do u pick something from literature, favorite movies or pop culture. Or do you come up with something on your own?

      I both love that “generate life story” option, and hate that it doesn’t actually generate a full-on story.

      Thanks! I’ll be playing with this one for a good while.

    My name on here rhymes with my old account name on Reddit.

    Usually, I just pull something out of my ass with the idea of it being hopefully unique. I don’t think at all about the potential deeper meaning it might present.

    I used the very first username I came up with for AOL for many, many other accounts, including a gmail account. I used to make accounts for every new platform that came along so I could own that name. It’s unique to this day, and includes no numbers or “special characters”. I can search that name and find old posts and comments I made when I wore a younger man’s clothes. I don’t use that name anymore, but I passed it on to my son in the Steam account I gave him over ten years ago.

    I had no idea what I wanted my screen name to be, so I looked around the room for inspiration, saw a bag of charcoal, misspelled it, and added a random syllable, and there you have it

        I’m in modlogs and saw this comment. I wish the mod had left it. This is what’s at the root of every anticommunist propaganda. Greed fueled by racism. Fuck them. They can pick their own damned cotton. And when they’re old and shitting themselves, they can buy their own diapers, clean their own shit, buy their own food with their own rotting hands as they die alone and curse the darkness they themselves caused by blotting out the sun of truth and sniffing any candle that light their slaves’ darkness.
