hai iara

[faint mountain]

@ripe junco gn

gn dbl! :D

[trail stratus]

hello !

[west ledge]

how are you?

how's mimu doing

[trail stratus]

mimu doing okay i think

i kinda took a break from mimu for a while but it seems to be in good shape now

wbuuu

[west ledge]

poggies

[trail stratus]

also am good bc i have boba

[west ledge]

slay

am preparing for (hopefully) college entry next year

[trail stratus]

gl! comp sci?

[west ledge]

yup

[trail stratus]

good luck !!

[quartz moss]

computer science is a scam don't let them get to you

[trail stratus]

i dropped out of comp sci

[quartz moss]

it's all MATH

[trail stratus]

thats true

[west ledge]

why

i've heard the rate of college drop outs here are increasing so

[quartz moss]

i've said it a million times before but personally i do not care one bit about the degree, going to university is just a way for me to move out of my home town that has a very industrialized economy

whether it's worth it really just depends on circumstance

[west ledge]

fairs

don't some companies look at your degree though

[quartz moss]

yeah but if i had lived in a bigger city i'd probably just try and get some internships somewhere to begin with

at least in university i'm getting both a degree and work experience

[trail stratus]

i really wanted to complete it, but between mimu, having a full time job, having a part time job, and living alone in a country where i hardly know many ppl, it just wasn't really possible

i tried doing school parttime for a period of time, then eventually dropped out

i always just wanted to do it just to finish it reallky and also having that credential - some companies still do require a degree, but many don't need it anymore. we are kinda in a tech recession rn though, so having a degree atm is more preferable than ever.

but between a fresh grad vs a candidate with experience - theyll take a candidate with experience any day

[quartz moss]

were you in school in canada?

[urban bane]

ok

hm prob

he prob was

[west ledge]

icic noted

[urban bane]

ok

[quartz moss]

god why they gotta jack the train prices up so high for the holidays

mf i'm not paying $200 for a ticket from ottawa to toronto 😭

[west ledge]

because... it's the holidays?

it happens all the time

[quartz moss]

yeah but i highly doubt they're actually selling out

[urban bane]

ok

[trail stratus]

yuppers! i was in my second year heading into my third when i decided to drop out

[quartz moss]

damn you were rocking two jobs while doing that too?

were you in a co-op program?

[trail stratus]

yea i did 😔 + mimu

i left my part time job a couple, months ago (march)

[quartz moss]

yeah that's wild

were you an international student as well?

cause if so that tuition is

yikes

[trail stratus]

nop thankfully

i was born in canada so i have canadian citizenship

LOL

[quartz moss]

💪

tuition is only really high instead of 4x really high

[trail stratus]

I did go to a relatively expensive thingy

But it wasn’t too bad

IIRC 10-12k per sem

[quartz moss]

with housing?

[trail stratus]

NOP

[quartz moss]

THEN YEAH THAT'S REALLY BAD

[trail stratus]

LOL

[quartz moss]

MINE IS 8k PER YEAR 😭

[trail stratus]

i think its less

if u dont study cs

[quartz moss]

the ONLY school i can find in ON with domestic tuition that high is waterloo

was your ass in waterloo???

[trail stratus]

parm in his dox era

😔

but no

[quartz moss]

hey not my fault if i was adding 2 + 2 together

still came to 5 either way

but like goddamn that is expensive

[trail stratus]

it rly was

LOL

IT WAS LESS BAD WHEN I STUDIED PARTTIME THO

[quartz moss]

bUT THEN YOU'D BE STUDYING FOR TWICE AS LONG

yeah this is my tuition lol

only slightly cheaper

[trail stratus]

TRUE

[quartz moss]

i do like the logic though

if i go to the grocery store twice per week it's cheaper than once a week!

if only it worked like that 😔

but christ if you were paying $20k for tuition on top of housing + meals that's like

$35k per year

[trail stratus]

oh yea

[quartz moss]

at minimum

[trail stratus]

mimu paid for like

my first year of tuition

[strong spindle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[trail stratus]

LOL

[strong spindle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[trail stratus]

rent i paid from savings and just working

[quartz moss]

that's pretty swag but still

lotta debt 😔

[trail stratus]

im thnakfully not in any debt

despite that

[quartz moss]

thats gotta be hard decision too when you're going into third year its like

you've already spent that muhc

[trail stratus]

fr

[quartz moss]

d oyou just commit at that point

[trail stratus]

SUNK COST FALLACY

but i wa slike

its either i leave my job

or leave school

[quartz moss]

why not leave both 😎

[trail stratus]

i literaly thought about it the entire year i was part-time

bc my entire life puprpose is working

and if i left both i woulid feel like i have no purpose

and want to cry myself to sleep

😎

[quartz moss]

real but you'd probably do that either way!!!

i am the exact same way

i need to do something but then i don't like doing it

[trail stratus]

ya butu

at least instead of crying in bed over nothing

i can cry at my desk awhilst working!!!

we going places

also i guess

[quartz moss]

paid to cry

[trail stratus]

i realized id rather do the thing

that makes me money

than do the thing that takes my money

money may not buy happiness

but it does buy skincare, manicures, cute clothes, ... and also therapy (my life motto)

[quartz moss]

yeah but think of how much more money you could be making with that shiny degree

(probably not more idk)

[trail stratus]

prob not more considering the tech recession 😎

[quartz moss]

i honestly have no friggin idea what type of job i would even be able to land here outside of government jobs

[trail stratus]

bc u live in the middle of nowher?E

or bc of the degree ur doing

[quartz moss]

nah ottawa now

[trail stratus]

what degree r u doing?

[quartz moss]

cs

uottawa

[trail stratus]

why do u feel like u cant then

[quartz moss]

[quartz moss]

shopify 💪💪💪💪💪💪

[west ledge]

[quartz moss]

[trail stratus]

[quartz moss]

covid online school didn't go well

[trail stratus]

LOL

i tihnk im p good at working remote but

i end up jnust overworking

which is just a problem in itself thats not exclusvie to remote

[quartz moss]

i should have just gone into the trades fr

could have been making $40 an hour by now

[trail stratus]

thats true trades r always in demand

but also manual labor

[quartz moss]

that was my job over the summer

i survived that

[trail stratus]

dayum

[quartz moss]

and it probably would be less strenous at a unionized place lol

man that job was such a fluke

never in a million years did i think i'd be doing that

[trail stratus]

i hear ppl making 6 digits literally right after getting a certificatoin

for trades

[quartz moss]

if i don't make 6 figures out of school i'm going to get angry and throw a hissy fit

[trail stratus]

in cad you certainly will

in usd tho

inflation will have to go brrr a bit more

LOL

[quartz moss]

137k cad

[trail stratus]

sry man

canadian companies pay like shit

[quartz moss]

:(

[trail stratus]

[tough hemlock]

Savior Cosmic

[west ledge]

[trail stratus]

your mistake was when you decided to do a masters

[teal granite]

4x harder than before

[steep bane]

I see me in the screen shot

[west ledge]

i mean that is to be expected when you're going for a masters degree

[teal granite]

i realised that on the first day

[trail stratus]

Why’d you decide to pursue a masters anyways

[teal granite]

here there's limited scope if u only do bachelors

[trail stratus]

Ah

[teal granite]

rn every engineer guy doing btech and then doing masters in business admin

[trail stratus]

why accounting and not sth programming related?

[teal granite]

i had background in accounts and finance only from the start

[trail stratus]

WHY ME AGAIN

[quartz moss]

[teal granite]

[trail stratus]

🧍‍♀️

[tough hemlock]

[quartz moss]

i thought that classes started again in feb but they start like jan 6 😭

[trail stratus]

because delulu

That literally never happens

[quartz moss]

erm i have this summer off

that's FOUR whole months

then all the summers after are co op terms 😔

[trail stratus]

Damn that’s a half of a gap year

[quartz moss]

i also did a gap year lol

dollar store gap year i did one more semester of high school

[trail stratus]

That’s a scam

[quartz moss]

hey i enjoyed it

it was good times i met a lot of new people

and my course load was just physics and statistics it was ezpz

[trail stratus]

Ya but what an anticlimactic gap year

I’m technically on gap year lol

But I just consider myself a drop out cos girlie ain’t going back

[quartz moss]

why not make it official

you're leading the poor uni on 😔 think of them!!!

what are they gonna do without your tuition

[trail stratus]

Poor uni on that literally took 24k a year from me

[quartz moss]

how would you feel if someone was paying you 24k a year then suddenly stopped huh

[trail stratus]

LOL

not surprised bc 24k a year is a lot

[quartz moss]

anyways bedtime for me i have an 8:30 class

(i am not going to it)

[trail stratus]

Sleep well tho

[quartz moss]

it's just a tutorial who even caaaaares

[trail stratus]

Are you staying in a dorm or sth

[trail stratus]

das the room

2 beds in the one room 2 desks and a kitchenette in the other

and a bathroom 💪

[twin tiger]

Why did I have ping here?

[quartz moss]

if it was my fault i'd like to apologize

[trail stratus]

That’s actually giant

Literally bigger than my place

[quartz moss]

damn that's the big city life for ya

only thing that stinks is it's about a 20 minute walk from campus

it's closer to downtown than it is campus

well it's 10-15 mins to the nearside of campus and 20 mins to the far side

[teal granite]

my campus is 30min far (with bike)

50% money goes in fuel

[quartz moss]

damn that stinks

oh right not bicycle

[teal granite]

ikr

[quartz moss]

that stinks even more

[teal granite]

its so far from city dude

[quartz moss]

ngl most of the time i don't even walk to campus i just take the bus to the train and take the train to campus

it's not actually any faster it just saves my lazy ass a few steps

[teal granite]

there's no train or bus

[quartz moss]

that describes ottawa about half the time too /s

i can't complain too much there's like 5 bus lines that run down my street so im never really having to wait more than 10 minutes for a bus

and despite all the complaining i've heard the o train seems reliable enough

[teal granite]

good for u

[trail stratus]

Ngl one of my biggest regrets was not considering location when I was applying for unis

[teal granite]

this^

[trail stratus]

it rly kills ur motivation to go when the travel is long

[quartz moss]

its such a big deal and it's so understated

[teal granite]

bru i just went for best one in which i got shortlisted

lmao

without thinking

[quartz moss]

i won't lie i did the absolute same

but i did consider that at least in applying to universities within ottawa between uottawa and carleton

[teal granite]

not just location but even campus and its rules and weird dude

[quartz moss]

i was like huh carleton really just is in the middle of nowhere isn't it

[trail stratus]

mine wasn’t just the best one but mine was like

Based on what subject I ended up choosing last minute LOL

I don’t recommend getting into uni at age 16 without knowing wtf u wanna do

[quartz moss]

pfft

i have no idea if i really want to do cs but i just said fuck it i gotta pick something

[trail stratus]

Coming from someone who grew up in HK which is literally a metropolitan city

When I chose my school here

I DID NOT thing about the fact that the world is NOT just all city

[teal granite]

i got shortlisted in a 2nd tier mba college first i was fully ready to join everything was packed and then i got mail from iim (one of the top bschool in india) 2 days before joining and without thinking i joined iim

[quartz moss]

i have lived everywhere but the big city i am so happy to be here

it's a lot different looking outside your window and seeing a lively street than it is seeign a cornfield

[trail stratus]

I lowkey think I’ll get depression just living in the country or any suburban area that’s relatively quiet

I lived in suburbs for a bit and literally was the embodiment of depression

[quartz moss]

i don't mind like prewar suburbs but i wouldn't want to live in a modern car centric one

[trail stratus]

I’m totally good with that HAHAHA

[quartz moss]

tbf the old suburb i used to live in was prewar so it was quite nice

small houses and they're quite close

i was right beside an hs too but i wouldn't have even been able to go to that one rip

[teal granite]

there's nothing here not even single shop around like 8-9kms

just agri land

[quartz moss]

yeah the spot i ended up living afterwards was like outskirts so it was all fields but we were only about 3km from the closest grocery store and whatnot

[teal granite]

oh btw we have central jail right behind campus

[quartz moss]

still kinda stank though cause it's like dead asf

not to say that ottawa isn't either but yk

ottawa's such a weird city man

it does not feel like a city of > 1 mill

but it also does at the same time

[teal granite]

just googled

so many castle dude

[quartz moss]

yeah it's the capital

[teal granite]

u have so many places to visit 😭

[quartz moss]

i mean they're cool but it's not like i'm going to visit them more tha nonce

[teal granite]

are they good or not?

[quartz moss]

idk ive never been lol

ive like

[teal granite]

there's only one thing here

[quartz moss]

walked up to parliament and taken photos

[teal granite]

and that's

lake and zoo

[quartz moss]

it's just the downtown feels like it's been cut out of another city and transplanted here

if it wasn't for the federal government i feel like half of it would not exist

[teal granite]

ooh

[quartz moss]

it's literally like 5 x 7 blocks of skyscrapers then it just suddenly tapers down

and it's like downtown is ALL office

there's some residential but it's mostly on the outskirts

[teal granite]

oh lol

[quartz moss]

anyways bedtime for real

gotta get my 11h of sleep

[teal granite]

11h?

😕

[quartz moss]

yeah i don't have to wake up until noon so

up to 11h

i need it man

[teal granite]

lucky

[quartz moss]

i do not feel well rested on 8 hours

[teal granite]

gn

[urban bane]

ok

[trail stratus]

Ya same

I need min 9 hours

[west ledge]

i've been sleeping on 4-5 hours

[urban bane]

hm sounds about right

[trail stratus]

I’m convinced everyone who sleeps less than 8 and “functions” doesn’t actually need to function that much every day

[urban bane]

hm ok

[quartz moss]

oh one more thing the tap water here is so dam. good

[teal granite]

same 4am-8am

sometimes 8:30

[trail stratus]

Tap water is rucking gross

[quartz moss]

i feel more rested on 3 hours than i do 6 ngl

[trail stratus]

Distilled only ftw

[quartz moss]

wrong! wrong! wrong!

[trail stratus]

Same

[teal granite]

i have classes from 8:45-1:10pm

[trail stratus]

Ever since I turned 19 or so I have needed min 9 hours to function

[quartz moss]

ive been a filtered water baby all my life we had a french door fridge at home with the water dispenser but like

[trail stratus]

If I sleep less than 8 I’m having an all day migraine

[quartz moss]

tap water is so good

[west ledge]

sometimes i can be in school from 7am to 8pm

[trail stratus]

I’m a distilled water baby

[quartz moss]

distilled water sounds icky yucky

you need something in the water

[trail stratus]

My biggest grocery expense is probably distilled water

[teal granite]

they have classes that long?

[quartz moss]

wtf

[trail stratus]

The only thing u need in water is h2o and nothing else

[quartz moss]

you cant even drink filtered water?

[west ledge]

nope, just lots of classes

[trail stratus]

I can but I won’t drink it unless it’s like ALL I HAVE and I’m thirsty af

[west ledge]

oh and that combined with 4 hours of sleep

🤌

[quartz moss]

wack asf

[dusky vine]

most hardworking indonesian student

[west ledge]

nah

least actually

[teal granite]

half of my time goes to committee working hours lmao

[quartz moss]

also like the tap you're drinking out of changes it a lot

my bathroom water is so much better than my kitchen water

[teal granite]

[trail stratus]

That sounds oddly gross

[quartz moss]

no but fr idk why

its also colder

[trail stratus]

I think tap water is actually unbearable

Normal bottled water is “I’ll drink it I guess”

[quartz moss]

man thats messed up

[teal granite]

bro im used to everything i can drink both

[trail stratus]

Distilled water is “I’ll take 10 of those and 300 boxes more pls”

[quartz moss]

you are killing the planet ngl not very #cool

[trail stratus]

[quartz moss]

think of all that plastic

[trail stratus]

I’m also ok with boiled filter water!

It’s like

Tap water <<<< filtered < bottled water < boiled filter water <<<<< distilled

[teal granite]

just have a mineral water filter in ur kitchennnnnnn

[trail stratus]

[quartz moss]

youve heard of walter white but have you heard of water white

only the purest water

[trail stratus]

I DO HAVE ONE BUT I STILL PREFER PLAIN H2O

I sometimes just boil my filtered water

[quartz moss]

"plain h2o" 😭

[trail stratus]

YES

[dusky vine]

??

whar

[trail stratus]

WHO WANRS RANDOM ASS SHIT IN THERE

WAT ITS BETTER BOILED

[dusky vine]

[trail stratus]

IM SORRY I GREW UP IN HK WHERE EVERYONE BOILS THEIR WATER

IT TASTES DIFFERENT

[quartz moss]

THATS WHWT WATER IS!!!!

WATER HAS SHIT IN IT

[trail stratus]

IT TASTES DIFFEEAND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL

[quartz moss]

i do agree it tastes slightly different

[trail stratus]

DRASTICALLY

it’s like the diff between Pepsi and Coca Cola

[quartz moss]

iff you're sitting there drinking your water like you're tasting wine

[trail stratus]

OK IDC ABOUT WINE BUT WAYER I WILL FIGHT

[teal granite]

Have some nd stay hydrated

[quartz moss]

nah man some cities have bunk ass tap water but anything in southern ontario is gonna be FIIINE

[trail stratus]

cute bottle

smart water is the goat

[quartz moss]

[trail stratus]

I don’t have a water problem I swear

To GIVE US WATER TO DISTILL?

SO I CAN DRINK IT?

[quartz moss]

to give us water to DRINK

[teal granite]

Oh this bottle

It’s good

[quartz moss]

the city does the job of filtering it for you

[dusky vine]

maybe sleeping problem?

[trail stratus]

I don’t have a sleeping problem

I’m doing my skincare rn and then I sleep soon

[quartz moss]

im boutta have a sleeping problem the way im gonna catch these Zs

[trail stratus]

[quartz moss]

when i wake up i will have a laundry problem though i have SO MUCH laundry to do

fucj these machines here they're so small

one load at home is easily equal to three here

[trail stratus]

Do you pay per load

[quartz moss]

nah its free

but good luck finding an open machine there's 1 set per floor

[trail stratus]

Then why is it so smol

[quartz moss]

assuming they even work

[trail stratus]

LOL

[teal granite]

Bru sameeeee

[quartz moss]

cause they are pay machines just they're free

[teal granite]

And it’s not that good in Washing too

[trail stratus]

I GUESS THEy had to cut budget somewhere

I have a laundry problem tho

My laundry basket is full

Mostly bc of boyfriends clothes there from when he left

But now mine is mixed on top of it

[quartz moss]

yeah my friggin 12k a year for residence is just going down the drain clearly

[trail stratus]

So now I have to do double laundry

12k a year is a steal tbh

[quartz moss]

i have like a basket and a half of CLOTHES and i need to wash towels and sheets too

12k a year is meh

[trail stratus]

But also

I’m just used to Toronto housing prices

[quartz moss]

yes

[teal granite]

Wait what 12k a year

[quartz moss]

but also a 1bedroom would probably cost at least $2k here anyways so

[trail stratus]

Pensive wobble emoji rn bc my tiny apartment is worth 3.6k per month rn on market price

studio btw

[quartz moss]

raaaah

[trail stratus]

So I can’t move out

[quartz moss]

is it at least downtown lol

fair

[trail stratus]

Pensive

Housing is too expensive

[quartz moss]

ong i do not want to have to graduate and fend for myself

toronto is a nice city but not a $3.6k per month nice city

[proven garden]

I guess I can be glad that I live in a cheap countryside as I wanna move out from home

[dusky vine]

move out, get better internet

[quartz moss]

the canadian housing market is a dilemma because either i live in van or TO and spend $60k a year for a 500sqft or i live in montreal and am forced to speak french lest i hear "nous sommes en Québec nous parlons français"

[trail stratus]

countryside is so depressing tho

[proven garden]

but I still need to evaluate budgets regardless since I also dont get paid too much tbh

[trail stratus]

I would much rather pay 3k in rent to live in city than pay 100 to live in a countryside with nothing

[quartz moss]

as a young adult i agree when im 40 we'll see

[trail stratus]

Bc I literally get so depressed when I’m in not in the city esp without family around / not living with someone

yea it might change when I’m 40

LOL

BUT FOR NOW my 21 year old self would like to stay in the city

[quartz moss]

when it takes 20 minutes to go 2km yknow

it gets to you

[trail stratus]

Hey maybe if I’m married or sth I’ll be happy in a suburban home 5 mins away from Walmart

[quartz moss]

i just want mcdonalds

[trail stratus]

LMAO

[proven garden]

I mean I have friends here that I enjoy doing things with
but other than that there's not much to do thats true but I also spend most of the time in my room so

[quartz moss]

well yeah we all do!!

[trail stratus]

R u living w ppl marco

[quartz moss]

it's not about the 95% of the time you're in your room its about the 5% of the time you don't want to be

[proven garden]

I'm still living with my mom lmao

[trail stratus]

living ALONE in a quiet area is the pain

[quartz moss]

man living with parents is living alone i love my parents but like

[trail stratus]

living with your parents is hard lol

It’s just hard

[proven garden]

There were plans to move into a apartment with some friends but those were effectively cancelled

[trail stratus]

o why!

[quartz moss]

suit yourself but i appreciate the safety net ain't nobody gonna do my dishes here if I don't do them for two weeks

im purely happier here cause i can walk outside and actually do something i dont really think it has anything to do with anything else

[proven garden]

One of them is quite messy so the other one didnt really want to do it after a while
and the other one now also has a girlfriend which is starting to get priority over us

[quartz moss]

also can i just say fuck the winter so much

[proven garden]

I like spring the most

[quartz moss]

we've already had 3 snowfalls, it gets dark out at 5pm man i just wanna be able to enjoy being outside

[proven garden]

Not too wet, not too hot, not too cold/dark

[quartz moss]

hard to have a nice leisurely bike ride in this shit

like bro it's not even december lay off the snow a little bit

[quartz moss]

yeah i friggin love the spring

that smell when all the snow is melting too

its so good

[dusky vine]

as someone who has never seen snow irl, snow is a myth

[quartz moss]

be thankful

its fun when you're a fhils

child

[dusky vine]

but as an exchange its very hot and humid here

[quartz moss]

its cold and humid here it sucks

[dusky vine]

at least u could wear more layers

[quartz moss]

nothing like it being 0 but it feels like -8 because of the humidity and wind

[proven garden]

🌨️

[quartz moss]

but man i dont want to have to wear 45 layers to walk outside 10 mins only to take them off again

[dusky vine]

[proven garden]

I included the time for that exact reason

[teal granite]

[quartz moss]

like rn its -2 but it feels like -9

thanks 30kmh wind and 63% humidity!

[teal granite]

same bro its 22 but feels like 40

[quartz moss]

why is it even humid here i stg it was less humid back home and i lived right on a great lake

we got some puny ass river

[trail stratus]

LOL fair

On both points

[quartz moss]

ok yeah that is shitty

[trail stratus]

That’s true
I personally just had a hard time living with my parents growing up but that’s for my next #therapy session

[dusky vine]

🥵

[quartz moss]

the hottest it gets up to around here normally is like 30

pfft therapy

what's the point of that when you have internet strangers fr

dude it actually is more humid here than back home wtf

fuck this city fuck this country im moving to the equator

[trail stratus]

I have this irrational fear that I’ll get cancelled by someone for trauma dumping HAHHAH

Or for sharing my deepest darkest thoughts

At least if I’m paying them 300 dollars per hour they have a reason to NOT expose me

[quartz moss]

my deepest darkest thoughts are MURDER when someone does something moderately inconsiderate in front of me

[teal granite]

damn

[quartz moss]

someone doesn't hold the door open for me when im behind them? MURDER

[trail stratus]

Not so deep are they

[quartz moss]

no :(

[trail stratus]

[quartz moss]

but i do get irrationally pissed off when people do shit like that

people getting on the train while im getting off

GRRRR

[teal granite]

that's really frustrating

[quartz moss]

people standing in front of the fare gate going through their wallet GRRRRRRR

[teal granite]

ye

[quartz moss]

people standing on the left side of a nearly empty escalator GRRRRRRRRRR

[trail stratus]

I never hold the door for the next person

Not bc I’m trying to be a bitch or anything

But bc it’s not common to do in hong konf

[quartz moss]

just like swing the door all the way open man

[dusky vine]

if u have the opportunity why not

[trail stratus]

So I just like am still getting used to be a non bitch

[quartz moss]

you aint even gotta hold it just swing it as far open as it goes

[dusky vine]

unless they're really distant away then its not worth it

[quartz moss]

or cheat mode is press the handicap button ezpz

[trail stratus]

Ya no I agree I just grew up not doing it so it’s a habit to not
If they holding it for u in HK right, theyre either a bodyguard working for u or a guy who likes you or if u know em

Cos it’s like weird to do it for a stranger there ig

[quartz moss]

thats wild to me

[trail stratus]

ya it’s just a culture thing

[teal granite]

yess

somewhat same here

[quartz moss]

idk it just seems so engrained that I wouldn't even think twice about it

[trail stratus]

SEE IM NOT INSANE

[dusky vine]

yrah

[trail stratus]

YA NO THE OPPOSITE IS ENGRAINED FOR ME

But I’m trying to

unlearn it

LOL

I definitely hold the lift tho if someone’s about to come in

If I can anyways

[dusky vine]

hmmph, double standards

[trail stratus]

Just bc in HK everyone’s in a rush so it is very much appreciated

[quartz moss]

now elevators let's not talk about those

[trail stratus]

But the door? Nag

Nah

[quartz moss]

sometimes i do mash the close door button

[trail stratus]

LMAOOO

[quartz moss]

most of the time i do hold the elevator

but like if i see someone coming in the building and they're only at the 2nd door

you bet your ass im a goner

[teal granite]

[trail stratus]

Oh ya same

but if they’re like 5 feet away

I will hold it

Bc wat if they manage to get in anyways AND UR STUCK IN A LIFT W THEM

THAT AWKWARD SILENCE

[dusky vine]

just look at ur phone

i do that all the timr

[quartz moss]

well yeah if they're in running to jam their arm into the door distance then im not gonna bother trying and shutting it cause they're gonna run and jam their arm in the door

speaking of jamming the door FUCK people who do that on the train

[trail stratus]

NO BC SOMETIMES IM HOLDING TEN THINGS AND CANT HOLD THE LIFT

[quartz moss]

mf can't wait 4 minutes for the next train to roll along

[trail stratus]

and u can feel them giving u death daggers

For not holding it and then just barely making it in

And I’m like um

[dusky vine]

that's their problem

[trail stratus]

I swear I wanted to keep it open I’m just holding ten things

but I don’t say it

LOL

[quartz moss]

then you just wink and smile as the doors are closing hehe

evil grin

i think living in the city is slowly turning me evil ngl

[trail stratus]

[digital sand]

[dusky vine]

[echo oar]

It’s not a definite

[fleet inlet]

Absolutely hilarious

[tired ocean]

do you want a link to download 64 gb more ram?

i tried, it works

[strong spindle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[tired ocean]

im getting this

[real belfry]

MacBook Pro is awesome though, especially the 16"

[hardy sun]

Holy shit no way!

[muted bobcat]

@hardy sun should i be using node.js lts or current?

i'm setting up my dedi lol

[hardy sun]

Always use the LTS releases, the "current" releases are for testing purposes only and sharing feedback to us so we can fix any present bugs

[icy quail]

whats good

[muted bobcat]

noice that's what i suspected yeah

i have v20.10.0

[hardy sun]

Very good

I also recommend using https://nvm.sh/ if you're not already

[muted bobcat]

when i installed using apt-get it gave me v12 though lol

[hardy sun]

Ubuntu and Debian repository maintainers haven't updated the Node.js releases in their repositories in years

For unknown reasons

[muted bobcat]

worse than me

[vivid leaf]

they're still waiting for node_modules to finish uploading /j

[hardy sun]

[ripe junco]

Making that giveaway on my phone took way longer than I'd like to admit

[urban bane]

ok

[gentle lake]

node should just make their own repository like everyone else

[urban bane]

ok

[muted bobcat]

Me: "wait black friday's at the end of november?"
Also me: "oh"

[urban bane]

ok

[ripe junco]

@urban bane stop spamming OK

[urban bane]

fine

@ripe juncoam not even spaming

[ripe junco]

Don't argue, just don't do it lmao

[agile echo]

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/zUdmq.png

also hi xiu

[hardy sun]

90% of all packages in said repositories are made by the maintainers of repositories themselves

The main reason we don't maintain the releases in Linux distributions' repositories is that, if we do it on one, users on every other Linux distribution will want it as well and since not every Linux distribution uses the same repositories this becomes hell to maintain and a lot of burden because each repository also has different processes and policies, basically different wait times, test cases, requirements, and so much more

[muted bobcat]

just continue using pm2? or k8s and docker? i've never used either of those before

i'll run my bot and multiple microservices on the same dedi

[ripe junco]

Hi miyu! Hru?

[austere pasture]

In y'all own opinion, what are the most Important features of a Discord bot?

[hardy sun]

That depends on what the Discord bot aims to be, most Discord bots are multi-purpose with shit ton of features that almost every other bot already has

[austere pasture]

I'm aiming for a Discord bot that has every feature that's out there and things that aren't out there rn

[hardy sun]

[vivid leaf]

that's as feasible as producing unobtainium

[austere pasture]

my bot is the only bot ppl need 🥱

[agile echo]

Your both is just like 99% of other bots which is multipurpose.

Not saying its not a bad thing to do, but your bot needs to stand out from the majority.

[quartz moss]

no no no no no my bot will be better than all the other multipurpose bots

[stuck spindle]

I believe in you

[quartz moss]

thanks love

[stuck spindle]

Your bot will be awesomer than every other bot

[quartz moss]

you're damn right it will be

it's gonna have an 8ball command

and a global live spy satellite command that will be able to view any location on earth live with 1mm precision

[stuck spindle]

That would be so cool

I love 8ball commands

I can’t wait

[quartz moss]

do you love global spy satellite commands

[stuck spindle]

Idk what that is

[quartz moss]

I JUST EXPLAINED IT!!!

[stuck spindle]

New phone who dis

[quartz moss]

maybe ill make a dummy mode for my bot,, bet you would appreciate that ...

[stuck spindle]

:(

I’m supporting you and this is how you repay me

[quartz moss]

you're right

[magic frigate]

[quartz moss]

i would like to offer one apology redeemable from now through 30/11/23

[stuck spindle]

I would like to redeem the apology

[quartz moss]

❗ An error occured

[stuck spindle]

wtf

Terrible coder

[quartz moss]

ok buddy calm it

im not the one forking mathematics cause I can't implement operator precedence ..... XDDD

[stuck spindle]

Get over it

You don’t gotta hate me just because I invented my own math branch and you didn’t

Jealousy won’t get you anywhere

Be more productive

[quartz moss]

your math branch is great until you go to solve a quadratic buddy

[stuck spindle]

Hater

This is why I am more successful

[crimson forge]

Wsg my fellow

[tawny shuttle]

so uhhh

[crimson forge]

Wow perfect

[tawny shuttle]

welp

[gentle lake]

you can use this reason to just do apt and nothing else

tldr too lazy

[quartz moss]

by what metric

[stuck spindle]

By every metric

[quartz moss]

wrong name even one

[hardy sun]

You mean we do it in the Ubuntu/Debian repositories and when other people want it, we say we're lazy?

[willow kelp]

[stuck spindle]

1- all of em

[tawny shuttle]

opera had to put a stick to what i was doing

[vivid leaf]

well, that's a host issue

[tawny shuttle]

not really

[vivid leaf]

5xx error

[tawny shuttle]

if the thing i was doing returns then its like uhh

their problem

i am quite sure they just deprecated the api i was using and replaced it with a newer version ofi t

because i was just using the apis their browser used in an intended way

70 dollars?

[vivid leaf]

imagine buying diablo 4

[tawny shuttle]

i mean i wont

(but like its still a pretty penny)

[vivid leaf]

yep, and the price doesn't justify the playtime you get

pretty much everyone I know who played during beta wants it back

[tawny shuttle]

i dont think i can even play it with the hardware i got

lemme check

[vivid leaf]

you like arpgs?

[tawny shuttle]

i sometimes try rpgs and get bored sometime

[vivid leaf]
