Of course you can! And I know I merail too…it’s just my opinion but when you’re reading page after page of things that can’t be linked to Jack in any way, shape or form that are frustrating. I’m trying to think of a specific example without offending anyone and the walrus chat is one that springs to mind - if I remember correctly, a Squig said something about David Attenborough and/or a walrus. It could just be me but that is a really loose link to Jack and it went on for ages.May I respectfully slightly disagree with this?I personally enjoy the little meanders off topic.
Im suspect we all have our reasons for being here beyond disliking grifters and hating slop.
I personally have had a year of really dark times and this thread has helped me through that immensely by giving me a distraction, but also I laughed a lot and learnt so much.
I have learnt a lot from you about addiction and AA and also just general how to navigate life with trauma.
Ive also learnt new recipes, got great book recommendations, I’ve actually bought a bag based on a canal recommendation and enjoyed the nonsense, walri And even the Motley Crew Schlong.
I do think the Jack stuff is super important and obviously purpose of thread and there are many in the canal contributing amazing and eye opening content.
However I would be a tad sad if all the side pumbles disappeared.
Hope I haven’t offended you, I am a massive people pleaser so am already anxiously overanalysing pressing post!
I maybe didn’t explain myself well but I’m not talking about things like poverty/addiction/scamming - I too enjoy this being a safe place where people can be honest and open. But the rules are that we don’t go massively off topic and I’m afraid I think pages of people saying Tommy Lee has a big willy is off topic.
I’m not in any way at all offended
