In hindsight, I really wish I'd just posted this yesterday:
All of my best responses are well after I've already sent them.
It was a little bizarre that somebody took your name.
It really was, I'm still confused about it. Lol. They took my name an hour before I even knew aussie zone existed.
Maybe they're also called miss daryl C and always felt bad that they'd missed out on their name on reddit and weren't going to fuck it up again? What's the go @MissDarylC?
The possibilities are endless. Maybe their name is Dary and their last name starts with LC. The worst part is, I could've started a whole new username as the name is my name and I still went for the same name even after I noticed.
I went back to dumblederp (from sanemartigan). There's a few new names here. I hope to see some more old ones turn up.
Me too, there's a few missing people who I suspect never got a chance to even find out they were nuking the Melbourne sub, hopefully they're in the discord so they find out eventually.
Wait wut? Far out. How do we know it’s really you?
Hahaha I honestly don't even know how to prove I am me and that is not me. Any suggestions?
I dunno, but that’s creepy and had to be totally intentional.
Also, theoretically, someone can have the exact same username on a different server or “instance” but that would show up as part of the username.
We could all register as MissDarylC and meet here as the DarylC collective hive mind.🧠
Yeah, it feels that way tbh. It feels personal and like it was directed at me, I just can't figure out why, all I did was whine about my life on the DT. Haha.
But you're all welcome in the MissDarylC club, there's only two of us and it can get a little lonely.
This whole time my eyes have autocorrected your username was miss dairy C....
Oh my god, I wish my username was miss dairy c. Haha. I may change it.
I really LOVE the fact you can chuck photos and GIFs right on thread here.
I like it, but I also worry that it has the potential to take over the thread instead of actual words. I hope not, I like the discussion aspect. If the DT became overrun with memes and gifs like a Facebook page it would be a terrible loss.
I’ve never used Facebook but i see your point. I REALLY like it though. Sometimes words just won’t do for some shenanigans and I’m confident the clientele here would not abuse it.
yeah for sure, though some kind of hard sizing limit should be able to stop that. i feel like overall a couple of minor formatting tweaks would improve this layout a lot
