Shua sir,
You have not posted in 18 hours and the GYE guidelines say one should strive to post once a week (no pressure. You still have 5+ days to respond. (Unlike the rasha who is giving me negative hours to respond -- They will respond in the morning if someone can take adverse action against me tomorrow -- Gee thanks). I am bitter. I will try to limit my outpourings.

How in the world did you add a Karma? I thought it had to be relegated (see my signature)

WWell I'm going to sleep now and keeping up with the 196ers is a full time job. Sending emails getting work done and dont forget the texting partners. So before I fall asleep I say goodbye to day two it was nice knowing you and I hope to never see you again. As weird all says another one rides the bus.

AAlso, nothing personal but I use my phone for gye and every time I'm not by my computer and I'm feeling super lazy is when I want to give someone a karma but I can't figure it out on my phone. I did it once but I can't figure out what I did. I thought I remembered but I guess not.

I have to remember Hashem is in charge. He can save me or choose to allow me to continue living in Gehinom and shine as a shining example in a community where I am starting to be looked down upon."

What are you talking about?

That sounds crazy. We are here for you. Open up.

HaShem is definitely in charge!

I hope it gets better for you very soon.

Hi all.

Thanks quiet for the Karma (ill have to ask Markz if i got it )

Can someone please explain what happened to the karma? Can I add to people's Karma or not? There re many people who need more Karma points and since I can only give them every six hours I'd like to know what I can or can't do.

Am I stuck just clicking thank you for all those posts. That's not sufficient for all these wonderful posts 

Someone was perturbed.

To all those who begin posting when you decide that you're gonna change and then as time goes on you just fall off the map. Also to those times when we feel that something's bothering us and we want to share but tell ourselves that no one cares or is actually listening or that who are we helping by posting and many other excuses:

First, put it into perspective. If you are writing on your thread or detailing parts of your struggle you gain most of all. Stop worrying about if other people will gain from what you write. Did you worry about that the first time you posted?
No. You weren't posting for them - it was a personal experience.

Did that feeling of relief and freedom you felt after introducing yourself come from that you thought that you were helping others?
No. It came from you. You were able to let a part of your soul out and what was eating you up on the inside is now outside of you and you feel free. You were struggling internally and after you posted and wrote out your feelings you are not struggling anymore with those feelings. You let them out.

Also, people are reading what you write even if they don't comment. I find that knowing that people are reading what I wrote helps me clarify my thoughts. Again, it's a personal benefit that can also help others. And no it's not any more selfish than wallowing in despair about how nobody cares ... That sounds quite selfish to me - it's all about whether they care about me. I'm advocating that you be there for yourself just like you want others to be there for you. 

Also, when I post, just the fact that I'm writing about myself clarifies an element of me for me.So if those benefits apply to you, don't ever feel like nobody is listening and you shouldn't post. We are listening and most important of all, you are listening. When you post, those feelings that were inside of you come out and you can now listen to them instead of just feeling them.

Good luck everyone. Help yourself by opening up. As the video link that's attached to I don't remember whose signature discusses, we struggle bc we're lonely. When you stay quiet and don't post you're adding fuel to that fire of loneliness inside you. Don't do it please. If not for your sake do it for mine. I care about you and so do so many other people here.

Again good luck

Where is the Karma thief who stole my karma?

How can a guard be a thief?

WWell right before I posted that I gave you karma so logic dictates that your massive karma rush may have crashed the karma site.

Well, maybe Markz's care is being used by some thieves to cart off all that valuable Karma. WSB should use that sports car of his to chase after them and put em away for life. It's a horrible crime against humanity..

I just changed my avatar to help the cause

I like the new avatar.

New video feature is amazing, once I figured out how to get it. 
I had to turn on/allow as exceptions 2 different sites to do it.
Still, there are bugs...it doesn't rewind at all. It only plays or pauses if you hit the screen.
I like to rewind stuff I didn't fully catch. This is a significant bug...that I'm sure will be fixed.
R. Yaakobson 9 minutes of literally laughing mussar, men are from mars/women venus style.
Duvid Chaim attempting to channel Anthony Robbins,
(and I enjoyed 3 or 4 of them!...though I NEED a rewind capability...and don't want to start it
all over and hear the whole thing again, just for that one-minute or 30 sec. thing I didn't quite get).

I listened to another Rav Fishel Shechter shiur too. 

I'm having one of the best Chanukas I've had in several years, Boruch HaShem!
I hope everyone has a great day. I'm off to a great start.
