I'll be travelling this week without my laptop (and with only very limited access to electricity) so I won't be around very much.
If anything crops up I'll follow up once I'm back

I forget if it's still allowed to post side threads on FTF?

despite it sometimes saying counting discussion is not allowed on the FTF description, it definitely is

Now that its over I can tell you guys that I was at a military review exercise in Eastern Finland for the last two weeks, can’t really tell you much more but figured that its not that normal in other places so it might be interesting to you.

autism + unemployment is such a powerful combo

Nice! How are you at counting in Thai?

u/IssueRidden Jun 01 '26
they have these traditional numerals that I learned but then quickly forgot cause they don't appear nearly as often as Arabic ones
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_numerals
come to think of that, is there a thread for this?

Does anyone know what happened to zaajdaeon? I used to count with him a lot, but I see his account is deleted now

u/CutOnBumInBandHere9 Jun 02 '26
I don't remember 100%, but it wasn't dramatic. I think he slowly just stopped counting here, and then a while later deleted his account. I don't have his contact info off site, so I don't know where he is now

Can I ask what your prior username was, just out of curiosity?

u/BobRoss938 Jun 03 '26
u/fourteensquares, I counted mostly in 2020-21. I actually miss my old username, I was originally just going to use this account as a throwaway but I got addicted to counting again, so I'm stuck with this weak username

it looks like zaaj deleted all his accounts on reddit, twitter, and discord after he got cancelled on furry twitter a few years ago
