But in all seriousness, have any of you guys heard from him?
Hopefully he’s just busy making friends in a new country and getting his family across the pond safely. 🖖
Yeah, I was wondering about him, too. I think it’s wild the Lemmy is tight knit enough for stuff like worrying about specific users. Reminds me of the days when forums were the dominant social media of the internet.
I know his alt but I’m not telling.

Bruh, it’s obvious it’s SwimmingCactus. ::facepalm::

Oh, fuck, we weren’t suppose to say.
Hoping all is well for him and his family. A major move like that in fairly short time is a lot to handle. I read a post not too long ago that his daughter has more friends and socialization going on in the brief time there than when in the US.
Be well Squid!
I have very few memories from the first three months after moving. The stress of moving combined with looking for a job combined with selling our old house just all piled on to everything. Couldn’t imagine what it’s like with the added burden of children and it being a different country.

I was the kid in a similar scenario.
I was like 2010s and from PRC to USA. Had to install so much new firmware on my brain (aka: learn a whole new language). Also, racism 🙃
Isn’t flying squid going to UK? I think that make the process like much easier, no need to learn a new language (other than having a different accent).
Someone in this thread said UK, but I don’t personally know.
Naw. Sent a DM a couple days back to check in, but have heard nothing. Here’s hoping they’re just busy with the real world.
Last I knew he was finding a job to ensure his family was all good. Hopefully he just threw himself into his work and is stabilizing his family matters. Best of luck to everyone out there doing what they can to get by.
-love some doof you’ll never meet
Went to the beach for a donkey ride and just rode off into the sunset.
Moving countries to provide a better life for your progeny will do that.

So we’re just making shit up now?
@Muaddib@sopuli.xyz has a bunch of children chained up in their basement.

Eh. I have plenty of pictures of my daughter naked as a baby. The weird part of this is showing off the naked picture to a stranger on the bus and making mention of the genitals in specific.
Anyway, everyone knows that naked baby pictures are used to torture children in front of their serious romantic partners brought home for the first time. This has not happened in my 14-year-old daughter’s life yet, but I hope to one day have this privilege that comes with parenting.
it’s really fucking weird that you think of naked baby pictures as “nudes”. something tells me you’re not allowed within 500 meters of schools.
The thing telling you that I’m not allowed near schools is your belief that nudes are good to treat sexually. If you realised the word doesn’t imply a value, only a potential, you’d see there’s nothing weird about calling pictures of naked people nudes.
“There’s nothing lewd about saying I’m busting it down sexual style, I love busting it down sexual style at the preschool.”
That’s really weird, you should see a psychologist who specialises in treating pedophilic impulses.
I notice you haven’t addressed the basement children. What are you hiding??
So we’ve gone from “HE’S A CHILD PORN PEDDLER” to “he has baby pictures of his daughter”
So like, when you’re at the pool and a toddler runs around without her shirt on, does your mind just explode or what?
Well, I don’t take pictures of other people’s kids at the pool, if that’s what you’re asking.
it wasn’t. weird how you got defensive about something no one accused you of.
You’ve described that in a completely disingenuous way.
What the fuck

Last time I asked about the inability to eat solid food was a couple of months ago if memory serves. He said he was doing well after the move to the UK, but the food situation had not changed. Also he was in desperate need of finding a job and was really struggling on that front.
I hope all is okay.
The last thing I remember seeing from him was a fight with another user, and a slew of deleted comments talking about suicide. I really hope he’s okay
They were hanging around here and posting more in the few weeks following that. I was keeping an eye open for them after seeing that whole… debacle.
Whatever else might have happened I’m pretty confident that that argument, at least, isn’t of concern anymore. I hope.
I have had my own share of publicly threatening suicide over internet arguments, so I guess feel that the urge was already there for him, too. Moving to a different continent is difficult enough without all the other struggles Squid has shared, I just hope someone who knows him irl is checking in on him
Sheesh
Damn, hope they’re OK!
I’m going to err on the side of optimism and believe he’s just been busy with his new job and moving his wife and kid(s) across the pond.
Edit: grammar
Same hopefully either that or he just needed to do a smart phone detox or something
Ooooooor, he got tired of the BS job offers and decided to go all Squid’s 11 and rob the Crown Jewels?
Coming Soon to a Theater Near you!
*err
I am just a simple Southern ‘Murican. 😂
But thank you.
I was just thinking about him yesterday. Seems like dude has a lot on his plate right now. I’m sure lemmy isn’t near the top of his priorities.
It was the post about Musky having that “meltdown” about Teslas stock yesterday that did it, I was thinking that this would be perfect for a Riker Trombone and then it hit me lol
Moving countries, finding a job, family stuff. Sure his plate is full
Yeah. We don’t see eye to eye a lot of times, but I was going to drop a post yesterday saying I hope he’s ok.
No, we haven’t :(
Well that’s…worrying, sending good vibes @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world wherever you’re at
I am definitely concerned, I didn’t interact with them directly often but I liked seeing the positive updates about their family’s move.
Hopefully everyone is doing well and just have more important, happy things keeping them occupied.
I thought my feed was a bit on the quiet side.
Hopefully they’re just busy with getting their new life setup.
Maybe they started playing the FlyingSquidGame
so uhh what do we think of tuvix
You should add Alexander at the end of the street.
Or a barrel
“Mogh House, home. At least it was before I fucked e’erything up.”
O no! I hope all is alright.
