  1. Oh I have NO PROBS using mine as well. But then I have to see what they are writing when people quote them, and that's usually when I get sucked into viewing their posts and commenting on them. Let's just say, the white knight virtue signalling gene is strong with that one.
  2. I suspect I would be tarred and feathered if I popped in.
  3. I enjoy voice chatting cos I like hearing other people's voices and accents, and sometimes it's just say quicker to explain something than typing it all out. Unless people keep asking me to repeat myself cos they like giggling at how I pronounce certain words.I That being said, it's not a deal breaker for me and people have many reasons why they choose not to. That should be respected.
  4. Yeah I kept getting it too when I was trying to auto-tp in. The second I accepted, in immediately.
  5. I'm out of coke and desperate for a grocery run, but road is blocked by fire trucks cos the house across the road caught fire. Thank God it was late afternoon and everyone is safe! But need my coke! And bacon. And rubbish bags...
  6. No I'm not oppressed. I'm being erased. ~*~ You be an eagle Exavor and keep flying high.
  7. I think this is the only time I have agreed with anything you've said. Side note: REALLY hoping Musk does but Twitter. I'm not on it, but watching the freakouts on YouTube - endless entertainment!
  8. I love how you can read my mind and heart and tell the "tone" behind my words without knowing anything about me except how I post on a forum board. I'm always extremely careful in my choice of words so I can make my point concisely and without stooping to what I consider the lowest levels of debate. Because for me that is what I enjoy - debate, the exchange of ideas, learning another point of view even if I will continue to disagree with it. Cos how boring would it be if everyone agrees. As pointed out by someone earlier (sorry too lazy to scroll back to see who and get verbatim quote) as a community so focused on inclusion, you're pretty good at excluding. I'm sick of repeating that I have NOTHING against there being a dedicated section for your community. Consider me excluded out of this conversation. Good luck and exiting stage left!
  9. As someone who has been accused IN THIS THREAD of "crapping all over" the idea of a new forum for this community - when I didn't and still haven't, and then been accused of "being disturbed" by the idea of the new forum, when (again) I'm not, I also would love to see the specific examples of hatred or negativity towards this topic. As @So Whimsy pointed out, the only negativity or vitriol on this topic has been towards people like me because how dare a non-community member have opinions or ask questions in a public forum. If this community wants (and gets) their requested sub-forum, good luck to them. I will wish them well. And @Luna Bliss/ @Moondira, I got (and pretty much ignored) your message the first time. No need for sock puppetry.
  10. Continuing to reply to posts that are the equivalent of bashing my head against a brick wall at 3:45am when I really should be sleeping. It's like that saying, why do you keep hitting your head with a hammer? Cos it feels so good when I stop.
  11. Actually I didn't crap on the idea of there being a space or subforum for this community. If it will make people happy, I support it. I did make the point that it wouldn't impact me by saying that it doesn't affect my life so I have no problem with it...maybe you missed that part. I took a bit of offense to a comment aimed at MY community...the heterosexual one and commented on that. Am I calling anyone a hetero-phobe? Am I name calling anyone or being rude or obnoxious to anyone? I didn't think so, so the vitriol is a bit uncalled for. And my knickers can't be around my ankles when I'm actually not wearing any.
  12. Having a difference of opinion does not make someone a hater or a phobe. Oh for crying out loud. Whatever happened to "sticks and stones may break my bones, but names/words will never hurt me"? That was one of the idioms I grew up being taught and still believe in to this day. The world would a better place if it still was. Opinions are just that - OPINIONS. Everyone is entitled to have them, whether you agree with them or not, like them or not. Shouting down, canceling, drowning out, censoring opinions you don't like is way more harmful because you are effectively banning the freedom of speech and exchange of ideas and debate. And I'm feeling very harmed at being called "cis gendered" (which I find highly offensive) in someone's opinion up the thread, but ya know what...I put on my big girl panties and sucked it up, which is what grown ups do.
  13. I wasn't gonna say anything cos whether or not there is a dedicated sub-forum won't affect my life either way, but that comment really burned my britches. You know why there is "no hetero pride"? Cos we're not allowed to have any! Its "-phobic" or "-ist" to be proud of being white, proud of being hetero, proud of being a woman. So we're not allowed to be proud of who we are.
  14. So yesterday I applied for a grant online. I jumped through all the hoops, even had to give them a call to clarify some details on my application and after gathering up all the additional hoop jumping stuff, scanning and attaching it, I sent my application in. Today I received their reply asking that I confirm that I will be living at my new address from the house purchase settlement date for at least 6 months. Why they couldn't have had that as a tick box on the application... And in case you are interested...application approved, so yay an extra $5,000 towards my new house and $5,000 less I need on my nice shiny new mortgage!
  15. How on earth could this be all the way on page 6? https://cat-bounce.com/ Make it rain!!!!!
  16. I have just discovered Spotify - I know, late to the party - so here I am listening to tacky cheesy 80s music....at 4:20am.
  17. You 'Merikans need to put your dates in the CORRECT order. DD/MM/YYYY!!!!! Although sometimes it DOES feel like I have been awake forever!
  18. 1. You win the internet. 2. I find you posted amusing, but I'm too lazy to think up a witty response 3. If I say what I really think, I will be banned. 4. Just.....why? 5. YES!
