not that i'd be opposed to taking in a troubled kid or fostering
gaunt mesa
apparently ive got to have a kid otherwise my male line dies out
restive ether
it was Fort McClellan btw @pearl sail
restive ether
apparently ive got to have a kid otherwise my male line dies out
this is the same situation im in
well the only white one at least
gaunt mesa
wait im not 100% sure
restive ether
the other one is half asian
gaunt mesa
my dad had only sisters so hes the only one with the last name Tale
and im an only child
pearl sail
They don't talk about too much nowadays, but you now back when the war on terror initialed started. In 2008 - 2009 they started using depleted uranium rounds which got a lot of soldiers sick back then due to the exposure
restive ether
They don't talk about too much nowadays, but you now back when the war on terror...
why did anyone think that was a good idea
all you have to say is the word uranium
restive ether
so if i don't have a kid i think the Tale surname dies out?
yeah
half walrus
see my dad doesn't know his own father closely enough to give a shit about his last name
pearl sail
Cause it goes through anything
restive ether
if you’re naming scheme goes with traditional white people names
restive ether
like i know other religions, ethnicities and places do different things so
gaunt mesa
cuz the female usually takes the man's surname
half walrus
and my dad has too many kids anyways
restive ether
i don’t care about the name either
pearl sail
Any armor you have legit gets shredded by depleted uranium rounds
half walrus
no pressure here
restive ether
it’s a generic white people name thousands of other people have
gaunt mesa
restive ether
it’s of no concern to i
gaunt mesa
my dad would cut me out of his will if i killed off the name
restive ether
he doesn’t need to know
half walrus
and i talk extremely quietly
pearl sail
your name is fine
gaunt mesa
who
pearl sail
you ren
gaunt mesa
im not concerned about my name
but its just that if i don't have a kid i'll have killed off my surname
pearl sail
but its just that if i don't have a kid i'll have killed off my surname
Indian things
half walrus
he's gonna be dead when that happens
gaunt mesa
my dad and i are the only ones left in my family line with the last name Tale
cuz my grandpa and grandma on my dad's side have passed
and my dad's side grandpa only had sisters
half walrus
only name that matters is your own, and that's only if you do something to leave an impact on history
other than that i don't see how a surname has anything of value
gaunt mesa
ah well for an indian its different
pearl sail
It really is
gaunt mesa
on my mom's side her brother nearly killed off the name and my mom's side grandpa cut him out of the will and got really mad at him
half walrus
yeah i have a godawful relationship w/ both parents so my view's probably gonna be different
gaunt mesa
pearl sail
As an Indian I can confirm that our parent's really care about our legacy's
gaunt mesa
eh
they care about theirs
and that lives through within a surname
in their minds atleast
pearl sail
Well you know through us they live on
half walrus
if i get my way i won't even have one a year from now 
gaunt mesa
my parents will be disappointed to see that ive completely disavowed the culture
and i'll probably be raising my child like how a normal person would
not how a first gen immigrant would be raised
pearl sail
Me being a first gen understand what you mean
half walrus
and i'll probably be raising my child like how a normal person would
gen Z man
gaunt mesa
true
half walrus
we're all gonna be awful parents for sure
gaunt mesa
i just hate my parents setting expectations really high for me
its that immigrant mindset u know
half walrus
but at least a majority of gen z doesn't believe in pointless tradition as much
gaunt mesa
before i got US citizenship my mom had a talk and said "your life is gonna suck unless u get a US citizenship"
"canadian citizenship is worthless"
pearl sail
I have destroyed their expectations and all they wish for me now is to be normal
restive ether
that’s because your indian parents fell into conservative propaganda
half walrus
hoh lord i can flex on everyone here
gaunt mesa
my indian parents are liberal af
half walrus
see if you really really want to maximize disappointment
gaunt mesa
fym
half walrus
here's the trick:
gaunt mesa
we were active members of the liberal party du canada
restive ether
healthcare and all man
gaunt mesa
party liberal*
gaunt mesa
half walrus
score high on every test
restive ether
fair enough.
gaunt mesa
nice trick
pearl sail
Well imagine not going to college and then joining the military during conflict. Just to shit on your parents and then never being the same cause that shit was horrible.
gaunt mesa
go ahead
half walrus
yall moving too fast it gets better
restive ether
the northeast is the best part of the country be happy @gaunt mesa
gaunt mesa
@restive ether ironically these mfs are moving back to canada in 18 months
and in 18 months ill be in college
gaunt mesa
so it kinda works out
gaunt mesa
the northeast is the best part of the country be happy <@!700707501493977198>

half walrus
feel free to use me as a beautiful example of how numbers and test scores mean jack fucking shit
gaunt mesa
which IQ test
half walrus
whichever they put you through in the gifted programs
gaunt mesa
also i have a really high ACT score but my parents insisted on an SAT score
half walrus
I graduated high school with a 2.0 GPA

the minimum to graduate high school is a 2.0 gpa

i got a 36 too!

im under a lot of stress rn cuz of my GPA

and i'd be wasting my money attending anyways, I can't function whatsoever in schooling

i am surprised, since youre like, not white
nimble parcel
someone from my school got like an 80% average in hs grades but he had super good ap and act scores plus ECs and he got into Berkeley anyway
half walrus
what bothers me so much is
gaunt mesa
bruh
nimble parcel
i am surprised, since youre like, not white
it’s even harder for indians lmao
restive ether
affirmative action is something else man
gaunt mesa
i want to go back to toronto
restive ether
it should be pretty favorable as a minority?
half walrus
since i was supposed to be incredibly smart, I got far more attention and resources directed at me
restive ether
ah
nimble parcel
it should be pretty favorable as a minority?
believe me we’re not a minority in US colleges
restive ether
i didn’t think of that
half walrus
instead of the kids that needed it
gaunt mesa
because indians are like a plague now
cc @nimble parcel say its true
half walrus
or the ones that had a chance and were fuckin trying their asses off
gaunt mesa
i mean
that's usually how it is
they only care about the people with the most potential
half walrus
it's so unfair to them
gaunt mesa
so when u attend a magnet school u feel like an idiot cuz everyone is smart
nimble parcel
> because indians are like a plague now
cc <@!169409038260371457> say its true
it pretty much is but saying that out loud might just get you cancelled
half walrus
I literally went to school high every single day for a year
pearl sail
Most colleges rolled back to Affirmative action in the name of diversity not surprise you weren't accepted Kabir
gaunt mesa
it pretty much is but saying that out loud might just get you cancelled
true, but that doesn't make it any less false
tepid olive
hey guys
half walrus
and i passed bc of a genetic lottery and teachers who either didn't care or favoritized me bc "i have the knowledge"
tepid olive
Can someone help me make a tweak which shows a popup when status bar is tapped
someone said thats a tweak
but i want to make it
I am on ios 14.2
so no theos
half walrus
and the kids who actually tried, and failed, dropped out, got GEDs, and are gonna die in this shit town
tepid olive
and i am on windows with dual-booted linux (ubuntu)
half walrus
so depressing especially since a lot of kids like that were good friends
tepid olive

gaunt mesa
@tepid olive ngl ur not gonna be getting much help at 3-4am
restive ether
lol
tepid olive
sorry it's 9:37 am for me
gaunt mesa
if u want actual help just pop by again later in the morning
restive ether
dgh0st isn’t here to help you
gaunt mesa
sorry bout that most of us are in north america
restive ether
it think most of gen z has ASPD
half walrus
it's just home to me
gaunt mesa
ASPD?
half walrus
google can explain it better
restive ether
anti social personality disorder
half walrus
sociopathy
restive ether
yeah
half walrus
it think most of gen z has ASPD
most of gen z is antisocial
which isn't really as much the same
you remember me when i went by calico right
restive ether
yes
gaunt mesa
restive ether
i tested pagebar for you
which is kinda how i figured out you were you when
because you picked it up as krit
half walrus
and all of the drama shit with staff here
restive ether
i have been filled in more or less
half walrus
and how just horrible and manipulative of a person i was at that point
pearl sail
Sociopaths are very good at manipulating people around them
restive ether
yeah more or less
half walrus
had a complete pattern of doing that too
go somewhere, get deeply involved, and then just start shit to watch it unfold
restive ether
i remember the reddit post quite well
restive ether
krit is fine, i’m sure you can
half walrus
yeah you can, just don't publish it the next time around
restive ether
krit even admitted who they are and no one cares or knows still
half walrus
a few do lol
gaunt mesa
yeah you can, just don't publish it the next time around
yeah but its really hard to do that
ill have to talk completely differently
half walrus
nah
restive ether
a few do lol
yeah but no one who matters or cares
gaunt mesa
also no nitro on that discord account
half walrus
yeah but no one who matters or cares
it's the reason i'm banned from r/jb
nobody actually believes i'm castyte
restive ether
just saying i’ve actively fought for that
half walrus
that's beyond absurd
gaunt mesa
@half walrus my concern is if i start fresh it'll be hard to get used to doing stuff along again
half walrus
as it stands i think it was a genuine misunderstanding by them
restive ether
i even said there’s 0 chance and there’s some reddit admin mixup
gaunt mesa
because rn i have a lot of people i can chat with
half walrus
however the reason i get 0 benefit of the doubt here is because of that old stuff and that's understandable
pearl sail
castyte was fine in the beginning then turned into a complete garbage of a human being
restive ether
i remember when people thought you were nep
half walrus
i remember when people thought you were nep
extremely intentional
restive ether
which was when i was like genius going into mod
and i said there’s absolutely no way
the personalities are polar opposite
it’s just not possible
pearl sail
krit acts way too normal to be nep
gaunt mesa
nep is bat shit crazy
half walrus
it was meant to appear so to people who did a minimal amount of digging, but immediately be disproven upon talking to me
gaunt mesa

rev is a banned topic in this chat
half walrus

most people don't just miraculously become a good person in 5 months so i expect absolutely no favors from staff here or on r/jb
half walrus
krit acts way too normal to be nep
'normal'
pearl sail
If you ever want to know about Rev ask Hayden, Emy, massive, and jules about Rev's private server
restive ether
anything not nep is normal in comparison
restive ether
If you ever want to know about Rev ask Hayden, Emy, massive, and jules about Rev...
i was there too btw
restive ether
about rev?
pearl sail
Well then you know @restive ether how much of a mess that server was
restive ether
he just became more of a dick head and power tripped
half walrus
not enough to seek it out bc i was never a big fan of them
gaunt mesa
oh no
restive ether
he was wielding that bot access to hard
half walrus
one of those people who gets influential in the community despite contributing literally nothing to them
half walrus
/ well known
pearl sail
I forgot jamie was in that server as well
half walrus
oh definitely, but this is where most devt discussion goes on related to jailbreak
only other place i can think of is the lounge slack
gaunt mesa
which slack
restive ether
yeah but no one gate keeps the dev channels
aaron prefers us to stay away from them lol
the slack is dead btw
half walrus
which slack
restive ether
the staff one
gaunt mesa
i personally think slack is better than discord for dev
restive ether
yeah slack became unsustainable or something
half walrus
yknow what I think is such a beautiful illustration of just how mentally ill i was when i went by calico
pearl sail
restive ether
lead developer of leviathan industries
half walrus
i actually don't know whether the thing they said I did w/ leaking to that one guy was made up or not
gaunt mesa
yikes
half walrus
latter
restive ether
f
restive ether
i don’t know the full deal, i just know what i saw with the reddit post
half walrus
i was sick then
half walrus
and it doesn't make sense for all of the staff to stick by it despite me being on good terms with a few now
pearl sail
All I know is it involved 23Aaron
half walrus
so i wonder if it was just, me being so detached from reality that I genuinely believed myself
half walrus
w/ me?
restive ether
something something moderator nominations leaked
something something sometbing
i think, it’s been a long time
half walrus
so here's what i put together from their story
someone was leaking stuff from the slack
their story didn't actually line up so now i'm incredibly confused
pearl sail
I can tell some parts if you want
half walrus
but the basic details are that a mod nominee was having shit talked about him in the channel and apparently i leaked it to them
gaunt mesa
oh he was?
half walrus
i was a 'developer' mod
restive ether
yeah
half walrus
in charge of bot/css stuff
restive ether
bot mod
gaunt mesa
how do i never know these things
half walrus
since i did
half walrus
restive ether
@half walrus its now unofficially your fault the server got nuked
half walrus
some funny stuff; I didn't recognize the guy who came forward and said I leaked to him
restive ether
if you didn’t get kicked off alex wouldn’t have been able to do it 
restive ether
this is true
pearl sail
lmao
half walrus
the mods at one point mentioned that they'd set up a trap for me by moving everyone but me in a separate channel and seeing if info leaked when everyone else knew not to
doesn't line up with the guy coming forward tho
restive ether
i don’t see why both parties would agree on it though if it didn’t line up
half walrus
the guy went public on his own and didn't mention anything of the sort afaik, his story was different
half walrus
i remember the trap thing because i remember someone in the comments of the response-from-the-mods post saying that it was ridiculous
restive ether
sub mods could be completely lying for all i know, i have no access to any of that stuff
i would find it odd some random would target you though
half walrus
and i remember thinking the user who said i leaked to him was protecting his identity because I didn't recognize them whatsoever
half walrus
i had just never seen that name before
restive ether
was the account an active one at the time?
half walrus
can't remember
restive ether
i can’t even find the post because i have a bug with apollo search
if i use filters it doesn’t work
and i don’t feel like removing the subreddit from it
half walrus
Just as a fun bit of info that I think tied it all together; Shortly before all of that happened, I'd gotten into an argument with almost the entire staff discord
restive ether
about
half walrus
bc they were discussing taking screenshots of nepeta out of context from her server and other places and using it to get her banned from discord entirely
restive ether
i would like to think this is not true, but knowing how people are i can not discredit it
gaunt mesa
half walrus
and she was the one who helped me learn objc basics, so I was almost on my own, although a few people kinda stepped on my side of it by the end of it
half walrus
i would like to think this is not true, but knowing how people are i can not dis...
I remember talking about it with nep; have the screenshots but original ban from this discord was for posting one here when asked (by the mod who banned me lmao)
half walrus
and she later got messaged by a friend who works at discord about the thing they filed
grizzled path
Hi. I would like to edit the language files on iPhone, so as to have a custom language so to speak. I don't know if this is the right address, does sb know how I would go about this?
restive ether
I remember talking about it with nep; have the screenshots but original ban from...
on a personal level i wouldn’t have done that
half walrus
it was a heated conversation between me and an admin here
restive ether
people hate moderators enough i don’t like making it worse
half walrus
they kept saying 'then post proof i said that'
restive ether
lol, that’s kinda funny though
half walrus
i wasn't surprised i got banned but what a way to do it lol
restive ether
except the ban part that wasn’t funny
half walrus
most of the reddit mods are ok
restive ether
i ive only talked to like two of the sub mods on the long term
half walrus
don't mind PJ holding a grudge, how he treated aspen is disgusting, though
restive ether
lucifer and pj
half walrus
and calling me autistic was low
restive ether
i’ve talked to adam but it was for a moment so i could get an account on the dev wiki
half walrus
when i'm confronting him about how he treated an autistic person of all things
grizzled path
thats low yea
restive ether
cause i needed to fix some stuff about odyssey on there
restive ether
don't mind PJ holding a grudge, how he treated aspen is disgusting, though
i did say tbis wasn’t the best way to handle things
oh also i’ve talked to smokin a lot
probably more than any of the others
half walrus
adam is fine
had some convos with him, some more heated than others, but he's reasonable
half walrus
do not understand why pj is still a mod though
half walrus
man has that tenure or something
restive ether
i don’t even think just cool is in this server
oh i forgot about hipp0 he’s here a lot too
is PJ the long serving mod
inforget
it’s either him or adam
half walrus
it'd have to be adam bc he's an admin on the iphone wiki isn't he
yeah
pj came on after exjr/hipp/aaron/fatty
adam was the first after saurik
restive ether
forgot how long adam has been around lol
half walrus
i remember from reading modlogs though, its a safe estimate 90-95% of moderation actions on r/jb are by PJ
half walrus
no
restive ether
i honestly think people overstate it
like it’s really not that hard to do what he does
AM takes care of most of it
half walrus
it makes sense once you have to deal with him once
fits the stereotype of the type of person to browse a single subreddit for the entire day
not an excuse really
restive ether
lol that’s why i wish never to moderate a subreddit
half walrus
i think that's more a symptom than a cause
restive ether
i couldn’t handle it
half walrus
he just gets off on feeling like he's in a position of power
restive ether
@half walrus i think a lot of it is how emotions transfer from italian to english
half walrus
it's why he goes out of his way to find out people's real names
restive ether
that’s just how i always saw it
well, uh
idk about that part
i am not familiar with tbat
half walrus
and then uses them whenever they get into an argument knowing they actively try to avoid putting that info out
restive ether
i honestly thought it was pretty hard to get perm banned on the sub
i was a dick and never got banned
still am sometimes
pearl sail
restive ether
i feel that
half walrus
I thought it was just a thing specific to me, but he did it to NSExceptional as well apparently
restive ether
i have no clue what tanner’s grudge is with the subreddit
but he removed join crane as a mod from his sub
so good on him
half walrus
and someone on the slack mentioned he has a habit of doing that
restive ether
half walrus
wtf krit name leak
probably getting it legally changed soon so 
grim sparrow
hate my birth name so much lmao
I feel this too much
I also hate the gender I was assigned at birth so there’s that too
half walrus
gang
half walrus
I also hate the gender I was assigned at birth so there’s that too
best part is when you feel the need to keep it on the dl because you can’t start making a visible effort towards it yet

I don’t have confusion personally

the whole identity topic of people who divert from their gender at birth

grim sparrow
My parents would argue differently 
tardy narwhal
yeah but does it matter if they disagree with your perception of yourself?
grim sparrow
Kinda
half walrus
@tardy narwhal there’s a good amount of people here who it’s probably safe to say have no support network nor anything close
grim sparrow
It’s hard to feel accepted if the people who you live with don’t accept you
faint timber
Fuck em
half walrus
and a lot of these people may feel a bit more comfortable places like here
tardy narwhal
if it matters then you simply don’t know yourself enough to make a qualified statement or lack faith. Explore yourself and believe

not everyone works like that though.
grim sparrow

It’s not that simple
tardy narwhal
It really is once you put aside your fear of rejections, no one in this damn world cares about anyone. It’s just society’s ruleset pressured onto us, if you wanna divert thats cool, you’ll naturally have haters because that’s just how it works. Standing above them is a choice, not an option

however i've found the self hatred is the part nobody really gets till you've been there
grim sparrow
I was told yesterday that I couldn’t be legally gay until I’m 16, so there’s that
My step dad is just a cunt
tardy narwhal
lmao that’s dumb
half walrus
bc it's become a lot more clear to me how so many others cant mentally handle it
grim sparrow
Yep
I’m sat there in utter confusion
“You’re turning 16 soon, which means you can legally be gay”
tardy narwhal
old people man, failing to adapt
grim sparrow
That’s the quote
faint timber
I live in the most liberal area other than San Francisco
half walrus
god the worst part is, living here, the brainwash shit starts to get to you sometimes
and i have to catch myself about to say something and remind myself i'm likely part of the group i'm discussing
tardy narwhal

there should be an asterisk to that quote lmao

you'd go to church and listen to the preacher and think it's a religion all about love

its actually hilarious; they can twist some scripture to make being gay a sin

rebranding didn’t help llama because he got exposed like two-three days later, if you cannot pull off changing your id then you gotta go and improve yourself man. external recognition isn’t it what these youngsters need, it’s finding themselves

I get a weird urge to make conversation sometimes, it's like I barely think before I do it, and then after it's like wait why did I do that
it feels so unnatural
because I absolutely fucking hate smalltalk

I'm the opposite I never get urges to make conversation lol

idk how this seems like such an absurd concept

the friend i'm moving near in january; like absolutely then there's a reason for me to talk of course

don't take this like I'm saying "just don't be depressed then lmao" but sometimes just doing it and doing it over and over will make it feel as normal as it "should" be
half walrus
i mean it's not like I mind or i don't talk a shit ton when hanging out with them lol
lime pivot
just advice that's really helped me a ton from my personal issues
tardy narwhal
it’s true though, people need to allow good things to happen
half walrus
could just not do that for, 6 or 7 months and be ok
lime pivot
I still suck dick at making conversation
half walrus
and that's never at any point interfered with my life in a negative way
lime pivot
but I'll at least try to pretend to be a functioning fellow human
half walrus
couple of my closest friends liked me at first bc i shut up and listen

same
lime pivot
but damn the two times we went into covid lockdown, not being around people I can have a more natural conversation with destroyed me
half walrus
see that's something like
i've never understood w/ people
like a majority of people have to have that social interaction to stay content with life
and ppl like mass1ve actively seek it out
it's not something i even thought about much before
tepid olive
lime pivot
put it another way, if all of us here right now were people you knew from school, and you know what our interests are etc, would you actively try to see them often?
ignoring covid obv

That reminds me; when I was interviewing for my internship I had so much fun just talking about my stuff and talking to people who knew what I was talking about and could actually ask questions instead of just nodding and saying yes
the first couple mins I was super nervous and then for the entire hour after it was so fun
tardy narwhal
that’s wholesome
interviewer who take interesting in the person is just an amazing feeling
lime pivot
put it another way, if all of us here right now were people you knew from school...
I can't pretend to understand how your brain ticks obvs, but like, I could see it being just that there aren't likeminded people around you
wouldn't it be so cool if you could just like yell out to me about the latest sick thing you're doing and I actually listen and ask questions
instead of uh huh um that sounds cool whatever that is
tepid olive

not at all whatsoever lol
nothing against you guys just

idk why it'd be necessary? i guess
tardy narwhal
that would technically classify you as anti-social, but then again it’s unclear to me why you lack the desire for human contact
