Lol sorry for late response. I added sriracha sauce, pepper flakes, and a bit of soy sauce

clever vessel
#

Oh nice additions

#

If you haven't before, a mushroom or 2 and an egg are also nice

#

Adding an egg in ramen is delicious.

#

No mushrooms for me, though.

They absorb the flavors really well

that's higher than what my network is capped at

Hmm... I kinda wanna be a wildland firefighter ngl

I know. But it sounds like a super cool kob

Job

open bane

i'm sure it's extremely rewarding too

dusty magnet
#

Exactly

#

Both mentally, physically, and the one I'm looking at pays pretty well

#

Min of $17/hr with no experience

open bane
#

What sort of training do you go through?

dusty magnet
#

It's a 40 hour course to get certified, then you have to pass a physical exam

#

Which I assume is similar to the CPAT

open bane
#

I guess worst case is you get a cool training

dusty magnet
#

V true

#

Plus an excuse to get into shape

open bane
#

yeah exactly lol

dusty magnet
#

I am not in shape lol

open bane
#

I feel like some people do boot camp to get in shape and regret it

dusty magnet
#

Yeah. I think this may be a better way of doing it

#

Plus firefighting has always sounded way cool to me

#

I really need a full time job tho. Feels hard to find one that pays enough with little experience tho

mint spear
#

The only career path I've ever had any interest in, if you can call it a career, is being a writer.
Short of that, I've only had vague ideas and feelings about things. Computer hardware, for example - it's one of my main points of interest, and I build PCs as a hobby. I've always kinda wanted to learn how to create hardware, but that's a foggy pathway with lots of uncertainty. Being a writer has a solid, perfectly visible path for me. Lots of pathways leading off to other things, too.

Unfortunately, I'd have to go back to school and properly learn how the janky English language works before embarking on anything "professional", like seeking out a job as an editor. I abuse and misuse the hell out of grammar, and don't know lot of basic things a writer should know. I also seem to reuse a lot of basic words and phrases, such as "a lot", lol.

open bane
#

Your English seems fine to me, and you articulate yourself better than probably 75% of the people I went to college with lol

fickle obsidian
#

That's me anytime I think about going into writing too. I'm thinking if I try it professionally I'll fuck up or get frustrated dealing with language snobs

#

And I have next to no patience for language snobs that get bent out of shape about arcane grammatical transgressions

#

Like who the fuck knows what's up with infinitives or gerunds or whatever

mint spear
#

Honestly, you could accurately call me a language snob for getting triggered by American English.

#

The spelling differences and in some cases, definition differences.

#

For example, a full stop is how you end a sentence in the UK. In the US however, it's a period.

fickle obsidian
#

Nah, for me it's when you start getting into the weeds of actual grammar that I start thinking snobbish, because the vast majority of folks never think in those terms or syntaxes.

mint spear
#

I think the only grammar thing that I swear by, is the oxford comma.

#

Otherwise, I don't particularly care about grammar.

undone moat
#

I just write words

#

and pray they make sense

mint spear
#

Well... uh. Other than the obvious ones, like you're vs your. Those tick me off faster than greased lightning. >.>

undone moat
#

how can lightning be greased?

#

Yeah, it's the internet. Most people don't mind spelling and grammar, especially in online games.

tonights episode of computerman is brought to you by somewhat drunkenly trying to remember if the time you went to disney world was the only time or not

fickle obsidian
#

from a detached enough perspective, the recurring story of folks going to disney world sounds like it's some sorta weird social institution that everyone's obligated to attend

glad cypress
#

I've spent a whole 45 minutes starting loading games and then just pressing alt f4 once they finished.

fickle obsidian
#

why u do dat

glad cypress
#

Boredom.

#

I have the entire fucking internet at my disposal and yet somehow I am still bored.

fickle obsidian
#

I'm putting off preparing food

#

because I don't like waiting on food to cook 😩

glad cypress
#

Oof.

#

Perhaps buy some pre cooked chicken and some lettuce and have salad ready to go?

fickle obsidian
#

I've thought about that, but I haven't been able to figure out a salad that really fills me up as much as cooked stuff

glad cypress
#

What have you tried?

fickle obsidian
#

Uhh, I think last I tried was a regular ol' spring mix with some grapes & sliced almonds mixed in

steep pagoda
#

You should try what Marm said and add in chicken or some other meat. That should help fill you up

fickle obsidian
#

I can't remember entirely tho if I even finished it

#

lol

#

Well I also tried one with some grilled chicken, but something about it didn't click with me. Not sure which part of it since it was a mishmash

#

Couldn't figure out if it was some of the greens or just the vinaigrette used tho

#

But I also dunno if I just don't like meat prepared that way

I KNEW I SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO THAT HOMELESS GUY.

mint spear
#

I read "croncher" as "crocheter" and did a little double take.

fickle obsidian
#

🤔 i wonder who the most renowned crocheter is

glad cypress
#

My grandfather's wife is pretty good at it.

#

Since she is the only crocheter I know of, I am going to say she is the most renowned.

#

Using albegra.

fickle obsidian
#

Albegra! The finest diving method

mint spear
#

Looks like Kurt Cobain and Madonna both crochet.

fickle obsidian

y'know, i meant divining there but i'm sticking with diving

And George Washington Carver, of all people. thonk

Why have you blighted my eyes with this unholy sight?

The anti-light mode and anti-compact mode 'thing' is getting just as old and annoying as the chrome ram/cpu 'thing'.

#

People have beaten it into the ground.

glad cypress

I use compact mode and I don’t care what people think.

But the light mode hurt my eyes I am currently in the dark.

I use compact mode as well, but I use dark mode.

Haha nice meme bro totally on fleek

do you ever have a nightmare that seems too real and you have to convince yourself it isn't

gaunt reef
#

I used to get a lot of sleep paralysis

#

without any of those "what's that in the corner" stuff

#

just my body frozen and I'm screaming because its really uncomfortable

#

until I end up screaming for real

#

just to realise I didnt actually scream in the end, just woke up normally

mint spear
#

That sounds horrible.

gaunt reef
#

its caused by stress iirc

#

since I only had sleep paralysis just once ever since I graduated college 4 years ago

before that it used to happen more than occasionally

I actually had one this morning i think

Especially after a long time

The dream was so weird

i am in a meeting and there's this one guy who chooses a random tone for his voice after every word and it's so hard to listen to

Maybe he's on a merry go round

mint spear
#

magic cloak
#

I was in my room in the dream, one of the wall became very bright and bright light started emitting from the wall and it was like a energy field. Then my body started getting stretched or whatever, same feeling as paralysis. A hand sort of reached out and i woke up immediately

mint spear
#

wow O:

clever vessel
#

Very similar to other experiences

undone moat
#

you saw the hand of god

clever vessel
#

I feel they're more than dreams or hallucinations

mint spear
#

I haven't witnessed this myself, thankfully. I only hear random words and voices when I'm tired which is not like this.

magic cloak
#

What woke me up was i felt my arms and legs getting stretched for some reason and i also was monologuing with myself

#

Which is fucking weird

#

Because i was talking to my dream self

#

Or so i think

#

"dude wake up, your limbs getting stretched"

mint spear
#

Haha that is pretty funny lol

magic cloak
#

10/10 would have waited to see who came through the wall

clever vessel
#

I've had them where something hovers over me and everything vibrates

#

Usually can avoid them I think by not sleeping on my back

#

You sure its not something else vibrating squinteyes

#

Jk

#

Oh lemme check

I was also sleeping on my back

gamer that sounds like sleep paralysis to me

magic cloak
#

But this dream is the first like that in a long time

#

Last one was ages ago

#

I think 2-3 years ago

open bane
#

it's not a condition that happens constantly

magic cloak
#

I guess

open bane
#

can be brought on randomly, but usually due to stress or lack of sleep. Not always though.

#

I got a lot of them during college but haven't had any for years

magic cloak
#

I was not stressed but i did sleep less past week

#

Ngl it felt like a massage

open bane
#

yeah some people report feeling pressure on their chest or warmth

#

Ihaven't felt anything like that, just unable to move and can't speak even if I try

magic cloak
#

For me it was mostly my arms andlegs

open bane
#

i've luckily not been able to open my eyes during the episodes I've had

#

people that can typically hallucinate

magic cloak
#

I also didn't open my eyes but it felt exactly like my actual room in the dream

#

Also

#

The first thing i did after i woke up was go check the wall lmao

I feel we like to use the words hallucinate in times of trying to explain the things we as humans can't understand

I went and toured a smaller american foursquare from 1901 yesterday, super cute layout and all original mouldings but I'd need to Jack it up on a new foundation

#

And rebuild the addition

#

130k asking price, fucking stupid

#

Imo probably at best 80k. 70 for the lot, 10 for the house

#

119 year old building for 130k is nuts

#

I mean, I've always preferred the angular style a lot of vehicles in the 90s, 80s, and 70s have. Don't like the rounded/smooth curves they have today. I did like the 60s and older curves, but that's a different story altogether.

You could build a victorian house today for less than it costs to buy some of them

Meh, a medium sized victorian replica would be stupid expensive to build with all the mouldings and trim

Easily 800,000 to a million just to build

Old houses? Well, I live in one built in the 1890s. It's rather old for the area I live in.

mint spear

#

Yours is a lot nicer. >.>

#

I wouldn't say that tbh

#

The stairs are cramped, tiny, and steep.

#

#

#

Our house is wainscot galore lmao

#

Here's a random picture of the entryway in the basement, at the bottom of the stairs: https://i.imgur.com/9RlNvJg.jpg
Door to the right is a room we rent out, and door just in front is the laundry room, with another room beyond that.

#

Super handy back in the day to protect lath and plaster

#

I still see some wood 😌

#

Favourite part of our house for me is probably the original built in china cabinet that was covered up sometime in the 70s for God knows what reason

#

🤮

#

(we have four little dogs)

#

That's why the gate is there

#

🐕

#

We have a dog and the basement is his domain too

#

Oh, they don't live in the basement. That's to keep them out of it.

#

They live on the ground floor.

#

Oh lol, ours has a huge area to run around in the basement because we have too much fragile and delicate things on the upper 2 floors

#

nawwww

#

cute dogs

#

Right now we're rebuilding our back porch and balcony, which in part will finish off our upper sunroom which will be super fun. We just finished our parlour and will be starting on the upstairs bathroom then the house will be more or less done. After that we might finish the attic for a lounge and a storage room but we'll have to install 1 or 2 dormers to allow better ventilation

#

🥵

#

Oh god.

#

We've been busy non stop

#

Building the porch was a nightmare for us.

#

This house didn't have one. It originally had bay windows where we now have the porch.

#

We've had to bring in contractors to help us because it's a little too high up for our liking

#

14ft so that's a nasty fall

#

We were going to put a roof on the porch, but... we kinda just dropped the project after the railing and floor was done.

#

As long as you have good eavestrough and a proper angle on the deck you'll be fine

#

Which was the problem with ours, got rotted out

#

We have a really bad foundation. I'm not entirely certain what the exact cause is, but I want to blame 100+ year old tree roots from back when this was a farmhouse for a huge orchard.

#

Yeah I can imagine. Ours was originally built in a stone foundation but was filled in with concrete sometime in the 1940s

#

As far as I'm aware, we still have the original foundation. What little remodelling has been done, has mostly been cosmetic. The last functional one was in the 1960s, when they redid all the wiring and breaker box.

#

Still have some plaster left or was it dry walled in?

#

Uh... I know we have some drywall because we've had to replace some. Not sure on what's all what.

#

A lot of the walls on the groundfloor and upstairs are wood

#

Ah I see

#

Painted over

#

We didn't paint them

#

.>

#

Oh cool beans

#

Kinda only find out what a wall is, when someone punches a hole through one with a nail to hang something up.

#

The drywall ones are really annoying

#

Plaster is more like, "ok, one small finishing nail here on a stud to hang up this picture.....AAAAnd the whole wall is cracked"

#

Oh, I see. Then maybe we don't have any plaster.

#

Lots of wood

#

Probably taken out in the 1960s reno

#

Anyways I actually gotta go trim our trees so they dont comes smashing through the windows next wind storm lmao. ttyl

#

o.o

#

Have fun, lol

#

We've had to trim this sugar maple next to our deck a few times for a similar reason

You're kind, you're empathetic, but most of all you have a particular taste of humour that resonates with mine. So when you said "let me tell you something", I immediately predicated you would make a literal post about it, believing you were subverting expectations, since I expected that it means it did not subvert my expectations. I apologise for ruining your setup but this is how I feel about the situation and I hope you can understand where I am coming from.
