Another friend of mine died last year, from a tumor which wasn't discovered until far too late, and just last week I found out that another pal recently died in a car wreck.

That's terrible - very sorry for your losses, Plankton. It's difficult enough to experience the death of one friend, but three, in such a short span of time, must be very rough. I'm so sorry.

Thankyou ribbons. Johnny, which is who I'll be attending the wake for this week, was my new disc golf buddy too. He had just started and was getting pretty decent at it, but he smoked a lot. We were supposed to meet up at a local car show but he never made it, and we were waiting for him when we found out from his brother. I have a mini disc he gave me that has "Take me everywhere" stamped on the bottom, so I'll be taking that with me on vacation to Denver.

I'm glad you'll have the mini disc memento from Johnny for your trip - "Take me everywhere" indeed. Hope you manage to have a nice time; with all the recent sadness, it may be good for you to get away. Stay well and take care, my friend.

Putting aside your unfortunate attempts at humour, I don't really think we disagree. I think you're kind of a dick, you sort of acknowledge that yourself.

To be clear, I think you're a dick not because you read Foucault or like The Fall. It's because on several occasions you were rude to people without any real provocation.

And because you seem to assign value to people based on what type of music they listen to.

I value people based on how they treat other people. Which is why:


Although I don't think we listen to the same music, I really quite like Key. He seems like a nice person.

That's all. Carry on...

I assumed that was the case, at least to a degree, with me and a few users on this platform: I remember joking around about lesbian friends and their mating habits, for example.

Maybe I was wrong (this is the first anonymous forum I've used since like 2006, not saying I always read the room correctly), maybe Batlord likes the woke high ground a bit too much, dunno. But then I also can't be bothered to care what someone like adidasss thinks about me: life's too short.
