What is wrong with you people lately? Recently someone was whining about having their avatar ripped off, and now we’re onto usernames.
I don't recall anyone being granted exclusive ownership rights to a handle or an image when they signed up or uploaded a profile pic.
Besides, what am I supposed to say? There are like a million versions of melloworca6 floating around this forum. Just the other day, I stumbled across some posts from melloworca26 😬
I can’t quite recall the exact brands off the top of my head, but they come from all sorts of different manufacturers. You should be able to find them at any local CVS or Walgreens, though you might have to hunt around for different sizes.
Once you peel it off the paper, it turns transparent and you just slap it right over the existing stitch. If you actually apply the bandage correctly, it seals itself to your skin perfectly. It isn't a 100% waterproof guarantee, but if it sticks properly, water stays out.
Man, two years ago my skin was just covered in these massive welts after getting bitten—every single one was about half an inch wide. It wasn't even the itching that got me; it was that stinging sensation whenever I tried to scratch them. I ended up breaking my own rule about avoiding heavy chemicals and just used some Off! spray to deal with it.
I don't know what kind of mosquitoes were out there, but whatever they were, they weren't normal. I spent the entire summer walking around with those bumps.
Larry Walker24 said:Honestly, nothing gets me more hyped than watching admins and mods just handing out bans to each other like they're passing around candy.
Mods can't actually hand out warnings to one another; that’s strictly an admin job.
Anyway, staying on topic here—I don't want to end up getting flagged like those two above🙂—but I really wish my inbox was a bit bigger. It’s constantly overflowing and I am way too lazy to clear it out. 🙂
Matthew Anderson4 said:Your idea is stupid. Even stupider is this thing where you finish your suspension but keep your points, so if someone hits you with another 10-point penalty, you’re right back to zero. It makes you wonder what kind of points those people were even earning during those three days they were banned.
The idea is actually great. The whole point is to make you actually watch how you act, rather than just serving a sentence and going right back to your old ways.
hollowsailor48 said:Since Sasha hasn't bothered to reply to my DM (because let’s face it, she probably doesn't even know why she handed out the ban in the first place. Likely just one of those bad days) Can someone with a functioning brain please explain to me how this post qualifies as trolling? 🙏 Is there any greater truth than what I laid out here? 🤷 (maybe it comes off as sarcastic or cynical or whatever buzzword people are using these days). But honestly, it was sound, realistic advice. If I were a woman I would have taken it, or at least perceived it that way. The fact that she failed to grasp it is her own problem. (maybe she should have read it twice) 🤷
Our first formal appeal to the moderators. 👋 Sasha is going places. 😁
Anyway, back to the point. Please tell me you're joking. All this drama and fuss over a YELLOW card.
First off, be glad Sasha noticed your post and not me, because then you wouldn't be looking at a yellow card—you'd be facing a red for trolling.
Second, you walked into a thread titled "Am I pregnant?" and posted that condoms and birth control pills are cheaper than diapers. I don't know how anyone is supposed to interpret that as anything other than provocation and mockery. It definitely wasn't "advice."
And if that yellow card is bothering you that much, do you want me to ask the admins to take it off and just give you a red instead?
