Do I really have a choice?

WHAT LETTER IS MISSING FROM CONCORDIA? WAIT A MINUTE, IT IS MISSING THE E!

1. "Dealing with emotions" is usually code for "accurately recognizing, experiencing, and expressing emotions in a mature and appropriate manner"
2. "Grounded" is usually code for "understands themselves and has a well-developed sense of their own reality to the degree that new experiences will be assimilated and not send them into a tailspin".

A thought is original if the thinker has not thought it before, even if it has been thought by someone else previously. That boosts things quite a lot. For example, which watching Grizzly Man the other day I thought "Holy hell! It's a good thing the bear ate him" and even though probably every single person who sees that movie has the same thought, it was new to me.

I was going to post my picture last night but I had a whiskey-drinking date, and now also I have to go swimming. So it will have to wait!

My personal information is allll over the net. Srsly, it's ridiculous. But I guess I don't really care that much or I wouldn't have put it out there, so whatever! I'll just have to be careful to not do anything awful enough that would make people want to track me down and gang-rape my shrubbery.

 

On the second reading I read it as the voice of the Machine/organism.

I know there is no way to find me based on my nigel-y name. But if anyone got hold of my real first name it would be instant doom. I mean, inasmuch as they could send me a postcard or something. My parents cursed me with a very distinctive first name. Damn hippies!

Oh shit 

You see, this is all reinforcing my belief that the formula to calculate the volume of a cone is also the formula that proves absurdity.

Although some of the jerks around here will find out your real info just so they can Google your name and see what sort of a loser you were when you were 14. (This sulky expression is directed YOU, Payne )

Haha OK cool! I can relax my ninja stance! Also I will post a pic later. Wait, is it a trap?

You will be given a gift from the gods if you post a pic. Srsly. I speak from experience. Most people here have a pic on file in the annals of the WOMP repository.

Will... will the "gift" be my face Photoshopped into a composite image of George Michael assraping a wombat?





Oh goodie!

Haha OK cool! I can relax my ninja stance! Also I will post a pic later. Wait, is it a trap?

Oh, another thing that brought this up in my mind is that I noticed a couple of people posting about what they do for work, and it was pretty obvious that they're not worried about someone tracking them down... even though Aini's fire-eating is pretty distinctive. Oh, and she posted a picture, too. So I guess she's not at all worried about being hunted down like a dog by a horde of angry baby-eating Christians.

Hahahaha OK. As for LMNO, my plan worked <group fap>

I am on several other forums, and my job involves marketing shit on the internet, so my personal information is already out there, in a professional (if you can call it that) context. I honestly don't mind at all if you guys trenchcoat around in front of my house, and the MIB already know who I am, so that's no biggie. I guess I'm partly thinking of Roger's situation, but again... I know it's pretty easy for Joe Schmoe to find someone's personal information with very little to go on.

I troll rarely and carefully, and generally at total random in ways that make me giggle, so I doubt that would be an issue.

I guess the only people I'm worried about are people who randomly hate everyone who posts on this board, and I'm wondering if that's ever even a problem.

If not, well shit, I might as well start bitching about the mundane shit that plagues my personal life. 

Soooooooo I have been on this here board thing for a couple of weeks, and I'm starting to trust you people to some degree.
I noticed that most of you seem to know each other pretty well, as is normal and logical from being on a board together over time. My question is, how closely is wise and prudent to guard details of one's personal life and identity? Not knowing, I have been careful not to reveal anything about my family life, hobbies, or work. I figure my eating habits and education are unlikely to give too much away because lots of people take math classes and eat a lot of olives. My name is generic enough. Am I basically on the right track, or am I being needlessly paranoid?

LMNO has my email address, and from which could easily track down everything there is to know about me, but the letters LMNO seem inherently trustworthy.

Yeah, that's so ironic.

OH THE EXTREME IRONY

This whole thread was worth reading just for that link.

Also I am glad I didn't read it when I first signed up, I would have been way more self-conscious and weird about posting if I had.
