This site had been a pressure valve for me to rant and scream into a somewhat more comfortable void when I was otherwise surrounded by people I didn't like socializing with that had political views that made it hard not to stare daggers at them day after day.

Even now, in a nicer place that I'm much happier in, I have a bit of sentimentality about it and it's still a nice place to talk.

Habit-forming, unfortunately. I sometimes get so distracted being here that I put off stuff I really should have done first.

I am the posting.
