If you cant entertain your kid without electronics then you failed as a human

[frail flint]

do they even make leap frog anymore ??

[sick bison]

my parents only bought us a SHARED Gameboy SP as a distraction from their awful divorce

[icy trout]

leap frog is amazing

[sick bison]

I think I was like 11

[naive current]

It's called outside exploring the world, learning everything there is to know

[desert wharf]

My grandparents bought my family a gamecube to get on my terrible father's nerves

[sick bison]

I loved reading as a kid, I still do

[frail flint]

my sister had a leap frog but i liked using it even tho i was too old for it

[latent gate]

if i have kids, i might deny them electronics

[sick bison]

I got my first gamecube when I was...12 I think

3 years after it came out

[icy trout]

why explore when there is leap frog

[desert wharf]

Books are the best

[latent gate]

i don't want them to make the same mistakes i did. lol

[sick bison]

I read mostly educational articles now because I love learning, I have a hard time getting into and enjoying fantasy literature like I did as a kid

but yeah I always had my nose in a book

[desert wharf]

Depending on where you live, middle school is probably when Id give a kid a phone

[sick bison]

to the point where my teachers would confiscate them because I would read under my desk instead of paying attention

[desert wharf]

Some places are shady

[latent gate]

ok, they get 1 flip phone

[naive current]

I didn't get a phone till I was 16

[sick bison]

yeah my 12 year old niece and nephew just entered 6th grade and their parents gave them their hand-me-down iPhone 6's

[frail flint]

i got my first phone at 13 but it was a tracphone, only had calling minutes and was meant just for my parents which i think is fair

[sick bison]

I got my first crappy flip LG phone when I was 14

and my mom made me pay for it out of my birthday and Christmas money

[desert wharf]

Ive never got a book confiscated but ive definitely went whole school days withojt learning anything because of a book

I know i was just complaining about this, but i got a phone when i was 9, my parents didnt even give it to me, i just took it (it was a hand-me-down being unused)

there was a lot of drama in my family during that time, which is probably why nobody stopped me

[sick bison]

a lot of my electronics were bought and given post-divorce when parental guilt was at an all-time high

for example...dad acquired us a Wii for Christmas when it was first released. mom got jealous and bought us a Wii for HER house next Christmas. it became sport between my parents

but we weren't allowed to take electronics or games between houses. real fun

[desert wharf]

My mom never had divorce guilt, well she probably did, but the divorce was necessary, my biological father was narrsasistic (i think i spelled that wrong, sorry) and the divorce with my stepfather was also necessary for other reasons

And now my family has had enough with fathers

I guess the only good thing to come from terrible fathers is showing me how not to act

It gives me no end of determination to be a good father (if i ever marry :-( )

[sick bison]

both of my parents are varying degrees of NPD, dad more so. divorce was necessary, not sure if what I perceive to be "parental guilt" was anything more than a pissing contest between the two of them, but I'll take it

[verbal wharf]

We went from toddlers spreading germs to their parents/caregivers to divorce guilt

What a wild ride

[sonic holly]

idk shit about this convo but i saw cheeseys message and thought this was apt

[crude mason]

Who's cat?

[eternal ermine]

my cat

she was bein a scratchy cat then attacked my face

[crude mason]

Did you tell your cat that she's naughty?

[eternal ermine]

she ran away under a bed before i had a chance

[crude mason]

I wouldn't talk to her the rest of the day.

[cyan halo]

@gaunt sierra- Sorry I missed you!

[blazing pumice]

cinnamon wheel...

sounds amazing

[gaunt sierra]

@crude mason Mind telling me which ones are already in the server?

[crude mason]

Dyno & Carl are the two main. The bot we have that does roles has moderation & the bot we have for friend codes does moderation.

[gaunt sierra]

This one was specifically good at keeping track of user's info. We mostly used it for handling bans/kicks/mutes/warns. We had a punishment scalation System. Here is how it worked. The first 3 logs were simply verbal warnings to not do whatever they did again. The logs were basically what determined their future punishments for continuous bad behavior. After 3 logs, mutes were in place for 4th to 6th log, temporary bans from 7 to 9th. After that a perma ban would be on the table. Of course, this system was flexible, and allowed for minor misconduct to not be counted/lesser punishment. After x amount of time without any misbehavings a set amount of logs would be cleared, so there was incentive for the person in question to behave well. The bot would also automatically unban/unmute the user after the time the moderator set on their log.

For example if I did: +mute 325190263842537472 3d Bad conduct.

The bot would unmute the user exactly 3 days from the time the mute was put in place. So, in case the server gets too many people who may be problematic, that's an option. It may or may not happen once the game releases and this place is absolute flooded with new users. The bot can also do other things that most moderation bots may already have. Here are some examples.

I'm pretty sure Dyno already has some of those utility commands as well. Elemental is an all around administrative bot. If you are interested in it.

The giveaway feature comes with a sub to the bot. But thankfully the dev of the bot actually provides a groundwork for how it works. So you guys might be able to integrate it into the custom bot.

[crude mason]

Thank you so much for typing all this out. Dyno's very unreliable as he goes down a lot.

[lost sparrow]

I know of Clinet because I know the dev. It's not that big of a bot, somewhat rough around the edges, but the dev does what he can next to his side projects and school

He also works on an Android custom ROM

[verbal wharf]

@sonic holly guess who just did the egg hunt and won 😛

@icy trout- Your birthday is today?

[icy trout]

So true though

Tomorrow but everyone said happy birthday and I didn’t have the heart to say it.

Please don’t ban

🤣

[crude mason]

It's okay. I didn't think it was today & didn't want to miss. It's the thought that counts.

[icy trout]

Yes it really is. I appreciate everyone who said it. I feel so loved.

[bronze swallow]

happy birthday!!!!!!!! you're so sweet and funny and i hope u had a good day

[lost sparrow]

@icy trout happy birthday as here it's tomorrow

[blazing pumice]

what does someone do when theyre intensely down in the dumps

severely

[crude mason]

I distract my mind.

Like, I'll watch a funny television show.

Or funny YouTube videos.

[blazing pumice]

youtube doesnt give me that dopamine anymore

[icy trout]

Exercise!

Release those endorphins

[crude mason]

Find a new mobile game to play because Pocket Camp is depression.

[frail flint]

looool

[blazing pumice]

good idea i gotta work on my push ups

[frail flint]

tru

[latent gate]

going outside on a nice walk or jog is good too!!

[distant sierra]

everyone talk about education here

[timid dawn]

My dad got payed to go to university

And we are english

[icy trout]

It depends on the degree.

[blazing pumice]

the people in this town give me the creeps

so i wont be jogging

[icy trout]

Military often pay for talented individuals in return for service afterwards, up until a couple of years ago the NHS would fund certain degrees.

[timid dawn]

Idek what degree my dad did

But he got payed to go there because at the time not many people were going to university or soemthing

I wish I got payed to go to uni

But I’m still in sixth form

[icy trout]

The issue is universities now offer degrees that can be provided by lesser educational institutions or online - Such as Adult Care, Photography etc

[frail flint]

i'll jog with u soda

[icy trout]

More degrees = less worth per degree

[timid dawn]

Ohhhhhh

[icy trout]

When places like McDonald’s are requiring a degree for a shift manager, you can begin to understand how low the worth of a degree has dropped

[distant sierra]

me marley and soda jogging session soon

[frail flint]

where they doin that

[icy trout]

Lots of places

[timid dawn]

Is that true?? McDonald’s shift manager requires a degree?

[frail flint]

cause anyone can move up to management

no

its not required here

[timid dawn]

Bruh should I even go to university at this point

[frail flint]

my friend is a manager there and never did schooling past high school

[icy trout]

I believe at this point it’s a ‘want’ for a trainee manager, but most have bachelors.

According to surveys anyway.

It depends on your degree choice Frankie.

[timid dawn]

Primary education

Is what I want to do

[icy trout]

Vocational degrees are the safe option.

Teaching is a vocational degree, it’s a guaranteed skill and job at the end.

[timid dawn]

Oh so it’s good to have that degree then

Ik I need a degree to become a teacher

So I’m gonna work hard

[icy trout]

You do. Or you can do a undergrad degree in a specific subject and then do a years PGCE to get your teaching qualification

[timid dawn]

Ngl

I need to read up on it

[icy trout]

Certainly, it’s a big leap!

It’s what my sister did. She did a bachelors in Biology, then a PGCE so she could work as a biology teacher to fund her medicine degree.

[timid dawn]

All my teachers tell me that university is so much easier than sixth form

[frail flint]

they have a test here u can pay to take to become like a teacher's aide, and while ur doing that, the school/program will help pay for ur schooling to become a teacher

[icy trout]

Potentially.

[frail flint]

which is what i wanna do

[icy trout]

Is that the UK?

[frail flint]

i'm in the states

[distant sierra]

there are so many words in this channel

[icy trout]

Ah I see.

In the UK it’s a degree to be a teacher, I’d actually argue a teaching apprenticeship would be far more beneficial.

[frail flint]

teaching in my state is awful tho

[icy trout]

But I suppose a PGCE is very much like an apprenticeship since you spend most of the year in a school.

[timid dawn]

An apprenticeship is where you get qualifications through experience right?

[icy trout]

It’s a hands on qualification, essentially.

Usually for trade skill work - Plumbing, building etc

But many more things are offering apprenticeships now.

[frail flint]

yeah, it kinda just helps u get ur bachelor or whatever u need

[timid dawn]

Oh I don’t wanna do physical labour work

[icy trout]

What are you taking for A levels Frankie?

[frail flint]

it's like an extra step into it, u can do three/four years in college orrr do this + move on from there

[timid dawn]

Psychology, English literature and health and social care BTEC

[icy trout]

A good selection to go into teaching then.

[timid dawn]

Yeah I thought so that’s why I chose them

[icy trout]

You could do a bachelors in English Literature and then do a PGCE and then you’d have the toolkit to teach English to children up to college level

[timid dawn]

Oh I really don’t want to do any more related to English literature

After sixth form

It depresses me

[icy trout]

Fair enough!

[timid dawn]

Studying Othello, Christina Rossetti poetry and never let me go

Is not it

[twin bay]

Haha

[floral hemlock]

That's like comics made by aliens.

[verbal wharf]

Please let me take the sign out of that lady’s garden I need it

[crude mason]

Are you playing the game?

[verbal wharf]

Yes

It’s very fun

[crude mason]

So how are you going to take the sign out.

[verbal wharf]

You can’t : (

I’ve tried

It doesn’t fit through the hole in her fence

And its too heavy to pull into the old man’s yard

[crude mason]

What are you going to do?

[frail flint]

goose game is so fun

[verbal wharf]

Nothing lol

There’s nothing to do

[thin ember]

how many hours have u guys put it on it

depending on ur answer i might cop

[hot wagon]

you can prob finish in like 5 hrs lol

[verbal wharf]

Yeah it’s not long

[thin ember]

damn 😦

[honest sierra]

I'm stuck on goose game, can't get to the pub 😩

[verbal wharf]

Get in the box

Or untie the bouncers shoes and then run under the deck

But the box is easier

[honest sierra]

Box where what

[verbal wharf]

By the truck

Outside the pub to the right

[honest sierra]

Now how do I get to this truck

Honestly ive just been running about like a muppet and swimming

[verbal wharf]

Mood

[honest sierra]

I'll give it a go tomorrow I'm useless at it

Needed walkthroughs

[verbal wharf]

You just get in the box and wait for the chef to pick you up

[honest sierra]

I'll try to find this box 😂 it's 4am so I darent pick up the Switch now

[verbal wharf]

It’s just to the right of the pub you’ll find it easy peasy

[honest sierra]

Okeydoke thank you 👌🏻 I'm shite at being a goose evidently6

[latent gate]

goose game made me feel dumb in the first 10 minutes

i couldn't figure out how to get the groundskeeper to wear his sun hat

i'll pick it up again later

[frail flint]

LOL

i skipped that and went to bully the kid

[verbal wharf]

I picked it up easily

I was meant to be a goose

Scaring the kid is my fav

I kept herding him into the phone booth lol

[hot wagon]

same cheesey

i love bullying

i guess

LOL

[verbal wharf]

LOL

We were meant to harass people

[sonic holly]

honk

[frail flint]

i got everything but the hat and i was like

ok whatever

[verbal wharf]

You just have to steal his current hat

And run away with it

[frail flint]

i know what to do, just haven't been fast enough yet ):

[worthy ivy]

??

[frail flint]

goose game

[worthy ivy]

OH

lol

[frail flint]

[verbal wharf]

Make him hit his hand with the hammer

He stays down longer

[hot wagon]

mhm

then snatch

[verbal wharf]

Run around to the well or market

rather than the lake too

It’s shorter

[frail flint]

ooo good idea

[icy trout]

Oh my god. I picked the right Pokémon. Shield all the way for galarian ponyta

[lost sparrow]

Kawaii

[icy trout]

I know Céli. It’s too cute

[icy trout]

I’ll trade with anyone if I can get the leek bird

[crude mason]

[sonic holly]

I love sir fetch’d

Smug boy

[icy trout]

Are you rich?

[lost sparrow]

No

[icy trout]

good for you.

[sonic holly]

i usually get them both too

but i wont this time XD

[icy trout]

On the road again

[lost sparrow]

@sonic holly I did it for the first time this time

[golden berry]

My cousin is making me get sheild bc he's getting sword

[crude mason]

Mine was Contra. I shouldn't even have been playing it at my age.

[timid dawn]

Mine was pokemon soul silver

I couldn’t beat the flying type gym so I sold it

[vestal nacelle]

is this a show yourself place?

just wonddering

[compact pewter]

Mine was literally ac population growing cuz I didn’t know how to the requests

I think both campgrounds are

[crude mason]

@vestal nacelle- You can if you wish. No pressure.

[timid dawn]

Brea

Check #acnh-chat⛱️

A good idea there

[blazing pumice]

red cream soda is my number 1 favorite

like Big Red

[distant sierra]

the real answer is that only water is good for you and you should only drink water

[blazing pumice]

waters boring and not sugary fizzy

[distant sierra]

yes and because of that it gives you clear skin and not diabetes

[blazing pumice]

i do need to get back to drinking more water

im limiting myself to only having sods at work and when we go out to eat

soda

i work at a soda fountain and our waters gross so i drink the sodas

[distant sierra]

bring your own water fool

[blazing pumice]

i do but then i drink it all

I LEFT MY WATER IN THE WORK FRIDGE

AHHHHHH

IT WAS SO GOOD AND COLD TOO

FUCK

that's so cute omg

[sick bison]

my bf and I splurged on a Dyson air purifier/space heater/fan for fall/winter/fire season (CA's power companies are preemptively turning off power this week and into the weekend to prepare for a Santa Ana wind forecast) and my cats have been fighting the fucking thing

they would rather play with trash and a $500 fan than ACTUAL CAT TOYS

[compact pewter]

Cat logic 333

[sick bison]

they love twist ties, my bf will bring home extra-long ones from work and it's like Christmas every time

[verbal wharf]

My cat hates hair ties except the plastic spiral ones

He goes insane for them

Cats either like the cheapest or most expensive things

[blazing pumice]

[icy trout]

[crude mason]

@icy trout- How was your birthday?

[icy trout]

It was so good, Brea. Thanks for asking. I ate strawberry cake that my bf made for me and then sleep time.

Also someone bought me an animal crossing case even though I have a pink one

How was your day?

[crude mason]

Aww! That's really cute!

What's your pink one look like?

My day was okay. Worked, did laundry, called my mom, and now here.

[icy trout]

It’s the one with the sakura flowers on it.

[crude mason]

Ooh. Yeah.

I remember.

[icy trout]

That sounds good! I’m happy it was okay

I’m torn now because I have two cases

[crude mason]

Use the new one for awhile to try it out.

[icy trout]

Good idea! And I’ll use the animal crossing one when NH comes out

Just to match

🍰

[proud condor]

Wait

Zoey is Pronounced Zoe E like Joey is Joe E

I don’t get that picture

[blazing pumice]

Joe is prnounced 'joh'

but zoe is not pronounced 'zoh'

[proud condor]

What

How do you pronounce Zoe then?

My friend Zoe says her name like Zoh though

[blazing pumice]

zoe's a cursed spelling anyway

[verbal wharf]

Zoe is a common spelling what

It’s literally the OG spelling

And the name is OLD

[crude mason]

@limber dock- Oh, I invited you! I'm so sorry I forgot! Please excuse me; I'm not much of a morning person.

[limber dock]

Haha it's no problem! It was a while back and I forgot for a while too while I was busy with work 🙂

that's too many "while"s in a sentence but you get me

[crude mason]

Did you end up getting the gold rod?

[limber dock]

No, I think I'll be fine without it

Need to save them leaf tickets

[crude mason]

I think you will, too. Just fish as many rotations as you can.

[limber dock]

Yep! I've been told 5-6 a day is more than enough

That reminds me, need to take a break and get this rotation done

[crude mason]

Good luck!

[limber dock]

Thanks! Got a double green one 😄

[slim fern]

is anyone here experienced with uk university applications and such?

[golden berry]

i recently signed up for ucas if that helps

[timid dawn]

I couod ez cut squash out

[icy trout]

There you go @timid dawn a small and sustainable change

[timid dawn]

I’m gonna ask my mum to get strawberries

And make water with them

[icy trout]

You’ll see a massive benefit

[timid dawn]

I have a love island water bottle so I can make fruity water

[icy trout]

Make sure you cut them up

You only need a couple.

[timid dawn]

Yeah

Does it taste strongly?

[icy trout]

Nope, very faint.

[timid dawn]

Oh

Better than plain water

I absolutely hate plain water

[icy trout]

I find it very refreshing, I often put some mint in with it for a bit more kick.

[timid dawn]

Ooh that could be nice

My fave fruit is pomegranate

[icy trout]

Basically a Mojito without the sugar and rum

[timid dawn]

But idk if that would work in water

[crude mason]

Water will help you feel full.

[icy trout]

Yup!

[crude mason]

Force yourself to drink water.

[icy trout]

It also protects your organs, improves muscle size, protects your kidneys and increases your metabolism!

[crude mason]

Yeah. Sleep & water are essential to diets.

[distant sierra]

water is all i will ever drink, minus fruit smoothies

[icy trout]

An average person should be drinking 2 litres (8 pints a day) if you’re active you need to be replacing what you lose via sweat

[crude mason]

Yeah. I only ever drink water. And then alcohol when I'm trying to get down.

Sometimes I drink milk.

[distant sierra]

okay alcohol too

milk too

[icy trout]

A good measure I say for working out is a bottle before, a bottle during and a bottle after

[distant sierra]

basically just not soda

lol

[crude mason]

Yeah. I can't do sugary drinks.

[zinc inlet]

Malk is good

[icy trout]

That’s what you want to avoid. Fizzy pop and squash.

[distant sierra]

squash is so faux healthy

[icy trout]

Milk is good, it lines your gut and is a slow releasing calcium and protein source.

[crude mason]

What drink is squash?

[distant sierra]

pure fruit juice or smoothie 100%

[timid dawn]

Squash I like

Idk what it’s called in America

[distant sierra]

the kind of stuff you dilute with water brea

[icy trout]

Semi skimmed and skimmed actually contains more nutrients than full fat milk!

[timid dawn]

You put a bit in your glass then dilute it

Yh

[icy trout]

Also a good tip is to avoid white wheat, go for brown or mixed!

Far better for you, fibrous!

[distant sierra]

yeb with you on that

also it tastes way better imo

[crude mason]

And white bread. Don't eat white bread.

[icy trout]

Yeah white bread comes from white wheat

[crude mason]

Oh. You said wheat.

I read meat.

I'm...

Embarrassed.

Bye forever.

[icy trout]

Definitely don’t avoid white meat

Eat white meat!

[distant sierra]

easy mistake to make, being that beautiful must take up a lot of brain power brea

[timid dawn]

And I oop

[crude mason]

It does. Being pretty is a full-time job.

[timid dawn]

I got fired from that job

[crude mason]

[zinc inlet]

Squash in America is squash

[icy trout]

Well I wouldn’t say brown rice or wheat is actually better for you. It just doesn’t give you a crash as much.

[crude mason]

I've never heard of "Squash" as a drink.

[zinc inlet]

I thought the food

[icy trout]

It depends on what you eat with white rice or pasta that determines if it’s unhealthy

[timid dawn]

I like white rice and salmon lol

Not sure if that’s good for you but

[white tartan]

salmon's pretty good

not sure about white rice

[icy trout]

White rice has a high Glycemic index which is not good if you want to stay awake. It spikes your blood sugar. But when you fry rice or add other foods to it, it lowers the glycemic index and doesn’t give you the crash. If you think about places like Japan and China they eat white rice often. And they are still super slim.

[lost sparrow]

Rice also got like: arsenic at times

[icy trout]

As long as your portion your rice it’s fine with other healthy foods

rip.

[lost sparrow]

Deadchat?

[white tartan]

i m not overly fond of white rice

i like fried rice more

[lost sparrow]

Same

[zinc inlet]

Same

[distant sierra]

Same

[lost sparrow]

Real dysphoric and depression hours. What up?

[golden berry]

me too

[icy trout]

well good for you guys! I like fried more too.

Ugh

Just about to start cooking and we get called standby because there’s a big incident at a recycling plant

[sick bison]

THIS IS SO WHOLESOME

[zinc inlet]

Guys

[timid dawn]

I am hither

[zinc inlet]

So my physics teacher

Is awful

She hasn’t taught us anything so far

And today we had a group task super hard thing worth 60 percent of my grade

That no one could do

[timid dawn]

God

I hate that

Teachers who make excuses piss me off

[leaden edge]

I like your name frankie

[zinc inlet]

We have literally done no physics yet expect for free body diagrams and velocity Over time graphs

[timid dawn]

Haha thanks

It’s spooky season

Everybody got spooky names

[zinc inlet]

And then she gave us a project that we had to do in an hour and a half where we had to find out when a plane had to drop water so that it could hit a specific drop zone

Only knowing how high the plane was and how long it took to release the water

[timid dawn]

How the hell are you meant to find that out

[zinc inlet]

I DONT KNOW

[timid dawn]

I’m sorry about your physics teacher

I have a teacher who hasn’t even started teaching us 5 weeks into the year

She keeps saying she will “have it ready by tommorow”

[zinc inlet]

Rip

If I think about my teacher hasn’t taught too

Everyday she gives us a lab to do and then she makes us do that on our own

Doesn’t even explain

[icy trout]

Basically all of our labs in college have us do everything on our own without explanation

That’s just the way college is I suppose at least at my school

Me in university ^^^^ But it gets easier as you get the hang of it

But we manage

Yeah

I mean I work in a lab now. We all have the same protocol just tweaked in some ways

As long as you grasp the concept behind it you can change it to fit it to what you're doing

[proud condor]

I brought home 50lbs

[compact pewter]

dear lord

^

[bronze swallow]

omg

[proud condor]

I’m gonna bike before eat so I don’t die

[bronze swallow]

so i have a dilemma. i'm torn between wanting to be a vet tech and a therapist and i just read somewhere that vets/vet techs have the highest suicide rates and that some vets get ptsd from euthanizing pets. now i'm just worried :(

[sick bison]

both are extremely emotionally taxing jobs

[bronze swallow]

it's hard being an hsp

[sick bison]

my therapist seems like a nice guy but I'm sure he has his own therapist

here's an opinion: as a vet tech/vet, you only see animals when they're sick and/or dying. as a therapist, you have to see people at their lowest lows, but you also get to see them get better, and that might be partially due to your presence in their lives

of course there will always be some patients you have to fire or just won't listen to you, but as a therapist you're probably gonna see some people at their highest as well

well vet techs see animals for annual well-animal exams too but most of the time, just sick and/or dying

also, the career of vet tech requires much less schooling. therapists need a master's at minimum I think. my therapist has a PhD

[bronze swallow]

and there's a big pay difference as well

[sick bison]

therapists make a lot of money but they also have to spend a lot of money going to school

[bronze swallow]

it seems like it should be obvious but i'm still torn about it

yeah

[sick bison]

vet techs do a program, I don't think you need a college degree to do it

I don't think it's obvious, they are two wildly different jobs, the only similarity is that it's a lot of emotional labor

the only career in humanities I would advise anyone against is a social worker

[bronze swallow]

yeah and i really like helping people/animals

[sick bison]

overeducated, underpaid, incredibly high suicide rate

[bronze swallow]

yeah social work would be way too much for me

[blazing pumice]

oof

[bronze swallow]

you can't get too personal with it or you'll end up taking the emotional labor home with you

[blazing pumice]

this person named ghastie comments on all my stuff so kindly and it makes me wanna cry

im shook that someone takes the time out of their day not only to read my shit, but to comment on it like this!!!

i hope they know i love them

[last helm]

thats such a wonderful comment!!!!

[blazing pumice]

legit got tears in my eyes

i didn't wanna creep em out

[zinc inlet]

@icy trout sorry for the late reply about university, but I’m also a freshmen

And I’m in physics one and she hasn’t taught me anything

[icy trout]

@zinc inlet I completely understand and relate. I took physics and I had to teach myself everything.

It’s very fast paced as well

[zinc inlet]

Yup

Thanks for understanding tho my mom thinks I’m not studying hard enough even though I had a study guide for a test that I went over with her(we had a test yesterday before today’s group assignment) and on the study guid it was all free body diagrams and position over time graphs

And now we doing kinematics 🤦‍♂️

[icy trout]

I believe that it’s a weed out class.

No it’s a very difficult class.

You’re doing great

[zinc inlet]

This is also her first year teaching

[icy trout]

Just keep going and hopefully it’ll pass

And you’ll pass 😋

[zinc inlet]

I hope so

Thanks

It’s just very frustrating

[icy trout]

Yeah I agree. you’d think they’d help teach more thoroughly.

[latent gate]

i'm about to try swapping out the hard drive on my laptop with a new one... please pray 4 me

if i'm not back in like 3 hours i probably broke it lol

[icy trout]

[jolly sand]

Welcome @icy trout

[icy trout]

Ty uwu

[last helm]

welcome!!!

[icy trout]

ùwú

[latent gate]

back

thank u for your thoughts and prayers... gonna upgrade RAM next (need to order it first tho)

[blazing pumice]

whens the best time of day to study a language?

[latent gate]

my mind is often clearest in the evening

ymmv

[icy trout]

From a science standpoint earlier the better

[latent gate]

damn my computer is so much less sluggish with the new SSD installed

[crude mason]

@blazing pumice- What are you studying?

[blazing pumice]

French

[jolly sand]

ohh

[latent gate]

tres bien!

that's all i got.

[jolly sand]

lol

good enough

come to me if you need help 👀

[timid dawn]

Bonjour je mappelle Frankie, j’habite a London avec mon famille, j’adore animal crossing parce que cest tres amusant

I wrote that from my memory not sure if it’s correct

[jolly sand]

almost correct oo good job

[latent gate]

i'm on a real life animal crossing-style fetch quest

usps didn't deliver a package because i wasn't at home (they're supposed to give packages to the concierge but ok)

i asked for it to be redelivered and it never was...

walked to the post office and realized that the location had been torn down

now i'm going to its temp location

ac lyfe.

[crude mason]

Good luck. Let us know the outcome!

[latent gate]

to my great surprise and happiness, the package wasn't lost, it was just chillin in the post office

happy ac quest complete noise

[pliant wigeon]

Yay!!!

What did you order?

[latent gate]

i buy some CDs every once in a while

this particular batch was imported and kinda expensive so i would have been salty had the package actually been lost

[pliant wigeon]

Nice. Glad they were safe, then. Def would not have been cool if they'd been lost.

I ordered a mattress recently and uh.... that got lost.

[latent gate]

???

how does a mattress get lost??

and speaking of expensive lol

[pliant wigeon]

I have absolutely no idea.

The store I ordered them from said they shipped. But the package never arrived at UPS for shipping.

[latent gate]

what the heck

[pliant wigeon]

So I got in touch with them and they'll resend it.

[latent gate]

for free, i hope!

[pliant wigeon]

Yes, of course! I never got the original, so I wasn't going to pay for the original.

[latent gate]

good!

[pliant wigeon]

They just reprocessed the order and it should be actually shipping this time.

So in the meantime, my daybed doesnt have a mattress.

[latent gate]

so you're... sleeping on the wireframe?

[pliant wigeon]

No, no, no. I have my actual bed. And a daybed.

[latent gate]

i see...

quickly googles "daybed"

ah

[pliant wigeon]

Yes. So my daybed will basically be my sofa. Until I either fall asleep on it. Or until I have a visitor to syat in my room.

[latent gate]

you gotta have a good daybed or sofa

such a critical part of a home

(look at me, using a word i just learned)

[timid dawn]

Sofas are either so comfortable or so painful to sleep on

[pliant wigeon]

Hahaha. Yes.

Which is why a good daybed is perfect. It's good as a sofa, and still makes a good bed to sleep on.

[crude mason]

Leather couches are the worst to sleep on because you stick to them.

[timid dawn]

Oh god

A leather couch + summertime

Absolutely disgusting

[midnight oracle]

lol they are

[pliant wigeon]

Yikes. That's a recipe for disaster.

[latent gate]

leather smells weird too

thanks but no thanks to leather

[pliant wigeon]

We have a fake leather couch.

[thick igloo]

is it black

😏

[crude mason]

@tidal dirge- What test did you fail?

[tidal dirge]

biology

[pliant wigeon]

.....yes. @thick igloo

[tidal dirge]

genetics and stuff

[pliant wigeon]

Ooh, I love biology.

[crude mason]

Barry- That's a hard subject. Can you retake it?

[tidal dirge]

Yeah

[pliant wigeon]

I like to think I could be a tutor for the sciences.

[crude mason]

That's good. At least you know what to expect this time.

[tidal dirge]

id ask my brother but hes not that good at the science things

[thick igloo]

Can I offer a recommendation when it comes to studying for a test?

[crude mason]

Of course you can.

Also, your avatar is so damn cute!!

I love her waving!!!

[thick igloo]

Just asking to be polite, sometimes people know what they need to work on and would rather not get tips or something idk >.<

[pliant wigeon]

True.

[thick igloo]

But yeah, I recommend checking youtube for videos on the subject

[crude mason]

Oh. I see what you mean.

YouTube is a good idea, as long as it's credible.

[thick igloo]

Yeah, of course, checking sources is important

[pliant wigeon]

Yeah. It can be very helpful, especially if you have trouble learning from just reading.

[thick igloo]

And that's me

I found a teacher's youtube and she followed my exact curriculum

[crude mason]

Yeah. Reading is hard to retain. I do better hearing it.

[thick igloo]

In my native language as well

[tidal dirge]

I usually take meds but i go up a bit too late so i forget to take them lol

[thick igloo]

So I paid for a month of youtube premium so that I could listen to her youtube videos like a podcast

[crude mason]

Barry- Set a reminder on your phone.

[thick igloo]

Before sleeping, on the bus to class

Etc.

[pliant wigeon]

Eep. I learn pretty well from reading, and also from just listening to lecture.

[crude mason]

Zo- That's lucky you found that.

[thick igloo]

It is soo lucky

[tidal dirge]

I always remember it when im on the bus and i get dissapointed in myself

[thick igloo]

I learn very well from lectures but reading can be a bit hard for me if I haven't already gone through it actively through dialogue or heard a lecture about it

[pliant wigeon]

Take some to class with you! Bring a little pill bottle with a few pills.

Well.... maybe not. Never mind.

[lost sparrow]

Lol

[thick igloo]

Also thanks for the compliment, but I found the pic on tumblr

[tidal dirge]

oh and its my birthday soon

[lost sparrow]

7 days until my bday

[tidal dirge]

the 18th?

[thick igloo]

I thought it was super cute too 😍

But can't take no credit

[pliant wigeon]

Happy early birthday!!

Anyway, gotta zoom.

[tidal dirge]

mine is the 19th

[thick igloo]

[crude mason]

@astral heart- What are you eating?

@proud condor- Do you work at a pizza place?

[proud condor]

Yup Papa murphys

[crude mason]

Can you get me a discount?

[proud condor]

Hmmmm

I don’t think so 🍕

[midnight oracle]

papa murphy's are dying in my state ;-;

there aren't that many left

[astral heart]

@crude mason leftovers. Red beans and rice with jiffy mix cornbread

[crude mason]

Do you put honey on your cornbread?

[astral heart]

No

On my biscuits maybe

[sonic holly]

Red beans and cornbread is southern shit to the max

But it makes you full af

[astral heart]

Full AF

But my high metabolism burns it off in two hours and I'm back hungry

I'll invest in some nature valley bars

[sonic holly]

smhhh

[crude mason]

Would you rather be forced to dance every time you heard music or be forced to sing along to any song you heard?

[astral heart]

Why not both B? 😒

I can't sing or dance but dancing is less embarrassing so I'd rather DANCE 😂

[crude mason]

You can't pick both because it's a "would you rather", not "would you both".

[sonic holly]

hmmm ill choose sing. i dont know every song, so im not obligated to sing along to songs idk, or dont know the words to

[astral heart]

Ems that means no twerking ... Are u sure?

[lost sparrow]

Means people would hear what bad songs you listen to

[sonic holly]

well she never said i couldnt dance ever lol

just be forced to dance at every song

however

singing constantly is a big strain on ur vocal cords

^

exactly

[latent gate]

definitely sing because i can't / don't dance

[sonic holly]

we must change that

[latent gate]

[sonic holly]

we deserve to see some dance moves

[latent gate]

it wouldn't be PG

[sonic holly]

ugh my internet is getting fucked so hard thanks to this weather :X

[latent gate]

[sonic holly]

& im 5 min away from beating upstairs neighbors' ass

i get it, theres a big football game tomorrow

but cmon, u dont fucking live in this god forsaken building by urself

[latent gate]

loud neighbors are the worst

[sonic holly]

i mean they always sound like the fucking hulk stomping around up there

and while it drives me insane, i deal w/ it

but fridays before a big game theyre like prepping their place for guests tomorrow

but i swear its like they drop a chair every 5 secs. or something

[lost sparrow]

Hmhm

MLB game @sonic holly?

Or other game?

Because I know some people who are betting about MLB

Filled their own win charts

If that's betting

Eeeeerrmmmm

Let's keep it at renovation

Lol

[sonic holly]

huh, no college football

same tho jenny

but honestly. its just they build everything so crappily that any sounds are just amplified

so it sounds louder than it is
