Ugly In The Morning posted:Every goon I’ve met IRL has been fun to hang with. I mean, in the ten years I’ve been regged (as of today!) that’s been like four goons but still, all good people. Every goon I've met has been nice too. That just means it's probably me that is the goonie one.

credburn posted:A decade and more ago I got in trouble for some stuff I didn't really have anything to do with but was in such a way that I could not detach myself from it, so I was going to commit suicide. I made some mention of it, talked about the pragmatism of it, and while a lot of goons were like DO IT DO IT and others were kind of helpful, someone (I don't know who) did some Internet sleuthing, somehow discovered my name (which I don't recall ever giving out back then) and then found some family members and told them about it. I don't know if that saved my life, necessarily, but that action did clue my family in on what was happening, which changed the entire dynamic of everything and that wouldn't have happened otherwise. I sure wasn't going to tell my family about my plans. I was really pissed off at the time, because to me it only complicated what was supposed to be kind of a simple exit. Just empty quoting this to say I'm glad you're here to still post.

crowtribe posted:SA got me through my initial realisation I had some pretty crippling depression that I had been shying away from facing and finally started seeking treatment. People were often an open book about their lives and personal struggles in the oddest of threads that it was the first step in being able to talk about it openly in my real life.

cherry13chumscum posted:I like you guys a lot but I am out of here. Mods are gassing the Lowtax threads. That is not just lovely, it destroys the free speech that the Internet was supposed to provide. I'm now on https://www.something-waffle.com and the hell with this place. No offense to all you goons. Or well most of you anyway drat, I heard you had some fat titties and was hoping to see them posted here one day. Sources close to King Jeffrey say he is looking at removing the home grown rule. Shine bright at your new home comrade. Please note I will sue you if you use my avatar there and disrespect me.

StrixNebulosa posted:It's taken therapy and time to get used to posting here, as well as lots of instances of me posting and then not getting probed/yelled at/etc for it. Keep at it, your avatar is real cute too! I take the opposite view on probes. They're just the price of playing. Obviously this changes when they become longer and more frequent but sometimes you gotta fly close to the sun just to feel a bit warm. Sometimes you just want a cat on there too.

Cowslips Warren posted:Some years ago I remember a goon who lived close to me (like a city or so away) posting about his bad day cause he had lost his jobs and his kids were hungry. This was way before Uber, so I overnighted a box of nonperishable food to him. Pretty sure the bread got crushed, sorry goon! But he sent me this teary thank you email, which helped me realize I have a lot of things, and if I can help one person a day, I'm doing good. On that note way back in the day when I had a lot more disposable income than now I gifted a goon some money as they'd been laid off right before Christmas. It was less than I would have spent at the bar on any given Friday night so it's not like it was hurting me and the feeling I got knowing that they could get xmas presents for the family was way better a feeling than booze ever gave me. While I still give to charity when I can it's not the same as the tangible results you get from helping someone directly.

Nessus posted:A goon helped me move for the low price of a delicious Wendy's meal. Later, a different set of goons taught me how to make ten thousand dollars. My forums investment has repaid itself immensely! I am glad we are all here. drat I wish goons had taught me how to make money. All I've learned is how to laugh at a distended rectum

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:SA has helped me not take politics quite so seriously since I joined. I still worry and rage over it, often when I'm catching up on politics threads I follow here. The last four or five years has given me lots of material for that, as we all know. But reading threads where people make fun of fash-y politicians and cartoonists has helped me develop more of a sense of humor instead of just despairing all the time.
