Aside from all the crap threads/posts, I've noticed quite a few threads which have enlightened me in things which I was unaware of.

I learned quite a bit around here. How about you?

People looked at your hand (guess it's yours) 233 times (Hawaii 2006 pics)?
What's wrong with people?

And a lot of cynical people.

This is a place where real-life people can show their true faces without REALLY showing their true faces, and it's usually not pretty.

So I guess you must hate women, huh?

j/k.

I think the biggest thing for me is to just get to learn about people and what they are like. People can show a side of themselves here that they may conceal in real life.

Of course, there are also all the BS posts here that I have to wade throught to get to the good stuff.

Doesn't everyone speak tongue-in-cheek? Do you always express everything you think in real life? Do you meet an ugly girl and say "holy sh!t you're ugly!"?

The best thing I ever learned here was back in 2001 when ICQ first put ads into their software. It was making my computer freeze everytime I tried to load a message window. From the software forum here I first learned how to go into my registry and remove items that were screwing stuff up.

I don't even use ICQ anymore.

i don't express everything I think. Neither here nor in real life. Whatever I say here I would have no problems discussing in real life. But you know what? You don't learn from doing nothing. And if I see a girl who i do not find particularly attractive to me, I won't say that straight to her face. Same as here.

You've been here barely over a year. Thing haven't changed much in comparison to 6+ years ago.

Alright, maybe it was a bad example - but it's easier for people to belittle others because they're not talking face to face. It's also easier to be inconsiderate (re: the thread about the teenager who accidentally killed her mom while parallel parking?) online, since there are no repercussions.
