I remember something like an E/N thread someone made about a family member dying, with a reply that went on about how they also were sad when Sephiroth killed Aeris so they can relate. Anyone have that?

Is that where the XKCD strip about the mod to put Aeris back in and how anybody using it needs serious help comes from?

Anyone have that? I know it was Lissedae, and the quote was reposted in one of her wedding threads, but I don't have the original thread.

My favorite tone-deaf E/N poster was the thread where someone talked about a 21-year-old woman whose 40-something husband died, and someone waltzed in with the ol' "It's sad that he died, but at least now she's free to date someone her own age." They got called out for pages and kept trying to apologize but also couldn't stop loving that chicken. I'm sure it's colored by memory, but I remember their last post being an unhinged rant which alternated between saying you should only date age-appropriate people and screaming "I'M NOT A BAD PERSON!"

We don't know the details, but it sounds like the fire thing was in California during fire season. Whether or not it's legal anyone tending a fire with 4-5 foot flames in the middle of fire season is loving retard and should be beaten with a sack of charcoal briquettes.

This is assuming it was indeed an actual open bonfire though, and not like a small fire pit or maybe even just a charcoal grill.

It's basically The Old Man and the Sea except about rebuilding a ancient truck in a field located in the rear end end of ruralest Nebraska. Also a Jeep catches fire.

It's really good. Inch Dick is a well meaning 'sucking chest wound of a man' who struggle(s/d) with meth addiction. I hear he's doing a lot better.

Anyone have that? spoonce posted:"I know I'll probably be attacked for this (video games are for losers, etc. ), but this is exactly how I felt when Aerith died. I honestly didn't know what to do, I was pretty much in a daze.. I would go into battle without any materia equipped, I'd forget to heal my characters after battles, completely neglected my chocobos. I would just go to the Golden Saucer and dick around for hours at a time playing minigames... I just didn't see any point to advancing the story, how could there be a story without her? Well, it took some time, but I got over it (and took my revenge on Sephy [KoTR + Mimic ftw]), and the point is, I'm sure you will too. If there's anything I'd take from this, it's that life goes on even after losing a loved one, it's just up to you how long it takes.

GWBBQ posted:If the idea of a goon buying a truck and another obsessive goon traveling cross country to fix it up in exchange for a place to sleep, food, and booze interests you, you'll love it. If you're not interested in a drawn-out truck restoration drama that involves another vehicle spontaneously catching fire in the middle of a field and I won't spoil the ending for you, then it's not for you. If you want the short version, just sort by posts from the two people quoted there and skim the last few pages. I'm not even a gearhead and I read that whole damned thread start to finish, and then read the next one when he went back, finished the job, and the truck finally got to Florida. Spoilered for anyone who does want to read the whole thing. loving feel-good story of the decade right there.

Always inspirational when goons manage to eventually overcome their overwhelming desire to completely gently caress up basic tasks and accomplish something you could expect a functional adult to reasonably do given enough time and the proper materials.

Yes? Some folks are hosed up, so when they take steps to get un-hosed it shows us all that if Goony McGoonface can climb out of the piss-filled well then maybe those of us who are less hosed up can do so too. Look, we got very little to be hopeful or happy about. Can't we take inspiration where we can find it?

The Ballad of the 14" DICK is one of my favourite forum things ever. I once described it to my wife as "A broken husk of a man finds redemption in the frozen wastes of Nebraska through truck repair, one walls-melting fart at a time." It fills me with joy to see him putting himself together, anyone who's seen real addiction up close can understand the kind of hell he has gone through to get where he is now. Nothing that funny about it, really, except the farts, especially the farts
