    I did expect a bit more content when I first came here. Most posts I feel had like 3 comments at best. It’s come a long way, and now I really can get a full day’s worth if what I need from here alone. It’s not as friendly as it was, but I think it still has a better ratio of positivity compared to Reddit. There feels like a good amount of people now that I don’t recognize all the regular commenters names anymore too, so it feels like participation is getting better as far as comments go anyway.

    I’ve gotten over a decent bit of my anxiety being a poster by now, but I grew up always feeling like I was useless crap, so I always feel people are mad at me and things I do aren’t good enough, so it’s taken a bit, and things I duct expect can still get me anxious. I try to remain peaceful, so I’m not used to people just coming at me. I especially don’t expect it here where I’m just trying to be the Bob Ross of Owls or something. 😀

    I wonder if my old friend’s mom had something like CFS/ME. I knew him for like ten years and while we weren’t at his place much, I think I only saw his mom out of bed twice. She looked normal and all, but she was just always resting. He had some weird thing too where he would just curb through all his energy really quickly and have to eat pretty often despite being really skinny.

    I’m glad you still find ways to enjoy yourself. I’m certainly much more familiar with you after this thread now, so I shouldn’t be caught off guard now! I’ve been in a better mood this week, but it’s more due to some of my frustrations turning more to the absurd at this point. A lot this week involves my new work safety improvements. They messed up my whole work area, it’s been over a year they’ve been remodeling to make it safer, and I’ve found everything they put in was done wrong, and most everything is more dangerous than it was before.

    I work with compressed and liquified gases, so there is a real danger of suffocation, and they took me from an open space to a mostly enclosed one with “safety features.” Only most of their tech doesn’t seem to work, and more importantly, I’m finding most of it fails to an on state and doesn’t turn off my equipment should an emergency happen.

    I discovered this during a false alarm, and none of the responding security or safety people had any idea how the system was supposed to work. So I’ve been making a stink about that.

    I like your kakapo! I’m sad we don’t have many land birds anymore. They’re all so cool!
