have u ever had any success w this 

Yes,

Polarisation of opinions.  Dehumanising of whole groups of people by certain posters and perpetual covid discussions made it really easy.

I pop in but nothing is really tickling my interest anymore.

 

Surely it would mean resolving to dick around less more generally or making an effort to find something else to dick around at.

Neither of those seem realistic for people who like dicking around.

I basically didn't touch it for about 10 years in the run up to Covid .

 

I kind of find it quite quaint now . Like a throwback to the early days of the internet. But the fact that it's mainly the product of a few posters makes it cosy in a way that for instance Reddit never could be 

This is my virtual office. It may be dull but so are many of my colleagues. Octoman and Muttley were genius so hope they will return. Would like to do some training in banter. Maybe evening classes in an interesting and funny steam of consciousness. 

I am Octoman. 

 

Past events provide context and background for the interpretation of subsequent events and subsequent events throw retrospective light upon the meaning of past events. The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk.
