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.

[-] FoxyFerengi@lemm.ee 27 points 1 month ago

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

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] FoxyFerengi@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

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

Damn, hope they're OK!

Well that's...worrying, sending good vibes @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world wherever you're at

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 7 points 1 month ago

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’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

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Same hopefully either that or he just needed to do a smart phone detox or something

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

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!

I am just a simple Southern ‘Murican. 😂

But thank you.

[-] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Moving countries, finding a job, family stuff. Sure his plate is full

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

I've been worried about Jawa21 as well. https://startrek.website/u/jawa21 shows a deleted account now again :(

[-] SatyrSack@feddit.org 13 points 1 month ago

jawa21 was https://lemmy.sdf.org/u/jawa21 for the past several months, but that is also deleted

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Oh I missed their move somehow. That's is also worrying

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Last I saw, there was some troll issue on their instance, then nothing. Account wiped. Rather concerning.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 12 points 1 month ago

I thought my feed was a bit on the quiet side.

Hopefully they're just busy with getting their new life setup.

[-] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

O no! I hope all is alright.

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 7 points 1 month ago

Moving countries to provide a better life for your progeny will do that.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

so uhh what do we think of tuvix

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Maybe they started playing the FlyingSquidGame

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Hopefully he’s just busy making friends in a new country and getting his family across the pond safely. 🖖

[-] Teal@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

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!

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

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 know his alt but I'm not telling.

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

Whoa whoa whoa! Let's not lose our cool here. I promise I am only a semitic cephalopod. Only flying I do is vicariously through my drone!

I think he became English, and in doing so ascended to a higher plane of sanity then the rest of us. So long, and thanks for all the memes.
