Gold bug / silver bug / numismatic / metals thread
bernorange replied to 52-80's topic in Business and Markets
I don't recall exactly. I have a vague idea that it was around $80 or so. One of the first (big) things I ever bought with my own money (aside from bubble gum and whatnot). -

My first silver was a 10oz Johnson Matthey bar I bought when I was around 12 years old. -
I don't think you really need to have played the games to enjoy the show (or to understand what's happening). Having played the games does let you appreciate some of the details that they don't explain (call them easter eggs if you like), but nothing important.

Re-readng the posts this morning and realize I needed to clarify a couple things... I don't know if anyone knows for sure all the reasons why she did it - the people who knew her IRL on HF didn't really share much on that issue and rightfully so. I think everyone has their demons/battles that they struggle with in life. Based upon what I saw at the time, I'm convinced that the online activity (and that post in particular) was a contributing factor (it seemed to me that the post was likely to have pushed her over the ledge that she was already very close to). You never really know what people on the other side of the screen are going through. It's some sort of ingrained human ego thing to subconsciously assume that everyone else is just like yourself. "If I can handle it, you should be able to as well". Only that isn't always the case (and this is, to my mind, how the issue relates to Derka). This happened roughly 18 years ago now. I don't remember the username of the one that authored the final bully post, but I do remember that it was not a name that was used on HF. Most of the peeps on that alt site had chosen new names when they moved over from HF (much like some peeps did here in the move from Shaggy), so it wasn't clear who anyone really was.
-
Respectfully, you are wrong. I read the damn post a few hours after it was posted. The author had been trading barbs with her for some time before posting his/her magnum opus. I may not remember every detail, but I'm not so senile as to forget what happened entirely.

2024 Solar Eclipse - never too early to get ready
bernorange replied to Wally Fairway's topic in Daily Texan

I'm sure that some people probably knew who the author was. I never saw it discussed anywhere. I didn't personally know anyone on that site just as I don't know anyone here other than Blacklab - who I've only "met" via email and phone.
-
The bullying post was not posted on HF. It was Longhornfanzone or something like that. I read the bullying post the night it was posted. It contained many details about her personal life. It was exceedingly harsh in the way that only internet anonymity can foster. I was inquiring about threads where this has all been discussed before. I thought we had done this here (relate Loree's story) on Surly in a previous discussion about bullying, but I couldn't find it. Maybe the threads I was remembering were on Shaggy.
-
Last of Us tv adaption was hugely successful because the game was an immensely well developed story. Fallout is an immensely well developed ethos that provides a rich canvas for stories. The Fallout ethos has a strong humor component. Serious things happen, but there's usually a joke nearby whether subtle or overt.
-
Whoa. Just read through this thread. It wasn't easy, but I did manage to fap. ~~~ Did all the threads/posts about Loree on this site get scrubbed? Neither Surly search nor Google site search returns any of the numerous threads where her story was discussed. Surely they weren't all Shaggy threads? Loree had direct interaction with the board in question and a member there posted an epic "you are a completely worthless human being" rant to her. She left the world the next day or so. ~~~ Derka has his issues and can become irrational - we all know this, but he is ultimately a good person and willing to make amends when he fucks up (when he calms down and is rational/lucid again). He's gotten a lot better over the years and I'm sad to hear that he's been dealt such a harsh hand. Seems like a timeout would have been more appropriate. $.02 FWIW
