The chatchit lived on in a much smaller FB chat for an ungodly eternity, long after there was any enjoyment to derive from using FB. Mostly just ramo, panic, me, slappy, and a few select guests. Now I guess the discord service is the modern version of that.

Fox was like busy staring at nothing while drooling, but I certainly heard the laughs.

Currently just very sweaty. Work lets up in a week or two, then maybe we'll figure out how to enjoy summer.

I remember being in our nightly massive aimchat when the helpers first launched, and I suddenly realized that literally everyone in the chat was either a mod or a helper... except me and Fox. LOOKS LIKE THE TURNS WERE TABLED

but also from 40 years ago too

Yeah there's soooo so much that's been locked in my deep storage, but the more I think about it with it in front of me, the more it's coming back. Maybe not the specifics, but definitely the feeling/vibe of it all.

Oh man I have the vaguest memories of this and only because I read it, and I'm even on the list wololo

oh man I was so close

You know what my absolute favorite was? When The_Spoon got a bump, and they cut it off halfway through and say something like "by this point we lost interest and noticed his sig" which said something like: "I have a poster of kagome in my room and every night before bed I unsheathe my tesseiga and windscar all over her face" I know I'm butchering it so someone's gotta find that.

The bill passed the House, with a majority of the votes coming from Democrats. McCarthy lost a third of his conference. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/31/house-debt-ceiling-vote-00099573

Pero had the puffy coat

kapt is my sister

I want to brush @KaptKrunch and or @2q840wutegasdlbnz,mcbawegt's teeth

like when you hosted a @BlueNeptune777 vs IB chess game

I can't believe you ever posted enough for that to begin with

I never set them up. Luuv had a very extensive rank system, but we completed a software transition he was working on right after he died and I never threaded them together. So it was just the staff ranks and various custom ranks, everyone else was a generic member.

I've got like two or three tabs open to that on my home PC actually, it was actually a helpful resource for this.

(though if anyone did want to come here in the interim that'd be cool too)

@eklipse i know you're a PoGo expert so wanted to connect you here in case you on the hunt for new friends etc.

I don't have any personal connections so I'd have to rely on you and/or others before any shameless plugs - I'm not looking to poach people so if they fully intend to bring it back up in the near term, then it's probably not in the cards. But if it's just an absolute mess and they'd be amenable to consolidating with an equally old and tangentially similar community, then that'd be pursuable.

Pretty sure they already announced ages ago that payments would resume this summer regardless of how the decision comes down. So this just codifies that and maybe expedites it a little bit. Moving the rest of the student loan stuff to the actual student loan thread.

If it's a terminal thing, we could totally home them here and kind of grow by consolidating that way. I'm just not the expert.
