there is no hope left for you 😛

Precisely.
If she were actually standing here talking to me, that is exactly what I would tell her straight to her face!
😬

I can see you are closely monitoring my Nazi work everywhere I go. 👍

Susan Wood3 said:this individual is nothing more than a corporate shill 🤣

he is being paid handsomely to manipulate the discourse here 😬

I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. Such impeccable insight! 👍

mellowgull80 said:Is this based on actual experience? 😁

I am of the firm belief that one should only offer recommendations when there is a genuine demand for them. However, looking at your current standing here, it seems to me that your reputation isn't quite what it should be, so I wouldn't trouble yourself with such matters right now...

Forgive me, but if it were up to me, I would move this thread to the.......

.... fashion section (damn these topic rules) 😠

edit: Wait just a second!!

If I had my way, I would move this to the main TOPIC instead. 👍

shadowrider8 said:To build upon that point... is it actually possible to change my username while keeping everything else exactly as it is?

I personally find your username quite charming, 😍

Is your handle written in the pluperfect tense or what? 🙂

Because, in all honesty, it really is quite excellent, regardless of any other factors... 🙂

If you are truly insistent on making this change, I would strongly suggest reaching out to one of our female administrators regarding the matter (ideally Desiree).
A username change would be most straightforward if it were purely cosmetic—meaning minimal adjustments are required—and provided, naturally, that the desired name isn't already taken. However, every unique situation deserves its own individual review and will certainly be considered, so I once again urge you to contact the aforementioned administrator... 😉

silentsailor5 said:Someone was advertising their products via private message; I simply forwarded the details to Desiree, and she took care of it. At least, I hope so, since her response seemed affirmative 😉

I must commend the administration for such prompt responses 😉

We are currently addressing those advertising issues...

Regrettably, when dealing with those "bad actors" who harass people through direct messages, the only practical advice I can offer is to utilize the ignore function immediately. 😉

Carol Nguyen63 said:As far as I am concerned, there is no single, definitive answer to that particular question.

1) If the topic isn't ancient history—if it's one of those timeless subjects where a discussion can always evolve and new participants can offer fresh perspectives—and if the subject matter remains GENERAL rather than becoming highly PERSONALIZED, then I am in favor. There is a massive distinction, for example, between a thread started by Mortyne titled "Have you sold out?" and that exact same topic being reframed as "I did this and that, what do you think about my actions?" which then causes the thread to explode because she is discussing her own specific life...
Certain threads (though they are rare...) truly ought to be placed in the top pinned section because they address eternal questions, and doing so would prevent the constant reopening of identical or nearly identical topics under different names.
2) In all other circumstances, I am strictly against it.

Carol Nguyen63 explained that point quite brilliantly! 👍

In short, general discussion threads—where someone looking to revitalize a topic sees an opportunity to resolve their own lingering doubts—absolutely make sense to revive; however, attempting to address an author from 2002 by advising them, six years later, whether or not to call someone using a title like "Urgent: Should I call or not?" is frankly a bit insane.

Furthermore, on our forum, we already maintain a featured top thread List of Important Topics, which serves as a sort of collection of master topics, where I invite you all to post your inquiries so that we might avoid the daily occurrence of new threads being opened regarding the exact same issues. 👍

I would go so far as to assert that this simply will not work! 🤷

Good heavens... 😍

Get this thread started right away, girl!! 🤣

👍 Just press on, and let us maintain our characteristic gentleness as we have done until now.

Good grief, everyone, if I were to actually start handing out bans... wait, have I already begun??? Very well then... I certainly have no intention of issuing any penalties for the sake of trolling or petty insults... that would be far too simple.. 🙂

Because they are pleasant... why on earth do people crave pleasantness? It is simply because it feels good! Good heavens, what more is there to say about it... 🤷
even if it isn't strictly accurate... what matters most is the flattery... 👍

🤣

Aaron Johnson47 said:Just read the headline.

It is certainly not an impossibility.
pm Desiree! 😉

We are making a concerted effort to ensure that no profanity finds its way into our headlines, especially since the subject matter discussed within this sub-forum is intended for a more mature audience!

Given that we are discussing young children, my formal recommendation is that parents actively monitor their internet usage rather than leaving them entirely unsupervised online. 👍

Best regards 🙂

goldenfox24 said:there is absolutely no need for further concern because I have personally reached out to the supermoderator and the thread has been wiped clean from existence
thank goodness I have connections in high places here on Reddit

hahaha, you "contacted" them... lol

if that is really what you are claiming... lol
fine then! 👍

On which specific thread was this being discussed again?! 🤣🤣🤣 hehehe
👍

goldenfox24 said:I am fully aware that I am risking my final 30 points to face a potential ban, but even so, I find myself compelled to demand an explanation as to what on earth the moderators are actually doing on this Reddit
over in the teen sub-forum, specifically regarding that thread about why Tom should be ostracized—people are being absolutely vile and hurling insults at him, yet there is absolutely zero moderation or intervention whatsoever.

This post is intended for technical support on the Reddit...
it belongs much closer to the complaint !!! section.

But I have seen it now, fine... I will take a look myself. 🙂

Dana Reyes5 As specified by:
I must offer my sincerest commendations to DD, for they have forcefully propelled a most logical and unavoidable question into the light: why exactly did you not apply that specific model when attempting to resolve the ongoing discourse over at LJES? 🤷

Dana Reyes5, we really ought to move this conversation over to the MK chat, as discussing this here is purely off-topic and deviates from our current subject. 🙂

Grace Wood5 As stated by:
And just one little extra thing for Septy, Strilac, and rowdyhawk10!! Listen up, people! It truly is quite profound. They truly do an exceptional job at what they do.
Regardless of any prior skepticism, I must assert with absolute certainty that DD has successfully completed his tasks over at MK. An absolutely stellar performance; truly an exceptional job well done. Finding that perfect equilibrium between discipline, constructive guidance—if we can even call it that—and the kind of genuine, lighthearted banter that ought to be the lifeblood of every single PDF, is an art form in itself. It is a delicate balancing act, truly. Now, I maintain that NT is an exceptionally capable successor; he possesses all the necessary qualities, yet he is still very much in that transitional phase of finding his footing and settling into the rhythm of things. Look at this. I am making a very sincere effort here to maintain decorum and act with proper tact, but I find myself compelled to pose one singular, pressing question. Given the recent inundation of youngsters that necessitated the closure of the discussion threads over at LJESa, we are now seeing the MK boards becoming completely overwhelmed by the exact same phenomenon. Is there any possibility of establishing a dedicated discussion topic for them somewhere outside of the Teens section? They likely believe they have outgrown that space, yet the situation on the MK boards is rapidly deteriorating for the same reasons the LJESa chat was shut down. Because the sheer volume of their posts creates such an intense congestion, it has become practically impossible to engage in any meaningful conversation that deviates from their specific subject matter. Consequently, the regular members who used to frequent those boards have simply stopped participating altogether, or if they do show up, their interactions are incredibly brief and superficial until the kids finally settle down.

I am truly humbled by your kind compliments; please accept my sincerest thanks for such gracious words.

There will be no opening of the chat on ljes. Not until further notice.
How does one truly establish their own space within a chatroom environment? It requires a certain level of mental fortitude to simply disregard those individuals who fail to align with your sensibilities or who exist solely to disrupt your peace. In fact, there is even a dedicated ignore function available for precisely this purpose; I suggest you utilize it without hesitation.

It appears that certain individuals have been wandering aimlessly in a state of complete mental fog for nearly a week now. These clones of absolute absurdity will undoubtedly continue to be nothing more than mindless shells of their former selves, drifting through life without purpose. Ultimately, everything boils down to the fundamental reality of sixteen. 😁

rowdyhawk27 said:Those are the only ones I've actually spoken to or even noticed up to this point... if I'm staying here long enough to notice, that is.

Deddy 🙂

I would argue that having such a brief interaction is actually a blessing! 🤷

brisknomad6 said:*I honestly had no clue how to make this until now... so I basically bribed my dad (he's sitting right here next to me, by the way) to dictate the recipe for the absolute best elderberry juice in the entire world* 😁>

50 flowers
5 kg sugar
10-15 oz citric acid
3-4 lemons

So, you take the flower petals, strip them off the stems, toss them in a big container, and pour 5 liters of boiling water over them. Then, just let it sit for 24 hours, making sure to give it a little stir every now and then. After that, strain out the liquid, mix in the sugar, the citric acid, and some really well-washed lemon slices cut into rounds.
Let that sit for another 24 hours, again, giving it a quick stir once in a while.
Finally, just squeeze those lemon slices (by hand works fine!) and strain everything through some cheesecloth into a bottle—ideally a plastic one, if you can help it. Give the bottle a little squeeze to make sure all the juice gets to the top, then shove it straight into the fridge (this is super important because there are zero preservatives, so it could go bad pretty fast)...

This makes about 8.5 liters of syrup

Oh, and you can actually vacuum seal the flowers and freeze them if you want to save them for making more juice later on🙂>

And yeah, that's it (my dad's looking pretty proud of himself for "discovering" the internet, haha)😁)

I prepared this following the recipe to the letter, and I must say, the results were absolutely magnificent; I am truly over the moon with how it turned out. In fact, I have already stocked the refrigerator with a generous supply, ensuring that I am perfectly prepared for those upcoming spring weekends.
John Doe, thanks to brisknomad6 and Anthony Miller13. 👍👍😉
