It turns out that most of us always have that attitude to consider what and how we are in front of our phone cameras or on social media. How we post shouldn’t have a bearing on how the others should judge us as how we are in real life. We are impulsive and some never apply the clichΓ©, think before you click thing. They instantly post their comments on someone else’s post, because they feel like they just want to get involved in the situation the poster is currently in. We give unsolicited advice to someone’s posts, even if we are not in the same situation, cause we feel like we know better.
Be nice not only on social media, God sees us all, no filters and no editing.. No copy paste and no deletion of posts and comments. What you even about to say or do, it might not have been processed in your mind, God already knew what u are abt to have in your future. He’s just there above us all, watching everything you think, say or do.
I got inspired writing this when I read a poster’s comment on one of my recent threads. She really is someone who does care a lot not only to people she knows on real life but also to people she meet everywhere. She helps and do charity, especially if it is related to helpless and unfortunate circumstances that involve kids. She is one of people IΒ know here who is 100% genuine.. She is very kind on and off line.
do we really need the threat of god seeing us ? π
I don’t think that’s the point tho.
comes across as it though, especially to people who grew up with a watchful, punishing god.
Yes, Being kind is important.
It is nice to feel important, but it is important to be kind.
Unfortunately I don’t feel kind because of all the crap in my life
I just wish people could be honest and responsible
Pipe dream
I too have a jaded view of humanity and am careful in whom I put trust. But I remain committed to kindness, friendship, and happiness. There are enough good, honest, and responsible people.
As I posted earlier, many who arenβt are troubled. I try to give them a chance and my listening. I draw the line at safety.
agree, though it IS true that one does attract certain things, often based on [ unconscious] attitudes/expectation.
in that way we do create the world to some degree.
i am NOT saying this lightly due to some ” new age” idea.
Being an unwanted child of narcissist perfectionists, with the realization at 2 years was a start
Then the Affirmative Action racist sexist misandrist paradigm we live in (despite the propaganda) hasn’t helped.
Combat troop, highly responsible.
Sometimes the sh!t that comes our way from others isn’t our fault.
I understand what you are saying
Hope you understand my points https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/81d1e5d5ad919ae867b7ba8fce082d6ed61f4b1cdc1fa34efaa1a66c10e03c39.jpg
i understand that you joined a death squat and blame others [ poc/women] for your unhappiness?1
You understand whatever you want in that delusional brain of yours
Makes up for a lack of accomplishment in your life
I guess
that comment makes you look bad.
No, your comment made you look bad
But I guess that makes up for no accomplishment, in your ignorant misandrist life
Maybe visit a war memorial and pay your respects to the fallen that have given all for your lack of understanding and ungratefulness
But I look bad
The right to be a selfish critique
You are just a lovely person
invading other countries for oil/dominion is NOT nice.
i am not the one who goes out killing in the name of the 1%, patriotism, world domination, and so on.
not even to finance college π
That’s where you are wrong again –
Iraq invaded for oil
Maybe that lack of college is a bad thing?
Further, you abort children because they are inconvenient, you have no right to talk about killing
Want respect?
Give it when due
Or Equal treatment
lolololol!
I actually don’t believe in God. I just want us to take care of each other.
Same here.
Wanted to keep my head down…
I know and I respect that…:))
It’s freedom to believe or not to believe.
Thank you. Some believe and some don’t. I find it doesn’t bother me much so long as the person in question seems like a good one.
How someone treats others and how they behave is more important to me than questioning if they believe or disbelieve.
That’s okay, Jay.
No one can force you for what you don’t believe in.
Be comfortable on here because we are n-e-u-t-r-a-l…:))
You’ll notice I’ve not brought it up before. I never beat on someone just because we don’t agree. I’m the opposite, I look for things people have in common.
π
I know…..:))

Me too. I have friends spanning the diversity of beliefs. But theyβre all good people.
That the only thing that matters.

I am always the same…
Kind but I keep in mind that no good deed goes unpunished.
LOL…the latter is so true.
Hey, Bro.
Please check out your email. π
Thatβs very true and I agree. *Applause
How are you feeling today, Suri?
I finished working a bit late today. Other than that. All has been okay.
I prefer being punished to refraining from good deeds.
It’s true!!
The thing is, not to let when that happens, jade you. <3
How are you today, Suri? *Hugs
Hi Murn, doing ok… overwhelmed with problems. Too many things at the same time.
Thank you for asking.
How are you? Hugs!
I hope they will go away at the same time soon.
Hey, I made brownie this morning, I have some ready for you ππ love it. I had it with black tea βοΈ
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f62f33ed070ee5edd5dbb2a4163e013d03e213ada753869d5d5e7755dfc23026.jpg
Youβll love it. ππ

Ain’t that the truth!
Like others may say, I believe what you see is what you get with me. I’m not difficult to read. Nor do I pretend to be someone I’m not.
I’m no bigot. I hate everyone equally. Just kidding. I love y’all.
You’re adorable. <3
You know I adore you, right? π
Yeah, you think I am ok. π
*shucks*
LOL. Aww, I think you’re delightful!
I don’t know if I have ever been called that before.
Now I just have dodgy songs from Musicals going through my mind. lol
LOLOLOL! That’s funny. I certainly didn’t mean to cause an odd earworm.
LOL It’s ok Just the song “it’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s delovely” has been running through my mind since. lol
How are you doing today lovely?
I just got off the phone with a friend having a relationship problem. No more drama this morning. LOL. I just wanted to relax.
How’s our Kizzy today?
Oh I am sorry to hear your friend is having issues. They are fortunate to have a loving care bear like you in their lives to turn to. xxx
I am doing ok today and like our usual pattern, nudging dinner time here. I am not hungry myself ( in a little beesdick of pain) so am making a garlic prawn(shrimp) pasta dish for the rest of them and some garlic bread and salad. A 20 min throw together dinner. lol
I have to be up late tonight to do some work, both online and on the phone ( yup that ye olde land line thing lol) Will you be around to keep me company?
Oh oh… I don’t know if I told you this but we as a family like to sing..just because… anyway, last night my daughters did very much impromptu recordings with basic Karaoke backing tracks as their accompanying music. Would you like me to upload them so you can have a listen? π You will be able to hear us ( including me) yapping in the BG before and after songs, talking about the cats and such here…lol but at least you will be able to hear a couple of plucky Aussie chicks, just having a little fun. π
So, also, what’s on your agenda this week??
I’m sorry you have pain. It sounds like you have dinner completely under control, however. Sounds very good.
IDK how much longer I’ll be awake. However, I’ll try to stay with you for a while.
Hahaha….If you feel up to it, go ahead and post your karaoke sing-a-long. I haven’t done that since getting very drunk with friends a many years ago.
Nothing much going on this upcoming week. What about you?
I always have meals under control as I am a skin flint, remember? lol The only reason they are getting prawns tonight is that they were on special at the supermarket and I had them delivered fresh today. π
I really don’t expect you to stay up as I can amuse myself in other ways. I was even considering making a couple of threads elsewhere ( where I mod) to help time fly. I have to just be alert for the next couple of hours as i have to call NY and cannot until 9am their time, which is around 4 hours time.
You need snoozy goodness!!!! The alphabet store has an overload of ZZZ’s so you get ’em!!
I will upload the audio’s tonight as well and pop them somewhere for you to have a listen. Like I said, it was all just for funsies and not a drop of grog passed their lips in the making. π
This week… finalising a lot of work stuff for all the stuff over Christmas which is a HUGE time of year for us and people in need. Important to have my quackers in a row well before on that count.
Ed and I MAY also be heading away for the weekend but, as he’s working, I don’t see the viability of me sitting alone in an apartment for hours on end while he’s marking Physics papers elsewhere.
Also finally finishing up some paperwork as to my dad’s estate ( he died April 2018) and I have been Executor. I don’t see it as drama ( as I noticed you don’t need that) but it’s … for me at least a relief in some ways but also, makes me sad as I will no longer see his signature on things or even be able to sort of hear his voice ( in my head) when reading all of his requests, points, comments et al, that are in his Will. It’s a closure.
Oops…I forgot I’m going to see an apartment on Tuesday I may like which would save me money and seems like a much nicer place than where I live at present.
That’s good news.
Otherwise, I went stupid on pratties (potatoes) and will soon get food coma. LOLOL.
Also, I’m slightly barmy. It’s after 4 AM here.
Please, please tell me you and the girls did something wild like sing to Fozzy.
I’m so very sorry about your father. I know that must be difficult.
I am of Irish blood. No such thing as too many spuds. lol NEVER blame the taters!!!!
I hope the apartment you’re looking at is lovely, Joshua. Please let me know how it goes.
Fingies crossed ( I won’t say fingerlings or you may bite lol) with the Apartment being all you want it to be.
Sleep well gorgeous…xxxxx
Hahaha…my bestie IRL is half-Irish. She would say the same thing! π
I feel like a beached whale. I hope your business with NY goes well, dear!
If I cannot sleep, I’ll come back.
Have a great rest of the day, love.
Big Hugzzz back at ya, gorgeous.
Also, does your husband know about this beesdick? Not being an Aussie I have to ask if he’s aware of your special relationship with pollinating insects.
He pays the beesdick no mind at all. lol He has bigger fish of his own to deal with. π
You are a bad boy.
Have you done Yoga today?π

I have great respect for Murn. She’s a sweetheart.
Don’t forget that you are too, one of a few kind people I met here.
Thank you for helping this site, Bro.
I hope you feel good now? *Hugs
See you later…:)
Murn is 100% genuine and classy. It’s crystal clear to me.
Thank you if I seem that way. I am who I am, I am the same here and in rl. I think by being who we are, we are free from the burden of trying to be someone else…:)
You too are genuine, intelligent, speak the truth and very supportive to others who deserve it. This is what I respect so much about you.
Thanks! I think I slept off death by pizza overload.
Have a great day at work. I must shower and to to the store. I shall return to keep an eye on things at MNC.
*Big hugs*
Timmy calls that kind of sleep as sleep like a rock. That must be the most delicious pizza π you had, good. π€π€
I saw Frankβs thread was taken care well. great decision, Bro. No, we donβt take politic here, I thought I saw it from the perspective of health and climate change, but you know better. π
Thanks, Murn.
I’m having a tough time atm. I’m going to have to call my doctor tomorrow. Otherwise, things are okay.
I hope you’re having a great day!
Call your Doctor, Bro.
I had a long day at work today but it was good and I am well so nothing need to worry about me.
I hope the Doctor will do something great for you.
Rest very well…. *A big hug…:(
I wish the doctor had something good for me. I am told to do the Epley maneuver but cannot seem to get this right by myself. I don’t have a good surface upon which to do it.
I watched this short video just now.
You need someone to do it for you or to help you do it.
https://youtu.be/BtT2PDJVXlk
IKR? That’s why I’ve found too. I’m going to go into the doctor very soon.
Get something good from your doctor for you.
Take care. Bro. *A very big huge

I am exactly the same person you see online as you would meet in RL, whether it be in person or just on chitty chat over a phone call away from the web.
I wed someone I met online so it’s pretty clear who they started dealing with is what they got and visa versa and he and I have been together now as a couple for 20 years and even if people “try” to fake even in part who they are, they cannot fake it forever,
People know I am blunt and that’s never been a secret but bluntness doesn’t auto mean you’re mean but rather, more honest and up front than people can fathom or want to accept.
Given this OP, I would be interested in just how many replying have actually MET people face to face that they met online?
That is the true “test”
I have met f2f over 40 people I “met” online over the years: even one, I took into my own home so he could get his act together. ( platonic friend) and he lived with us for 3 months.
I will say this as I am pretty blunt, while I appreciate the OP, as it’s a neutral channel, certain elements written there in, make me a little uncomfortable as I personally don’t have to live up to anyone’s or “anythings” assumed boundaries to just have empathy and be kind.
“Given this OP, I would be interested in just how many replying have actually MET people face to face that they met online?”
3. we live in different countries, have now contact via phone or fb and met all 1-2 years somewhere irl,
Hey, that is a wonderful idea.
How far is Hamburg to Munich?
Any idea about meeting in person in Munich in November with your GF too? ππ
would be good. got the ok from gf. would a bit depend on the time. possible on a prolonged weekend. salzburg is also ok because we need no visa and there is no border control. we were already in salzburg/austria by train and took a taxi to berchtesgaden/germany, because this was faster.^^ by plane it would be most likely 1 hour. distance hamburg-munich is about 800 km.
If you and Murn could make it happen for you guys, it would be awesome. π
we will see. she is city hopping and has a full program so to say.^^ but i would like it and are curious where it will be.
not going to say pics or it didn’t happen, but should you guys meet up, it would be very cool to get feedback as to how it all went. π
we will do. π
Moin Bro,
We are still processing the visa but it won’t be any problem at all.
Today, I checked and make sure the schedule. And in fact, it will be tight…:((
Day-1 & 2 Vienna, day-3 Budapest, day-4 & 5 Prague, day-6 Zalburg, day-7 & 8 Hallstat, Innbruck, day-9 Munich, day-10 leave. Unless I skip from the trip with friends, then we’ll have time to meet. I don’t want to let you and your GF to drive all the way to Munich for only couple of minutes meeting me, though I’d really like to meet in person with you.
therefore there prolonged weekend. so my gf and me would also have a short vacation.
Thank you, Bro.
I’ll catch up with you there soon.
You may edit your comment now. Thanks.
Moin @disqus_ix4TzGA9m3:disqus
I sent you email with my schedule for EU.
Let me know if it’ll be possible for us to meet, in Munich or in other city closer to both of you?
Thanks,
Murn
I have flown across the world to meet people. π
yep. in between europe the distances are not so big. by car its often only a day and by plane just 1-2 hours. there were also other persons also in the web i would have liked to met in person but lost contact due to a computer crash or other reasons. its often that someone has to make the first step. we have also friends in belgrade. it first started as pen friend with invitations for years. and only after years we said, now we will visit them.^^
I meet people from sports forums, always men. Usually on business trips. In the 1990s, when I was single, I met and dated girls I met in AOL chat rooms. In fact, that’s how I initially met the girl I married…although we shared pictures, bios, and phone calls before meeting.
π
Most of the people I met squared with their online personality. Which is why I agree to meet them in the 1st place. The crazies rejected meeting me, because I sensed they had something to hide.
As others have pointed out, it does take a physical meeting to really get to know somebody. Online life can be illuminating, but is incomplete. Finally, a physical meeting must be safe. It’s not just physical liability, but a matter of slander in an age of social media.
The latter is why I won’t reveal my persona. Crazies will take your words and actions out of context and, for example, try to get your fired from your job. This is why I like the anonymity of Disqus, as I can discuss things without being attributed to me.
I agree with you whole -heartedly and congrats to your own online wedded union too!! π
If I do meet people from online, it’s usually in a public place as I am not silly enough or even trusting enough on a first meeting for it to be in a more private setting.
I also get some red flags when people just refuse to meet and usually, because of a lamo style reason. ( maybe I have watched too many episodes of Catfish…lol).
I was telling my daughters about this thread last night over dinner and they “reminded” me, that other than meeting people I met online, we have also welcomed the friends they believed were nice people, into our home and into our lives as a whole, in fact, and it would have taken A LOT of trust on her side, one of my daughter’s friends came to the Gold Coast and lived with us for 6 months and other friends who have been made welcome and feel like family into our home. Some of them I consider to be like my surrogate daughters and sons these days. lol
You speak of not revealing your persona and I totally get that. I did anyway on Disqus as to my business and my photo’s etc… Some people “twisted” stuff that could not affect my job ( as I am self employed) BUT could put my business in jeopardy by making up lies in their own ( it seems) warped minds. The things they would write were just insane.
I reckon we could swap a lot of the crazies style stories, Imperator.
I give people a lot of room online. Many speak from pain, suffering, anger, hardship, illness, or loneliness. Many open up and build bridges to understanding one another better.
But there are people who mindlessly and constantly pushing extreme views. Closing off dialogue. I figure they’re as toxic IRL as online.
^5!!!
