Im just here to mock the people who take themselves too seriously and cant take a joke.
@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy My sense of humour is a filter. If someone doesn’t get it, they probably aren’t for me

Distracts me from painful thoughts.
@OlderSometimesWiser I’m glad this place can do that for you, and I am sorry that you have them 😞
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@OlderSometimesWiser Same... Same.
Provides a nice outlet for social banter

Others can comment on what they think I bring, I might be a tad biased about my brilliance 😎
@BeefySenpie never underestimate your brilliance, it shines over all of us ✨
@Ghostinthemachine I need to frame those words 😆
@BeefySenpie as long as I get the credit for them in the bottom right corner lol
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
Its an escape from my highly demanding and chaotic life.

Sarcastic comments 🙄
@LilPrincess Do you enjoy what you do?
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
@Ghostinthemachine i do love my job but not the place I work for. Only thing that keeps me there is the relationships with stores and owners
@LilPrincess I’m sure that because you enjoy what you do, you’re very good at it, and that makes you valuable to your company
Lilymoon · F
I bring sarcasm and a few laughs. I'm not here for any debates or seriousness
@Lilymoon Thank y…wait…are you being sarcastic? 🧐
Lilymoon · F
@Ghostinthemachine me? Nuuu ;)
@Lilymoon I’ll be keeping an eye on you

PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F
It allows me to plop my thoughts and memes down on a comfy couch. But sometimes I’m reminded of how stained it is so there’s that also.

Occasional food porn and nature pics, posts too long and heavy to read, and to combat that random wtf’s that made me laugh…hoping they’ll do the same for others.
@PerfectionOfTheHeart I’ve been better lately. A ten step process toward leaving this place lol
PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F
@Ghostinthemachine Hey. Gotta start somewhere 🙂
@PerfectionOfTheHeart every journey begins with one small…
Nothing. On both sides.

Remnants of a muscle memory pulls me in. Less and less.
@thinkingoutloud I often feel the same way, and that muscle for me, is becoming weaker from lack of use. Which isn’t a bad thing.
Magenta · F
@thinkingoutloud Perfectly stated. 😑
Illusory distraction and pretense,
....on both counts.
@Ghostinthemachine ☺️
Im screenshotting this for days when I feel crappy
🤗

Wow. I want to live up to this now🤗☺️🤗
Magenta · F
@OogieBoogie Real, honest and genuine you are and I appreciate it! 🩷
No pretense is so refreshing.
@OogieBoogie Haha glad to be of service 😌

You already do 🤗
RenFur · 70-79, M
The funny folks - there are many really, really funny people here.
The smart ones, too - especially the people who know and love what they're talking about on a wide range of topics.

Anonymity is what I bring. I mean, who knows what I look like, for example? Who knows my true heart?
In other words, I bring a lot of "Who cares?!"
RenFur · 70-79, M
@Ghostinthemachine

The original paired Ricardo Cortez (who was actually Jewish) with Bebe Daniels. The remake starred Bogart and Astor.
@RenFur ah, very good! I’ve not seen the original then.

Also I’m a sucker for An Affair To Remember, with Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant.
The original was Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne

It was also remade with Warren Beatty and Annette Benning
RenFur · 70-79, M
@Ghostinthemachine

I'll take a pass, thanks! On all three and on any possible fourth then fifth, etc LOL
Mooed78 · F
I am here to be silly really
@Mooed78 you look a lot like that actor from Black Adder.
Life’s too short to be taken too seriously
Mooed78 · F
@Ghostinthemachine Thank you for that compliment 🥰
@Mooed78 that you look like Rowan Atkinson?😆
JustNik · 51-55, F
This has changed me hugely in ways that tickle me pink. I’ve used it to open myself up, and the wonderful wonderful people I’ve met have broadened my entire perspective irrevocably. I learned to focus on what I did not know and seek to improve on it. That’s priceless to me. I’m here less now, though, because I’m busy practicing that. 😂 I don’t think I’ve brought anything as lasting or solid as I’ve obtained, but I have brought a smile or two over the years, and that’s nice to know. 😊
@JustNik That’s amazing that you’ve found something here to take with you out into the real world. I understand being here less. I am too. Not all relationships are meant to last but we are usually better and stronger for having it.
I appreciate your kindness and genuine reflections you post here. Such honesty is appreciated
My goal is to make one to two random people laugh each month.
@SooperSarah your posts are so funny and nice and self-deprecating.
I’m sure you pass your quota every month 😊
@Ghostinthemachine thank you (:
And I do. You see, the key... is to set the bar extremely low 😎
@SooperSarah the only time I set the bar low…is when I limbo
RenFur · 70-79, M
@MsSwan

I told u I was sorry - - let it go!
@MsSwan
I envy you! 🤣
@mindstruggle No. You really don't. 😂
GypsyMiss · 41-45, F
SW provides a satisfactory distraction from everyday life. I don’t know what I bring to the SW community. Attitude, perhaps?
@GypsyMiss From what I’ve seen of your posts, you bring humour and thought-provoking questions, both of which are appreciated here
GypsyMiss · 41-45, F
@Ghostinthemachine awwwww thank you 😊
@GypsyMiss you are welcome 🙃
Prove the antisocial suicidal nature of USA DARPA. It proves thaf evil must own every word and that people deserve extinction.
@Roundandroundwego harsh and frightening
Provides a great fishing hole for cat fish
@ExperienceDLT In real life I’m a terrible fisherman, so…
@Ghostinthemachine same here i couldnt catch a fish at a fish hatchery
@ExperienceDLT I am patient though, just can’t reel them in
PleasurePunch · 100+
I get hurt more than helped
@PleasurePunch if you are a veteran of the EP years, you’ve been going at this for quite some time.
I’ve heard this place described as a mindless distraction. Is that what it is for you?
I don’t believe we can change the world here. We can’t even change one’s opinions, as ingrained and steadfast as they often are
PleasurePunch · 100+
@Ghostinthemachine I am not expecting a WEBSITE to change the world

I needed what all of us need..connection, a little solidarity and maybe a friend once in a while. And I get pushed out instead.
@PleasurePunch Judge not by what you want, but by who does the pushing

Maybe that will help
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
It gives me a place where I can write a public diary documenting my, often quite dull, life and my journey from an occasional cross dresser to a full time one and perhaps beyond. It has also brought me some friends and more acquaintances.

What do I bring: my diary and lots of pictures. Oh, and I sometimes try to correct foolish opinions.
@ninalanyon sounds like you’ve got this place figured out in how to best work for you. Everyone should be so fortunate
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@Ghostinthemachine It's not all perfect. I've had a small share of abuse on here too. But in a way even that was positive because of the way other people rallied round to console and defend me.
@ninalanyon I’m sorry you had to deal with that, but glad you felt supported.
That’s when SW is at its best 😊
PleasurePunch · 100+
I try to bring some truth.

Its mostly not wanted.
@PleasurePunch Some people don’t like to hear the truth.
Someone told me today “the truth shall set you free”.
Do you believe that?
PleasurePunch · 100+
Pretzel · 61-69, M
sometimes I bring cookies
other times just the napkins
@Pretzel cookies are good.
What kind of cookies?
It's entertaining and supportive at times.
@MsSwan definitely entertaining, a mild distraction.
I’m glad you’ve found some support here. I’m not sure if I’ve ever looked for it here
Auggie · M
I bring Reality, common sense, and Impartiality.
@Auggie you are a rare breed on SW lol
@pillowprincess you are +2 on the balance scale. [image]
Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
Rusham's jokes, keeping up with world events, feeling like I'm not crazy and totally isolated. Expressing my feelings. Wishing I had a normal romantic relationship and feeling so bad that I'm not able to help a couple of you on here.
@Tastyfrzz This place is a good antidote for loneliness. I appreciate how we can chat with someone from half way across the world, who might be feeling a little lonely too
brokensignal · 46-50, M
SW like most of the internet brings temporary distraction. I come and go… What do I bring? I give my honest/unfiltered answers and put thought in to my responses for better or worse… I try to be supportive at times or make people laugh.
@brokensignal that’s a solid, honest answer. Thank you.
Longpatrol · 31-35, M
I like the shitposting
@Longpatrol sometimes it’s funny. Some people are very creative
scorpiolovedeep · 46-50, M
What does it bring:

Some distraction from our chaotic rat race called life.

Love really good thoughtful posts which are rare on SW.


What do I bring:
I post nature photos, quotes , random thoughts
@scorpiolovedeep I agree about the distraction

I will check out your profile to see some of the photos you have posted
RubySoo · 56-60, F
These days it simply keeps me in touch with a small number of people i enjoy corresponding with.

I doubt i bring anything to the table these days
@RubySoo Same, just a small group I keep in semi-regular touch with

I doubt that you don’t bring anything to the table, and that you’re probably underestimating your presence here
RubySoo · 56-60, F
@Ghostinthemachine thank you.
At one time i tried hard to be a supportive friend to many, but i allowed myself to become far too involved in other peoples drama.
Lessons learned. This old lady needs all her energy for RL these days...lol. x
@RubySoo we can only be pulled in so many directions before we are spread too thin
Remember your #1 priority here is YOU 🙂
@neurodivirgin there’s gotta be something

What first brought you here?
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Friendship, advice, humour. I get these things and more from here and hopefully I give some of these things back. I really try to.
@Strongtea I think if you are conscious and grateful for what you are getting from here, I’m sure you’re giving some back as well
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Thankyou! 😊@Ghostinthemachine
@Strongtea thank you for stopping by
Primnproper · 56-60, F
It’s entertaining, it brings interaction and the chance to meet people from all over the world and I have made some awesome lifelong friends that I adore.
@Primnproper Sweet!
I do find it amazing how we can meet people from all over this crazy world of ours
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Ghostinthemachine most definitely.
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
SW puts up with me and my offerings. I, on the other hand, serve as a daily calendar for the folks at SW.
@Ambroseguy80 It definitely wouldn’t be the same without you 😁
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
@Ghostinthemachine why thank you, sir! And you help me remember one of my favorite Police albums whenever I see your name. ;)
@Ambroseguy80 win-win! SW at its best when we all contribute 🙂
ReneeT · 61-69, M
It's been awhile, but I do love to talk with some special friends I have made here over the years. I always try to be as welcoming as I can to some new people.
@ReneeT that’s nice. There seem to be an awful lot of profiles with that green “New” badge beside their photo.
Makes me a bit sceptical they aren’t an alt account
Adstar · 56-60, M
It gives me an avenue to share my thoughts on God..

And keeps me in touch with a lot of other societal issues..

Some times i get a laugh from a funny post..
@Adstar sounds like you’ve figured out how to make this crazy place work best for you. Kudos 👍
looping · 18-21
i just talk about stuff then delete it all after a few months because i'm paranoid that people know wayyy too much about me.
@looping I used to be like that too when I first joined. After awhile that caution just wore off for me. But I still won’t show my face publicly lol
It's all in balance. It's nothing both ways. 😌
@pillowprincess you just posted a funny gif, which means you have contributed to the overall humour scale of SW. You are now out of balance

[image deleted]
A bit of a social life when I seek that. I’m not sure what I bring specifically, several here (including you) have my sincerest friendship.
RenFur · 70-79, M
@bijouxbroussard

You bring steadiness, firm beliefs, heart and - as many have concluded before - class.
@RenFur Thank you for saying so. 🤗
RenFur · 70-79, M
pride49 · 31-35, M
Heck if I know. Sw been pissing me off
@pride49 what’s it been doing to upset you?
pride49 · 31-35, M
@Ghostinthemachine can't find anything interesting in the feed. Passive aggressive people pissing me off
@pride49 the feed does seem curated and limited. Or maybe there aren’t as many people active here as we think
smiler2012 · 56-60
@Ghostinthemachine humour is what i bring i hope
@smiler2012 😂😂😂

Wait…was that supposed to be funny? 🤔
smiler2012 · 56-60
@Ghostinthemachine with all sincerity
@smiler2012 I believe you do do that.
And I didn’t mean to say “do do”
solitaire · 41-45, F
I vent a lot
@solitaire do you listen to their vents as well?
solitaire · 41-45, F
@Ghostinthemachine Yes, I can lend a ear :)
@solitaire Sweet 🙂

Did you hear that?
@Magenta That’s too easy, original comments only, please 😌
Magenta · F
@Ghostinthemachine Aw, just this once she can be my spokesperson? 🙁 😁
Wasn't sure how to articulate it, and her words resonated so strongly with me, now in present. Once upon a time it was so much more for/to me.
@Magenta I’ll let it slide…this time.

Like any Monet or song by the Cowsills, why mess with perfection.
redredred · M
It makes me feel almost normal.
@redredred at least you’re finding some positive benefits to this place
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
Not much times two.
@GeistInTheMachine there must be something that keeps bringing you back here
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@Ghostinthemachine [media=https://youtu.be/HuzlYAMwwJY]
jehova · 31-35, M
Perspective
@jehova the further you step back from this place, the more you get it seems
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
I bring chaos, reality and sometimes laughs. Like a tornado in human form.
@JaggedLittlePill would you call yourself a “whirling dervish”?
AccursedAlexander3 · 31-35, M
I had diarrhea.
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
Brings the train wreck a little closer to you, so it may be properly perused/admired/feared/looked upon with contempt.
@uncalled4 I’m just going to sit here and quietly observe for a while…
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
Dunno 🤔
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
@Ghostinthemachine To answer posts, create my own and laugh
@TheLordOfHell I do the same, not necessarily in that order though 😁
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
@Ghostinthemachine Haha nice!
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
im simply here to pass time, maybe cause some chaos sometimes hehe
@Hanginginthere I would think causing chaos here wouldn’t be too difficult.
Now making someone’s day a little brighter….that’s a challenge
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
@Ghostinthemachine not difficult at all! It’s easy to get under people’s skin here
