The epstein thing is way too interesting ngl. Despite that being obviously creepy and messed up, its so interesting which kinda celebrity and president are in these files

[round pendant]

I find it incredibly interesting how there's just no checks and balances

but

this is an apolitical channel, lil gup

[solid sun]

Jakey likes when we discuss politics

[toxic pewter]

That my bad I shouldn’t of brought it up

That on me

[solid sun]

apb. A politics buff

Should have known

[drowsy comet]

Yea I am careful what I say, just saying this is interesting

[toxic pewter]

Lol

[drowsy comet]

A political buffalo

[round pendant]

I mean the epstein shit isn't political

or it shouldn't be

but everything involving the handling of it is off limits to talk about with the no politics rule I guess 😔

[upbeat plover]

[mighty valley]

if the epstein files isn't "political" then we have absolutely no definition of the word "politics" that makes sense lmao

[upbeat plover]

The pvp chat has dabbled in the dark arts a time or two.
But Late said it was chill

[solid sun]

Guess it’s fine then

Probably mostly depends on the nature of the conversation or smth

[round pendant]

How is it political

It's been politicised but fundamentally it shouldn't be political

at all

That's alls I'm sayin

bit of a moot point ig tho

[mighty valley]

it's about how the richest people in the world cause change in government and finance?

[solid sun]

I thought it was about the elite diddling kids

How was I so way off the mark

[round pendant]

I can't explain without becoming politics

[drowsy comet]

Just ban us smh

[mighty valley]

i mean. crime and punishment and justice are also political topics

[round pendant]

😔

That's fair, but not exactly the section of politics that's banned from being spoken about in videogame discords

[mighty valley]

i genuinely don't know what your definition of politics is. like, exclusively political party stuff?

[drowsy comet]

Dont u dare hover over the ban button

I think there’s something to be said about political conversations that are also moral conversations

[upbeat plover]

Yam asked for it, and who am I to deny

[solid sun]

As opposed to like processes and checks and balances and the parties

[drowsy comet]

[upbeat plover]

Indifferent tbh

[undone beacon]

God dont start with that

[upbeat plover]

I can delete your messages tho

:)

[undone beacon]

I had a friend in college who was like "when you think about it everything is politics" and he was fucking insufferable

[solid sun]

I just meant like

Something can be about ethics and morals or something can be more economic focused or something can be more like the mechanisms at work

But they all fit under the umbrella of politics

:(

[upbeat plover]

Well, for the record

What I think is correct

If you think otherwise, you are wrong

:)

[round pendant]

[solid sun]

I’m sorry pash I don’t wanna be insufferable

[round pendant]

You're quite sufferable rhino dw

I’ll never complain about the characters in games

We should start a podcast

[solid sun]

We can format it where I ask questions and you tell me like it is

[toxic pewter]

i am just a simple keyboard individudal

My problem is I am socially odd. It's a good life

Especially all of the times women hit on you and you don't notice.

Good times

[solid sun]

Okay I’ll ask questions and apb can type out answers and then the little robot person will convert the text to speech

why can't they be like this when I'm single

[toxic pewter]

that do be true

[solid sun]

Yam in the club, alone, drinking a martini that’s shaken, not stirred. An interested party wanders up and sits down. Compliments his outfit. Yam responds, “why is no one ever interested in me”

[toxic pewter]

XD

[solid sun]

I think you’re just being too humble and modest yam. I bet you have all these people interested in you all the time and they think they’re revealing it to you but you just never see it because of how humble you are

[round pendant]

I'm not that much of a loser rhino wtf

Are you hinting at something? 😳

[solid sun]

Yeah yam let’s slam

[mighty valley]

i bet there's a relation between all the times you think insults are aimed at you and all the times you don't notice flirting

[round pendant]

well fwiw I don't really have that issue nowadays

[solid sun]

See harrow sees it too

[drowsy comet]

I dont wanna hurt anybody's feelings

We aren’t allowed to have feelings

It happens sometimes when I'm single too, just more subtle so I don't notice

And I was only technically taken. I had only went on 1 blind date with the girl and then hung out a few times lol

Happy enough actually isn’t necessarily the most someone can ask for. What if they choose happiness in spite of their circumstances

[drowsy comet]

Mods can react to messages? Smh

[round pendant]

"enough" implies it's meeting the threshold no?

[upbeat plover]

Are you 30 this year?

[round pendant]

Yeah next month

[upbeat plover]

[solid sun]

I don’t think so. Because they could choose to be “happy enough” even if their needs aren’t being met or things are going poorly

[dusky canopy]

Mods get to have all the fun

Smh my head

[solid sun]

It’s commendable but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t ask for more

i think kanga reactions are like... broadly correct generally. where there's smoke there's fire, type situation. but then she stokes the flames lol

[round pendant]

It was a murder

[solid sun]

I don’t like kanga

[upbeat plover]

Where is this Kanga?
I remember them being a part of the Khailby destruction

[solid sun]

The feeling is mutual

[round pendant]

lmao

[solid sun]

But you also got some incel takes

[undone beacon]

Kanga has long stretches of not being around

But she also was pivotal in the Khailby arc

[drowsy comet]

Kangar needs a therapist and should get help. The behavior is just not okay

[round pendant]

Another day of speaking about khailby

[undone beacon]

Fuck

[mighty valley]

he left a mark, can't deny that

[round pendant]

Khailby was just a lil gup like zwei, but he fully gave in to the dark side after a bad experience with kanga

[upbeat plover]

He pops into pvp chat from time to time

We say he's so back

[drowsy comet]

you're giving incel vibes

[upbeat plover]

He replies he's not back

[round pendant]

lmao it's still so good

[solid sun]

I hope one day we can all experience providing a community with a lasting impression

[upbeat plover]

You can now

[solid sun]

Hopefully we all leave good ones

[drowsy comet]

Im very close to that. But I have very good nerves

[upbeat plover]

I'm here

[round pendant]

Generally the longest lasting impressions are negative ones, unfortunately

if I disappeared, y'all would forget about me after a couple months max

because I am nothing but a beacon of shining light

[drowsy comet]

Who are u again

[solid sun]

I’ll never forget you, Yam

[upbeat plover]

See that's the problem. The people love me

And keep blank pinging me

[drowsy comet]

Surely nobody would forget me if Im gone, right

[upbeat plover]

With just nothing

[solid sun]

I think several people here are helpful or smart enough they’d be remembered and missed

[round pendant]

@mighty valley btw if you wanna get really real for a second

I have AvPD

monka

That'll probably explain a lot for you

[solid sun]

Alien vs predator

[drowsy comet]

smart enough sounds so mean 😂

[undone beacon]

It is my destiny to be forgotten like a fart in the wind

[upbeat plover]

I shall remember Rhino has some thick wrists

[mighty valley]

alien vs predator disorder...

[solid sun]

Bro

[upbeat plover]

What is this?

[solid sun]

I said the joke first

What the heck harrow

[mighty valley]

dammit rhino you're supposed to be a slow beast

[round pendant]

yeah I just love those movies so much (I've never seen them)

[toxic pewter]

that is my problem in life I am too slow

[mighty valley]

that's the disorder, you gotta see them

[round pendant]

wait seeing them will fix me?

[drowsy comet]

I will laugh at your joke to make u feel good

[mighty valley]

uhhhhhhh

[solid sun]

Thanks

[mighty valley]

watch alien and aliens, maybe watch predator, the rest are kinda ass

[round pendant]

Avoidant Personality Disorder

[jade hazel]

This made me envision a giant statue of someone farting a massive cloud

[round pendant]

[toxic pewter]

new predator movie out right now

[upbeat plover]

Probably same, I just don't call it a disorder

Doctors call everything a fckin disorder

Makes people worse

[mighty valley]

anyway ty, i will feel appropriately bad for some of my jokes now lol

[round pendant]

Good, that was the goal

[drowsy comet]

omg I would like to make a joke, but I know its too political

[toxic pewter]

lol

[round pendant]

You know when you say stuff like this you've basically just made the joke right

except in a non funny way

[drowsy comet]

epstei-

[upbeat plover]

I don't feel bad for being too correct

[round pendant]

idk about that

but I don't use it as an excuse or anything

But it's the quickest way to explain to harrow why I am the way that I am

partially

[upbeat plover]

In a lot of cases it makes people feel or believe they are powerless to change something. When it's not a disorder; it's just something you need to learn

Go put yourself out in uncomfortable situations

[jade hazel]

The opioid/covid epidemics really, really fucked up the trust in the medical field

[mighty valley]

sometimes the diagnosis helps people make changes and learn tools to move through the world easier

[toxic pewter]

i put myself into something of an uncomfortable situation earlier.. I was in feralas and this druid kept laughing at me

[upbeat plover]

Even if it is a "disorder" it doesn't matter. You have to push on despite it.

So what difference does the term really make?

[drowsy comet]

Talk to a therapist. Better than listening to ppl online

[upbeat plover]

Therapy isn't exactly effective

[undone beacon]

fuck yeah thanks wow

[upbeat plover]

Go listen to someone smart you know

[drowsy comet]

Depends

[mighty valley]

it gives shared vocabulary and ways to describe patterns that a person might not have had before

[jade hazel]

Hot take: there’s better doctors looking out for the good of people more than doctors taking advantage of people. Also most of the time even if they are the latter it’s usually the systems fault and not theirs.

[upbeat plover]

On whether or not you go

[drowsy comet]

@Grok listen to me

[round pendant]

I mean

"Disorder" isn't an excuse, it's just a word that describes a pattern of behaviour or thoughts that are bad enough to harm your quality of life

[upbeat plover]

Yes, it's good for quick easy conveyance. Just don't fall for thinking it is something wrong with you

It's just a skill to learn. And if it's not, you have to learn the work around

[round pendant]

CBT is a method to learning to manage those thoughts and feelings and it's proven to be pretty effective

but it's more effective if you know the patterns

rather than just going "just think better bro, do things bro"

[upbeat plover]

My statements are not about their intentions

Nor are their intentions very relevant

[solid sun]

Imagine if we could just talk to Mufasa up in the stars like Simba did

[round pendant]

I agree in a way but it's a little dismissive

[upbeat plover]

This is likely over thinking it

[digital kelp]

Hmm Warrior or DK early midnight? Booth seens strong but looks like blood is more rng 😏

[upbeat plover]

Go walk, go lift weights, and go out into the world and be willing to step into uncomfortable situations

[undone beacon]

Both are in alright spots, we hear blood is not that great rn tho gameplay wise

[upbeat plover]

Report back

[upbeat plover]

Good; that's the goal. Dismiss the issues, stick to the good

[jade hazel]

This is why you’re single

[drowsy comet]

As someone who is depressed for a few years, it is quite important to learn that you are not the problem. I kept saying that to myself till I was having a dark time, but things got better when I met new people. Just saying, but take your time

[upbeat plover]

Not even close

[round pendant]

Learning about psychopathology made me a lot less judgmental of people who have the disorders too

[undone beacon]

I just slammed Escitalopram for a year or so and felt better :3

[round pendant]

A lot of things are literally your brain learning to deal with your dogshit environment as you're developing

which is maladjusted for an actual functional life in current year

[upbeat plover]

Tell me of your results thusfar

[drowsy comet]

These made me feel slow. Couldnt concentrate and had issues sleeping. Got new ones and its much better lol

[round pendant]

uh

[undone beacon]

Ah thats unfortunate. Glad you found one that worked for you

[round pendant]

I'm a lot happier than I was in my early 20s and teens

[undone beacon]

All it did was lower my libido smh

[drowsy comet]

Took 6 months to figure that out, better late then never

[round pendant]

fundamentally CBT is just learning to think right

[mighty valley]

cbt joke here

[upbeat plover]

[mighty valley]

alright i could get baited into this chat for hours i gotta reclaim my day

later gang

[upbeat plover]

Recent confessions don't convey that too well

[drowsy comet]

Whats libido?

[mighty valley]

some of it's just memes, man

it's just a cheeky leaked dm

[undone beacon]

[cerulean tusk]

Are you guys still going strong?

[upbeat plover]

How old are you again?

[cerulean tusk]

I am impressed

[drowsy comet]

20

[round pendant]

this chat gets me hyperfocused on it way too much

[upbeat plover]

It's probably something you should know by now

[undone beacon]

This chat is entertaining its fun to talk to fwiends :3

[upbeat plover]

@drowsy comet

[cerulean tusk]

Not going to lie, you trying to push a guy to talk about his libedo is actually kinda weird.

[drowsy comet]

tbh never really heard/learned about that. But I am curious now

[round pendant]

wait what?

Do you mean you just dunno the word?

[drowsy comet]

the meaning

[upbeat plover]

Who's trying to do that? Lol

[cerulean tusk]

You seem to push the subject from what little I seen

[undone beacon]

Its a fancy word for your sex drive

[drowsy comet]

i have a PC drive, idk whats a sex drive

[undone beacon]

Taking antidepressents can lower it

[lean aurora]

I thought I was alone.

[drowsy comet]

wth

oh

[round pendant]

Leland is a little pushy but I think he has good intentions

This is my first day interacting with Leland and I'd leave him a positive review overall

but, I also thought khailby was a good boy

[solid sun]

I thought Leland was trying to find out if someone in the chat was the correct age to be here

[cerulean tusk]

My take is that offtopic gone too hard in prot atm

[red ferry]

Stop talking about me

[drowsy comet]

Im here as the lil gup

[red ferry]

its getting on my nerves

[drowsy comet]

Tf

[red ferry]

either say good things or say nothing

[undone beacon]

Cat what is there to talk about that is prot related in prepatch

[drowsy comet]

Huh

[cerulean tusk]

The green cat with an antenna!

[red ferry]

I’m not hitler

be kind or be nothing

[cerulean tusk]

Why?

[round pendant]

lmao

[red ferry]

because i deserve human decency

[drowsy comet]

Wtf

[red ferry]

i’ve had 5 people dm me asking why people are always talking about me in prot chat

I dont want a sixth

[round pendant]

LOL

Who the fuck is doing that

[red ferry]

Say nice things or say no things

[cerulean tusk]

Anyone who comes in saying "you can only speak good things about me" will have my target that person and ask: Why

[red ferry]

I’m out of patience for it

[drowsy comet]

About that..

[solid sun]

I play mtg too Khailby. What’s your favorite format?

[red ferry]

Because I don’t deserve the alternative?

[red ferry]

Draft

[lusty grotto]

OH MY GOD

[red ferry]

And standard

[cerulean tusk]

That a threat? What ya on about

[lusty grotto]

is this real life

[round pendant]

Khailby everybody only talks about your own actions, no one's saying mean shit just to be mean

[lusty grotto]

is Khailby back!?

[red ferry]

It means it’ll have to be a moderator involved thing if you keep going “heh, that khailby fella sure was a big fucking loser,.. i use to think he chill but.. heh, he actually mean and bad…”

[cerulean tusk]

Well, I can agree it has gone a bit too hard on poor Khali, but mainly by two ppl.

[red ferry]

Do you have any idea what that does to the mental

[lusty grotto]

ah fuck you guys are deep into the convo now i gotta catch up

[red ferry]

Either say nothing or say nice things

[undone beacon]

A lot has happened in the past like two hours

[red ferry]

Don’t be my 15th reason why

[round pendant]

LOL

What the fuck

[cerulean tusk]

Bring in a mod if you need to, but dont come in demanding "noone speak bad of me, only good"

aww hell naw

[red ferry]

Be nice or be nothing

[cerulean tusk]

ya aint my king

No

I refuse to bend to your 'standard', if anyone is dumb, I will call em dumb

Gotta push ya to improve ya

[drowsy comet]

This is probably my favorite mtg card rn

[red ferry]

[jade hazel]

Jkjk lol I just wanted to bring Kennie in this

[lusty grotto]

[red ferry]

Just letting you know if I get another dm from someone along the lines of “hey khailby, why are they saying you’re some evil manipulative mastermind gaslighter in skyhold lol? Weird behavior” i’m not gonna be happy

[upbeat plover]

No negotiations with terrorists

[solid sun]

I love big ol creatures

[cerulean tusk]

Then be sad, Khail, cause you are fueling that shit right now

[red ferry]

Grow up

[solid sun]

Especially ones that can’t be countered

[jade hazel]

[round pendant]

He says as he's actively trying to manipulate us to not talk about his own actions

[undone beacon]

Who the fuck is saying that because thats really funny

[lusty grotto]

i thought what we said was overly positive

[red ferry]

No fucking clue

[jade hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/homer-simpson-bush-disappear-awkward-dont-look-at-me-gif-14401816

And i don’t want you telling lies about me

[round pendant]

Your own actions did this

[pastel summit]

Ping?

[red ferry]

Nozz

[lusty grotto]

[solid sun]

I just wanted to talk mtg with a fellow enjoyer

I’m being ignored :(

[pastel summit]

[red ferry]

People have been dming me saying you’ve been saying really, really weird and egregious things about me that are provably untrue

Came here to say cut it out

You’re all mid 30s

Act like it

[lusty grotto]

thats not my experience

[cerulean tusk]

Nim, you talking shit about the green cat?

You are tho

[upbeat plover]

Hardly anyone DMs me

[solid sun]

Blue is for the smart people

Yeah nobody's said anything of the sort. We've only spoken about your own actions as they happened

[red ferry]

I’m not smart

this is a tank chat

[cerulean tusk]

Nah, you had like 1 day a way back, where you talked about the green cat

[red ferry]

its implied

[cerulean tusk]

then we talked about the new lil gulp instead

[solid sun]

Lil gulp lmao

Just a small swallow

[round pendant]

Everything else was just mostly endearing memes about the khailby that once was

and a bit of criticism towards his behaviour in #pvp

[red ferry]

there is no once was

Nothing has changed i just dont want to be here anymore

[round pendant]

someone post the meme

[red ferry]

The people here don’t want my company and its not worth my mental health to be around certain individuals

[lusty grotto]

Its not rocket science

[cerulean tusk]

Then why come in here and start shit?

[pastel summit]

Oh, this feller popped in and spammed a bunch of off-topic nonsense for like a week.

[lusty grotto]

i liked you khailby

[round pendant]

Well unfortunately khailby, you don't get dictate who or what we talk about. We ain't telling anybody to dm or harass you

[lusty grotto]

youre taking this the wrong way

[round pendant]

It's really cringe that you're behaving like this

[red ferry]

Because i don’t want any more dms

[lusty grotto]

but if you dont want to be in here, its totally fine

[cerulean tusk]

You liked the green cat that come swinging? Nim, shame on u

No, they said people were saying weird things about me

[upbeat plover]

When he DM'd me

[lusty grotto]

it was not weird things, we just enjoyed your character arc

your DMs are farming content

and youre part of it by reacting

[undone beacon]

Khailby brother I genuinely think for the sake of your mental you should leave Skyhold. No shade, no bad blood, but obviously this is not a healthy place for you

[cerulean tusk]

Your "friends" are having a blast right now

[red ferry]

I already have

I just use the faq resources

[round pendant]

Yeah like, if you didn't come back being antagonistic rn everyone would be like

omg khailby hath returned

but nah

[cerulean tusk]

That is kinda true, ya built a legend
