Hello, Doc! I am not likely to be nearly as active as I once was. I do most of my social media over on BlueSky now. And you may see me online in City of Heroes from time to time - been occasionally streaming that with a friend on his Twitch channel.
… I think I missed something.
Under Discourse as configured for SDMB, there’s no way to delete a post once made. But you can edit it for IIRC 20 minutes. And the minimum legal post size is 5 characters.
So if somebody makes a post in error, or realizes they had said something stupid they’d like retract before too many people notice, editing the contents to read “never mind” is the local cultural standard.
And it’s the reader’s choice to imagine it said like Emily Litella or not.
These days, I’m mostly in the Wordle and Death Pool threads, although I’ve started to show up more in other threads lately.
My main online home these days is a mostly political blog called Balloon Juice, but for obvious reasons it’s hard to spend much time hanging out in a mostly political blog these days. And one of the good qualities of this message board is that one can go to P&E and debate politics endlessly, or stay away from P&E and the Pit and discuss a million other things. And that latter choice appeals to me right now.
Anyhow: hi OP, I remember your nym, and have generally positive thoughts associated with it.
Czarcasm, this is the first I’ve heard of your loss, and I’m very sorry to hear this news. Especially about the cats. But even aside from them, losing not only your home but all the minutiae that make up one’s life is tough. There are things that money can’t replace.
Likewise! I am doing everything I can to help people being harmed by the current political environment, but I do understand the need to withdraw sometimes for one’s own sanity.
