TET: Celebrating the day we stopped the alien invasion!

[Italios]

A handful of people may remember you. But as people leave the site and others join the site, you are nothing more than an ex nation amongst a world that's moved on.

At least I'm in the Awesome/funny NS Quotes thread. XD

The one time I got there, it was about how Yankees were a declaration of war in Boston, and someone who couldn't take a joke flipped and started ranting about how people outside of New England couldn't tell the difference between the term for Americans "Yankee" and the sports team.

Funny, as I live in Yankee territory.

Nonsense. When one has such a big presence, it is hard to not to notice when they leave.

Reality check; a few hundred years from now, most of us are never going to be remembered. We'll be records in a computer, writing on a gravestone, words in an archive. A lucky few of us will find some way of contributing and be remembered, but most of us will be long-forgotten.

As Ethy said, life's too short, and it's certainly too short to give a damn about how popular you are. All the popular kids I knew at school who everyone looked up to threw their lives away for popularity. Popularity is fleeting, and misleading. It makes us feel like we belong, or that we're worth something, but true worth comes from finding our own worth. Not by the worth determined by others.

This is certainly a saddening post.

I've spent time amongst cheery people. I usually put up with it for a couple of hours or so then swing in the opposite direction quite the distance. In fact that's generally what happens when I try and go clubbing - I get bored of everyone and fuck off by myself for about an hour. That gets cold.

I'll admit I don't like spending too much time around super-cheery people. The ones I've met tend to be the "ignorance is bliss" sort, and therefore lacking in stimulating conversation. Nothing wrong with being an optimistic, but there are limits. Life isn't all puppies and rainbows. I like fun people, but with a decent dose of reality in the mix.

There are only a few cheery people I like spending time with. One is my ex' sister, one is my classmate and one I - used to get along with better - is my ex. We get along, but after having dated her I've learnt she can be quite critical of herself and other people, up to the point of hurting their feelings.

They're all women. My mates I would prefer describing as 'weird' or 'crazy'.

[Lordieth]

Nah, that wasn't my intention. Sorry. I'm just not used too this

If they got rid of DI there'd only be one thread left on the forum, called "bring DI back".

Did you fit through the door okay on your way in?

[Kannap]

If you're ever feeling down, remember that you have the same amount of Oscars as Leonardo DeCaprio

That is zero... Absolute zero.

Exactly, he's not any better than you in the area of Oscars sitting on the mantleplace.

That depends entirely on your outlook. I see it as a reason to strive for giving something back, and having a genuine reason to be remembered. To me it's a positive reminder that life is short, and that our legacy is in what we give back to the World that we were brought into.

LOL. It was my poem.

And you know who put it there? Barboneia. I was like and then .

[Dyakovo]

Well, glad to see all my fingers/chest hairs are intact. Hopefully everyone's hangover is alright?

I don't get hangovers.

[Dyakovo]

Quite possible... Or they know I'll be back and are dreading the inevitable return...

You're alright, Dya. Don't let it go to your head, though. Life would be boring without a little variety about the place.

Nah, this place does nothing either for or to my ego.

Whew! Science!

I'd be the OP, of course <3

I'd be the one arguing against it happening.

[The Serbian Empire]

Eh, aren't some people still remembered here years after they left?

A handful of people may remember you. But as people leave the site and others join the site, you are nothing more than an ex nation amongst a world that's moved on.

And some disappear for a long time to comeback. I left when Kannap was still widely thought of as female, Gallade wasn't pregnant, and I was anxious about many things and still believed falsely that I was male both biologically and mentally. The former I will always be, but the latter I am not. I am Marisa.

Popularity is a novelty, anyway. In the end it just means having to perform. I don't do tricks.

Arguing against me leaving. Oh my, thanks sweetie

I'd post gifs and kaomoji's in an attempt to fill the emptiness.

Egging on the oil crisis. Good enough.

Indeed. Just be yourself. People will either like you or not.

Nah, against your return.
Being contrary is fun.

No it isn't

Yeah, absolutely the best way to be. People can spot someone trying too hard a mile off, and it's a bit cringe-worthy to watch, in truth. Forgiveable perhaps if someone is heavily insecure and just wants to fit in, but only if you learn to grow out of it.

[Lordieth]

Eggs are never good in an oil crisis. That stuff stings like hell when it spits at you.

You kidding me?

And fame can come from after death. Nobody would have remembered Buren Skeen, Friday Hassler, or Ricky Knotts if it weren't for their deaths.

That was me when I was younger. When I stopped trying to fit in, to be liked by everyone, that is when I started making real friends.
