This isnāt very Plus Ultra of you.
You can make a new character with the original name and level it to 10, then post on that character.
Itās how I reclaimed my posts/likes when I server transferred this Etamalgren to another server. But now I look like an off-server troll cause of my low level 
I was in the hospital this week after thinking what was a kidney stone turned out to be a massive hernia that was blocking my bowels. Emergency surgery is not fun friends, nor is having your abdomen sliced open. I have determined I would rather be hit by a car than go through this again.

My confession is that Iām a grumpy cat when it comes to April 1st.
It used to be funā¦fifteen years ago. The problem is that youāre now so used to it happening, jokes are getting more over-the-top and the entire social media landscape becomes so oversaturated with them that 99% are just not good anymore. For example, a good joke is subtle. If the first sentence in your fake patch notes is: āNew profession: Sea Shanty Singing!ā, then I immediately know whatās upā¦
Not to mention that some jokes are outright cruel. A friend of mine had a (fake) termination notice on his desk this morning. His co-workers thought that was hilarious. Yes, the worst pandemic ever. Having rent to pay. A girlfriend and a three-year-old to feed and feeling absolutely horrified at the prospect of being jobless. Hilarious.
I sound like a grumpy old man despite being in my late 20ās, but I just donāt get April Fools.

Whenever I sign up for something like a membership card at a restaurant or an app or something asks for my birthday I put April 1st and then the year as far back as it will allow.
So I get a lot of random birthday coupons and fake birthday wishes from corporations on April 1st.
Itās even funnier when the year is acknowledged.
Happy 100th birthday Juspionās!!

I would like to confess that I am the sort of person who has their characters ICly notice when your character jumps because you mistakenly hit the space bar outside of a typed post, but my characters are all too respectful/socially baffled by the display to remark.

I agree with this sentiment.
April Foolās Day is just a holiday for the trolls and companies that either A: Know how to pull it off or B: End up costing themselves a bunch of money from mistaken marketing and PR fires.
I just donāt like it, Iāve never liked it and I wish it didnāt exist.
I kinda wish this had happened:

Itās canon now as far as Iām concerned.
Iāve just now looked at my forums after taking another break and seeing this. Youāre fine! Itās not a sensitive subject for me but yeah. Iām slowly coming back but Iām nervous to get back into roleplaying much less finding people I feel comfortable enough around or finding my own circle.
That is something Iāve also been facing of late, which is unfortunate. I find that I struggle a lot when someone is trying to get with my characters because Iām looking to create a story with a lot of fluffy & cute romantic and the appropiate dose of angst on the side to pull them closer but Iāve found that some just want to ERP. 
I hope youāve found a Writing Partner since then!
Sometimes I wish that typewriter from The Tommyknockers was real.
oh god if only
i like how muffins are just an excuse to eat cake for breakfast or in my case dinner because i have no concept of time

I ran headfirst into some gamesā April Foolsā gags. Like, downloaded Muse Dash to run into them announcing bankruptcy and then releasing a new idol character who looks like a doodle + a pack of funposting music. And House Flipperās Kame House update.
Memes are the only thing keeping me smiling these days.
On a less dark note, finally got enough witnesses to start getting my complaints about my lazy-
co-worker above my immediate bossās head and straight to HR.
Work is now a living hell because A) he wonāt speak and B) spends all night long standing in my blind spot while looking like heās about to pass a kidney-stone, and has done so for several days now, so weāre getting even less work done than normal.
Donāt want the guy to lose his job as heās got a wife and kid and needs the job to finish the naturalization process, but at the same point, Iām dying by inches trying to cover the entire site on my own and the new cleaning company is not willing to deal with this nonsense, so weāve either got to ditch the guy and get somebody new in, or heās got to get rid of this ābare minimum is good enoughā mentality heās adopted over the past 8-9 months and start working again.
On a happier note, I confess that thereās finally a bit of a break-thru with the fatigue issue at work because of the complaints, with a number of machines I normally had to disassemble on my own now being done by the Day Shift as part of their duties, which helps immensely since I now only have to reassemble the machines, rather than strip and disassemble, clean, and then reassemble over an 8-12 hour period. Admittedly this does raise the issue that the Site might be closing down the night-shift strip-and-build team, or at least planning on paring down the team to a single person, but it is nice to come home at night not completely knackered for once.

I played link to the past for like 30 minutes today before noticing that I had accidentally named Link āLimkā and at that point my shame was so great I decided not to replay the game after all

Havent played WoW in a while. Things havenāt been great recently. 60 stores closed across North America and 4 in the area where I work. I had to figure out how many jobs I could save, and save them. And tell close to 100 other people they lost their job and I couldnāt save them. Then recently my father had a mental health crisis, that Iām in the middle of dealing with.
Things havenāt been great, and I kinda miss WoW. But I donāt have the energy or mental space to play it the way I want, so I donāt enjoy it now.
Sad trombone

We just had 3 pulls on Heroic Denathrius for guild raid night where we got him down to 1% hp, down to 70k HP for one.
Iām beginning to understand how the loser of Godzilla vs Kong probably felt.
