Yeah man, secondary cancer...She almost dies last year with the primary, mainly through the chemo treatment, and was declared clear...Now, cancer somewhere else...She's having a PET scan as I type this as it turns out. Friday we will know the full extent and the prognosis.
The engagement will come...It's not about the community, that's more about the user. There's hundreds, if not thousands, of comments on other communities, ocd and gems for instance with no comments at all...Build relationships and you'll get comments is a mantra for me, and you too also of course, and yet people don't want to put in the effort. That's ok, I'll take all the comments on my posts, no worries. You know? Makes me fucking angry at times...People begging me for a vote but they invest no effort in building a relationship, or even presenting their own posts with anything close to effort. Anyway, I better take a chill pill. Lol.
Your DIY stuff, the way you involve E with it, will pay dividends for him later. It builds a mindset, curiosity and a think out of the box ethos. But what do I know, I'm not a parent.
I appreciate you remembering the little man’s name, I truly do, though with our exchange on the other post that brought it up I think it’s not too hard to!
Yeah the engagement is sad. Some of the brightest recent stars I’ve come across just fizzled out with no warning. I actually just hacked the shit out of my following list and eliminated over 120 accounts that just stopped posting. Several of them do make it a point to power down and keep taking the money every cycle of the power down, so that’s a damn shame. The best we can do is try to bring more people into the engagement mindset in various ways, be it the weekend events, reminders or just dropping them from our list until they get the hint. The quality ones thankfully stick around so that’s good, going to keep looking for more and more as I can.
Oh cool, so clearly you know what you're about with medical imaging. Depending on the results I might share a bit...We will know Friday.
I think it's good to cull your follow list sometimes, I do the same so mine hovers around 100. I lament the loss of some that I really liked a lot but if they are not here there's no point in me following them...out with the old and in with the new.
What annoys me is the feeling of entitlement many have...The, I'm here so deserve huge votes mentality. It's like a recent chap you came across...A couple of amazing, if way to long, posts and some commenting from hive drummed up by you and I...A what is there in return? A single comment made by that user...One! Yeah, it's time for me to move on to more engaging people, no mater how good the post was. Votes and comments are not an entitlement.
So, cull that list mate. My threshold is about 3 months...Any longer with no posting and they're out.
(Of course I remember his name, I'm pretty good like that.) :)
