It was more so during 2020 ... COVID. I was way too emotional back then and I recently remembered it... I don't feel worthy of those kind words you said. I might be overblowing it but y'all really have made me feel so much better over the year I've gone through (largely my fault)

I remember you killing my pet squirrel back then, but other than that you've always been nice. <3

I've literally only ever seen you being kind and genuine, never a hint of malice, so I'm not sure what you're talking about lol. You're one of the most empathetic people on the board.

I get frustrated with the console warring and what not, but this is undoubtedly the best forum out there, no question.

I'll never forget what you guys did for my cat, Agent Mauer, a few years ago. She's still around now, thanks to those radiation treatments. You fuckers helped me save my family member, and for that I adore this board forever.

Thanks for the kind words, DeafTourette DeafTourette . I enjoy talking with you as well. :)

As for mentioning others, Ailynn Ailynn comes to mind. One of my favorite people to ever grace the forum. I think she stepped away for personal reasons. I hope she's doing well.

Yeah Ailynn Ailynn (won't let me tag her) was a sweetheart while she was on here. I hope she's ok too.

Edit: weird.... She got tagged anyway!

You two are definitely good eggs on here ... I don't see enough of y'all anymore... And I haven't seen Richard Packer Richard Packer in ages! I thought he left the board. Or maybe I just haven't been paying attention.

I want to participate more but I've been very busy as of late. I somehow got the VA to approve me going back to school so I'm working on a third degree!!! While that's very exciting, it's also very stressful as I'm near 40 now and I struggle with staring at screens for too long. I get bad headaches, so while I'm thankful for another degree for free, I'm also, unfortunately, very stressed out and struggling. Kind of a dichotomy of emotions lol.

I fall so short brother. I don't think I deserve those kind words because I know I've been a dick to some of y'all. I truly apologize for those times. I have no excuse for my past behavior. It's on me. But I wanted this to be about Y'ALL! You guys make this board a haven from the pain and cruelty of regular life.

Hey, being a dick can be genuine sometimes, too. Maybe by "genuine" you mean kind, supportive, understanding, that sort of thing. To me, genuine means honest. Sometimes being a dick is the honest response. Not the most socially graceful response, maybe, but the honest/genuine one. None of us are all good, all sugar and spice and everything nice. Most of us have rough edges and aggressive parts that come out occasionally. And that's fine.

Thank you for the surprise, DeafTourette DeafTourette .

It means a lot to me.
The qualities being recognized come at an auspicious time as I'm moving into a stern phase, and housecleaning.

Hate the drug not the addict has been a general go to in that regard. When discussing media it's easy to tell the podpeople who've waited for a thought fix from their dealer(influencer/idol) and wants others addicted to the same. It's genuinely great when someone's free of addiction.

Sad I didn't make the cut. I don't post often, but I am genuine....ly upset.

DT, you're the most positive person, by far, on this board.

I'm trying to be positive for my peoples. Too much negativity in this world. We all are going through things so we have to show love and/or recognition to each other.

Genuine people are few and far, but when you meet one you hold onto that friendship.

Twelve years ago, I got to work with this artist I knew of and appreciated his work. Since then we've built two companies together (I do drop shipping for his, and he helps promotes my company and puts us in a good light). Our daughter calls him an uncle and he always brings a smile to everyone's face when he is around. When ever I talk to anyone and he comes up in conversation, I explain that he is a genuine person.

I’m getting up there in age too. Just generally I’ve found my quality of life goes up the less time I spend online. Went to a job that requires in office (which I was excited for) and wound up moving so my free time is severely limited lately.

Big agree, OP. Those (and a handful more) are the people who keep me coming back.

Basically everyone in the Friday Night thread is a fuckin legend as far as I’m concerned.

Most people are genuine, when they are able and have the strength to be so, life has its up and downs, enough to drive alot of us into the abyss then and now.

But, in the end, most of us are able to climb back out, even if for a little bit, and be decent.

So true. I've rarely met actual bad people. But I've met plenty of good people who do bad things due to their negative circumstances. Yes, there are some genuine cunts out there, but I learned a long time ago to look at why a person acts the way they do before judging.
