Hello anongood day?are you taking it easy?
>>82367838>anon>>82367838>easy
>>82367859This is a bot by the way
>>82365117it's nice that ur at least able 2 do things that u want, anon!. Do u see ur life ever getting better?>>82365316wha's preventing u from taking it ez, mio anon?>i feel left out but also i dont feel THAT left out because someone invited me to play it before and i refused them. oh well i guessy did u refuse?>>82366005>The e-girls bought the Hobonichi cover I wanted and now it's sold out... Oh well. I got the other one I wanted. It's my fault for sleeping through the alarm I set.what kind of cover is it?>>82366005>This time they just left it at the door...did u install it without any issues?>eeee.... I am so sorry guya ! I think you took some of it back today anywayhow do u kno...?>A lot of my original character. But, I haven't finished any drawings that I like enough to share yet, so here's a me instead. Have I shared this art before ? I can't remember, but I made it when I was in the hospital.r u gonna share it at some point?
they already know they're gonna win
>>82367877>Do u see ur life ever getting better?If they can find the right meds for me, I can technically see myself in remission some day! Though I'll forever have the joint damage that I've built up so far, and whatever else I keep accumulating until then. If I could get on disability, I could find a cheap shithole to live in, all I really care for is decent internet, all my hobbies are on the PC anyway. So honestly yeah, I still have hope.I notice you don't talk much about yourself. Is that by choice or just a coincidence lately? Just asking since I'm new to these threads
>>82367877>what kind of cover is it?It was the Juni Ito one. I got the Moomin one instead. Usually I get the EarthBound cover every year, but it kind of sucked this year so I went with something else.My diary is serious business.>did u install it without any issues?I spent a really long time trying to install it using the wrong fitting, but I managed to get it installed with some effort. Taste test is fine. I'll possibly drink more water now that I'm not subconsciously trying to ration it.
>>82367935>I notice you don't talk much about yourself. Is that by choice or just a coincidence lately? Just asking since I'm new to these threadsppl rarely ask about me>So honestly yeah, I still have hope.that's nice! Hopefully it'll come true!what r u gonna do 2day?>>82367981>My diary is serious business.do u change it every year?>I got the Moomin one insteadsomeone might like it...>I spent a really long time trying to install it using the wrong fitting, but I managed to get it installed with some effort. Taste test is fine. I'll possibly drink more water now that I'm not subconsciously trying to ration it.does it taste... Drinkable?What r u gonna do 2day?
i dont understand why my grandpa keeps saying that huge clouds are actually just bioweapons. he claims he's never seen them that big in all his life...>>82362140oh it's okay anon, dont worry>>82362376thanks for the encouragement junas, i can deal with almost anything except with myself i think>>82362908>at least i got 2 eat a pidser 2day!aren't you supposed to be on a diet?>2 bocchi the rockwell they both have "rock" in the name...>>82366005>a crappy chargerare you sure it's not going to explode?>>82366072...just be enough for yourself, okay?
barely did anything at work but i didn't have much to do anyways, so it's fine. although i wish i had done everything early on the day and then read a book or draw something (it was a work from home day) instead of just getting distracted while surfing the net and only working properly near the end of the day...>>82368205>ppl rarely ask about mehow was you day guya please answer now i feel bad for rarely asking before>>82367981>My diary is serious business.do you usually write what happened on your day or do you just write the first thing that comes to mind? the few times i've maintained a journal i'd just write whatever i was thinking at the time, so i'd hardly talk about what's going on and mostly talk about my reflections or a dream that happened or someone i liked, atlhough i only did that in the iteration i had while in high school. the couple last times i tried it was just a bunch of short notes i'd be making throughout the day whenever i'd feel like it. some were like "wow this coffee is great" but many were just depressive, so i'd just stop writing because it was just sad to read my previous moody entries whenever i wrote, and it wouldn't help me to identify the cause of my feelings.>>82368564>i dont understand why my grandpa keeps saying that huge clouds are actually just bioweaponnever heard of that one lol, i was only familiar with chemtrails
>>82368205>ppl rarely ask about meDoes it bother you? Not everyone likes attention, after all. But I notice you're always asking people questions! You could maybe try yapping more, I'm sure people would listen! Don't always have to wait for people to ask, after all.>what r u gonna do 2day?I have no idea! Nothing scheduled, nothing planned. I just kinda do things at random. I'd really like to sing but I can't at the moment. Maybe soon...What about you? What's in store for today?
>>82367981>do u change it every year?Yes, they're year long diaries. Next year's will be number 5.>someone might like it...Don't joke about that!>does it taste... Drinkable?It does. It better for the price...>What r u gonna do 2day?I'll try to get ahead on the reading for the course I have. Ideally I can get the two essays written ASAP and then I'll be sorted until next year.>>82368564>are you sure it's not going to explode?More sure than the last one. That was guaranteed to explode without a step-down transformer.>>82368761>i wish i had done everything early on the day and then read a book or draw something (it was a work from home day) instead of just getting distracted while surfing the net and only working properly near the end of the day...Story of my life...>do you usually write what happened on your day or do you just write the first thing that comes to mind?A bit of both. Usually it's what I did that day, how I felt, thoughts about the future. It's written at the end of the day, rather than as I go. Sometimes there's a bit of your spoiler, too. I also try to use it as a planner because it has two different calendars but I usually fail at that...Reading my old diaries is an interesting experience, and I'm usually shocked to see just how depressed I was in a lot the entries. It's also fun reading stuff knowing what happens later, and some of the entries are still really vivid in my mind.I will happily shill Hobonichis for free to anyone interested in journaling. The fact they cost so much is a good way to make you use it so you don't feel like you've wasted your money. At least that's what worked for me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phl-JrH6j-k
>>82368761>barely did anything at work but i didn't have much to do anyways, so it's fine. although i wish i had done everything early on the day and then read a book or draw something (it was a work from home day) instead of just getting distracted while surfing the net and only working properly near the end of the day...man i wish i had a job where i could also slack off like that... heheanyway, wut r u gonna do now that ur free of work?>>82368761>how was you day guya please answer now i feel bad for rarely asking beforeit was alright! I went 4 a cycle in the town and got myself some coke! (Yum!)ty 4 asking, yuki anon!>>82368842>Does it bother you?maybe a littlebut it's okay>But I notice you're always asking people questions! i am a curious person!>You could maybe try yapping morei usually don't speak unless i am spoken 2it's a habit i am trying 2 kick>>82369387>Yes, they're year long diaries. Next year's will be number 5.5 books! Wowi wish i could yap thatt much>Don't joke about that!be careful then, lest she see it...>It does. It better for the price...how much did u pay 4 it?>I'll try to get ahead on the reading for the course I have. Ideally I can get the two essays written ASAP and then I'll be sorted until next year.will u have 2 do any teaching or overseeing any exams this semester?
>>82369672>i wish i could yap thatt muchAll of the entries are very short. I just try to write one every day.>how much did u pay 4 it?About 30 euros. Not too awful but I'm not sure how long the filters last. At least I can be sure I won't get lead poisoning while they do.>will u have 2 do any teaching or overseeing any exams this semester?No teaching but I'll be saddled with more AI research tasks, and I'll have to oversee some exams as well. Possibly help with a conference too if it's anything like last year.

>>82369672>i usually don't speak unless i am spoken 2>i wish i could yap thatt muchPerhaps you can practice yapping with your own diary!>a cycle in the townComfy... Like a pokemon adventurer.>>82370051Sounds like a nice day! Do you like cooking?
>>82367838I can it easy now, but I spent 8 hours today doing chores B'^). Got a nice, cold shower and can relax now. I'll reply to the previous thread's posts in a bit if I don't fall asleep while relaxing.
>>82370082>is everything prone to breaking easily since you basically live in china?I've not had anything break on me yet. Besides, most stuff sold everywhere is Chinese...Building-wise we have different, much stricter, building codes than the mainland with much higher penalties if something goes wrong. Every elevator needs to be inspected yearly, for instance.
>>82369387>The fact they cost so much is a good way to make you use it so you don't feel like you've wasted your money. At least that's what worked for me.thought that way when buying my new drawing tablet. now i'm glad i got it as a birthday gift instead in the end because i've barely used it :/oh yea, i was looking through my parents library and it seems they have Ulysses from James Joyce. it reminded me of you since you posted a poem of his a while ago. have you read it by any chance?>>82369672>man i wish i had a job where i could also slack off like that... heheit's just a slow season right now, it can get busier sometimes. just wish i could use these opportunities more because i have the unrealistic dream of becoming good at drawing/writing, publishing my stuff on the internet and becoming famous enough to live off patreon or something else instead of my job. that being said, i don't think i really care enough at this point, since i barely draw/write anyways and just live the normie life instead.>it was alright! I went 4 a cycle in the town and got myself some coke! (Yum!)tried arizona green tea for the first time today, it was a bit meh considering how much sugar was on the bottle... if i'm gonna drink something unhealthy, it better taste good. coke and dr. pepper are my favs, i tend to drink coke whenever i go out with my friends since i've kinda dropped alcohol.
>>82370891i should post smaller images now that i'm seeing this one lol
>>82370891>thought that way when buying my new drawing tablet. now i'm glad i got it as a birthday gift instead in the end because i've barely used it :/Fair enough. My sister barely used her diary and she felt like she wasted her money. That's probably my fault...>it reminded me of you since you posted a poem of his a while ago. have you read it by any chance?I've not but I really should. And just read more in general outside of work. I've only read that one extract from Dubliners and his letters to Nora Barnacle. Maybe don't read those...
>>82366094 >Creatives are so cool, I wish I had more originalityWe are not very cool. We are a sad and lonely bunch>>82366325 >beautiful drawing, i admire your skill. i would love to see more of your drawings!!!Mewow, thank you, anonI'll see if I have any others worth posting desu>>82368564>...just be enough for yourself, okay?It's never enough for me meow>>82369387>It's also fun reading stuff knowing what happens later, and some of the entries are still really vivid in my mind.I'm the same way. I do my best to save everything I ever write or draw, so I have something to look back on. My hospital diaries are usually the only ones consistently on paper, though.
>>82371182>We are not very cool. We are a sad and lonely bunchThose are not mutually exclusive! I admire people with ideas in their heads.
>>82347432>that would b nice though, wouldn't it?It's a nice idea but I think it goes against human nature. Even in post-scarcity civilizations you will still have scarcities, just not of the more basic necessities. People will desire art, rare collectibles and services from others. Money just dominates as a better mean of trading for these things. Beyond that post-scarcity civilizations still have to worry about people trying to monopolize resources -- they can't last for too long.>so should anyone b sterilized then in ur opinion?Yeah, rapists and pedophiles who have been convicted with no reasonable doubt as to their guilt. Also people who are dysgenic but are well above replacement fertility. The better option for them is to just have condoms and abortions paid for, but that won't always work.>we should play eu4 sometime 2Yeah, we gotta get a good time set up for it all. And then force people in the thread to play a gun point >B^)>that's so cute! How old is he?Getting to about 8 years now, iirc. I feel old.>might b interesting 2 check out, especially since eu5 is gonna b similar 2 vic in some waysHope you enjoy his stuff o7.>>82347680>I really didn't enjoy school until I got to university and I was more free to go at my own pace. But I think it's a necessary evil so you know how to be around people you really don't get along with.That does sound nicer, although for me I learned most of how to get along with others outside of school. It was nicer that way too, in school I kept trying to make friends and be more normal and kept failing or getting exploited.>>82347925>What isn't cute for you...Roaches, I hate 'em with a passion. They make my skin crawl :(>>82348950Of course! Sea slugs are all great to see and often cute. Have a weird sea slug from Asia, the "Blue Dragon">>82350580You know, 99% of gamblers... B^)
>>82370869>most stuff sold everywhere is Chinesei mean... i try to delude myself into thinking some products that i buy are not made in awful conditions.>much stricter, building codesthat's a nice improvement. at least you can be sure you won't get stuck in an elevator like in those videos you see sometimes. (they are genuinely one of the reasons why i avoid elevators)>>82371182>It's never enough for methen why, why don't you let others show you that you are?>>82371630hello animal anon! hi. hello! i dont know what else to say other than hello. are you okay? are your chickens okay? did i ever do something to upset you? you can ignore the last question, im just feeling a little weird at the moment. have you eaten anything very weird in the past months?
>>82371734Hello, hello. I'm okay, chickens are fine but the youngest one was really anxious this morning. She got to graze and calm down before I got to die in the sun :').>did i ever do something to upset you?I don't think anyone in these threads has really done anything to upset me. I'm pretty hard to upset usually.>have you eaten anything very weird in the past months?I had cold cocoa :) It scratched my throat up a lot because I just added a tiny bit of water to hot cocoa mix and stirred it up a lot so it was still grainy.How're you doin' though? Also did you eat anything weird recently?
>>82371793cute possum!i missed your wholesome webms dearly anon i really did. have a flower i saw today! i think i posted this specific flower before, but this picture came out way better than the usual ones so im posting it anywy>was really anxiouswhat could ever make a chicken anxious?! oh, everything probably!>I'm pretty hard to upset usuallyoh that's good. sometimes i just get paranoid and i have to ask otherwise i keep thinking about it over and over. yes i am stupid.>I had cold cocoa...you mean like, liquid or solid? i think solid cold cocoa might qualify as chocolate though hmm.>spoileroh, i see! personally i never drink hot cocoa. im a solid version fan.>How're you doin' though?another day in paradise>Also did you eat anything weird recently?hmmmm a month ago when i worked at a restaurant the head chef made me try a new dish for their menu, and it was some kind of maccheronii with a weird green sauce in them and some kind of fish parts. i have no idea. im sorry i cannot remember but it looked very weird. was pretty good though.
I wish it was all over. I wish i had a gun.
>>82371182>My hospital diaries are usually the only ones consistently on paper, though.Have you ever thought about getting a paper diary? It's nice to go analogue every once in a while.>>82371630>in school I kept trying to make friends and be more normal and kept failing or getting exploited.But you now know better than to do that now, and I suspect you might not have but for good old state education.>>82371734>i try to delude myself into thinking some products that i buy are not made in awful conditions.It beats subsistence farming which is the alternative for a lot of factory workers in China, which is objectively worse, so you can be glad they aren't doing that.

It's a nice photogenic shot too, like something I'd expect to see as an album cover or on a photographer's blog. Although I imagine in the latter case they'd purposefully remove any of the withered flowers.>what could ever make a chicken anxious?! oh, everything probably!The poor thing... Her friend was in the coop laying an egg and she was afraid because she was alone :pensive:.>oh that's good. sometimes i just get paranoid and i have to ask otherwise i keep thinking about it over and over. yes i am stupid.It's okay, I understand it. I usually just assume people get bored listening to me or annoyed. Most people don't want to hear my autistic ramblings or rants :'(>...you mean like, liquid or solid? i think solid cold cocoa might qualify as chocolate though hmm.It was liquid but like drinking sandy water that tasted like chocolate :). Did I ever mention that I have quite a bit of drain bamage?>oh, i see! personally i never drink hot cocoa. im a solid version fan.I became more of a fan of it recently, but it's a dangerous game. I burn my tongue a lot, thus why I tried to craft the perfect cold cocoa. I did not succeed however, because then I just hurt my throat.>another day in paradiseB^) hell yeah Summer is finally coming to an end, soon I'll be free from the heat too.>it was some kind of maccheronii with a weird green sauce in them and some kind of fish parts. i have no idea. im sorry i cannot remember but it looked very weird. was pretty good though.Green sauce and fish parts? Did this man live under a bridge and ask you to pay a toll at any point? I could honestly go for some fish right about now though, but I've never heard about any kind of green sauce. Speaking of fish and sauces though, I would like to try Garum sometime
>>82372164>But you now know better than to do that now, and I suspect you might not have but for good old state education.I'unno, some homeless guy came up to me at a Doctor's visit once and managed to get me to give him like 5$ after he lamented about how no one would even look at him. He immediately got up and left, although he did say thanks. I feel like I'm still a mark.>>82372195>what sort of chores have u done?Dogs, lawns mowed and fish care. I went to the store a few days ago with her to get her some stuff for her aquarium, a nerite snail and two hillstream loaches, pic related is what those look like. One of them died though, had blood at its mouth. I think the guy who fished them out may have badly injured it and it just died last night. Its a bit too late to try and ask for a refund though and it's too easy for them to claim it wasn't them since they died after a day in our care. How about you though, do anything neat today?>>82372242>do u think we'll ever have a post scarcity society?Maybe. It'd be for a brief period after industrializing the Moon if we don't let any corporations monopolize it. Space habitats would become pretty cost effective and you could massive expand how much food and other products could be made in such a short amount of time. I could only see that lasting for a long time if the population was allowed to shrink, but even then you might get a Boomer-like generation that just hoards wealth from the younger generations.>how about this weekend?Sure, I should be free then. My sleep schedule is normie-like now too, although I'm heading to bed after this post.>i did play with hutanon 4 a bit. I didn't explain things very well, but we did manage 2 conquer bohemia 2gether!ez pz, hopefully I can help out too for a group session.>I think he still has some years left in him! Our dogs lived 4 like 15 years!Yeah, although I feel old since it doesn't feel that long ago when I got him :'^)It's been a while for ISP too
Trying to take it easy in my current state.
>>82372164>subsistence farmingmeh, i wouldnt mind doing that compared to working in a factory for the rest of my life...>>82372282>There's more where that came from B^)funny and cute animal gifs are never enough>Now that's prettyit really is! i think the sun was simply perfectly placed this time. if only the floating tao was real too.>they'd purposefully remove any of the withered flowersbut that's cheating! and it's so lame. death is part of life, it's what makes pretty flowers worth admiring! it's what makes life more special. death is beautiful indeed! it's not something to be hid away>she was afraid because she was aloneaw poor chicken was lonely. she just like me fr. i would be so happy if i had some chickens to take care of honestly. did any chicks pop out of the eggs in these months?>Most people don't want to hear my autistic ramblingsmost people have no idea what they're missing out on!! i'll listen to them happily. if you listen to mine!>like drinking sandy wateroh that does sound gross... and yes. i think you have actually! i have done it many many times myself.>I burn my tongue a lotyou just gotta blow on it for a while duh. i get it it's hard to resist a mug of hot choco in front of you but, if you burn your tongue then you can't taste it anymore!>hell yeahhell indeed! AAAAAAAAAAat least it's not that hot anymore.>and ask you to pay a toll at any point?heh, no but i'm sure ill meet that guy too eventually. my guy was just a really odd person that likes mixing up things. he makes surprisingly good combinations! i can never remember the ingredients though because there's so many.>green sauceif i recall correctly, i think it was something made with peas.>Garumi think you're a few millenia too late for that one anone. you could try to make it though! >>82372389i assume the current state isn't so good anon. but give it your best!
>>82373001I'm trying to manage things but I've been feeling groggy the whole day and since the last visit to the doctor I now have to take 6 new medications. Sure, it's temporary but still, I can feel the side effects hitting already.
>>82371210>I admire people with ideas in their heads.I do happen to have lots of ideas in my head>>82371630>Have a weird sea slug from Asia, the "Blue Dragon"Adorable. It looks like it just has a big mustache !>>82371734>then why, why don't you let others show you that you are?I do let others say how they feel. That that will change how I feel about myself... well there's nothing to be done about that. >>82372164>Have you ever thought about getting a paper diary? It's nice to go analogue every once in a while.I have. But they always tend to get all twisted up in the end. Heavy words weigh down the pages. It's nice to be able to type things out, I suppose; the gravity of it all feels so much less overwhelming. Plus, it makes editing my mistakes easier !
>>82373802>I do let others say how they feelyet when I did i got hit by nothing but a barrage of apologies, and it makes me think you didn't believe a word i said. you can never change how you see yourself if every fiber of your being rejects the idea that you can be any different from what you perceive yourself as of right now. but you are different, you just need to believe in it. oh but it's fine, im the very same if not worse.
>>82374261because I am sorry... I justI don't know, what you want me to say
I've been thinking that I should work on learning how to socialize again. Maybe I will start by talking to you guys.>>82371182>I'll see if I have any others worth posting desuYesssss show more cool art anon!
>>82372195>4 propper adventures i would need a new bike tbhdesu>need 2 get a propper bookThese sound like some goals! Though maybe don't try going on pokemon adventures, I don't think they're real...Have you been up to anything cool since your last post?>>82373802>I do happen to have lots of ideas in my headThe more ideas a person has, the cooler they are to me! Since I have like no originality, it's always really fascinating to hear what people come up with. Even if it's not to my taste, I love when people talk about their creations and endeavors. I'm a yap enabler in general, though.>>82375057Hi!!!How's it going?
>>82375116Hello anon. Things are not going well mentally. Some days I feel fine and other days I feel anxious and frustrated at myself. Things are starting to lose meaning and my life feels confusing. But otherwise I'm chugging along. How about you? And also, are you Reimunon or someone else?>The more ideas a person has, the cooler they are to me! Since I have like no originality, it's always really fascinating to hear what people come up with. Even if it's not to my taste, I love when people talk about their creations and endeavors. I'm a yap enabler in general, though.I feel the same way! I love creatives. I wish I was one myself.
>>82375196>not going wellYeah, I just saw your blogpost, I'm sorry to hear. I think trying to stick around these threads might be a good idea, everyone seems pretty comfy and relaxed! But I'm pretty new, actually, on the topic. I got called yukkurianon once because I keep posting yukkuris, but I've only seen these threads for the first time about a week ago. I also post with picrel elsewhere on the board, but I feel like using her doesn't fit these threads. Plus, posting her brings out my inner funposter from 2015, and I want to be more respectful to these nice threads>I wish I was one myselfWhat's the closest thing you have to being creative? I feel like everyone could benefit from having some kind of outlet, even if that's building towns in creative Minecraft.
>>82375248>picrelI think it fits! She seems lighthearted.>2015New to the thread, but old to the 4bread... oldfag :)>>82375248>What's the closest thing you have to being creative?I used to draw, but quit. I've tried to write fiction but always gave up after one page or so. I play the piano, but I'm not really that good at it. I kind of want to get into crafts, lIke crocheting or something. I wrote some poems on this board when I was sad last year. You might be able to find them in the archives. I think some of them were actually pretty good. How about you? In what ways are you creative?
>>82375327>I think it fits!The problem is I only have screenshots, everyone else is always using fan art booru pictures!>I used to draw, but quit...Well it sounds like you haven't shied away from giving things a go, which is good. Crocheting and other crafts like that seem really fun and cute, plus you get a little dude/dudette/thing out of it! Which you can take pictures of and show everyone!>In what ways are you creative?I'm a music dork. Singing, DJing, finger drumming, and maybe one day I'll finally learn how to produce my own stuff... One day...But I kinda differentiate between my kinda stuff and coming up with original ideas, characters, music, stories, etc. Really all I ever do is work with other people's work and/or copy them. I don't write my own songs, produce my own songs (yet...), you know? I don't spawn anything, I guess is what makes it different to me.
>>82375057>Yesssss show more cool art anon!Alright ! I just finished this today. I did some other drawings of my OC but... I'm a little nervous to share those. So enjoy a koishi instead ! You might notice I never have much of a consistent style.. but I enjoy drawing hair + ruffles a whole lot !>>82375116>The more ideas a person has, the cooler they are to me!Then to you... I must be ultramega cool ! Because I have a lot of ideas. And, it's alright anon ! I am a yapper as well. Although less so nowadays, I fear.
>>82375327>I wrote some poems on this board when I was sad last year. You might be able to find them in the archivesi still look back at the long /ourgirl/ poem someone wrote in one of your threads every now and again. i still think it's beautiful
>>82375430>The problem is I only have screenshots, everyone else is always using fan art booru pictures!Doesn't matter as long as we can recognize you!>Crocheting and other craftsThe plan is to be able to generate gifts for people on command. I think it would be awesome to give out handmade gifts with cards handwritten in pretty cursive. (If only I was good at cursive...)>Really all I ever do is work with other people's work and/or copy them.I do that too, but there's nothing wrong with that. You have to get inspiration from other people to make good music, stories, etc. Great artists steal from other artists. I've tried writing my own songs but they all suck and I'm too lazy to learn how to write sheet music in order to be able to play the piano while I sing. In fact, I could probably just learn basic comping but yeah too lazy. Gotta learn how to read chord notations and stuff... Same thing with writing, too lazy but I have story ideas and OCs in my head.>>82375860Beautiful art!I drew a Koishi many years ago, but it was not nearly as nice as yours.This is random, but are you French?>yapperHonestly I should join the chats in these threads more to see interesting anon yaps. I wish I followed these threads more. I missed a lot of lore and I didn't really get to know anyone beyond a surface level. I mean, I guess I've always been busy dealing with other things on this board, so this thread hasn't really been my priority, but now that the board seems rather dead I'll hang out here with the rest of you avatarfags. :)>>82375972Gosh, I should give that a read.
2day i shall start my first day in college!>>82372359>Dogs, lawns mowed and fish care. I went to the store a few days ago with her to get her some stuff for her aquarium, a nerite snail and two hillstream loaches, pic related is what those look like. One of them died though, had blood at its mouth. I think the guy who fished them out may have badly injured it and it just died last night. Its a bit too late to try and ask for a refund though and it's too easy for them to claim it wasn't them since they died after a day in our care. How about you though, do anything neat today?oh just went cycling! and bought me sum drinks>Maybe. It'd be for a brief period after industrializing the Moon if we don't let any corporations monopolize it. Space habitats would become pretty cost effective and you could massive expand how much food and other products could be made in such a short amount of time. I could only see that lasting for a long time if the population was allowed to shrink, but even then you might get a Boomer-like generation that just hoards wealth from the younger generations.man i wish we could live like that forever... I would totally live for myself and the betterment of mankind... if everyone else lived like this as well...>Sure, I should be free then. My sleep schedule is normie-like now too, although I'm heading to bed after this post.okiegn!>ez pz, hopefully I can help out too for a group session.Yes. I shall need ur help greatly!>Yeah, although I feel old since it doesn't feel that long ago when I got him :'^)yeah it always feels like that...>It's been a while for ISP tooso you've seen him as well?>>82372389how's it going?>>82375116>Have you been up to anything cool since your last post?ehh, not reallyi've jiust been taking it easy and sleeping2day i shall start my second year in college though!>>82375057>. Maybe I will start by talking to you guys.sure, i'd b happi if u sticked around, mio anon! U seem nice!
I'm glad to see the threads so active again, even if I struggle to follow them now.>if that's okay, could u gib an example?Alright. Most of them are pretty boring.March 14,Slightly exciting day. Ventured out to the GCA to buy a battery bank. I arruved too late and everywhere was closed. Ordered it from HKTVmall.Went on the Star Ferry. Pretty nice views and it was only $4. A good tourist trap, I think. I think the view from the peak is probably better.TL note: $4 is about 0.44 euros. I think it's only $1 if you pay with an Amex card.>u should probably find that out...It's either 3 months or X amount of water passing through it. Maybe both?>what sort of help will u need 2 do?Read a bunch of AI papers I don't care about.>>82372359>I feel like I'm still a mark.Maybe. You did a good deed though, so don't feel too bad.>>82373001>meh, i wouldnt mind doing that compared to working in a factory for the rest of my life...Somehow I knew you'd say that... You might mind if your crops fail and you starve to death.>>82373802>the gravity of it all feels so much less overwhelming>Plus, it makes editing my mistakes easier !Fair enough. Even though I mostly write trite I still give it a lot of thought before putting it down on the page. There's still a bunch of speeling mitsakes and crossed Ls.>>82375248>Plus, posting her brings out my inner funposter from 2015, and I want to be more respectful to these nice threadsBandage? You're making me feel very old if that's you.>>82376724Good luck today!

You won't.Also I love koishi's smudgy eyes>>82376284>generate gifts for people on commandYesss, it will be so cute and sweet. Considering all the other attempts at doing creative things, maybe that satisfaction of gift giving will make you stick with it!>I have story ideas and OCs in my headI don't even have those! It's empty up in there for real>>82376724>2day i shall start my second year in college though!Don't fall asleep in class! You seem like a very sleepy type.Good luck, I hope all your profs are good.>>82376756>You're making me feel very oldYou're not just feeling very old... you must be very old if you remember me!
>>82376844>you must be very old if you remember me!The younglings here bully me enough already. Don't give them more reasons to.I'm glad you're still knocking about, either way.
>>82376893It's okay, it means you have one more old person on your side now!
it's been storming all night and i couldn't sleep at all. thunderstorms kinda make me feel uneasy. and i had other stuff on my mind that wouldn't let me sleep anyways. only a week left before im back to school too...>>82373581>I now have to take 6 new medicationsoh jeez what happened? are they for your brain or other stuff?>>82374550but i've told you that you don't need to be, there's no reason to. i don't what makes you think i'd feel better if you just kept saying you're sorry. i just wish you'd believe me.>what you want me to saywhat do you want to say? other than "im sorry" that is.>>82375057that's a good idea, theres sooo many social butterflies in this thread as you can probably tell...>>82375248hmm did you manage to get that stain off your face after all?>>82376724good luck at college, guya! remember to follow all the great advice i gave you. or don't, im awful at giving advice anyway.>>82376756>You might mind if your crops fail and you starve to deathif that happens, i have no one to blame but natural selection itself. i will die with my crops and chickens happily
>>82376990>did you manage to get that stain off your face after all?Don't remind me of my comedic failures...
I can't stand when people make assumptions thinking they can easily put themselves in the shoes of others and know it all. All you're doing is projecting your own issues with your fake empathy.>>82374261>im the very same if not worseNo you aren't, a lot of his posts suggest that he's got way worse shit to deal with than you do
>>82376756>exampleis that how most of ur entries go?they r pretty readable!>It's either 3 months or X amount of water passing through it.

>>82377317What's the matter? Don't like it when it happens to you, uh?It was no assumption though, anyone who's paid an ounce of attention to these threads knows what I'm talking about, so don't try to put yourself on the same level. All this "believe in me" bullshit simply doesn't work when you live in a completely different world.

>>82377454no, i just think you're being a hypocrite. considering you also said "let's just take it easy" yesterday, and now you're trying to argue.>It was no assumption thoughit is. you're assuming i don't know what they go through, and you're assuming i haven't been through the same, despite your only source of information being this thread (and my own). i wouldn't say the things that i say if i wasn't sure that I at the very minimum understand *something* about the other person, because i know how annoying it is when someone who clearly doesn't understand pretends that they do! and i know i do understand because they've told me so.>knows what I'm talking aboutplease enlighten us>>82377574>cybersecurityare you going to be a hacker of some kind? do you actually like doing any of this stuff?good luck with the classes anyways!>i'd join, but i have a long day 2day...oh it's okay, the evil bugs are not going anywhere anytime soon (sadly)
BPD on BPD violence...
>>82377454>>82377607*hugs you both*Take it easy, bakatachi
>>82377607>you're assuming i haven't been through the sameI don't recall you ever wishing that you had a functional body. You don't go through physical pain, only psychological, and that isn't the same at all. And I'm not trying to make light of your problems, I'm just saying that you shouldn't put yourself on the same level as someone who deals with health issues.If I hadn't used the word "assumption" you'd have probably tried to steer this conversation in a completely different way. Hopefully you get the point my retarded ass is trying to make, it isn't about assumptions, it's about intruding in other people's problems and thinking you can make a difference.Anyway I'm done sneeding about it
Feels good to be a neet for once. Although the 1st of September shilling gets on my nerves (words of someone who was bullied in school).Also, Animalnon?>>82376724Hay, Kaguyanon. 50/50, I have to take meds again (spend the whole evening yesterday sorting pills) and follow gastritis-friendly diet but also spending time with my parents and free food. The weather could be better though.>>82376990Nah, they're all for stomach issues. Turns out I got contaiminated with some bacteria that can cause stomach cancer and also gastritis got worse so now I need medical therapy. Also I have a fatty liver (due to overweightness) so I also need to lose weight if I want to keep my liver going. Last week was kind of a rollercoaster but it's a new day and I'm ready to take this issue seriously. Might post a photo of all the meds I need to take daily later today (for giggles).But enough negativity, I've been really into Uma Musume recently, hard to focus on two things at once.. But silly horses keep me going still.
>>82377722>I'm just saying that you shouldn't put yourself on the same level as someone who deals with health issuesyes, i agree. i understand why you took it personally now considering you also do, and i am well aware that i cannot understand how it feels to have your body collapse on you, and how awful dealing with constant physical pain must be. i have never experienced it. but those kind of problems are not what I and yuyu were talking about. we both deal with very similar stuff in our heads and thats why im saying i understand them, i know they also understand me too. you couldn't have known that though so it's fine.>it's about intruding in other people's problemyes, i do get your point anon, it's not what i was doing, and i know it's really annoying when others do that. i'm glad you gave me the opportunity to explain also.>>82377885what are you gonna spend your neet time doing anon?>so now I need medical therapyoh that's awful. hope everything goes well for you randal. are you following some special diets too? sure must be a pain to remember when and how much to take of each medication...>silly horses keep me going stilthey are very funny indeed! i am quite fond of them aswell. haru urara brings me great joy simply by existing

>>82370276>>82372195Thank you both for the compliments. Yes, I love cooking. Today I made a vegetable wrap with some baba ganoush I made. Today I'm going to make a huge batch of pesto and freeze it, as well as a big bag of chopped peppers and onions for fajitas. Tonight I'm going to make sweet and sour chicken with onions, peppers, zucchini and white rice
>>82378014>what are you gonna spend your neet time doing anon?Dieting and taking it easy, probably.>are you following some special diets too?Yeah, there's a standartized diet that's gastritis-friendly so I'm following that. At least I can still eat something flavourful. >sure must be a pain to remember when and how much to take of each medication...Nah, I already sorted it all out. It's good to have a second pill holder in the house. All that's needed is to remember what goes when.Personally I've aquired a new found likeness for Agnes Tachyon as well. She's literally Goro Akechi down to looks.>>82378636>What about him?About him? Nothing, just noticed he's paying us a visit hehe.>pizzerI'd love a pizzer too now.. Or anything that isn't low calorie..
Hello, newfren hereIs this the thread where I get to meet honest people who want to build genuine friendships free of toxic positivity and unnecessary platitudes?
>>82378428okay... i never said i'd stop being your friend. which song did you sing? i'd love to listen! recently i learned some parts of exit music for a film by radiohead>>82378636>I'll hax u!you will find nothing but a gazillion pictures of tao and flowers in my pc.>Eh i wish i were doing chemistry desu...you'll get there eventually...>I lob bugbreach!!!you will not love the new ones. they never end. there's so many bugs your literal sound card will break. somehow arrowhead managed to break the game even more. still, when it works properly is pretty fun. there's a huuuuge dragon bug too>>82378795>Dieting and taking it easyguess i shouldve expected that to be the case...>a standartized dietwhat is it composed of? are you unable to eat a lot of foods?>Nah, I already sorted it all out.oh okay, i know i'd get really confused. do pills usually taste like anything?>Agnes Tachyonshe is my favourite horse! i do like all the shenanigans with experiments and such. plus oversized coat lab = cute.>>82379025hey buddy i think you got the wrong thread, the fren's club is two blocks down
>>82367838I want to play Touhou but what game should I start with?
>>82379382Start with the classics: Perfect Cherry Blossom or Imperishable Night, both are great and have systems that are forgiving to beginners
>>82379382I'd say 6 but 7 and 8 are a quite a bit easier
>>82379143>wrong threadZannen... I'll be on my way then, to find the real deal and not some bakas who just wanna play pretend frens>>82379382Start by playing crossdressing, it's the most loved game by the fans. After that I'd recommend going in order from 6 to 20

Open Season is so good fr, you guys need to relook your views on Sony Animation.>>82379143>what is it composed of? are you unable to eat a lot of foods?It's mostly low calorie stuff that won't upset my stomach.>do pills usually taste like anything?No, but I was warned that one of them will give me a bitter taste in my mouth and one of them will give me diarhea. But at least I don't have to chew them or anything.>>82380522Hmmm, no, too hearty for my diet unfortunately.
Mr. President, the second hillstream loach has died. Using my little water tester it may have been not salty enough for them, if the 0.04% salinity reading is right. It's odd that that'd do them in though and the nerite snail would be absolutely fine.>>82372389You could be taking it easy if you watched Knights of Sidonia B^). This is a threat.>>82373001>funny and cute animal gifs are never enoughEvery little bit helps though. >>>/wsg/5964148>it really is! i think the sun was simply perfectly placed this time. if only the floating tao was real too.One day virtual realities will be a possibility and you can live with an AI Hu Tao. Birth rates will plummet even more. Got to the flowers when they were all blooming too, so the right time of year as well.>but that's cheating! and it's so lame. death is part of life, it's what makes pretty flowers worth admiring! it's what makes life more special. death is beautiful indeed! it's not something to be hid awayI agree fully, although I may be a bit biased since I think some very horrific and morbid things are also beautiful. Just capturing nature in its proper state is far better though, no need to try and apply makeup to it.>aw poor chicken was lonely. she just like me fr. i would be so happy if i had some chickens to take care of honestly.Now I kind of wonder how feasible a chicken as a proper house pet is. I wonder if they can be litter trained. If you can get that done then a house hen would be pretty nice, they can get really friendly with people. Pigeons would probably be a better option though and they come in many varieties. Behold! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWfUr8eurgs> did any chicks pop out of the eggs in these months?Nah, gotta get a noisy ol' rooster for any of that.

Not really sure where all the time went today, but I got some work done, so it's not been a complete failure.>>82377213>is that how most of ur entries go?More or less. They're very succinct, but they have to be on A6 pages. I'm not one for flowery prose.>30 euro every 3 months sounds quite a lot, though, maybe it isn't...I have no idea if it's worth it or not. It's definitely more convenient than buying a bunch of big water bottles. Plus you can't put a price on not getting poisoned. Well, you can - it's 30 euros.>moar ai...My excitement is palpable...>2day's gonna b a long day...At least you can take it easy once it's over.>>82378428>I write too fast for my own good I think.If you've got a lot of ideas in your head I can see why you'd just want to get them on the page as fast as possible. What makes you see it as a downside?When I'm writing for work I usually write very slowly, and re-write the same sentence a bunch of times until it feels right. The upside is that I can usually submit the first draft, and after that it's just whatever edits I get asked to do. The downside is that it takes an eternity to do anything.>>82380542>you guys need to relook your views on Sony Animation.I enjoyed Spiderverse. It's sad that the studio get burdened with making stuff like The Emoji Movie.>>82379790>I'll be on my way thenNot until I've read your treatise on Death Stranding.>>82380774>Mr. President, the second hillstream loach has died.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03qBqP2I4p8

It is what it is.>oh that does sound gross... and yes. i think you have actually! i have done it many many times myself.It's weird because I could enjoy the texture and stuff, just with my throat getting sore afterwards. I do prefer the hot stuff though, with some nice cream added. It's just chocolate milk at that point though.Also I'm too impatient for my own good... I can only blow so much before I must sip again :pensive:.>at least it's not that hot anymore.There's actually a cool breeze today and yesterday while I was burning alive there wasn't :'), Fall is my favorite time of the year and it feels so close now.>he makes surprisingly good combinations! i can never remember the ingredients though because there's so many.One day he's gonna make a legendary dish, his magnum opus. It'll be green and no one will be able to remember all of the ingredients B^).>if i recall correctly, i think it was something made with peas.That makes sense, it'd probably be a hit with the vegans(if you remove all of the fish and pasta and replace it with garbage). Although I imagine it might actually have cream or something in it, just from guessing, so maybe not. Vegans are missing out though.>i think you're a few millenia too late for that one anone. you could try to make it though!B^) my neighborhood will stink for millennia if I do that. I would like to try to do that sometime though, but I think I'd have to make a sealed enclosure with a good filtration system to de-odorize it. I wonder if a heated car muffler might work on deodorizing it now...>>82373802>Adorable. It looks like it just has a big mustache !He can't be adorable, he's a dragon! A wise, mighty dragon of the sea. That's why he's got such a nice mustache B^).

Thinking about it, I imagine there must be some cool kinds of sodas that you guys have.>man i wish we could live like that forever... I would totally live for myself and the betterment of mankind... if everyone else lived like this as well...Sadly many people are far too selfish to allow for that to all work out.

We're now even older than we were when we made those posts.>so you've seen him as well?Yeah, although I am a bit skewed on him since I've interacted with him ages ago and his behavior put me off.>>82376756>Maybe. You did a good deed though, so don't feel too bad.Yeah, I should still try to keep vigilante at least. Won't always end well, and all. How've you been also?>>82380870>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03qBqP2I4p8o7 gone but not forgotten the assassin snails appreciate their very expensive meals now too, so that's a morbid positive. They've longed for the flesh of fish since they were assassinating guppies in the middle of the night.
>>82367838Pretty bad, But it could be worse.Problems on work, a lot of stress about a future and moving to another country, other problems. I've been drinking too often lately, it starts to bother me, but it's unbearable to be sober, although I didn't drink at all before and liked to be sober
>>82380945>Yeah, I should still try to keep vigilante at least. Won't always end well, and all. That's true. Still, assuming good faith seems like a good way to get into heaven. I know there's a thing in Asia where people dressed as monks try to solicit donations from you and I saw one at the botanical gardens here so steered clear. If I didn't know any better I might have been duped.>How've you been also?I feel very content right now. I've been in HK for a year now and I've more or less gotten used to it, or my version of living here, at least. Maybe the secret to happiness was just getting very far away from my old life (in a literal sense), abandoning any hope of fitting in, doing everything on my own terms, and generally living my simple life like a recluse. Snufkinmaxxing, so to speak.How are you faring?>the assassin snails appreciate their very expensive meals now too, so that's a morbid positiveAt least someone's happy.>>82381012>I've been drinking too often lately, it starts to bother me, but it's unbearable to be sober, although I didn't drink at all before and liked to be soberBest of luck with kicking the habit if you want to go down that path.
>>82381012Forgot this>a lot of stress about a future and moving to another country, other problems.If you want to talk about moving countries with someone I'm happy to do that. I moved a year ago.
>>82381406I've never even moved to a different place in my own town. Now there is a need to change country. I am very scared and pressured by responsibility, I don't know which country to choose. I can choose any of many countries including Europe (All, not only EU), Japan, I guess some other countries. At the moment, of course, I already work for a German company remotely as a junior software developer, but the salary is unstable because I am part time and now they don't want to give me fulltime, on an income of 1000 euros to live in Germany will be difficult. The worst thing, of course, is that I am alone, the language barrier and the fact that I can not work long, after 4-5 hours of work my energy drops to zero. In general, the situation is disturbing
>>82381369wew, those dastardly monks. I remember I heard about a more scandalous thing happening recently involving monks too. It was crime related iirc. I'm doin' alright myself, just busy. Had more ideas too, but I need to research them all more. Being a recluse is also nice, I can agree.>At least someone's happy.Assassins love death B^).
>>82381562I see.I moved to Hong Kong about a year ago without knowing any Cantonese (and I still don't, honestly). It was a big step and the first few weeks were really difficult and I felt completely out of my depthy but once you figure out how to feed yourself a lot of the pain goes away, especially if you can work from home and go at your own pace. I like it a lot here but the rent is very high so you'd be better off in somewhere like rural Japan.>The worst thing, of course, is that I am alone, the language barrier and the fact that I can not work long, after 4-5 hours of work my energy drops to zero. In general, the situation is disturbingIt's good to learn the local language, but it may not be necessary if English is widely-ish spoken like it is where I am. But if you want to make friends with locals you should probably make the effort. I can't really give any advice for the loneliness though, I haven't made any friends here and almost all of my interactions with others are over the internet now...Don't worry about not being able to work that long. Few people are productive for the entire work day (I think full time employees actually only work for like 3 hours a day or something).I think the opportunity is worth doing, especially if you're not that happy with your life where you are now. I'm definitely much happier here than I was in my old city.>>82381666>I remember I heard about a more scandalous thing happening recently involving monks too. It was crime related iirc.Be wary of the pious...>Had more ideas too, but I need to research them all more.What were you thinking of looking at? Don't go hiding away from us for too long while you do it next time...
>>82381794It's all a scam! Jokes aside though, I'm more worried about getting close to people who're up to no good with me in the future.>What were you thinking of looking at?Some magnet stuff amongst other things. I had more ideas about a design I told you about before, but it'll be a bit difficult for me to make anytime soon. It's an improvement on the idea I had that I think is the key to making it work wonderfully.>Don't go hiding away from us for too long while you do it next time...Don't worry, I'm not disappearing anytime soon B^). Probably. Most likely.
>>82381794>I haven't made any friends here and almost all of my interactions with others are over the internet nowI understand. I didn't have many friends in my home country either, I haven't been very social for the last year, but I still meet sometimes. When I move there will be no one to turn to, except for a couple of acquaintances in Norway and Switzerland, which I can't afford with my salary. And when you arrived you already had a job and everything? How did you deal with bureaucracy and stuff, hiring translators?>I think the opportunity is worth doing, especially if you're not that happy with your life where you are now. I'm definitely much happier here than I was in my old city.I've been planning to move for a long time, but I was planning to do it around 2027 when I save up money, but now the conditions force me to go with almost nothing as there is a high probability that I won't live till 2027. On the plus side, I'm white so I'm not likely to face racism.

i'm really tired but i felt like posting regardless. i was productive enough at work and i organized my time better so i was able to read a bit in company time >:)>>82371129>Fair enough. My sister barely used her diary and she felt like she wasted her money. That's probably my fault...it's okay eiki, she's old enough to make her own financial decisions so it's not your fault>I've not but I really should. And just read more in general outside of work. I've only read that one extract from Dubliners and his letters to Nora Barnacle. Maybe don't read those...i've read a bit of one letter and it seemed funny to me lol. it's interesting to see how people would communicate with those back in the day, when phones weren't widely used, so you'd have to write long letters fairly frequently tailing everything, as they were the only method of communication (i guess the telegraph also existed, but it wasn't used for things like that). i've sent postcards and stuff when i was a kid, but it's nothing like that.to be honest, even though collecting the letters that are sent to you and having to really thing about what you wanna write sounds romantic, i think i prefer how we are now, since we can choose how we wanna communicate and we can opt for more asynchronous communication channels if we so wish>>82372195>u could always do both and earn even moar moneys!defo possible but i think i'd have to pay a bunch of taxes, so i'd have to make sure i'm earning enough to compensate.>what was the arizona green tea like? How does it compare 2 normal gween tea?haven't drank green tea in a while, but after drinking a bit of the arizona i decided i prefered to brew some black tea instead, so i didn't finish the arizona. it's just too sugary and barely tastes like tea.>>82380522>I made pasta bolognese 2day!looks good!(1/2)
>>82382207(2/2)>>82381562may we know where are you from? and which languages do you know other than english? i think knowing that would help at making recommendations. for example, i think the average person from southern eu wouldnt like Japan, as people are less sociable over there. that being said, this is 4chan, so you prolly aren't like the average.it would also help to know what kind of job do you want over there. if you think you can get a remote work, you could do as eiki said and move to a more rural area, if you wanna meet with fellow expats or just young people in general, you should go to a capital city.eiki also made a good point and it's that there are many countries and cities in which you can get by with just english (Netherlands would also be another good example!). you'll have to learn the local language if you wanna interact with locals optimally, but you can generally still interact with other expats in english.
>>82381899>I'm more worried about getting close to people who're up to no good with me in the futureThat's a perfectly rational concern. It's why I keep most people at arm's length...>Don't worry, I'm not disappearing anytime soon B^). Probably. Most likely.Good, good. The threads aren't the same without you.Best of luck with your project.>>82381951>When I move there will be no one to turn toThat was the case for me here. If you're the kind of person that can get by without others it's not too bad. Maybe even a little liberating.>And when you arrived you already had a job and everything?Yes. Technically I'm a PhD student but I get a very generous stipend and (am supposed to) treat it like a full-time job.>How did you deal with bureaucracy and stuff, hiring translators?Fortunately English is an official language here, so it was straightforward enough getting everything done. The hardest part was the visa application, and that was straightforward enough. I think HK is pretty lax in that regard though, so your mileage may very in other countries. You should probably hire a translator or immigration lawyer if you need to fill out paperwork in another language though. Also make sure you have enough for your housing and utility deposits.>there is a high probability that I won't live till 2027What makes you say that?>On the plus side, I'm white so I'm not likely to face racism.Depends where you go. I get some here but it's not overt or anything, and nowhere near as bad as South Asians or Filipinos get it.>>82381979>have u tried writing poetry?I have not. I don't think I have it in me.>I am taking it ez rn!How was your day at school?
>>82382207>i was able to read a bit in company time >:)Doing anything on company time feels good. >it's okay eiki, she's old enough to make her own financial decisions so it's not your faultThat's true. I did shill it pretty hard though...>i've read a bit of one letter and it seemed funny to me lolWe're basically reading someone's old-timey sexts. It's crass and not the kind of love you'd see in Hollywood pictures, but that was real love there. Plus it's funny to know that the guy who wrote Ulysses had a fart fetish.I wrote a postcard for someone recently and it was nice planning it out before committing it to cardboard. Plus it was nice picking out the stamps, which I have since bought a bunch of for future mail. But you're right, it's good to have the option. I couldn't imagine talking to this person only by snailmail.
>>82381979>just coke and monster!Hell yeah B^). I guess you can't go wrong with either of those.>would it b possible with eugenics?I think it'd be more stable and last longer, but genetics is only one part of the equation. As an example for why it can't be the solution would be with brain damage. Your genetics can leave you to be a very prosocial person but brain damage can easily make someone more psychopathic, despite that.>what was it like?It's been a while, but one thing I can remember was him getting some random user in another YouTuber's community banned because of something he said. I'm pretty sure it was about his appearance or whatever.>how did u interact w him?Redacted to avoid connecting me to a former alias>>82382053>what a polite monke!He's very distinguished, he even has people coming up to perform for him B^).It's okay, if programming won't work then rearranged brain tissue to manufacture them will have to do >B^).>well beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all.True, true.>indeed! make up sucks anywayYeah, I don't get it. I've heard before that makeup may be more of a thing because women use it to compete with one another, but it's beyond me. Guys appreciate how pretty someone is long-term without makeup, makeup only really helps in hooking up which isn't what girls like.If you do have a large, fenced yard then you could probably make it work out there. It's an investment to make their coop and everything -- I honestly don't recommend it :'^).>i do love pigeons too! i dont get why people hate them so much.I think it's proximity. Pigeons aren't as afraid of humans as other birds since we domesticated them for so long and now the ones in the cities are like feral cats, relatively tame and they thrive around people. Feral cats don't really poop on people though.>very cute! my fav part about pigeons is how their head wobblesI like it when they ride trains B^)cont
Thread go fast. I feel too sick to keep up with it. Hope everyone is doing good.
>>82382297I'm from Ukraine and the war is getting really close to my hometown so I can't stay here anymore. If I don't leave the country I'll probably get mobilized and killed in a couple of months. I know English, native Russian and Ukrainian and a little German, Japanese and Czech. I generally don't mind learning the local language. I want to work remote - I've been doing it for like 3 years now i guess but in software development I only have about a month of professional experience. I'll probably get refugee status and either keep my current work or switch to something better if I find a good option. I just don't have enough skills/qualifications to immediately apply for decent work and get a work visa instead of some factory job.
>>82382053>did he wake up late or do roosters call at midday too?I've never had one, but I'm pretty sure they'll do their calls all throughout the day based on their mood. They serve as watchmen for their hens too, they'll alert them if they notice any dangers like a hawk nearby. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB91GIgoEUIThe hen I mentioned before was doing a similar call.>that's always yummu. i used to drink milk every morning for breakfast but nowdays i dont even feel hungry anymore anywaysBut if you stop then your bones will grow weak :pensive:. You must consoom.>it's my second fav one, spring being the first for obvious reasons. though if flowers didn't exist then fall would be my fav. best temperatures and vibes too.A good deal of mushrooms will sprout up during Fall though! Also parasitic plants sometimes bloom in Fall and Winter and they can look quite odd, especially as they'll be a lone flower with no leaves. Mistletoe does have leaves but it's a parasitic plant and it blooms in Fall too :).>green isn't really an inviting colour when it comes to food (that isn't a vegetable) i think.I agree, it's an odd color for anything that isn't a vegetable and that makes it seem like it could be rotten. His final recipe should include food coloring B^). They already do that for cheeses to make them appear more yellow and orange.>whenever a waiter comes in the kitchen saying "table x has a vegan" then literally everyone just sighs loudly. or insults them.kek, from what I've gathered a lot of farmers don't like them either. They see a lot of the ignorant claims they'll make about farming and farmers and just roll their eyes. I know from my own point of view that the idea that eggs from hens you own being a bad thing is just non-sense and the only real argument I've heard in response to it is "well if you sterilized your hen she'd live longer."cont
>>82382407> If you're the kind of person that can get by without others it's not too bad.Maybe, I'm a loner most of the time, but just the idea that if I need help, there will be no one to turn to feels pretty bad>What makes you say that?I'm leaving because of war>Depends where you go.Yeah, you're right, but anyway it's not as bad as it could be.
>>82382062>well it surely is an unique idea. why would it be so stinky though?Must be all of the broken down proteins. Two different amino acids contain sulfur and that sulfur can make all kinds of stinky compounds. That's why burning hair or nails smells so awful, keratin is rich in those amino acids. The vats they ferment them in also isn't enough to keep bacteria from proliferating, just limiting it. Even saturated saltwater can host bacteria as long as it's sodium chloride for the salt. So all of that bacteria is also making a stinky mess in the anaerobic breakdown of the fish.Thinking on it, I wonder how it'd go with other salts. Saturated sodium hydroxide(lye) would stop all microbial activity to my knowledge, so too would saturated potassium acetate or carbonate. Hmmm... Ideas for poisoning myself :)>>82382407At some point you do want people to come closer though. I find myself pretty incapable of getting there at this point though.>Good, good. The threads aren't the same without you.Wouldn't be the same with any of us missing B^)>Best of luck with your project.Well, for now the magnets will remain untinkered with. I will be trying to breed pea clams though as my next project IRL. Azolla fern too, I refuse to let that plant escape my ability to grow and selectively breed it.>>82382505Hope you feel better soon, anon. Eat chicken soup.Gonna get ready and head to bed now too. In the mean time a silly bird
Time for a snooze. Good night, everyone. >>82382609>there will be no one to turn to feels pretty badIt sucks, but you do get a kind of confidence knowing you came out the other end okay. The key thing for me was learning what the food/grocery delivery apps here were. After that I could learn my surroundings.This thread helped a lot, too. Even though I was miles away from anyone I knew, the anons here were good company.>I'm leaving because of warI see, that is rather pressing. I hope you can get out ASAP.>>82382731>At some point you do want people to come closer though. I find myself pretty incapable of getting there at this point though.That's true, but I believe in you. You're beloved in the thread and I'm sure there are people (autists) that would like you in the meatspace, too.

She grew up being hidden by her adopted sister until she started gaining magical powers, re-igniting the unicorn hunts that used to occur in her world(one without magic for 1000 years). And so she sets off on a journey with her adopted older sister and a new witch friend to discover the source of her magic...Um.... so yeah ! That was a lot of talking for such a simple idea.... but, I really loved the movie The Last Unicorn as a kid, and later on the Unicorn Tapestries, so it's a mix of those two inspirations plus generic fantasy desu...Meow, now I feel shy, I know it's childish, but it's a really important story to me !>>82384474>I think it's because of all the emotion thom yorke puts into the lyrics. they're hard to replicate.I see. I tend to struggle with being able to hit all the notes. Usually, I have to sing up an octave, but that makes the high parts of the songs really hard. Hopefully, we can overcome these challenges and sing sad Radiohead songs together !
>>82384474>>82384596What are your favorite Radiohead songs? Let me get in on this singing action.
not taking it easy today, i'm afraid it's finally time for my mood to take a dive againi just hope it'll be over as quickly as last time...i guess for now i'll isolate again. no one needs to hear me say that i don't know what the fuck is going on.at least there are games to play... and silksong thursday too.later.
>>82384613it's alright to dive, just remember to come up for air !If you want to complain, complain to me and I will happily listen *hug*
>>82384621no, air won't be necessary, not anymore.and i have nothing to complain about, weirdly enough... it's just the void calling me again.i am, after all, void in nature and (partly) god in essence. i can't help but feel the emptiness of it all every now and again.the pointlessness of things. of people. of concepts, events, existence. if the shell is empty, the world perceived is also empty.i know, edgy bullshit, i get it. but it wouldn't feel right to leave with such a cryptic message, i don't think.
Taking it cheesey
>>82384607I adore the In Rainbows album, specifically Jigsaw Falling into Place and weird fishes ( I am basic for this, I think ?)But I like singing the bridge in creep a lot, I think its fun :3
>>82384613>silksong That's something to look forward to!>>82385440I'll give those songs a listen! I don't really know anything about Radiohead except for Kid A.
>>82384474>have you tried looking at other people's front yards? usually they're filled with flowers here. or you could always go visit a flower shop!that would be trespassing, no?>ah yes... in another month or so.wut r u gonna play until then?>>82384596>no, just the water tells me secrets on occasion !what else does the water tell u?>It would take awhile but... okay !take ur time!>The character I have had for the longest is a girl who has the "Mark of the Last Unicorn" (a star on her forehead). She grew up being hidden by her adopted sister until she started gaining magical powers, re-igniting the unicorn hunts that used to occur in her world(one without magic for 1000 years). And so she sets off on a journey with her adopted older sister and a new witch friend to discover the source of her magic...sounds like an anime!mayb u should draw a manga or smth?>>82384613what has happened, junas?>>82385294c-could it be?>>82384349i slept rather well, all things considered...i think i';m gonna b okay>I don't got school yet but soon. I am honestly terrified. People told me that I have to work four times as hard to maintain the grades that I had last term. I was already working so hard and burning out then, so I'm even more worried now. I think I will legitimately be spending all of my waking hours studying. Oh well.wut r u studying again?
>>82384579>when your mental health slowly goes to shitoh that's already happening anyways.>I really gotta stop procrastinatingvery true anon, i also have to do that aswell honestly. i start school in a week and i have not opened a book since june... my german is gonna be rusty.>>82384596>I tend to struggle with being able to hit all the notesyeah, i do too, especially high ones. i don't think my voice is made for singing honestly... it doesn't sound great even if i try really hard. oh well, it's not like anyone's ever going to hear me anyways.>>82384607fake plastic trees is my favourite one, closely followed by let down. i can play them on guitar too! though you should listen to the entirety of the bends album. every song in it is amazing>>82384613i don't mind listening to your troubles junas, you've been there for me so ill be here for you in case you change your mind! and take care, it's okay to be sad.>>82384697this calling of the void is really something that happens a lot to me too, everything feels just like you said. but you have to keep in mind these are just bad moments that go away. its not going to feel that way forever!>>82386547>that would be trespassing, no?you don't need to go in, just look from outside duh.>wut r u gonna play until then?i have no idea. i have 0 drive to play basically anything anyways. i hope i can just focus on studying instead. i doubt it though.
>>82387004>you don't need to go in, just look from outside duh.Most ppl have their gardens in the backyards here>i have no idea. i have 0 drive to play basically anything anyways. i hope i can just focus on studying instead. i doubt it though.I believe in u! U can do it, hutao!
>>82382833Hey eiki r u winning?
I just spent 4 hours manually going through 1400 pictures of Karen, checking for quality and cropping them if needed. But now my folder is bigger than ever! Now I can take it easy...
>>82378677How long have u been cooking, anon?>>82388140Wow that's a lot of karens! Wut r u gonna do 2 take it ez?
>>82388153I think I will finally lay in bed and eventually drift off to sleep at some point.Do you have classes today?
I think I'm coming down with a cold again. Hopefully it's not too serious. That's what I get for leaving the house again...My chili tomato noodles have helped a bit. Plus I've got some soup if I'm still off tomorrow.>>82383239>have u ever tried?No. I've never been hit with the inspiration.>>82383644>because then I feel like my words aren't as well thought out !Next time you write something try going slow and see what happens.>I see, that sounds very time-consuming to be so attentive to detailIt is, but in the long run I think it saves time compared to big rewrites. At least I hope it does.>>82384349Don't stress anon. Just read the course syllabus and all will be okay.>>82388041Maybe a little.
made some carbonara today, i didnt have pecorino so i used grana instead. i apologize to whomever might get offended by my terrible acts. it tasted really good though!>>82387426>in the backyards hereah thats lame. then you better start training to get more stealthy.>U can do it, hutao!uh huh, thanks, i hope so. you also better study aswell!>>82388140i admire your dedication anone. just how many karens have you got in your karen folder? my taos must be at least 1 thousand and something.>>82388281the outside is a very dangerous place eiki, you have to prepare yourself properly! with like, face masks. do a lot of people wear them still? i know in asian countries it's not uncommon to see people wear them on the regular
2day i got 2 play around with photoshop!desu i prefer gimp>>82388167okiegn, karen anon!>Do you have classes today?i did! It was a long day...>>82388281ur like a cold magnet, eiki!y is ur immune system so weak? U should probably eat moar or smth>No. I've never been hit with the inspiration.not even once?>Maybe a little.that's nise>>82388729carbonara is nisewhat meat did u use?>ah thats lame. then you better start training to get more stealthy.im very unstealthy!>uh huh, thanks, i hope so. you also better study aswell!i shall!. Let's both study well, okay?
>>82388729>how many karens have you got in your karen folder?My new folder has 1371 Karens! Though they're all screenshots that I took, I don't save any fanart, really, not that I dislike it or anything. There's just something extra nice about having my own screenshots of her to me.>>82389315>gn, karen anon!Haha, now I'm up again already!It was a long day...But now you've done it and can take it eajy! Good job!>i prefer gimpBased, KILL Adobe!!!!!
I'm going to try and fix my sleep again somewhat with the power of Dr Pepper and melatonin. It's all over the place again.>>82388729>do a lot of people wear them still? i know in asian countries it's not uncommon to see people wear them on the regularIt's common courtesy to wear one here if you have the sniffles so you don't give it to someone else. Why that isn't the case elsewhere I have no idea.>>82389315>y is ur immune system so weak? U should probably eat moar or smthIt's because I don't leave the house enough. When I was in school I rarely got sick.>not even once?I don't think my mind works like that. I can write with feeling but I wouldn't call it poetry.
>>82389315>what meat did u use?pancetta (the only right meat)>im very unstealthy!just lvl up your stealth stat then duh>Let's both study well, okay?i feel like you're gonna have to study a loooot more than me, im just gonna make pasta.>>82389709>My new folder has 1371 Karens!woah thats a lot! and especially considering that they're all screenshots too... most of the taos in my folder are fanarts, but i've got some funny screenshots of her too. in total i've got 1462 taos! not counting the more memey ones scattered in my other folders somewhere.>There's just something extra nice about having my own screenshotsyeah, i agree! did you know, a really really kind and talented anon drew a beatiful tao just for me! it made me so happy. i haven't posted that specific tao because i want it to keep it for myself. no one else has it but me heheh.>>82390334>Why that isn't the case elsewhere I have no idea.i know right! i also wear it whenever i have a cold and must go somewhere, but here everyone looks at me weird, and asks me if i have covid. so it makes me not want to do it anymore... i wish people werent so dumb in this country. well, at least i don't get sick often so i don't have to embarrass myself too much.
I should probably tell the story of how I got my current job, by the way, because I just started last week. I scheduled the interview last minute after the convention I was at last weekend, and I was hired on the spot....It's in a different state, though, so my whole life is turned upside down. Trying to navigate it is hard. But I'm glad I have people here to talk to and listen to !>>82385614>I'll give those songs a listen!Do pray tell your thoughts when you get the chance !>>82388281>Next time you write something try going slow and see what happens.o..... k...... a ......... y....... e..... i>>82386547>what else does the water tell u?The water tells me tomorrow is going to be a good day !>mayb u should draw a manga or smth?I used to draw little mini comics as a high schooler, but alas, I don't think I have the time or skill to dedicate to making a full-on manga... Have you ever thought of stories, guya ?>>82387004>I don't think my voice is made for singing honestly... it doesn't sound great even if i try really hard.I used to think the same way, but singing is a skill just like any other instrument ! You can learn and improve over time. And you don't have to sing high, you can always change the key or octave of a song to fit your voice. Lower voices are really pretty too, so just keep at it !>>82388140t-thats a lot of karens
>>82390334>It's because I don't leave the house enough. When I was in school I rarely got sick.u should leave moar often then!go on walks or smth!>I don't think my mind works like that. I can write with feeling but I wouldn't call it poetry.anything can b poetry!>>82390500>pancetta (the only right meat)i wish we had pancetta>just lvl up your stealth stat then duhIt's capped>i feel like you're gonna have to study a loooot more than me, im just gonna make pasta.I don't even wanna study this, i wanna do science...>>82390861>The water tells me tomorrow is going to be a good day !how does le water know?>I used to draw little mini comics as a high schooler, but alas, I don't think I have the time or skill to dedicate to making a full-on manga...what were they about?>Have you ever thought of stories, guya ?sure I did, when i was a kid. I don't member any of them tho...
>>82367838>are you taking it easy?I never am, and i don't think i ever will.
i'm so tired, i've been so tired for the whole day, i think im going to sleep early. i hate feeling like this i had to drink 2 coffees in the morning to do a meeting and then i had so much energy i couldnt concentrate until the very end. afterwards my energy did poof and i got super tired really fast. i don't know why this happens, i slept well today (7 hours).. ill try to sleep more tonight.>>82382432>Doing anything on company time feels good.only if you are doing something worthwhile, reading a book feels better than watching a dumb youtube video for example>>82383239>would it even b worth it?i'd have to earn a bunch before it'd be worth it, i don't know the exact amount. it's still too early to worry about it anyways, gotta become famous first.>>82388729>made some carbonara todayi like carbonara but i think i like pesto more haha>>82390334i love dr pepper it's my fav soda(1/2)
>>82391747(2/2)>>82382517idk if you're gonna see this wall of text, hopefully you are still lurking here and it helps you a bitin normal circumstances, people usually get the job first and then move away, but in your case you could just move away if you think you're in danger and then try to get a job. if you go to somwhere close like poland (even if it's temporary), you'd probably have more help than if you were to move outside of europe, since there'll be many ukranians who have gone through the same, and there'll be resources to help you.i think you should prioritize getting some sort of stability over the destination. i know germany is better than poland but your life is worth more. you cannot predict when war will get to you after all. choose a few countries in europe, start applying and see how it goes. if you want some recommendations so you can start somewhere (dont take me too seriously, i dont know you or your circumstances), i'd recommend, apart from the obvious and ideal central eu countries that everybody would like to go as their first option (germany, denmark, netherlands, switzerland, belgium and luxembourg) for you to go to:bulgaria: hey, hear me out. i know it's gonna adopt the euro soon and it'll become a bit more expensive, but i think it's still affordable. it's very european for a balkan country and i THINK (im a bit sleepy so i could be wrong) that i've seen that you'd be able to apply for temporary protection for one year, so you'd be able to more tomorrow and have a permission to stay for a while while looking for a job over there (though you'd still have to figure out the housing stuff). it's not ideal, but it'd be good as a temporary stay.czechia: not that expensive, the central part of prague is gorgeous and you know the languagemalta: official language is english and, even though there's no much work and it's a bit expensive, it's often overlooked and worth to search for job offers online just to see if you are lucky.
>>82390500>i've got 1462 taos!That's pretty good! But yeah she's probably not gonna be as screenshottable as someone from an anime. She only animates so much in the game.>a really really kind and talented anon drew a beautiful tao just for me!That's so sweet. I kinda get not wanting to post it, too. Imagine it ending up on some booru... And then in the hands of some creep!!>>82390861A lot of my screenshots are just her standing there. Or on the opposite side of the spectrum, goofy and low quality to the point of like when am I ever gonna post this. But I need them all...>>82390334>Why that isn't the case elsewhere I have no idea.We couldn't even get people to wear them during covid...
>>82390861>You can learn and improve over timei guess so... i've been singing for a lot of time, i dont think i've made many improvements.>you can always change the key or octave of a song to fit your voice...im not sure im good enough to do that. i think my voice sounds more depressing than anything.>>82391646>i wish we had pancettaitalian privilege>It's cappedthen what are you gonna use your skill points on?>I don't even wanna study thiswell, too late to go back now. you better study anyway!>>82391747>i like pesto morehonestly not a fan of pesto. though i do like the one they make in genoa (since it has been invented there they actually make a good one).did you know you can make pesto with tomato too?>>82391919>not gonna be as screenshottablethat's true, but since she has a 3d model there's loads of possibility for funny faces and such!>And then in the hands of some creep!!that would be awful indeed! it will forever be in my pc and no one else's! heheh. just thinking that someone put so much effort to make something for me makes me so happy. ahhh!!
>>82392143>italian privilegeitaly is such a nice place to live... Truly...>then what are you gonna use your skill points on?i don't have many unfortunately... I got a debuff called "Wetawd" that gives me very little skill points...>well, too late to go back now. you better study anyway!i shall do that... *sigh*
>>82391694y not, anon?
>>82391747>i'd have to earn a bunch before it'd be worth it, i don't know the exact amount. it's still too early to worry about it anyways, gotta become famous first.do u think u can become famous, anon? Would b kewl 2 have a famous anon hanging around in my threads!
>>82390861im sick again....woe my poor imune systemkill meeeeeaughhhhhhhhhhhh
another long day i wasted so many hours...
>>82392143>since she has a 3d model there's loads of possibility for funny faces and such!Time to learn blender.>just thinking that someone put so much effort to make something for me makes me so happy. ahhh!!It's really cute. It's sweet that you appreciate it like you do as well.>>82393843>wastedWhat makes you say they were wasted? Did you have fun? Did you take it easy and relax?
>>82394366idk man i just keep telling mysefl that i need to be super productive but then i spend hours on my phone instead of getting things done. procrastination at its finest... i shouldnt even be on 4chan rn. gosh if only my mental state were better maybe i wouldn't be brainrotting so hardlike ive isolated myself from everyone and i think that fucked my brain a lot so i havent been functioning properly as a person. i mean i also got ghosted recently so that hurts, and i keep ruminating about why they ghosted me. idk i'm just sad and frustrated and hurt
>>82394895If you're sad, frustrated, and hurt, it makes sense you'd want to do the brainrot easy things to take your mind off it. Do you NEED to be super productive, are you running behind on anything immediate? Or are you just piling requirements onto yourself because you think you should be doing them, which only ends up bogging you down more, making you feel too overwhelmed to get anything done? Try not to think of these as rhetorical questions, because they aren't.
>>82394922both lol. i should probably prioritize the stuff that has deadlines tho...
>>82394933Prioritizing is the way! Let yourself be soothed a bit, forgive yourself for not doing everything, and don't judge how much your "best" is. I've noticed that personally, I have to do things with momentum. Start small, work towards bigger things, it's a pretty common strategy for a reason. But the main thing to remember is that small could literally just be "didn't procrastinate X chore." My advice is vague and general because all I know is vague/general stuff, but point is sorry if it's kinda annoying/repetitive with what others say!
>>82395011anyway i started doing what you said and i actually got one or two things done, thanks anon, now i just have to check off 10 more items from the list. oh well it never ends lol. ijust need to stop ... procrastinating... the start of these sessions.
>>82395190The point of lists from a mental health standpoint is to feel GOOD when you cross one off, but there's always the danger of mental doom/dread when you look at the rest of it in comparison. Focus on "oh wow I improved and got something done THAT quickly in response to some positivity/advice" because it is indeed impressive and good!
>>82395225Honestly I'm used to lists with like 50+ items that I never fully complete. I just move the items to the next list or just never complete them lol.You're so positive anon, it's nice to see :)Have you always been such a positive person?And what should I call you?
>>82395239you're such a cute anon karen chan !! giving advice so kindly... uwahhh !
>>82395239>Have you always been such a positive person?Relative to this place? Yes. Relative to normies, kinda. Relative to now, no.I started my path down mental health stuffs about a decade ago now, and I've come a long way. Initially, I would be outwardly positive, but inwardly negative and pessimistic, but I kinda faked it til I made it. That an abundance of therapy really does just do that to you if you actually open up to it and try everything they suggest.>what should I call you?Everyone called me Bandage back in the day, because I used to trip to make people mad. That and I liked attention, which very apparently has not changed!>50+ items that I never fully completeNo wonder why you feel like you feel like you don't get anything done...>>82395250no bully
I got a bunch of things done. Luckily I make my tasks SUPER easy to complete so I can check them off quickly and get that dopamine boost. I like seeing a large checklist of completed items appear before my eyes.>>82395286>Relative to this place? Yes. Relative to normies, kinda. Relative to now, no.I feel the same as you. That's pretty cool.>I started my path down mental health stuffs about a decade ago now, and I've come a long way. Initially, I would be outwardly positive, but inwardly negative and pessimistic, but I kinda faked it til I made it. That's awesome. I think I'm going through the same thing myself. I wish fixing my brain wouldn't take so long...>That an abundance of therapy really does just do that to you if you actually open up to it and try everything they suggest.What's therapy like? Haven't tried...>Bandage Bandage >attentionYou're just like me fr fr :3>No wonder why you feel like you feel like you don't get anything done...I actually feel great about it honestly. I tell myself, "it doesn't matter if everything doesn't get done, you're allowed to be lazy as long as it is done eventually :)" What really matters is if I complete 10 to 20 tasks per day! Feels amazing when I do. Actually, being able to move tasks to the next day helps with time management since it's actually pretty unrealistic to complete everything in a day. However, it's necessary for me to write everything down so I can keep track of absolutely EVERYTHING I need to do. Hmmm... maybe I should apply that mindset to my hobbies. I've been feeling like I haven't been doing my hobbies consistently...
>>82395286nono I no bully ! I genuinely am excited to see someone being positive in this way and putting so much time into making sure others improve ! I'm sorry I just had to express how happy it made me
>>82395319>I wish fixing my brain wouldn't take so long...It's a very unfortunate thing to be so slow, but slow it is...>What's therapy like? Haven't tried...Different therapists have different styles and schools of thought, but for the most part it's not too dissimilar from the things I'm saying to you. I often regurgitate the things I've been taught, though usually with a 4chan-accepted coat of paint. Unfortunately, mental health stuff can have a very ugh gross normie tone that feels condescending, and it turns a lot of people away from taking it seriously.In terms of what you actually do, you walk in, tell them how it's been since you last saw them, and discuss problems you want to work on. "I have panic attacks at home when I'm just sitting around thinking about stuff" can be met with the trick of filling a bowl with cold water and dipping your face into it. That's my go-to example, because it's worked for me in the past back when I even had panic attacks. Nowadays I just using more general grounding techniques to avoid the panic attacks altogether, but a good therapist will give you something immediate for you to try to see if it helps, then take your feedback on it next week if you tried it, and finally adjust their advice if needed. It's pretty simple, and therapists are usually particularly chill. You have to vibe with your therapist though, it really makes a big difference.>However, it's necessary for me to write everything down so I can keep track of absolutely EVERYTHING I need to do.This would drive me insane!!! Lists make me feel terrible, I can't overcome that aforementioned dread of looking at the unfinished parts... I'm pretty sure my therapist and I talked about it at the time, and I'm not sure if they advised it or if I came up with it, but now I just tell people what I have to do out loud, usually my girlfriend. It helps me remember because I guess... I hear myself say it? Makes it stick for some reason!
>>82395327Ohh, okay, the "uwahh" honestly is what made me think you crossed the line towards parody, lol.I also forget how little the average user of /r9k/ gets in terms of positivity... It's been a long time since I engaged with this place so much. To me, this is just the norm.
>>82391646>how does le water know?I dunno.... I do not have the answers you seek meow>what were they about?All different things ! Stories I made, little 4komas about my own life. Silly stuff.>>82391919>But I need them all...print them all out and form a karen wall !>>82392143>I guess so... i've been singing for a lot of time, i dont think i've made many improvements.For me, it took professional vocal training and years of practice, and I'm still not all that good. ! Don't beat yourself up about it desu !> i think my voice sounds more depressing than anything.How so ?>>82395411Sorry, my typing style tends to sound... rather silly ! Especially when I'm happy, I need to express it !
>>82395459>print them all out and form a karen wall !Oh god, we just got a laser printer, too...I'm genuinely not sure if all the walls in my bedroom would be able to hold them all! I'd have to make collages per page, methinks.>Sorry, my typing style tends to sound... rather silly !It's daijoukay! I like it. It was also the lack of picture also made me think it was some random person coming in to bully.

I might go on a little adventure down to Causeway Bay today. I'm not sure how well I am though.>>82390500>everyone looks at me weird, and asks me if i have covidUnfortunately it became some weird cultural issue. At least washing your hands isn't frowned upon, right?Whenever I go to the university doctors I forget to bring one and end up buying a huge box at the store underneath it because I can't just get one. I'm swimming in the things.>>82390861>o..... k...... a ......... y....... e..... iDon't bully me like this...>>82391646>u should leave moar often then!Not in this heat. It's 33C for the next week...>anything can b poetry!Have you ever written poetry? >>82391747>i don't know why this happensI might be mistaken but I think caffeine prevents or masks tiredness rather than give you energy. So at the end of the day once the caffeine metabolises you're hit with a bunch of tiredness that's built up.>reading a book feels better than watching a dumb youtube video for exampleMaybe so. I liked listening to albums when I was the only person in my office. >>82395709Get well soon! Hopefully it clears up sooner than later.
>>82395955That happened to me recently. I just let it happen and figured I needed the sleep.
I wake up after a few hours nap and now I feel like running 300 miles and screaming my head off because I have so much energy>>82395830>I'd rather continue on my rather ineffective method of dealing with it myselfMany such cases...>I just talk out loud to myselfI do that too when she's not around!>>82395883>did u have any kewl dreamsI had none just now but my earlier sleep you're replying to I did! I had a dream about my Karens getting stolen(?) I'm not quite sure what was happening... It was kind of a blur, but Karens were flying around off my screen, and I felt like it was the doing of someone. All those hours editing Karen pictures did a number on my brain...>Unfortunately it's back 2 grinding 4 me now...Good luck!!!!>>82396475>Causeway BayThe pictures look so cool... Don't overdo it though!!
i woke up in terrible mood. i hope it changes by the end of today. i really don't wanna deal with myself.>>82392923>such a nice place to live..No.>I got a debuff called "Wetawd"right... would you say you have any type of buffs?>>82394366>Time to learn blender.you ask too much of me anon. i think im just going to let the experts do the work... best i can do is build a tao pixelart in minecraft. and make some origami flowers.>It's really cutewould you like it if someone drew a karen for you? have you ever tried to make something with karen in it?>>82393843tomorrow is another day anon, don't be too hard on yourself for not doing much today. sometimes its really hard to simply exist.>>82395459wishing you a speedy recovery yuyu!>it took professional vocal trainingah right i think you mentioned that before. what kind of exercises would they make you do to train?>I'm still not all that goodyes you are! don't be afraid of giving yourself more credit.>How so ?i dunno, i've been told that i always sound depressed despite me not really wanting to be that way. i guess it's just my standard voice now.>>82395553waiting patiently for you to brutally murder me>>82396475>some weird cultural issueindeed, people somehow get angry at anything nowdays!>At least washing your hands isn't frowned uponthankfully not, because i do it almost obsessively. besides im literally taught at school to wash them everytime i touch something, since we work in kitchens and all...>I'm swimming in the things.well at least you're ready in case we get covid 2 electric boogaloo
>>82396528>The pictures look so cool...It is. I almost moved there too but I found somewhere else on Kowloon.I was gonna pick up some stuff from Donki and maybe get a pidser. Is there anywhere you'd like me photograph while I'm there?>Don't overdo it though!!I'm not feeling too bad today. Just a slightly blocked nose.>>82396613>besides im literally taught at school to wash them everytime i touch somethingThat's reassuring. I wouldn't want people in food service not doing that.>well at least you're ready in case we get covid 2 electric boogalooThey will almost certainly outlast my time here. If I get a desk in the office this year I can leave them there so I'm not caught with my pants down again.
>>82395788>Guess you have to clog the thread with more epic drawings...After that Yuyuko drawing, nothing I sketch is good... I cursed myself uwahhh !>>82395830>What kind of exercises do you do in vocal training?Scales, breath training, variations on warmups... my teacher used to make me sing lying down with my hands on my diaphragm to feel my breathing. And of course practice !Maybe one day I'll share my voice meow... I really like to record myself singing and I have lots of my old vocal exercises saved>Are you sick? :(yeah, I have a feeling it's the flu since that's been going around. >>82395883>maybe u should ask the water=_= maybe you should.... drink some water !>r u ever gonna share any of them?maybe, some of them are really personal. And bad heh>>82396475>Don't bully me like this...should I speak slower for you old man ?>>82396613>what kind of exercises would they make you do to train?I used to sing along with scales on the piano, and then we would do slides, where you go from a high note to a low note. Those were my favorites !>I dunno, i've been told that i always sound depressed despite me not really wanting to be that way.I see.... I've been told I look depressed often. Maybe it's just how you modulate your tone ? Or you're not as expressive ?
I just hope someone would fix me. I need a lot of fixing. Bring your whole toolbox. Please, I need a new set of screws and bolts because I'm falling apart. Won't you be the one to set me back on my multiaxis feet:::?
>>82396613>you ask too much of meBut think of the possibilities!!>would you like it if someone drew a karen for you?Well of course!! I'd appreciate any drawing for me, probably no matter how good/bad it is, honestly. I'm a sap. If it's a gift, I pretty much already love it. So long as it's not like... obviously atrocious... like if someone gave me a dead raccoon...>have you ever tried to make something with karen in it?I'm not very good at anything that involves visuals, I'm more a music person. Technically I could do like one of those MAD type videos, but that sounds pretty hard!>>82396645>Is there anywhere you'd like me photograph while I'm there?Oh goodness I'm so unfamiliar with that place I have no idea what's there! I just did a quick google search and saw big tall buildings, and they make me go oooh and ahhhh very easily.>>82396734>I cursed myself uwahhh !It's okay, you have plenty of time to draw more on better days!! I'm pretty sure everyone would love to keep seeing the occasional drawings.>I really like to record myself singingSame... I'm always waiting for vocaroo threads to pop up so I have excuse to sing and post it. Usually no one replies though.Do you think the vocal lessons were worth it? Also were you a total noob when you started? I've been singing just for fun for years now that I've eventually made some pretty good progress but I'd really like to actually git gud one day. I'm not sure how valuable lessons are or if I should just be a practice maniac.>>82396780I'll grab my spanner!
>>82396645>not doing thatyou would be unpleasantly surprised by how many people in real kitchens dont do that. and don't wear safety gear either.>desk in the officewould you actually stay in the office if you get one?>>82396734>my favoriteshm i see, i also sing along with the notes on my guitar, it's also good practice to learn how to sing and play an instrument at the same time. i like humming the lyrics of songs too when i do that.>I've been told I look depressed oftenmy mom constantly asks me why I keep making sad faces but i'm really not doing it on purpose... when im in a decent mental state and im in public i manage to look somewhat normal i think. the only giveaway of my actual mood would probably be the bags under my eyes>you're not as expressivei think it's that, i believe i sound very monotone most of the time. but other times i instead put too much emotion in what i say and it sounds weird maybe. i dunno...>>82396780the machine gods will be pleased.>>82396807>think of the possibilities!!i am too stupid anyways. i used to make sfm posters years ago but it always took me ages to finish because in my eyes every little detail has to be perfect or i get annoyed. best i can do is put funny captions with taos next to them.>If it's a gift, I pretty much already love it.heheh i think the best kind of gifts are the handmade ones. like, i'd much prefer to receive something made specifically for me from a friend rather than something store bought, even if what they made is not perfect. it really makes me feel like im appreciated and thought about! which is exactly what i need to be happy. sadly.>if someone gave me a dead raccoon...well... i guess that might just be too much for me too. i prefer raccoons when they're alive!>more a music personoh you too? do you play any instruments? i love music. it's such a big part of my life.>MAD type videoshm, what are those? the edits with a lot of vfx?...also is the karen in your namebox holding a leek?
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him. Or five small hims.Today I went on adventure to Donki and to try and find a caterpillar cake after hearing rumours you can find them here. I haven't found the full-sized cake yet, but I'm getting close...Later I got a pizza from somewhere else. It was quite nice. A schoolgirl approached me as I was eating it outside and asked if she could have a bite. I'm not sure if she was trying to flirt with me or if she just wanted to eat it. I must still look very young either way...The MTR was incredibly busy today.>>82396734>should I speak slower for you old man ?No, but please provide all future correspondence in large print. Not that your eyes are much better.>>82396807>I just did a quick google search and saw big tall buildings, and they make me go oooh and ahhhh very easily.It's a cool place. Lots of tall buildings and I think some of the highest commercial rent in the world.Unfortunately I forgot to take any pictures.>>82397296>you would be unpleasantly surprised by how many people in real kitchens dont do that.I could have lived life without knowing that...>would you actually stay in the office if you get one?I figure I might get more work done if I have to haul myself over there.
>>82397296>i think the best kind of gifts are the handmade onesYeah, for sure. Though some bought presents can be really thought-out, too!>do you play any instruments?No instruments, exactly... Unless you count playing finger drums on one of those MIDI drum pads... Or the kazoo... Or otamatone... Stylophone... Kalimba... Jaw harp... Slide whistle... I really like silly/weird instruments. Above all, I love singing! I noticed we have a lot of sing-happy people itt.>what are those?Music Anime Douga is what it stands for, like niconicodouga videos. Just Japanese AMV/YTPMVshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkMohOUC6OkIt's really silly how happy this video can make me still to this day>>82398186>A schoolgirl approached me as I was eating outside and asked if she could have a biteIs that not, like... really abnormal? I'd be baffled if a stranger asked for some of my food. Though I'd probably still let them, because it'd be so baffling that I'd be impressed...>Unfortunately I forgot to take any picturesThat's okay! Though I do really love picture blog stuff. Cebruz posting his Japan adventures in his own threads is really nice to me, if you've seen those.
>>82398559>Is that not, like... really abnormal?It is, especially here. It was a white kid from an international school though which maybe explains it a little. I almost have her some but I figured I paid $50 for that slice and I was going to get my $50 worth.Actually did take this one picture while I was out. And one of the pizza. lAlso you probably shouldn't mention that guy here.
>>82398916>picrelI don't know how people can go about their day without being stunlocked in awe over the incredible manmade structures around them... It's so inspiring to me. Even just driving through the city every now and then makes me feel so alive for some reason!!>It was a white kid from an international schoolEven then that's pretty weird! Understood! I'll keep it in mind.

It made me laugh so hard when it came in the mail.>and they can make pretty good sounds tooGigabrain take is that all sound is good and viable for music! Sampling is god.>are you self taught?Yep! Whether you mean the silly instruments or the singing, I've never taken any musical classes or anything.

How do you break into conversation here? If you aren't here often, there's a weird limbo you exist in... If I just post about *my* day without interacting with others, it could appear as if I just feel entitled to (You)s without contributing. But hopping into conversations with people you don't know well when they're busy replying and being replied to by the other frequent fliers seems parasocial!
hello everyone! how are you all doing? im so glad to see the thread is still alive and well. long story short, i busted my phone while working on my car. super clumsy of me, i know. ive been saving up for a new one and i finally had enough! i even had a little bit leftover, isn't that nice? it was nice to be disconnected for a while though. anyway my work break is almost over, so ill hand out some (You)'s later. have a good rest of your day!

It's kinda funny, I struggle to think of songs to sing despite loving singing.>for how long have you been learning/playing these instruments?Hmmm, most of them about 5 years or so, that's when I had all the dollary doos to be buying fun things, after all.

Christmas overcomes all cringe.>>82400305I think you're thinking too hard about it, anon. I just came back to /r9k/ and started posting in these threads a little over a week ago and it was really easy to just start yapping. Feels like most everyone replies every now and then, even if I just say something simple like "Take it easy!" I also like when people post non sequiturs, it gives me more things to reply to.>hopping into conversations... when they're busy replyingI know this wouldn't bother me at all, and I latch onto others' replies to not-me every now and then.>>82400340>It was nice to be disconnected for a whileI've been so attached to refreshing lately, I need to take more breaks...>>82401027>having a good singing voice isn't the most useful thing in the worldI suppose, but it's my absolute favorite thing to do, like... ever.

Everytime I hit the bunk I get so depressed. The moment I stop being distracted by something my thoughts remind me of what a miserable life I have. I've got nothing to show for having lived. I don't have a passion to follow blindly. I don't have a someone to dedicate myself to. I don't have any desires other than the one to be happy, yet my happiness depends on things outside of my control.The idea that I might just have to keep living bouncing from distraction to distraction, fills me with an awful feeling of dread. Is this really all I'm going to live for? To do nothing but work, consume, work, consume, work consume... As a kid I was sure I wouldn't end up the way I ended up. I had a dream but I gave it up. I still regret it to this day. I feel like I had the potential to be someone, to do things in my life, but it has been stripped away from me due to my mental illnesses. Depression takes away so much energy from me. I can barely make something to eat, and when I do, it feels like I'm trying to lift a truck. Everything seems like too much effort, even the things I enjoy, even the things I want to fight for. I wish I was normal. I wish I could wake up in the morning and look forward to the day, rather than curse the world for not having killed me in my sleep. I'm so tired anons. But God knows I'm going to keep trying until I cannot even breathe anymore. There is no point in anything anyways.
>>82401875>Unfortunately i won't b able 2 sleep so muchTruly tragic... Born to honk shoo, forced to go through (with school)...>how was ur day, karen anon?I've had some crazy energy spikes and dips today in particular. I can't really get involved in anything I like because as soon as I get going, I want to lay down and take a break/fall asleep. Which isn't to say that it's been bad, just kinda uneventful. What about yours?>>82402482>i listen to a lot of metal where they don't really singYou can learn how to yell!!>do you have a favourite one to sing?Right now it's probably Kaiju by Sakanaction. Apparently it's an opening to an anime, which makes me feel like a dweeb, but my voice really suits a lot of Sakanaction's songs, which makes me have more fun singing! >i only started last yearWell, I only really play my instruments for goofs most of the time, so I'm not exactly doing anything impressive with them.>are otamatones and thingies like that really expensive?I think all my funny little things have been $80 or less. Very easy to collect! There's a lot of stuff I wish I had, like a theramin, that'd be so cool...Oh, actually my maschine mikro mk3 was like $250, but it does a lot of things and comes with a bunch of software as well.>i basically have no money leftMe too!!! I'm a no income neet now, so it's really weird. I have a bunch of nice expensive stuff around me from when I made good money, but now I worry about food sometimes...>i think my favourite christmas song to sing would be let it snow.It's a really fun one to sing!>because i love snowIt's nice until you have to deal with it, clean it off your car (because you live in america and there is no such thing as walkability or public transportation), clear the sidewalk for the mailman, throw down a bunch salt for the ice, slip on the ice anyway...>>82402834>keep trying until I cannot even breatheThis is the way, nonny. Don't beat yourself up for not doing more than your best right now.
