Name some forum members that inspire you

[Sharp]

Hahaha, I like to think I can be cool. Turns out, I’m universally known as “weird.” But, I think you’re cool.

[anon1571434]

I’ve been called weird and cool. Sometimes they are the same.

@metime

@SunGirl

Thank you so much @metime ! That means a lot

[SurprisedJ]

I miss seeing your post @SunGirl

It’s nice to see you around.

Another person I wonder about is @Dante13

If your out there… hope your doing OK.

[SunGirl]

Thanks J!! I miss talking to you. You definitely inspire me. I think about your past and where you are now often. You’ve overcome so much! There’s only a bright future ahead of you!

I have enjoyed a few particularly inspirational posts by inspirational posters. It looks like I have to narrow it to the top 10, in no particular order, though, because of forum rules for only mentioning 10 people in a post:

Finding a Job

Can I, Should I, become a programer? Firstly you can definitely work from home, indeed many companies would prefer this especially if you set up as a contractor. To be honest it is FAR easier to get work as a company than it is to go through full time employer. What about Math!? The truth is that unless you want to get into 3D Graphics, say game programming - or complex AI (which will involve data structures) or something that uses heavy math in, then you DO NOT need a high level of Math. If you get your math level to ‘A-Level Math’ (UK) basically college level, eg after school and before university then that will be enough. Sure you may want to do a Degree module in Discrete Math later, …

Beware, Playing Lots of Chess Will Shrink Your Brain

http://www.wired.com/2014/10/beware-playing-lots-chess-will-shrink-brain/ I wonder how this fits in with the jibes of the anti meds crowd that antipsychotics cause brain shrinkage , which is cited as a bad mark against medication.

What one piece of wisdom would you pass on to tohers

Set realistic goals. Aiming for the moon doesn’t always get you there. You gotta build the spaceship first.

@pansdisease

Upgrades. Super humans

What upgrades would you get? I think they may get to the point where they can sever the pain functions in a brain and replace it with some other way to know the body is hurt. No pain and you still know your body needs help, great one right there. You could break a leg and not feel a thing but you’d still know. Bone to metal transplants, unbreakable and durable, good one right there. What about completely transplanting your consciousness into a robot? Would you do that? No more flesh, sounds good to me. New and better working eyes, complete with zooming functions, you could see much much farther and in much greater detail if you wished. Eh? Eh? What about that? Perhaps they could …

@bridgecomet

What is this, delusion?

**Dear @YakDip~~ Please eat…call your case manager for help. I know I cant tell you what to do, but you dont sound well. Not eating can make things worse… **

Metformin: World’s first anti-ageing drug could see humans live to 120

A lot of people here are already on metformin

@Jayster

Very down, lower than the dumps

I entered schizophrenia about age 17. I could and can still do the things I had done for money up to that age, that is, I could and can babysit and cut and rake a lawn and maintain and run a vacuum cleaner. SSDI is not the answer to financial problems. In my estimation, they hardly give a person enough to live on. Jayster

Affirming the Consequent

"Why the natural sciences rely on affirming the consequent (and that’s OK!) "

@Trigger

Trying To Develop Relationships Without Sharing Delusional Beliefs

I can’t even tell you how many times a day I think “nope. Can’t talk about that. Well maybe… Nope. Can’t talk about that either.” After I run through this, I usually have nothing to say.

Also, Minnii, Sharp, and metime, and SurprisedJ have given me a lot of likes, as I recall, and that has “inspired” me to post more.

[Gir]

Anytime @metime!! You’re good people!
I didn’t intend on anyone being left out. If you’ve posted, read or even just observed, you’re important to the forum. A diamond is not defined by one or two of it’s facets. But rather, by it’s collection of them. Therefore, shine on all forum members! You are beautiful!!

[77nick77]

Ha, ha, you’re cooler than you think, pixel. I’ll just leave it at that.

[77nick77]

@Minnii, is way cool, I’ll just leave it at that. I’m not going to give any more names, but most of you are more than fine in my book.

Timbuk 3 - The Future's So Bright

You’re right. I have decided that I will allow others to bask in the awesomeness that is me.

For $5 per head, natch.

Cough up, suckers!

These two members are my fine examples.
Gir and SwitzApples

There are many great members here. In case I just mention frequent posters, I choose not to mention these members at all.

@martinhersey1 and @PinCushion both inspire me.

They’re the senior members of this forum, and I always enjoy their contributions. Martin picks his spots with his wise advice, and chordy never fails to stimulate discussion.
