I have to say, I suspected this. Being honest. I said to myself, "What could run off Stamets," and that's exactly what I came up with. The benefit of being closer to 40 than 30 I guess.
Now to join your community. Thank you genuinely for commenting here for me to see directly. I'm not good at creating content (every time I ever got a burst of creativity on reddit I was banned for posting too much so I just stopped making memes) but I comment like a sumbitch!

Here's hoping we see a response.

There was this mean thing people would say back in like the 90s, that the people complaining online win every argument because everyone who had success was busy being in a relationship.
- Comment on I'll try to follow my very emotionally healthy idols better 11 months ago:
I think that is exactly why that problem persists. Among a certain subset of the population, there is no need to look further. Why assume that there's a deeper message there?
Which is why it's always so frustrating when you see someone arguing that you should only be able to vote if you serve. (Yes, this really happened to me.)

Did you just try to explain sarcasm to me? Hahaha!

This is sugoidesu. Which translates to "Amazing."
I can't say I find it amazing. I don't wanna eat step-on-balls flavored Doritos!

I was crying so hard a contact popped out and I had to finish the game half blind!
- Comment on Sokath, his eyes uncovered! 11 months ago:
The thing is... do they? We don't know that they're actually referencing anything at all. I always thought that, once you got the vibe, you could contribute to the conversation with the phrasing and use the implied story of the phrase for the context.
I might say to you, "Kyle, when Janet left him." You don't need to know who Kyle or Janet are to infer that this might not be a good thing. Alternatively, I might say that, and mime like I'm wiping sweat from my brow as of relieved, and it might change the meaning.
We have no real way of knowing what history they might be referring to. Or if there even is one.

I'm sure Riker would be interested in observing this mix-up. He seems like he might be willing to boldly go.

Antifa? Terrorists?
Not the first time I've been labeled a terrorist incorrectly, probably won't be the last.
- Comment on Deaf 11 months ago:
I'm a hearing individual but I'd like to say that I always enjoy subtitles and I really the way they sometimes describe the emotion music intends to convey.
Like when it says "romantic melody" or "suspenseful music." I like having that spelled out for me because sometimes I'll hear the music and I'll get a completely different vibe from what's playing than what was intended.
"Why is this horror scene playing elevator music" has been a real question I've asked myself, only for the subtitles to tell me I misinterpreted the music.
- Comment on Why does it seem like women are more wont to make noise in sexual situations while men don't? 11 months ago:
Fair enough! I was looking at that Wikipedia entry and that's where I got that but I'm open to other non-cavewoman-gangbang answers.
Personally I'm loud every second I'm having fun and I can't say I know of any scientific weapon for it. But it'd be nice for that to be more optional than it is!
- Comment on It's like everyday 11 months ago:
I just wanted to say these comments are off the chain. This is how the internet used to be- just people chatting, making jokes and telling stories.
I didn't know hoe much I missed it.
