I think that Tach was upset about other things and his history with Miko made him perceive what was going on as a lot more dire than it actually was. This was compounded by the situation with upsetting Pyrid and everyone just causing a scene and he just, you know, had enough.
He may come back one day. He just needs time to get his act together.
^^ Oh, there were reasons. Lots of them. You might not have been there for their altercations, but they happened. Did they ever.
^^^^ I was referring to Tachyon's general sense of frustration with the site that he's hinted at here and there, not to his specific relationship with Miko.
I do understand what you're talking about, however, and I thank you for telling me about them.
like i read it over a few times and i'm not sure where things were coming from, the trajectories of the thoughts expressed seem off, as though they are only half-related
at and passed, not meeting
This is what, like, ninety percent of Heap Arguments look like in hindsight. Sometimes I don't even realize huge arguments happened and thought they were just mildly heated exchanges, but then people leave and it makes me sad.
Also, honestly, Miko is really, really bad at dealing with angry people. She responds either with indignation or condescension, neither of which are particularly easy to work with, especially the latter.
Making matters worse is that she seemed to like people around here a lot less than people liked her.
It's frustrating because I care about her a lot, but she's often infuriatingly inconsiderate.

The weird "robot bodies" argument, the discussion of the Renard sexual assault thing, a bunch of stuff. I don't dislike Miko, but when she decides to put her feet in her mouth she doesn't stop until she's choking on them.
As for Tachyon's own personal frustrations, that's kind of private, but some of them are common knowledge here...
Okay let me put my two cents in: Miko, as a result of leading a shitty life, tended to bowl over everyone else pre-emptively and ended up becoming a bully herself sometimes, even when she never meant to hurt anyone. She has many, many good qualities, but she had such a strong personality that her belief that she was a persecuted loner is not true as far as the forums go.

Yeah, I remember the "robot bodies" and the Renard arguments. I initially assumed you were talking about stuff that happened on TVT, which was why I was thanking you for telling me about them. My apologies for the misunderstanding.
I don't know about anything that Tachyon said to anyone else in private. I was just saying what I perceived as happening to him at that specific time.
For obvious reasons, it'd probably be best if we dropped this discussion at this point. I'd just like to say that I agree with Naney and Odradek on Miko. I hope that she can get whatever help she needs with her issues in the future.
she has issues and is hard to deal with at nearly all times, and there is no way any of us could have helped her really
i still rather miss her though
I miss her too...
But her self centeredness was really difficult to deal with all the time. Any other problem I could have handled, but the constant condescension quickly became nigh-unbearable.
Grah. I still do like her quite a bit but when prompted I can complain about anyone, because I'm terrible.
Eh, it's OK. I think it's important to see the flaws in people that you care about and want them to get better where possible. You just have to be able to let go when it doesn't matter and have some tact about it all, you know? That's it.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
It's a combination of two-facedness and vindictiveness, and I hate it. Especially because I pride myself on being able to deal with people, something I'm actually reasonably good at IRL, believe it or not.
CA: There's still a bunch of old Hardee's and Marriott-era Roy Rogers sites around here that are being reused as something else (if they're not empty, anyway).
there are a few thai places around that are in former fast food chains
I have not been to a Thai place in ages. There was a great one that my family and I used to go to when I was little and we lived in Florida, but that was so long ago...
There is a Thai place down the street from the office that we've been going to for years, and it's on the ground floor of an old motel (which is still in business as a motel).
I've eaten at one Vietnamese place. I didn't have my allergy meds on me (or a lot of cash, for that matter), so all I got were the egg rolls. I don't remember how they tasted, but they were so greasy that I came home and didn't wash my hands and everything smelled like those eggrolls for the next two days.
And I generally dislike Thai food. Not because of anything related to taste, but any Thai restaurant inevitably serves Thai peanut sauce, and that will inevitably threaten to kill me.
so we've established that I'm quitting my job and that I'll be responsible for my younger brothers' education two days of the week, but she seems to think I'm just going to sleep in and be lazy instead of helping them.
and like what if she's right. I am lazy, god knows I don't like working and college didn't exactly work out either
speaking of college if I go back will I do as awfully as I did the last time or will I just fuck it up again

though i am fairly sure that everyone feels that way sometimes
i still rather miss her though

there are quite a few nice thai places about as well though, at least one within easy walking distance
it's actually right next to an adult novelties store
Vietnam is beautiful and its language is really pretty.
Apology accepted. Who among us hasn't been such?
