For a while I was using the same username for everything, but recently I’ve been trying to mix it up.

Context: Currently picking my new username for Signal and I’m not sure what to put. I don’t want spam, and I use Signal for privacy, but I could also do something nice. First name? Randomly generated?

    Been using it since the 20th century, and it’s never taken by anyone else.

      I’m going to start stealing your username on all new sites so you’ll have to be like Rhyn0plaz

      Same. Had it since BBSs were a thing. No one else has ever created an account with it either. It’s irritating when a service requires #s in the username field. Don’t find those often and I don’t usually stick around.

      Last week on lan party friend named himself Fu-King-Sheep.

      “Who is fucking sheep?”

      “I hope that nobody is fucking sheep”

      He had something like this every game.

    It’s a concept in Japanese martial arts that I read in a book by Takuan Soho.

    Wiki:

    Fudōshin (Japanese: 不動心) is a state of equanimity or imperturbability (literally and metaphorically, “immovable mind”,[1] “immovable heart”[2] or “unmoving heart”). It is a philosophical or mental dimension to Japanese martial arts which contributes to the effectiveness of the advanced practitioner.

    I was training in Jujutsu and kenjutsu at the time and the concept clicked. I know it sounds very ‘weeb’ but it was an epiphany and quite profound for me at the time.

    There’s a Shingon Buddhist deity that encapsulates the concept too and he holds a sword to cut through ignorance and delusion.

    There’re some related concepts like Mushin that come together with marital arts.

    It came to me in a dream. I don’t know what it means.

    Nobody really gives a crap anyways and the signal username is not displayed to your peers. Combine some shit and be good.
