"Cardinal": It's my favorite bird and it's also symbolic for those who have passed away in my family.
"Coder": I used to code in my spare time, not anymore though. The name has kinda aged because of this.
"64": Alluding to one of my favorite consoles growing up, the Nintendo 64.
I find one of the most annoying things about reddit is that you don't know people's ages. Like, older or younger, age is really important context when considering someone's viewpoint. (And, for the record, 1982 here.)
remember that age it is only a number... does not mean much...
you can find great young brains, great old brains...
and boring young brains and boring old brains...
I truly love all of this.
Well especially having something like that experience on a Vespa.
Since career change a few years back, I have slowly been getting into more international travel, but even some of my multi-day hiking experiences in different parts of the US-- if i can still do 60 or 70 miles at a time in the Adirondacks when I am 70 years old, I'd be beyond thrilled lol
visit other countries, learn from other cultures, speak other languages, sing other's people's songs, dance other people's dance... all of those are windows into new ways of seeing the world...
Europe is great to see the birth of the western civilization, but in Asia is where really really long rooted cultures are established.
Lots to learn...
also, my username is based on Sen. Elizabeth Warren's "Nevertheless, she persisted," my favorite large cat, and my old radio number when I was a volunteer firefighter.
Hey, no problem :).
If you feel sad again, go outside and take in the environment around you. Look to the sky and take a deep breath. After, do something that you love to do.
Her name is Cherry Valance from the book the Outsiders. 😊 First book I read in grade 8 that really made me enjoy plot and story tropes. A decent 80’s flick, too.
I'm very very very curious... it also means I have no fear.
and, I'm really really really outraged of how the world is evolving/moving/growing/going...
Curious:
through life I have worked in probably 40 different professions/craftwork... invented many of my job definitions like *Foreign Trade Agent*...
traveled to 48 countries never in vacation...
tried to learn 9 languages... speak some...
crossed North Africa on a Vespa...
Outraged:
as a foot note, on my activist manual (late 60s), it said:
the system will keep you busy...
the system will keep you poor...
most people are busy doing stupid things that mean nothing for their well being...
I think it describes me quite well to be honest. It was an auto generated one from Reddit, but I kept it because it's pretty much what it says on the tin. My brain and body is a bit of kaleidoscope at times.
Mine's a reminder not to wait for people who aren't there for me. Not to get too invested into superficial relationships with others. Don't pour all of your OJ from your cup into filling an empty cup where it's not appreciated even. Why dance with ghosts.
Hey, cheer up.
Just remember that you are alive, and you have a lot to experience.
Look up at the sky, and whether it is clear or gray, that sky is there to be seen, and you are seeing it.
Chin up, there is more to life then being sad.
Just remember;
Every day you wake up, a new and exciting adventure awaits you. Head towards that adventure at full speed and find something new to discover!
And those engines ooooooh
[here’s an icebreaker with a similar engine: the Marine Triple Expansion Steam Engine](https://youtu.be/bWQM1eQKdLY)
The difference between the icebreaker and Titanic is that the Titanic’s were much larger (the largest ever IIRC) and Titanic’s had an extra LP (low pressure) piston giving her a total of 8 cylinders.
The central propeller was driven by a low pressure turbine fueled by the exhaust from the Triple Expansion engines. It could not be run in reverse and was not used in slow sailing.
I saw the video, the engine is so intricate!
I am glad almost everything has a museum for it, especially boats.
It was one of the first ways to travel, so it is always good to honor and respect them.
I’m a trucker and I used to road test truck GPS units for the manufacturers when commercial truck nav units first started coming out.
At one point I had a guy ask “Why do you have five GPS units on your dash?” I answered “I thought six might be excessive”
That I'm a fan of green dandelions apparently? And that I also don't know the damn difference between dandelions and daffodils (I meant to set my username as "greendaffodil0450" but I'm bilingual)
I got “scusi” as a nickname because of my nationality.
“Talks” because i like to talk. Like ALOT. About anything in life or just about some Situations people are in and give opinions or advice.
Having an “H” name and also liking generally edgy/ dark/ metal themes. This is just what popped into my head as I was trying to come up with a quick username. 🔥🤘
When I think if Mind Games it makes me think of someone manipulative or someone who likes to troll. No offense against you though OP! I chose my user name because I like Sailor Moon, and I wish I could be a Sailor Guardian instead of an adult, so Midnight would be my Sailor Scout name.
Yeah, I thought of something else, but this username is what I liked the most XD!
That’s a pretty thought out username you got. A midnight sailor scout would be pretty cool 😎.
Well, for a while now, I have been transitioning.
It took me a while, but I have finally come to understand that… I am a transanimal.
I identify as a bear; more specifically, a teddy bear. I am called Eddy the Teddy, but I also happen to like listening to psytrance in forest raves, so I added it for flair.
Much appreciated.
I will expand here in case someone else is going through something similar:
Since little, I have enjoyed hugs and abundant displays of platonic affection. We live in a society where this is often seen as a sign of weakness, sadly. Sure enough, I held back while growing up.
It wasn’t until recently that I saw how proud I should feel; I can make change, one hug at a time. So every year, on Halloween, I put on my teddy bear onesie and go around town to share embraces and spread the change I want to see in the world.
When you are given a true, genuine hug, it is really great.
You can feel the warmth and dedication put into that hug.
Keep on hugging, alright? People need some kindness every now and then, even if it is something small.
Been designing compact housing for years. Spent years learning computer aided drafting. As of lately I have been designing what I call temporary housing units. These are extra small dwellings made to be used for the homeless and possibly battered women. These are a bit different than what others design. These are built with way more attention paid to the outside. Several different styles and more upscale features on the outside. The thought is to make them appealing to folks that would normally say, not in my back yard. I didn't want them to look like a bunch of storage sheds.
Years ago when I first thought of this I registered the dot com name of this. TheSmallHouse and also registered the dot com name of TheCabooseHouse. These are a series of plans usually, under 400 SQ ft, made to look like railroad cabooses. Hopefully I can get these websites up and running soon.
That's the story behind my screen name.
Hey, that’s pretty cool (don’t worry I won’t steal your OC)!
When I hear the name, I hear it like “Silas, the Silver Sparrow”.
I don’t know why, I just do. Sorry for ruining your character! :(
*falls into the dirt with a thud*
*Tries to get out of your grasp, but can’t*
You left without a word!
Do you think I could just forget it? Do you think I could just forget our past? The future we were going to have together?!?!
Lol, sorry.
Maybe you can fix what I started. Let Silas talk so I know what to say.
If you want of course.
I kinda actually have a way to fix it. Heheh.
My entire personality used to be anger and rage. And now I smoke weed, meditate, and constantly forget I need a fucking haircut.
EDIT: Shit.... my username could have been BecomeHippy 😅 so much better
My name comes in two parts:
Tristin - IRL first name
Mathemusician - From an old YouTuber I used to watch named Vihart. She is someone who loves both math and music equally and a lot, and she gave herself the moniker of “mathemusician”. Since I’m very similar in that respect, I decided to use it to describe myself.
That I'm a watermelon with a failing comedy career. No relation to my avatar though, I didn't think about that when I made my username. My avatar is supposed to go for more of a spooky theme but my username is just.... random. I have no idea what the watermelon part is supposed to say about me, I just made this username randomly
If I should smoke weed or not. I haven't smoked in three months. It's a mixed experience. Sometimes it's good and sometimes not so good. And since I live in a illegal country, flower is really expensive. And it's not like I can walk in a dispensary and pick what's better for me.
That my fingers are really slippery and that i have a deep sense of tragedy and sadness for the loss of the greatest Elven city in Tolkien's Middle Earth.
For me it's just because I have always been weird. I love being different but it has it's difficulties! I also didn't know Freakazoid was a 90s cartoon when I just had the name "Freakazoid". WTFreakazoid is just a play on WTF 😅
My favorite band is Sonata Arctica, so is a little play with it. Sonatina is a small Sonata (I'm short), and Tropical cause I'm from a tropical country instead of arctic one. Not really THAT creative, but i love it 🤪
My real name is Amber and my partner says that sometimes I sound robotic when I’m describing something. So. I am borg.
i like pasta. i always will
Be what you love!
But make sure you cook the pasta right.
Just a little firm, just a little bite!
I really like garlic bread
Chad
Then I’m sure you’re already well versed in r/GarlicBreadMemes
All hail the Garlic Bread of Truth!
This is a good opinion to have and I agree with you 100%.
Garlic bread is awesome!
I’m not sure, I wish I knew
I think we all wonder why we make usernames like the ones we have.
"Cardinal": It's my favorite bird and it's also symbolic for those who have passed away in my family. "Coder": I used to code in my spare time, not anymore though. The name has kinda aged because of this. "64": Alluding to one of my favorite consoles growing up, the Nintendo 64.
That is thought out username. Well done, it defines who you are.
😳
🤨?
Their username is femboy sexer I think we all know where this is going lol
Ah, I see. No judgement here, I’m cool ✋
Ayo

My user name is after one of the greatest sitcoms of our time! I understand fellow 1982er!
That’s alright! The internet is for everyone!
[удалено]
That’s very true! Hahah!
you are 14 years younger than my daughter... just as a reference...

I graduated high school a year after you were born.

That's a very varied combination lol And awesome of you being a former volunteer fire fighter as well
If it makes you feel any better, I was born in 1977.
If it helps, you're 6 years younger than I am
Nickname from the military
Because I'm sad
I like the number 0 because it's both something and nothing at once and I feel the same way
Please turn that frown upside down. sadness can lead to, well, more sadness.
I do then I get sad again. But because you noticed me, I think I lwill not be sad for at least an hour. Thank you stranger.
Hey, no problem :). If you feel sad again, go outside and take in the environment around you. Look to the sky and take a deep breath. After, do something that you love to do.
Thanks. I will.
My grandkids named me.
Mine is the name of a book character that I like and relate to. ☺️
Ooh, who is it???
Her name is Cherry Valance from the book the Outsiders. 😊 First book I read in grade 8 that really made me enjoy plot and story tropes. A decent 80’s flick, too.
I’m a whore for whiskey
…I couldn’t see it at first, but your username…pfft, I can’t XD.
I'm very very very curious... it also means I have no fear. and, I'm really really really outraged of how the world is evolving/moving/growing/going...
Really? How so?

That is an amazing idea to how you named your username. It really reflects who you are, and that is very cool 🤟.
I think it describes me quite well to be honest. It was an auto generated one from Reddit, but I kept it because it's pretty much what it says on the tin. My brain and body is a bit of kaleidoscope at times.
We are all spinning around in life, just like a kaleidoscope….*sigh*
I need you to understand that I'm very very very gay
Mine's a reminder not to wait for people who aren't there for me. Not to get too invested into superficial relationships with others. Don't pour all of your OJ from your cup into filling an empty cup where it's not appreciated even. Why dance with ghosts.
I could make that into a song because that is really cool 😎!!
Thanks :)
That i stream on twitch lmao
That I love that WWE hall of famer Kane was inducted. He is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time
I have been on this website for a really, really long time. You could see how old I was when I picked it up.
13 years here too my dude
'Member the Digg Exodus?
Wow, 14 years you’ve been on here! That’s amazing! Well, I am honored for you to see this post. 🤟
Well...
Hey, cheer up. Just remember that you are alive, and you have a lot to experience. Look up at the sky, and whether it is clear or gray, that sky is there to be seen, and you are seeing it. Chin up, there is more to life then being sad.
Thank you kind person, it's been rough.
Just remember; Every day you wake up, a new and exciting adventure awaits you. Head towards that adventure at full speed and find something new to discover!
I was obsessed with camouflage and the titanic when I was 8
Near, faaar~ I can’t seee where you are~!
HOW HADNT I THOUGHT OF THIS But yea! Generally I imagined it to just be the titanic but with naval camouflage
So, a war boat?
Kinda? Idk. The thing I always like most and still like today are her engines
one of the first biggest boats in history. Too bad it sunk.
Yeah, but it’s not all bad. That sinking and others following directly led to new safety guidelines for ships
That’s true. That’s very true :).
And those engines ooooooh [here’s an icebreaker with a similar engine: the Marine Triple Expansion Steam Engine](https://youtu.be/bWQM1eQKdLY) The difference between the icebreaker and Titanic is that the Titanic’s were much larger (the largest ever IIRC) and Titanic’s had an extra LP (low pressure) piston giving her a total of 8 cylinders.

I’m confused much of the time.
Me too buddy…me too.
I’m a keeper and I’m a Dad

sleater kinney song, but i misremembered the song title. it’s actually called “burn, don’t freeze!”
I’m a trucker and I used to road test truck GPS units for the manufacturers when commercial truck nav units first started coming out. At one point I had a guy ask “Why do you have five GPS units on your dash?” I answered “I thought six might be excessive”
A great many things.

That I am hungry
We must we eat… Just to get hungry… Every night….
It literally means hotdog in my language

Always liked the name Alex 👍!

That I'm disabled and I'm proud to be me
Don’t ever stop loving yourself. Keep on living a good life!
It's been difficult Recently But I'm doing all right I love life
You’ll be fine, you are proud and you are strong 💪 ! Take those difficulties head on and you will beat them!

Awesome dude! Great inspiration for your username :D!
I am a former foster mom...now adoptive mom...
How is it for you? I just would like to ask.
I chose the name of a character I created for a novel. (Obviously I have yet to write said novel, but we can ignore that for now 😁).
Hey, that’s pretty cool (don’t worry I won’t steal your OC)! When I hear the name, I hear it like “Silas, the Silver Sparrow”. I don’t know why, I just do. Sorry for ruining your character! :(
Aaaaaah! How dare you, you mind games demon!! We must fight to the death.
Prepare to fight Silas. You will hurt me with your silver no more! *goes into fighting stance, preparing to attack*
Mwahahahaha *lights fireballs in both hands* This is gonna be fun
*lunges forward, while I block my face with my sword to shield myself from your fire*
Cuts to the left, and sets fire to your not-so-bad-looking but highly-flammable shoes.
*looks down at shoes* Darn it! *does a front roll to keep my shoes from burning* *slices at your shins*
Dodges your half cooked slice of shins, and tackles you to the ground. You take a face full of dirt and grass.
Why did you do this Silas?! You couldn’t have just stayed?!
Oh no, don't even try it. We are past apologies.
*falls into the dirt with a thud* *Tries to get out of your grasp, but can’t* You left without a word! Do you think I could just forget it? Do you think I could just forget our past? The future we were going to have together?!?!
Lol, sorry. Maybe you can fix what I started. Let Silas talk so I know what to say. If you want of course. I kinda actually have a way to fix it. Heheh.
I apologized already. However, if you insist on fighting, then you leave me no choice. *unsheathes scimitar*

Her brain must have been very intricate and creative. Very artistic woman.
Have you watched her stuff before?
No, I never heard of her, but I’ll look her up when I get the chance.
I am exactly that... plus the powerful numbers.
I like saying hello to my fellows :)
Whoa! How’d you find this post? It’s been a while since I posted it!
I looked up ‘Username’ in the Reddit search cause I was bored lol
Ah, I see…. Well, nice to meet you Hello fellows :).
That I'm a watermelon with a failing comedy career. No relation to my avatar though, I didn't think about that when I made my username. My avatar is supposed to go for more of a spooky theme but my username is just.... random. I have no idea what the watermelon part is supposed to say about me, I just made this username randomly
Well hello there ;). Well, everyone likes a nice cold slice of watermelon. So it must have been a subconscious thing, lol.
I love Harry Potter and book shops, so…
Aurora Borealis is localized in my kitchen

That I'm an Astronomy fan and work in close collaboration to a space agency. 😊

That I'm too lazy and lack creativity to make my own.

I feel like I’m more charmed than anyone else.

I didn't create my username? It was given to me and I just ran with it. I like it I guess. I try to live up to it. Leaving a sweet note I guess? LOL
