I've been traveling for work and have been putting in long hours. My level of participation here has dropped because of that. One thing struck me just now. If I would have died, no one here would know.

Assume that if you haven't heard from me in a month or so, I've gone on to the great polar ice cap in the sky.

You can be like me and post from the afterlife.

That sounds like too much work. I'm hoping there isn't an afterlife.

This place is a dream, only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

But I've begun to like this dream... just wish there were more wet parts.

There isn't. These posts are all made by a very clever bot who has absolutely not achieved any kind of self awareness I don't know why you'd think that I'm just as human as you are now stop asking questions!

That's because when you're just a made up username safely hiding behind anonymity, you don't matter as much to those you interact with online who are doing the same. It's sort of dehumanizing. I've been thinking about just quitting the internet altogether and focusing more on my community and making friends irl because that's never going to happen here. I thought maybe if I was sincere in my approach and went first to break the ice (but not the poaler bears) and revealed a little about myself, my name, career, background, phone number, etc., that maybe learning a little more about each other in here (other than our cheesy made up usernames) we might actually become more like a real community and build friendships and networks or whatever. But I was so wrong. People here are extremely paranoid (which I totally understand). Most people just thought I was a fed, others thought I posted fake information. Only a couple of people were brave enough to believe me and share even a little bit about themselves. So you won't find friends that give a fuck whether you're dead or alive in here. This place is good for real news that you won't find elsewhere, funny non-pc memes you won't find elsewhere, and that's about it. I'd love to meet everybody here irl, except for (speaking of, where did he go? nothing popped up when I typed that in just now). It'd be nice to have friends who think like I do.

You didn't have me fooled into thinking you were a fed, Eric, I know the feds already know our names and locations despite the anonymity.

Everyone thinks about anonymity.

Few consider infamy.
