Jeez was it signed by Jesus himself or something

[severe python]

There should be a reasonable cap

[verbal wharf]

You’d think they’d be like

[severe python]

And just like a hold on getting other books until you fix it

[verbal wharf]

“The book is only $15”

It was a hardcover so

[severe python]

I don’t think that many dishonest people are at the library

[verbal wharf]

It was Wintergirls I remember

Because we had to do book reports in ap psyche as busy work after the ap test

And it was on a long hold

So I gave it to my friend after I finished

She never returned it

[severe python]

Why’d you have busy work after??

[verbal wharf]

I never checked if she did

School rules

We couldn’t do nothing

We mostly watched movies and did short papers

The book report was like one paragraph lol

It wasn’t a legit report

[latent gate]

i just want y'all to know, the past tense of "sic" like (to sic a debt collection agency on cheesey fries) is "sicced"

[verbal wharf]

It just had to look like an assignment so the school board wasn’t like asking questions

That’s sick

I wonder if this is in my credit report

[latent gate]

damn it might be

[verbal wharf]

“Owes the library”

[latent gate]

credit score: ZERO

[severe python]

The point of the class is to get that 5 and immediately notify college board if you suspect your proctor has not allotted the appropriate amount of time as someone opened the shrink wrap before they were permitted to do so

Or discuss the material on the exam verbally or through electronic media at any point prior to july

[verbal wharf]

The tests were in May

And we had a month left of school after

[severe python]

Y’all finish late

[verbal wharf]

Yes

We started after Labor Day too

[severe python]

I started mid august in hs and finished early may

[verbal wharf]

Tbf that’s just the difference between school years north/south

[severe python]

True facts

[verbal wharf]

[verbal wharf]

You could be tho

If you bleached

[west onyx]

[west onyx]

Yesterdays was like "yeet your friend across the room day" or something

[severe python]

[verbal wharf]

I can pick up my cat or dog

Not my homies

[west onyx]

I don't have friends or pets so I'm just not yeeting anyone

[severe python]

Across the room is the problem I have

[west onyx]

ok i told my bf it is supposed to be men make dinner day so he needs to make extra pasta and he said no he will make me a pop tart instead in the microwave ????

[severe python]

Maybe if he left more dishes in the sink I’d get the encouragement I needed

[latent gate]

lmao

[severe python]

How thoughtful

[latent gate]

you don't even get the toaster

[west onyx]

I know I was like what don't those go in the toaster

he said they are better in the microwave??

I don't like my pop tarts toasted so I won't even try lol

[severe python]

Possibly less dehydrated than the toaster

[west onyx]

yeah maybe more soft

(also i don't want dinner really. I had a bagel 3 hours ago or something i'm good lol)

but now if i need an excuse to drink i can say it's because i'm so sad he wouldn't make me dinner

genius

[severe python]

I’m an enabler but I stopped myself

[west onyx]

:P

[worthy ivy]

gogurt

[verbal wharf]

Yes

We had a lot of freezer pops tho

My grandpa would buy them a lot

[versed trench]

My sister likes Reese’s and thin mints cold

I feel the same about thin mints but Reese’s .. idk room temp is good for the classic ones

the small ones in the foil are great cold tho

[verbal wharf]

I put Reese’s in the fridge

I hate thin mints tho

[versed trench]

I don’t blame u, my fiancé hates them too

[verbal wharf]

I don’t think mint belongs in food

[versed trench]

he’s British tho so he didn’t grow up with them

and ahh

There’s a video of Gordon Ramsey eating a thin mint and spitting it out

[verbal wharf]

It’s just toothpaste chocolate

[versed trench]

y-yeah u not wrong

[verbal wharf]

You know what’s underrated

Savanah Smiles

[latent gate]

i'm not even sure i've had those before

[versed trench]

https://youtu.be/oI_LQ5lR4gU

I legit have some Savannah smiles in my pantry rn

Theyre probably bad tho

Uh, expiration date wise

[verbal wharf]

You might not get them where you live

[versed trench]

Nice omg, I hope yours aren’t expired

Just checked mine are

[verbal wharf]

Do you get Tagalongs or Peanut Butter Patties Sun?

Bold of you to assume that’ll stop me

[versed trench]

god the peanut butter oatmeal cookies are my favorite

and omg relatable

[pliant wigeon]

Yo

[verbal wharf]

Different bakery regions get different cookies

[pliant wigeon]

Thin mints are the best.

[verbal wharf]

They suck

[pliant wigeon]

They are the best.

[versed trench]

Omg ok , yeah I knew there was a west and east coast different manufacturer

I miss thanks a lots!!

like, the original ones that weren’t circles

[verbal wharf]

It’s actually the same on both coasts

It’s like the middle that’s different

[versed trench]

they discontinued the one I’m talking about-

[versed trench]

Ohhhhhh

Wtf??

ah ok I know why I thought that now

[latent gate]

oh damn pb patties?

[versed trench]

Where I used to live on the west coast is abc

[verbal wharf]

Probably cuz California has so many people

[latent gate]

and tagalongs?

[worthy ivy]

im in ABC bakers territory

[versed trench]

and the east is the other one

[latent gate]

that's some good, good business

[verbal wharf]

Keebler owns one of the bakeries

[pliant wigeon]

Somowhatevers are second best.

[verbal wharf]

So grasshoppers are close to thin mints

[versed trench]

mmm gotcha

[verbal wharf]

I like Tagalongs, do si dos, and Savannah smiles

[versed trench]

The peanut butter sammich ones are so good

they’re my favorite along with thanks a lots

Tagalongs are amazing too!! I agree with u there as well

[pliant wigeon]

We rarely get girl scout cookies.

[verbal wharf]

Peanut butter sandwich is do si dos

They’re so good

[versed trench]

I just checked the image and realized that whoops

[verbal wharf]

Like a sweet Austin’s cracker

I remember when I was a brownie

Selling them was so easy

I was mad I sold too many and got a t shirt instead of a teddy bear lol

[versed trench]

God I was the worst Girl Scout tho, I was so lazy about sellin em

[verbal wharf]

My parents would just take a sheet to work

And they’d sell themselves

[versed trench]

everyone i could sell to had a girl scout already in their family

The trick is to do the parents thing or wait u til everyone else quits

[verbal wharf]

Even at work now people just hang up the sheets in the break room

[west onyx]

excuse me samoas are best girl scout cookie ty

[versed trench]

then everyone is like.. yo u still a girlscout?

[west onyx]

thin mints gross tho

[verbal wharf]

People buy like one box from each

To spread out

[versed trench]

Tbh I am happy with all the cookies

[verbal wharf]

Thanks Fetish

[west onyx]

[versed trench]

I usually use Habitica to mark if I’ve taken my meds

[verbal wharf]

But it doesn’t go that much if you’re not perfect

It’s pretty hard to get pregnant normally

[west onyx]

my endometriosis is my backup B)

[versed trench]

Doubling up ur dose the next day can cause blood clots so be careful

[west onyx]

ok i took it i just had to go get wa-wa

[verbal wharf]

My fucked up hormones is my backup

B)

Birth control itself can cause blood clots

[versed trench]

my medical conditions are like, a firm possibility I would miscarriage if I wasn’t under strict doctor supervision

Ah

ye but it’s just an increased chance

[verbal wharf]

Oh I probably would

And if I didn’t I’d probably hemorrhage

So like

Let’s not

[versed trench]

gahh yeah

[west onyx]

[verbal wharf]

Tbh I’d get an ablation if I could

[versed trench]

I was just saying cause I’ve had a family member not be careful sorry!! Anyway how are y’all

[verbal wharf]

[west onyx]

[versed trench]

yeah only reason I said, my bad

[west onyx]

I'm gooooood. waiting for it to bed eggnog time 👀

[versed trench]

[verbal wharf]

Be careful if you take melatonin too

It can effect birth control

[west onyx]

i meant be eggnog time but i can take eggnog to bed too i guess. wild.

[verbal wharf]

Also can effect diabetes meds

[versed trench]

I’ve never had eggnog tbh

[verbal wharf]

I hate it

[versed trench]

Oh damn didn’t know

[west onyx]

oh that's good to know i almost bought melatonin yesterday lol

[verbal wharf]

It takes a lot to have an effect but

[versed trench]

Ur body naturally produces it so I thought it was safe??

compared to other sleep aids

[verbal wharf]

You’re not meant to have a lot of anything in your body

[versed trench]

You’re not supposed to take a ton of melatonin anyway, it can mess up ur sleep cycle for when u don’t use it

[west onyx]

I wish I had a lot of pizza in my body :(

[versed trench]

same

[verbal wharf]

Your also supposed to take it and then lay in bed in the dark and try to sleep

It doesn’t do anything if you don’t like relax as well

[west onyx]

lmao

did that get bot deleted

[versed trench]

It takes like 2 hours for melatonin to work tho

[verbal wharf]

No I deleted it

Yeah but it’s not a sleeping pill

[versed trench]

I know

Lmao

[west onyx]

well i saw it anyway no take-backs

[verbal wharf]

It can’t put you to sleep if you’re staring at a phone screen

You gotta chill

It’s not a take back bby

It’s just our little secret

[west onyx]

I'll keep you my dirty little secret

[verbal wharf]

I say this fully knowing I stare at my phone in bed

[west onyx]

[proud condor]

And applesauce

[crude mason]

Are we going to cry?

[latent gate]

of course!

[proud condor]

Ready

[crude mason]

Crying sucks.

[proud condor]

That turtle feels our pain

[pliant wigeon]

Only if we need to. Ideally not, tho.

But I also feel like a good cry would be cathartic for me, right now.

[verbal wharf]

Can we get too drunk and spill deep secrets/share trauma that we’ll never mention again?

[proud condor]

I think Hilary duff is fine like wine 😍

[pliant wigeon]

I dont usually keep my secrets hidden away, anymore.

[west onyx]

[verbal wharf]

That’s the Australian dude

[sick bison]

@crude mason @floral wave @sonic holly Roscoe's makes their waffles with cinnamon and vanilla. And their chicken is so salty and so is the butter on the waffles. The syrup is cinnamon-y too. It's such a yummy combo. We try and hit a Roscoe's whenever we come to LA

[pliant wigeon]

Hi, Kate!!

[proud condor]

[west onyx]

Man that australian dude was so nice

[proud condor]

[verbal wharf]

Nvm don’t marry

[sick bison]

Hi. I'm at my concert now. We missed like half of our favorite band's opening set so I'm bummed about that. Waiting through the middle band we don't care about. Waiting for the people we came for. I'm sitting out in the mezzanine. Roscoe's is fighting back. I'm not used to that amount of salt and grease

[proud condor]

Like me the hot brother

[pliant wigeon]

I wish I could sit in a flower pot with a cute/hot Aussie dude.

[west onyx]

anything can happen at an EA launch party

[sick bison]

We're catching this tour again when it ends in San Diego tho so I'm not super bummed

[pliant wigeon]

Okay, so that's good.

[verbal wharf]

I have never been to a launch party

I’m not cool enough

[west onyx]

I fell on my ass during the conga line and a dude fell on top of me and I had the biggest bruise ever

[pliant wigeon]

Idek where an EA launch party would be

[sick bison]

LA. Probably

[proud condor]

[pliant wigeon]

Tell him we all say hello.

[proud condor]

Don’t flash him

[verbal wharf]

[proud condor]

No

[west onyx]

i was like why would she shine a flashlight on him

[proud condor]

Dont

[sick bison]

That's one of the benefits of coming to shows that aren't for mega stars

[west onyx]

lmfao

[sick bison]

The fans are all relatively cool too so it's not like he got mobbed

[verbal wharf]

Chuck one at his face

[latent gate]

[proud condor]

Flash

[verbal wharf]

“If you can dodge a flashlight you can dodge a ball”

[proud condor]

My friend and I used to say cut steel

[west onyx]

[sick bison]

He probably likes cats. Who doesn't. Even if he doesn't he'd like MY cats

[west onyx]

Only tolerable when I'm drunk

When I'm sober, I'd rather die before I puke

[latent gate]

it's embarrassing not being able to tell people at work why my voice is all jacked up

[verbal wharf]

I thought I got over it

[west onyx]

[verbal wharf]

Rowlet was easily the cutest gen 7 starter

[pliant wigeon]

I have a Rowlet plushie. Its bigger than my head. Approximately life size.

[west onyx]

i really love the one on the pokemon center site tho 👀 i'm hoping for a free shipping black friday deal or something lol

[pliant wigeon]

Oooh, I want a Sylveon plush!!

Although I would want a big one, not a small one.

[west onyx]

smol but beautiful

[spice nymph]

[pliant wigeon]

SO BEAUTIFUL

[west onyx]

[pliant wigeon]

I want a big version of that.

And then I also want a matching cape.

[west onyx]

[pliant wigeon]

Cute Santa hat!!

I want one now.

To wear at work.

Because I wear Santa hats around christmas.

AND I AM WORKING CHRISTMAS AGAIN THIS YEAR SO I CAN WEAR MY SANT HATS

[west onyx]

[pliant wigeon]

Woah expensive!!

[west onyx]

[pliant wigeon]

Super cute tho.

I also really want a cape like the one Sylveon had on.

[west onyx]

right it looks so snug

and fabulous

[pliant wigeon]

Idk what better to call it. It's not a cape, theres another word for it.

[west onyx]

cloak?

[pliant wigeon]

Yes!!

Thanks, I was blanking.

I want a nice winter cloak.

[west onyx]

cloaks are underrated

[pliant wigeon]

Agreed.

[west onyx]

I finished the episode yahoooo

all my friends sleepin at this hour 😩

[pliant wigeon]

I need a Xanax....

[west onyx]

i never had a benzo but probably need them tbh

[pliant wigeon]

I have a headache.

My back feels cold.

I dont normally need any benzos but I think I would benefit from having some right this second....

[west onyx]

you had a rough day so i can't blame you

my bp was so high at the doctor's the other day i don't think the nurse guy believed me when i said it was probably higher because i was anxious lolll

[pliant wigeon]

If I weren't so paranoid about having a drug test done I'd take some of my thc gummies right now but I'm a little nervous of having a drug test done even though I know there is a low chance of that happening.

[west onyx]

aw

[pliant wigeon]

I'm a little strung up right now.

[west onyx]

try watching something you really like or listening to music you really like

here try this tis the season https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qSlFu4cy3o

[pliant wigeon]

Idk why but Christmas sometimes just makes me sad....

[west onyx]

I RUINED EVERYTHING

[pliant wigeon]

It's okay, Fett. It makes me sad for different reasons....

Some of my absolute favorite fantasies involve Christmas. Watching kids of my own opening presents. My husband at my side, just enjoying being close to me. Snuggled up under a blanket as our kids squeal with joy at their gifts.

I love Christmas, because it means being with your family. And spending time with them. But it makes me sad because I'm afraid those dreams wont come to be.... I want those happy Christmas memories, but I dont know if they will ever happen.

People always tell me that itll happen. They tell me to be patient.

[west onyx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0PduP7PXx0

[pliant wigeon]

I have been. And I will be. But sometimes I get so tired of waiting. Sometimes I get impatient. And yes, I'm super young and have many years for these dreams to happen. But...I always have the fear they wont happen.

That's a lot of my baggage. And...my biggest fear.

[west onyx]

it's not baggage it's just feelings! we're your friends and are here for you <3

i'm not gonna be like "oh just wait a little longer" but i will send cat videos

cuz honestly i'm bad at comforting people so i let animals do it for me lol

[pliant wigeon]

Some people fear they will be forgotten. Or wont do anything meaningful. Some fear the dark. I'm afraid of not having love. Of not having the chance to do what I'm dedicating my life to.

Like...everything I do, I do to make a future for myself and my future kids.

[west onyx]

your feelings are valid no matter if you think they're silly or baggage or what. feelings are feelings. we don't control them. <3

[pliant wigeon]

I want my kids to have a better life than I had, and I'm giving up a lot in my life to make that happen. And I'm so scared that it will all be in vain, that I wont have kids, that I wont have someone to pass on my legacy to.

I dont care if I'm never remembered by people. I dont care if my life makes no difference to the world. I just want to make a future for myself and my family. I want to raise up the next generation.

I am so far from relaxed right now....

[frail flint]

aw ryan

[west onyx]

idk how to help!!

i hope just reading what you have to say helps a teeny bit

to know that you're heard and listened to

[pliant wigeon]

I dont know. Unless you're a doctor and can get a scrip for some Ativan.

Or Xanax.

[west onyx]

no xanny here i'm afraid

[pliant wigeon]

Well, I tried.

[west onyx]

only adult liquid

which... not always great when you're feeling blue

[frail flint]

at least u want that ryan, it's a beautiful value and it's important that u do care about the next generation

ur a good person 💕

[west onyx]

thank goodness marley is here she's better at this than me

[pliant wigeon]

Thanks, guys.

I just...idk. days like this I really think I should go see a therapist.

[west onyx]

i want to see a therapist so i can get an ESA because i would definitely benefit from one but ugh

[frail flint]

i feel that, it could be worth giving a shot

[west onyx]

i don't do good at the whole opening up thing

[pliant wigeon]

Idek how to go about getting into therapy.

[frail flint]

we have a place called bridgeway in my town, and u would call them and set up a place

so maybe google "therapy insert ur location", and then give them a call

[orchid fern]

bbb

[frail flint]

i love blossom

[west onyx]

Me too

[spice nymph]

Ryan mad respects for ur drive man.

[proud condor]

I’ve discovered that from 8th grade in 2014 to 2019 I grew from 5’6 to 5’7 1/2 : P

[verbal wharf]

8th grade in 2014

God I’m old

[latent gate]

same cheesey

no worries

[blazing pumice]

8th grade in 2014?

you're young as fuck

[west onyx]

dayum

[proud condor]

Yes, I’m the youngest in my family

The oldest is 28

[lost sparrow]

I'm feeling old and I was born in 1999

You saw nothing

@proud condor how old is 8th grade?

[proud condor]

13-14

[lost sparrow]

Dutch 8th grade is like: lower school

I was turning 15 in 2014

[proud condor]

Me too

[lost sparrow]

Yeah I am just 20 lol

[proud condor]

I got 1 month

[lost sparrow]

Hmmm

So it's okay for me to feel old

Thankies

[proud condor]

[lost sparrow]

@proud condor Dutch 8th grade is at a younger age

School starts at 4 with grade 0/1

Depending on when you were born

[proud condor]

Oh, I was in Pre K at 3/4

[lost sparrow]

School starts at 4 not at 3 here

[proud condor]

Oh

[severe python]

I was in prek at 4

[lost sparrow]

But child daycare starts at 0 and preschool (toddler play room) at about 2 IIRC

Depends on if your parents can afford it/have long jobs

[severe python]

There really should be more parental leave

[lost sparrow]

4 to 6 weeks pregnancy leave here and at least 10 weeks paid maternity leave here. If the parent takes less than 6 weeks pregnancy leave, they can add it to the maternity leave.

[west onyx]

america is like ok come to work 3 days after you give birth

[severe python]

That’s not enough time imo but I understand why people are against it

[lost sparrow]

I am saying parent, as there have been some cases with trans men being pregnant but IDK how that is being handled by law though

[severe python]

I’m saying parent cuz either mom or dad should be around most of the time the first 6 months

[lost sparrow]

Hmhm, but parental leave isn't the case, only maternity leave for the person who was pregnant, typically the mother but ofc there are edge cases that must be accounted for in law.

[severe python]

Either of the parents should be able to opt in

[lost sparrow]

Agreed

Here it's for the first few weeks post-pregnancy the default that the parent who was pregnant, typically the mother, can get help in home and rest out

[severe python]

On the other hand some good things about daycare are that exposure to a bunch of different germs gives the kid a strong immune system memory

[lost sparrow]

Hmhm

If the baby goes into hospital directly after birth or during the maternity leave, your employee's entitlement to 10 weeks maternity leave begins after the baby has left the hospital. If the mother dies in childbirth, her partner is entitled to the maternity leave.

I don't know how Dutch law accounts for trans men (AFAB) getting pregnant.

If your employee is expecting multiple births, she is entitled to at least 20 weeks leave. She is also entitled to a maternity pay.

If the partner of an employee gives birth, the employee has a right to 1 week of partner/parternity leave following the birth. Partner/paternity leave is the number of working hours in one week. This paid leave can be taken any time in the first 4 weeks after the birth of the child. During this period of leave you must continue to pay 100% of the employee's salary.

As of 1 July 2020, employees will also be entitled to 5 weeks unpaid leave in the first 6 months after the birth. Employees who take unpaid leave will be able to claim benefits from the Employment Insurance Agency (Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen, UWV) for up to 70% of their salary.

[severe python]

That’s probably better than laws in the us

[lost sparrow]

Interesting TBH

[icy trout]

Wow I learnt something new today I had no idea Trans men could get pregnant, that's enlightening

[lost sparrow]

But maternity leave is unpaid it seems not sure

[icy trout]

Oh whoops I got it the wrong way around, I was thinking trans female oops

I'm so dumb

[lost sparrow]

Employees with children aged up to 8 can take unpaid parental leave. They are eligible as soon as they start working for you. You must allow this leave.

[severe python]

I don’t think trans men should get pregnant if they take hormones

[lost sparrow]

@icy trout trans women can't as of now. Were the Nazi book burnings not done and did WW2 not happen, we'd have lived in a different world and maybe we would've figured out a way by now because of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft

[icy trout]

Yeah

[lost sparrow]

And we may have had more knowledge of the past of trans people

[icy trout]

I bet science would be a lot further along if we didn't have all the obstacles

[lost sparrow]

Because unique books got burnt down

Hmhm

[severe python]

A lot of the obstacles were really good for science

[icy trout]

How so?

[lost sparrow]

As said we would have lived in a hella different world

Can't even imagine what it would be like

[severe python]

Nazi science led to nasa and mass agriculture, wwii gave us atomic energy etc

[lost sparrow]

I'm not sure if mass agriculture is an inherently good thing TBF

[wraith palm]

oof...

[lost sparrow]

I pretty much doubt that it is good

[severe python]

It was producing usable nitrogen in mass quantities after the dust bowl and probably allowed land to stay arable a lot longer without crop rotations

[lost sparrow]

Also: nuclear shit caused a lot of thyroid cancer post-WW2

Especially the tests for the Cold War

Lookup how Kodak discovered stuff

[severe python]

In case of fallout eat some iodine pills

[lost sparrow]

Not fallout

I mean other stuff

They tested and a lot of radioactive shit ended up in food

[severe python]

Radioactive iodine is the direct source of thyroid cancer

[lost sparrow]

People got thyroid cancer

Remember to always carry bleach in a disaster kit

[lost sparrow]

https://twitter.com/foone/status/1151546837578313728 here a thread about it

foone (@Foone)

So, Kodak is weird. And a particular way they are weird has to do with the
International Fixed Calendar, as developed by Moses Cotsworth in 1902.
It's a calendar designed to be maximally compatible with the standard Gregorian while also fixing many of the problems of it.

It disinfects and can be used as a water purifier

[lost sparrow]

This is a long thread about Kodak and nuclear shit

Yes, it starts like this but ends up going on about other stuff

[sonic holly]

wtf did i even come into

[verbal wharf]

Idk

But tbh

I’d die

[severe python]

A lot of microbes use perchlorate as food so I’d probably use distillation methods instead

[verbal wharf]

I have no plans to survive any sort of apocalypse

Imma die I know this

[severe python]

I know hypochlorite isn’t the same but it stands to reason the same microbes could further reduce it

[lost sparrow]

https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1151555077687037955 this is even more interesting starting here

foone (@Foone)

as for non-calendar reasons why Kodak is weird:
They discovered something in 1946 that wasn't publicly known and was supposed to be top secret. And they sued the government over it.

25x more radiation than background isn’t that bad

[lost sparrow]

This is true

Can confirm

[severe python]

Oh I liked the ending of that tweet

I don’t like nuclear weapons

I do like nuclear power

[west onyx]

who else has phone anxiety. join hands.

[latent gate]

yes

i don't like getting calls or talking on the phone. lol

[severe python]

You ever just stare at it until it stops going off

[latent gate]

sometimes

[severe python]

Because hanging up would let them know

[west onyx]

I need to call to make an appointment somewhere and my anxiety is up there right now which is annoying because it's fine when i start talking to people lol

[sonic holly]

insta hanging up means im busy tho

so dont call back (;

[severe python]

I call when absolutely necessary texting is infinitely better

[west onyx]

i had my phone on instant reject for months lol cuz nobody calling me for anything except spam

i always google numbers anyway tho lol

[sonic holly]

i dont mind talking on the phone tbh

but our generation isnt so keen on it

so texting is fine

[west onyx]

i just want to do everything online lol

[sonic holly]

interesting

[severe python]

Reading and writing comes a lot easier to me than listening and talking

[west onyx]

i'm shy :3

[severe python]

I’m not socially incompetent I just get distracted easily

[west onyx]

also easier to refer back to things if they are already written by someone somewhere

instead of trusting myself to write the right things

[severe python]

Also the ability to say the exact thing you want to say

[west onyx]

i don't even do voice chats really like i don't think i'd ever voice chat in here. i'm just too shy lol

i voice chat with my small group of friends in our discord sometimes but even then that took a long time to become a normal thing. like years :P

back in the Mumble days

[severe python]

The more you do it the easier it gets

Oh also I hate icebreakers

[west onyx]

i always blank on those lol also i'm extremely uninteresting so i have nothing to say

[severe python]

It’s a forced conversation with people you know nothing about

[lost sparrow]

Apparently I post with Microsoft Security lead I think

An I oop

This is interesting tho

[west onyx]

I don't think I've ever remembered anything anyone said during an ice breaker lol

I don't want to break the ice. I like the ice. It's fun to play on.

[severe python]

Very low coefficient of friction and the way ice skates work is by compressing the ice into water long enough to give some force to work against

[sonic holly]

fetto r u dead ass telling me

ur not gonna VC with us when this game comes out

[verbal wharf]

I hate voice chat

Idk why

Video chat is fine

Voice chat?

Anxiety

[icy trout]

I'll be joining voice chat <3

I want to get to know people

[sonic holly]

i prefer video chat too

but this aint oovoo w/ like 5000 ppl on one chat

tho it;d be hilarious

[verbal wharf]

We’d never be able to understand each other

RIP Tinychat too

The OG webcam chat site

[sonic holly]

i mean, personally i'd like to video chat w/ like the close ppl im gonna be playing with, or the people who are just visiting currently (or who im visiting) but-

cant even vid chat w/ more than one person on discord

soooooo...GARBAGE

tbh ive never tried lmfao

[icy trout]

I think you can

I've tried it before

[verbal wharf]

Not on discord

But that’s where sites come in

[sonic holly]

hmmmm

[icy trout]

Yes you can its on private calls though

the video chats I mean

[sonic holly]

but that doesnt auto make it a "group"

once u add in another person to a 2 person chat

[verbal wharf]

There’s other apps/sites for group video

[icy trout]

everyone can show screens or webcam

[sonic holly]

ahhh wait

i think i see the icon still

ahh so u can i guess

interesting.

i wonder how many ppl can do it

[verbal wharf]

It’s worth a shot tbh
