NotAFury: @panther is my older brother
panther: I quote @widower in saying, sadly.
the-mechanic: I’m one of the only people in my town with a smartphone, so it’s safe to say I know none of you
you-know-who: Small town?
the-mechanic: small, poor and conservative
spiderling: Oof
Scarlet_Honey: I suspect someone knows me. You seem to speak English well, and I have to go through google
Scarlet_Honey: *no one
widower: google isn’t always the most accurate translator
Scarlet_Honey: i know
Scarlet_Honey: my brother speaks better English so he helps when absolutely necessary
NotAFury: @panther and my second language is English
widower: I was raised speaking two languages so I don’t know which is my first
spiderling: I speak Italian better than English.
you-know:who: Hey, I’m Italian too!
spiderling: oh, I’m not Italian, my aunt is and she raised me speaking it.
the-mechanic: we have quite a bit of diversity in this chat room
Mary_Jane: thank god, I purposely signed up for this so that I could get away from the bland shit hole I live in
redwing: I mean no offense @Mary_Jane, but based off your user, you’re either a stoner or white.
Mary_Jane: neither
Mary_Jane: my user is a joke between my dad and I
pooltable: mind if we hear that joke?
Mary_Jane: my mom is mixed race
Mary_Jane: my grandma was the actual Mary Jane
Mary_Jane: she wanted me to be named after her, so my dad promised my initials would be MJ
Mary_Jane: when we’re joking around, my dad calls me Mary
Mary_Jane: its really only fun if you were there for the joke, it doesn’t make much since typed out
NotAFury: makes sense to me
spiderling: if it’s not too intrusive to ask, how old is everyone?
spiderling: I’m nineteen if it helps.
NotAFury: 18
you-know-who: 28
Merica: Twenty nine.
Mary_Jane: 19
pooltable: 20
winter-is-coming: I feel old saying I’m 29 compared to the rest of these ages

redwing: ^
gammarad: I just turned twenty six

you-know-who: Did he just call my the man of you know?
Merica: That seems to be the case.
caw-caw-mf: @lightning&thunder why do you text like you’re old
lightning&thunder: I was not here to mention I am Norwegian when we were speaking of diversity.
lightning&thunder: My parents had a high social status, so I grew up speaking this way.
shes/a/phantom: back to ages, I’m 18
the-mechanic: same here
Scarlet_Honey: I am twenty one
truestrange: I don’t know about any of your time zones, but I need to head off to bed.
