Hellaftorning.
That was such a huge effort to try to fit in with what this has become.
I am definitely being very autistic when I ask this, but what is the point of the greetings when nothing else ever happens here now? I am trying to understand and I am probably going to go away again very soon because I don’t get it.

It's an empty tradition that we maintain despite having completely forgotten its original significance.
Possibly the crops will fail and general disaster will ensue if we ever stop doing it, though.

Then will Wickerman show up?
Probably get called a liar even if he does.

Usually it's just a way of starting a thread without setting a topic
Other stuff does happen, but it's not often people chatting about their preferences or experiences in a straightforward way. In fact I reckon some people come here partly to get away from that kind of interaction.
There are also a lot of in-jokes and references, they're not hard to pick up but it's probably a bit much at first.

Reddit is like screaming in a gigantic bus station in America.
At least on here you know you’re just sort of screaming in a bus station in a middle sized town somewhere quaint in England even if you don’t live here.

But did they have the internet so you could wish people a nice time of day?

no it was years ago we just had books and happiness.

(, Wed 11 Nov 2026, 20:22, Reply)
I just bought books.
It has been a trial. I have been used to expanding the text on a kindle for my elderly eyes. I have reading glasses to see stuff that I can’t expand. Now I have books that cannot expand and my glasses can’t even keep up. I shall persist, in being old and unable to see small things easily. I am, however, quite happy, despite my incessant whining about how shit everything is right now.

on the bright side of degrading vision everyone will look more attractive. that's nice. i mean, on the bright side.

I don’t find anyone attractive which is useful.

Or anywhere.
I can tell if someone is aesthetically pleasing but also give, literally, no fucks.

Thank you, I appreciate that
Also I keep trying to press tab on an iPad which has no fucking tab key, well done, Lulu. Everything is always nearly in caps on this bit. I hadn’t been here in sixteen years and it changed a lot so I was confused and we obviously all changed and whatever. I shall stop trying to make it be not how it is.

Yeah sorry for leaving for 1.5 decades.
And not sorry for coming back to be a pest.

have you enjoyed those 15 years, without us?

(, Wed 11 Nov 2026, 20:11, Reply)
Somewhat.
It was just one user who was being particularly awful and I wandered off, to the point cr3 deleted everything I ever said or did at my request.
(, Wed 11 Nov 2026, 20:15, Reply)
oh he deleted me too. not at my request. a few times, thinking about it.

(, Wed 11 Nov 2026, 20:23, Reply)
He also kindly let me back in because I’d long forgotten my login details.
I proved I was me by showing him his eBay purchase from me when I sold him an annoying upstairs neighbour for £15.
