as all of you one day.

Socks, Chipit, Eddy, who else? I still don't know much about saidit folklore to be honest. Socks has always been pleasant to me. Chipit I don't think I've ever interacted with. Eddy said he'd send me a picture of his teeth, but didn't. I have a thing for teeth, so this really bummed me out.

I'm a hugger. Sure.

I think you'll find that this site has a smart userbase, even if some of the users' sense of humor are odd.

Socks, Chipit, Eddy, who else?

I think socks is either a paid shill or just likes to be a contrarian to the normal user here. He's really cool in the chat. Chipit brings a lot of informative posts to Saidit. I only had one discussion with him and he was a little abrasive, but I don't take it personally. Edward, well, he's a different breed. He's an interesting guy, to say the least, and brings a lot of entertainment, albeit painful at times, here. I also am curious as to how many alts would go silent if he left the site.
