And after some initial excitement,
I'm feeling like this site sucks ass.
So apparently you can't edit posts after "payout".
I really don't like that.
I've emailed steemit about putting in an option
"to aschew payment for future editing."
The formatting might not be ideal, too, since I'm not on FireFox.
Whatever.
So:
Hi. I'm Sean Windingland.
I was introduced to this site by Ozer Tayiz https://steemit.com/@ozertayiz.
Piece of shit site can't work with this editing and most of the fucking content is missing. Fuck this. It isn't working, and too fucking bad. I'm tired of trying to work with this. The entire point was that the formatting made this stuff easier. Now it's broken and just a headache!I usually go by SomethingSea. It was first for anonymity, and then it was sort of like an identity/brand type of thing. It's a name I came up with years ago when playing Nightmight
http://www.nightmist.co.uk/nmsite/,
an online text-based game which still is running today, but which, when I found Tormet , took a heavy backseat. I was using a variety of "Sea"s (because of liking the idea and image of the sea) in my various character names, and when I got on YouTube, I had to think of something, and so that's just what I did! XD
Thus was SomethingSea born.
I was first in San Diego, California, until we moved because my dad got a job in Minnesota when I was about 7 or 8. I was in Minnesota until about a month ago, now age 26, just turned 27, for the reason of doing an eco-village. I was first living with Jen and we moved from place to place for a bit, trying to tame the chaos of life, and it didn't work out; I moved in with my parents with the stipulation of getting a job, which didn't pan out (when you haven't had a job for a long time, it's incredibly difficult to get one, which makes just SO much sense, doesn't it?). My options were to keep going the route of trying to get a job, which looked like a complete dead-end, make a Social Wiki website (somehow) - it was this vision of a website that combines the sociability of facebook with the deep linking of Wikipedia (and this site looks pretty much like it -- good job!), or try out hiking out and living in the wilderness. It was about this time that I happened to converse with Michael Phelps, and he was apparently hooked up with Brian Grove, both of whom were intending to do an eco-village at Brian's location.
The relevance of this is that the continuous contention put to anarchists is that of "actually doing something" and things like that. Well, I'm most certainly "doing" something now! Except that it is not inherently political, which is what the common contention usually aims "action" toward.
Perhaps I'll leave this post like this, or perhaps I'll change it, or add more. But I'm done writing this for tonight.
