Not surprised in my answer.

When I first had to pick out names for sites I always wanted Raven, however that was always taken. Since then they have always revolved around the phonetic spelling Raivyn. I wanted a slight change but something still raven-y. Corvix is based off corvide/corvus, which is the family name that includes crows, jays, and of course ravens.

Yes. I was unaware that there were any other ASMR communities other than the one on reddit. I remember back when r/asmr started and there was the issue with Wikipedia deleting the article because of the lack of citations and scientific studies to back it up. Im really glad that it has trickled over to here!

I think its interesting enough to try. I agree with the weekly rotation at first, it seems like enough time for each topic to be posted and commented on by everyone who'd be interested.

Thats because they're scrapped off of r/amazonunder15 which literally reposts it from AtoZwire's blog. Atozwire is also a mod of r/amazonunder15. Go figure.

The first thing that comes to mind is fear; so many ridiculous things that people do that they most likely take for granted frighten the crap out of me to even consider doing. It prevents me from doing things that'd genuinely improve my life, possibly, because it pushes me out of my safe comfort zone. I also suspect that Im really self centered despite people telling me that Im a great friend, that Im kind, ect.

I remember seeing this on reddit earlier today. My first reaction was that with the bodies layered and the stars above it resembles the American flag and therefore meant to be patriotic or even antipatrotic in some sense. I think its more towards the latter; if the message was about how far we've come from the sacrifices of soldiers/people then the bodies wouldn't be so haphazardly strewn about. Yellow has no place in the American flag at all, making it seem even more antiAmerican or even anticapitalist. It makes me wonder: who or what is this foreign thing that stands upon the discarded to reach at what could have been touched had they worked together instead of died?

Lovely New Zealand. I have an online friend who lives on the north island, who's doing school and ideally should be looking for a job as well. One of these days I hope to come and visit him and see how beautiful your country is. Photos really dont do it justice, do they? Good luck on finding a job that works for you!

After reading that last post, Ive finally decided to come out of the woodwork, so hopefully less lurking and more participating in this community :3 Pittsburgh here, 14c and it feels colder. At least the trees are looking pretty.
