how much of your life do you share on this site and is it worth it?

i know i know; CAD is a post-whore but honest-to-God; without this board i would have made so many mistakes on home projects, game tickets, food prep, travel plans, financial questions, etc etc.

for all the snark that goes on here, i have to say my time on this board has been largely positive and while i'm sure i would have been fine left to my own devices, advice and support from here have almost 100% of the time been spot-on.

its a great 'spot check' before i take the plunge; in particular the home-garden board has saved me from making huge blunders and given me timely advice which elevated whateverthehellitis i'm doing at the time. nothing like a good ol' baw telling you why-the-frick-would-you-do-that to avoid bad ideas before you implement them.



here's to the clucker and the house he built


eta except that fricking HP tablet deal. we all got suckered on that one.

I'm sure AI could figure out who I am based on my posts. I'd say I get some solid local news info here. Posting here keeps my looney thoughts mostly private and I get it out of my system. Keeps me from spreading my screed on FB.

I’m intentionally vague here and I also claim contradicting things sometimes to throw people off in case anyone has an idea of who I might be. I mostly just have fun fricking around on here.

I’ve said way too much about myself and it’s very specific biographical information, I’ve tried to dial it back, you never know who you will piss off.

As a black trans woman I try to keep my details private due to the chance of being doxxed and hunted down.

same. you cant be on a site for 20 years with 93,000 posts and expect that AI can't figure out exactly who you are

There are definitely topics I avoid on here because I've been posting for so long. Never know who's paying attention.

I have had friends and acquaintances figure it out so I am sure AI would have no problem.

You could always run for mayor in some once great city.

yeah we're all screwed when the inevitable singularity occurs and the Eye of Sauron turns AI loose on this site and identifies every last user.

I don’t give a shite…my username is my name . Plus I had a company in BR with my name on it.

I’ve met so many cool people here I wouldn’t change a thing. Some of my best friends

I know you don’t like me but you should really listen to me. I’ve been around the block multiple times in multiple ways in multiple areas.

One person on this board knows who I am. I need it that way to be able to freely express opinions, many of which are not popular, especially with the LA sycophants and Jew haters.

I'm mystified by people with tens of thousands of posts that reveal their names, identities, etc. Maybe it's the Gen X in me that never had anything recorded, posted, or permanent, and this board is the closest thing I have to making HR shite their pants.

I’ve “outed” myself here through posts about insurance, my political campaign, and my restaurant in Liverpool.

I don’t see anything wrong with not posting anonymously.

I share how I’ve had success and growth financially and in my career. It’s not always easy to hear, but if it keeps one person from being a spoiled, entitled brat blaming the government or economy for their spoiled behaviors not being easy to come by, then it’s worth it.

Everyone in both of my group texts know my username. I'd be more worried if the contents of our group text ever got leaked
