They really just let anyone write these things, don't they?

Is it not typically like this?

[standingonmyneck]

I already hardly trust who writes them. Now I just think we finally went off the deep end.

[soulofgood]

I think I've experienced too much deep end because this seems silly but not exactly that far outside of normal for me.

[standingonmyneck]

I don't know what it says about me that I can blearily look at the trauma dumps and then get a headache at stupid.

[soulofgood]

It's only fair to get a headache at stupid when there's so much of it. Empathy is good and all but a lot of that trauma usually is out of stupidity.

[standingonmyneck]

I mean this in actual sincerity.

Don't think I could've said it any better.

[soulofgood]

Let's just say I have a lot of experience in trauma making people so dumb things. Myself included.

this is an all around improvement actually

[standingonmyneck]

I guess we aren’t burying bodies again.

[unliminal]

damn i must've missed that one
shame

[standingonmyneck]

Shoot, should've saved the bag of dismembered hands.

[unliminal]

why the hands?
unless it was some kind of witch brew or monkey's paw situation

[standingonmyneck]

We couldn't figure it out either. Decided we didn't want to know.

So we buried it. Where no one will find it.

[unliminal]

that sounds like a challenge to me

[angellust]

think you could do better?

[standingonmyneck]

That depends. I don’t need anything I’d actually bother bribing anyone for. Unless if I somehow magically get hedonistic overnight.

[angellust]

oh, come on. everyone's got something they want, deep down. i'm sure if you posted on the board, there'd be some schmuck out there willing to get it.

I dunno if I want to pay someone to do my meager labor. I'd rather get paid to do the bare minimum.

[angellust]

but are you getting paid? like, at all?

[standingonmyneck]

I see you're asking for brutal honesty.


The pay is absolute ass. If it's not a useless trinket, it's maybe a burger and a shake's worth of pity change.

[angellust]

yikes. so i guess the boards aren't really a good source of income. that sucks.

[standingonmyneck]

A more optimistic person will say that poor is better than dirt poor. And you're actually helping someone in need.

But I'm no optimist. We're almost free labor.

[angellust]

damn.

well, thanks for being candid with me. i don't really care about helping people in need for scraps.

Oh good, so I'm not going nuts. Figured it must've been some jokester's idea of a prank, after the last one with all those fish posters.
