[rain mango]

Its psychology wdym

[rain mango]

I would understand if you said not to read self help books, but ignoring psychology is kinda wack

[radiant lake]

tbf like all of this "classic" psychology stuff is pseudoscience at best

[lilac quarry]

I treat my patients strictly with the lore of the SCP universe

[rain mango]

Neuroscience trumps it all yea

The methodology is more appliable then neuro tho

Js like einstein did the brain thing for emc2

[lilac quarry]

yeah psychology is dumb, you just say something that sounds smart followed by "bazinga" and it's all good

[quasi slate]

what about the harbor freight generators

[lilac quarry]

neat

I really like scp 184

[rain mango]

They had to study the brain through hear-say and anedoctal inputs from subjects

I quite like how jung uses myths and dreams as objects of study

[stiff geyser]

Fr, that's why I stopped going to therapy and rejected the pills they gave me uwu

[uncut epoch]

jung mentioned 🗣️

[lilac quarry]

how do you think I became a mod

reject thoughts, only ban

bazinga

[rain mango]

Sounds smart

Idk about y'all, but I'm getting so tired of the internet lately

[devout scroll]

Why?

[stiff geyser]

15 years ago it was a cool place to find cool stuff and games and music

Now its everything

And so much... Corporate? I don't know how to explain it

How everything is designed for maximum profit

[rain mango]

Technofeudalism

[stiff geyser]

With social media being designed for addiction

[ivory grail]

Did you just find out?

[stiff geyser]

I started to notice it with tiktok, with their short videos, and autoplay and the shitty UI that never lets you see the full video

[thin wedge]

@loud pumice 's life

[stiff geyser]

Nah, but it's gotten so annoying now that I'm seriously considering just deleting all shit lol

[rain mango]

Do it

[ivory grail]

I mean i got two social media accounts discord and Facebook to keep in touch with my old family. I live in bliss knowing that most of my social life is in person

[devout scroll]

For youself

[stiff geyser]

lmao

[devout scroll]

And I have a wife :), you just said you were lonely so

[stiff geyser]

He went to brazil like a month ago for vacation... I am lonely rn

[rain mango]

He came to see me

[devout scroll]

A month+ long vacation? Damn

[stiff geyser]

Yeah, maybe he is cheating on me

[rain mango]

Were smoochin rn

[devout scroll]

I would never do that to my wife, I’ll miss her too much

Idk how ya make that work

[stiff geyser]

It's just a month tho

[devout scroll]

Don’t say that

[rain mango]

Maybe not bro

Which state did he go to

Was it for the new year?

[ivory grail]

Yes feed into this even if there literally no proof create proof and go insane.

[stiff geyser]

Christmas and new year with his family, so I kinda doubt he is cheating on me lol

[devout scroll]

Well a month is a super long time not to fuck, I see how Fred can have questions

[rain mango]

Theyre my neighbors were smoochin rn

[devout scroll]

I mean it is hes bf after all, that’s hes call to make

I’ll be worried too

Brb working out

[ivory grail]

Dawg i'm asexual, a month isn't long, and the few time I did date I never did. Just didn't see the point really.

[rain mango]

Jokes aside, good luck with ur brasilian partner, everything gets resolved in the bed, much passion

[stiff geyser]

Fr

It's like alcohol for me

Got drunk for the first time in my life like a week ago

It wasn't fun or anything. Can't believe people actually get addicted to that shit

[ivory grail]

I'm can now legally get alcohol but I just don't see the point. + new antidepressants and alcohol doesn't mix so well.

[stiff geyser]

Nah he ain't from brazil. He went there with his entire family

[ivory grail]

Why brazil?

[stiff geyser]

Good beaches

[ivory grail]

Ahh

I mean, no fair

[rain mango]

True

[stiff geyser]

The beaches in argentina suck, so brazil is quite a common destination for summer

[rain mango]

Yea he aint gonna have time to smooch (me)

[ivory grail]

I'm just not a beach guy i'm an mountain guy

[devout scroll]

Well it’s different when you aren’t asexual there’s different brain chemistry’s at play, also a month is a long time not to have sex with you love/also a long ahh time not seeing them

[stiff geyser]

Fr

[devout scroll]

I was just saying I see why he’s worried

I bet your be too

Bc I’ll be

[stiff geyser]

Worst part is he cancelled our last date of the year on the same day

[devout scroll]

Yikes

[rain mango]

Hopefully yall are texting?

[stiff geyser]

Like... We haven't seen each other for a month now, and he won't come back till next week

[devout scroll]

Fred FaceTime ya man’s rn ngl that would actually send me insane

Canceling the last date before a month vocation out on country

[stiff geyser]

That's the thing... Barely

[devout scroll]

Holy

[stiff geyser]

Yeah, not looking good

[rain mango]

Aw man

[devout scroll]

I’m sorry Fred I hope everything ends up good

Between y’all

[stiff geyser]

I know he might be busy and all, but he is kinda avoiding me rn

[rain mango]

Men are like that tho

[ivory grail]

I can see how it would be lonely, but I mean if you truly love them you can make it work.

[devout scroll]

Busy? I was still doing FaceTimes working 10+ hour days bro

[stiff geyser]

To be fair the date was till midnight, two days before him going to brazil driving

[devout scroll]

Do you share locations with him Fred?

[stiff geyser]

But idk, its weird

[devout scroll]

You should check it time to time

[stiff geyser]

I don't really mind the wait, but I really feel ignored

[rain mango]

Its the longing that breaks the man.

• no good good for a long time, in the usual brain, is really hard and emotive

[devout scroll]

Brb

[rain mango]

Has he came out to his family?

[stiff geyser]

Yes

[rain mango]

Id be facetiming too

[ivory grail]

I would talk to them, don't just sit and wait for him to talk. You should tell him how you feel

[rain mango]

Damn he got no excuse

[rain mango]

True

[ivory grail]

The relationship that I had failed due to me getting so overwhelmed by classes and work.

[stiff geyser]

Sent him a text yesterday and still no reply

[devout scroll]

That’s what I’m saying

[amber kindle]

@stiff geyser are you from Argentina?

[devout scroll]

They can ALWAYS find time to text

I’m not even trying to start anything between them it’s just the facts aren’t looking good

[stiff geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/simuladores-flags-argentina-flag-gif-14756868

Fr

[ivory grail]

I never notice until it was to late, so give him a warning because people can just get sweeped up with work, family, etc.

[amber kindle]

GOATED, me too!

🔥

[stiff geyser]

Batata o membrillo?

[amber kindle]

membrillooo

[ivory grail]

What the time difference at the moment? I would send him an text when you know he just woke up or something.

[amber kindle]

mate o cafe?

[stiff geyser]

I know it ain't looking good, but it's quite contradicting with the things we talked about before

[stiff geyser]

Same hour lol

[rain mango]

Arg and Bra have the same timezone I think?

[rain mango]

[stiff geyser]

I'm quite a big fan of coffee ngl... Mate is annoying to prepare

[devout scroll]

Yup

[ivory grail]

Sorry i'm American and someone who live in ohio i don't know anyone timezone that past like Kentucky

[amber kindle]

I got you, I don't like mate, im a fake argentinian lmao

[stiff geyser]

Argentina is in the wrong timezone, but we wanted the same as brazil for business reasons I think

[ivory grail]

I do know drugs though

True ohio pride

[devout scroll]

I got family in Kentucky, Lovly state :)

[rain mango]

I heard theres zombies there tho

[ivory grail]

Kentucky is like ohio but some how even more boring.

[stiff geyser]

Nah I like mate, but I don't drink it everyday... And mostly when someone else preapres it. You won't ever find me waking up and making one out of nowhere

[devout scroll]

Omg chat the mosquitoes are sucking me dry but I still have an hour of upper body work outs to do

[ivory grail]

But that the sections I been jn

[devout scroll]

Zombiods you mean? :)

[rain mango]

Zomopioids

[devout scroll]

Louisville is cool tho

[ivory grail]

No that just the fent

[devout scroll]

Even though half of that city isn’t even in Kentucky

[ivory grail]

Haven't been there + city's makes me like angry?

[stiff geyser]

We started dating quite recently, and till now we were really open about what the other wanted. So this is really weird

[devout scroll]

I think it still counts right?

[devout scroll]

How recent?

[stiff geyser]

October

[ivory grail]

I don't know how to describe it but when I walk through a city like Columbus I wanna strangle someone.

[devout scroll]

No no not like that i don't care much about nature, unless there snow, it the people i think.

[devout scroll]

Oh man, so about half the relationship has been him on hes trip

More or less?

[ivory grail]

City folks piss me off for some reason

[rain mango]

I wouldn't overanalyze it too much

[stiff geyser]

Not really? Like a third so far lol

[rain mango]

Just face your emotions

[devout scroll]

Well when he’s he coming back?

[stiff geyser]

Next week

[devout scroll]

Oh!

Ok just wait until then ans see what happens

[stiff geyser]

You just told me he was with you smh

[devout scroll]

It’s SOOOOO much better talking in person than over the phone

[stiff geyser]

I'm ready to let go tho

[ivory grail]

Oh that not that bad. He might have been just focusing only family. When I go on vacation I kinda just disconnect my phone.

[stiff geyser]

I'm not obsessed over him or anything. I'd love to build a good relationship with him, but if I can't, well... Nothing so serious

[devout scroll]

I wish I could offered vacations, closes I’ve ever been was taking a grey hound a city over for beers lol

[stiff geyser]

[stiff geyser]

Ohio river?

Isn't that one from PZ?

[rain mango]

Isnt that where they threw all the 1990 sledgehammers

[flat cliff]

hello

[ivory grail]

Yeah i think so but it doesn't have much fish and is very polluted

So it might be a different river.

[rain mango]

Do you go hiking with anyone, or alone?

[stiff geyser]

Can't belive PZ is so popular they named a river after it

[stiff geyser]

Haiiiii

[rain mango]

I kinda wanna get into hiking but it sounds dangerous

[devout scroll]

I had a perfect yaoi gif to use here but it looks like discord removed it over

[ivory grail]

Usually by myself but sometimes my friends demands to spend time with me so they will join occasionally. But the one that usually go she sucks at hiking

[rain mango]

lol

[stiff geyser]

I'd love to go hiking

[rain mango]

Hiking alone sounds danger

Imagine u trip on a root and fall down somewhere forever

[young kelp]

always remember the buddy system

[stiff geyser]

Unfortunately, I live in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the world. Have to take the car and drive for hours to start seeing untouched land

[rain mango]

Buenos Aires?

I liked it theres a big obelisk

[stiff geyser]

Yes

Not even on the edges of the city. Literally in the middle. I'm surrounded by nothing but concrete

I don't even know what grass is

[rain mango]

Have you been to La Vaca Loca?

[stiff geyser]

Never heard of it

[rain mango]

Its a restaurant

Had wine and fried apples

[ivory grail]

I live in a town that was famous due to how to badly it was affected by the painkiller epidemic. I learn how to administer narcan when I was like 10, also been like robbed a couple of times. But I got good at dodging punches and I usually carry an knife. At this point I want someone to.

[rain mango]

It was near a section near the river, where there were many apartment buildings that looked expensive

[ivory grail]

Maybe I have some anger issue maybe that why I don't like being inside citys

[stiff geyser]

I think I know the place

You got the name wrong

[rain mango]

Sleepy boy more like in danger boy

[stiff geyser]

The only place with cows in the name that's next to the river and next to expensive apartments lol

That I'm aware of lmao

[ivory grail]

Nah you get good at dodging punches after narcaning a couple people. If they disarm me i'm fucked. I can't actually punch for shit.

[rain mango]

They removed the loca :0

[ivory grail]

Got good stamina though

[stiff geyser]

But is that the place?

[rain mango]

I kinda remember these wood walls

[ivory grail]

I'm that right cow

[stiff geyser]

Searching for la vaca loca sends me to a random meat store in the middle of nowhere lol

[rain mango]

Yea i ate at puerto madero

[stiff geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/money-gif-11954040389595096870

[rain mango]

[ivory grail]

I would love to leave the country, I want to see other cultures and just completely different scenery

[stiff geyser]

Took my boyfriend to puerto madero on our first date

[rain mango]

Did you?

[stiff geyser]

Too late. Every place on the planet shares the same culture now

[ivory grail]

Anger?

[stiff geyser]

I did lol. It was just for coffee tho

[rain mango]

Hey if things dont workout between u, aha im like open to talk

[rain mango]

Sounds lovely anyway

[stiff geyser]

You don't take someone to an expensive restaurant on a first date

Either coffee or going for a walk

[rain mango]

Also his family flew to brasil for vacays id settle

[stiff geyser]

Nah bro they took the car

Fucking insane

[rain mango]

Also his family spent vacay on brasil id settle

[stiff geyser]

Imagine driving from Buenos Aires to Florianópolis

Dear lord

[stiff geyser]

Fr

My longest drive was like 400km and I hated it

[rain mango]

Too boring

[rain mango]

I wanna say, the man Im courting right now takes a long time to respond

[stiff geyser]

I mean that you'll find people wearing the same clothes, sharing the same routines and values in most places

[rain mango]

But cause he works as a nurse

And sleeps till 15pm at times

[ivory grail]

I mean atleast different looking houses in the more rural areas?

[stiff geyser]

I thought you were saying you were with my bf again smh

[stiff geyser]

Nah

All the same

[ivory grail]

Cubes just cubes?

[stiff geyser]

Well, we actually use concrete

Can't believe americans use wood smh

[stiff geyser]

Yeah what were you expecting?

[ivory grail]

They don't even use that really

[rain mango]

Same

[stiff geyser]

Easier and cheaper to build

No one makes a fancy traditional building anymore

[rain mango]

Just foam and prayers right

[ivory grail]

Idk like houses that looks like the dying light the beast time.

[stiff geyser]

So we all just use the cheap option

I'm in south america listening to american music while drinking coca cola, next to my christmas tree

Like... All cultures are the same now lol

[ivory grail]

Fr fr, one of my old and thank god no longer friend tried to punch a whole in my wall but my house was built before such an thing and he broke his hand.

[stiff geyser]

Very few variations between countries now

[ivory grail]

Only cracked the wall slightly

[stiff geyser]

Of course there're some exceptions, but go to any capital and you'll see mostly the same things

[ivory grail]

Yeah i'm not interested in bug tourist location I wanna see every country forgotten side.

It would feel like a piece of home just seeing people just trying to get by. And hopefully slightly better than my town. Where most fight with eachother.

I would love to live in a close-knit community, where everyone genuinely cared about each other. Very few people do in my town but the few are genuinely the nicest people you could meet.

Alright i'm depressing myself i wanna do war crime.

[stiff geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/me-too-me-too-kid-incredibles-gif-19919940

I'm tired of the big city

Besides it's impossible to get a job or good rent

[rain mango]

These places where even the elder work

[onyx igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/red-dead-redemption-gif-23739235

do this to leave

unless you have family there

[ivory grail]

I mean that what my town has but they hate everyone aswell. There wad 8 old people that I genuinely cared about. I always made sure there area was salted but most passed away but the few that lived scraped off my car windshield recently when one of the bad snow storm came by.

[stiff geyser]

Actually had a mental breakdown once and started walking on a straight line for hours

[ivory grail]

It just sad how my town is actively dying and no one cares, and the town council is just trying to sell the land to an data center

[stiff geyser]

Didn't get like a tenth of the way to leave the city

[onyx igloo]

oh
uhh

sorry lmao

[rain mango]

https://tenor.com/view/bellebows-tiktok-dog-funny-silly-gif-26293491

Have you ever thought about jumping onto a train and just see where it takes you?

[onyx igloo]

trains?

[rain mango]

I dont even know where to move for in usa

[onyx igloo]

we dont have trains anymore
atleast usa wise

[rain mango]

But start plannin

[ivory grail]

Everyday I leave for class an train usually pass under the bridge I take, and everytime I see it I just think about parking and just leaping onto the train

[ivory grail]

Alaska, if you wanna escape data centsr since for the ai companies it cost to much for land so they rather build in an deserts

• i think Alaska ban billboard ads on highway

Also Hawaii i believes

[stiff geyser]

They only take me to different parts of the city

[ivory grail]

None leave your city?

[stiff geyser]

Not really lol

[rain mango]

Alaska hikin is true danger

[stiff geyser]

I think only three go to different cities

And that's it

[ivory grail]

I mean it a good start

If I genuinely had the money I be traveling to try to find somewhere I genuinely like.

[rain mango]

Sell fent

[ivory grail]

But with my body temperature it would have to be one of the state on the very top

[ivory grail]

Nah there already so much fent laced things around my town that it ruin the fent market

[rain mango]

Its just dumb seeing data centers in desert lol

https://tenor.com/view/westernwlnd-stan-twitter-spongebob-lollipop-gif-4041143321935300738

What would it be? A few extra billions?

grunt got lolypop :D

[ivory grail]

Yup but they built one and the town is struggling with an water shortage and told them to ration water while the data center use it all

[ivory grail]

Alaska is believe have a lot of environmental laws if you wanna build something like that

[stiff geyser]

I have no saving nor job

[ivory grail]

Have yall seen resident alien i wanna live in a town like that small, not known as a drug town and basically that it.

[ivory grail]

I literally work as a pharmacy technician and I hate every second of it. I'm starting clinicals in an non-profit hospital and if they willing to hire me I'm going. I don't even care if they pay less then shity cvs

[onyx igloo]

Id just destroy the data center at that point

[stiff geyser]

Well I'm just applying to anything rn

[rain mango]

I hope that happens at one point

[ivory grail]

But yeah I basically got no saving aswell. I mean i got about 4 k but I'm trying to get an new car. Since my current one is literally falling apart

[stiff geyser]

It's so fucking hard to land a job in this fucking city

For every job I apply to there's 3000 people who did the same

[ivory grail]

Fair, I got friends who quit there jobs without an backup and then still be picky looking for an job.

[stiff geyser]

Just trying to find a job that values being bilingual lol

I'd even take a waiter job

[ivory grail]

In my town it doesn't matter how many applied most of them are fake jobs. You apply and you get an text an month later saying it been filled but then they post the same job two hours later.

I'm a certified phlebotomist and nowhere hired me even though i got 100 hours of phlebotomy clinical

And i can tell you the hospital near me could use an decent phlebotomist who doesn't dig for an vein aswell as palpiate for one while digging (looking at you ER)

They fucked up my arm for an month, I looked like an addict

[stiff geyser]

Kinda funny how the job market is shit everywhere

[ivory grail]

Yup

[stiff geyser]

I feel like we'll see a revolution in the near future lol

[ivory grail]

Right now in America you can't buy an house before Blackstone buy it

[rain mango]

Digital revolution

[stiff geyser]

Not being able to afford a home is a global thing

[ivory grail]

It actually been happening, an country literally overthrow there government. What was the name again

[onyx igloo]

Dont hope, just do

[ivory grail]

Yeah but they also racking up the rent

[stiff geyser]

I kinda hate that the current meta of capitalism is buying houses and then renting them forever

[onyx igloo]

that isnt even what the point of it was, but pword

[ivory grail]

They literally buy home and not rent it so the demand is higher so they can make other pay more.

[ocean mural]

It was always like that but yeah I agree

[stiff geyser]

Yeah... Been looking for rent and the cheapest places are like two thirds of the average income for someone like me

[radiant lake]

the job market according to sites i've been looking on where i am is:

• 50% jobs i can't do like stocking or whatever physical labor nonsense
• like 20% listings for aba therapy places desperate for workers
• like 10% "AI trainer" or some other similar title. ew.
  and the rest is ????? like ok Maybe but then i look at the requirements and it's like.

[ivory grail]

I genuinely think you're should only be able to own 5 house max and that being extremely kind.

[stiff geyser]

Its complicated

[ocean mural]

That's already a lot lmao

[radiant lake]

being a "landlord" should not be a job

[ocean mural]

Do you have any degree?

[ivory grail]

I know and that when you know it sad, when that 5 would be nice. So they can still be scummy landlords but make it so if they don't actually take care they lose tenants. Vs I own 90% of the houses around so even if you move I'm still gonna treat you like shit.

[radiant lake]

a degree? in this economy?

[ocean mural]

You live in the USA?

[ivory grail]

A degree doesn't even matter anymore

[radiant lake]

true tho lmao

[ivory grail]

I got certification and it as good as an degree

[radiant lake]

my bro makes like 2k per paycheck and he never went to college beyond a couple classes

[onyx igloo]

Yeah a 75 degree angle as i load these boxes into a truck

[ivory grail]

Wtf does he work at and what exactly is he doing?

[rain mango]

I cut off youtube shorts

[ocean mural]

Just come live in France lmao

Studying is free in every university, we'll it's like 200€ of admin fee that can be paid by the gov if you are poor

[radiant lake]

he's a sales guy for verizon and he sells iphones to the rich people of west omaha

[rain mango]

Sorry no i like my letters pronounced when i speak

[radiant lake]

he literally had a billionaire walk into his store once

[ivory grail]

Nah man come to America where university cost atleast 5k semester and even when you're poor they give you 1k for the whole year.

[ocean mural]

Come to the south of France then, we pronounce every letter and the weather is awesome :p

[onyx igloo]

we could just, take billionaires money away

why dont we

[radiant lake]

[karmic jetty]

[ocean mural]

Yeah, back in high-school we did a student thingy whatever it's called with USA highscoolers, we went to the USA for 2 weeks

It was cool (beside your horrendous cheese and bread omfg, like wtf is that shit seriously), and they gave us some paper to enroll into a usa college if we wanted, everyone of us laughed out loud at the price per year, our correspondant were so confused lmao

[radiant lake]

my brother sold phones to a billionaire once 👍

[rain mango]

Lol

[ivory grail]

Don't you guys eat snails What do they call that again some type of fancy shit.

[karmic jetty]

[onyx igloo]

As an American, I have no fucking idea what the cheese and bread is

[ivory grail]

But i will tell you the bread and cheese is shit

[onyx igloo]

where are you from?

[ocean mural]

You can live by the sea with super comfy winter and be at one hour by car from the mountain where there will be snow in winter or vice versa

[onyx igloo]

just curious

[ivory grail]

The only good cheese and take my advice is from the Amish

[ocean mural]

South of France

[stiff geyser]

At this point my best hope is for an elderly billionarie to fall in love with me

[ivory grail]

If you come back to America go to the Amish god they make some good cheese

[onyx igloo]

ive heard french countryside is pretty

[stiff geyser]

Seriously wtf is going on with the job market?

[ivory grail]

Same I want a sugar mommy who will die quickly

[onyx igloo]

[radiant lake]

i'd vaguely considered living in france since i studied french in high school but i'd basically be at square one at this point. and idk if i'd survive there in france ngl

😭

[stiff geyser]

I'll go out tomorrow and hand out my resume in person to fucking coffee shops. If that doesn't work idk what ill do

[ivory grail]

I heard Paris is like constantly on fire though

[rain mango]

Vous vous le-voux

[onyx igloo]

Dont go to paris

[rain mango]

THIS IS FIRE 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 PUT IT OUT

[onyx igloo]

Avoid Paris

[stiff geyser]

I've been to paris

[rain mango]

France drag queens are arsonists

[radiant lake]

jene parlepas frnacais or something

[stiff geyser]

It sucks

[ivory grail]

I saw a video review croissants in Paris as there was a literal riot behind him

[ocean mural]

I still live near a somewhat big town, Toulouse

But yeah, there are plenty of nice place in the countryside, like middle ages villages etc

But it's cool because I'm close to the mountains, sea and ocean

[rain mango]

Du français type shi

[radiant lake]

je suis un oeuf

[ivory grail]

That the places i wanna live in a rural area.

[rain mango]

Have you gone to a riot?

[onyx igloo]

i generally prefer countryside to city

[radiant lake]

tbh if i go to pretty much any city that actually has skyscrapers i get stunlocked and thats like, MOST cities

[ivory grail]

@ocean mural is it true that you guys aren't allowed to get an paternity test?

[ocean mural]

Bah it's just parisian

It's almost like a whole other culture it's insane. Their brain is too f* up by their 3m2 home for 1300€/month

Every non-parisian hates parisian and every parisian hates us

[onyx igloo]

I have a fear of heights

[ivory grail]

It so ugly though, after a while

[radiant lake]

most cities would make my brain explode

[onyx igloo]

No skyscrapers for me

I always look down at tall heights and always get queasy

[ocean mural]

It has to be allowed by a judge yeah

[ivory grail]

Why?

[radiant lake]

see it sucks here too cuz the city skyline just. boring. and then the light pollution is just as bad as bigger cities anyway and im not even close to the city center like bruh my backuard is a cornfield HOW can i not clearly see the stars

[rain mango]

Lol bourgeoisie problems

[ivory grail]

Fr, like I genuinely wish there was like one day a year that all light will turn off(except emergency services) for about 10 to 25 minutes.

[ocean mural]

I have no idea, I didn't even know it was a thing tbh, I just checked it

I don't know anyone who has ever even wanted to make one

I guess the way we live it's rarely an issue and when it is it's the kind of issue that probably really needs a judge... Idk

[rain mango]

France has present dads

[ivory grail]

I heard there was just a lot of cheating, and i'm guessing a lot of politicians had children and they don't want the bad press

Dating yucky anyway

[rain mango]

Maybe were just parispilled

[ivory grail]

I mean they called the arsonist parisian so I think Paris itself is an problem

@ocean mural is Paris like the Florida of france?

Like if any crazy shit that happen it in paris

I chatted with someone who live like an town away from Paris and he told me he wishes for the whole city to be wiped off the map. Is it really that bad?

[ocean mural]

I hate paris, like I would never ever want to live there, but it really is a cool city to visit tbh

Lots of activity, stuff to visit
And since parisian apartments are so small and bad, people spend their time at cafés, bars and restaurant, thus there are so many of them, and the food is super cool

Also, often not that expensive, like there was a bar with a pint of beer for 3€ which is insanely cheap

[ivory grail]

Does it smell like piss?

[ocean mural]

No lmao

[ivory grail]

That was one thing that guy really hated

[ocean mural]

I guess if you try to find a small alleyway in a bad zone probably

[ivory grail]

So basically any town

[ocean mural]

Not really more than any other big places tbh

[ivory grail]

So like what exactly do you dislike them?

[ocean mural]

People hate parisian and hate the life there because it's so expensive and stressful, the city itself isn't that bad

[ivory grail]

But isn't that like everywhere though?

[ocean mural]

In France the difference is really big between Paris and anywhere else

[lilac quarry]

I think that is the case everywhere

[ivory grail]

Yeah

I feel like any cities is a pit of slop

[ocean mural]

Like wages are probably 30% bigger, there are 100x more jobs, but everything is more expensive

Like for 300k euros we constructed a brand new house in the suburbs of Toulouse, 110m2, some terrain, a garage etc

In Paris I would have maybe a 10m2

[ivory grail]

And towns are a large puddle of mud and random stray house you see in the woods are just murder hobo shacks

[onyx igloo]

so good for a visit, bad to live in?

[rain mango]

Most cities yea

[ivory grail]

300k for a newly constructed house? How much do you make in your area?

[rain mango]

Capitals

[ocean mural]

Nah other towns in France are usually

Besides Marseille which is the shittiest shit hole in the whole world, it's not even France tbh, it's just a dumpster of shit humans

[rain mango]

I wanna go live in brasils federal district

[ivory grail]

Like the materials would be so much more in my area

[rain mango]

But its a flat city

[ivory grail]

I think my town can take that title

[stiff geyser]

I just wanna live in a house outside of a small city

Dream life

[ocean mural]

My salary varies a lot, but the base salary is 2.2k after taxes, and I often am around 3k

Bear in mind that in France this mean that it's everything in my pocket, no Healthcare to pay after taxes etc etc

And my wife has a similar salary

[ivory grail]

Same I wanna live like 1 hour away from the nearest city so I can still find a job easily + somewhere to visit and do something.

[lilac quarry]

I think clacton-on-sea takes a good run at the title for worst

[ivory grail]

Is that monthly?

[ocean mural]

Yes

Euros too

[stiff geyser]

Fr. Can't do that in Buenos Aires. It's like a 2 hour drive from the edge of the city to the centre and that's if you take the highway lol

[rain mango]

Yum

[ocean mural]

The most insane thing tbh is that we have a 1.2% mortgage

[heavy ivy]

living in a tourist town sucks
all of the local activities cost money, everything is expensive and a lot of the housing is occupied by boring rich people

[neat moat]

I would visit your town just to gawk at the soup gang

a lot of pointing and laughing

[ivory grail]

I make about 1k every two weeks but my car is basically on it last leg and replacement part take so much out of my pocket. And I work about 40 hours

[lilac quarry]

at least you didn't live in the walled city

[ivory grail]

Literally the front bumper fell off when I was checking the oil because I leaned on it slightly

[neat moat]

sleepy do you really need your car

[ivory grail]

I completely forgot about the walled city

[neat moat]

Can a bus get you where you need to go

[heavy ivy]

[ivory grail]

I live in America

[rain mango]

There is no wall in Ba Sing Se

[ocean mural]

Yeah Buenos aires is big

My town is around 1M people with the suburbs, enough to have activity and stuff to do, not too big for it to become super annoying

And that's what we have, a house in the suburb of a not too big town

[neat moat]

at least

[ivory grail]

I live in a town that has zero public transportation

[neat moat]

Mood

[glass wigeon]

[stiff geyser]

15 million in buenos aires

[glass wigeon]

my town has 7k people

Well we have one but it one taxi car and they are so expensive that barely no one use it unless there an emergency

[lilac quarry]

if you could move anywhere in the world where would you go

[ocean mural]

[ivory grail]

Have a patient who get Valtoco which is like an anticonvulsant nasal spray. So and from the sounds it like narcan.

I love America because it also expensive as hell

It was like still about 500 for them

[radiant lake]

i literally sit here like "my meds dont do shit" but i do have at least like 10% more impulse control when i actually have them in my system so.,

[glass wigeon]

my previous medicine before i switched to injection

im canadian

it would cost 7k per infusion

but covered by government

but in america its over 20k

[radiant lake]

holy fuck

[ivory grail]

Have you tried different brands?

[glass wigeon]

my injections now are a bit over 1000 for 4 weeks worth of injection

so 2 pens

[radiant lake]

the problem is im medicated for the wrong things i think

in america it costs over 6000

[ivory grail]

whenever i feel like they arent working i both check if i took em and also remember how fucking anxious i was about meds when first getting my anxiety meds

[ivory grail]

You must know someone who takes insulin

[glass wigeon]

[glass wigeon]

I'm expecting a massive decrease of healthcare quality due to recent policies

It harder to become a nurse now because it seen as an non professional degree so there less grants you could get to help going to college

It sucks

[restive pollen]

global warming is real lmao, hottest summer I’ve ever had

[glass wigeon]

nurses r cool

It was 45 degrees yesterday, in the suburbs

Nursing is like the fun thing in hospital you do a lot more hands on then doctors

[radiant lake]

rip

[ivory grail]

Doctors are so busy visiting like 200 patients an day that they basically only around you for max 5 minutes

Nurses are literally the life blood of most hospitals in America

Surgeon seems fun aswell, but I don't think I don't want to have a life depending on me every time I work.

[glass wigeon]

i wanted to be a paramedic when i was younger

buti came to realize cause of my mental health it wouldnt be a good choice

with how stressful and demanding it would be

[radiant lake]

i never had an interest in any jobs like that

kinda wanted to be a vet when i was a kid but that was it

kid me was pretty dead-set on becoming an artist from age 10 onward so

[ivory grail]

Oh yeah my mental health is like so fucked. But death at this point doesn't affect me anymore i'm so emotionally numbed it not even funny anymore.

[lilac quarry]

it's not so bad

obviously can be, but not all that often

[glass wigeon]

probably depends on the person

[ivory grail]

Therapist i would only go in to work in an children ward. So I can actually tell them that there feeling matter vs the one I had who said if I couldn't take it I wouldn't make it to adult life

[glass wigeon]

and whjere you are a paramedic as well

i assume being in a big city would be more stressful

[ivory grail]

I mean car wreck would really suck

[glass wigeon]

compared to a rural area

[lilac quarry]

rural definitely worse

100%

I speak from experience lol

[lilac quarry]

eh

[glass wigeon]

what is worse in it

[lilac quarry]

you're farther away from help

[ivory grail]

Why is rural worst. I think i know why since I live in that area but I wanna see if it different

Here in Aus, our most expensive medication is the ADHD meds which is $30 for a month's supply

My grandma doesn't like gay people but when I brought one of my openly gay friends she loves him. I genuinely don't think she know what gay people are really are.

[heavy ivy]

they often run together sadly

[radiant lake]

yeah :\

[glass wigeon]

hmm ive killed 200 monsters so far

[last spoke]

I mean, most of those types wouldn't tell the difference to begin with, they don't hate someone because they're gay or because they're disabled, they hate someone because they're different

[radiant lake]

man if only i was like 5 years younger then i wouldnt have been bullied anywhere near as badly in high school for my interests (like all the people i still knew from high school afterward who had previously thought anime was cringe or whatever turned out to become fans)

still kinda miffed anime only became more normalized After i became a shut-in

[ivory grail]

Call them weebs

[strange spruce]

i remember being in school and most of my mates were basically fully against them despite never having met any before

or having any negative experiences etc

[strange spruce]

post covid everyone fucking hopped on the bandwagon lol

[last spoke]

"A guy who likes a guy? Ewwww"
And their thought process terminates there, that's the only opinion they seem capable of

[radiant lake]

fcuk

[last spoke]

That's the trauma :)

[strange spruce]

that was half a decade ago

[radiant lake]

i think my brains a little more fried from the last few days than i thought

[ivory grail]

Mine genuinely didn't care if you were gay he rarely got bullied and when he did we beat the living shit out of him since our school did the zero policy of bullying and fighting so when they start a fight it a literally attempt murder.

[strange spruce]

dude i remember catching it and i could barely walk lol

[radiant lake]

whoops

[strange spruce]

i had to like lean against the walls of my home to get me water

[ivory grail]

Broke a chair over that asshole, he turn out better at the end of high school though. So he alright now I guess

[strange spruce]

it was cozy af after half a week i was just sat down warm at my pc playing payday 2 with some guy that i never heard from again after i recovered

[ivory grail]

Covid was like cozy for the first month and half afterward I started losing it

[heavy ivy]

given 2019 is the cutoff for most of our immediate memories its even more jarring

[strange spruce]

The only two classmates we still even know anymore are one guy that's since moved down south that we reconnected with last year, that during school we didn't really get along with, but now we're pretty chill
And another that's actually our colleague
She's so fucking swag though, again, we never really got along during school, but one day I was helping her out carrying a box, she thanks us by our deadname because we literally hadn't told her we have a new one yet, so "Oh also I go by Max now"
And she goes "Oh alright" and hasn't slipped up once

[radiant lake]

hell yeah

[ivory grail]

I could've left anytime but I didn't because my mother immune system is weak. I didn't want to risk it

[strange spruce]

i only really made like one friend from school and its that guy i was trynna sneak out to meet lol

[last spoke]

Later this year we're gonna make it legal

[strange spruce]

rest just kinda disappeared

[radiant lake]

i havent talked to like,m anyone from my graduating class except for one person. ngl i should ask her about some people i used to be friends with cuz im curious but idk if she's kept in contact with anyone

And like. i was a fuckign embarassment of a teenager ngl

[ivory grail]

Literally when I finished highschool I dropped like 80% of my friends group. I just kept the good ones

[last spoke]

A few weeks back I found out that like 3 of our old classmates have kids

[heavy ivy]

unfprtunately gonna prolly be stuck with our deadname for a while because passport and other papers already filed but hopefully in the further future

[radiant lake]

genuinely my plan was to go to art school and never come back

[last spoke]

Like, sure, we're 23 now, that's not insane

[strange spruce]

[ivory grail]

I'm an introvert but I pushed myself so hard that I had like 5 large friends group I was in. It was so mentally exhausting

[last spoke]

But also like WHAT

[heavy ivy]

[strange spruce]

[last spoke]

[ivory grail]

Two of my friends left the shit hole of my town and they refuse to come down. They to afraid of coming back they gladly accept me crashing on there couch for a couple days vs coming down to visit me and the others

[radiant lake]

thats so fair

i would LOVE to leave this place for good

[last spoke]

Same

Unfortunately this is literally the only place we've been able to get employment

[ivory grail]

I genuinely don't blame them. I'm literally just became an CCMA i'm half way thru my plan to leave this town.

If I keep to the plan I be out in an year

I just gonna get an job at one of the hospital and I can use connection there to get an job in Columbus. I would live in a city which will sucks but. I can use that to push myself thru becoming an RN.

An college dorm is way to expensive for such a small room

yall are awesome thank u

[plush cobalt]

I don't know what this half life thing is but video games are rotting the brains of our youths

Me personally I think we should ban these “games” and make kids do what they did in my day: read Book, do Sport, and get peer pressured into smoking cigarettes

[fathom oasis]

Don't forget walking to school uphill, both to and from school

[plush cobalt]

In the snow, rain, and blazing heat all at once

[fathom oasis]

And not once complaining
