But that is what Twitter is for you faggot.

that's what here is for. fuck a walrus
My exams are finally over. Now I have a measly two weeks to work on my projects full time. Let's hope it actually leads to something.
>>46109
Your fantasies don't count.
>>46115
Both of you fucking imbeciles should stop posting in the old genchat.
What? I thought it didn't matter in which genchat I put it.
>>46117
never go ass to mouth
>>46117
Obviously you should only post in the latest one. The reason is even in the title of this one.
I need to buy another desk but the logistics of it worry me. Having a short car sucks sometimes.
I'm bored.
>>46124
Then do something useful with your time.

That is weird. Why can't I edit my own post? I'm already logged into the site.

Went to the Aqours First Live! concert yesterday afternoon. It was shown in a movie theatre which was something new that I haven't experienced before. I didn't really expect the seats to be so cramped or for the auditorium to be fucking cold. I /did/ bring a sweater thinking it would be enough, but I had to put of my heavy duty jacket so I wouldn't be shivering. I only got there an hour before it started but I got some good seats to watch the concert.
The concert itself was really cool. I enjoyed all the performances and I had even bought own my glow stick just so I can wave it around during the songs. There were a lot of people that were really into it. Some cosplayers and even a cheering group to help with the calls and when to change the colours for the glow stick. They also did a raffle for an autographed copy of the booklet that was limited edition. Sadly, I didn't win it. After a while of going crazy with the glow stick, my right shoulder really started aching because of the weight on my jacket. The piano solo that [Aida Rikago](http://www.seiyuuri.com/seiyuu/aida-rikako/) did was really wonderful. She wanted to learn how to play Omoi yo Hitotsu ni Nare.
This is the little postcard that they gave out to everyone that went to the showing. I made sure not to drop it through all the craziness that was going on.
I hope in the future that the group will actually have a live concert in the USA but I really doubt something like that will ever happen. Though I will keep an eye out if they decide to do a screening of the Second Live! that is happening later this year.

went camping. took these pics.
and here's my welding test plate... you take two different metal sheets n weld 'em together n grind 'em down and they put it in a press to bend it n see if the weld is solid enough to not split during the bend
that's my weld in the middle there, n there's no cracking or splitting on either side. yaaaay
Welding is for nerds anyway
i miss new orleans
I'm not surprised since you are a nigger at heart.
>>46146
the french quarter is full of gay bars and bars that used to be pirate dens... and i am also a fan of ass piracy...
and the crawfish etoufee is fucking astounding
Are you a fag hag?
>>46148
if i weren't, would i even be on this site?
and now for some murrican history:
jean lafitte was a pirate. jefferson was a pacifist who neutered the navy and so, during the battle of new orleans, england had a lot of ships compared to the u.s. jackson enlisted the help of the local new orleans pirates, like lafitte, who knew the bayous and swamps and could outmaneuver the english...
here i am shitfaced outside of one of his old smuggling dens
>>46149
Ohmygaaaad...
what's wrong with your face?
>>46150
i saaaaaaiiiid i was shitfaced. i was literally mid-swig of that drink
>>46151
You look like you just came back from an abusive husband that dunked your face into a boiling toilet bowl.
>>46152
i got sunburned... it's new orleans and it's humid and hot outside. it was about 28C out the entire time i was there
i had a smurf dvd on and i was typing up a post for my class forum, and i almost typed "smurf" into my answer
>>46154
You should go smurf yourself
I finally bought a mechanical keyboard. A buckling spring Unicomp model. It feels really nice. It weighs significantly more than I expected it to.
>>46154
Why are you watching that terrible smurfs movie? Stop supporting hollywood.
>>46156
Fukin' sweet man.
>>46155
i wanted to...
>>46157
excuse me SIR, but it was the fucking cartoon series. not the shitty movies. it was an episode where papa smurf goes to the other side of the mountain to get some plant for his lab, and brainy is like "papa smurf would want ME to be in charge while he's gone" and declares himself king and smurfette starts leading a revolution to overthrow brainy...
Brainy smurf is always such an asshole.
>>46156
You wasted money that could have been used for food.
So today was the last day of the two day course for the MSS program. It was all fun and games in the classroom, but out at the track it was brutal. It was hard enough that I was one of the few people who have never ridden a motorcycle before, but I also had to take the road test on the 2nd day of the course! There were experience riders there too but it was clear that they weren't that much better than I was. I did a lot of mistakes during the riding exercises but I never posed a danger to myself or others. I never even dropped the motorcycle the entire time.
Even though I did make some mistakes on the road test. I was given a waiver to get my class M license from the DMV. I would have gone today but it was already closed so I'll have to make the trip on Monday. I still need a lot of practice to be honest but I can at least drive it safely enough to be on the road. Though it will be quite a while before I can get a Motorcycle (as in maybe October).
I have to drive 8 hours to visit family. Then another 8 hours to get back taking up my entire weekend. Exercise and diet falling off because of extra shit I have to do after work. Bills due soon. Need to do some maintenance on my car. Lost motivation to program, learn, or do anything outside of work. The dark, empty future I see ahead of me that is basically the repeat of this shit makes me feel heavy and lethargic. I really want to die. I wish I was as motivated as Shin. I have a really bad feeling I'm going to fuck up this job with incompetence. I really should just kill myself now, as this is the high point in my life. I have accomplished I all I wanted to accomplish and seen what I wanted to see. Now it is just drudgery with more and more people dropping out of my life.
>>46167
I really doubt that you've seen all you want to see. That just sounds like a convenient excuse to make yourself miserable on purpose and to give in to your shitty feelings. You should continue to save up and focus on moving out of the US at some point, or in the very least, save up so that you can go on holidays abroad. You haven't seen Spain or Italy or Japan or so many other places yet, which all have a lot of very worthwhile and wonderful locations to visit.
I understand not wanting to exist because this world has a lot of fucking shitty shit in it and keeping on trucking is a god damn struggle for sure, but fur fuck's sake, dude. Don't ever even for a second start believing that you've already done everything worthwhile. That's just a load of baloney.
That your motivation to do things fluctuates is completely normal, especially when stupid shit gets in the way that takes up your time and energy. Just be patient. It'll come back to you before long and you'll be able to return to doing what you wanted to do. I'm not a constant powerhouse either and I get tired of shit all the time. I've been in a tremendous art slog for months now and barely get anything done there anymore. My programming crap usually comes in bursts after which I flail about and get mopey because I can't motivate myself anymore either. It fucking blows donkey dicks, I know, but it'll get better again.
Now get the fuck down to your family and enjoy yourself. Take some time off of things and *don't think about it*. Clearing your mind and distracting it with menial things is necessary to keeping yourself sane. Just forget about everything for a bit and you'll be able to come back with a clearer and more refreshed attitude.

What if Mcdonald's brings back the Mulan Szechuan sauce? If you've killed yourself by then, you'll never taste it!
>>46169
How many years has it been?
>>46170
About 4 I think. Maybe 5. Dang.
>>46169
You can make the sauce yourself. And then you can kill yourself!
>>46171
So, what prompted you to return? Aside from the chan switching software again nothing much happened. Things have been very quiet around here since most of the people have gotten very busy IRL or are using IRC.
>>46173
I honestly was just curious as to how you guys would react, if at all, to me coming back and posting like I never left.
I have a gaming computer now with windows 10 instead of a crappy toaster with ubuntu because I got a job as a cook in a small hospital. That's pretty much how my life has changed. Also I started making youtube videos for fun.
>>46174
I demand life update stories from everyone.
>>46174
Enjoying your job? What kinda videos are you making?
>>46175
I don't remember when exactly you left, but I graduated the Gymnasium, did an internship at a software company for nine months, then entered university at ETH. Failed the first year, switched majors from CSE to CS and tried again. Been at that ever since. Hopefully I'll be able to get my bachelor's next summer, but things have been a slow and painful trudge because studying for shit I don't care about doesn't suit me well.
Otherwise I've been very busy pushing out [a ton of programming projects](http://buttcode.com/), [articles](http://blog.tymoon.eu/), and [drawings](http://tumblr.shinmera.com/), though much less of the latter in recent times because I've been having trouble getting inspired and get too frustrated way too easily. About a year ago I started [streaming video games](http://youtube.shinmera.com) fairly regularly, almost every day from 20:00-22:00 CE(S)T.
And that's pretty much the short of it all from my side, I suppose. Otherwise, see [my bio](http://shinmera.com/index.html#bio).
>>46175
You ain't get no stories.

Mbyte was a postman for a while. At one point he got stabbed by a hobo. Later he quit because he had to deliver the mail on a shitty bike all day, which unsurprisingly ruined his back. Now he's working some machinery in a factory. He also said he'd draw some stuff and work on 3d modelling and a DOOM map, none of which really happened.
>>46176
Yeah my job is pretty good. I've learned a lot about cooking and I get to take all kinds of leftovers home.
I switch the instruments of music, mostly video game music, to other soundfonts. Here's my channel (the latest two videos are kind of different) <https://www.youtube.com/user/1colonelsanders/videos?&ab_channel=1colonelsanders>
Your taste in games looks good. I should play Trails of cold steel one of these days. I'm in the middle of Trails in the Sky right now.
>>46178
Good old Mbyte
>>46179
Getting stabbed by a hobo sounds like something straight out of a sub-par buddy comedy.
I don't remember how to make links.
>>46183
i like animu
>>46179
You didn't really expect me to do all that.
I did few lowpoly models though.
>>46175
I stopped pursuing the CS degree because I didn't like the professors that taught it. I still like to watch a lot of anime and always downloading more to watch sometime in the future. I am going to get a second job to help get out of debt and buy my own motorcycle. I love Love Live! and everything about it. I still am lifting weights and I wish that I didn't have a job so I can be in the gym more often.
>>46188
I would put that on my to watch list if I didn't have so much on there already.
What a touching reunion
>>46190
It's just generic faggotry.
After busting my ass for another year I got a 35 cent raise, but the raise doesn't matter anyway. The minimum wage is going up again this year so I'll still be making the minimum.
I'd like to quit my job now.
It's the American Dream
>>46195
Meanwhile my three months probationary period expired and got a decent amount of raise.
>>46167
we won't drop out of your life... if you want, you can have my phone number.
don't quit on life please, even though it is basically like pushing a boulder uphill.
>>46174
interesting way to return. i like it
>>46175
i live in the south of the u.s. now. surrounded by hillbillies. it is endless pain, but i'm making do.
>>46198
Did you ever get my package & letter?
>>46199
yes, thankies v much
chocolate was mucho delicioso
this is the baron samedi i made
the lightning pics i took a few days ago when it was storming so bad people died.
it was totally dark out when i took these... all of this light is from lightning
I can't see anything. Your photographic skills suck.
>>46203
you can't see bolts, but the light in the clouds is from the fucking lightning. it was close to 2300 when i took those pics. the sun isn't behind the clouds. and when you look at the filenames in the stoplight images, they were all taken within the same minute. the lightning was continuous.
No u
>>46198
That would actually be nice. Send it to elektrischeis@operamail.com. I would post my normal one, but I'm not sure what malicious bots will scrub my name from this site. I wish my studying had some effect on my natural understanding of this world. I have to do somuch work and research for things some of my colleagues do by instinct (like deciding between an agitator system or re-circulation pump. Still debating this some 2 weeks out). I think I have too low an IQ for this type of thing, but this place offers me an out to become an operator, so I'll keep going until my boss implies I need to get the fuck out.
I don't think it's about IQ. You're a pretty smart dude. You'll get the hang of these things eventually, just don't give up hope.
>>46206
I don't know anything about these things, but generally it could also be that your colleagues:
Don't really know what they're doing and are just faking it
Just had prior experience with the problem
Think that it doesn't really matter either way and picked somewhat at random or without properly evaluating it
Keep in mind that not everyone that appears competent is competent. Competence is a very hard thing to strive for and you might be pushing yourself too much.
i drank myself into a hospital room last night... you faggots will never be as hardcore/stupid as i am
hooray for brief bouts of crippling depression
Did you fall and crack your head open?
>>46211
no, did you?
No. So what made you drink yourself into a hospital room?
>>46213
uh... stupidity? it's not like i was trying to... i drank like i used to when i was a decade younger than i currently am. i don't remember the last two drinks, or how i got to my car, or what happened for the next few hours after that
i'm not happy about it
>>46215
Are you ok now? Anything severe?
>>46216
i'm fine... just some bruised pride and a desire to never drink again
...and my stomach hurts
>>46217
Good. Why did you decide to get wasted anyway?
>>46219
there's nothing else to do here, pretty much... ever since moving here i've ended up drinking more to pass the time, because i'm a very happy drunk and reality here is boring and sad...
you can't drive anywhere without seeing dead animals and garbage on the side of the road, confederate flags, and nra fanboys.
being drunk here is easier than being sober
tl;dr being drunk here is better than the reality
>>46218
Nigga you gonna die.
>>46220
Don't you have better things to spend your time with than getting shitfaced?
>>46223
yeh, so? i went out to get myself a graduation blouse for my ceremony, stopped for food, had 1 drink, and promptly decided that i didn't wanna be responsible for the rest of the day
i'm aware i had an issue that i don't normally have
Found anon's car
>>46225
nope
>>46225
close. needs less rick n morty, less simpsons, more animu
>Subaru
I wouldn't put it past him to buy a Japanese brand. Though, I would probably steer away from Subaru.
>>46229
Yeah I bet you like feeling the rattling of a motor up your ass.
>>46230
Motorcycles are a lot of fun. I've only ridden it two times and I've concluded that driving fucking sucks and walking is for chumps. Bicycles are alright but they don't go fast enough and they require a lot of stamina to go fast.
I finally got the chocolate. It's fantastic! Thank you so much! I'm working on my reply right now.
It's all perfectly fine.
I GOT HIRED AT THE GAS STATION PART TIME! WHOOOOOOOOO!
congrats. just don't drink all their fuel.

Enjoy rotting at the counter all day
@minty
>>46248
i don't even work at that part
>>46249
i can't, i make pizzas atm... and apart from small 5 minute periods, they are being ordered ALL THE TIME
i don't even get a real lunch hour, or a lunch half hour...
i have to eat during periods of time when people aren't ordering, which isn't long
>>46251
this is beautiful. 1, i think. 1 is the only one that looks angry to me, atm. i have to spend 3 hours doing schoolwork and then go to work til 2230
My brother found one of my cats dead in a nearly parking lot.
>>46256
Aw fuck man.
How old was it?
>>46257
Only two years old. Probably some car ran over her, my conclusion upon examining the body.
rip
>>46256
sorry about the cat...
got a txt msg from my mom last night nearing the end of my pizza shift. my grandma died. when i tried to text my mom back later she called n said her alcoholic pos boyfriend is hitting her because she wants to move away from him... who wants to trade lives with me?
>>46260
I don't know what to say.
>>46261
bonus points: today's my mom's birthday. it's also father's day and grampa died years ago so she has no dad to celebrate with. i have to call my mom today and i am really not looking forward to this phone call

Alright, I screwed up. I don't know how to create proper links.
thx
Moving to Ohio on Thursday. I am pretty lucky to have a friend like sucky to help a dumb guy like me. I cannot be more grateful for everything he's done.
In other news: The IDOLM@STER STARLIGHT game has some pretty good tracks.
>when someone new comes to STC
>>46266
There's a link in the corner of the post box that explains how.
>>46273
Right. I overlooked that
>>46260
update: my mom's boyfriend put a machete to her throat and threatened to cut her head off... then told her to "go ahead n call the cops" and to "tell them how stupid you are"
he's in jail now. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
Wow. Why was she with a psycho like that in the first place?
How long will he stay in the slammer?
>>46279
lmao
>>46280
she's been with him off and on since before i was born... she thought he was my dad until i was 7. you can't really expect logic in this situation
he can't afford bail, though. so there's that.
my mom just sent a txt that he had a stroke and he's in icu...
>>46269
y'all have fun together... this is so cute!
Found STC in image form.
>>46287
I can assure you that we, individually, are already mighty faggots.
>>46289
Did you buy it used?
>>46290
Yes. I didn't want to buy a new car because I wouldn't be able to afford it, nor do I want one when I want a motorcycle instead. This will at least be good for the rest of the year.
>>46291
It looks really good for a used car.
>>46292
I had my hearts set on something that looks like it might explode if It was touched, but instead I got a car that looks like I paid for it new.
[I wrote another blog entry wherein I mope about how stupid I am](https://reader.tymoon.eu/article/355)
>>46294
<3
i get what you're saying here... i genuinely do. maybe when i get better at programming n actually start having time to play around with it we can bullshit about that... and as for drawing, i doodled some in middle school n in my art class, but i was never good at drawing people and drawing scenery isn't nearly as expressive as people are so i sort of gave up on it. occasionally i try drawing, but i'm just not as good as it as i am at sewing felt and gluing yarn to figurine heads.
i sometimes with i had someone to bullshit about figurine making and mythology n such... but i'm kinda fine without it. i adore y'all very much despite the lack of having hobbies in common, and it's neat to see other people with interests that aren't similar to mine and stuff that i hadn't even considered a hobby before (iso and his road signs, for example). shin, you're the first person i met that programs computers. i had never met someone with that interest before until i ran into you. and i had no idea what an mspa was, and i found it neat that you made one even though i didn't partake in it all that often.
after you visited me, and i ended up having to see a therapist, i told her about your visit and how i felt awkward about it... she asked why i felt awkward meeting someone i was friends with, and what it boiled down to was that i thought you were smarter than me. that you made me feel stupid so part of me didn't know why you were visiting because why would you want to see someone that made shitty photoshops because they could barely work the software...
you're not stupid, shin... and your art doesn't suck
>>46295
Getting good enough at drawing to be "of value" to me would probably take anyone who starts out fresh a couple of years if not more. So yeah, I doubt I can convert any of my existing friends to fill that role. I just wish I didn't have such immense repressions about putting myself out there and meeting other people. I should just go to places where other artists gather and put myself out there or even actively ask people to talk to me. Just thinking about that makes me feel really awkward though.
I mean, I'm totally fine with people doing whatever they want and pursuing their own interests. It's good to see that we still get along despite there not being any obvious ties in our interest that keep us together. It's just that I don't think it would be healthy for me to keep on going on like I am now, as it is a rather severe detriment to my life. So to fix that, I do need people that share my interests.
I'm sorry that I made you feel stupid. I certainly don't see you that way. I've never looked at any of my friends and thought that they were stupid or less intelligent than I am. It's completely baffling to me that I seem to have this air about me that makes people immediately think that I'm somehow super smart or whatever. I don't know where it comes from, and it pisses me off constantly, if I have to be honest. I imagine that it's also part of why people seem to have difficulty approaching me, so it definitely doesn't help with my own struggles to meet new people. Anyway– what I appreciate in people is their willingness to just hang out and be aloof about things. There's way too many stuck up people that can't take any jokes out there. I'm not sure I need any reason beyond that to be friends with people. Being able to hang out together is kind of the thing that defines friends for me.
Attended Anime Expo(2017) for the first time just to see my favorite Idol groups: WUG, and Aqours. The performances were great and a lot of people were really into the chants and had glow sticks. I missed out on buying some merch from them because the lines to get into the Microsoft center were ridiculously long, but luckily the weather was only around 70 degrees which was surprising because last year it went up to the 90's.
The convention itself wasn't that great. The lines were so fucking long to get in that it wrap around the block. I picked up my tickets on the Thursday because going on Friday would be 2 hours and the weekend would be up to 5 hours waiting in line. The merchandise hall was small and had a bunch of the same things that I've seen at smaller conventions. I would have stayed the whole weekend but since it was basically last minute and I had a job interview so I wasn't able to do it. I would like to attend again, but this time I would buy the expensive VIP badge because I missed out on a lot of stuff (such as the special merch) they were selling and I could skip the lines for the panels and go in early.
Los Angeles itself was okay. I tried using the Metro system they had, but it sucked balls. I stayed with some relatives of mine that I haven't seen in many years and It was too bad that I was only there for 2 days. I kind of wish I had planned things out better. Not far from where I stayed was Compton. I asked if the area was getting better, but they said it's pretty much the same and to watch out for the negros and other Hispanic people because apparently they are still fighting among themselves for control of certain areas.
I had to take 3 flights back to Ohio. The one going to Phoenix to Chicago was the absolute worst. It was suppose to leave at 00:45 but instead it left at 02:00 because of the bad weather. So I had to stay up because they sometimes change the gate for the plane and if I miss it, I would be stuck in Phoenix for god knows how long. I tried to buy some coffee but every store inside the terminal was closed, so I just walked around the terminal for 6 hours to stay awake.
TLDR: I went to Los Angeles and suffered a little just to see my favorite Idol groups. I love them so much and would do it again.
This is the special glow stick they had for the event(had to pre-order it). It was their first time performing in the USA with all 9 members.
TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE IN AUGUST! i have always wanted to see one and now it's just a 6-7 hour drive away. I'M DOIN' IT. IMA GO SEE THE FUCKIN' ECLIPSE. HEADING TO (/looks at map of eclipse path) CUBA, MISSOURI AND GETTING A SHITTY HOTEL ACROSS THE STREET FROM A WAL-MART! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
>>46305
Wish I was excited about anything as much as you seem to be about this.
>>46306
i've wanted to see a total solar eclipse since i saw my first lunar eclipse as a wee lass... i wanted to be an astronomer as a kid. i still like astronomy and stargaze at night.
sad part is: when i was in my astronomy class like, two summers ago, we had to study this solar eclipse and i was like "gee, i'd kinda like to see that, but there's no way i'm gonna go to hillbilly land to do it. i'd like to be out of here by then" and now here i am... i'm fucking here. fucking. here.
A pizza can also look like an eclipse if you squint hard enough.
>>46308
no... no it can't. eclipses are made of joy. pizzas at the gas station are made and put together with flies buzzing around on the meat and the only consolation is that at least the food goes through an oven before you eat it
me n shin yesterday when we were wearing the same shirt
i bought shin n sucky presents... the rest of you should feel jealous
also, i have acquired a kitten
this is lilith. lily for short... she is currently sleeping in my lap while i type. last night she curled up in my hair n used it as a bed while she slept, purring loudly in my ear
I want to get a dog badly but I just don't have the time to take care of it :(
Here's our new cat. She jumps a lot. I'm gonna call her Torpedo, though sis doesn't like that.
Those are some cute cats.
I really miss mine.
In other news, I've been on the job for a week and everything has been smooth sailing. I am a janitor so work isn't too hard. In fact it's a much easier job to do than my previous. I am hoping that I won't be in this position for long because I really would like to do something more interesting.

She was obviously casting spells on workplace

lemme run this down: yesterday we were supposed to have 4 people on the shift until 7 pm. one person showed up n clocked out early because of family issues, another left because they were puking, so we were half-manned. then we had a rush of customer orders, with people coming in ordering 5-6 different things. i apparently got a complaint that i was rude to a customer (there's no audio confirming this, as there are only 3 cameras and they don't record sound) so there's no proof that i was. someone who works there showed up n decided to clock in n stand around, so i called in john who showed up and went into the kitchen to do all the dishes (there's no camera in the kitchen) so i got a write up that i was not asked to sign, and yelled at for other people standing around when i had asked them to come over and help me out, so i ended up staying an hour after continuing to clean. got told that i was standing around doing nothing in the kitchen for an hour when i have a fresh batch of dough that is in the cooler meaning that that's bullshit, and again there's no camera in the kitchen so it's just someone makin' shit up. also, i didn't get told i was getting fired today. my time card just wasn't there when i went to clock in. so i came in to work and got told i'm fired, and told to bring in all my stuff by sunday, when the manager (who has my phone number, btw) could've just said "hey bring your stuff in i'm letting you go" so that's bullshit. so, they're keeping people who show late repeatedly, forget to lock the store door, lose their nametags, fuck up dough continually, and firing me even though every time i get called in to work for someone i show up. i make sure i do every thing on the night shift list. and i even work off the clock because they're like "make sure you clock out on time" because they don't wanna have to get penalties for part-timers working full-time and not providing health insurance.
the funniest part is there's an inspection next week n they just fired 4 people so i dunno how they're gonna make it through the inspection with nobody there to clean the place up beforehand or make the food or run the register
>>46385
Sounds pretty much exactly like the kind of bullshit anon went through.
>>46387
If she hasn't been there for long, then they could have fired her for pretty much any reason.
>>46388
i'd been there for two months. yeah... shit's cruel here. went to drop my stuff off today and the assistant manager was there n she was like "i think this is bullshit. last night wasn't your fault it was management."
>>46389
They did you dirty my nigga.
Is there another job you can get?
>>46390
i know they did. i applied for the family dollar in town right after i got home
>>46393
I love that place. It's so cheap!
>>46394
just like your mom! :D
to add to my current problem, somebody somehow used my bank card info to ring up over 400$ in hotel charges and tj maxx spending.
hooray for identity theft
>>46396
I hope you filed a report and got your money back.
>>46397
yeh, man... mexican food is my saviour. thankfully i had an urge for the local mexican restaurant so checked the account. called the bank n the charges came from florida and alabama, and usaa has a really good fraud policy so the money'll be back tomorrow probably. i still feel fuckin' violated, though. also paranoid. cuz it's not like i hand my card info out to everyone.
>>46398
If you saved your card details online somewhere it's possible you got fucked through that.
>>46399
well, whoever it was probably had a physical version of my card somehow, and/or an id card in my name, because that's required when you get a hotel. you can't just rent a hotel room without an id... they don't let people do that here
>>46400
There's some pretty screwy stories about hackers slowly elevating their privileges to the point where they were able to change the residential address of phone lines and then from that start cancelling stuff and so forth. All through social engineering and knowing which companies expose which parts of information about their users in some manner. Like using PayPal customer service to get the last four digits of the credit card number, then using that info to get validated at iCloud customer service, thus hijacking email, etc etc.
>>46401
I've only heard of this kind of stuff happening to relatively famous people though where stealing their identity is actually valuable, so I'm not sure what's going on here.
>>46402
that's what makes the identity theft so stupid...
i'm already broke and have fairly shit credit...
well, i checked my credit report for the first time in years, and at least i don't have any houses that i don't know about, or credit cards that i don't know about.
i feel a little better now
went n saw the solar eclipse. it was fucking awesome.
>>46411
Did you meet with Sucky and suck his dick?
Moved into my new apartment yesterday. I'll be honest, it's a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be. I had a plan to get almost everything I would need to start out, but then I ran into some problems yesterday so I have no pans or utensils right now. My folks said they are going to provide me with pans and plates. So I'll just buy some cheap shit to make due.
Since you didn't lose sight and can still write out messages, how about responding to my mail to keep our nonsense conversation running? I humoured your bonding time idea, but if you would rather not follow up on it anymore, then you could let me know.
>>46415
i'm gonna. it was a 7 hour drive there and then a 7 hour drive back... i needed a day to unpack n re-cuperate.
sorry about the wait
>>46414
I have to start from zero and my money is getting blown away by purchasing the bare essentials of living.
>>46418
i know. that's the part that sucks. you can do it, though. i believe in you
That is why I told you not to get an apartment before visiting it. At least you live in a nice area. When are they moving you to extrusion?
I'm just tired all the time. Tired in mind and body. I'm breaking it off with a girl because the thought of having to put effort into driving around pretending to like dumb bullshit is too much. I'm too old to love or care anymore. Stress and chronic depression have worn me down too fast.
>>46426
If I don't find out by Wednesday, then I'll bug HR about it.
I just need furniture because it's just an empty space right now.
i've been running a fever all day. i am either too hot or too cold and i'm sweaty and itchy and i hate it. i wanted to sew today. i had schoolwork to do. i've been laying on the couch all day
3 straight days of fever now... i think i have the flu. there's no other possible explanation for it.
>>46432
You sure you don't have AIDS or something, cause your immune system is pathetic.
Cheap shots aside, get well soon, minty. You can't escape the US if you're sick constantly.
>>46433
this is the trade off: i have periodic migraines, colds, and occasionally the 24 hr virus. in return i have never had something more serious than these things...
this is the first time i've ever had the flu. i'm 32, and have never had the flu before. this is weird for me.
I HAVE A FUCKING JOB INTERVIEW TOMORROW! WISH ME LUCK!
>>46485
Show them your dick and they'll immediately hire you, guaranteed.
Trust me on this one. I've read it on the internet.
It works like that in porn so it must be true
i didn't get the job
Well, you tried
>>46490
because of all the tests and everything i did for the post office job attempt, i just re-applied for two other nearby post offices. that way i could keep the same application and everything. i was second on the list this time, so i mean... it's not like i wasn't close. and ima apply for another job later at a restaurant
>>46491
>>>>>>working at a post office
That reminds how many morons and retards are there with lack of any knowledge how the postal services work. Despite they easily could get all the informations they need. But instead they just complaints about everything. The best is when the mailman leaves a notice about an attempted delivery. Next day they come to the mailman: "Hello I found this notice in my mailbox, do you have this letter/package?" If the fucking moron would've read that shit he would know, he can get his shit at the office upon showing his notice.
>>46492
Reading is hard
>>46493
The problem is they can read, just they lack the reading comprehension. Now add in that some of them are supposed to be having some sort of degree.
>>46494
Nah, reading is hard for your brain to do, so people avoid it if they can. Much easier to be lazy and just bother the postman about it the next day than to read and follow instructions.
>>46495
Either way fuck them.
i re-wrote the paper i was having a problem with and got 245 out of 250 on it. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
GOT A FUCKING JOB OFFER IN MY EMAIL WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
lads are we still gay
>>46506
Thanks for the update. I recently questioned if we still were and that made me very uncomfortable. I sighed in relief when I saw this post.
>>46508
Isn't that like next year or something.
>>46509
yes. may 30th
I was starting to question my homosexuality for a second. Thanks!
Cocks
Saturday was my last day of being a Janitor and I am very happy that I was able to become an Extrusion Operator before the end of the year. The downside is the current schedule is 13 days straight with 1 day off. It'll be my first time doing the swing shifts so I hope it won't be too bad. I start my new job on Monday.
Things to do
* Save money
* Become an Electrician
Today I grabbed my crotch and moonwalked into my boss' office, asking for a mayor raise. So mostly likely I gonna start the next year with a much higher wage. Basically reported him most of the issues regarding my position and the working environment, the reasons why am I asking for a better wage.
Good work. Grabbing your crotch was a smart move, I'm sure it increased your chances.
>>46566
Shoulda slapped your boss across his face with your dick too. That would've impressed him even more.
I travel 8 hours to visit family and friends and my friends basically ignore me and won't answer any of my texts or calls
I forgot the irc channel's address... Been a long time.
As a matter of fact I also forgot my tymoon login info, should've wrote it down like all of my other accounts' passwords.
>>46590
|?irc.tymoon.eu?|
>>46591
There should be a password recovery option now when you log in.
>>46592
>When most of the tynet links are following the "xxx.tymoon.eu" format.
Yep I fell stupid now. Uhh hurr durp derp....
This was a fucking magical IRC moment
>>46599
The mad man.
I don't know when was the last time I felt this much of frustration and anger after playing a game.
Are you talking about Hollow Knight?
>>46608
Yeah. When you loose all your money and have to start over to purchase shits which is essential for you to do progress. I mean okay, death punishes you but this is just annoying. You don't just simply die and wake up in the last savepoint/(checkpoint) you used. You basically leave some black ghost of you which pretty much having all your previously collected money, and that is one reason you have to go back and defeat it. The other reason is as long as that shit floats around until you get back and kill it, you only can store less souls gathered from foes which is essential to heal yourself.
Now die again while you try to get back to it, and you basically lost all your hard collected money. Since the new soul you leave is only having the money you collected until that. Imagine having 5000 bug-money and loose all of it. All because you died at the most inconvenient spot and itself is a challenge to get back there, and then trying to kill the ghost without dying and then get the fuck out there. I only managed to get halfway and died, the only good thing came out of it, was more easier to get back and defeat the ghost and be like "fuck this place".
Until recently I found out you can open some bank account at some merchant. So that is the way to get your money safe. But again you have to first get there to deposit your money, and then get back again to withdraw if you wanna buy some shit. So again you collect the money, then you actually have to get to the Bank to put your money safe. So there's the chance you die the way to the Bank, and die again without reclaim the ghost basically render all your money collecting efforts futile. I have no idea if there are other spots where I can deposit/withdraw money.
It soon becomes a chore to watch your money and decide if you actually want to deposit it in the fear of dying to some shit several times. Thinking "well good, should I bother get pass all those risky places to get my money safe in the bank, which is at now kind of other side of the world?". So yeah I don't know when I get bored to die to shits, kill my ghost without loosing money and start the challenge again, and repeat.
Or maybe I just don't try hard enough to GIT GUD.
>>46609
Having to pick up your "money" from the corpse you left behind before you die again is straight up taken from Dark Souls.
>>46611
It's still bullshit.
>>46612
Well, I haven't played Hollow Knight, but in Dark Souls you can spend your souls (money) at any bonfire (save point). That way you can spend your souls if you're afraid of losing them permanently. Usually grinding the souls back up again isn't much of a problem either though, so I've really never seen it as an issue.
The balancing is probably quite different in Hollow Knight though, so I can't say if the same system still works out to be fair there.
>>46613
In Hollow Knight you basically have a "soul-o-meter" which you can fill by hitting enemies. Then either focus it to restore health, or use for magic, which so far in my gameplay only means shooting some projectile. The ingame money, which apparently called "Geo" is a different stuff. It's your regular gold coins dropped by enemies what you can spend on shits.
Anyway the way the game deals with health/death kinda ruined it for me. Because otherwise it's a nice game. Like really it is not enough you fight with some obnoxious boss, you practically have to fight it without any chance to restore your health. As I said you need to focus the soul the restore health, which means you need to hold the button for few seconds until the character restores one healthbar(meanwhile standing at one spot cause you can't move while doing that). But by the time your bug does it, the next attack comes with 100% chance hitting you rendering your healing efforts useless.
So yeah, most bossfights have some means to let you restore (even if just a tiny fraction) your health to some extent. Here it is almost impossible. And I don't have the mood to travel back, defeat my evil soul, and try again with the boss.
Ori and the Blind Forest was great. It had the right amount of difficulty and made be push myself further to get new abilities and reach new places. I fucked up there several times, and made me butthurt. But not to the extent where I was about to quit because don't want to invest time and effort for all the bullshits, where every tasks, every jump, every fight, the most basic enemies just become chores. And I don't feel all this bullshitting worth the effort, and whatever items or shit I get. Or just literally fighting to be able to save the fucking game, otherwise have to walk back to the other side for the area. I guess Hollow Knight is just trying to be "Hard". Basically punishing you in the most vile ways for a "metroidvanian" game.
So really, I don't know when I just gonna quit because it just doesn't worth my time and effort.
Trolling for some tight sliz tonight
I want this as a jacket.

I NEED MONEY, DIPSHIT
yesterday there was flooding... it rained the entire way to and from the training center. i found it highly ironic that i had to drive to training through flash flood conditions to watch safety videos about how my life is more important than the mail. there were two wrecks on the way home, school buses had been swept off the road...
it took 3 hours to get home. here's an action shot of my car, sitting in one spot for 10 minutes because some fuckin' semi truck was overturned up ahead
there was flooding yesterday too... and today... and there will be again tomorrow, but with added tornado threat watch...
i have to get certified tomorrow on the post office vehicle
>>46665
Good luck, don't die on me or I'll <s>never get my straight hundo back</s> be very sad
>>46666
you'll get that money back soon. this training i'm going through at the moment is 17$ an hour and if it gets here before my tax return does i'll send it using that, but if my tax return gets here first i'll send it using that...
on a sidenote, there's flooding here! i took pictures!
this is like, 15-20 miles from the house. there were whole patches of land like this, driveways covered in standing water n such. this is from the little missouri river. there's a whole bunch of flooding in the lower left corner of the state
>>46667
Nah, you can pay me back in some years / once you have a couple thousand saved up.
there was a tornado yesterday 3 hours away from my house and i was out driving in that weather... the weather's calming down a little now. at least for the part where i live at
Yeah. This year I won't be able to do anything. Not even pay for my CC or experience camping. At least I tried.

so, i spent wednesday through friday being trained on a new postal route that's got 600 mailboxes on it. the person who trained me is awesome and she told them to hold back my third class mail (junk advertisement magazines) on saturday, because i would be at my slowest since it would be my first day on my own. so, i show up n start getting everything cased n ready, and i'm ready to pull my mail down, and my supervisor comes over and he's like "whoa hey go case all those third class" and i did cuz i didn't know i was supposed to be getting all of that held back. it could have been cased after i came back from my route, though... it took me another 30 minutes, and then the woman who starts running the route regularly tomorrow (not the one who trained me) came in on her day off (since i'm the one who's running the route on saturdays) and "helped" by telling me a whole bunch of personal preference shit like "oh, you case it like that? this is how i do it" "don't put the mail in the back of the box. put it in the front of the box" "you're gonna mess up this area because there's a 105 here, here, and here and they're all close together" and then nitpicking and asking why i do things the way i do... so i ended up fucking up a part of the mail because i had someone in my ear the whole time i was trying to focus and asking me dumb shit. she lined up the parcels and she lined 'em up wrong so i ended up spending 10-15 minutes trying to find the package that i marked 2, and when i did it was for the wrong address so i thought i left it in the office or lost it. then, when i got to the next package address i realized that it was the last address and i had to backtrack it. and then at the last minute mail case (for mail that had been put on someone elses route) there was a bunch of stuff that had been previously ran out by me and my trainer that, there wasn't a mailbox there or the person had moved and left no forwarding address. and the person was like "i just wanna make sure there's not a proper mailbox there" and it's like... that person doesn't run the route. me and my trainer did, and we saw there wasn't shit there... so i had a fuckton of mail that was no good.
and then when i finally got out on my route, my supervisor called me asking how long i was gonna be, and i ended up spending another 10-15 minutes on the phone with him because he wanted to know where i was n shit. so the person who trained me had to come out n help me run the last bit of my route... and she's like "this wasn't supposed to happen"
so i was at work for 12 hrs n 2 minutes yesterday... and when i got back to the office my supervisor was like "i had heard good things about you at donaldson, what held you up today?" and it's like if people had let me do my fuckin' job how it was SET UP TO BE DONE ON THE DAY I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO IT instead of trying to be in my shit, it wouldn't have happened... i'm already trained on how to do shit at the office. i don't need someone comin' in n trying to teach me how to tie my shoes if i know how to tie my shoes, because i don't tie them THEIR way. so i spent a large portion of my day wonderin' if people were purposefully trying to fuck with me
between someone nitpickin' my actions at the case over personal preference shit, my supervisor wanting me out the door in a reasonable amount of time and then giving me a ton of shit to make sure that doesn't happen, and then someone throwing literal garbage in my last minute throwbacks that i can't do anything with, i had a shitty day
Testing to see if my account is working.

@pincerattack
you are now in a cock cult
today:
some fuckhead hit my cat with their car. my tire went flat on the route n i had to change it n get a new tire. the food truck i usually stop at on the route was gone so i couldn't get my scoop of ice cream for break time...
how was movie night?
Movie was good. But you seem to be having some shoddy luck. Give kisses to your cat for me, thanks.
>>46715
i live on a highway. hitting a cat at 55mph does not leave it alive. lily was in a grisly state when i found her.
no kitty kisses.
Oh I thought it was still alive after that. Well, throw her corpse in the fire for me then, thanks.
>>46717
buried her in the yard already. too late.
we got her about a year ago. so it was around her birthday. somebody hit her with a car for her birthday.
Quite a young cat then. What a shame.
>>46716
Wait, why is there a residental area right on top of a highway? What the fuck?
>>46720
it's not so much a residential area as it is a series of houses along the highway...
also, i've given you my address here for the last few gift exchanges around chrimbus time, and you never once saw "highway" or "hwy" and realized that i lived next to a highway? where you been, bruh?
>>46721
I'm sorry that I don't consider people stupid enough to build houses directly on a street where cars go 100kmh. In Switzerland (and I think all/most of Europe) highways are sectioned off because they're dangerous as fuck and also polluted pretty badly.
>>46722
This is completely normal in Ohio. Houses must be cheap as fuck because of the risk of some drunk drivers going 80mph into their living room.
True american dream is being visited by someone crashing into your house with a vehicle.

also this is why rca's are more likely to die delivering mail... rca's get all the highway houses n shit

yeah, but you're taking like, complex math n shit, too... i only took two bare minimum math classes
although i kinda wanna get my masters in economics, which probably does require more math
correction: history degree requires less classes in general, meaning continuing with the history degree would be less costly financially

Good bot
I took him out of the box.
I hope everyone is doing ok. I feel like I never get to talk to you guys anymore.
As for doing Ok, I guess I'm doing aight. Still got regular times when I feel like a sack of shit, but otherwise university isn't suck a stress-fest anymore, so I guess that's good. I'm also regularly writing and talking in Japanese now so that project of mine's finally going somewhere, albeit not at any high velocities. Not doing so good in terms of art though, I still feel like I'm stuck in a rut with that; I regularly get ideas for things I'd like to do, but once it actually comes to doing it, all the enthusiasm and energy is just sapped out of me almost instantly.
