I usually remember bits and pieces
I usually remember most stuff but I was especially drunk. I've just regained the ability to type tbh lol
I can use those bits to slowly remember everything else; if I really want to
If I want to forget I do that too
I want to forget about the rest of the world
Just have my little bubble and unknow all the shit that's happening
That takes a bit more mental concentration so drinking doesn't really help
In the short term it does for me. But it never lasts
I struggle to be present I think
Always in the future or the past
I have a natural tendency to overthink, but I also have temper problems
Both required a lot of self focus
And they both kinda fall apart when I'm too drunk haha
Like buzzed I'm usually ok
Overthinking is my main issue tbh
I'll notice any little possibility of something being wrong (almost always health related) and I can spend whole days doing nothing but thinking about an illness I don't have
It's been better since I've got housemates now though
It keeps my away from being alone with my thoughts I guess lol
Mines always about if I'm a good person/doing the right things, etc
That must be not nice to think about a lot
Which is why I worked on changing it
You've always been a good person on this server, if that helps at all
Alright gnite haha
Gn
Just eat a shredded smoked brisket burger. Was great but I feel myself getting fatter LMAO
Sorry didn't mean to lmao so enthusiasticly... Not sure why my phone auto corrects it to all caps...
I kinda want a fried chicken sandwich tomorrow
We will never forgive you for your sin of caps locking a lmao
L.M.A.O.
You will go to hell for this severe transgression
Laughing Out Loud.
@glad cypress ok you're really going to hell this time
Haha lol.
It is, if you're an immortal rage filled being with super armor and guns that can shred metal
Well that escalated lol
I still kinda prefer original doomguy :x
okay boomer
Spoiler ||new doomguy is old doomguy. If you see the flashbacks||
Nah nah nah
Well I mean in terms of story lore
Not in terms of just the game itself
I get what you mean lol
Everyone has a annoying stubborn gamer thing
I still prefer original wolfenstein. The one before they cut out hitler as the last boss lol. I suck at the new wolfenstein games
I have not played the new doom games yet. Last one I played was doom 3 bfg edition on pc.
I'm not gonna rant about it
Go for it lol. I cheated my way through it not because I had to but did it to make the game more fun... It was pretty slow paced
The new ones aren't slow horror themed games at least
And getting bored and spawning in shit to blast through was how I made it through
Though 3 made sense being that way as the lighting was a big part of the new engine
do you guys know about Spacex Starship?
Ok I'm going to run a poll right now:
Should I eat dinner?
- yes
- Yes
- Ye
I don't really keep up with spacex
- Definitely
And also yes @fiery mason
Ok I'm going to run a poll right now:
Should I eat dinner?

What is this language you are all speaking lmao
Looks like spam
I'm not gonna explain why you shouldn't use that term, just dont
Nothing, I'm off to control point
Cuz nuclear scary
I have nuclear fallout on my 2020 bingo card dont interfere with fate smh
I think I might just go back to slaughtering the people of outer worlds in a bit lol.
Today's episode of me cooking is brought to you by misreading the cooking instructions
Ok
buddy
Pull up
I mixed up the serving size for pasta and the amount of water for cooking
Nice
Lmao
Ended up cooking 3/4cup of pasta in fucking 4 quarts of water
🤤
"This seems right yea"
I am smort cook man
Blissful ignorance
I envy you
That is awesome
Never seen a square shitter before and driving 18 wheelers I seen many lol
Ahhhhhhhhhh 8 minutes fuck
Quick order a pizza
Lmao
Stuffed crust cheese pizza... Damn it now I want pizza
All our pizza places took damage though....
😐 love when reading stuff and they give something to try to work out, but they haven't given any explanation of how to work it out yet
Plans for tonight: To not be sober.
you know, I wonder how many people have had sex in this bed.
Hopefully none, as I think this might be a kids' room at second glance
... on a COMPLTELY DIFFERENT NOTE, Charles Martinet voices Mario bu also voiced Paarthunax. Do you think that, somewhere in an alternate timeline, their voices were switched?

like fucking imagine: you're finally getting to see this big ol threat everyone's been telling you to kill, and he just comes out echoing from the mountains: "IT'SA ME, PAARTHUNAX, HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO"
I guarantee that's a mod somewhere
I'm still upset that they made you unable to say no to the stupid blades to kill parthy
Wot
it's just retarded honestly, like you're the fucking dragonborn
why can't you just refuse the damn quest
I tell them to fuck off every time
at least we have mods for that
I've always told them to fuck off, nobody kills my Parthy
Whomst
Hand over the fries
did you order that off of amazon
it looks like it came in a packaged cardboard box lol
Better than plastic 👍 👍 👍
even plastic
@mint spear nah, I had just ordered the clubhouse sandwich, but at the last moment this big burly dude behind the counter was like "cmon bro let me stuff some fries in there!"
I couldn't resist 😎 👌
Had to cram them in there like sardines
Why does he have the urge to stuff fries into random dude's boxes
🤨 some mathematicians are really good at making figuring stuff out look convoluted af
Someone who has a lot to offer is a good thing for you and your business and you will not need a lot to be a member to be a part time to go out to dinner 😊
The ship better close this thing quickly I'm way too fucking tired
Which ship?
Carrier
Work?
Yeah
🥺
Don't worry pretty much everyone else got to go home already 🙄
Close a door and lock it
Yuck. So just waiting, huh?
Yep cuz I don't have the key
Tempting to just go fall asleep down there
My punishment would be a lecture and being sent home
Is there a cozy spot?
😩
😔
Its also an engine room so its loud
Yuck
They uh paint it white which I still can't figure out
Cuz it literally shows off alllll the muck and staining n shit
fuuuuck
Yuckkkkk
i would die
Worst place to sleep it sounds like
Valid venting
I had to vent to someone earlier cuz I felt shitty. And talking through it helped.
Yeah its mostly just the feeling that I get stuck doing the most stuff all the time
Shitty. Ngl. I'd be annoyed too if it's a pattern. Any way to discuss it to improve things in the future?
Nah
Are you able to say no to some of the tasks?
Other people are just better at being lazy and I can't compete
I could but I can't live with myself being a pos
Nothing asks that much of me really
Sometimes you gotta make a compromise. With a part of yourself for another part of you.
Its not a challenge; but no one really treats me like I'm knowledgeable or "good" at it and I have my theories why
Ocd you has to learn to let go sometimes. You can take it as a challenge that can benefit the group, not jut a part of you.
Yeah but I can't just say no to doing my job
You know you can and will do xyz better, but you can't do it all all the time. Cuz one day you'll not feel well, and everyone (lazy) gets so used to you filling in, that you end up hurting. And the people who could've and should've improved didn't cuz they got used to depending on you so much, all the time.
Yeah that's already been true tbh
Someone didn't get relieved on time cuz everyone just expected me to do it
We all get burnt out. So one day you won't be there to do it all. It's okay to let go of some responsibilities, even if the result won't be up to your ocd standard. I say this from my own personal experience.
Cuz im always early haha
Yeah but when it doesn't get done then the supervisor goes and tells me to make sure it gets done next time
Then wait for that moment. And call it out.
Don't avoid that moment all the time. Now and then, slack a little. Test people and poke a little, find out if ppl can pitch in a little more. It'll benefit them as employees and people.
I guess I could try
Even if the end result sucks a little. It's better than you doing it all. Future Aethena will appreciate it.
I mean I do slack more than I used to
That's good. I know it's hard.
Its very hard cuz this job is cheese
But the work load feels uneven. I mean, when I've taken my work to heart, I get a bit obsessive. And have gotten burnt out. So later I suffer the consequences.
It's weird cuz as a woman, in my field, I also felt a need to prove myself. To prove I was a great developer. So I worked extra hard. Then I'd get burnt out. And work was just not enjoyable, even though I loved the core of my field.
I saw an episode of Criminal UK on Netflix. The interrogator's take at the end, it rung true to me. Her boss was trying to get her to step up and essentially do more work. But she knew she wanted a healthier, more balanced personal life, and she declined. And I loved how she was able to measure when it was too much, without the need to prove to anyone she was good enough.
nms philosophy channel's gone?
@limber fractal thanks it means a lot that you kinda get why I push myself so hard
Philosophy had very little traffic so I dropped it
I can always bring it back if its really needed
Every time I get a grade increase too I always feel like ill get more respect and be treated like I actually know what I'm doing
But nah
Philosophy had very little traffic so I dropped it
@silver mantle Yeah, I did notice that. I'm sorry I didn't get as involved cuz I kept getting sidetrcked. 😔
Every time I get a grade increase too I always feel like ill get more respect and be treated like I actually know what I'm doing
@silver mantle Yeah, it's just never enough for "them", you know?
I know 😩
I get made fun of for always saying no to OT too but i still do it haha
And here I am with almost 300 OT hours anyway xD
I gotta go back down soon 😭
Trust me. It's never "enough" for bosses, especially when the work load is uneven. Make sure you prioritize YOUR health (physical, mental, emotional). Cuz there just isn't enough money in the world to repay personal time, that chips away at your health. You're still young. But as we grow older and more health issues pop up, you're like, "ummm why did I work so hard for <insert boss name or company>"? Was it really worth it? When I could've been spending more time taking more care of me.

Thanks for letting me vent and for the advice tho ❤️
It's my pleasure. I enjoy the two way street in friendships. We all share and learn together. 
Its true but a lot of times people forget that
I got a new toy ;)
Vape pen or scalpel? 🤔
Dab pen
Oh good. I'd be worried if it was a scalpel, with your history with knives 😆
Yeah I'd be bad with a scalpel lol
you're bad with knives and yet
so it would make sense in a bad way that you're carrying around a scalpel
Oh really?
Can confirm.
lmao
I used to smoke wax. And that didn't have any yucky taste. Maybe it's the type you bought.
It had the least amount of taste for me compared to all other forms of thc products. It sucks that any form of smoking is just not good for my asthma. So I stopped.
funny how smoking for me was not affecting my lungs so much as my stomach
It affects my bronchial tubes. That's what gets inflamed when my asthma is triggered.
Interesting about your stomach.
Yuckkk. I even had to stop using inhalers (for asthma) cuz that also fucks with my esophagus, in turn causing acid reflux.
damn
90% reason I have acid reflux every morning is probably from lack of exercise and I'm still not feeling motivated enough to go out for a jog in this humid heat
soon tm
Diet can affect acid reflux. As in consuming more foods with probiotics (like kimchi or sauerkraut). That helped me a lot. Also avoiding over processed sugars.
my reflux is mild probably because I have yogurt everyday
That's awesome! Great source of probiotics.
Also processed foods like not fresh tomato sauce, like the stuff in jars and cans. That's the worst. And not freshly squeezed OJ.
Those are very acidic.
yeah I think diet wise I'm fine but since this started around the time of the pandemic its safe to say its just my lack of movement
That's an easy fix at least.
Had a coworker once who didn't have an esophagus
We need explanations
I assume there was surgery of some kind to give him a pseudo-esophagus
Wow
yeah, they can connect ur stomach up to whatever little bit of esophagus may be there
He drank drain cleaner as a toddler
Maybe don't do that, for anyone reading
😱

He was awesome tho
Gave me a ride home once
Okay so this is the best $65 I've ever spent
Oh?
Don't do drugs kids
ugh i feel like im gonna puke
idk if its the being steeped in oil smell for like 4 hours but prolly is
Definitely 😔
im home tho 
"do you know how to use the phone" man that short dude today almost died i swear to god
ship phones require you to hold the button down to stay connected
its really fucking simple and i hate when people think i haven't figured it out by now
soda time

nite nite!
G'night redhot
decided to eat before bed OMG THIS IS TOO SPICY
what did you eat?
im having a shrimp diablo burrito
well the word "Diablo" kinda gives it away doesn't it
i swear the first time it wasn't this spicy 😭
ah yes a classic case of, i swear last time was better
its still tasty its just setting my mouth on fire
the spiciest thing i ever ate was a fish soup, i think
i opened the container it was in and immediately my nose started running and my eyes got wet
good soup
spicy stuff is SO good
its worth the pain
my mouth hurts now 😛
tbh i was kinda surprised this is the only really hot thing i've gotten down here in sandy
considering normally there's a rep for mexican food having a lot of spice
hmm gotta try Indian food but i don't know if i have a good Indian restaurant next to me
i only know good ones in Japan (ik thats strange)
hmm that is indeed strange i thought Japan's where very focused on their own culture
nah they have amazing french bakeries too
they've been reversing that whole inward focus thing tho
@rare mauve what claim is rejected?
Hot sauce on everything @silver mantle
@silver mantle saw this and thought of our convo the other day...op posted it saying "I need this vest!" 😆
i would love to be ignored at parties for sure! haha
I need that sign taped to me 😩
last party i went to i actually just ended up talking with a friend for most of it because i found out her boyfriend was super possessive and was getting mad that she went out and did something
when i wasn't talking to her i got cornered by the random dude i didn't know trying to strike up a conversation; so I was slightly happy for the bailout
I think it depends on the type of party. Sometimes places can be a bit unsafe so people can end up being over protective. Besides that sometimes people come off as possessive when it's really nervousness. Like I normally 100% stick around Arc when we go places, but I also have social anxiety 
If I dont have Arc I find the nearest dog or cat 
But yeah since that guy was getting mad he was probably a duck
Duck.....
Dick

When you're a kid and not allowed to swear yet

well i also found out that he does it more often than just that
but yeah i get you
the most i ever had to protect my ex from luckily was spiders xD
Haha, yeah I deal with the spiders in my relationship too 
im just lucky because centipedes, at least where i live, are such a rare encounter haha
I find them quite often, but its because I go out looking for critters like lizards, spiders, n snakes.
millipedes are more common at my place and for whatever reason they don't bother me
i think its prolly cuz they look bumbly
Millipedes are so cute 
it really helps that theyre slow and plodding
They like to eat apples
💙
I wanted one so bad from the bug museum in Bremerton
But they dont sell them anymore
For the life of me I can't remember what I've bought from there, but it was for her

For the location though, I'm surprised it stays in business
i work at the place with the big boats 😛
Spider necklaces. I dont approve of dead spiders, but since they're already dead better to not let them go to waste
plus I love freaking out my family when wearing those necklaces
I kind of figured

i am surprised too especially the way traffic is there during rush hour
its why i never work dayshift
Well, from Silverdale as well
Yeah I was expecting it to go out of business years ago
i have to take a route thats 5X as long just to make it in slightly less time
everything in Belfair does because of the traffic
Belfair also kinda sucks tho
Yeah it's really boring 
it survives off the ridiculous expensive housing that's around there
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I've lived here since I was 4, can confirm as well 
Never spent too much time there
Had to pass through there.... once... on my last job, only for the one time I took on a delivery role for a bit.
pretty exciting right
Not a bad looking town, but eh
To be honest I forget that place exists
Better than Bainbridge I guess
theyve actually been making it look nicer and im unsure what's causing it
i think its becoming like a distant suburb of olympia or something idk
My boss would joke if I had raised the property value every time I entered Bainbridge

Or lowered
One of the two
It's supposedly inhabited by snobs
And Serval cat that keeps getting lost
bainbridge was prolly lowering its pretty upscale
Fuzzy 
im amazed by cats having this seemingly unnatural vertical jump
my cat apollo does it all the time and it doesn't look like he's jumping its just suddenly WOOP
my back is in terrible pain
@spark niche bruh I don’t even know. I’m sorry
it chill
Any word on the new NMS update?
Well
All i know is that
I want to be your best friend
And hopefully give you a high five in person someday
And he never responded
Luigi has been rescued
well done
I REPEAT, Luigi has been rescued
Mario is fucking dead
I REPEAT, Luigi has been rescued
@undone moat luigi has been rescued
I REPEAT, Luigi has been rescued
@undone moat
Damn that makes me HARD
Hey Anders.
I actually had orange flavored milk once.
😳
Central California is wack af.
;>$;[
It is
ops
central cali is hell
CeCal
source, I lived in it
Bakersfield
My grandmother was born there.
It’s a p big place, Bakersfield
Bigger than a baker's field?
lol
🤮
Rip
I’m house sitting and one of the cats is attacking my shoe voraciously
Nice
they left their radio on and she started doing it as “Eye of the Tiger” started playing
same :<
Balls
... torture?
i did put tang in milk once
No
(grew up in socal)
hUEh
wouldn’t that curdle it?
it did not
This is a book cover I saw last night
Dude's all wrong
it was like a shitty melted dreamsicle
He's crosseyed, his hair is all gray, but his stubble and body are like 30 while his eyes and up are 70
fallout 4
looks like a romance novel
about werebats
which I'm honestly surprised to see on store shelves like Walmart lol
they are pretty cringe/erotic
E
A
T
M
E
that was rather spontaneous
was it tho
vore
Romance novels are generally cringe
Or they're just. Regular people doing regular people things
@ornate fable we are friends now
wut
so many reasons to be bothered by it
It's definitely strange
Doesn't seem like something that should be discussed in off topic tho
Dude you fucking KNOW how someone thought of it, it's right there
But yes kids are in this server we mustn't subject them to such things
😐
keep it Pg13 im tired of reminding offtopic about this
the rules of the server still apply here.
okayyyy I'll tone it down a bit
smh
man what am I supposed to DO here
can't swim cuz there's sharks out in the water
it's overcast and cold so tanning really isn't a thing
can't really go to restaraunts n shit cause of covid
can't go shopping because I'm broke
its way too hot and humid here to go out
I should at least get up and take a walk
i kinda want to order sorbet or something today
or ice cream
I dont even eat ice cream anymore
so much for a beach vacation :/
don't get me wrong, it's nice to wear hoodies again but meh
Damn
I want your temperature
the timing for this trip is absolutely shit tbh
I WANT 18 DEGREES
SO BAD
I hate summers so bad its a waste of electricity and sanity
winters way better
I'd totally wouldn't mind living in perpetual winter
go to russia
if only
scandanavia
In the past I'd say, Alaska. But even they get heat waves nowadays. And not enough ACs cuz you know, that wasn't a thing before global warming 
it just needs to hurry up and trigger the ice age 😠
Time for a change of pace
I'm with Sohail about cold. I prefer it so much more over heat. I lived in Florida too long. When I moved to Colorado, I'd dread summers, while everyone else looked forward to them. Ontario, Canada's summers aren't as bad.
my preferred temp is 20F-40F
i mean i dont really mind anything lower than that but once it starts to get above 60 i hate it
I hate heat
Yeah, 70 for me is Hot. I love being able to wear warm clothes, drink my hot green tea lattes without sweating up a storm, but feel super cozy drinking it. Sigh.
I want rain, cold wind, mist (not fucking smog and smoke), morning dew
im already hot i don't need it to be hot outside 😎
And yeah, what Red said
cozy is also the best feeling
Here you can barely wear just pants and a t-shirt, no socks or shoes indoors without feeling a bit hot
i mean i don't wear much more than socks when its like 60 in my house in the winter i love it haha
and then get under a fluffy blanket
and play games
Here's the other thing that's crazy in hot places. The AC is turned up so high, you have to carry around a jacket with you everywhere. So your body has to be constantly adjusting its core temperature cuz that just ain't natural. It even affects your immune system.
AC cold can never compare to natural cold for me ever.
thats what i hate about SoCal
Meanwhile I have to have two fans directed at me indoors to play games comfortably, in a tshirt and pants
i just wanna wear my hoodie damn it
I thought you were asking if she's social
I wish I could leave
Like, not super badly to the point where I can't stand it
But I hate hot weather so goddamn much
i am very skillful in social situations; just yesterday I didn't murder someone who asked if I knew how to use a phone @gaunt reef
That's basically the only bad thing I can think of where I live now
My immune system is fucked anyway
Hi sohail
spring is beautiful, autumn is more beautiful with beautiful crisp mornings
Ellen Degeneres moment
winter has snow which is beautiful
what does summer have? fire and heat and suckage
this
Not a clue Sohail
getting bugged to go to the beach constantly 
Sorangehail
Fall's def my fave.
Same
spring is beautiful, autumn is more beautiful with beautiful crisp mornings
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It's right after hell, and can look forward to winter.
I also love winter too
Fall is usually a good temperature, it's pretty, and it has Halloween
Sometimes I wish there were three seasons
like im ngl one of the most beautiful weather things I've ever seen is snow with ice rain, despite it being horribly dangerous
Spring, autumn and winter
Speaking of, fall starts in two days
I mean summer has its advantages
hey this makes us Fall Guys? 
Already feels like fall
Unless it's the 21st for you. Then it's tomorrow

I like swimming. Havent gotten to in like two years tho
Flowers
A
summer crops?
And spring isn't fucking hot like summer
Are you all missing my jist
Fuck summer
All my homies hate summer
I know lol
Is it a pg13 jist? 🤔
But what if we could just lengthen spring autumn and winter and take out summer

Just tell the sun to calm down, should work
And make plants grow faster or smnth
It's implication it's fine
Time to make. Coffee
Anyway summer is fine for reasons
Cake by the ocean 🎶
Two reasons in particular cough cough
It's nice to go out and chill with people when the heat isn't too much
Summer is just the Winter of heat
I'll always be more of a gloomy day guy though
I prefer the cold, heavy air to light, sunny breeze
i like hiking in the summer sometimes when its mild; but hiking in the rain is dope
I've hiked in the HOT sun once and hoo boy
as long as its warm and rain
Thankfully when I got to the top it was nice and windy
the Olympics are beautiful year round though so its not a special summer thing
just a lot of the trails are more treacherous with heavier rain
cold + rain + hiking isn't fun
And what terrain you're on
not really
woah nice
That's a beaut
cold is fine, wet is fine, combination of the two is unpleasant.
still trying to get that one done with my dad but covid kinda ruined it this year haha
I mean I guess
If you don't like cold rain
But if you have a jacket, it could be refreshing
i like cold and rainy because when you get soaked it can be somewhat unpleasant
but then you go inside and have hot cocoa and its cozy as fuck
weirrrrd
Not weird, just different from what you like I guess
i find it super refreshing

ignore it british people can't techncally call anyone weird 

watch me 👹
Too late
Ay gday guvnah! Wud ja loik a noice cupa tee?
british people are experts on both cold and rain and complaining
Discord is just proof that once you launched Undertale there was no escape
game's still going 👀
I have coffee with caramel macchiato creamer. Am happy with this
Hello orange
trust me adam im quite familiar 😏
The British are the least weird wdym
fuck that my ex was weird af and i LOVED it
weird also = actually interesting
@hallow isle How you feeling?
I'm not weird I'm the most normal wdym
good!

oh yeah i was gonna get up wasn't i
Yeah
Anyway yes British girls are very good I am not biased at all nope

love of my life was british
Literally every girlfriend I've ever had was British
In one way or another whether or not we realize it
The accent gets me. Ngl.
she had two which was funny
That is funny. Depending on who she talked to?
Cat
yep like she never used her normal one in public
we went into a pizza shop and I'm pretty sure there was a dude who had covid in there
dude was coughing and it sounded like death
her mom taught her a london type accent to use so she sounded better in public i guess some weird thing
we bailed like asap
that's a thing, particularly for northern folk
she was west midlands
brummie, even worse
Murphy is trying to pull my hair to him to chew on
i thought it was cute
I have different voices for different crowds but that's the usual
I... Don't
I have one voice lol
Anything else is me just doing an accent on purpose
I accidentally sound Russian sometimes
i did it once at school and everyone ofc was like "never stop doing this voice ever"
I accidently mumble sometimes.
I have a weird thing where I might start to use an accent to match the way someone's speaking though
My great grandma was Russian but I never met her
mumbling marmalade
my ex def made me do british a bunch cuz she thought it was adorable
Then I'd get him confused with mumbles even more
MarvelousMumblingMarmalade what a name
I have no idea what I sound like tbh
'Murican?
You sound like you look like you should sound
I don't know how I sound tbh, I never thought about it too much.
I know what I sound like. But only because of singing
I have to hear most of your voices / accents still.
this is making me tense
Your knee is?
you sound pretty normal but fun hex if that makes any fuckin sense
not having a door
Hmmm. I think that's a good thing.
kai sounds like a vampire
I have a seatbelt but I still feel very unsafe
omg he does
And often sounds emotionless lol
fluffy sounds like a magic playerlike a friendly person
Like everything I say almost sounds monotone, even though it doesn't to me
My voice is higher than I hear when talking
I love it when Fluffy calls me a silly goose, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
ill tell you all what, when I come back I'm gonna do a vr stream and shit's gonna explode
like im ngl i could listen to commentary from him cuz its a relaxing voice
Genuinely yes.
tbh I'd love to run through half life alyx with a bunch of people
think of it like a let's play series but it's live
time to ninja my food into my room and hope no one walks by lmao
"It's ya boi Computerman and today we're gunna thud.... dicks."
S0ul is arguing with people over stupid stuff. It's kinda funny
nah not hla - it needs to be a blind run of something
got myself an oreo milkshake :3
Spirit, last night in the shower I realized you missed an opportunity for a joke and I hate that it took me 4 hours to notice.
i always knew i sounded like a bland american haha
grown up watching too much western media so I thought I'd have a different accent than usual
Oh I see. Yep, that'll do it.
YO I SHOULD join vc one time and kill you all with my voice
so, i remember reading something about this a long time ago
especially when I hear other Indians talking and it feels like I dont have those nuances
children don't pick up accents from TV media
they don't really learn from it either
it's pretty much exclusively parental/relative interaction
makes sense
In fact, some studies suggest exposure to TV et al. may actually slow speech development
@mint spear what joke
difficult to prove conclusively though without being horrendously unethical
Every kid is different, that's a hard thing to study. I had a friend who taught herself to read using Pokemon games
@sterile tartan - You shared a filtered picture and said something like "soul face reveal" and the joke you could have ran with... Get this...
You could have said it was a SOULFIE.
I learned my English accent from friends cuz English wasn't my native tongue.
OMG I'm too funny.
Ayyyy
@limber fractal you should sue them 😉
Def no tv or parents for me.
@hallow isle Wow. I sound that bad? Lol
no I'm just kidding 🙂
i wouldnt be able to tell you didn't speak english natively red no joke
your accent is interesting
at least from what i remember
I know that when I get nervous or tired, the Miami accent comes out more. Not a fan lol
Friends I learned from both had pretty neutral accents. So I tried to imitate as best I could.
If I say anything in another language besides English, I soubd like a Russian speaking that language
Sound
But learning at age 12 does make it harder. Cuz that part of your brain (for accents) is fully developed at age 6 iirc.
@sterile tartan So funny. And cute.
I sound uh
Yeah, but people remain impressionable their whole lives
Like the actors/singers from elsewhere who sound more american the longer they stay in the us
@limber fractal we don't start learning any additional languages in the UK until we're 11 D:
well Nyxara always said my voice was smooth but I don't believe him
It is
wHAT
Fortunately the whole world learns English for us
i think the only thing i picked up from my parents that isn't just a bland american accent is that I tend to go for long A's more
@hallow isle That's sad. Most European ppl I met seemed to have learned multiple languages at a very early age. I'm always so jealous lol
Europe is definitely different
Ah instead of eh
from what I can tell drunk computerman sounds far different but that could just be my memory
I know little bits of french, german, dutch, and japanese
Why should we learn other languages when other countries can just learn English? 😤
I love Dutch. But I'm weird.
but never really stuck with any long enough to get past the "the cat is sat on the mat" level
I also enjoy French now as an adult.
I can read German
Doesnt mean I know what I'm reading always. But I can read it
rofl
i honestly feel like I need to learn Japanese since I'll have to go there for work
Problem is I can read them a lot better than I can write or speak
Which makes duolingo real tricky
Japanese is hard. Or at least it seemed to be when my mom was learning it. They had two sets of numbers depending on type or shape of object. Or something like that.
I used to know a bit of Italian but I know very little of it now unfortunately
I could learn German probably
I remember most of what I learned in like 7th grade
They have two alphabets, hiragana and katakana
I believe written japanese is harder than spoken
hiragana is for most things, katakana is for loan words, signs, nouns, technical words...
then there's kanji, which represent entire words or concepts in a single symbol
If I was given a choice to be born or raised in another country, I'd include Japan as one of the top choices 🤔
I wouldn't
duolingo scares me
Just because
Idk
But I could learn German prolly
so, @limber fractal imagine having to learn 2 alphabets, and then not using either of them 90% of the time
as much as I like Japan in anime/manga, I would rather live in a slavic country or Canada
I'm a fan of various aspects of their culture. Unrelated to language.
I enjoy language. So I'd be fine learning 2 alphabets at an early age.
If I could be born in a different country I would pick the UK again so I have another shot at being king
the thing that annoys me so much
is that
this stuff can literally be learned by a 4 year old
I'm better than a 4 year old
I'd enjoy learning 5 languages before age 6.
4 year olds absorb everything, it's a lot easier to learn anything at that age
I should touch up on my French
i absolutely love japanese food
is it though? or is that just the lie we tell ourselves when we're getting our asses kicked by 4 year olds?
Jasper hates umbrellas with a passion. He'll lay his ears back, hiss, growl, and slap the shit out of them
It goes back to what I said. About the region of our brain linked to language and sounds. It stops developing around age 6.
okonomiyaki 
I just like my food to be slightly sweet, idk why
@hallow isle It's science
ramen 
😐
if I ever get a time machine, learning a language is on the list of things to fix
Yes
I want to go back in time and shoot that bitch-ass toddler. Fucking annoying ass piece of shit like wtf was i thinking.
I feel like the bad stuff that's happened to me are all part of who I am now, along with the good
infinite time to learn more stuff would be pretty rad
- Start learning languages 30 years earlier
- Start learning guitar 30 years earlier
- redacted
- You don't need pizza at 2am, stay home
The older we get, the more weird it may be. It depends on where we're at in life, how we were raised, what kind of traumas we experience, etcetera etcetera.
like yeah I've had stuff happen that I regret and would like to change but I also feel like that because I feel like this I will not make the same mistakes again
trust me im aware of many things that are different now that im an old lady 😐
obaa chan

When brain function is affected, and you realize you can't undo past mistakes, or you've run out of time, regrets may pop up... when we're young, we can feel we're invincible.
its unfortunate wisdom comes too late; so much wasted time
I speak for my mother's early onset of dementia.
😔
sometimes major things happen to you that have absolutely no upside, and it's difficult to understand that unless it's happened to you
i hate that so many years get stuck finding out who you are; but i also blame some of that on society
oh boy did I give up on that fast
I had a bit of time where I was getting an identity crisis, then realised "wait isn't all this based on what people want of me? fuck it"
people say that every cloud has a silver lining, but that's not true - some clouds really are just dark to their core
bro... darkness cannot exist without light...........
OPTIMISM MY DUDE BE OPTIMISTIV
Optimism isn't a fix it all. Trust me.
Sometimes you must accept it's not always the way you want things or hoped for them to be.
It certainly helps morale though
i think there's more to mental toughness than optimism; there's many layers to changing ways of thinking and what not
Acceptance is a better place.
If only it worked that way 🙂
Brain chemistry is a powerful mechanism, for the good and the bad. Hence why youngins can feel they're invincible.
Acceptance and gratefulness are more balanced states of mind from my personal experience. When the clouds get very very very dark.
even just like working on a temper its like super difficult to recognize and stop it when its happening cuz it feels so justified
Yup.
That's what I love about Tao Te Ching tbh. The Yin and Yang.
Not good vs evil.
Just forces of nature. Energies. That flow.
You try to find a balance. But you accept the flows.
that was something interesting my dad got really into but sort of by "accident?" because he's old too so his joints and muscles ache more so he started Tai Chi and Qi Gong
and then absorbed the mental aspects of it too
similar to me it came out of a really really bad year
Omg I LOVE internal martial arts. It's lovely he got into it.
its kinda nice cuz its another journey we kinda share in a lot of ways
im just bad at routines
I did a 2 month Taoist retreat. It was like light at the end of a tunnel.
ah man that sounds awesome
I lived in a tent for 2 months. We woke up before sunrise to do our Chi Gong and Tai Chi movements, facing where the sun would rise.
i really wish i could do something like that tbh
you've got 2 months of leave right?
When I came back "home" to Colorado, I felt a huge sense of loss tbh. The space there was like no other I've experienced.
something random about Japan that i really loved was being in Tokyo on one of the main roads with all that noise and traffic and wandering off into a small garden between some buildings with a shrine on the far side
all the noise vanished and it was like being back in a forest
woah
it was a really crazy experience
I'm too headstrong to see sense I shall instead block the badness out via my overwhelming ans sometimes overbearing positivity
i would def just like to do something to sort of cap off all the years of self work that ive done
cuz ive always just kinda done it myself
What you resist persists, is my motto.
Flow like water, and the badness shall pass.
lmao this reminds me of something I wrote years ago
i just feel like im so close to something really good
Def reach for it.
Life is the river in which the water of time flows. You're a piece of lint floating in the water. If you keep yourself loose enough, nothing will stop you from flowing and you'll eventually drain into the ocean of... Afterlife?
But if you keep yourself tight, you're bound to hit a rock or any other stationary object and you'll end up being stuck to it. Either a little time, or a lot of time, maybe even forever.
And the water of life will slowly erode you.
You'll then get detached to that rock, but a part of you is gone.
This process might keep happening till you are reduced to a mere grain of near nothingness.
Sure, nothing won't stop you now, but well.. You're a grain now.
Don't let the water of time erode you by delving into the past. But don't go too fast by thinking of the future either or else you'll hit a rock REALLY hard and a big part of you might just break off, you know?
Float with the waters at it's pace. The present. The present matters the most.```
bro 5 years ago
jeez
Thank you so much for sharing that ♥️
I vaguely remember writing this to someone but idk who
oh that's very nice
thank you
this talk is also very nice haha
usually if i go this route people are pretty like "excuse me what"
That writing contains a lot of wisdom. @gaunt reef 
haha its still rough but thanks
Yeah, I used to get a lot of that type of response in South Florida. @silver mantle Colorado was different.
usually if i go this route people are pretty like "excuse me what"
just intersperse the talks with a random "BRO DIGANBALLS" to keep it zoomer relevant
not surprising; SoCal is also a very different experience than WA
and then even in WA things are very different from one city to another
Here used to be my perfect depiction of South Florida.
I was at work, and a friend and coworker of mine introduced me to one of his newer employees. A girl. Typical cute girl, with nice (suspiciously) fake boobs. Etc.
In my part of WA no one questions other people's stuff usually
He tells her, "She doesn't own a television." Which I didn't. On purpose.
Girl responds in genuine shock: "Omg! So what do you do?!"
haha yeaahhhh
._.
how
i still get those conversations with my coworkers cuz the only thing ive done socially with them lately is learn magic the gathering
I thought TVs arent as popular anymore now that the world is about Netflix and Chill
its very confusing to some of them
the more "crazy" thing would be if someone didn't own a smartphone
TVs are still pretty popular yeah
Yeah, this was back in 2006 maybe? 🤔 Can't recall. Things have changed a lot.
i understand the context
everyone I work with is 20 years older than I am so anything I try to talk about with them goes over their head no matter how much I dumb it dowm for them
no I mean popular enough for someone to think you're crazy for not owning one
i actually work with people of many varying ages; younger same older
I can come work with you, I'll acceptta position as your boss
what do the younger ones think of you?
I'll reserve my comments, woop
i think the younger ones just think of me as anti-social haha
i like how even if you talk about old stuff like Aethena & Red were talking about, it still manages to go over older folks' heads, lol
actually that's been the most common from all of them is im wasting my life cuz i wont go out and meet people
Yeah dude some people are like REALLY OLD
