You're never going to be able to make everyone happy. The best you can do is to be respectful and engage in conversation in a level-headed manner. If there's ever any one who gets under your skin, that's why we provide an ignore function. And, of course, if you see anything that's against the terms of service, please report it.

A mix of the Golden Rule and "if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all" makes life better.

Respect and stand up for LGBTQ+ folks, and don't let the toxic members of this place shit all over them while insisting they're "just asking questions, man."

Well its got a color i guess.
You think my orange phase was something special? Just wait until you experience my red-blue-black 5th generation art deco impressionism phase!
Give me the job I'm applying for.
Who are you? What is job? Where is office? Email address of hiring manager? Phone number? Or: I can physically write a personal recommendation letter in ultrastylized cursive and send it in the old fashioned way. Whichever you prefer.
touch my butt then hold my hand
Easy! And a very logical sequence of events too. Holding your hand before touching your butt might send mixed signals 0.o
My secret is I'm always happy, unless I have to travel long distances, or do boring formal things. I'm not unhappy then but I'm counting the seconds until I can relax again.
You are living my emotional best life. Please teach me the secret to your secret.
Meta-note: your post made me think of an alternate universe happy version of this scene https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=msRaooooyds
Quantity? Temperature? Brand? If any amount/type will do then I truly envy your gourmandish palate.
I thought this was going to be a thread dedicated to The Corrs. I'm very disappointed.
IT IS NOW!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corrs
The Corrs are an Irish band that combine pop rock with traditional Irish themes within their music. The group consists of the Corr siblings, Andrea (lead vocals, tin whistle, ukulele), Sharon (violin, keyboards, vocals), Caroline (drums, percussion, piano, bodhrán, vocals) and Jim (guitar, piano, keyboards, vocals). They are from Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland.
Music:
Would You Be Happier
What Can I Do?
So Young (K-Class Remix)
When I heard about their split I was so sad. But then:

Ok everyone: please share your favorite Corrs songs/memories/lifestyle choices.
Ideal flipping scenario
I tried to do a flip for you and it accidently turned into an awkward cartwheel. Then I tried again with more effort and nearly broke my glass coffee table. Happy? :)
If not happy then please enjoy more wonderful Corrs-related content!
You could say that all those flips left me... breathless

End TLJ threads, i can assure you it will bring world peace.
End ALL TLJ threads? Or just the negative ones? Or just the positive?!?!

I do my best. However, I refuse to use the ignore function because of some strong yet ambiguous conviction lurking deep inside me. But even so, sometimes it has been very hard to resist hitting ignore for a particular user!

YES! I am all about the golden rule.

I live my ideals. Attending pride yearly, wearing my multiple rainbow colored California t-shirts to work or in my spare time, and making sure to properly value and party with my LGBTQIA+ friends. Also: I don't get angry easily, but I refuse for even a second of my life to put up with discrimination or bad faith arguments about inclusivity. Period.
Very. Thank you. Have a wonderful day.
Wishing me a wonderful day, as banal/cliche as that phrase may seem to some other people, pretty much always makes ME happy. Thank you, CaviarMeths!

WHAT WHAT IN THE BUTT
I feel it necessary to provide you a wide range of options, carefully categorized using a strict empirical methodology to successfully please the most logical and widest possible preference pool.

I spent a long time considering this request, as the scope and severity is quite extreme. All of the TLJ threads produce, taking an uneducated guess, roughly 48% of threads/discussion on Era. DBZ threads produce another 40%. If I successfully ban/remove all DBZ AND all TLJ content then this forum will become a ghost town. Less traffic means less revenue, and less revenue means the website will go bankrupt, making us all online homeless. At that point those of us without a safety net will need to huddle in the alleyways of the internet, solicit online social welfare programs and charities to survive, then possibly one day find new homes. Overall, this journey seems fraught with peril. I fear it. The chance that I may lose contact with large swaths of you all, or everyone. That by fulfilling this request I will achieve the opposite effect globally on Era which I set put to achieve, which is to inject positivity/levity in an effort to emotionally stabilize and heal whatever temporary fractures have occured in our community.
THEREFORE, with all that in mind:
Are you SURE you really want this request to be fulfilled? Can you live with the consequences? Take full responsibility for what comes?!!!
Earlier in this thread I was willing to give 1 person money, 25$ no questions asked. Anything higher would require a correspondingly important/appropriate reason.
For what do you need the money? Hmm?

"Yeah he took me to the Bahamas last summer and it was so much fun!"
"Well we're celebrating tonight. He just got a big promotion."

The fact that I wasn't able to make you happy has partially diminished my own max happiness. Now I either need to make you equally happy in a different way (perhaps some delightful Corrs music videos? Corrs memorabilia? Corrs alternative timeline paranormal mystery detective novellas? I have plenty extra from an earliest request) OR I have to make 3 OTHER people happy just to get over this disappointment.

The offer alone makes me very happy. It is very generous. Unfortunately I am married and my partner isn't into bigamy... I think? Uh, let me get back to you on that.
Hey! I left you guys alone because you said it would make you happy and now everyone is high fiving in the backroom? What gives???
Porn. Lots and lots of porn.
PornOGRAPHY?! HehehehehuehuehueheeheeheehaaaaaaYEAHahahahaHOO.
You must be more specific ;)

Ok! Having worked service jobs before I am usually super nice, but I told my waitress's boss that she was nice, efficient, and deserves a raise.
I can find her a guy in the same night. We can work this out.
Can you find a well-to-do youngish habesha male located in the bay area who is super progressive, clean, loves anime, astronomy, vegeterian, and is willing to give the ol' Señor a friendly tickle in the bargain?
Nothing Blackie, just be yourself and strive for your own happiness. Happiness, like hopelessness, is contagious. 🙏👍
Well put. Thank you :)

OP, I don't really get what you're talking about tbh, but I think I have my version of something kind of similar? I believe that our wellbeing as people and planet is interconnected, and it's my life focus to support that interconnected wellbeing. In general I think it's humanity's higher purpose to achieve harmony and cooperation and to forge a deep commitment to our future.

I don't really get what I meant either, but what you said really resonates with me. Harmony, cooperation and a commitment to the future all sound like fine goals :)
Love me. Love me as you would with any other god.
So I should add you to the list of internet gods I pray to? ADMINS/MODS/CERIUM/WEBCTHULU/VAN BUR3N, GRANT ME THE STRENGTH TO SMITE MY ENEMIES!
Remember the days when had used to photoshop picks and make them funnier, do it.
Give me a pic and I will do it!

Honestly? Just don't be a dick. Don't be rude, mean, annoying, or inconsiderate. Don't make people feel bad about committing small mistakes.

Act with empathy rather than selfish whims when you're with other people. Using a cold tone of voice because you're stressed about some personal issue can be enough to ruin someone's day.

I try my best. Guess all of you/the world must be the judge of that. Fingers crossed for a positive ruling!
Aww, thanks. This is probably the most-liked short film I've done. I hope you like it :)


WOW! First off the production values shocked me. Looks professional, well lit and directed. The actors are great. Excellent humor (the daters making out across the table made me lol) and good pacing, intelligent narrative flow. I was rooting for Slash, then Sarah, then for Slash AND Sarah. But that ending! I was wondering if the horror was only superficial appearances and then you hit me between the eyes with THAT! Absolutely felt the horror. You creeped me out ;)

Just be there.
Reassure me everything is ok and be nice
Don't give me small talk when I'm clearly not interested. A huge pet peeves of mine.
To be honest this is also a pet peeve of mine. I try to tell myself that it's a good way to practice patience.
Your thread has already answered its own question for me :)
I'm glad to be of service, haha. Makes me feel like my mission here has been accomplished.
...
Thanks to everyone in this thread for participating. No matter what happens I always come back to Era because it is still my favorite place on the internet. Yall are good people!
