This reason makes sense to me.
I can understand the motivation/rationale behind changing usernames here.
But, especially if one posts quite a lot, their personality and posting style are going to reveal who they are in the long run, which raises the question - what's the point?
Originally posted by Lanny Everyone knows who capt' and §m£ÂgØL are tho. They're not trying to "save face" under a different name, neither have made any real effort to hide who they are. I'm like 90% sure both just nixed their old accounts because they wanted to leave for a while.
See, this is the case I'm trying to understand.
I can wrap my head around the need to reinvent yourself if you've made an ass of yourself.
But this scenario just doesn't make sense to me - unless, maybe you forgot your password or something? But I can't fathom how someone could let that happen more than once, maybe twice in a lifetime, before you learn better ways of managing and remembering passwords.
Originally posted by Lanny Like nigga, HTS put a highlighter up her beautiful butt more than a decade ago and we all know this. I pretended to be a girl for a gazillion years. Both §m£ÂgØL and captain take the dick. There are no secrets in this godforsaken hellhole apparently, shit I wouldn't tell close friends or my romantic partner is common knowledge here. There is no hiding from family, particularly incestuous rapey internet family.
I've said some pretty cringeworthy things in my posting history, especially ~10 years ago, and I feel like if people took those posts at face value, I could get why people might judge me harshly.
But I like to think that a reasonable person is willing to consider the broader context and how far the person has come since then. -

Originally posted by Lanny I posted unique IP stats a while ago in some thread, it's surprisingly high although of course skewed up because of (slowly) rotating addresses on consumer connections and Tor/VPNs. There are 46 accounts that have made more than 100 posts in the last month (ruling out bots, alts reg'd but not posted on significantly) which is probably a more accurate estimate of how many active distinct users there are.
I did kinda take the whole VPN scenario into account at first, but then I thought, if they're smart enough to use a VPN, they're also smart enough to better masquerade their new posting style.
PrettyHateMachine, for example, preserved his exact same grammatical format, which is particularly unique, as well as his extreme political views, which are also relatively unique.
I imagine when posters do that kind of thing, they probably don't go to the trouble of hiding behind a brand new VPN. Then again, maybe they do and they just underestimate the effectiveness of forensic linguistics.
(By the way, word to the wise in here, that's how uncle Ted Kacynzski got caught. He had a specific way in which he used or spelled certain words that investigators were able to link to personal letters he also wrote... Just sayin'.). -
2019-01-03 at 12:05 AM UTC in (Differentially) Diagnosing a Myoclonic SeizureDoes anyone here by any chance have the medical experience/expertise/knowledge to properly diagnose a myoclonic seizure?
How do you know if you've had a myoclonic seizure vs a tonic seizure, for example?
And also, how do you distinguish between a myoclonic seizure and a muscle spasm?
I'm worried that I may be experiencingextremeGHB/alcohol/benzo withdrawals and I want to figure out how serious my current condition is before I go and check myself into the hospital (which is what 811 suggested - they are the Canadian health hotline - for when you need some health advice but don't quite feel it warrants dialing 911, which is the North American emergency line).
EDIT: I wanted to strike out the "extreme" qualifier there, as well as just mention in general, it's nowhere near as bad as it might sound. I feel, almost deceptively, fine all things considered - I just have these intermittent muscle contractions that are kinda concerning me. I do plan on going to a walk in medical clinic tomorrow morning, or, if things do get worse tonight, I will go to the hospital. -
2019-01-02 at 11:58 PM UTC in If u were to die tomorrow, what legacy would you leave behind?Regarding my legacy, I would like to have impacted people positively in some way, but to be honest, my highest priority is leaving some kind of academic legacy - some kind of scholarly contribution that just ends up rocking civilization's very core.
Either that, or pulling the most epic practical joke of all time.
I want to either educate or entertain, but in a way that sustains the memory of my existence for centuries to come - especially since I don't plan on having any kids, thus meaning that whatever such legacy I leave is going to be my only footprint on this planet. -

You've gotta be the most wholesome person on this whole site.
It's almost like you generate some kind of positive force field that counters the ridiculous amounts of unjustified hate, anger, and absurdly offensive content that seems to arise around here. -

Originally posted by Speedy Parker I thought you were going to fuck off and stay sober.
Yes, kinda.
My goal was to cut back drastically on how much time I spend here for a while, although I might have indicated moreso that I was planning to go away for a while, with complete NiS abstinence, and then eventually return.
But from time to time I find myself drawn to this place. -

Originally posted by GGG They're such ugly languages compared to Spanish, French, Italian, etc, which sound like poetry.
You seem to be a big fan of the Romance languages.
Have you ever considered learning, or tried to learn, Latin?
Sure, it's a dead language, so maybe pointless to learn, but it is the progenitor from which they all were born.
I started learning Latin years ago using Rosetta Stone, but gave up after the first few weeks.
Still though, it's on my bucket list; or at least, if the human life span were longer, I totally would.
I love how they're all descended from "Vulgar Latin"... Like it's just a bunch of cuss words.
Also, gotta learn Dalmatian one of these days... -

2019-01-01 at 6:05 AM UTC in WTF is with people changing user names on this site?Ok, I realize that two of my NiS "besties" probably hold the record for most alternate accounts ever created (GGG and Ghost, I know you by your current user names, but apparently you both have had dozens of others in the past).
Then there are other users who are so clearly alts to previous names, like PrettyHateMachine and Phantasmagoria (seriously... the anti-jedi, pro-pedo stuff isn't even what really tips him off - oddly enough anti-jedi / pro-pedo seems to be a surprisingly common combination on the Internet these days... But it's literally the sentence and paragraph structure and use of, or lack of rather, punctuation).
And then you end up with all these threads full of warped neo-McCarthism where everyone is calling each other a jedi or a pedo or whatever.
Like, sometimes it makes me wonder how many unique people are actually interacting here (I made a thread about this solipsism paranoia already).
I sometimes I wish I was an admin simply to satisfy my curiosity about the IP's.
I totally believe in free speech; I'm like a zealot for that shit... But sometimes it can be a bit perturbing when it starts to feel like the same person behind a multitude of usernames.
I just want to know who's who to satisfy that strange feeling, not because I feel like they should be outted in any way for their opinions/views. -

Yeah that kind a threw me for a sec.
I wasn't sure if he meant he was learning to speak Hindi, or just learning about their religion.
Then again, nobody really says "I'm learning Christianity" or "I'm learning Judaism", so I guess logically it makes more sense that he meant the language. -

My name is Darren...
Which one is you? And which one is your friend?
It would be pretty crazy if your friend Darrin looked like me.

2019-01-01 at 3:49 AM UTC in Indians are garbageWhy are some of you so hateful?
I'm from a city with a ridiculously disproportionate number of "red dot" Indians...
According to Wikipedia (for reference):
South Asian 168,040 32.4%.
European 200,365 38.7%.
So I know what it's like to live in a community with a lot of Indian folk.
I grew up hearing all kinds of unfair stereotypes about them, some might even be true much of the time.
But it's not really fair to paint them all with such a broad brush.
Every group of people has "bad apples" that can spoil the whole bunch if you let them.
Y'all niggas need to learn some tolerance.

2019-01-01 at 3:30 AM UTC in take one last glanceIt's so weird that I'm smoking a cigarette though in that picture, because I can probably count the number of cigarettes I've smoked in my life, as well as the number of photos I've been in.
The fact that two such events co-occured is kind of statistically interesting. -
