It's probably because you use a 3 instead of an e in your name. :p Whatever, I'll get you next time. :D

Easily overturned suggestion: Hey, can we make the deadline a little shorter? I doubt anyone took a month of continuous work to write any of the poems. Maybe two weeks? If not, that's fine too.

We don't do the month-long deadlines for people to work on the poetry, we do it so that more people have the chance to join :) Not everyone sees these threads right away, so it's good to give it some time to be known.

Seth's Poetry

Once upon a time, I had a pretty big poetry thread. But I posted the poetry on my site, which currently is no more. Without the other site, I couldn't do much to re-work a 4-5 page thread... I closed it, merged it with other unsuccessful threads of the same nature [of mine, not of anyone else's] and I'm starting over. Again.

Without fancy thread titles or added dramatics, this is my poetry. Currently, I have 97 recorded poems. However, 1 is AWOL in the hands of a friend [only a written copy exists] and it is not available. I have the other 96, in the list below. I will be posting them randomly, whenever I feel like, unless someone requests a certain poem, based upon curiosity from the title.

Some of them are love poems, some of them are very bitty, and some are very foul-worded. None of them will be censored. Here it is;

  1. Act 1 - The Fear Act

Addiction Means Me

Slap me around
Push me down
Bleed me out
Scream and shout

Where’d you go
Now I know
This hill is steep
This hell is deep

I feel so sick
Click click click
Bang, all sound dies
All the angels cry

Do you get it?
Can you forget it?
Listen to my words
While I die on these swords

Time moves on
Everything else is gone
If you’re so strong
Why’s it feel so wrong?

If I lie
Will you die?
If I stutter
Will I end up in the gutter?

All questions, no answers
No cures for this cancer
I know once you burn
It’s my turn

Tiny lines
Tell bad times
A catchy tune
You’re hooked too soon

Done? Head back to the top
You can’t stop
Call me an infection
I’ll be your addiction

The Effect of Music

Music flows through my veins
Music soothes my numerous pains
Washes my soul clean of all stains
But still my curse remains

But it’ll heal
Because I can feel
Everything that is not real
All I need is your reason to steal

I’ve come to say what I need to say
And then I swear I’ll go away
This is it, I’m gone after today
I’m going to disappear, fade and fray

I’ve got to do what I was born to do
When I’m done, I promise you’ll disappear too
Because what I’ve got to do is corrupt you
Why stop at one damned life when you can have two?

But I don’t know if I can last
Because it’s taken forever, and this pain still hasn’t passed
Feels like everything’s crashed
Everyone’s moving too fast

The rules of this life are far to strict
They choke me, making me sick
This effect I’ve found, I abuse it
The effect of music

Governmental Roller Coaster

Bang bang! Says the shots as fired
Not my war, belongs to the government
A world run by liars
Imagine all the money spent

Dismantle all military bases
Spread the wealth of unjust gold
Unmasked their hidden faces
Denounce the laws you’re told

Unjust war and rigged elections
Political sins committed without a care
Illusions made to pass inspections
Their brand of justice is just unfair

Conformity is the economic goal
Faceless drones lined up side-by-side
They flaunt all the freedom they stole
Politics, man, what a ride!

Updated the list with "No Good", which is a WIP.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
