I’m satisfied with mine and I use it everywhere. How about you?

    No chance I’m getting a username this simple on most platforms

    It can be tiring, what with the constant coming and going of souls next door, but it’s worth being the neighbor of the beast.

      So I’m visiting a buddy one night. He’s at 669 Market Street, let’s say. I park a ways off because the roads are skinny.

      As I get out I notice a car pull into the drive on the left, up a ways, high side of the road. No big deal, but it’s dark mostly and I hear the engine running.

      It backs out and, as its front-left wheel bumps over the rough berm, I see the driver door swing open and shut. No one’s in the car! It executes a perfect back-left turn to come toward me, in reverse, and just short of me it executes another perfect right-back turn to swing into the driveway on the down side of the road. Just before I’m sure it’s going to slam into the back of their car-port at what is now a pretty good rolling speed, it does another capricious turn onto the lawn - still backwards - and hits the house at a basement window at a 45 degree angle and stoves in the wall a bit. And then all hell breaks loose.

      See, that place across the street is a known crack house, and the mounties stationed a guy there for a while to watch it. And while the driver is trying to apologize in broken English after running out of there and come to see where his car wandered to, and is trying to get into his car like he can just drive his car outta there, no-harm no-foul, out comes the guy from sleeping on the other side of that wrecked wall, super upset, badge and gun held in front like they do. Commands are barked. Buddy gets bracelets. It’s very exciting as I walk past this mess with the car on the lawn where it was peaceful not 30 sec before.

      I get to 669 and my friend says “hey, what was the commotion? Did 666 Market have some drama?” Brother, you have no idea.

    I’ve been using mine since 2011, and I will continue using it for many years. I have an alternate one that I use in some cases (things that need a little more professionalism attached), but for everything else, I will forever be LordPassionFruit.

    I also have never tasted passion fruit.

    Don’t know if you’ll see a lot of “no” replies, because I imagine if you’re not happy with your username, you would’ve already done something by now like a new account.

    I chose my username when I was a teenager and just kept with it since. The original meaning was that I’m a nerd, with both good and bad traits. It was also chosen with aspirations of being a YouTuber in mind and having something unique.

    That being said, as I’ve matured I like to think that while I am a computer nerd, there’s more to me than that single trait, so it may change in the future.

    I used my move to Lemmy to switch to a different one after having the same cross-platform alias for something like 20 years. It was time for a bit more anonymity. Winamp kids might suspect it’s related to the music player and they wouldn’t be wrong.

    I do somewhat regret not ending it with AMA, but such is life.

    Of course. Derek is now both a singular point in space, and yet, Derek also contains space itself. The nexus of Derek is without dimension. The moment of Derek’s creation and the eventual heat death of the universe are now inexorably the same.
