I've been on here for 10+ years I think at this point. New throwaway, named throwaway to not even lie, every few months.
I tweet with Paul G every now and then positively, because I'm nicer on there. But sorry you dont think I provide value.
To spell it out for you: there is value to having some notion of persistent identity even on pseudonymous forums. Anyone can use a throwaway and say anything - and valiantly admitting you're using a throwaway doesn't change this fact.
Use throwaway identity, pay the price.
I'm glad your dad is healthy and yes, carbs cause issues.
