I've become a better writer, funier (I'd like to think so, but I do get good stickers) and more empathetic. I'm also way more confident in my posts and when I speak. A lot of trying to build good camaradery here helped.
Same it feels good to speak my mind and for the most part get the same opinion from like minded individuals, ironic that a site like this sometimes feels like the only sane place left on the worldIt's been comforting to realize that the spirit of the old, semi-anonymous internet is still alive somewhere, and that sane people who know better than to completely dox themselves still exist.
Also, this site has introduced me to some seriously entertaining crazy people that I never would have known about otherwise.
