Sorry for such a delayed reply. I've been commenting like this since 2005 when I chose reddit out of three contenders for my 'main internet site'. Was reddit, stumbleupon, and one I don't remember. But the commenting environment seems to be crashing, and my patience is growing thin. Saidit itself appears to be going down too, with people simply withdrawing from the censorship and erratic behaviors by the admins.

With the government now planning to fund communist witch hunts for internet wrong thinkers - who they refer to as domestic terrorists - this may be the moment to to stop offering them data they could characterize as incriminating. But that's more secondary to the sites themselves becoming untenable, which is leading me to some days not go on the internet at all. And it feels nice to be completely out of the loop on some of this bullshit.

I wanted to regain some balance, grow a garden, build some things around here, and be self-sufficient and autonomous. Maybe even at fucking 50 to try to find a lady again.

Sounds worthwhile. The balance especially. Doesn't mean you have to go out and associate with maskers and vaxxers, but just keep a toe or two in the waters of real life. And btw, 50 is pretty young. At least you'll know anyone interested isn't after your money, and your organs are probably too old to be worth much on the medical black market! See, there are positives in any situation! But seriously, the gardening and balance should remain a part of your life.

Don't sweat it. I'm also terrible with correspondences. I have 724 messages from 2.5 years that I mean to get to, and about as many emails that I never check.

Larry is taking so long with whatever it is he's doing with my server and I got tired of waiting for my MediaWiki that I started this the other day: /s/Cassy/wiki/index and drafted this: /s/Cassy/wiki/progresslog_2021-05-11 which he nor the others haven't gotten back to me about. I wanted to check with them first for stuff I may have missed and I didn't want to take the liberty of overstepping my bounds by speaking for them. I'm starting to feel like herding cats is not the best way to do things, but if we want Full Spectrum Decentralization (another term I came up with recently that I have yet to fully explain and share) the it means we must try to include and accommodate everyone, but not in a commie way.

I'm almost of the mind that I need to just barge ahead and let the other guys just speak up if/when they don't agree.

Sad but true. Tom has disappeared too.

Fuck that. They'll do it regardless - and dig up your past or find any excuse to sentence you. Don't stop because they sure aren't going to. Go out fighting on your feet, not simpering on your knees.

LOL truth!

The older ladies aren't as interested in rebellious guys with nothing to lose who take risks, which is fine by me as I'm not into the older ladies.
