Some people can barely live off the money they make without a forced 5% charity donation
this sounds like it would quickly lead to conflict of interest and abuse of market position
if you mix non-bank services with bank lending
"sure you can have some money, but you're gonna use our partners that we have a stake in for life"
Isn't that what we call America?
We pretend it isn't real
yeah but there is a threshold and conditions. if you are allegeable for the 5% charity donation it means you are financially stable
but rich people will just hide their assets though
unity doesn't have anything
you even had to pay for dark mode back in the day
same thing with how people can avoid taxes. in that cases the government should intervene
not that I know of
it won't though
also, is it 5% of money, or 5% of wealth
cause no sane person is gonna leave millions on their bank account
but with wealth you again fuck people that save towards something
like if you save very long to be able to buy a 500k house, you'd have to pay 25k every year
I wish unity had kept their 13 year olds though
I'd like to not have to pay 25k every year lol
that's still a lot of money lol
if I had to pay 5% of my house value every year, that would be like half my income gone lol
right so it's actually 2.5% of wealth i messed up there π . but again i dont think the amount would effect your save up much.
so that's 12k per year
I approve of the use of the word tomfoolery!
yeah but 1)that's for charity and 2)that's assuming you already have 500k which at that point you can just buy a house
so the house does not count as wealth
ok so I'm paying a home loan for 25 years, to just be fucked afterwards
Depends how much the house costs. Sometimes 500k isn't enough.
You have gotten the approval of the blue-robed wizard of unreal slackers 
That's a robe I'll have you know!
well they do here
we have indexation
which adjusts your wage to inflation
more or less
That loan that has no interest, but the bank forces you into certain services.
well I don't live in missouri thoug lol
again your property does not account in the zakat (they 2.5% charity) only the money you have accumulated over the year, money in this instance can be physical cash or even gold. usually things that cant be "used" but are valuable
so what's holding me back from putting all my money in things that are not counted
like stocks maybe?
or if those are counted, just buying property to rent out
stock is counted
well the profit you generate from the rent is counted
what if I use the profit to buy more houses though
The problem is with this system your average families are gonna get screwed by it, and the people it should be affecting are just going to hold their wealth in non liquid, non counted sources
ok? you're not allegeable
and does this also apply to companies?
you see so you can just hide your wealth and escape it
nope in fact poor families will benefit from this. the money will not go the goverement but instead will go directly to the people
So the rich who can afford an accountant to do this shit get off.
same with taxes π
not just algeria but every islamic country π
No. The average family does not benefit, yes poor families benefit, and should, but not from the people who can afford it the most. The average family does not receive anything from charity. In places with already high taxes, families have to pay more out, when the people who should be paying more can still just dodge the system with non liquid assets.
well I assume they are from america since they are complaining about missouri wages
and if companies are not counted in zakat, what's holding me back from setting up a company for myself and keeping my assets in that
of course in legal way with accountant
you're applying western rules here. if a family struggles to afford food for instance they are can and encouraged to get some of the zakat money.
and i messed up here again so:
https://islamqa.org/hanafi/daruliftaa-birmingham/20376/zakat-on-investment-property/
If the properties were bought with the intention of long-term investment, Zakat should be calculated annually on the market value of the property at the time of paying Zakat
Didn't this all begin by applying rules elsewhere to the western world?
So I was pointing out why this doesn't work in the west
oh yeah good point
but this is one of the changes that will take time and effort
a whole lot of them but i think it will at the end benefit the majority of the people
the poor wouldnt need to beg while the rich would pay their far share for the community
here we already pay like 14% of income to social securities
so idk if the 5% charity would be more beneficial
poor here are better of than middle class tbh
there's people purposefully not working cause it's a better situation than if they would
When I was a full-time college student, I was told by the states welfare office that because I was a full-time college student, I had to work a minimum amount of hours a week to qualify for food stamps (money that can only be used on "food". quotes bc you can buy all kinds of shit junk food with it). But, if I were to drop out of college, I wouldn't have to work at all to qualify π
Here in the UK there is a serious poverty issue, I could see this working well if taxes were lowered and the difference was contributed to zakat
Rather than politicians pockets
oh and one other thing. i should've clarified this earlier but one of the conditions for zakat is to be a muslim π
But there would need to be a sure fire way to ensure the rich folks can't just dodge it, like they do with taxes
true
but the rich folks make the rules
shit.
one way to do this is to make the punishment actually hurt the company bottom line. cause in most cases (not sure about tax evasion) if a company does a scummy thing the government would like request a very little amount of money compared to what they earned breaking the rules
So like GDPR violations. They hurt if you get caught
but you don't even have to break the rules for a lot of tax avoidance though
see: double dutch sandwich
that's perfectly legal
yet you pay no taxes
There's also the fine art thing.
Buy art for cheap.
Fellow contact values art higher than purchase price.
Donate art.
Use higher price as tax write-off
That's if they ever pay it or even pay their taxes.
people will always find ways to avoid anything
and the rich will be able to avoid paying in the best way
huh i always thought the profits you make in a country would taxed according to that countries tax
well you do
Dutch Sandwich is a base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) corporate tax tool, used mostly by U.S. multinationals to avoid incurring European Union withholding taxes on untaxed profits as they were being moved to non-EU tax havens (such as the Bermuda black hole). These untaxed profits could have originated from within the EU, or from outside ...
oh yeah i heard about that. that's how you end up with "art" like banana tapped to a wall lol
at least they fixed the loophole in 2020
Iβm just saying thereβs always ways to avoid paying for the rich
The sad part is poor people defending the rich on their tax avoidance.. like elon fanboys
As long as the tax is progressive I understand why the rich want to avoid it
still waiting for that next chapter of unreal slackers π‘
@dense rover yo did you get hacked or was that a genuine DM?
(Sorry if it's against the rules here just had to make sure)
yeah dieter. let their bodies be... self governing and independent...?
What has this to do with anything he said?
you have to understand, this is tomfoolery
This isn't tomfoolery, this is gaslighting because you've heard buzzwords and need to say something.
you have to understand, this is sarcasm
This isn't sarcasm, it's lack of respect for bodily autonomy!
forgive me π
thank you
you know you don't have to right
no one is holding you back from dying
if your really hate having to survive
progress
well don't do it in the hospital
how did that become an issue in the first place lol
ai is just in a different plane of existence
aaah is this a beginning of a romance plot π₯Ή
you are happy yet you hate surviving?
Well, you've got good role models in the US then.
US politicians to be specific
did you just assume their gender
wooooooooow lamp
smh
you should know better
what will the people in, missouri? think of this
:question: do you see what i see?
:8ball: Better not tell you now.
im disappointed in you lamp
get in line with his parents
oof that's a bit harsh lol
sounds like missouri lmao
lmfao
MF couldnt even correctly be racist lmao
He sent this. Only asked because it's Temu lol
I find this definition very fitting:
that is sus
Temu is sus
It's right there in the picture.
well you are closer to the male's danger zone
what is this cringe
not very respective of that kids body autonomy then smh
male's danger zone
a friend of mine calls it "nature's punching bag"
well, hope you weren't planning on having nephews
send my condolences to your brothers
if you say so
Male insects are literally disposable
insects be taking "you lookin like a snacc" to a whole nother level π
bees explode after ejaculation
Spiders are arthropods.
i didnt even mean to put that reaction on dieters message but it fits so 
why would you eat moles?
...Are moles not tasty? edit: actually, they get pretty testy. And they're all teeth.
molas?
male moles arent that bad
i made the same joke once i first saw a red panda...
god am i really not that funny π
not liking red pandas os bannable offense
no but I have killed road eat
anyway cats are cuter
#lounge message how do you look at this cute little fur ball and not like him???
I thought you were american, not french
skill issue
I don't think it works like that
Is your name secretly "Charlie"?
why did they use gorillas
here I was thinking it wass guerilla warfare
must've read it wrong
I think Vietnam used the gorillas
I do hate america
"dont hate women" is a hot take?
have you tried turning on the AC?
Every time I think they've run out of ways to add Z to a word when titling a zombie game, they come up with something new.
Actually, it sounds terrible in british english.
I hate women
Poor mans darksouls
girls are boring 
Yeah that would fall into the line of hating women and choosing not to be around them
πππ
pandas are cool but this cat just makes me happy every time i see it lol
like it's just a pure form of happiness and i love that cat
considering we had that depressing political talk this morning i thought it's best to lighten up the mood here a bit π
Lets move away from that topic, that never ends well
yeah talk about sea otters instead
you know what makes me cry
how friggin adorable sea otters can be
look at it!!! this little thing is so proud of itself!!!!!!!!!!!
onions
It's easier said than done but it's sometimes better to just not care what people you don't know think about you
they are soooo much cuter than their crackhead cousin the north american river otter
honestly the disconnect of a chat app kinda helps with that in my experience
jesus dude you really had to ruin the vibe huh lol
Talking to AI chat bots especially π
until the chatbot start bullying you π’
lol can we see?
brb, booting up my emotional damage machine
you could post the image as a spoiler with a TW:bad words
but that depends on how vulgar the words are...
you mean the passive-aggressive machine?
I got mine to politely drive you insane while being totally family friendly 
ponkkis trained it using voice chats from COD lobbies in the 2009-2012 era
i tried to train one with 4chan replies and it got pretty racist pretty quickly
oh you used one of those uncensored weights in hugging face?
wait are they the same ones as the ones who were chatting with each other?
oh this is nostalgic of the cod golden days π₯°
yeah that is awful but...it's fun to mess around with i bet
like imagine two chatbots argue with eachother cod voice chat style!
ironically that's what you would generally get from an unaligned model since it's just picking up garbage from the internet that it was trained on
It's so realistic, it perfectly mimics kids and teens on the internet :O
in way it's a reflection of the internet. and it sucks beautiful
Yeah lmao
it is pretty much just a reflection of the internet and how people geneally behave on the internet
can you train one based off of #petting-zoo
yep i saw the video's in #generative-ai. do you have any plans to release it publicly? cause i can see my self spending hours on it
idk man, unsolicited links can be pretty spooky nowadays
all the unclaimed discord nitro (plz don't strike me for typing those words)
valid links? they usually just spit out garbage links for me
honestly you should consider it imo
well probably not publicly considering how those models can just say anything π
i forgot to point this out but i swear to god every message i read from deja always have some sort of threat into it lol
lmao
Pretty much
Eren somehow managed to become friends with it lol
@timber viper 
does it only like eren now? not even you its creator!?
oh it would make a killer boulder gate npc
It does respond to Eren a bit differently sometimes (since it has basically permanent memory system so it can remember stuff from ages ago)
what if you offer a sacrifice to it? maybe then it will like you
Something to try π
no one can question my diplomacy skills
that basically means the model wasn't trained much, hasn't seen enough examples similar to your input so it basically ends up in a loop
Don't worry son, it only gets worse from here
I know that's the thing
Next thing you know I'm gonna be one of those alternative history geeks making flags for the alternative history countries
ππ
Look how damn dumb and silly this is
I feel like I should make a in between frame from when hes on his knees to face down
it looks good
Is it a human bat priest?
Its.. a demon in a suit
The brain can fill that in on it's own, human brain is pretty amazing
Nah
I semi know what I'm doing
Wait till you learn to manipulate something stupid obscure, it's just pure bliss at that moment. Ue has so many nooks and crannies like that lol
Hate root motion, but like the sudden movement from kneeling to face down.
edit: blurp.
In India you will be jailed for attempted unalive
I didn't say it made sense
Didn't we already establish like 50,000 years ago that Americans don't know shit about navigation and geography? Hell, the whole reason they are there is because one fucklord got lost in the sea
By the mods? π

iirc there is a material function that kinda does this. also a few tutorials about it.
texture variation node.
But you could also lerp + noise mask.
too bad the game will never look like this
i know theres methods to do that, i was just wondering if this could lead to a new method to mask texture repetition
Man, Link Click smashing out the good episodes.
didn't know the guy from zelda made episodes
I need to talk to laura so bad
no i need their knowledge
I hope you have half a jet at the ready
that's her hourly rate
thats an odd fee structure
there are many many memorials to "the Nameless Soldier" all round the word, could have just referenced that lol

now I have a stupit meeting though π
I've started to hate people calling me with a passion lately
idk why it only started to annoy me recently
probably cause this one dude calls me like 16 times a day for the smallest things
Lol
like work things or just "hey whats your favorite color" type of thing
I save my disrespect for those who don't respect red pandas or sea otters

yep
So you enjoying it so far?
yep
story 
not difficult as DS 
japanese VA 
anime 
what level are you?
10
I see
My Tohru was level 70 but only had double your health
i wonder what i put all those levels into
how did you survive
you just don't know how to code
I was running two handed weapons. I aint gotta worry about dodging or tanking if i just one shot them first
i was fucked tho if i missed
I did it bois
only 84 wpm
on typeracer
I have faster speeds on monkeytype
but that's also easier
these are my monkeytype speeds
monkeytype. Ain't even drink my tea yet 
mr fast fingers over here
i didnt even know there were different keyboard layouts until you started talking about them sometime ago tbh
sounds like some skyrim stuff lol
I grew up with azerty
only switched to qwerty in college
for ultimate programming
it compiles faster with shorter lines
(not really though)
This is wild looking
I use dh mod though
I find it very comfortable on the fingers
so much can be done with so little movement
That O feels like it sticks out so far
just pinky lol
I was just about to ask if you use your pinky lol
left pinky sits on shift. right pinky sits on enter
wild
my enter is on a thumb key
I do have shift on pinky, but also as home row mod
both my thumbs sit on space bar
so if I hold T or N and then type another letter, it's like I'm holding shift
well I have 4 keys per thumb π
your hands probably look like spiders when typing
not really
damn, discord really fucks my camera quality up
I usually have the halves at shoulder width btw, just put them closer for the pic
what in the world
I'm a special boy
that must be comfy tho. I imagine it's also good for your posture
Do you still have someof the muscle memory for other layouts
very sligthly
like the key placement layouts
but I'm like a lot slower on qwerty now
I could probably like hit
20wpm
with looking at the keyboard
but also, I haven't really put in much effort to maintain qwerty
do you use colemak for your phone too?
there's people that can just switch without issue
nah lol
I do qwerty on phone
different muscle memory
colemak would be shit on phone, cause it's made to move very little and using a lot of rolls, but on a phone that suchs cause then your thumbs would be hitting eachother
yes
i didnt know it was made in ue4. the more you know.
it was pretty obvious from shading model
okay mr eagle eyes
being able to just look at a game and recognize its unreal smh
it's unreal that you're able to do that

For one of the most prominent deathcore vocalists right now, Will's cleans are nicee
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duyQcsduDHE
I've been getting a lot of requests to do some more cleans and this is probably one of my favorite songs atm so check out my take on-
Joji's Slow Dancing in the Dark.
Prod: H3 Music
Video - Will Ramos

His covers of Sleep Token also have really nice cleans.
Breathe easy, come to Scotland.
I thought this was boys only
hey, stop stealing @zinc wagon 's job, he identifies as many women, HE'S the designated girl of this channel
im a jupiter class battlestar, dont tell anyone π€«
idk what youre talking about, my pronouns are fucking/moron
no thats that weird ass band
Or a red panda.
pretty sure vazu is a gorl
here's someone with their thinking capwizard-hat!
i love dogs but that's just untrue
i couldnt see you over the noise of all these red pandas, my bad
breaks my heart π
Cause they eat poop π’
i dont love dogs because they eat poop 
.. What dog eats poop? Afaik only rabies induced dogs do that
And they die shortly after
you've never witnessed a dog do that? 
dogs can be freaking weird
Well it's not so much that they eat it but they also love it
What kind of dogs are you people raising????
Dude only terrible sick dogs eat poop, terminally ill ones
What the fuck, no normal healthy dog does that
yes they do. They eat poop that hasn't been digested properly
german shepherds, golden retrievers, yellow labs, weimaraners, beagles, rottweilers, pugs. I've had a lot of dogs
And before you say anything, i have two doggos in my home and about 16 billion strays outside my apartment
Clearly their poop has no nutritional value.
Dogs will attempt to eat anything
Idk what kind of dogs you guys are raising man, ive NEVER seen a dog eat poop
if it can be chewed and swallowed, they are gonna do that at least once
Well, except for ill ones
There's a study from 2012 that suggested 24% of dogs ate poop at least once
Dogs do sniff butts but that's because of a gland they have back there
This is wild
What's wild is that you have been lucky enough to have never seen a dog take a bit of the forbidden chocolate π
It's the #1 reason I don't like dogs licking my face
Idk whats been in their mouth
Well, i was strict as a parent when they were pups and they know better now that they're grown
Like that guy that died after his dog licked his cut
exactly, i may love the pupper but i dont need your spit and saliva all over me
Ive been bitten, scratched, clawed so many times (one of my puppers has epilepsy and during episodes she bites or claws) and have had blood drawn so many times, id be long buried if my dogs ate poop lol
But wow, wild stuff
saw andromeda strain movie yesterday, it was surprisingly good o_O
If you go on hikes with your dogs remember to poop at home not on the trail
good doggos clean up their own poop im sorry
what
Yeah
In the bathroom, yes. They go there and i just regularly clean it up, they pee in the toilet though
It took a year to get them to learn, the pomeranian got it very quickly, the spitz took the rest of the year to learn
We live in a high rise apartment, it's not that easy to take them outside everytime they want to poop
Or pee
fair enough
props on you for training them tho
unfortunately i wager many people wouldn't have gone through that effort and just let them piss and shit anywhere
These two are my first so im baffled i managed to get it right. Thats why that dog eating poop info was wild (never heard it from anyone else that had doggos either)
Should have gotten a cat.
I like doggos more, plus i didn't buy these two, they were rescues
When i found them, wasnt even sure they'd make it
Aww π¦
My poppies
You can tell you really love Dix.
I treat them like my children, imo if anyone is in your care, you owe them the duty of doing everything you can for them
Lol no, i love both, mox doesn't like to be squished unfortunately, so all pics i have of holding her were pretty much forced. Dix on the other hand is 100% lapdog
So much easier to show pics of me holding her
Only if more pet owners shared that mentality 
According to Gandi, βThe greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
Oh in that case our nation is absolute shit
We have zero effective animal rights laws
We have many "laws" but they are so easily circumvented its not even fucking funny
Or the penalty is so low, it's not even a hindrance
"No, your honour, I didn't kick the dog, I simply slipped while the dog was running at me."
That got some of the laws to be "fixed" but again, they are a joke to begin with
The dog survived, in case you wanted to know
He needs to be strangled and thrown off a building.
how lol
was it an undercover cat with 9 lives
im gonna pretend i didnt see that
why
and by that, i mean your comment
I'm genuinly curious how you survive strangulation and being thrown of a building
try it yourself and find out, its the scientific way afterall
my thesis is that I won't survive it though
You just aint got that dog in ya
it's all physics and aerodynamics.
oh funny thing is, people actually said the opposite when i got them. moxie is named after a device that creates oxygen (it also means cunning/guile in old english) but dixie was named because it rhymed with moxie lol
and because i could make unsolicited dix pics jokes lol
Indeed.
Why do I only want to program when I consume caffeine
cause you have a sleep deficiency?
told you @woven wing
Sleep is for when sleepy
maybe you just don't realise
i was having a stupid question: is learning some stuff that have so little information
like unreal engine would be harder than doing something much harder but having more
information to learn from like rocket science
i mean, the principal of physics doesn't change every 3 months
Rocket science easy. Just point away from the ground and go fast
hah, wrong. some people are right now having a meltdown cause the standard theory recently got a couple big problems it cant solve and predicts confidently that it cant happen
Someone will steal it π
classic "smart" kid
my dog did that and then we moved houses and she doesn't do that now
no idea why
exactly
but this house is small so I just take her downstairs when she needs to go
Learning UE, easy, takes a month. Learning how to make games? Takes a lot longer. Like a solid year part time. Learning how to make games that are fun and people want to buy? Good luck. Might be easier to make rockets at that point
it was super convenient when we lived in that tall-ass building
yk game design isn't THAT hard
At least with a rocket you have a pretty good idea where it's going to go
Up π or out π₯
game design is not hard, the hard thing is to become both a designer and a coder without losing your fking mind
just wanna point out there are people who make rockets out of scratch as a hobby. nobody made another ue as hobby though XD
all you gotts to do is play test and adjust
oh yes, believe me, I know
I am trying to do the other part
my brain is getting fried as we speak
I want to tho
but I literally can't
what is your username @chrome gull
I have a name and its systems planned
what was it
slightlybonkers
why do you ask?
Your name is an understatement for someone who doesn't like bananas
what was it in the past though
they are disgusting tf you mean
cuz i feel like people always sit in this server for a real long time
like some developed a whole character through time here
xd
I've been here for a couple years by now
but wasn't really active
I did
but my username era just got better then
so never bothered changing it back
wait wtf I've been here only for almost an year???
yeah that's equal to me
pls don't look at my join date
π§
At least you aren't blue man 
He's been here since he was like 16
it is?
man's ruined
sometimes i imagine you guys are a bunch of old people sitting in a basement for casually meeting
That's why he's so blue.
don't expose us like that
I'd love some basement meetings
I'm not that old though
Yeah Dieters young. He'll be old once he turns 28. If the committee doesn't change the old-qualification-age to 29 by then that is.
no, current old age is 27
committee has already decided it will change to 28 in october though
I had a dream once that I woke up with some of y'all in a room; it was creepy because your faces were replaced by your pfps because idk what you guys look like
you really had a dream about discord members though?
...
wonder what happened to you that day
my life isn't very exciting
but my pfp is my face...
So you claim
yours was the creepiest (jk idr who was in it)
i mean people only dream about things they feel related
huh?
wot?
my dreams are absurd
no way I am related to them
i mean things that you think about a lot
why tf would I think about this server a lot
yeah that's why i wonder what happened to you the day before
you must have something in here
someone cooked you
yeah, so...
it was me, i told him that his hippo ai sucked
you didn't need to tell me that
I have never dreamed of red pandas, or sea otters. This is a lie.
um a correction i am all the designated girls in this channel. i identify as a women and the fact you didnt know that shows how uneducated you are
do better π
wait until you do some exotic stuff
yeah that's lack of information
idk maybe voxel generation
yeah i can't find any 12 hours tutorial for that
well then it took more than 12 hours
technically if you know physics you can build anything exist
the problem is how long the process would take
π
why i always found these people who talk to me in general tone
yo keep narrate the stuff you made up about me you may sell it for publisher
you people sound smart and all till you started to give real numbers out and everyone make fun of you
give me some numbers about yourself? how long have you used unreal? how long it take you to build a thing of your own?
i am also new i have used unreal for 9 months alright that's enough for today xd
you used unreal for a week giving people online advice and you are telling me about my ego π€£
that is.. fucking unreal
Is there a discussion about the dunning-kruger effect goin on
damn chill out
no need for personal attacks on others tho
idk nor care whos being mean to who. aint no need for it regardless :p yall just need a stroll through #petting-zoo tbh
i mean i didn't even asked for advice in the first place
seriously calm down oof
well i don't
if too many people are being mean to you then maybe just maybe it's probably you? just a random thought
you don't want that swing
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
imagine just chilling out and people started to give out advice about how to do things
oh my bad dont mind me
Isn't there a really big voxel plugin?
there is
its literally called Voxel Plugin iirc
what does it do?
lets you plug voxels into your project
It does voxel things
have you considered reading the website
hey hey i didn't even ask anything about voxel i was just giving example
hence the name voxel plugin
I don't know what that is ;-;
how do you manage to use discord but dont know what a website is
is discord a website
yes
he may buy a phone and install through ch play
that wouldn't change what discord is tho 
is that katy perry?
technically he can doesn't know what a website is
your question didn't make sense
In Dieter's gif. Is that Katy Perry talking to Neil?
you see, the problem here is that I KNOW WHAT A WEBSITE IS ;-;
The discord app is just a reactnative application which is running on chromium viewer if I'm not mistaken.
A lot of what I say in here doesn't make sense, I fear. Especially in the morning when I talk before drinking my tea.
yes
Katy Perry and Neil deGrasse Tyson from National Geographic's "StarTalk"
Well the men-in-black memory wiper doesn't exist so i think you're stuck with the problem of knowing what a website is.
i know that you know what a website is, i just feel the right to correct those itchy things
ahhh gotcha
are you the laura that people often talk about
no
I think you mean luara
did you get paid all that time though?
okay that gif is more creepy than obnoxious
Was it a bad project? Was your brain trying to protect you from tragic memories?
Or was it such an incredible experience your brain feared everything else in life would dim in comparison?
i keep thinking that there is a speedrun unreal blog since i was begin,
up till now i know some about the engine i haven't read it yet
but still thinking about reading it
(Its Laura blog and why i keep remembering this person's name)
no, everything in the universe has meaning (ignore what I'm saying)
it doesn't even have a single red panda on it
nah really i think the person is quite smart since they wrote all that stuff
If only that person was here to partake in the discussion π
Unlike dragonHell, that person is just a myth π
...who is dragonHell?
im telling you this server have a whole history with names
who?
in reaction to slightlybonkers, not Laura
you will pay for your sins against dragonHell
you joined after me how are you up to the lore
i think i wrote a note for each person on my old account then i delete the account
the rule seem to be the older they arem the more sensitive they become
bravo
ahh I'm so looking forward to become that
you are probably younger than dieter
let me note that back
im 20 ;-;
2 DECADES old
you did not just call me 30
we just established that 27 is old
until october
hence, I am 26
you see, I am not good at math
im not laughing becasue your 20, im laughing because you called dieter 30
dieter go 4 year older real fast
how did you know that before I stated my age
poor dieter. i called him 27 earlier. now you're calling him 30
I'm at least 17 decades younger than Laura though
i keep imagine laura like some old witch in the wood cant help myself
everyone's getting called old, y'all relentless
Laura isn't real
the planet itself will be in shambles by the time I grow old
we're all just a figment of Blue Mans imagination
fuck it's been 2 whole decades since I was brought into existence
how can Laura be real if our eyes aren't real
what is real?
if it doesn't collapse by then... 
yes yes, I've learnt to live with it
I woulda told you "by the sound of the chimes" but the world has gone mute
you think you'll get the chance to get old before the planet simultaneously combusts? that's optimistic
I am real. All of you are just people
I am the only real one
Laura is an egregore that manifested when we needed C++ help
submontanely
Spontaneously?
you mean spontaneously?
fuyc
I KNEW I should've right clicked
but I didn't
no he meant the vegetation at a height of 500 - 1000 meters
did you just copy paste his message into your message?
Ah gotcha gotcha.
no.....why would i do that π
π€
bruh stfu just let it slide lol
is that digital blackface I see?
this discussion is so much more entertaining than a totally hypothetical not currently happening meeting
what is a totally hypothetical not currently happening meeting?
is that even a thing
how can a meeting be real if we are not real
why the meeting have to be real if we are not real
why the meeting
words to live by
π€£
perks of not having a job
what?
i had multiple meeting with my other personalities today
it's the real thing
they was a he. There is a semi demon inside of me
i was trying to convert him
I'm thankful to have only 5 meetings a week. And 4/5 are consistently done in <30 minutes.
THIRTY minutes???
and with working remote, it doesn't impede my work day at all unless it's a discussion I need to be involved in. Which isn't often.
I can barely listen to a person ramble for 10 minutes
I mean I don't pay attention throughout the whole meeting lol
It's just background noise unless someone says my name
really? school is a system that make you sit and hear them for 8 hours a day
you barely survive school then
i cant keep a convo with a person for longer than like 15 minutes before i start zoning out
what makes you think I succeeded school?
which for a 30 minute meeting might be a good thing
(well, I did, but that's not the point)
I think my average meeting that I organise lasts less than 5 min lol
other people however just like rambling on
lol do you guys just greet eachother then leave π
If I were directing an organization, I'd just not have meetings lol
only submit documents
and receive documents
tbh i never actually had a normal job beside being a real estate agent
the meeting is just like 20 people sitting in a coffee and chilling out talking to each other
Is most of your communication with freelancing through email/slack/whatever?
I hate video calls
there isnt any script or anything just people talking to each other
all calls
no, but I'm efficient
why are you judging them
and don't do meetings with 60 people
let them do that they want to do
I misspelled.
meetings are scripted? wot?
he's got a point laura. if people want to sit inside coffee then let them! they might get burned but who cares!
like they plan to talk something to you
we just talk random stuff
oh i bet you're known for being time efficient i got one better
that's what she said!
ah yes, my favorite show, meeting #203 with business llc
depends on the meeting but most of them are just updates 
what about messages?
yeah like there is a meaning to the meeting, our meeting is just meeting, talking about house prices, good area, how to make customer happy and stuff
that company was weird as fuck man
I led a team on discord a couple years ago (I was young and stupid, okay?) and I never called a meeting
do you work for a realtor
or just random talk
depends on the extent of the discussion. One of my meetings is consistently cancelled because there's not enough to warrant a discussion. just a few slack messages.
idk what realtor is. I work for a company as real estate agent
meanwhile I had to attend "interviews" that last less than 5 mins
and most meetings are only a handful of actual people. 3/5 of my meetings are ~8 people
that's the same
you say that as if it's just 3 people
except for being registerede with some organization
well i learned enlish from wolf of wall street
never heard of it
man quitting real estate to go into unreal engine is the most weird shit i have done
how is that even possible
aww. luck.
rare things these days
idk about bank but for sure richer than this fking unreal stuff
uuuh why did you choose it then π
i guess a small little tiny bit microscope chance to be rich
100% average pretty good life
vs
1% rich
99% broke
i mean, couldnt you do both?
you'll definitely be broke
lol i really tried that but the problem is both the time and the mind
the mind part is more hard when you are trying to do both job at different field at once
it beats doing meetings with dozens.
you keep thinking about the other thing
honestly talking from experience it's not too hard to learn UE while doing/learning something as well.
It's a looooooooooooooooooot smaller than 1% chance of being rich π (depending on what you qualify as rich)
you can technically pull that off but the other thing have to be chilling and stuff
true but making a routine where you do you job at the morning and learn ue at night would help a lot. it did for me
as a street real estate broker i keep thinking about selling day and night π
that's like top 0.03% already
just become independent
i once sale 1 house and the money was enough for me to live in 6 months
so why stop lol
it doesnt sound like you hated your job? how come you give it up then?
why go for the 0.001% shot at making good money if you were already making decent money
chill vibe https://youtube.com/watch?v=i_AhF5tc8yo
you can't just go ask people why they are like that. It's who they are
yeah what dieter said. that seems like an unreasonable bet you just took to put it nicely
just seems like a lot of risk for little reward
if you hated being a realtor I'd get it
but you say you loved it lol
some people like taking risk
and there's better things to become rich more likely
and those people usually end up worst then they started. it makes sense to take a risk if you have nothing to lose but you seem like you have everything to lose
You would always be average on your straight line until you found some diagonal line.
I found mine
investing in some dogecoin? it dipping rn and i heard on twitter that's the best time to invest
You can't always running on a straight line and never step out and expect to be much different
ok but the chance of becoming rich in game dev is extremely small though
Normal people found that diagonal line very late in their life, normally life 30-40 years old
yeah but im younger so taking risk seem lighter
but if the straight line is comfortable and makes you happy why stray from it?
oh yeah that's what a monkey profile guy told me on reddit
i mean im happy with that job but not happy about the future of living like that for the next 20 years
you could've still done it like 60% to not die of starvation though
there's risk, and there's calculated risk
right and do you think game dev would be any better? at least it's stable income and why do you think the thing that made you happy with your job now wont remain in the next 20 years?
i have calculated that if i do anything gamedev less than 100% it may just fail
because this shit is hard as fuck
and do you have a fallback plan?
can you get back to your old job at least?
yeah i can always fall back or be a programmer
but it's hard to have a prepared to fail mindset when you are already so deep in
hard but wise. at least you have you can go back to your old job so i think your decision isnt so bad π
you know sometimes i just wake up in the morning opening lose yourself
"if you have one shot" xd
you know sometimes I just wake up in the morning and am happy that being able to eat does not depend on luck
ayo thats not bad
be me
student
decide to pursue game dev
already is poor
I think I just wrote my first 4chan greentext
tbf I think it's better if you start early, you'll have time to choose something else later
right?
i mean i never think about it that way since i am always assume i would be succeed
and even if i failed i would try it again
and again
till i succeed with gamedev
sometimes you should know when to give up
What is there left to lose? Except your youth maybe
I was miserable anyway
you'll be dead by then probably though
you'll be dead no matter what you do anyway
one should always take advice from a fictional drug lord that destroyed his whole life because of it
i just keep thinking about it, the feeling you had when you get old and you regrets
why didn't you do something when you was younger
i mean of course that is just a movie, but how true i feel about it in real life make it real
I don't have any regrets so far
well you are not old
really?
wtf you doing with your life if you have regrets
none? 0?
0
no way that's true
this is what you get for making calculated decisions
i mean when you got those, it's normally too late already
Is that the "Jesse what the fuck are you talking about" scene?
well I regret a lot of things already, ask me why and I can't remember any, but I'm sure there's a lot
mucho appreciated
yeah the gen z nowaday feel like dreadful old people xd
I've even regretted being friends with possibly the greatest people I've met irl
most of them are... dead?
like literally dead
opps
Indeed
