Social Thread

i remember reading a short story by bradbury where the government made everyone equal by applying "handicaps" to everyone, including inducing weakness, memory loss, and making people wear ugly masks. it was a good a story and a powerful one in retrospect, but something in it made me angry when i first read it.
 
I know the one you mean, and it's a... Decently written story, and its message does reflect well, especially recently. Proper development for talents isn't encouraged in our society, and a lot of loss of potential cultural change happens via that. The way the story's written is way too ham-fisted, though. I'd prefer a much more subtle approach to the idea, most likely.

For those larger forums people usually have more select interest in terms of which threads they follow and there's less back and forth.

I come from (what used to be) a pretty large forum, and though there were many more people, there were also more threads to keep up with. So it wasnt too bad to keep up with. Though it did have its moments, especially in the forum games section : p The general chat thread there could get so busy sometimes that it was impossible to even carry a real conversation : p

I like how small and tight knight this community is, its great for like making everyone feel important and appreciated, and makes it easier to have a conversation. It would be cool to get just a few more active members though : p I can usually talk about most things, I just need something to talk about : p
 
It happened while he was going to the store with my mom. My mom just called my sister a few minutes ago, his chest was blue but he was still breathing. I pray to god he is going to be okay. If not, I don't know how our family will get by without him.
 
I love all of you. I know I can get pretty upset over small things, but honestly, I consider all of you my friends. I'm glad you guys are here for me, and I'll be there for my father. We just got news that he's starting to do okay. When he get's home, we're gonna have to take care of him extra this time.

Just a few months ago, we started taking him on walks, but he kept falling. We always helped him up and he just laughed it off. Speaking of, my mom said when the ambulance was taking him, he kept saying "No no, I'm fine". Yup, sounds just like him.
 
Update : My dad has been quote "Yapping away", so he's doing much better. I just hope I can see him soon, I miss him and I'm really worried. Today, you'd never think this would happen, I really wish they told me they were going to the store, when my parents leave I normally say "Love ya, mom, love ya dad." before they went, I would have really loved to tell him I love him. I'm just glad he's doing okay as of now.

We'll probably see him later tonight. I'm looking forward to seeing him.
 
My mom said he wasn't acting like himself, but overtime he's starting to go back to normal. I'm so happy he's okay! I never been so scared in my life, something like this never happened to him before, now I'm scared for him. We never let him go on his own anymore, these days if he leaves my mom goes with him.

Just a few weeks ago my family and I went for a walk to the store, but half way there my father started to not feel good, so he said he'll walk back home on his own, took him awhile to convince my mom it would be okay and just to go. After this though, we're not sure anymore. I think at least one person should stay with him at all times,
 
i heard doctors actually use some concentrated form of a root named turmeric in cases of heart attacks. maybe taking a dose of that stuff would help his health alongside a good diet even further; it has a few potent health benefits.

Be careful with that though because turmeric can make blood thinner and make the body's way of blood clotting not work the way it should.
 
My father hasn't been fully acting like himself, but that was two days ago, yesterday he was acting a little more like his old self, just a few things different, but last night he was really starting to sound like the father I know and love. I'm glad he's getting better! He'll be turning 50 next week.

In other news, I'm going to the fair today with my family. My dad never went so it's not like he's missing anything.
