Water tastes amazing at all times wtf are you talking about?
If I didn't know any better I'd assume you weren't a hydro homie.

Normal water tastes good most of the time
But not always
Carbonated water always tastes good
glad cypress
carbonated water
is an insult to water
fite me
it makes everyone ive talked to about it more thirsty
is annoying to drink
glad cypress
I mean, I drink it sometimes.
When I am obscenely bored.
Last time I drank it I also tried drinking water using a bowl and spoon,

If I get another play mat I could host a 3 player game just with my stuff 😜
This ones cool!

I should have saved a version without the streaks

Powers out? Is there strong winds there too?
sterile tartan
I think someone hit a power pole earlier, but the power only flickered at that point. I'm not sure why it's out
It went off, came back on for literally a second, then died. About 40 minutes ago
The boom I heard was around 11
silver mantle
Lame
I hate when its someone running into it; people really dont drive even remotely safely anymore tho
Gambling massively for like 10 seconds of time
sterile tartan
Something keeps triple beeping, and it's really annoying
It'll keep doing it til we have power again
Also yeah. I get that it's the first snow and it's slick and stuff but it's been like this since like 15 hours ago
silver mantle
Oh, I was gonna say smoke detector but those stop
Well people drive dangerously in clear weather and don't stop in bad weather
They expect their huge truck/SUV to do it for them I guess
sterile tartan
Ample time for people to realize it's shitty...
Yeah I dont get that. I cant drive, personally, but if I could I would definitely not drive like an ass
ohhh my big truck has double tires, that's double traction
Uh no, it's less safe and more likely to put you in a ditch
sterile tartan
That's a big thing around here... Probably lots of places too but the bigger the tires, the bigger the ego
silver mantle
Yeah we have a ton of lifted trucks in the west too
sterile tartan
I'm starting to think they're everywhere
silver mantle
Same issue; they can't conceptualize the problem with stopping
Or friction
Basically wherever I park I have to squeeze into my car due to 2 lifted trucks parked on either side of me
And 1 my car isn't big
sterile tartan
Gross
silver mantle
And 2 I'm very not big
I won't lie I just let the straps and stuff on my backpack hit their truck as I put it in my car 😜
sterile tartan
There was a kid who managed to get stuck in the ditch in front of the high school
This town isn't that hard to navigate. There's a common factot

sterile tartan
It gets pretty cold when the heat is off ahah
It's as much the vehicle as it is the driver. I'm sure some people could drive a jacked up truck and also take into account the downsides to it... But they don't
I see plenty of people not wrecking their trucks
But also...

Most probably don't put anything in the back either

I want to sleep. But the beeping

Earplugs?
sterile tartan
It's something on the computer that controls the other computers in the house
Hmm... I have none. Could maybe use meadphones and music but that sounds uncomfortable
I've tried to sleep with ear buds. They don't agree with the idea lmao
Ear plugs would work
sterile tartan
I don't know where the stash is that is kept around for concerts. Otherwise I would have em
I can sleep without sound, it's just way harder to fall asleep. Usually have a fan on
Kinda hard to run a fan without power though haha

Yeah I hate my house with the power out its way way too quiet
Looking forward to those spooky nights on graveyard by myself again haha 😓

Theres an emergency backup that all the important computer stuff is hooked to but that's all it does

There were some creepy things I found in below zero last time I played but I didnt get any pictures
The new big things are creepy 😭
silver mantle
Sure is taking forever
sterile tartan
Yeah
I'm pretty sure lag saved me after that screenshot
I ran out of air before getting to the surface but survived
And Yknow
Was also being chased by a reaper
silver mantle
Theres like 1 or 2 seconds before it games over blacking out
sterile tartan
Ahh
silver mantle
I saw a video where it went full black and then like a second and they surfaced and it came back
sterile tartan
My original thought was the lag from surfacing saved me from the reaper, when it happened
The couple seconds is helpful to not drown. I like that
silver mantle
I can't remember if reapers will go all the way up though I figured they would
silver mantle
I obviously avoid them as much as possible with my thalassaphobia 😭
sterile tartan
That makes sense
I stopped being bothered by them for a bit but I was on creative
They still grab the seamoth in Creative but it doesnt hurt you or break it
Got to watch a ghost Leviathan maul my seamoth also. That was interesting
sterile tartan
I wasn't even in it
The gost just went fuck this thing
silver mantle
I totally panicked
sterile tartan
Ghost*
Understandable. They're kinda terrifying
silver mantle
I was in the lost river too which I kinda already hate haha
sterile tartan
There's been a glitched thing in the lost river for two of my files. One of the prowlers. It's off to the side and just kinda sits there indefinitely
silver mantle
Prowler? The teleport things?
Idk all the names
Only thing I never saw were tge walkers :c
sterile tartan
The things in the lost river that kinda look related to a ghost and a bitey fish
They're sorta see-through
silver mantle
Oh I think I remember those
sterile tartan
The walkers are neat
Don't try to swim under them if you find them. They'll stomp you
Otherwise they just... Walk
silver mantle
Id prolly be too creeped out anyway
sterile tartan
I tried once
They take like a quarter of your health if they stomp on you
The ghosts don't kill with one bite, either .-.
They take like 80% of your health if I had to guess

Its an extreme or irrational fear of something

hmm i have nothing that is that bad
i have just the standard stuff
fear of:

I was doing badly in math during mock exams because I wanted to focus on other subjects and then do math near the end (my mom is a tutor and would teach me later)

well the thing was, the final test was split into 2 parts, actual translation and a theory part.
as soon as i found that out i immediately started learning for the theory part and skipped all translation training

needless to say she was PISSED

understandable my teacher didn't really like my way of dealing with the test
verbal pelican
Sohell, desi moms are hilariously competitive with other aunties on behalf of their children.
terse cargo
i was laughing so god damn hard when he told me my grade
gaunt reef
did you do Cambridge or was it Indian Edu Board? GPA system?
Central Indian Edu board
or technically "Central Board of Secondary Education"
verbal pelican
Tbh if my student pulled that shit, HE, I would be very impressed. Annoyed but impressed nonetheless.
gaunt reef
not a GPA system when I graduated, just marks based
verbal pelican
And that’s all in English?
gaunt reef
the papers are in both english and hindi
silver mantle
@tropic folio I lost twice :c
verbal pelican
Like in BD it’s mostly in Bengali. Physics, chem etc. Other than english subjects ofc. Which is why I sat for camb.
gaunt reef
ah I see
verbal pelican
Text books tho?
gaunt reef
english only
tropic folio
@silver mantle lost what twice
silver mantle
Magic
verbal pelican
Nice. It is your second language as well, so makes sense. Esp for a country that size with as many languages.
silver mantle
Taught my coworker
gaunt reef
but I think you could get the non lang subjects in hindi, I think it depended on region or something
terse cargo
they gave us a book to read for the year, i didn't read it
verbal pelican
You have international schools there as well I presume?
terse cargo
it sucked
gaunt reef
although now that I'm recalling, there were a couple of students who struggled because english was not their strong suit at all
terse cargo
so i just picked out a few key scenes
gaunt reef
so they needed to focus in class properly (since teachers would speak in a mix of hindi/english)
terse cargo
and went in there with that shit
gaunt reef
You have international schools there as well I presume?
yep, and pretty expensive as you'd expect
following international system and all
verbal pelican
Mhm. I went to a british school and yet half of my class struggled with comprehensions, creative writing etc.
terse cargo
why schrödinger?
verbal pelican
It is rather pricey yeah.
tropic folio
@terse cargo beginning to think I'm bipolar, if only because I've been diagnosed with Major Depression since I was 10
days are just really swingy lately, mood-wise
gaunt reef
dude I barely ever studied for english, even the story books I wouldn't read again for exams
terse cargo
ouch
gaunt reef
and just wing it for the answers
terse cargo
that sucks
gaunt reef
I still behaved the same during the final exams lmao, but managed to get 95/100 on that too
silver mantle
@tropic folio wish I could help :c
tropic folio
and what's fucking annoying
terse cargo
me too
tropic folio
is I'm self-aware enough to know that this sadness is irrational
and yet am still sad
terse cargo
knowing that something isn't real doesn't mean that it doesn't affect you
tropic folio
that's fair
idk I just don't have much of a reason to be sad, besides overall stress
verbal pelican
Sohail, haha I know what you mean. I never understood how someone can’t write an essay. Like you literally get to make shit up.
Sorry you’re stressed, Schrö
terse cargo
i was good at making shit up, i was just not that good at writing it down
tropic folio
I can't really speak to English exams and such, as that was by far my best subject in school
😛
terse cargo
what was your worst subject?
tropic folio
maths
terse cargo
mine was history
tropic folio
which was weird because I was great with sciences
but really complex math stuff just ran circles around me
terse cargo
i scored only 2/15 points in history
bitter onyx
It's weird how people are more willing to admit they suck at math than at english
limber fractal
It's great you're self aware, @tropic folio. There are chemicals that don't help with depression. So it's something I've had to become mindful of for some time now. Including alcohol, caffeine, etc. Anything that messes with my sleep too.
tropic folio
I showed my history teacher I had some inkling of photographic memory and she said I didn't have to take notes for the rest of the year, provided I continued scoring 85/100 on tests
never had a test under 90
terse cargo
might be because most people assume that English being their mother language they should be good at it
tropic folio
I can confirm that's not the case
because I know way too many Americans that don't bother with proper grammar/spelling
FOR RESUMES AND SHIT
terse cargo
then it might be that just more people are bad at math than bad at English
silver mantle
My mom def drilled proper spelling and grammar into my head
tropic folio
honestly, I attribute my English skills to being encouraged to read from a really young age
by 5th grade I was reading stuff considered a 10th grade level, not even for classes, I just enjoyed getting lost in books
terse cargo
hmm i mostly learned English by playing games in English, watching English youtubers and talking with English speaking people online
tropic folio
religious studies was integrated into social studies when I was in high school
it was just a module we went through for like, two weeks out of a semester
terse cargo
I didn't have religious study
verbal pelican
Didn’t care for social studies either. But everything else was awesome. Bio and physics were the most interesting, followed by geography, history, lit.
terse cargo
i loved Physik and math
verbal pelican
Schrö, did you have bible studies as well?
silver mantle
I never had religion integrated and my parents were just like you go find whatever you like
tropic folio
I wish my parents had told me to find my own faith, so they could regret it when I considered FSM or paganism
would've been hilarious
verbal pelican
Yeah. In my school you had the option to take Islamic lessons but if you were secular, you could do Advanced English instead, so I picked that.
tropic folio
oh THAT'S what you meant by religious studies
tropic folio
yea nah we just had two weeks in social studies devoted to the big 3 Abrahamic religions
silver mantle
Mine would have only regretted it if I had become a hateful person
verbal pelican
Schrö, nah, we had separate religious studies as well.
Which was compulsory. Like history of religions etc.
tropic folio
honestly, thinking about it now, and knowing virtually nothing about the nuances of this choice, if I was told to find faith I'd probably be a Sikh
verbal pelican
Same, Aethena. Alltho asian parents cannot help but be disappointed when their child gets below 85%
terse cargo
i generally liked school looking back on it, just grade 3-7 sucked hard
verbal pelican
A sikh? That’s quite random.
terse cargo
because my class teacher was some major bs
tropic folio
I've never met a Sikh that was an asshole, so I'd be the diversity recruit 😛
like idk it just seems like a pretty zen-like religion
terse cargo
i hated her
verbal pelican
Haha they are very open and hospitable to everyone. But all sects have their quirks.
tropic folio
that's fair, although it's an argument against sects of any religion xD not wrong though
verbal pelican
I volunteered with a sikh friend at a gurudwara here. They are good people. Not a lot of crazy ideologies.
Oh definitely.
Sikhs can be more liberal and loving than some Buddhists I know, so 🤷🏻♀️
civic ferry
TBH if there was a paying job at the end of it, I would have tried a college track on comparative/historical religion
silver mantle
But bud is in the name!
civic ferry
It's pretty interesting
tropic folio
@silver mantle you're confusing Buddhism with Pastafarianism 😛
silver mantle
I see pasta in that wun
tropic folio
have you been touched by His Noodly Appendage
verbal pelican
Thena, you get tested at work?
terse cargo
yes it's a funny religion
civic ferry
Heh, the flying spaghetti monster
verbal pelican
Drugs.
silver mantle
No
verbal pelican
Not on your knowledge, lol
silver mantle
They only test you for drugs if its suspected
tropic folio
the fact that I get drug tested more than MsA says a bit about the state of US employment
terse cargo
instead of the commitments there are the "i would like it if you"
silver mantle
They regularly test for lead
civic ferry
I think it started as someone experimenting with getting some nonsense passed as an official religion
tropic folio
Pastafarianism is just three Atheisms in a trenchcoat, with a ridiculous meme game
terse cargo
the church of Satan is also funny
silver mantle
Hearing, heart issues, cancer indicators, lifetime exposure, other minor things
Obviosuly if you're an addict they'll prolly catch you too haha
But thats not the goal
tropic folio
ya know @silver mantle, you work in nuclear, I have a dumb question:
What did you think of that Netflix miniseries, Chernobyl? (I know that was Russian and you're a US nuke, but I'm asking anyway 😛 )
verbal pelican
Satanists are funny yeah.
silver mantle
I haven't seen it 😶
tropic folio
well then, as someone that has virtually no knowledge of actual nuclear mechanics besides "too much heat bad, heat good, cold bad, fission LOL" I recommend it 😛
silver mantle
Watch it with me sometime and you'll get a good idea what i think in real time
tropic folio
@silver mantle I mean I'd take that invitation c:
terse cargo
favorite quote from them
they were asked why they where obsessed with satan
their response:
we aren't, Christians are obsessed with Satan
verbal pelican
Reminds me of this Netflix doc I watched on some forensic expert, who is used as a witness in court, was using drugs in the lab from the evidence bags for years and no one was wiser.
silver mantle
And also possibly a lot of rambling like I do here lol
But yeah the reason heat bad is cuz metal melts eventually
jaunty copper
" I'm an expert on drugs TBH"
tropic folio
@verbal pelican maybe they were taking the phrase "drug test" literally?
verbal pelican
Heh, and very personally.
verbal pelican
Rights. Doggos. Later.
silver mantle
Bai
terse cargo
bye
jaunty copper
Bi
silver mantle
They also give me regular knowledge exams and security likes to know a lot of things
From what I understand a lot of drug tests are highly inaccurate too
civic ferry
Every job I've been at has claimed to require drug testing, and seem to be super concerned that I don't want to, so they never get around to it
Which is funny, because I'm basically a teetotaler
tropic folio
I will pee in a cup whenever bruh, no fucks given
silver mantle
Me too
terse cargo
me too
tropic folio
I'm also sober for quite some time now so xD
terse cargo
never took drugs in my life
silver mantle
Worst I did was weed
tropic folio
...no comment
terse cargo
i didn't even smoke
terse cargo
hmm i am sober for a while now
civic ferry
I wasn't in a good mental position for most of my youth, and had no interest in stuff that might push it more.
Now I just don't have the urge, I suppose.
tropic folio
that's a really refined outlook on it, ghost c:
terse cargo
i don't get opportunities to drink currently
silver mantle
I only enjoyed being high with one person and being high now sounds boring idk
civic ferry
I've been overthinking my life from a very young age 
tropic folio
pot makes me paranoid and simultaneously tired as hell, all while giggly for some reason
not a very comfortable experience for me
so I avoid it 😛
civic ferry
Hah, my wife got paranoid the time she tried
terse cargo
most stoners i new where interesting to meet for the first time but got boring or annoying quickly
civic ferry
She had a buddy on hand to keep her ok
tropic folio
trip sitters are golden friendships ❤️
civic ferry
Apparently did pcp once in college and had a very interesting walkabout around her campus
bitter onyx
I'm in kind of a weird position with this stuff personally
I spent a year in france a few years back and it was a really bad experience, and being france the entire town consistently smelled like a mix of urine, alcohol, and pot
It just kinda put me off all of it
civic ferry
Pft. I'm never sure how much of that is stereotyping
civic ferry
Or like, what would happen if someone judges the whole US by one state
tropic folio
I thought France smelled like cigarettes, noir films, and tourists shouting "DONDE ESTAS LE TOWER EIFFELL?"
terse cargo
not really won me over
bitter onyx
Yeah cigs too
civic ferry
Lmao spanish
tropic folio
yes that was intentional xD
terse cargo
like i was so exited to be in Paris
bitter onyx
But yeah paris was a fucking luxury resort compared to where I ended up
terse cargo
and then we landed there
civic ferry
spanish with a 'le'
terse cargo
and yeah it went downhill from there
tropic folio
(don't say LeMans don't say LeMans don't say LeMans)
bitter onyx
Not exaggerating when I say 90% of the town's residents were xenophobic
terse cargo
they are like that in Paris too, not that high percentage of course but still a lot of people
bitter onyx
It becomes a lot more aggressive outside of paris
tropic folio
I'm just gonna sit here
and not mention xenophobia in Texas
because it's a tangent
and this is #off-topic-bond-james-bond not #archived-old-serious 😛
terse cargo
well kinda
the system works like this
from grade 1-7 you have 1.5 hours at the start of each day which is called mainlesson that time is always taught by your class teacher and it cycles through themes for 4weeks it might be math then its Physik for 4weeks and then it's history
tropic folio
that sounds like Crossfit for your brain
terse cargo
that means for 7 years you have one teacher that basically oversees your class
terse cargo
which is of course a big responsibility for that teacher
tropic folio
LMAO I got to work and it was 90ish outside, when I left at 2:30AM it was 57
it felt great
silver mantle
All I have is a hoodie no jacket 😭
terse cargo
i absolutely hated my class teacher
tropic folio
but hoodies are the best >.>
terse cargo
like most of my class
tropic folio
and winter gives me the opportunity to flex unnecessarily hard on random strangers
