The purpose of a troll is to:
Provoke a negative response
Create chaos
Derail discussions
Manipulate perceptionMaybe the idea for al of "HIS' trolling IS to make everyone drop out and leave the site. I can't say exactly what the objective would be, but I know something great would be lost for a lot of people. A since of creative freedom and thought would be lost for sure.
This has been a great site that I've been visiting regularly for nearly 20 years (NewsToday **Jingle**). It's been an incredible source (and resource) of inspiration for myself and a lot of other people. It's a bummer seeing folks like Scarabin get trolled out of the space. There will always be trolls in every corner of the internet that will try to crush anything that has value (like this site). So, as the old saying goes, "If you look away from the monster, then it will vanish". Ignore the shit that 1. Provokes a negative response 2. Creates Chaos 3. Derails the discussions (Creative Forum) or 4. when you feel your own perceptions or beliefs are being manipulated.
- Don't let my typos, spelling or grammatical errors provoke a negative response either, hahatoemaas

lol if you think @sted is gone you really are damn slow
the issue with many around here is that they think they can post bullshit being anonymous while this forum is public and everything said will be with us for many many years...
There are many among us that from the start used their real identities and we are a nice community except the losers with multiple accounts thinking they can say anything without repercussions
David left because YOUR bullshit was maybe affecting his professional life
Maybe I should start a project this year cloning QBN but with everybody's real names and identities, let's see then how much bullshit will you be posting huh?
- you mad!monospaced
- "Doxing is illegal under EU GDPR and Romanian privacy law." AweYakuZoku
- And for the best part of a few years even with our stupid fights I still respect David as a voice of reason

Damn flu! I just can't seem to get better. More than a week, and I've been stumbling around and dizzy all day, completely drained. And I need to be at my best; I have a ton of work to do, like every year... Ugh!
I'm going to take it easy today and tomorrow, and hope I'm better on Monday. I don't like it, I really don't like it!

I just came back from grabbing a nice cup of hot chocolate for my morning ritual here in NE Minneapolis. The trilling echoes of whistles filled the chilly morning, while images of a mercado being raided came into view. How long before they come for me?

For the first time in my life, that America is starting to fucking scare me man.

My country (Denmark) is actually internally discussing military defense in case of a (albeit highly improbable) US takeover of Greenland (that defense would last 4 minutes, I know).
W the actual F.
The world loathes Trump and his criminal administration. Who in their right mind doesn't.
- yeah what in the fuck indeed, just watched the orange cunt basically say "we're taking Greenland the easy way or the hard way"YakuZoku
- Speculating here, but the worry may be that Denmark would put up a 4 minute defense against Russia, and Greenland would then come along for the ride.monNom
- And like with Ukraine. Russia would say ‘it’s ours forever’. I don’t know that is actually the motivation, but there definitely some sabre rattling recentlymonNom
- @monNom "the worry"? You mean Trumps worry that Russia would annex Greenland?jagara
- Denmark has openly offered the US to increase their military presence on Greenland 10X. However, for the Orange Cunt Supreme (OCS) this is not enough.jagara
- OCS: "When we own it, we defend it. You don't defend leases the same way, you have to own it."jagara

- @jagara sorry if my comments seemed heartless. I was only theorizing about what could be motivating this (if the situation in eu deteriorates)monNom
- @monNom I didn't see them as heartless. And I completely agree that Greenland is strategically important.jagara
- That doesn't give the US any right to buy or annex, which is what bothers me.jagara
- We cool, dude :)jagara
- some speculate Trump wants the US out of Nato, and this is a sure fire way to do it.Nutter
- I think naval drones change the calculus of how you can project power across the sea. Look how fucked up ru got in the Black Sea. Lost their flagship.monNom
- US took damage in Red Sea too. Basically to speedboats. You can’t be doing that. Big ships take yeeeears to build.monNom

Fever again, stamina at %25, tiiiiiiired, on inhalers, this isn't looking good :'(
By Tuesday, I'm going to the doc... I've had this "flu" for almost three weeks.
- Doc sounds like a plan. Feel better...mort_
- I had a flu turn into pneumonia once, took me out for weeks. Just like you describe. Doc tomorrow is not a bad idea.monNom
- 3 weeks is rough, and a little out of the norm. I hope you feel better soon. FLUIDS!monospaced
- Thanks guys, I woke up sweating like crazy, paracetamol, some dairy and juice... I have broth for later... seems better today!OBBTKN
- Three weeks? jeez. Something serious? See the doc asap. Get well.NBQ00
- I finally had a doctor's appointment today. They took x-rays, and I'm having full blood work tomorrow. I hope it's just an infection :(OBBTKN
- @NBQ, it hasn't been continuous, I've had a few relapses... but in the end they've consumed all my energy.OBBTKN

Thinking about the death of an aunt in San Francisco. She was almost 90 years old.
The hospital had a protocol called “comfort”. Basically, it consists of putting the person in a larger room, where they slowly die in front of their family and friends. No water, no food.
When we put some damp cotton swabs on her lips, my aunt grabbed them and squeezed them to get the water out, in obvious desperation...
In my opinion, it was a cruel scene; nothing about that experience was comforting.
Is this a common practice? I would prefer assisted death, but who knows...
This also leads me to question all the bitterness and pointless conflicts in which I sometimes find myself entangled.
At the ends we all vanish like dust.
- I’m so sorry you had to go through this. It’s heartbreaking. Was this different from palliative care?monospaced
- Apparently that was palliative careSalarrue
- I went through similar less than two years ago. This is as close to assistance as they go.monospaced
- Months ago, visiting my mother, The patient in the next bed wasn't progressing well, so before moving her to palliative care, they changed her room...OBBTKN
- and there she came back to life!
She'd listen to something the nurses said. We call the palliative care unit "El secadero."OBBTKN - yeah it's pretty sad to see and go through, a tank full of piranha would be more dignified...or at least quicker_niko

Why do women repeatedly ask men (specifically me) WHY they are attracted to younger women?
"I mean, why is that? What is it with men? Why are they so OBSESSED with younger women? I don't GET it!"
I we have to be like "I know, right? People are SO superficial! Me PERSONALLY, I have NEVER been that attracted to hot young women with firm tits and perfect skin and plump lips and flat stomachs and asses yet unaffected by gravity, I don't know what's UP with that".
Gah.
