Decline

Most people who see me use my EBT card in the grocery store probably think I'm scamming. I look young and healthy, like I could totally handle a job. What they don't know is that my condition can go from fine to a complete nightmare almost instantly. Today might be a good day for me, where I only have 2-3 attacks, and that's why I chose to go to the store. I would love to still be working. I miss it and if I could get my neuro disorders under control I would gladly take just about any job I was capable of performing. I have a neighbor who is trying to teach me how to design websites. Slow going because I'm definitely not very computer savvy. Hopefully, after I learn enough, I will be able to get back to supporting myself. Until then, sorry if the fact that I don't appear to be needy enough causes anyone distress.

If "killing him with kindness" doesn't work, stepping outside with a camera might do the trick. If he thinks you are serious enough to compile evidence maybe he will take the hint.

Veri, nice to see you back! Now that I know more I know that I don't know much You know what I mean?

I think that Qryos might have meant misogynist instead of misanthrope. Also, I remember that thread you are talking about To'na and Hyper was expressing what he thought "God" wanted not what Hyper felt was right or good.

1) Makes sense to me. I will start using that term tyvm. 2) I don't believe in souls either so... 3) If these intelligent machines were advanced enough to be considered "members of society" with citizenship, rights and responsibilities then yeah I don't see why marriage should be out of the question. The mind uploading is a very interesting concept to me. Would it function like a clone (a separate but exact copy) or would there be a movement of consciousness from the meat brain to the hardware involved?

Nice! Also enjoyed their "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" album.

Yes indeed! I enjoy fiction of all sorts.

Beautiful haiku. Full of alliteration. Sympathy received.

Feel my heart breaking. Turn your blind eye to my truth. Now I'm all alone.
