Ulillillia is a severely mentally ill (and also possibly autistic?) man who spent years revealing everything about himself to the internet - then managed to improve his life, begin getting treatment, and has made real progress. He's the only person who ever became a better person as a result of internet exposure. He's a drat hero.

You know, there are actually plenty of people who have become better as a result of internet exposure. We see it all the time on a small scale here, ranging from the dude whos kid took herself to school to little things like people in SH/SC getting successful careers based on talks in there.

This is true. We sent a bunch of bees and goats to bee- and goat-needing people. I feel like we've also rescued a number of people from various degrees of homelessness, and donated a lot of money to sick goons with variable success.

So are we gonna just ignore that this guy keeps calling the stalker poo poo a "fandom"? Like I know you called him out for stalker poo poo, but it's the use of the word "fandom" for stalking people that gets me. There should not be a fandom for a single human. That's wierd.

Sorry to bring it back up.

this is exactly what social media is for though. people put themselves out there as influencers or microbloggers. there are tons of individual, obscure people who have fan followings. it's just instead of sharing makeup tips or terrible pranks, uli writes novels about how reality can be expressed as a video game and makes videos showing his mastery over specific game systems. he's not much different from any other nerd who puts portions of his life on the internet except his life is getting objectively better over time

if you don't think it's possible for individual people to create fandoms for themselves then i'm not sure you know what millions of people use the internet for

Yes, it's the same, that's why every author has a wiki for themselves that has little pixel art icons detailing every single shirt they have ever been photographed wearing, which is cool and not disturbing. I'm allowed to do this because they created words and put them where I could read them, that entitles me to literally every detail about a person. I am a cool and well-adjusted adult human who believes these things. If they didn't want that kind of scrutiny they should know better than to attempt to make contact with other human beings over the internet. Once they do that their lives become my lives, and I can freely collect them. They all belong to me, as I said, a very cool and well-adjusted adult human.

He emailed me once, so he's obviously fine with it. This is normal, millions of people do this.

You already look like a stalker, you're super invested in trying to convince everyone you're not. You think if you keep up this "lol internet" sort of attitude long enough people will forget about it. If I am invested in anything it's not letting you normalize your stalking as if "that's what the internet is for".

I'm not sure, that sounds right. I kept hearing his story in the format of him being a success story because "he got clean again, got the {jeep,truck,car} mostly working, and is on his way to meet [goon] where we will help him finish it"

He's doing really well. He got out of the Seattle drug hellscape, and got that truck good enough to get on a trailer and down to ExplodingSims in Florida. He's getting his life together, has been clean and sober for 18 months, is living with another goon and his family, got his teeth fixed, and is in generally much better shape than he was when you probably last heard about him. The latest vehicle he and Tremek (the goon who is letting 14" live with him) fixed and flipped pulled a lot of money on Bring A Trailer.

Important question: did he ever get Rosie the cat back? I have followed and lost track of so many of Dicer's threads that this is something I never found out.

I think last I heard he was on that trip, and there was quite a bit of good natured cynicism about him making it. Glad he did and its all working out!
