Kinda feeling strange I'll be sailing close to 30 in a couple days. I mean, I don't feel much different to how I did when I was 20, but just knowing how long I've been round the sun sure feels strange Oh wow, didn’t think you were that old tbh. I thought you were only a couple years older then me. I’m 24. When is your birthday? Well if you ever saw me, you'd guess I was that age or less. There're pictures of me from when I was 15 that don't look dissimilar to how I am now It was just yesterday!

Damn the big 30. I feel like people around 30 seem to have a rather wide range of maturity. Whether it's irl or like online content creators or whatever, some will act more youthful or "immature" like they're still in their 20s while others have become no nonsense adults that aren't really in touch with the current trends or online culture.
I turned 23 a few days ago and don't feel as mature as I think I could or should be. Also I don't know if I've ever really enjoyed my birthday. Rarely ever did anything for it and in recent years I kinda just have an existential crisis on the day where I reevaluate my life and always feel there's a lot more I could have accomplished or experienced... Lol.

Lol. Wel I guess first off, happy belated birthday man And yes, I've found people in their late 30s seeming more like they're in their 20s. I don't know why, but the ages just kind of blur together for me lol I don't think you should feel too concerned about whether you're mature for your age though. I had similar worries when I was in my early 20s before realising we all mature at our own pace. It's not like there's a rule on how mature and grown up you're supposed to feel in the end

Crazy to see someone from the old days drop in lol I think there are like 4-5 of us left occasionally still posting stuff. Honestly I feel like we might as well give it up at this point but idk for some reason I still feel compelled to drop a comment about new Star Wars stuff as long as the site is still up

Idk if I ever showed you guys this but I got a viral video on YT with 11 mil views, hope you all been doing good, hope you all had a good Christmas, birthdays, and new years too. thought abt checking in rq slick seem kinda dead on here
I just showed my homie this i completely forgot about it but yooo I was in sheer terror thought u guys might find it funny. I been just working hoping to go back to college soon, but I'm doing real good going to get an apartment this year. Aside from that I been just playing pc games, I ain't really linked up with a lot of old homies tbh.
~storytime~ I was partying and getting lit asf for a bit right, but I went to one party. This girl was from Chicago, but her n her (Z) brother moved down here w family. Party in the basement. I met with this one dude (p) and me and him were cool, talking, all the sudden he decided he was gonna throw up gang signs dancing aight well the mfer, the (Z) brother in house happens to be from a different gang and he's a real gang member. This kid (p) isn't. Well mfer his homies died in Chicago to people throwing up those jazz hands finger talking language signs real deal bro (Z) is traumatized and got trigged by it. So I'm right behind this mfer and Z bro pulls out a pistol n im right behind the kid. Mind you I'm drunk asf, and all this goes down I didn't kno at first but it went dead silent. He put it away after flashing it. It gets worse, my homie Ky decides to ash his ciggarete on the wall, so a mfer a friend of brother z come up to me as we leaving talking about he'll beat my friend ass Ky if he coming back. Mind you I'm gonna ride for the homies and stand on it, but I'm questioning bringing this mfer around like this ain't a zoo who done raised you, peppa pig? So I just go about my way, cuz slick my homie ain't got a right to do that. I dropped Ky off he got too drunk, so it's just me, my homie, and his cousin. All my good friends.
So we go to a pool I've never been too after this, I find this cute girl asking if she know how to open the pool gate, i don't but ask her to rate me on a scale of one to ten cuz im drunk asf, we make out, get in the gate. We're chilling by the side table n chairs, girl on my lap. I'm smoking and DUDE (P) chilling with me, see I should've said get tf away you trouble. He was really shaken up after the gun was pulled and I felt like watching out for him too you feel he was like 15. Plus he wanted to smoke. Anyways, my homie girl text me and at this time there's 5 of us sitting next to the pool. Long story short, my homie and his cousin with me. My homie that's his girl, we'll they broken up but I keep it 100 with them both of them. I was tryna get homie mind off the break up, and I was texting her too cuz when I had a bad breakup she was one of the only people who really stayed there for me. I was being there for both of them, but people don't keep it solid around here so his cousin snatch my phone, mind you I got a girl on my lap. He start going thru the texts, they looking tense asf not sure, but real deal look like if they see sum fake stuff its on rn imma get beat up. I be solid tho so yk I ain't switch over a girl. Somebody our friend, did switch on him over his girl later tho. So after that a mf'ing gang member finds us, looking for DUDE P who was throwing signs at the last party, this mfer got tattoos up and down on his head and face, I'm talking you got my little ass scared asf, he don't look like he from around here. I'm also drunk asf IDK WHERE I AM but at some Asian dude pool that I had to go asking what the address was as I was leaving the last party. He start lecturing bro, and my homie look at me like we need to real deal get out of there. That was crazy to me, cuz he looked like a real inmate. He didn't end up doing nothing, but he gave the "it's not gonna be a talk next time" vibe and mfer I'd be a witness they don't leave those. I knew a lot of ppl growing up, we all know people from different walks of life but this dude looked ready to go do some crazy stuff I ain't used to, like everyday living type shit. it's like the brother z from the party sent him there. I really don't know, but anyways.
So another night of partying I don't remember if it was before or after this event but same weekend or next weekend.....something happened bro cousin said sum and I got real deal angry to him, yelling, saying some real deal crazy stuff i dont wanna repeat, but that set the mood right there for what was next.
We get to my crib my homie and his cousin. you know I wanted to party with them, be a good friend, and be there for my homie during the breakup. We get to my crib everything going good, but they being nice. We rapping, he saying im doing great. He asking about fallout cuz I got a fallout bobblehead. I start getting sketch. Why he looking around my room. I go to bathroom, he say I'm starting to feel sick. I take bro to the car, take him home. A few months later I stopped partying but I only had them over along with our mutual friend but he definitely way closer to them like a third brother. I had stuff missing, I live in an APT so it's possible a worker took it but I think friends stole some of my stuff when I went to the bathroom and then pretended to be sick before i would catch on so we could be out of there. The timing lined up perfectly.
Moral of the story I feel like don't trust everyone's intentions even if you have good intentions, watch who you surround yourself with, be observant of your surroundings, and make good decisions and don't go to parties that your homie you ain't seen since middle school posted on his snapchat story I wasn't even hanging with him most of the parties. because if I hadn't got myself mixed up in that I wouldn't have dealt with the repercussions of getting my stuff taken or having possible crazy situations happen with the pistol or with the dude who looked like he just walked out of prison and somehow knew where P was. Honestly I think I remember someone saying my stories sounding kind of scary n tbh the most unnerving is going to your bathroom, having a realization you don't necessarily trust someone, or having a vibe that someone in your house with other intentions or cuz of this argument maybe they took things to far in their mind from earlier. One time I had people pull up in between my neighbors and my house on the street with clown masks all four in all black hoodies about to rob my house or the other house I ASSUME I watched them about 15 minutes, before they called it off. It was dark asf late at night that was scary too. I was like 10-12 when that happened tho. I'm unexpectingly off work all week, n I was sick last week so my sleep schedule is a little messed up so I thought I'd post here. Also if that was me in front of that pistol it would've been my viral video part 2 because I would've been TRIPPING.

Hey guys, I was gone for a few weeks... Haven't exactly had a great start to the new year (to put it midly). Good to see some old faces again here. How have you been Echani and Killa? Are you still in touch with each other or did you both just randomly show up here again at the same time?

Are you still in touch with each other or did you both just randomly show up here again at the same time? Yeeeeeeeoooo Pinda! Hope u doing good bro, n yeah I been doing great rn. Just grinding doing electrical wiring tryna cop an apartment, maybe go to back to college sometime soon. It's crazy how times flies, I done forgot abt this place since I last logged in. I think I was like 10-11(maaaaybe 12-13?) on the original star wars boards, n I forgot how long I stayed here on probands before I disappeared. I'm 23 now though bro, so it's real deal like you guys some of my childhood friends frfr even if it is just online. Yeah ain't you live in Europe? That's crazy I assume it just be cold everywhere over there, crazy what's happening in Ukraine too! Why isn't your the start to your year going good? All I can say is the beginning and end of the year like two different things, n I hope it get better frfr. I remember last time I was on here a few years ago I was going thru some rough times it's crazy but time really do change things. I haven't really used a forum or such I usually text so sorry if my grammar all over the place. Really happy to hear you still around on here tho, that's what's up.

I watched Mandalorian, n Book of Boba Fett. I gotta start Andor still, was wondering if it was worth watching. Honestly Dave Filoni should have most control over stuff because anything he makes just feels right tbh. I'm excited for new Star Wars stuff, really want Old Republic stuff that's my favorite era (ifykyk my username ) How you been bro, n you watch that video of me on the rollercoaster? I was dyin bro.

I think echani started Gizka. I don't remember what platform that was but there were a handful of third party chat rooms that we would use back then. I think they started on sw.com but continued when we came here. Some people also made their own chats I think and posted links on sw.com. I remember Nam, Natalie, and I had our own chat. We were kind of close but then at some point I sorta ghosted them lol. I wonder if those two still talk

It's possible, but sadly a lot of these bonds can fade over time

I wonder if those two still talk Yeah the chat rooms were fun, definitely better then message boards when you are talking to a lot of people at once. Idk man sometimes I just get nostalgic for TCW weekly premieres and going on SW.com to chat with people. I’ll honestly never forget that. I remember sometimes Canada got the episode a week early on Teletoon as well and then in season 5 Canada still had the 8:30PM eastern Friday night premiere when the US got shafted with the 8:30AM time slot and that was pretty much the beginning of the end I guess. Nam and I always had to put spoiler tags on our initial reviews because of it Friday night.

Yeah I made one because I felt like a live chat would be pretty fun, plus I got really close to sum people on xat just being able to talk back n forth when everyone was online. A live chat like that you can really gauge someone personality. If this place does end up booted into archives y'all should make sum similar or a backup site. If it goes down that will be the last conversations and only link for old members to come back to. hahaha, I remember jumping up and down in my bed when those episodes aired. You got milk in bags in Canada? random thought but I heard you guys put milk in bags like why not a gallon? Plus you guys can't have guns up there, is the crime rate high? I heard like the 6 (toronto?) can have a lot of crime, but everywhere in Canada like safer apparently. I went to visit a girl awhile back who lived in the boonies, n I almost pulled into the wrong driveway, and she said if I did I was liable to get shot by some old redneck. I live in the south GA though, so it's like a lot of people are big on gun rights and ownership down here.

Makes me feel pretty lucky it turned out that way Yeah and tbh the trolls were all likely children as well so that’s kind of weird. I think their might have been a guy posting porn at one point on the site but I think he actually got banned if I recall. Or someone was just deleting his posts. But I vaguely remember instances of people getting banned so I think there was some very loose behind the scenes moderation

And yeah the gun laws are getting kind of stupid, like gun crime rates are actually really low up here but our clown prime minister is putting bans on hundreds of different kinds of guns, even relics like the M1 Garand and Kar 98K, guns literally nobody uses or owns unless you are a WW2 collector or it was your grandfathers gun or something.

It's kind of strange to me, because people (some) feel in America if you take away our guns you are taking away our rights to defend yourself from an oppressive government. See back when the tea party was a thing and we were getting taxed, we were basically defenseless to the British, right? Nowadays if the U.S Governement wanted to take us out, I believe they have enough firepower (Tanks, Helicopters, Secret Project Weapons) to turn against democracy and hold it's citizens hostage to an oppressive regime. (There's more of us than them but I don't go around carrying M60'S and neither does half the general population) So it's like I personally disagree with that argument that we NEED guns to defend from our government as the principle is outdated. School shootings are also extremely high in America, they seem to only be going up. I'm personally pro-guns rights but this is an issue where I see no proper resolution. Mentally unstable people are goings to Dick's Sporting Good's, or there parents unlocked safe. That's kind of crazy to me. Some people also snap, so what if they have a clean background check? Like a lot of school shooters aren't committing crime/ doing anything for mental health before that PIVOTAL MOMENT. I do think we have too many guns in circulation, but like with anything once it is there it's hard to get rid of. Once we created a nuke to stop the Japanese, we had no idea eventually people like Kim Jong Un would use it for bad purposes. I feel the same way with the amount of guns in the U.S, some people will use it how it is intended, others will use it for crime and nefarious purposes but it will always be there. It's just a difficult topic because both sides make a lot of sense to me, and U.S is always in news for violent crime. The thing is, every human has a right to defend themselves. If you're in the situation of life or death, and someone is trying to kill you....I believe every citizen should have a right to own guns (lawfully, mentally stable, law abiding citizens) It's also hard for me to be for gun control because there are many dangerous areas where hard working people who live everyday lives but are poor must defend themselves from the environment around them. I also can tell you from experience criminals don't use legal guns just like they use rental cars instead of one registered to them, or stolen cars. Citizens lawfully buy guns to defend themselves. I have customers who have guns, are wealthy, very nice people who live in the city who worry about the rising crime rate. I believe you can't take away the second amendment right because it disenfranchises vulnerable communities, and random occurrences such as robbery, gta, home invasions, etc. Many people from bad areas go up to nicer parts of the city, in hopes of scoring better hits. So even safe areas are targeted, with people completely unrelated to lifestyle becoming victims. If we took away guns we would have to entirely rely on our government for protection (boston tea party remember?) which many think is oppressive, or we would be letting criminals continue to buy guns off the street and terrorize defenseless citizens. I feel like there is really no answer, neither side is completely right but my point is there is no solution, this is the consequence of the amount of guns in America. Is that Trudeau? I've heard he's questionable, but maybe he has good intentions at heart? I find it strange he'd ban all guns like that even memorabilia. I'm surprised Canadians aren't tripping out though. It'd be like civil war here.

It's kind of strange to me, because people (some) feel in America if you take away our guns you are taking away our rights to defend yourself from an oppressive government. See back when the tea party was a thing and we were getting taxed, we were basically defenseless to the British, right? Nowadays if the U.S Governement wanted to take us out, I believe they have enough firepower (Tanks, Helicopters, Secret Project Weapons) to turn against democracy and hold it's citizens hostage to an oppressive regime. (There's more of us than them but I don't go around carrying M60'S and neither does half the general population) So it's like I personally disagree with that argument that we NEED guns to defend from our government as the principle is outdated. School shootings are also extremely high in America, they seem to only be going up. I'm personally pro-guns rights but this is an issue where I see no proper resolution. Mentally unstable people are goings to Dick's Sporting Good's, or there parents unlocked safe. That's kind of crazy to me. Some people also snap, so what if they have a clean background check? Like a lot of school shooters aren't committing crime/ doing anything for mental health before that PIVOTAL MOMENT. I do think we have too many guns in circulation, but like with anything once it is there it's hard to get rid of. Once we created a nuke to stop the Japanese, we had no idea eventually people like Kim Jong Un would use it for bad purposes. I feel the same way with the amount of guns in the U.S, some people will use it how it is intended, others will use it for crime and nefarious purposes but it will always be there. It's just a difficult topic because both sides make a lot of sense to me, and U.S is always in news for violent crime. The thing is, every human has a right to defend themselves. If you're in the situation of life or death, and someone is trying to kill you....I believe every citizen should have a right to own guns (lawfully, mentally stable, law abiding citizens) It's also hard for me to be for gun control because there are many dangerous areas where hard working people who live everyday lives but are poor must defend themselves from the environment around them. I also can tell you from experience criminals don't use legal guns just like they use rental cars instead of one registered to them, or stolen cars. Citizens lawfully buy guns to defend themselves. I have customers who have guns, are wealthy, very nice people who live in the city who worry about the rising crime rate. I believe you can't take away the second amendment right because it disenfranchises vulnerable communities, and random occurrences such as robbery, gta, home invasions, etc. Many people from bad areas go up to nicer parts of the city, in hopes of scoring better hits. So even safe areas are targeted, with people completely unrelated to lifestyle becoming victims. If we took away guns we would have to entirely rely on our government for protection (boston tea party remember?) which many think is oppressive, or we would be letting criminals continue to buy guns off the street and terrorize defenseless citizens. I feel like there is really no answer, neither side is completely right but my point is there is no solution, this is the consequence of the amount of guns in America. Is that Trudeau? I've heard he's questionable, but maybe he has good intentions at heart? I find it strange he'd ban all guns like that even memorabilia. I'm surprised Canadians aren't tripping out though. It'd be like civil war here. Americas gun violence comes from its divided political landscape imo… it’s a country the size of Europe which spans 30 countries all with unique histories and cultures. It’s too large of a landmass to be effectively run by one single governing body. The viewpoints of the far west don’t reflect that of the south east for instance. Also poor wealth distribution and bad education systems are another really limiting factor in America. Trudeau is a major clown, just look up Black Face, “people kind”, or his trip to India and you will see why he’s memed on constantly. He’s a major hypocrite that is only in power due to the name of his father aka the man responsible for our constitution being what it is today.
