The Nice, Never Mean, Slightly Intrusive At Times, Personal Questions Thread

This site is a relic of an earlier age of the internet. Is it just me or was the internet more fun back when this place came to exist?

I dunno. There were more forums, that's fer sure.

Mega social media platforms are killing places like this. They are OK, convenient for communication with a large audience, but come with significant downsides we're all aware of. I do think the Internet was more fun in earlier times. Hell, Usenet was great!

Ever had a strong sense you lived in a location in a past life?

I've always been strongly pulled to London. I even somewhat knew my way around when I first visited there in the '90s, but had the strangest sense that it was different, it had changed.

Ever had any experiences like that?

I always felt I belonged in the 1930's.

[Rev. Powell]

That feeling is completely alien to me.

Reincarnation has always made sense to me, so for that matter has atheism and the idea life is a biological process of finite proportions, and honestly what I can't wrap my head around are the claims of my chosen religion, which seems to raise more troubling questions than it gives comforting answers. Ultimately I can't know the answers that preoccupy me, but for what it was worth, I did have those experiences in London, whatever they meant.

Bearing in mind your fear of horses, have you ever felt like you were a member of Russian royalty in a previous life?

If you had the ability to turn your emotions off and on, is that something you'd do never, rarely, often, or leave it your default setting?

I think having a strong sense of empathy is the one thing that checks the amoral streak I supposedly have, so I think I might be scared to do it, honestly, but I can think of eras in my life where it would have been tempting. Like the second half of 2000, and maybe again in 2015.

Never. Who wants to be a zombie?

[Leah]

I really want to turn my emotions on more often. I really like wearing my emotions on my sleeve.

[indianasmith]

I am honestly very comfortable with my feelings.
I wouldn't want to shut them off.

[Trevor]

Never. Who wants to be a zombie?

My nephew and niece call me Uncle Zombie: I have never figured out why 😳😉🧟‍♂️

[ER]

Which do you use more, paper money, or pay by card?

I trust paper a lot more, so, it.

[Alex]

I do a mix of both although I am more comfortable with cash.
