but pronounce jiffer master

[limber fractal]

the streak is for any language you do on duolingo, das tru. i've done trees learning languages in all directions so from french to english, from spanish to french... all those counted towards my xp for leaderboard stuff i'd do for other achievements and for my streak. so for the english to french tree, i have quite a bit left

[limber fractal]

Gleam loves jiffer masters. altho he'd prob prefer calling them gifoes. cuz they're evil. he's no likey. well, in nms channels

[zenith pebble]

I’d be worried about your own mentality with an attitude like that

[eternal thorn]

Be more worried about how easily influenced you are i guess. You see one article supposedly saying a trans person killed a kid and now you think all trans people kill kids? The hell

[zenith pebble]

i wanna say thats xenophobic, but thats not exactly correct

[mint spear]

This is the wildest thing I've read in a long while.

i love smoothies

Berry banana

[wheat burrow]

[eternal thorn]

A smoothie is way better than what you missed

[limber fractal]

@wheat burrow loved seeing your alert luv u

[mint spear]

Did you use the modhelp command?

[sterile tartan]

Is a mix, has strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries

[wheat burrow]

These algorithms of “here’s someone you may know” should be “here’s someone who can educate you and is willing to”

[mint spear]

ModHelp is my favourite command tbh. I like to think it pings the mods in a secret channel.

[limber fractal]

lol well, the reason why i laugh, is cuz he got even more creative by using a slur that'd flag Gleam and me

[mint spear]

I have a reasonable telescope. I’d like to upgrade though soon

[spiral zephyr]

They have paint like that, so you can write in chalk all over your home.

not paint lol

actual chalkboard walls

[wheat burrow]

This is the one I have, Meade ETX125

i prefer to abstain from feeding wild life because it's not ideal for a balanced ecosystem unfortunately. as cute as they are, they can become a problem that leads to measures i'm not a fan of

[eternal thorn]

You can't stop me
I'm poor, and sometimes I cheat in singleplayer video games

[runic violet]

Why cheat though

[eternal thorn]

Because when I've beaten the game, I want to do more

[red bough]

i agree with the general sentiment, but am unsure how much a squirrel in the middle of a big city qualifies as "wildlife". 😄

[limber fractal]

who cheats? definition of "cheating" is incredibly subjective. sooooo, hopefully we do abstain from "cheat debates" when it comes to NMS

[eternal thorn]

I've cheated on tests in school

[runic violet]

It should mean don’t lie if your poor and don’t be too conceited

[limber fractal]

still wild tho, if they're living out and about

[sterile tartan]

I cheat my own brain

[mint spear]

I cheat my own brain

[limber fractal]

that should apply to poor AND rich

[runic violet]

[limber fractal]

don't see how financial wealth plays a factor into the concept of "cheating"

[mint spear]

That's real kind of you to return the $5k you find.

[zenith pebble]

wait someone say the cheat?

just go see the wiggles live

nO

[eternal thorn]

I have been to only 1

And I was like... 16 or 17

Edgefest 20, Google should show the full lineup for that

But public outings aren't for me

I was too young for that concert tbh

[mint spear]

I did DnB and Dubstep raves if that counts as concerts.

[eternal thorn]

They had alcohol

And women would flash as well

[mint spear]

Hmmm, I do like both of them things.

[eternal thorn]

Worse, there were cameras that showed them flashing up on big screens near the band

omg how terrible.

[eternal thorn]

[rotund finch]

i have been to good ones, gorillaz a couple times, lots of hiphop

three days grace is a lovely band

Can't even remember the music because of how fucking comical she looked

[rotund finch]

whoever told her that was a good look needs thier head examined

lol i bet

i'd probably be laughing

[eternal thorn]

He sang The Kill at that concert, and for some reason felt the need to pause and run to a different part of the stadium a few times to continue the song from there

LETS GOOOO

Terraria just hit 9th on the list of best selling video games!

[round hamlet]

Minecraft is still the best selling YES!

[wheat burrow]

It would be interesting to see adjusted statistics of sales vs global population vs global available machines etc

I’m sure it could look quite different given that

[scarlet gorge]

Kirby 😀

[eternal thorn]

I sure wish that game was longer

And tougher

The "hard" mode isn't even hard

[dim egret]

Kirby?

[eternal thorn]

Yea

[dim egret]

Ah, i was gonna say, master mode terraria is an ordeal

And we are apparently getting an even harder difficulty with the coming update

[eternal thorn]

I tried to like Terraria

[dim egret]

Aww

[eternal thorn]

I really did

But its not for me

[dim egret]

Thats okay

[eternal thorn]

I just wish Starbound did better

[dim egret]

They won the Labor of Love award this year. Because of that we are getting the 4th update after the "Final" update. They are taking tons of feedback for this update and constantly asking the community what they want on twitter

[dry bison]

holy shit what a day. Woke up at 0430 on 3 hours sleep helping mum with back pain. Got to pre-op appointment and did all that jazz until 0900. Got home by 1100, had to run some errands and did some yard work...was a little tuckered out so had a nap...Woke up at 1600 more exhausted than ever.

[wheat burrow]

Look after yourself, Mumbles. I hope your mum is doing ok dude

[zenith pebble]

there is a yoyo weapon in terraria that is a real yoyo

https://onedropyoyos.com/yoyos/terrarian/

[jovial dragon]

Man that game is ass.

[dry bison]

The ass game

[jovial dragon]

Garbage. Ass. Booty, it's all relative.

[dry bison]

Except ass is not garbage.

I agree though. Relatives are garbage.

[jovial dragon]

What just happened? 😭😂

[eternal thorn]

Eh Terraria is fine. I see how it appeals to many, but its not for me.

[jovial dragon]

I didn't like it.

Just seemed like a 2d rip off of Minecraft.

If people like it that's awesome, but it ain't me.

[fervent zinc]

Okay I have learned a piece… now my piano teacher wants me to learn comptine d'un autre été

And victors piano solo

[jaunty copper]

yes

[dim egret]

@jovial dragon dont make me throw hands with a vet

[jovial dragon]

You could try.

[dim egret]

"The game is ass"

[jovial dragon]

Yea. I think so.

[jovial dragon]

Why am I looking at this?

[dim egret]

Because terraria is a great fucking game

[jovial dragon]

Pass.

[dim egret]

I refuse to speak to a man who thinks terraria is ass. You can say the game is not for you. But its not ass

[jovial dragon]

That is quite literally what I just said.

[jovial dragon]

Right here.

So would you like to try that again?

I said the game was ass, that doesn't make it a fact.

[sterile tartan]

Calm down

[jovial dragon]

Hey, all I was doing was defending myself, nothing more nothing less, just to be clear

[silent wagon]

Yeah I don't think that was aimed at you, lol

[sterile tartan]

You're fine, I was mostly referring to how big a deal was made about you not liking the game

[jovial dragon]

I see.

If so, it's hard to tell via text.

[sterile tartan]

I wasn't specific, makes sense to not know who I was referring to. That's my bad

[jovial dragon]

Ah, I see. I apologize in any case.

[sterile tartan]

Appreciated

[jovial dragon]

In other news, I'm unemployed again.

For a few months anyway.

[sterile tartan]

Oh, what happened?

[jovial dragon]

I got fired. Technically, although I did ask for it.

I had a contract, so if I got fired I'd get a termination bonus.

I'm going back into military service in a couple of months, I just need a long vacation before I'm ready for that haha.

[sterile tartan]

Ahh, alright. So it wasn't anything bad, technically? Just a need for a break?

[jovial dragon]

Yeah pretty much haha.

I grew up with these guys, so it wasn't hard to convince them to "fire" me.

[sterile tartan]

Haha, that works then

[jovial dragon]

Yessir.

Excited to get back to military service, but I'm also pretty worried.

[sterile tartan]

I won't even begin to pretend I understand the feeling, but it seems like it would be a bit worrying yeah

[jovial dragon]

It's not what you think.

My career was field work, very few people do that.

In the entire force...I think there were 500 people who had my job?

In general?? That's not a lot of people

[jovial dragon]

It's not.

The job is also high risk.

[dry bison]

Military service. I think that's a job you are either really into or really not.

[jovial dragon]

Yeah...pretty much.

You gotta be ..all in

There no"I dunno....maybe...?"

It's either you are born for it or you aren't.

In the United States anyway, I can't speak for other nations.

[dry bison]

Bonus: Guaranteed career as long as you last with virtually unlimited options for expansion into other professions thanks to educational support systems.

[jovial dragon]

Military careers are phenomally good.

I received a $50,000 sign on bonus.

[dry bison]

I'm probably too old to even apply to join the military

[jovial dragon]

Because of the job I picked mostly.

[dry bison]

"Sorry Grampa. We only hire children."

[jovial dragon]

How old are ye?

[dry bison]

Older than recruit age.

[jovial dragon]

17-39 for most jobs.

[dry bison]

Max age for recruit is 35.

[jovial dragon]

Since when?

[dry bison]

I'm going by google results. I don't know for sure

https://www.thebalancecareers.com/us-military-enlistment-standards-3354001

[jovial dragon]

I was air force, I can't speak for other branches..

I know next to nothing about the other ones other then the basics.

[dry bison]

Ah. Looks like 40 in the air national guard.

[jovial dragon]

Interesting.

It also depends on the job sometimes.

Mine stopped at 39.

[dry bison]

Yeah. Says 39 for Air Force, Naval Reserves and Coast Guard Reserves

[jovial dragon]

Yeah, something like that

You can stay in much later then that if you enlisted prior.

Especially officers.

A lot of people stay late into their 60s I think because that's all they know.

I'd also be lying if I said it wasn't fun.

I can't speak for other careers but I got to jump out of airplanes and shit for a living.

Who wouldn't want to do that and get paid for it?

[dry bison]

I watched an interview with one guy who was a gunner in the air force, said the recruits there got the joy of smelling the toxic fumes while firing off the guns...Not sure what that was all about. He said that it was carcinogenic and that tons of people would leave the military because of the health impact of the carcinogens they were breathing in on the job

[jovial dragon]

Uh, yeah I dunno about all that.

I wasn't a gunner though so I wouldn't know.

[dry bison]

Literally the only reason I like VR Chat now a days are the people you meet on there. I don't use it myself, but I listen to interviews with people that are essentially anonymous

They're pretty candid. I can't speak to the veracity of the claims, but they seem interesting.

Seems to be a significant number of veterans go on there like it's therapy

[jovial dragon]

Hey I mean, ic it's interesting that's what matters lol.

Most of the shit I watch isn't true, probably, but it's all interesting.

[jovial dragon]

I've been playing A LOT of Minecraft recently.

[ruby bay]

How many of y'all use Linux?

[jovial dragon]

This shit brings me back to the old days.

[dry bison]

old days?

[jovial dragon]

Yeah, when I was a young lad.

2011 - 2014.

[dry bison]

That's around when I bought my last house.

I feel super old now

THANKS

Is it hard to afford a house in the military?

[ruby bay]

You wanna go to the military?

[dry bison]

nope

[ruby bay]

Anyone?

[split gazelle]

Good night guys

[tribal siren]

I have to present a poster on Lybian sedimentology stuff tomorrow at 9am

But my neighbours are having a massive house party

🙃

It's so loud

[night bobcat]

Yay

[dry bison]

Sedimentology. Interesting. Why a poster? Did you make a poster on Lybian sedimentology for class?

[lucid granite]

he did it just for fun

[dry bison]

Is it called rock and roll?

Or...Rock and role?

The role of Lybia on the world of rock.

You get to write a story that puts Lybia like the antagonist against the protagonist, rock

Did you mean Libyan sedimentology?

Oh it's the same thing

Words....They're so wordy

[tribal siren]

I'm doing an oil related module for university, and we've been given a sedimentary basin to make a poster about

[dry bison]

I miss doing school projects.

[tribal siren]

My group is doing one about the Sirte basin in Lybia, it has (had I guess) about 43 billion barrels of oil in reserves

I will too when I graduate in July 😭

I'll hopefully do a masters though

[dry bison]

Do you know what era the oil comes from?

Looking at a core sample map of the sirte basin. The substrate goes as far back as the Paleozoic era

Oop found another at sepmastrata...

[tribal siren]

Multiple eras, from then all the way up to post tertiary

[dry bison]

Is older oil better?

[tribal siren]

Not really I don't think, if anything it's harder to get the longer it's there

With tectonic activity, alteration/ other processes on the rocks etc

[dry bison]

Maybe. The weird way that basin looks from the side, it looks like there's a ton of movement there

[tribal siren]

Yeah it's from the collapse of another tectonic feature

[tribal siren]

A dome which formed during the variscan

That's all faulting from the extension of the basin

[dry bison]

Looks like it's going toward Amal

[tribal siren]

It's a triple junction rift valley which is pretty cool

I'm not sure about the mechanics of how that happened though

[dry bison]

Do you know how old drilling is in the region?

The impact of drilling, types etc has had on tectonic movement

[tribal siren]

Oddly enough it doesn't really appear on the surface, it got discovered in the 1950s during a gravitational survey iirc

They found like 11 major oil fields shortly after they started exploring for oil in 1957

But other than that I'm not sure

Drilling would only have had a tectonic impact more recently I think

What with fracking

[dry bison]

Not necessarily. A vacuum in the ground can impact tectonic movement. Removing oil creates that vacuum.

Though I don't know how much oil would need to be removed...I'm guessing a lot, but then oil is a means to decrease friction in the ground...So removing it could increase friction.

[tribal siren]

True

I guess it could maybe lead to subsidence too? I'm not sure

[dry bison]

Your group choose the region or was it assigned?

[tribal siren]

We were assigned it

[dry bison]

Looks like a fascinating area. What direction is the presentation going?

Is it just going to be a general info session or are you sending a messsage with some sort of narrative?

[tribal siren]

Yeah we just have to deliver a general overview

[dry bison]

There's a ton of carbon capture in the stones of that region.

[tribal siren]

That reminds me

[dry bison]

Carbonoceous calcareous shale, 700-1000 feet thick

[tribal siren]

I'm not sure if you already know this, but mountain building events directly control global climate

[dry bison]

For sure.

[pure nymph]

Anyone got any ideas for my movement shooter? Or what you would want in a movement shooter

Having trouble trying to figure out how to make the game unique and special and not just copy paste of every other shooter

[dry bison]

Elaborate: Movement shooter

"Super Hot" ?

[pure nymph]

Basically a fast paced shooter where there is a lot of parkour involved

Wall running double jumping etc

Like titan fall I guess

[night bobcat]

Super Hot is the most innovative shooter I have played in years.

Super

Hot

[lucid granite]

played the VR version, very neat

[pure nymph]

Super hot is really fun. I don’t want to copy it though

[dry bison]

I only wish that there were martial arts games like super hot with no guns

[pure nymph]

It’s really hard to make something original

Anything I think of already exists

Getting an idea is harder than coding the game itself

[dry bison]

Doing something well is more important than doing something original.

[ornate steppe]

as a writer, its more about the exicution, every one has an idea, no one wants to do the work

[tribal siren]

I'd say a few melee related moves always mix well with parlour

[pure nymph]

At the moment I’m just perfecting the movement system. But I’m close to finishing it and I’m starting to think what the purpose of the game actually will be

I was thinking of having some kind of modular skill tree system, where you can choose between different abilities (not all at once)

[dry bison]

Parkour capture the flag football rocket league

[pure nymph]

So you could have multiple different builds for different play styles

[ornate steppe]

pain to balance though

[pure nymph]

Don’t think I’m going to make it multiplayer because balancing is a pain and multiplayer itself is harder than making a game

[dry bison]

You get two players per team and have to do parkour movement from one side of the map to the other, capture a flag and toss it to your mate at least once for the goal to count when you get it back, which opens you up to being intercepted if you're not parkoury enough

[pure nymph]

Main reason why a lot of indie devs make single player games

[ornate steppe]

even single player on a skill tree, you'll have someone whose haert is set on using that one skill that's like the packet of yeast in my baking cubord and be upset that its neglected

[pure nymph]

That’s true yeah

Which is why I thought of an even dumber idea

There are 3 unique skill trees, and the game just switches between them

That’s a horrible idea actually

[dry bison]

Could just do a parkour game with a focus on the mechanics of the skill and the characters doing it have different skills. If you have lower height, you might not be able to do the same kind of movements another would do...Forcing you to, in a randomized map need to focus on your particular characters skills and limitations to optimize travel

Which is the point of parkour

Optimizing energy use from A to B

Someone with more height could do some jumps easier than others, but someone shorter could maneuver in tighter spaces easier, etc

[pure nymph]

Maybe yeah

But I feel like the game should be very fast paced

Having to change might be a pain

[dry bison]

Is it a sandbox or narrative driven game?

Are you thinking "I'm a pizza delivery driver with a penchant for throwing pizza off rooftops"?

[pure nymph]

Not exactly sure yet but it might just be beating a bunch of levels kind of game

[dry bison]

Can characters get hurt?

[pure nymph]

Yeah

[dry bison]

Because getting hurt is almost as fun as doing proper parkour in a game

You could make a sandbox of parkour with a focus on the consequences of the screw ups for added flavor, and rather than spend all your time trying to create some sort of metric system that rewards people for success with points and such, just do a sort of "Skate" game, but with parkour

[night bobcat]

I think if you have parkour, you should have penalties fitting for screwing up a move

Broken bones, sprains, death etc

snap

[dry bison]

Finding dumb ways to die is a game in and of itself

[night bobcat]

Aye

[pure nymph]

Yeah that would be pretty fun

[dry bison]

Then contact the dumb ways to die team and get a license for their song in your game...become a sort of self deprecating developer

Gamers love hating themselves for fun.

See: Bennett Foddy

[pure nymph]

Lol

[dry bison]

Game has only one achievement. That achievement is based on finding the most ways to die...

That would piss off zero death gamers lol

To whit I say: YAS QUEEN

[pure nymph]

Lmao

I mean so far jumping and sliding is very satisfying. Wall running is still a bit broken

[dry bison]

Add slow motion and change gravity so wall running becomes more like wall do other weird shit on the wall while going by'ing

Wall dancing

Wall prancing

Wall skipping

Wall skinny dipping

Wall The Worm

I dunno.

I don't normal

[night bobcat]

Skinny dipping probably not so much

[dry bison]

Or add the ability to undo an action up to the last second so you can perfect your run at any point and then watch it playback at the end like some sort of crazy john woo fight

[safe path]

My next post is this

[jovial dragon]

Depends.

[civic ferry]

From what I've heard it depends on whether the soldier is married, and their rank

[jovial dragon]

Marriage doesn't really play into it that much, not in my experience. The higher your rank the better the pay. The more years you serve the more you get paid as well.

[opaque tartan]

internal screaming

[proud sand]

Guys

I'm not in any other discord servers with an off topic

And I can't send an image of it

But there r 2 weird red clusters on my skin

Can I have perms to send an image?

It's not gross

I just don't know what it is

And I looked it up but I found petechiae and thatd not it

[civic ferry]

Are they clusters of three bites?

[violet plover]

can you describe them maybe?

might be a rash

[proud sand]

No

Whoops

Replied to wrong one

[violet plover]

lmao

[civic ferry]

Kek

[proud sand]

No

It's like if you took a graph and it had a straight line and all the dots are plotted along the line, somewhere close to the line

But red dots

[civic ferry]

There are a number of biting bugs around atm.
Glad it's not the triplets.
Those are usually bedbugs, and more tenacious than a ketchup stain

[proud sand]

Phew

[civic ferry]

Hmm
https://www.healthline.com/health/bug-bites-in-a-line

Wait, this says bedbugs make lines.
What the heck does triangles

[violet plover]

that sounds like an allergy test lmao im sorry

[proud sand]

Want me to dm u the image

It's not gross

[violet plover]

nah its good

[proud sand]

@sterile tartan can I have perms to post sn image? You can remove perms afterward

A mod that's online and doesn't respond to ping

1/10 ⭐

[night bobcat]

Wow

[sterile tartan]

It's been two minutes

I was busy

[night bobcat]

No perms for you

Like ever lol

[dry bison]

Spirit@isSo#lazy4Reelz

😛

[sterile tartan]

Anyway, you have to send messages to get XP, so you can get the familiar role

[proud sand]

Typing lol

[sterile tartan]

Then you can send images

[proud sand]

How many messages

[dry bison]

250000

[proud sand]

Is there a spam channel?

[dry bison]

No

Spam gets you pam

You do not want Pam

[proud sand]

Pqm?

Pam?

[night bobcat]

Sometimes you want Pam

[sterile tartan]

You can track your XP in #bot-spam with the .xp command. Spam doesn't get you xp any faster than regular messaging

[proud sand]

Wtf?!

That's too muchh

[dry bison]

Oh. Also don't believe anything I say

[proud sand]

Lol

Spirit

[dry bison]

I mumblesmalarky

[sterile tartan]

Yes

[proud sand]

Could I send it to you and you put it in chat pls

You def have image perms right?

And since it goes thru u you can makes u're it's a safe image

Sure*

[sterile tartan]

It doesn't really seem like chat wants to see. But if you need, I could try to help you figure out what the marks are on your arm

[proud sand]

Yes please

[sterile tartan]

Alright, go ahead and dm the pic

[dry bison]

The marks on my arm are freckles.

I be a freckly boy

Freckles sound like cutesy swears

Oh freckles.

[civic ferry]

I forgot Pam when making waffles yesterday. I was sad.

[dry bison]

I made pancakes this week using a machine designed for making hot sandwiches. It was revolutionary for my pancake game.

I expanded and now can make easy over eggs in it too

[civic ferry]

Panini press? Haha

[dry bison]

It doesn't have any grills on it but I guess similar. One sec I can find the model

Hamilton Beach breakfast burrito maker

Bottom shelf, pour pancake mix or egg, and it cooks really nice with a ring that keeps the egg in

[civic ferry]

Oh a wrap thing. Bet you can do crepe too

[dry bison]

Or use top shelf. Not a huge difference save for space for cooking.

Welcome back nate

[opaque tartan]

I shared a burger maker that's like this

Astronomy Pic of the Day: Gravity s Grin

Explanation: Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, published over 100 years ago, predicted the phenomenon of gravitational lensing. And that's what gives these distant galaxies such a whimsical appearance, seen through the looking glass of X-ray and optical image data from the Chandra and Hubble space telescopes. Nicknamed the Cheshire Cat galaxy group, the group's two large elliptical galaxies are suggestively framed by arcs. The arcs are optical images of distant background galaxies lensed by the foreground group's total distribution of gravitational mass. Of course, that gravitational mass is dominated by dark matter. The two large elliptical "eye" galaxies represent the brightest members of their own galaxy groups which are merging. Their relative collisional speed of nearly 1,350 kilometers/second heats gas to millions of degrees producing the X-ray glow shown in purple hues. Curiouser about galaxy group mergers? The Cheshire Cat group grins in the constellation Ursa Major, some 4.6 billion light-years away.

[mint spear]

Thanks Guntie.

[tender marlin]

Have you ever just stared at a game in the Microsoft store because u are broke?

Me currently

[jovial dragon]

Yo whatever the fuck this is I NEED it.

[jovial dragon]

When I was like 12 maybe.

As an adult, not so much.

[tender marlin]

As an adult, you have a source of income tho

As a minor

U do not

[jovial dragon]

Depends on the age.

I got my first job when I was...16 I think?

[tender marlin]

I’m just under the legal age to work

[silent wagon]

Source of income=/=disposable income

[tender marlin]

True

But you need a source of income to get disposable income

[jovial dragon]

I mean, if you plan everything out right, you shouldn't have to worry about money that much by the time a person is 30.

I'm in my early 20s and I don't have to.

[tender marlin]

The game I want isn’t even a new game to me. I had it on disk, and my ex stole it from me

[jovial dragon]

You are 15 and already have an ex?

[tender marlin]

Mhm :/

2 of them

[jovial dragon]

What in the hell?

[tender marlin]

What?

Kids can’t date?

[jovial dragon]

Not at that age, hell naw.

[tender marlin]

I’m in high school

High schoolers date all the time

[jovial dragon]

At 15...?

That don't sound right.

[tender marlin]

Mhm

Freshman

[jovial dragon]

But then again, new generation. My generation isn't quite as...there really isn't a way to put this nicely

[tender marlin]

As stupid as ours

I know

[jovial dragon]

I wouldn't go that far.

[tender marlin]

We’re slowly crumbling as a society, as a new generation rises

[tender marlin]

It’s the truth lol

[jovial dragon]

Well, not the people I surround myself with.

[pure nymph]

There will be no new generation

[tender marlin]

The sun will explode

Rn

Boom

[jovial dragon]

Everyone I surround myself with is my age and all have wife's, homes, cars, good jobs, are all successful.

[silent wagon]

I'm in my mid 20s and yes, we are just as dumb as you. Yours gives me more hope than the shit generations before us, LMAO

[pure nymph]

Nah we will kill ourselves way before that happens

[jovial dragon]

This new generation, no offense, doesn't seem to be going into that direction.

[tender marlin]

[pure nymph]

Which generation are we talkin about now

[tender marlin]

I don’t want a wife

[pure nymph]

I want a dog

[tender marlin]

Women make me feel bad about myself

[jovial dragon]

Aren't you a woman?

[tender marlin]

Every woman I’ve been with has hurt me

[pure nymph]

You just have to find the right one .

[jovial dragon]

[pure nymph]

Not all women are shit

[jovial dragon]

Some of us get lucky, some of us don't.

[tender marlin]

Bi

[jovial dragon]

I've been with the same chick since highschool.

Bisexual isn't a gender.

[pure nymph]

Lol

[tender marlin]

Sexuality

[jovial dragon]

Okay, that ain't what I asked, though.

[silent wagon]

This is why your generation are my fuckin heroes 😆

[tender marlin]

EXACTLY

I’d much rather a kitten than have another abusive ex

[silent wagon]

We don't need more people, I'm here for more dogs being adopted tho

[tender marlin]

Real talk

[jovial dragon]

Then make better choices.

[tender marlin]

I don’t disclose my gender online because I don’t like my current one irl

[pure nymph]

I haven’t been in a relationship since middle school so I can’t really say much

💀

[jovial dragon]

2 people in a row, that's starting to become a pattern.

[silent wagon]

Earth is overpopulated as it is, fuck boomer standards and live your own life. Bless Zoomers, fr

[jovial dragon]

It's time to take a step back for some self reflection.

[tender marlin]

Truth

Regardless of when I dated or whatever, she still stole from me

[pure nymph]

Population is actually decreasing a bit.

[jovial dragon]

I say fuck everything.

Be your own person.

[silent wagon]

Thank god

Keep it up

[jovial dragon]

Just gotta find what you click with.

[pure nymph]

Less people are having children. The only reason we still see growth is because humans are living longer. If you look like 40 years ago people would live up to like 60 years

The average now is like 80

[jovial dragon]

Wanna be like me and jump out of planes for a living? Do it. Wanna be a Doctor? Go for it. Teacher? Hell yeah.

Everyone is capable.

You just have to put in the work.

You'll get out of life what you put into it.

[tender marlin]

You jump out of planes?

[silent wagon]

👏Less👏kids👏more👏squids👏

[pure nymph]

Put in the work

Put in the hours

[jovial dragon]

Yeah, used to.

Going back in to do the same soon.

[pure nymph]

And take what’s ours

[tender marlin]

That doesn’t seem healthy

[jovial dragon]

I mean, getting shot at wasn't either.

Did that, too.

Sorry, bad joke.

I ain't jumping out of a perfectly good plane, smh

[jovial dragon]

I hate you so much right now.

😆

[silent wagon]

That bitch better be on fire with zero hope of a good landing if I'm jumping

[jovial dragon]

Actually, I've had that happen before.

No joke.

[tender marlin]

Ur in the military?

[pure nymph]

I’m still young but what I’ve learned is that you only have one life, so don’t miss any opportunities. If you find a person you like just do it. If they end up making you feel like shit then you learn from it and become stronger. You learn to find the right person

[jovial dragon]

Anyway.

Was 2,000 feet, ready for drop and one of the engines exploded.

[pure nymph]

Life is just a big trial and error

[silent wagon]

I'm just gonna refuse to get on planes Tom Cruise ain't on, I trust that mfer to Mission Impossible us a good landing if necessary

[pure nymph]

You do mistakes and learn from them

[tender marlin]

Why do people enlist?

Other than the money and the “serving the country” part

[jovial dragon]

For different reasons.

I did it so that others can keep their freedom.

And their lives.

[tender marlin]

I appreciate it

[jovial dragon]

Eh, some don't.

But that doesn't matter.

[dusty magnet]

Halo show is kinda cool ngl

It's growing on me

[jovial dragon]

I preach about military service a lot, especially now, in all the servers I'm in

It's a fantastic career choice.

I didn't used to, though.

Also, not a lot of pope understand what it's like....people seem to think you just sign a few papers and it's just like any other job.

This isn't true.

People don't seem to grasp the concept of it.

They think it's too easy or too hard.

[tender marlin]

It’s a lot of prepping

I know that

[jovial dragon]

For what?

This is news to me.

[tender marlin]

Like getting the physical training and shit

If you’re a frontline

Or a marine

[jovial dragon]

I mean, I was Frontline but it was never prepping

More just waiting around untill shit hits the fan.

You'd be shooting the shit with your buddies, then it's "grab your shit, wheels up in 5 minutes".

And off you went to some third world country.

[tender marlin]

Ah

My exs brother was in the military

He threatened to assassinate me if I hurt her lol

But in reality, she’s the one that hurt me

[jovial dragon]

Sounds like her brother was a prick.

Depending on what he did, shit he might of.

[tender marlin]

He was a marine aswell

[jovial dragon]

Oh, yeah, dude would kill you.

He could kill you a hundred different ways.

[tender marlin]

I’m fully aware

[jovial dragon]

Hell, I was Air Force and I could kill someone a hundred different ways.

[tender marlin]

I’m glad I’m not with her anymore

He scared me

[jovial dragon]

Why?

We aren't supposed to be scary, dude was clearly a POS.

Our job is to serve you, not the other way around.

[tender marlin]

I know. HE was scary

[jovial dragon]

That rank doesn't grant him power over you, not in the way you think.

[tender marlin]

He said he didn’t care about jail time

Or any of that

[jovial dragon]

Probably joined up for the fame and money.

Few and between those, but they do exist

Most of us join because of patriotism.

Though the perks and money doesn't hurt.

And there's a lot of both to go around.

[tender marlin]

Yea

[jovial dragon]

I can understand where the dude is coming from though.

Not my style though, also my sisters are adults, one has two kids

They can take care of themselves.

One was Army, the other was going to go Marines at one time.

[tender marlin]

I’m not fit for that kinda shit tbh

Both literally and metaphorically

[jovial dragon]

Huh?

For what?

TIme for some Division 2.

[elder shale]

Some @dusty magnets

[dusty magnet]

BEES

[limber fractal]

where is that?

[elder shale]

I dunno
