oh yeah the whole "forum battle royale" thing. I'm still in it boys, gonna floss until I die
as for me I'm okay. finally got a job (and it pays well), tried college for a semester and a half until covid ruined everything, realized that I probably have ADHD because of that, trying to come into my own, realized that I'm aroace, fun stuff like that. I've definitely changed a ton from whenever I was active here like 5-8 years ago—moved all the way over to the left politically, trying to learn all the social skills that I never caught onto, stuff like that. my life is still a big storm of dumb right now and there's a lot that I should have gotten done by now but slow and steady wins the race. it kind of pains me to see a lot of stagnation here but whatever, people will be people.
either way the decaying state of forums in general is a testament to how much discord sucks; it's convenient but god do I wish that people would use a more publicly accessible platform. I don't know how anyone is able to manage a near constant stream of information instead of just checking on a website a few times a day
