This is an anon comm where people come to bitch and be snarky, if you were hoping for asspats, go post on SMR, idk what else to tell you.
It's definitely long and I wouldn't mind shortening it, but on the other hand.. I've been on the site since 2014 and I'll no doubt be here for another 5/6 years, so I'll get to it eventually anyways.
They literally put "SRS BUSINESS" right front and center. wtf
Yeah but did they slap a huge "SRS BUSINESS" on what they were saying? Yeah you're just dumb get your ass back on twitter
in all fairness to you, "SRS BUSINESS" is a very antiquated way of indicating sarcasm, and these days most people see "srs" and attach it to tone indicators or take it at face value.
but at least now you know it does come with sarcastic intent.

As someone who is also antiquated, I thought it was supposed to be "SRS BSNS".
Is it a problem if I regene one? I got my first today and I remember idiots stirring stuff up about this in the past...
No, it’s your dragon now. Feel free to do whatever you want with it. Those folks are just salty they didn’t win.
There is never a problem with doing what you want with your own dragons! Ignore anyone who says otherwise, and should someone be so bothered by it that they harass you over it, report and block.
The person who made said SRS BSNS comment:
You are absolutely correct.
Auto correct has not fully grasped my antiquated manner of memespeech, and I was too high to fumble with it when I posted said comment.

I remember a player who posted a lot in the Items for Sale forum, offering Gems for Treasure and Treasure for Gems at different rates. They had a distinctive forum signature: a screenshot of a dragon's face from some anime with the caption "you can't blame a dragon for making money", or something like that.
Does anyone recognize that player or recognize the dragon character? I think I looked it up once and the dragon was a teacher in some school...
(Not intended to be wank/drama & I have nothing against that player, I was just thinking about the screenshot and it bugs me that I can't find it again.)

I suddenly remembered years ago, perhaps 6-7, I chose to leave Flight Rising and liquidated all I owned to trade for art commissions. They weren't cheap. All the artists but one (I don't remember what their username was) finished the art they owned me.
The one that didn't finish was meant to do a pet portrait of my mother's horse that recently died. I paid around $100 worth of Treasure and Gems for that art, and I even told my mum that I was commissioning it for her...
You probably don't even come here, or even play Flight Rising now, but I occasionally remember how I spent a long time waiting for art that never happened, and it hurt.

I wish I had thought to archive the thread when I replied to it. Damn it! Now it's gone forever. I'll try to recap what it was, though.
So a user named GhostCollective posted a thread to FRD titled "mildly anarchist shenanigans" that started with a BIG disclaimer about how capitalism is evil and how anyone who disagrees with them is a centrist. Very passive aggressive. The disclaimer included something like "staff if you're going to ban me for this, give me a 5 day warning I have people's dragons in my nest." Then the rest of the post is a big long rant about how expensive Sandsurges are, about how it's terrible that the people with the money get the dragons first and set high prices for the hatchlings. I didn't read all of it because it was whiney and unpleasant. In the replies, GhostCollective told someone something along the lines of "it's not my fault if people start arguing about politics here."
Half of the replies were debating the Sansurge market, which were very long and very uninteresting to me, and the other half were "what did I just walk into" or "I thought this said arcanist, what the heck."
Just a few days earlier, I had a pleasant interaction with GhostCollective in DMs where they asked if they could add me as a friend. (This is definitely de-anoning me, but I'll bite the bullet for the sake of sharing this story.) I said sure, and we added each other. So, when I saw that this timebomb of a thread was posted by my new friend, I felt somewhat disgusted! So, I posted a reply, and it went something like this:
"![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ghostcollective I don't want to be friends with someone who brings politics to FRD right out of the gate. You're smart enough to know this is a bad idea. I daresay that you included that disclaimer at the beginning of your post and later said "it's not my fault if people fight about politics" with the intent to start a fight."
Then I blocked them. This is the part where I wished I had archived it, because that's the last time I saw the thread!

I love that Staff are making the site more accessible for screenreaders and such, but I am so tired of being paranoid that I'm gonna get caught using a Userstyle to give the site a dark mode.
Please, Staff. I'm begging y'all. Give us an ETA on a built in dark mode, or give a CLEAR, DECISIVE statement that a Stylus/Userstyle extension is okay to use to alleviate my anxiety.

I'm a nosy shit and went searching for their clan. Found this:
"Clan Info
If I say I don't want your input because your values are not compelling to me so nothing you say could convince me to do the thing you think is good over the thing I think is good, that is not an insult. That is resource management. Insults take fewer words.
Yes, even if I say it less nicely than that. "I don't respect your opinion" is a statement about me. I can understand why you think something and still find it completely irrelevant to what I'm doing. I don't have to manage your feelings about it any more than you have to manage mine.
Not active
Nesting pair will be returned, fear not.
If you have Harpsichord the traveling dragon from the swap thread and don't want him anymore, PM wispher and I will log back in to get him. If wispher is on hiatus, my apologies to Spooner for crowding up their lair."
Absolute clown behavior smh

aequorin did make a statement on a thread about dark mode saying that players who use third party extensions to improve readability wouldn't get in trouble for it, as long as the extension isn't "making changes that play the game for you or otherwise circumvent site or gameplay design or our Terms of Use."
