It was on sale so I was like yoink
Dubbel zo fris, dubbel zo lekker

the heck is that
When youre not watching Im gonna steal your food
can i assume lekker has the same meaning as „lecker”
because

that sounds like a commercial catchphrase
It's like nice
wat it mean then
How do we explain lekker to the muricans
ZOMG this is so nice... cold... but nice
i already gave you a baseline word in lecker, don
Like Don said, it's kind of "nice"
bleh
XD
rude

but anyway yea „lecker” i guess contextually in that phrase would basically mean like "(twice the) good taste"
Not sure what lecker is 🤔
deutsch
Oh
which dutch obviously stole half its words from 👀
false
Some told me Dutch it's like swamp German 😅
XD
germans stole our words, were just too cool
No thats what we call the actual young generation
Also either nors or danish is like every germanic language slapped together
thats as unoriginal as it gets smh
imagine being danish
also good god its cold in my room 
Stealing is the job of Claire, while Don doest use the front door, but always the backdoor
but yea there's some weird overlaps
this can be taken 2 ways and I dont like it
wait shit that can be taken as 2 ways as well 
america
Of your house dum dum
I mean yeah but you know what I meant!
you can be taken 2 ways
what if u get house arrest and ur homeless

I have absolutely no idea what you meant
homeless ppl dont get house arrest, x
uhuh sure suni
he meant u were being lewd
and sus
anyway hi pea
They are just lewd by thinking about that stuff
i was supposed to sleep but ive been sleeping for days and dont even know what day it is anymore
I mean, the reason I use my houses backdoor is becuase its basically build backwards

I always bully the south for it though
I mean the city sure I guess, students go there and so be young people
They are more clinics tho

my clinic has a 4 year waiting list to get 1 apointment
Same here
If you want the public route of course, you can also go private
ive had a few, but its been 10 years... so.... watched my life go bye bye
Oh suni I just meant like overal percentage of people being a part of it, south has the most
I don't live in the south!

hey hey just ask if you want a ride!

you know whats stinky, if I want a car kind of like my name I have one option which isnt fit for dutch roads, atleast not southern ones
hey just ask about the car's extended warranty
I did the head gasket on mine because they were a weak point
you're a mechanic?
Pretend to be
Not for a living if u asking that
I'm a mechanical engineer, but know my way around tools
This is the car most similar to my name because of the trim/engine
Duramax, which no my name isnt based off
Amurican
murica
I know for a fact that would break every road in the south and in the big cities
even in Groningen they barely go through
it's an italian car
put 'murican flags on it and drive around blasting "America! Fuck yeah!"
Poland just bought the rights to make it
Ill stick to vietnam war era music for murican stuff
the helicopters and warcrimes are coming
I lost my charger for my headset

31
ahhhh
old 
i wish i was that old already kinda
i wish i was younger
Well my bodies already broken so it doesnt really matter

its not the body rather what you are doing in life at that point
existing
being lazy
that or having to do things that I generally enjoy or am ok with
building bunbams
having more of a choice
I will continue to build them until I have so many I can even put those japanese people to shame with their infinite boxes of kits
Meh its not that cool, im not the only person that does this
ye but still
and some people customise the fuck outta their stuff
there's literally competitions for it
just dump it on tiktok or something and you'll get some views for it
only because of all the cringey kids tho
i wouldnt use it unless i know i can make alot of money by using it
tiktok is for the kids of today
depends though
I would follow some Gundam posting ngl
tiktok is literally ez view farming simulator
no matter what you post you get ez views
for you I count as a "kid of today" but god I will never touch tiktok with a world long pole
how difficult is it to start earning money on tiktok
Not very apparently
or well whats the threshhold of views or followers u need
Just look good and youll be able to make money somehow
sadly, I dont look good so thats already a no
Just take good Gundam pics
but isnt tiktok videos
yes
wow I know one thing about it
Stop motion Gundam battles do it donra
Just do it on twitter
i only have 146 followers on twitter
I have 15 
I have 16 yt subs 
but, one of them is a verified racing person
it probably says in their profile
nah they just followed a lot of people and I happen to be in it
man does motorcycle stuff
laaaamr
imagine if max verstappen followed me 
i have a twitter acc but its the wrong username so im@a change it to my gud alias
ill follow u im so famous bro
What 
Just no
wha
He probably thinks he's too good for everyone else
I mean he's just a rich parents kid ofcourse
but being followed by any f1 racing driver would be pog
It's why i dislike famous people
is he pretentious
ehhh
I dont watch enough after the races to really know
but he has a whole store dedicated to him around the netherlands
so I'd say yes
woop

what is going on here?
Many things
breakfast.
I forgot that existed
its okidoki
I wonder how old that video is
as old as u

Just how does that sound lewd?!?!
Well if hand holding is lewd... I'll let you work the rest out

Not sure if you been to a hema before, but we use small blue totes where products go in (and get shipped out)

Somewhere a facial recognition ai weeps
Love seeing it peg a specific core
wait, an 128Gig mem?
(how)
btw i just played some tetr.io with my friends with weird setting
and we got this one :
doc : O spin is not real. it cant hurt you
me :

messed the spin mode with 'STUPID' one and it really like ____
(yeah, mode name is 'STUPID', really)
Not even that stupid.
Still takes a good thinking and a adjusted execution to actually make everything spinn
yeaaaah thats right..... but everything can be S P I N so just single combo transforms to B2B one. how nice when i got hit 5x B2B
5x is completely normal in default game 
Stack clean tetrisses. 
5x B2B is also "just" B2B lvl 2
so 6 instead of 4 lines on a quad or t spin.
Still manageable
wow fpaul grandmaster
😦
just grandparent
I heard ur starting to feel a bit better from whatever bug u caught
doc wants to run a coof test still, probably this week
im hopeful its just a stupid cold that went wrong, but who even knows these days 🤣
dont usually get sick from much of anything, so this was a surprise
are private covid tests still stupid expensive in usa
or are they more reasonable now
Guys for a fake gamer girl prank I need to know does valexii_ sound like a real username lol
wouldnt know, but our doc office does em at low/no cost
Covid go brr
nice
Crazy to think over 5 million people passed away because of covid
I got a covid test free the other day at cvs
Ohhh
at least I didn't have covid
yeah it was stressful for sure
but I got lucky... a bunch of friends did get it and we had been together
Honestly even working in the medical field, no one can be sure. My guess it’s probably some random bug u caught…. People tend to forget that there is more then just covid out in the world
Morning
Good morning
steam vr results, yet when i play vrchat and toggle a mirror on i drop to 40 frames and it gets worse the more avatars i have on. Is there any fixes that can up my frames?
Is there like a file or something i need to edit? or some kind of secret setting that tanks performance?
What headset do u have
rift s
That is why
how so
Listen that is normal behavior
Steamvr and oculus have stuff built into software so ur frames don’t keep jumping around it is tied to the refresh rate if the headset
So, when the headset can’t reach its frames (I think rift s is 80hrtz) meaning 80 frames it halves it and keeps it at 40 so u don’t get jittery frames
more like upgrading to an nvidia 3080
but you can try lowering the graphics settings in-game

already have that off
is there a way to check the average frames for gpu?
because i have a 1070ti
unclocked
hm, it could also be the amount of avatars in the world with a lot of moving parts, tried limiting dyn bone settings?
U need to turn it off for both
So this is oculus shit
Let me find steams shit
And turn off motion smoothing in steamvr @pale tulip
Expect more frame drops and shit tho
I'm beginning to wonder if I'm actually enough of an alcoholic to really just dump a million hours at a time into VRC with my friends every day like a lot of my friends do. 😔
Not like: "Oh fuck, I need alcohol to stay here and chat for more than an hour at a time" but like... idk... Alcohol or even just some "puff-puff" really helps me socially just take the edge off for hours upon hours at a time, if I am in a social situation for that long. And up until this game... I've kinda always avoided social engagement for that long at a time, because as much as I love it, it does drain me a fair bit.
Thing is, that's not the whole situation... 
I rarely drink on vrc, my friends get absolutely hammered pretty much every weekend
that's the thing I'm apprehensive about.
I can vibe with friends and especially close friends, but even then, after a decent amount of time there are those moments where I just go silent and just...... it's not even that I'm particularly like "oh fuck, socially awkward" status, at least not anymore, not nearly as much. (struggled with that all of growing up) but just... idk... I get my moments where it just ends up showing I'm not really a super particularly social person for more than a small while at a time and... I guess I get fearful it turns others away from me; makes 'em feel like I just suddenly don't care anymore or something when that's not the case at all - that it's just that I've reached my limit and just don't really know what to do about it or what to do otherwise either in those moments.
I don't want people to think I'm some sociopath or that I've lost interest or something. 
Very weird issue u got there
I just talk and talk for hours…. So I have no idea
I mean do u not feel like talking or do u run out of things to say?
Mm, different types of people.
I manage it the best I can. I guess not particularly even that I "run out of things to say" but more just... idk, enough time in a social engagement and I just start to feel "numb". It's nothing personal to anyone - happens with just about everyone I ever hang out with after long enough.
I think I partially know what you mean, something similar happens to me as well.
could try getting a friends group that doesnt mind that, u could also just laying back and listening to what everyone says for a while
mornings 
They don't mind it, at least, as far as I can tell... Just might confuse most, I suppose. But then I get thinking about how it must make them feel and... all that emotional stuff...
mornin toof 

could always let em know, bottling it up might not be the best situation
am now knows as toof
MiniToof
heh
The way I see it though... It's not even something to really "bring up" to anyone. I realize it's ultimately just me using up all my energy for idle socializing and just, needing a rest from it for a bit by that point but, it doesn't particularly actually hurt or affect anyone else emotionally. I only get slightly paranoid in my head that it does.
my "mia didnt see the toofdoc yet" alarm is going off...

That's kind of what brings me around to why I mentioned it being a thing of like "I don't know if I'm enough of an alcoholic" because some kind of substance in me does help mute those emotions and that feeling of need for a moment's rest from it all.
It's not healthy to mute emotions normally, but this is one of those situations where it doesn't make sense not to, since it's more of a paranoia than a genuine, socially reciprocal emotional state.
I guess something to note for my next therapist visit.
Do you get this paranoia with all friend groups or just some?
Any friend I've ever had in life now, group of mutuals or just one and their friends or just all personal friends alike. Doesn't really seem to be different in any of those cases.
I'm about to be 25. (Hate getting older but I guess it is what it is)
hmm, a follow up question, do you or your friend (if in a one on one convo) or in friends group lead the conversations?
or in some cases are expected to lead in convos
I can hold my own and lead a conversation if I must. But I tend to not be the first one to actually pipe up and do so most times, if that makes sense, unless it's one-on-one and I'm starting off by greeting someone or something of the sort.
This feels like you are just a mild introvert. Being able to socialize for a bit and then you need a bit of time for yourself
off-topic but I like your banner Aayla.
Mhm, I've been aware of that much for years now - not many aspects of my personality have actually drastically shifted other than a very select few ever since I was even aware I had any kind of personality.
But it's a problem if friends expect me to be able to sustain that state for longer and I can't meet that expectation, no?
Thanku. It's the entire Bee Movie. 
I know. 
I’m not an expert but when you mention the numb feeling, it reminds me of disassociation. At a certain point I feel the same when with others for a bit, I tend to stop talking and also completely forget what was being said and my head just kinda goes blank? Idk if that’s kind of similar to you
its perfectly normal to 'burn-out' after lengthy convos, u could always hop worlds, say brb, just listen while eating, head off vrc for a bit or just listen in, lay down for a bit, just know its perfectly normal, i think the issue arises where you have to assert yourself and be the one saying that you're gonna sit out for a bit
I do kind of love it when I get random messages from someone I'm in a same server with like "is that the entire Bee Movie?" And I just hit 'em back with:
"Yes.
"
Perhaps, but... It's certainly not dissociation at all. If anything I usually have no problem recalling the majority of what was said leading up to that point or anything. Usually no particular trauma responses that I can tell other than the usual ones that are otherwise something different I'm learning to manage better.
I do typically find myself just retreating to a place to lay down or something for a bit in those instances... Anything else, especially straight up leaving out of a world or something I fear just feels rude.
i think the issue arises where you have to assert yourself and be the one saying that you're gonna sit out for a bit
Oh, yes, absolutely that, actually.
It would just feel rude to do so. Overly self-serving to the point of feeling overly indulgent in my own narcissism just because I can't handle being socially engaged for as long as another I actually care to be engaged with still in the first place.
It's the care bit... If I genuinely didn't care to be around a person or engage with them, I would just stop doing so, no problem.
im guessing a problem arises if the situation involves a significant other or a close-friend which you arrived with
if im understanding this correctly you end up wanting to force yourself into social situations to still feel connected to the other person, use alcohol to numb the feeling and continue being social
get fbt so you can lay on the floor instead of drinking
I have FBT.
well there you go
if this is the case you should have these kinds of talks like what we're having to the person in question, be it your significant other or the close friend
Getting into one of my other prominent social struggles.
Talking directly with someone about an intrapersonal or interpersonal issue. 
I'm great with directness in any other context...
also reflecting on these things is good, others call it 'venting' but it allows you to see and theorize different solutions
that is very hard : (
yeah, i somewhat understand this, its different if u talk to someone random about it since likely, you'll noy come across them again
this is good to a degree that you can vent your feelings but it should be used as a staging ground for what you plan to do
@oak widget you have good advice, I never know how to say what my brain is thinking lol
Of course. times when it comes to things like this my venting isn't ever particularly goalless.
Fighting the social fear of having to do so with people involved though... That's another story
Then I end up getting good advice, and letting my fear get the best of me and I just sit on that advice, but it takes forever for me to actually put it into action for a social situation.
i think that as long as you try, thats already a huge step and somthing to be really proud of
This is actually tying into another thing I discussed with my therapist with regard to taking and interpreting feedback from others...
the off-topic therapy channel
can be good for a while but if u dont end up eventually taking action on it it will eventually just become a bandaid to a scar
I've always struggled to take feedback as actual feedback, rather than an indicator that I don't meet the person's expectations and therefore am to expect their feedback as shame.
Not nearly as much an issue if I barely know the person though.
Really only an issue there with ones I'm close with.
thankies
though im just a doof way past my bedtime 
Thanks everyone, btw, for your insights.
omg its 3 am

8:32 am for me xD still havent slept
Go sleep
am a bit hungry tho
Hunger is just an emotion
You can ignore it
im not very good with words but i am always open to just listen
That only works periodically. 
holy cannoli
But yes, do please get some sleep. Sleep is healthy.
these friends that youre close with, how long bave you known them? could it be anxiety building up that you havent brought it up with them earlier so the longer it goes without bringing it up the worse it gets?
but im hungryyy
I mean it's 8.36am here as well, and haven't slept either, but i had nightshift
Eh... Happens if I've known the person anywhere from a few months to literally half my life.
so its not that you feel its 'too late to tell them'? right?
Not particularly that, no.
I don't really think of pretty much any friendship as there ever really being a "too late". Though I don't think everyone else has the same philosophy on friendship as I do. That even if something could have been done better or someone lets me down, it doesn't mean I necessarily have to end a friendship over it.
Just like how if I do have to end a friendship over an instance of that (context dependent of course), and the person apologized, I can forgive them but even then it doesn't necessarily mean that I can trust them again, at least not quickly.
I just have like a very very small amount of actual friends
I need to get some people that are my ride or die yknow
I wonder if this has anything to do with my issues with engaging with people drastically older than me (like we're talking 10 or more years - enough of a difference to be obvious without needing to ask how old the person is).
In presence of anyone significantly older than me this is like times 1,000.
At that point, I would say it even extends into genuine social anxiety again.
Do you have a past history of older people being arses and condensending to you

lucky
its quiet

Why do people assume people's ex are bad people? like yeah i get it, a majority of relationships are literally dog shit, but thats cuz you failed to communicate properly with your ex. Theres no need to hate them passively simply because you both lost interested in each other. I got along with my ex just fine and we communicate and are friends with each other even now.
Because they are 50% at fault and dont want to admit that
So they blame the other side 100% what makes them think 'fuck that' and be toxic back at them
so in other words stubborn people?

well its their religion
Gorilla
it would suck badly if you were born amish, but you have the smarts of a genius
I heard they still use stuff like phones though, like basic needs
would it? i can think of a million things modern society drives "geniuses" mad with, that such a lifestyle wouldnt.
well yeah they have to use modern tools to communicate
I for one wouldnt exactly be against just living in a tiny pocket of Nope forever lol
what is a telephone
thou mother
thouest*

fact: the Amish never have to deal with crashers.
😅
they never have to deal with finding out about anime and the hens with ties
They don't have to deal with idiots on twitter
see, there's upsides after all 😄
Oh yeah they never have to see how stupid people actually can be
i had the dubious experience of watching the modern online world form from nothing, and uh
I can tell you first-hand, things werent anywhere near as chaotic or stressful in the Dark Before Times
the chart of rising online accessibility and my cortisol levels is one line
old man
the internet used to be fun
now its pain
it was never fun, you just didnt know how horrible it could be at first. 😄
i can imagine partially that it can be peaceful, but most times they wouldn't be able to recover from alot of threats such as the covid if it ever existed or was there before
would've been consider it as another plague in history record
humans managed to do it just fine before.
I feel like its worse now
yeah
because you know, no facebook no idiots
unless there was conspiracy theory magazine or something
tbh don it kinda is. way easier travel and communication is the one-two punch of people rapidly crossing the globe, and spreading rumors that a given pandemic "isnt so bad" simultaneously. never had that before.
it makes stuff better, and worse the internet
hecc, international flights as a common thing is a very recent phenomenon
the internet usually exaggerated alot of stuff
not as much exaggerated as amplified.
example: youve got a crazy uncle, we'll call him Uncle Ted. Now, Ted thinks there's neon in the drinking sprite or something, and that it turns your brain into a luminescent gas.
Most people around Ted are going to rightfully point out that this is a stupid thing to think
he is a rare case, isolated in his particular area.
but now, Ted can reach out to other, similar isolated persons across the globe, and they will repeat this theory amongst themselves so often that it becomes truth to them.
and itll just spread
this congregation of insanity culminates in a very loud, potentially dangerous group of people.
and the louder they get, the more some random outliers will wonder if there's truth in it. then they spread it.
and so on.
so basically fricken twitter then
mhm
at that point theres really no way to stop it
it is what it is 
pick a social media platform. doesnt matter.
though frankly, you wont find the worst of it on mainstream social media services.
twitter, discord, fb,, its everywhere
well i said twitter cuz of the retweet button
it tends to congregate in private forums.
4chan and reddit
right right
still too public. it might start there, but that's not where it gets up to speed
the amplification happens in weird little nooks no one's ever heard of, like TedsNeonSprite.com, a forum for people who think there's neon in the sprite
then spills out into less fringe but still semi-isolated chambers like reddit/the chans/etc

thats funny, but i have notice that before on some other subject, but they all died out
things like the Y2K
adding to this, almost no one can tell who the speaker really is in a given post/tweet/whatever. no context of age, location, history, experience, anything at all. there's just words that people will read through their own filters, as though being spoken to by someone semi-familiar to them.
yeah
Depends
most people on twitter fully dox theirselfs with all information you need, and dont need

people dox themselves everywhere, bad actors rarely need to try hard.
btw stop doxing urselves
I don't like lemons.
i dont exist
Lemon is british
