[humble marsh]

[sleek coral]

Slanderular Gleam.

[humble marsh]

give them a potion of freezing, screw them

[sleek coral]

Good night @magic estuary 👋

[elder shale]

Ok that was fun

[night bobcat]

Yeah

[humble marsh]

I'm gonna give evil genius a try

this game better not be shit

[night bobcat]

Well

Gl

[elder shale]

I need some Display Port cables

So I can actually use my second monitor

I didn't think to check whether the GPU only had one HDMI port or more

Gonna buy tomorrow

[hallow isle]

did you know

[primal kelp]

surprised your 2nd monitor didnt come with a dp cable

[hallow isle]

display port and HDMI are the same cable

[elder shale]

They both came with

HDMI cables

uh

no they're not

[primal kelp]

weird

[hallow isle]

yes they are

only the connector is different

[primal kelp]

mine came with both

[elder shale]

DP port is L shaped

[hallow isle]

that's a connector

[spare harbor]

Mine came with both too and its a old monitor

[hallow isle]

the cable is the same

[elder shale]

Adam you're aggravating me, I don't have a DP CONNECTOR then

[hallow isle]

DP and HDMI are 100% electrically compatible

[hallow isle]

just solder the pins by hand smh

[primal kelp]

just bend the hdmi port into a L shape

easy

[spare harbor]

Oh lord, if shira could hear me laughing at that

[elder shale]

Bending metal is not easy when you have noodle arms

Or just arms in general

[primal kelp]

have you tried not having noodle arms

sounds like a skill issue tbh

[elder shale]

This is why we have ✨ metallurgy ✨

[humble marsh]

code doesn't even lift

[eternal thorn]

Bro just bend the metal, dont be weak

[elder shale]

I lift Freya

Best exercise

[humble marsh]

she's a small bean

[hallow isle]

smallest of beans

[elder shale]

I was gonnna make a more raunchy joke but I think my gf doesn't weigh as much as Freya does

jk

[eternal thorn]

[elder shale]

Freya's fat ok

She got a belly

[hallow isle]

I like how codevasco just casually drops he has a new GF like no one is going to care

[elder shale]

Yes

Not work this time, I learned that lesson

[night bobcat]

I met her

[elder shale]

Uh

[night bobcat]

It's temp

[hallow isle]

https://tenor.com/view/hand-gif-8584967

[elder shale]

What

[elder shale]

Christ, that emoji's terrible quality

[eternal thorn]

Anyone ever bend only their fingertips

[hallow isle]

yes, that's one of my physio excercises, in fact

[bold island]

I should try to drum like that sometime.

[hallow isle]

bend my fingertips without bending my finger not-tips

[elder shale]

https://tenor.com/view/lackoffaith-disturbing-darthvader-starwars-gif-4883104

[eternal thorn]

How far can you overlap your ring finger with your pinky finger

[elder shale]

Um

[hallow isle]

like, move my pinky sideways? barely nothing

like 1/4

[night bobcat]

Completely, if I move it with the other hand

crack

[hallow isle]

oh yeah if I do that I can touch my thumb with it

[eternal thorn]

No I mean

Wrap your ring finger around your pinky

[primal kelp]

why

[hallow isle]

i cannot do that

[night bobcat]

Like crossing your pointer and middle?

[hallow isle]

even with my other hand involved

[night bobcat]

Yeah I can do that

[eternal thorn]

Weak

[elder shale]

Nice desk

[primal kelp]

can i steal the stapler

[hallow isle]

My friend, have you ever heard of Ehler-Danlos syndrome?

[eternal thorn]

It's a shitty stapler go ahead

[humble marsh]

I can't believe ceryn owns a stapler

[eternal thorn]

I dont

[night bobcat]

He doesn't

[eternal thorn]

This is my work desk

[eternal thorn]

No

[humble marsh]

Then why did you bring your stapler to your work desk

[eternal thorn]

A syndrome doesn't apply here

[elder shale]

I tried?

[hallow isle]

I'm only kinda half joking because EDS can cause migraines, digestive issues and joint hypermobility

[eternal thorn]

My pinky knuckle was broken once and bends down by about 20⁰ because the med staff never actually took care of it

So I have the advantage of more range

[hallow isle]

oh ok that explains it then because that was not normal

[sterile tartan]

I can't even move my pinky without my ring finger tagging along

[elder shale]

Is mine normal

[hallow isle]

yes

[elder shale]

Damn

Can't be a special lad like Ceryn

[eternal thorn]

Ngl I thought that hand only had 3 fingers

[hallow isle]

I get about the same except on my left hand I can't keep them crossed

[elder shale]

Having three digits would be cool but I type with all my fingers & I type fast

It would be a problem

[elder shale]

Silver linin: less typos

lining

[hallow isle]

I mean you do kinda look like the poster child for marfan syndrome but they usually check kids for that

[elder shale]

Lmao

[elder shale]

Um

Marfan syndrome spoopy

[lament knot]

Why are we crossing our fingers?

[elder shale]

Thank you Gleam, very nice

[eternal thorn]

I can also change the color of my fingers on a whim

[elder shale]

I'm bored a

[elder shale]

Stop squeezing

You're suffocating the little beans

[hallow isle]

also not normal

do they do that when it's cold too?

[eternal thorn]

No

Also notice my ring finger

[night bobcat]

You need new ones

[eternal thorn]

It has two hairs on it

Exactly two

[hallow isle]

wtf

why do you have hair on your second phalanx

[spare harbor]

Very interesting hands

[elder shale]

Thank you

I grew them myself somehow

[night bobcat]

Werewolf

[eternal thorn]

Dunno but I pull them off now and then

Because I can

[hallow isle]

I mean I haven't extensively studied hands but I've never seen hair there before, outside of people who just grow hair all over

[elder shale]

Fuck it, Elden Ring time

[eternal thorn]

I mean I already have hairy hands, it's not surprising

[elder shale]

Time to do a build I haven't done before

[hallow isle]

holy shit there's a wikipedia page for it

[elder shale]

@humble marsh Was it you that played ER a lot

[hallow isle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midphalangeal_hair

[eternal thorn]

Two Hair Ring Finger Fore-Phalanx Syndrome?

[hallow isle]

Ceryn is a confirmed mutant

[humble marsh]

No

[primal kelp]

dont think anyone here was an er nut

[limber fractal]

new phone who dis

[eternal thorn]

Not to brag but I recently managed to pop my forefinger

[night bobcat]

middigital hair

[eternal thorn]

It's usually just my knuckles

[primal kelp]

why are you trying to break your hands

[lament knot]

It’s fun

[hallow isle]

I can crack every single mobile joint in my body (and a couple of immobile ones too, like my sternum)

[humble marsh]

I think barbwire played a lot of er

[lament knot]

I’ll crack my fingers too…. Even my toes

[night bobcat]

I can crack all your joints

[limber fractal]

You crack them dad jokes that's what

[night bobcat]

Who what

[sleek coral]

Lol

[hallow isle]

fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulder, neck, atlas, back, sacrum, hip, knee, ankle, toes, can get metatarsals and metacarpals if I squeeze them, sternum, and ribs

[eternal thorn]

If you wrap a rubber band around your wrist you can become Thanos

[sterile tartan]

Small pinky syndrome

[hallow isle]

middle finger making up for it tho

[night bobcat]

Lol

[sterile tartan]

Weird finger lengths syndrome

[limber fractal]

So friggin cute

[sterile tartan]

[limber fractal]

Oh you Gandalf now?

[night bobcat]

[hallow isle]

i think your pinky is normal sized it just looks small because its set further down than standard factory issue

[limber fractal]

Will take a while to grow that beard

[sterile tartan]

That makes sense actually

[eternal thorn]

My pinky reaches further than my ring finger, and I can prove it

[sterile tartan]

@silent wagon the factory manufactured my hand weird

[primal kelp]

your pinky does look small the middle part does look shorter

[sterile tartan]

My pinky toes are stupid too but I won't show those

[hallow isle]

Someone should go find my forearm reveal

[primal kelp]

yeah gleam would go too wild

[hallow isle]

[eternal thorn]

[primal kelp]

[maiden seal]

[lament knot]

Are we comparing the sizes of our cucumbers now?

[primal kelp]

[spare harbor]

This is tiny compared to a full grown cuke

[maiden seal]

[bold island]

What's the best way to make cukes.

[hallow isle]

I did indeed not use it all, they aren't normally that big

[primal kelp]

yeah i cant think of any diah that would use up all of it

[lament knot]

This one is bigger than usual?

[primal kelp]

i dont cook with cucumber tho

[spare harbor]

Oh shush, you should see the serpent cukes

[hallow isle]

You don't cook it.

[bold island]

How does on make breading from scratch.

[primal kelp]

[hallow isle]

@night blade told me

[primal kelp]

[hallow isle]

[primal kelp]

[sterile tartan]

I tried eggplant one time and didn't like it

[lament knot]

Bruh we were comparing sizes of cucumbers and now we’re talking about eggplants 😭 wtf

[primal kelp]

only have a head of broccoli

[hallow isle]

time to touch grass then

[primal kelp]

i love eggplants

could just be how it was cooked

my mom used to make them so good

could just eat rice and eggplants for a meal and be happy

[eternal thorn]

Ah fuck

I am old

[sterile tartan]

Possibly
I would try it again but I'm not going to go out of my way to try it

[eternal thorn]

Pulled something trying to stretch my arm

Now my back hurts

[primal kelp]

think my back always hurts

[sterile tartan]

Mine does too

[eternal thorn]

Well right now it's just a specific spot between my shoulder blades. Definitely pulled something there

[primal kelp]

if you ever eat at a proper chinese restaurant order the eggplant if they have it

[eternal thorn]

Fuck, hurt a lot just turning to look right

What the fuck

[primal kelp]

dont turn right

[hallow isle]

@night bobcat Ceryn just aged up

[primal kelp]

just turn left a long way to look right

[inland grotto]

[lament knot]

I heard old people can get scammed easily. Oh btw I have 1,000,000 dollars waiting for you! I just need you to DM me all of your credit card information and I swill send the money (I am going to state that this is a joke so I don’t get banned)

[eternal thorn]

@night bobcat ban plz

[primal kelp]

[night bobcat]

[lament knot]

Ban me and you miss out on your opportunity to win 1 mill

[inland grotto]

Yeah. Spicy eggplant!

[primal kelp]

eggplant in garlic sauce really

[sterile tartan]

Carefully keep looking right to stretch it
And maybe use a heat compress or something if you have it

[primal kelp]

its just really good

[inland grotto]

Huh.

[primal kelp]

dont think she makes it spicy

[night bobcat]

Ah, has reached another level, nice

[hearty oxide]

Hello.

[primal kelp]

[lament knot]

Hello

[hallow isle]

Let's buy him a box of ibuprofen to celebrate

Gonna need them

[primal kelp]

[eternal thorn]

Yes

[hallow isle]

if you're lucky

[primal kelp]

pls no

[hallow isle]

could be 28/29

[eternal thorn]

It's my body's way of telling me how old I am

Will be 30 in 2 months

[lament knot]

This seems safe!

[hallow isle]

I even know someone who's 27 that's looking at getting spinal disks fused

[sterile tartan]

I'm 27 with chronic pain

[slender quartz]

Man, you guys are old.

[lament knot]

Holy shit you are old

[eternal thorn]

Need to start working out now
I need to reach Baki levels of fitness so that my body doesn't decide to hurt for sitting the wrong way

[lament knot]

I mean… you are still very young and have a long life ahead of you

[primal kelp]

[hallow isle]

[eternal thorn]

Yujiro is in his 40s

[lament knot]

Does that mean you’re dead?

[eternal thorn]

And built like 10 trains

[hallow isle]

nope! just wish it some mornings

[tardy juniper]

in warframe terms, I'm Legendary 17

[primal kelp]

oncoming traffic looks nice sometimes

[slender quartz]

Heh. I'm almost as old as Ceryn and Spirit put together.

And I feel dead.

[eternal thorn]

Dudes a grandpa

[lament knot]

Can’t tell if I should be laughing at this or if I should be sad that people wish they were dead at the age of 34

[slender quartz]

That's actually a little late for most folks.

[eternal thorn]

Just the depression talking, I can relate

[primal kelp]

same

[tardy juniper]

I'm just everyone's crazy stoner aunt at 47

[undone moat]

man.

[eternal thorn]

Damn that's older than 46

[lament knot]

Wtf?? Does that mean I’m gonna wish I’m dead in a couple years here???!?

[undone moat]

24

[hallow isle]

definitely laughing

[undone moat]

I thought I felt old

guess not

[slender quartz]

Possibly?

[lament knot]

Fuck… I wish I was dead

[tardy juniper]

That all depends on how well you take care of your body

[hallow isle]

somewhat

I'm a careful owner

Didn't help

[tardy juniper]

I was in my 40s before I felt the effects of age

[hallow isle]

tendons staged a revolt

[eternal thorn]

Depression has a way of preventing me from taking care of my body

[slender quartz]

I've hit "screw this world, I want off" more than once.

[tardy juniper]

but now I'm developing arthritis 😭

[hallow isle]

rarely drink, don't smoke, healthy weight

[tardy juniper]

so I play video games all day between house chores and loving my wife

I'm gonna try eating a salad, see what happens

why touch grass when you can eat it?

[lament knot]

Salad is very yummy

[inland grotto]

I like salds.

Oo, level up!

[primal kelp]

they removed split screen from the series s

so now they can move up the date

coming this year

[tardy juniper]

fools

[humble marsh]

I thought they announced a specific date

[hallow isle]

doesn't look like we interacted before may, was concerned that you were someone I knew and I'd just completely overlooked it!

[tardy juniper]

They could have done that before and released at the same time as PC, but no, instead as a console player, i have to suffer spoilers about the game everywhere

[sterile tartan]

Just says "before the end of 2023" lol

[humble marsh]

ah

[primal kelp]

been having fun in this game

[humble marsh]

you said it's like rimworld, where's all the blood

[primal kelp]

no blood

its less of that aspect

its not as violent

[humble marsh]

looks like fun

what's it called again?

[primal kelp]

necesse

its in early acess so theres still features that get added

they finally added in party members so you can go out of settlement with a raid group

why do you have a buzz lightyear mug

[elder shale]

I don't have large glasses and I don't want to refill

[hallow isle]

why don't you have a buzz lightyear mug

[night blade]

@hallow isle what's up with those 3 mentions

[primal kelp]

bc im not that into toy story

[tardy juniper]

the Lightyear movie was kinda dark

[hallow isle]

which three

[night blade]

about Shira's taste and other things

[sterile tartan]

Still using the mimikyu one

[hallow isle]

this would require me to remember

[night blade]

yo i really feel an old idiot

[night blade]

so you see your brain

[hallow isle]

however

based on previous experience of being me

probably pointless vaguely amusing bullshit

[humble marsh]

gromit mug gromit mug

[night blade]

qlright

[tardy juniper]

I just use mason jars

[sterile tartan]

Also the other side of my mug has the Pokedex entry

[pale meadow]

I have a cup that is older than some kids lol

[hallow isle]

there are kids that are 0 minutes old so that is quite likely

[sterile tartan]

I have a teddy bear older than all current kids

[pale meadow]

True, I have had it over ten years 😅

[night blade]

it has to be kinda unhinged, actually

[hallow isle]

Not many people have the mental fortitude required to be me

[night blade]

Don't worry

[pale meadow]

Nor do we wish to /s

[night blade]

it was that super game that everyone liked, Vasco?

[hallow isle]

Mario?

[night blade]

so you wish?

[pale meadow]

I do not

[night blade]

Brain says "Elfen Lied", but i know it isn't

Elden RIngs ?

[maiden seal]

like, wallace and gromit?

[hallow isle]

@night blade they let me have entonox at the hospital yesterday and I got so high I lost the ability to talk for a minute

[pale meadow]

Hahaha

[night blade]

serious

because of your Coeliac stuff going on ?

[hallow isle]

ya

and ya

[pale meadow]

Your what

[tardy juniper]

Celiac sucks as much as crohn's

[night blade]

Celiac it is in English

okay

[pale meadow]

I can only offer support

[hallow isle]

Confirmed not crohns or colitis, so that's good

[tardy juniper]

Don't look at me for spelling

[pale meadow]

Thank you for clarification

[tardy juniper]

especially medical condition spellings, except Crohn's cuz I have that

[hallow isle]

but yeah, was puffing on the gas and air

and realised

I couldn't feel my teeth any more

[eternal thorn]

I can't feel your teeth either, relatable

[pale meadow]

Did you ask them to turn it down?

[hallow isle]

self administered, I did it to myself

[pale meadow]

Hahaha

[hallow isle]

Just laid there and hoped it wore off before the doctor noticed that I was unconscious

(it did)

[pale meadow]

Hahaha

[night blade]

so this is why you were silent here

[hallow isle]

yes, was out all afternoon

then went to bed early

[pale meadow]

Understandable

[hallow isle]

s'good stuff but I don't see why the kids abuse it

Didn't seem to alter my mental state, just made me feel like I'd melted into the bed

[night blade]

that's why

[bold island]

what stuff?

[hallow isle]

Entonox

Nitrous Oxide

[night blade]

that stuff

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-hysterically-evil-laugh-crash-bandicoot-nitros-nitrous-oxide-gif-15538116

[bold island]

lol

[hallow isle]

@dusty magnet have you ever been so high you weren't able to speak any more

[sterile tartan]

I was put completely out for my wisdom teeth removal

[pale meadow]

So was I

[hallow isle]

They offered me that, but I declined it. Shit to do, can't be sat around for 24h waiting for it to wear off.

[sterile tartan]

I didn't get an option
Hmph

[spiral zephyr]

I had an extra tooth removed
Just got local and gas for that

[cursive agate]

https://tenor.com/view/gmod-ragdoll-video-game-video-game-gif-20573521

[pale meadow]

Ot wore off like 20 minutes after from what I remember, it's been over 15 years for me

[sterile tartan]

They were all impacted and they had to work around braces so maybe that's part of why they didn't ask

[spiral zephyr]

Fun

[sterile tartan]

I was 18 I think
Pretty sure

[night blade]

how old are you

[sterile tartan]

27

[pale meadow]

I was 16🤔

You'll be conscious quickly after they stop it but it affects your mental state for up to a full day, and there's a chance you'll suddenly stop breathing after a general anasthetic, so you're supposed to not drive and have someone observing you for 24h

[sterile tartan]

May have been 17 which would explain why I wouldn't have the option...

[slender quartz]

I had my wisdom teeth taken out in pairs, two years apart. Impacted, with the roots twisted up.

Tooth epic

[hallow isle]

If you've got teeth I've got pliers and a bottle of entonox right here.

[pale meadow]

Do you have a back alley?

[hallow isle]

No an ambulance response car

[slender quartz]

We'll have to chew it over again later.

[pale meadow]

I thought that's highly regulated in the UK? There chill factors is 0 from what I remember🤔

[hallow isle]

It is, but we're allowed it on ambulance vehicles cause we're licensed and trained

[tardy juniper]

What if your teeth only got hard when you're hungry?

[pale meadow]

So all the time then?

[dusty magnet]

Many times.

Words just simply cease to exist

[hallow isle]

Oh I still had words

I just couldn't transfer them from brain to mouth

[pale meadow]

Yes

[night blade]

[spiral zephyr]

Pork belly is like candy, but porcine

[slender quartz]

Thunder survives on a diet of strained oatmeal and room temperature tap water.

[night blade]

Hey Hot Stuff, @limber fractal, I'll cook pork belly with teriyaki sauce, that'll be reall spicy

[spiral zephyr]

Breatharians, smh my head

[outer quiver]

oatmeal sucks

[steady vale]

No rage, just a lil depressed that he thought that was okay.

[night blade]

I am used to the smoked one, for once it won't be smoked, I am curious

[outer quiver]

what is teriyaki?

[night blade]

something you won't like

[slender quartz]

The Demon Flavor. You must not consume.

I used to hang out at a coffee shop all the time. But I can't cuz it's halfway across town
I'm replacing the feeling with hanging at the boba shop

The shop has mint green and pink ones now

They cost twice the price of my drink though and I can't do that rn

[pale meadow]

[urban kestrel]

[wet pollen]

[hallow isle]

I think

I have fixed windows

or at least it's taking a very long time to fail

[pale meadow]

How so?

[hallow isle]

A former employee managed to uninstall (not disable, uninstall) defender from a windows server system

[pale meadow]

I might do a wipe and reinstall this weekend

[opaque tartan]

Open mic

@sleek coral

[hallow isle]

You can't just reinstall it, because there is no installer. You need an ISO with a matching version and build number

and have to re-add the components one by one

problem: microsoft don't publish new ISO's with updates

[pale meadow]

I am on Win 10 mate

[hallow isle]

so you have to get the ISO, unpack it, and rebuild it yourself, with the updates included on the ISO

and I think, after much tweaking and retrying

[wet pollen]

@pale meadow Adam is talkin' about this

[pale meadow]

I am aware

[hallow isle]

it's finally got the right version and it's actually reimporting defender

[pale meadow]

Just wow

[night blade]

me when I see a pretty woman

[hallow isle]

if I'd have known it was this much trouble I'd have rolled them up in carpet and threw them in the canal while they still worked here

[pale meadow]

Nah, canal would be to good for them

[hallow isle]

don't even know why they did it

we were running a different AV back then

but you don't need to uninstall the thing

[spiral zephyr]

[pale meadow]

Blame azure and move on

this is all on-prem

[night blade]

I think I'll pull an all-nighter today

but moving only with crutches, it seems really risky

[urban kestrel]

I would like to thank Nongshim, Nissim, and Maruchan for making being unemployed slightly less awful

[night blade]

who are they

[urban kestrel]

Various brands which produce various serving sizes of instant ramen

[pale meadow]

Ah

[night blade]

Ha

[urban kestrel]

Look I have learned to love saltines, cheese, ramen, and hot pockets (though hot pockets are a hell of a luxury)

And also cheap beer. NATTY DADDYYYYYY.

[pale meadow]

That helps

Are you at least looking for work?

@urban kestrel

[urban kestrel]

Yes indeed

I'm in software, and the job market in the United States for software developers is pretty crap right now

Companies aren't really going to be hiring until September/October, and there are always layoffs in June. This was my last cycle, unfortunately.

[pale meadow]

Dame

[urban kestrel]

Here's hoping for a new job very soon, and hoping to not get laid off due to lack of funding.

[pale meadow]

🙏

[urban kestrel]

My last company kinda fucked us over; we had all been told that there was really good interest from investors for a second round, and that we were going to be profitable "soon". Then, one Monday, they laid off all of engineering, telling us that investors actually weren't interested and that money was too tight to pay our salaries.

I'd have rather had two or three months to find a job while still getting paid, yaknow? Like, I don't mind if the company is going under, just be upfront about it and tell us in advance so we aren't without income instantaneously

[pale meadow]

I get entirely

[urban kestrel]

And, because that company was <10 employees, getting laid off without notice or much severance was perfectly legal.

Basically, if you're thinking about working at startups: fucking don't.

[pale meadow]

Noted

[bold island]

what kind of things do you do?

What kind of engineer are you?

[urban kestrel]

Software engineer

[jovial dragon]

I'm sorry.

[bold island]

Oh nice.

[urban kestrel]

Mostly various backend things, some frontend

And data analysis/Google Analytics gopher

[urban kestrel]

C'est la vie! Hence why I'm genuinely considering enlisting

[bold island]

I wish I could do database stuff. I was getting a 2 year in Computer Information Systems, but dropped a freaking gain.

[spiral zephyr]

@night blade are you familiar with "buta no kakuni"?

[jovial dragon]

Enlisting....?

[urban kestrel]

Air Force most likely

[jovial dragon]

Oh, what country?

[urban kestrel]

Good ol USA

[jovial dragon]

Ay, nice.

[urban kestrel]

I've aged out of the Israeli military so womp

[jovial dragon]

Aged out?

[pale meadow]

Yep

[urban kestrel]

Israeli military doesn't really take people over 25/26

[jovial dragon]

The hell age is it

What the fuck?

[urban kestrel]

They have a whole country of conscripts

[jovial dragon]

Explains some things.....

[urban kestrel]

Like 19 year olds being tank commanders?

[pale meadow]

From what I recall, all citizens must do unless you are physically unable to. Someone explained it to me a long time ago

[jovial dragon]

Someting like that....

[sterile tartan]

Max age in US to enlist is 42

[jovial dragon]

Depends on the branch.

[urban kestrel]

I'm not even a citizen, but I qualify because Jewish

[jovial dragon]

Air Force is 39.

[urban kestrel]

Right so I've got 13 good years left in me for the US

But they'd probably bar me because of all the drugs I used to do

[spiral zephyr]

Arab citizens are voluntary iirc

[urban kestrel]

Yup!

[jovial dragon]

What kind?

[urban kestrel]

Shitload of cocaine

[jovial dragon]

When?

[pale meadow]

You are probably right. It's was like 15 years ago lol

[jovial dragon]

Not to be nosy.

[spiral zephyr]

Worst pun

[jovial dragon]

Bruh

Oh my god

[urban kestrel]

Ages 23 to 25

[jovial dragon]

Is it...on record?

[eternal thorn]

[urban kestrel]

My old therapist has it in notes

[jovial dragon]

Then say nothing.

I'd de check your medical records though.

[urban kestrel]

But also if I'm going to join the military I'd reaaaaalllyyyy like to go for O-1 off the bat

[sterile tartan]

I don't think they need to know unless it's recent or current use

[jovial dragon]

^

MEPS can be a real....bitch.

Especially with Genesis.

[urban kestrel]

I've heard recruiters tend to tell people to lie

[jovial dragon]

But if it is not on active record, they don't need to know about it?

They do.

[urban kestrel]

Especially with weed

[jovial dragon]

Because they wan't to help you.

It seems stinky, to lie, and...well...it is.

[urban kestrel]

I'm actually uh... Not allergic but, generally unable to safely process THC or CBD

[jovial dragon]

It isn't really lying...but....not being forthcoming.

[urban kestrel]

So that's not an issue for me

[urban kestrel]

Look I do think that weed shouldn't be disqualifying if it's like, "use socially on weekends" or even "use at night to sleep"

But I understand that USM is federal and therefore...

[jovial dragon]

That isn't why.

Even if it wa legal, it would still be banned.

They will court marshal you over it.

[urban kestrel]

Woof

[jovial dragon]

Or....they can.

[urban kestrel]

It's possible but how likely if not affecting work performance

[jovial dragon]

It can.

For someone like me especially.

[urban kestrel]

It can affect work performance? Certainly!

[spiral zephyr]

Weed prohibition is so dumb in light of legal alcohol lol

[urban kestrel]

I do not deny that

[jovial dragon]

It can get someone killed. Hence why they are so strict about it.

Alcohol, funnily enough they don't care.

They do random drug tests too.

[urban kestrel]

And unless you're in an active warzone, I do not think an edible before bed should be an issue

Don't be intoxicated on any job ever

Though now I'm curious what is considered "on the job" for military

[jovial dragon]

Always.

[urban kestrel]

Ah, that's a different problem.

For users, I mean.

[jovial dragon]

Regulations, for example, must be upheld, even outside of work.

[urban kestrel]

I remember UCMJ

(and flag code)

[jovial dragon]

Keep it that way.

You'll last longer.

[urban kestrel]

Heh

[spiral zephyr]

Lol

[jovial dragon]

Serious.

[urban kestrel]

I was one of the kids at my high school who raised an issue with the head of school for violating flag code - Jewish school, Israeli flag at the same level as American flag

[jovial dragon]

People who show respect for the uniform, the service, the people, the regulations, show ledership, other...bullshit.

Get noticed.

When you do, get promotions.

I'm on track for E9 by the end of this year.

[urban kestrel]

Get dat moneyyyyy

Also 🫡

[jovial dragon]

Not so high and mighty, I'm only replacing someone else who is retiring.

They need the young folks to step up. My name was on the shortlist, apparently.

[mint spear]

good evening

[urban kestrel]

Welcomeeeeee

[jovial dragon]

They are kinda desperate, actually.

Command Chief Master Seargent has a nice ring to it, though.

[urban kestrel]

Desperate enough to pay over 90k/year?

[jovial dragon]

I make that already.

U.S Air Force is severely short staffed.

[mint spear]

had an excellent nap today.
how are yall

[urban kestrel]

Because I'd hop over to my local AF recruiting center for 90k with potential for more

[jovial dragon]

UH, well, doesn't really work that way.

You can enlist as a 2nd Lt if you have a degree.

I was one briefly.

Cake eating is not my style.

[urban kestrel]

College dropout

[spiral zephyr]

Killing time waiting for the painters to finish lol

[jovial dragon]

Damn, sorry to hear that.

Yeah, you'd have to work your way up naturally.

[urban kestrel]

But if there are OC tests which work in lieu of a degree, I'd take em

[jovial dragon]

Or....get in, get degree, then become an officer.

You'd outrank me, even.

Uh, technically.

[mint spear]

exciting 🫠

[urban kestrel]

I'd have to finish 12 credits

Though I doubt my "alma mater" takes GI Bill

[jovial dragon]

Hey I mean....

O1 makes a lot.

One second, I can check.

Starts at $71k a year.

Thats with no TIS.

[urban kestrel]

That's... Half my last salary

[jovial dragon]

So?

[urban kestrel]

But not a bad gig I suppose

[jovial dragon]

We don't make shit.

But we pocket 99% of that.

You got all these bills.

Military covers half of them, at least.

Least all the major ones.

[urban kestrel]

If the US military paid half my NYC rent I'd uh, probably cry

[jovial dragon]

Accrding to the PMC, I make $92k at the moment.

[spiral zephyr]

The people I know who were smart about their military careers seem to be living very comfortably

[jovial dragon]

Not sure how accurate that actually is.

As an e9....

$41,000?

Huh?

That ain't right, obviously.

[mint spear]

after transfer from Osaka my family literally drove from Minot to Palm Beach area just to save money

they seem comfortable but they also try to not waste money
that was my impression anyway. theyd been in Japan for years

didnt know them well

[jovial dragon]

Website is fucked.

Maybe try putting in my PDS?

Okay now it says 28

fucking goverment man

[urban kestrel]

So there is, in fact, no one correct figure other than what you end up seeing on your paycheck

[mint spear]

we were hanging out in St Lucie

it was a little weird having cousins in america who only speak japanese but interesting

[jovial dragon]

Yeah, but they do have a calculator.

https://militarypay.defense.gov/calculators/rmc-calculator/

It usually works, eh, mostly.

It at least gives you an idea what you'd make if you are intersted.

Is a good job though, I like it.

[urban kestrel]

Honestly this ain't bad given the housing allowance

[jovial dragon]

Yeah.

Based on what I know, seems mostly accurate.

[maiden seal]

All of my Uncles were military.

[jovial dragon]

We don't make a lot, but the benefits make up for it.

[urban kestrel]

More than - besides Tricare being (iirc) garbage sometimes, those allowances are ridiculous

[jovial dragon]

garbage how?

Mine is nice.

$40/month.

Covers um, everything?

[urban kestrel]

Dated someone who was a dependent and basically had no coverage for very specialty meds

[jovial dragon]

The hell?

[urban kestrel]

Think compounding pharmacy meds

[maiden seal]

One Marine, One Navy Medic and was in Afghanistan with Marines, and one Air Force.

[jovial dragon]

That is strange.

[maiden seal]

pretty cool uncles

[jovial dragon]

I was in Afghanistan when everything went to shit.

[mint spear]

i have a generation of older cousins in army and air force

[jovial dragon]

That was a fun time.

[urban kestrel]

My grandad was Navy (so, thank god, I get USAA)

[maiden seal]

He’s told me a few stories

[spiral zephyr]

Tripler Army Med Ctr here is often referred to as Crippler lol

[maiden seal]

I know damn well there’s more though

I don’t ask

[jovial dragon]

I would of gone Navy.

Air Force was easier.

Probably would of ended up a SEAL, to be honest.

[urban kestrel]

Am I allowed to make a Chair Force joke? :p

[jovial dragon]

Which isn't far off from what I do now.

[jovial dragon]

Why not? I do.

[maiden seal]

lol

[urban kestrel]

Just wanted to check. My marine friends are always chill with crayon eater jokes, but the AF friends are... Touchy sometimes

[mint spear]

theyre cool except for asking your weight in front of everyone if you gain a few pounds from your cozy city life lol

[jovial dragon]

Fuck em'.

nerds.

[spiral zephyr]

My cousin just retired from NOAA/NWS
He flew hurricane hunters for most of his career, which doesn't seem much safer than the "actual" military lol

[mint spear]

not just asking my weight, bringing a scale

[jovial dragon]

What the point if you cannot make fun of yourself?

[urban kestrel]

Says the nerd

[jovial dragon]

Depends on who you ask.

[jovial dragon]

Honestly?

I wouldn't even be mad.

That would like based as hell.

[mint spear]

yeah on the day my plane landed

[maiden seal]

my uncle cant even talk

he has a beer belly like hell now

[jovial dragon]

I have dark humor though.

I find shit funny that others....may....not.

One day I'll have a dad bod.

[mint spear]

😂

[jovial dragon]

With two kids, bound to happen eventually.

[maiden seal]

literally my uncle

rip

[jovial dragon]

rip

[maiden seal]

his bod is dadified

[jovial dragon]

Not me.

Not yet anyway.

Wait untill I'm in my late 30s, then I'll be set for that lol.

[mint spear]

Kevin Bacon still doesnt have a dad bod

i was watching that ||Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas|| special and hes still in great shape

[urban kestrel]

Ive had powerlifter dad bod since I was 21

So that food I was upset about actually ended up dodging a bullet.
