Some things about notable Viv users and members
-
This topic is about "notable Viv users and members". Who is more worthy to be here than who I now add?
There has been a new user here since recently, for whom I think the best or most appropriate epithet to be applied is Astronomical rocket.
Who is he? No one. Who is she? Simply @ guigirl.
Yesterday, by those same hours as now, I was about 10 users ahead of her on the reputation board. Right now, I'm two users behind, counting herself. Rocket or not?
Few things I have, or think I have, about her so far. Impressions only. Sympathy is one of them. Versatility, another.
Comprehensiveness, interests beyond my reach / reciprocity - others.A great curiosity on my part about the opinions of other users. Without fear of asking this, because I see only favorable aspects, even within the amount of general differences that may exist ...

@JoaBravo You might have noticed she's no stranger at all on this forum…
-
@hlehyaric Are you sure?
-
@Ornorm As much as you are…
-
Well, well, well... @hlehyaric and @Ornorm. Thanks.
It seems to me that, after your comments I'm not going deepen the matter.
What is the greatest impulse which leaded me to put these comments? Sympathy. And with which better feelings must I to go on and deeper? None, I believe, for inexistent.Therefore, I stop here, even if shallow and insufficient. But keeping the beginning. Sympathy.
Before than some considerations start put their sleeves outside. As, for example, a.... e...
Silence, intrigant and malicious lucubration.

@ guigirl maintaining (increasing?) her speed. Bringing me memories of @
Ornorm some time ago.
-
@JoaBravo A real rocket! Isn't she?
-
@Ornorm No, she’s electromagnetic radiation. Rockets are too slow.

As much as you did in those days (or almost, on her part
)
@potmeklecbohdan has established another qualification. Let's observe.

About the long absence of @Paranoid. I just checked the list of the group of ambassadors, of which he appears to be a part. I didn't find his name there. Was my search inattentive?
-
@JoaBravo Sadly / unfortunately / realistically, i think we all probably know that Real Life [whatever that thing is] sometimes intervenes. People lose interest & wander off, not necessarily feeling a need to say anything on the way out. People get sick. People die. Those left behind often never know what happened, what explains the abrupt "disappearance". That can be true in the physical world, & very obviously applies substantially in the online world.
Occasionally i still think & wonder about someone who reached out to me via PM in some now-ancient tech forum i used to belong to [can't specifically atm recall which one, but no doubt it was one of my first Linux fora from when i first began dipping my toes in those lovely waters]. For some months we had frequent contact, & it was quite pleasant [just exchanging banter, + occasional tech Q&A or related discussions... + i remember that he was very keen on puzzles]. Then, with no forewarning, no foreboding, it all just stopped. He never appeared again in the forum either. I knew he was of a certain age, but thought nothing more of that initially, til the vanishing. So then i thought maybe he was sick. Then i thought maybe he was gravely ill. Eventually i decided he might have died. Naturally i'll never know.
Here, in this situation, we might never know.
-
@JoaBravo It seems he deleted his account. I can't find him anymore in users list.
-
@hlehyaric Good detective wor...
-
He remains inscribed.
I hope my research on the ambassadors was - how to say? - less influenced by pessimism and by the bitter of life

Yes, someone called me?

Enchanted. Very embracing.
However, sometimes, I feel that my perception migrates to a way that is extremely difficult to expose.
This way, sometimes, as now, seems to me the real way to perceive, within the most indisputable and non-perishable realities.
This mode kills all the arrogance of the preponderance that we give to our waking perception (without being asleep). In this state (of "awake"), our parameters are mind and brain. Nothing more arrogantly convinced of its superiority over other faculties much deeper and much more subtle, but that the two (mind and brain), because they do not have access to its scope, deny them. Out of pure ignorance and lack of scope.
I started writing this, to say how Planet Vivaldi acts on it. However, I must stop here.
The hours, the tiredness, and the DNA (or DD) don't give me the breath to go any further.

Again, someone called me?

For my part, not at all.
-
@JoaBravo I made a mistake, I looked for «Paranoid» instead of «Para-Noid». Silly me.
-
@hlehyaric Do you mean we need to now delete half of Page 13?
