Oh ok for now I’m about to attend my 8-hour meeting with Mr. Sleep. he’s never on time.

[jovial reef]

Haha, yeah

I finally ended up getting in the top 13k on THM lol

I'm hoping to finally get to top <10k

[river garden]

some1 wants to do ctfs together?

[stoic quarry]

Nice

[jovial reef]

I would but I'm horrible at them lol

[stoic quarry]

Good luck!

I think anyone

[river garden]

how bad r u? I mean ur legend

[jovial reef]

Thank you!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @stoic quarry (current: #158 - 60)

[river garden]

whats ur knowledge level

is that ur main acc?

did you do any ctfs at all?

on thm?

[river garden]

what about you? did you do any easy / medium ctfs so far?

[rapid merlin]

How hard is it to reach top 1% on thm

[jovial reef]

Easy

[river garden]

starts at rank 4k or sth

somewhere at 0xD Legend I would guess

[jovial reef]

Yeah

I got it at like rank 16-17k iirc

Maybe a bit more

But the majority of people have a low rank so it makes top 1% much easier than it sounds

[jovial reef]

When did you get it?

[river garden]

no idea

[jovial reef]

Because it is nowhere near that rank

Ah, fairs

What rank are you?

[river garden]

2033

[jovial reef]

wow

I'm just under 13k lol

[river garden]

so what about it? can u solve easy / medium challenge rooms on thm?

[jovial reef]

Fair enough lol

[fervent cove]

how much points u got jack

[river garden]

that was just a question

not rhetorical or anything

[jovial reef]

Ah, mb, I think so

Depends on what lol

[river garden]

aight if u want you can join

[jovial reef]

idk bro lol

I'm gonna embarrass myself haha

[river garden]

I'm not that pro either

all good

[jovial reef]

okay then...

[river garden]

not aiming for the hard rooms rn

[fervent cove]

im 3550 and still dont know much lmao

[river garden]

want to get tickets

[jovial reef]

That's how I feel lol

[river garden]

52850

[jovial reef]

Like I know all the theory but I'm so braindead when it comes to the practical stuff haha

[river garden]

dm me when you want to start

I would prefer teams

cause then I can listen to music

[jovial reef]

I can start whenever tbf

[rapid merlin]

Is it 👀

[jovial reef]

It's 9PM for me though right now

[jovial reef]

I'd say so

[lyric falcon]

Bi

[jovial reef]

But it's more about because when you do the very easy rooms, the answers are just super obvious

[river garden]

if u aim for getting points kinda yes

there are rooms where you can efficiently farm points

[lyric falcon]

Hi

[jovial reef]

hi

[lyric falcon]

So i know nothing about computer language and don't know dog shi about hacking/coding

How hard it would be for me to learn hacking and make a living out of it

Don't sugarcoat just give me an honest opinion please thank you

[fervent cove]

how much of computer language and what does that really mean

like programming syntax?

[rapid merlin]

impossible.

[lyric falcon]

I see

[river garden]

Probably not that easy; Are you interested in computer science / programming in general or only hacking stuff?

[carmine oasis]

At least 1 year of hard trying.

[river garden]

think 1 year is quite the understatement

[jovial reef]

I agree

[rapid merlin]

I’ve been doing all the newer rooms because I’ve not been online. Most are blues which is what I prefer anyways

[true tendon]

We all started at Zero.... So it's not Impossible 😉

[jovial reef]

Exactly!

[river garden]

I'll send you a teams link in like 15 mins

[jovial reef]

Teams?

Can we not just use Discord?

[carmine oasis]

It can be a little more or less based on how much time you have commitment, interest, motivation, talent, IQ, etc

[river garden]

yeah I mentioned that above; w/ teams I can listen to music at the same time

is that ok for you?

[lyric falcon]

I am learning python and just learned about selenium , I was scrolling youtube and found out about tryhackme

[jovial reef]

Hmm, lemme check

Because I've gotta make an account

[river garden]

you can use the web interface

[lyric falcon]

What's the first step , can anyone provide me a roadmap if anyone got a couple of minutes to spare

I'd really appreciate it

🙂

[fervent cove]

thm has its own roadmap

[river garden]

#general message
^ this

[fervent cove]

https://tryhackme.com/hacktivities?tab=roadmap

[lyric falcon]

Yea I'm super interested in computers
Always saw hacking as a cool thing to do
I even tried kali on my android and sadly I wasn't that motivated to learn linux.
Due to my country's lack of educational route it was next to impossible to learn how to code but i brought my laptop this year and now I'm learning python

Is computer science/ programing/ hacking all different?

[fervent cove]

yes

[jovial reef]

Yeah, computer science is understanding how computers, networks and systems work and so on, programming is being able to understand and create programs and hacking is being able to break into a network/system

[river garden]

Would probably recommend doing a cs degree in general, learning hacking via thm on the side; maybe focussing a little on cysec in your degree

[carmine oasis]

Yeah

[jovial reef]

Damn, you got a degree?

[river garden]

this should have multiple advantages; from what I've heard a lot of knowledgable people here recommend a general cs degree

[jovial reef]

Tbf I was thinking about doing a degree called cybersecurity and digital forensics or smth

[river garden]

yes in cs

[jovial reef]

Ooh, nice

[livid grove]

Hello all.

Any OSINT or Intel area that I can join? Genuine questions

[lyric falcon]

So
Cs
And
Cysec

[modern bobcat]

hi

wpp

how are you

[river garden]

yeah probably a general cs degree with cysec focus; this might be superior and more flexible to doing a "cysec" degree; especially in the case that you have trouble getting a foothold in cysec; then you can pursue other things easier

[quick blaze]

do or die, commit to cyber or die trying

👍🏽

that's what my plan is

who are you again?

[fervent cove]

noah is 14yrs old i think

[river garden]

grok I think

[quick blaze]

no wonder

[lyric falcon]

Thanks @river garden

[fervent cove]

isnt cs degree dying recently?

[river garden]

says who? and why?

[fervent cove]

statistics and idk i didnt do enough research

[dark wolf]

The smartest prevail always

Do what you love doing, don't worry about what other people do

[jovial reef]

Bro I said I wanna do computer science to one of my mates and he said "Hope you enjoy working in McDonald's" 😭

[quick blaze]

i'm sure he's got a very tight non-liability agreement then...

[dark wolf]

Rise above the challenge forwith and conquer all passages the lieth in front of you.

[river garden]

doubt you will end up at McDonalds

[dark wolf]

Do so with fierce knowledge and dedication!

[river garden]

cs positions are fn everywhere

not like u go into some super niche area

[dark wolf]

Really the only reason to go to McDonalds is to buy homeless people food

[quick blaze]

👀

[jovial reef]

lowk I gotta start learning how to program well because the last time I ended up making a project it was raw PHP, raw JS, no framework and now I'm trying to do React front end and FastAPI backend and I don't know how to do half of these things lmao 😭

[quick blaze]

#vibeCoding

[jovial reef]

haha yeah

It's an assignment though

[dark wolf]

THey need food,. its not food but it passes for it

[jovial reef]

So I can't just cheat it by vibe coding tbf

[dark wolf]

and better than them just taking money and spending it on bad things

you takin on too much at once

you have to focus on something

[jovial reef]

fair lol

McDonald's is kinda ass tbf

I do like the McFlurries though

But that's really it

[fervent cove]

mcdonalds is good bc it is shit

[jovial reef]

haha yeah

[fervent cove]

and the consistency is always the same

[jovial reef]

I can get a good shawarma for cheaper than a Big Mac Meal...

And it will be much better...

[quick blaze]

just eat healthier..more meat = more protein = more muscle!

[jovial reef]

Haha yeah

[quick blaze]

more carbs = more energy!

[fervent cove]

yeah but whats better to recover from a hangover. a shawarma or* greasy mcdonalds

[quick blaze]

a gatorade

trust me

don't ask me why i know

[rapid merlin]

This room is taking a while

[jovial reef]

tbf never had alcohol before

[fervent cove]

i drink a gatorade before i sleep when i expect a hangover

[jovial reef]

And I'm nearly 18 too haha

[fervent cove]

diet coke for the day after

[quick blaze]

swap it around

you'll feel better

[jovial reef]

coke diet

[dark wolf]

diet coke is 98% water

[fervent cove]

but caffeine

[quick blaze]

just flavored carbonated water

[dark wolf]

I love caffeine

[quick blaze]

i've had so much caffeine it doesn't have an effect on me anymore

[dark wolf]

[quick blaze]

11 redbulls on an exam day and after that i just couldn't feel nothing for at least 4 redbulls in

[dark wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/tweek-crazy-gif-14980661

[quick blaze]

tbf i did score a 96/100!

so it was worth it

[jovial reef]

That's mental bro

How did you not flatline with that much caffeine lmao

[quick blaze]

built different

[fervent cove]

i take a gram of caffeine everyday before the gym

[quick blaze]

i just have a very high tolerance for both, caffeine and alcohol

[dark wolf]

Dayum

don't drink, if you have a high tolerance at your age yeah dont drink

[fervent cove]

dont drink at all, youll regret it have fun being sober

[quick blaze]

its pretty rare, around once a month or so, but that's it

i'm responsible

[quick blaze]

yep!

[acoustic quiver]

Hey, silver tickets are from medium challenges I would assume right?

[fervent cove]

no, random

pray to rng gods

[quick blaze]

tickets drop from any rooms -- they're randomized too

you also have a chance of getting no tickets

[dark wolf]

What you do is take pictures of everyone else when they are plastered and then you have photos for blackmail.

[acoustic quiver]

22 challenges in only bronze

😭

[acoustic quiver]

Yes that happened me once

[quick blaze]

i was shitfaced (had more vodka than everybody else) and i still made eggs for my friends to sober up

[dark wolf]

No

[quick blaze]

[dark wolf]

tickets are random

gold has smaller chance

[quick blaze]

oof, that's just unlucky

[dark wolf]

like the casino

[fervent cove]

yeah thm showing us how to gamble

[astral raven]

In try hack me you can learn cyber security from 0 to expert?

[vague monolith]

Yep, fully random

[quick blaze]

funnily enough those were the best eggs i've made in my whole life

[acoustic quiver]

How many challenges deep are you?

[quick blaze]

#start-here

[astral raven]

👍😁👍

[acoustic quiver]

I even tried a medium and still got no silver I was assuming that was the order but unfortunately not

[tight trout]

hi beul

leub

elbu

[acoustic quiver]

Should have kept all the 5 minute challenges for a time like this 😢

[tight trout]

lebu

[quick blaze]

hey mints

[tight trout]

hows yous

[acoustic quiver]

Somebody recommend me a room easy/medium

[tight trout]

pickle rick

[quick blaze]

shit honestly, having the worst week in about two years

[tight trout]

that sucks :/ anything you want to talk about?

[acoustic quiver]

I already done that in my path lol

[quick blaze]

not really, thanks though

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @tight trout (current: #31 - 348)

[vague monolith]

@acoustic quiver

[tight trout]

yeah, my dms are always open if you need anything

[quick blaze]

thanks mints, that's good to know

[acoustic quiver]

Makes sense I was tired af after class today and only hopped on later into the day

Send me some rooms 🙏

pass me your luck

[tight trout]

theres a search feature

you can filter by diffuculty

[acoustic quiver]

Yes im aware

Just wanna see what everybody else is doing lol

I understand you can do popular but thats overall

Imma try a hard if I get a bronze ticket after completing I swear 😭

[rapid merlin]

Okay another room now 🙃 let’s goooo

[misty echo]

4 silvers done, going to sleep lol,
Got bronze ones many

[rapid merlin]

I’ve done 114 questions so far

[acoustic quiver]

I just wanna get the 10 silvers

And then leave it at that

Whatever for gold I dont got time for that

HELLO

[sour depot]

Print("hello world!")

[fervent cove]

yeah i was expecting the event to be longer tbh

[rapid merlin]

This is an interesting room. It’s on mobiles. I wish we had more mobile device rooms tbh.

[fervent cove]

i wish i took off this whole week

[acoustic quiver]

How long is it running for?

[fervent cove]

sept 10

[acoustic quiver]

Yes that would be cool

[vague monolith]

It's really just pure luck. I got a couple of bronze tickets and then almost immediately got gold tickets. At one point, they didn't even give me any tickets.

[acoustic quiver]

Yeah like 3 of the 20 rooms ive done have been no tickets

then all bronze

[rapid merlin]

I wonder if there’s any courses on mobiles specifically

[vague monolith]

oh

[acoustic quiver]

Well learning resources on mobile is a thing

But I feel like

Just reading is nothing to me

If I read about something I then wanna practice this with experience

It makes me remember it a lot easier

[rapid merlin]

No I mean courses on mobiles security. 😅

[acoustic quiver]

Oh yes ofc

[rapid merlin]

More interested in mobiles than computers tbh

[acoustic quiver]

Yes there is

[rapid merlin]

Don’t really care too much for computers since I stopped gaming.

[vague monolith]

I recommend you look at the ones you left unfinished. There are many where I forgot to complete the completed step and they were left half-finished. Who knows, maybe free tickets

[acoustic quiver]

Oh true

Good idea

Im just flying through the begineer easy challenges rn

[brave pilot]

holy fuck man i wanted to do a room but one of the tasks are bugged

[acoustic quiver]

Farming tickets

[brave pilot]

ill try again tmr at like 8am in skl

[vague monolith]

Do the fundamentals 🙂

[acoustic quiver]

I already have previously

[vague monolith]

Oh

[fervent cove]

no one say hi to noah, thanks

[vague monolith]

Hi Noah! 🙂

[rapid merlin]

I just read in a room that someone’s step count in their phone was held against them in court. 😂

I’m busteddd /j

[vague monolith]

@acoustic quiver wtf

[acoustic quiver]

Imma punch u bruh

Sitting here doing "simple CTF" bored out of my mind

[vague monolith]

This time it was a bug, it marked me the golden ticket but gave me bronze

[acoustic quiver]

Thats wild 😭

Baited

[vague monolith]

😢

[acoustic quiver]

Finally I got the username and password

Took long enough for it to find

[vague monolith]

Congrats!!

let's hope it's gold

[acoustic quiver]

Im hoping silver honestly

I dont want to get a gold it will make me wanna get a full 10 of them

[gusty inlet]

https://tenor.com/view/mike-o'hearn-real-brainfog-gif-7666610795160025826

[acoustic quiver]

2 more bronze

imma cry

[vague monolith]

I got the 10 bronze tickets, but nothing happened, I don't understand

Simply, puff, they're gone.

[fervent cove]

you can keep getting them

u prolly got some xp buff or a freeze

[vague monolith]

hmm

Is there any way to see if I have an xp buff? Literally no pop-up, no sound, nothing 🤣

[rapid merlin]

I’m not sure but that’s what they’re usually giving

XP buffs

[stoic quarry]

When you answer questions it'll tell you sometomes

[vague monolith]

I know, I just expected something more, I don't know, visual. Maybe it's just bugged, it's showing me golden tickets and they're other ones.

[ocean swan]

wasn't it supposed to give an error since I am logged in as root

[quick blaze]

aren't you supposed to run it as sudo/root

[ocean swan]

... no idea

[quick blaze]

you are

msfdb doesn't initialize otherwise

[worn turret]

Comp sci or comp eng for university studys

[rapid merlin]

Offt I just stretched and I think my spine turned into a glow stick.

[quick blaze]

depends, two different things

[worn turret]

I want to do cybersec

[clear jackal]

Root, typically by default barring any additional configuration, has access to the full system and can pretty much run anything. It's why it's so dangerous.

It's a superuser in every essence of the word

[ocean swan]

ok I am a bit confused rn, do I still need to run sudo -u postgres msfdb init or no?

[quick blaze]

then comp sci, comp sci + eng would focus more on the engineering aspects, depends on what you want though 🤷🏽‍♂️

[clear jackal]

No, root does not need to use sudo

[quick blaze]

Sudo is basically 'superuser do', you're executing a command with elevated permissions than a normal user.

[ocean swan]

yes I know that

so postgres msfdb init is enough?

[quick blaze]

you've already run msfdb init though...

[ocean swan]

ok got it

thank you

[quick blaze]

do msfconsole -q and type in db_status

[ocean swan]

this is what confused me

[quick blaze]

should show you that the db already exists and what state it is in

[bleak quartz]

Hi moose

[worn turret]

Hm alr

[ocean swan]

why -q? it will drop me to msf6 directly

[quick blaze]

🤷🏽‍♂️ just msfconsole then

[ocean swan]

the banner is cool tho xD can't skip it

[quick blaze]

bah

[ocean swan]

look at that rabbit

it's art, can't skip art

anyways, it is set up, thank you @quick blaze and @clear jackal

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @clear jackal (current: #21 - 526)

[clear jackal]

You should use whatever status command is available to see if it worked. However, you really shouldn't be running everything as root from a best practice perspective.

[clear jackal]

Hi

[quick blaze]

@mossy river swear to god the bot gives the rep to whoever is higher in the role hierarchy

[ocean swan]

yes hahahahahahahha

[quick blaze]

sorry- not being petty i swear, just noticed it.

[mossy river]

I didn’t code that bot

[ocean swan]

I will wait cooldown then thank you

[quick blaze]

❌ no need 😭

[mossy river]

Pls email your complaints to the developer

[ocean swan]

dw about it

[quick blaze]

skill issue!

[bleak quartz]

Yeah, this could easily be risky

[rapid merlin]

hi i would like to ask what we are studying in thm and whether this reflects how real life companies manage such tasks

[gusty inlet]

Chat am I going for ANOTHER ONE?

[quick blaze]

yooooo

which one is this

[fervent cove]

what is it

[rapid merlin]

Guys whats that tickets seen Lemme know tooo😭 😭

[bleak quartz]

Teach me the ways to afford all of this haha

[rapid merlin]

I got two

[ocean swan]

[rapid merlin]

But dont know what are they for

[gusty inlet]

Dkob what job did u do before IT?

[gusty inlet]

Insane cert. Super advanced though.

I'd probably need some training above CRTO before starting this lol.

[bleak quartz]

U can do it! Just don't cramp it tho

Schedule it well

[fervent cove]

do u already have all ur off sec stuff

[bleak quartz]

Easier said than done ik

[ocean swan]

oh it's a cert, got it

[bleak quartz]

But it's just not good for your mental health

[ocean swan]

thank you @quick blaze

[bleak quartz]

There's that one provider for these

Like very advanced ones

[ocean swan]

hmmmm

[bleak quartz]

Teaches militaries

[gusty inlet]

Uh no job, a sales internship.

[rapid merlin]

I think I need a break. This is killing me.

[quick blaze]

good luck mate 👍🏽

[bleak quartz]

It's in your cert list I forgot the name

[sage lion]

Yeah looks way harder than crto

[gusty inlet]

It's basically the last boss.

[ocean swan]

breaks are for the weak

[gusty inlet]

You have this and OSEE.

[bleak quartz]

Oo

[gusty inlet]

The 2 most hardest on the market.

[rapid merlin]

You’re right. Onto the next room 😂

[sage lion]

In terms of evasion?

[ocean swan]

good job soldier

[gusty inlet]

Her grind is real.

[quick blaze]

@rapid merlin, how's the ticket hunting going? 😆

[bleak quartz]

How much you've spent so far dkob? On certs or courses alone

[rapid merlin]

It’s going because I’ve not stopped since the event started 🙃

[bleak quartz]

I think I've been smart with my money

But I want to hear how much

[gusty inlet]

2.1K dollars total on all 7 certs.

[quick blaze]

how's the collection bars looking like?

[ocean swan]

do u use linkedin?

[bleak quartz]

Oh damn

[ocean swan]

worth

[rapid merlin]

Few silver and two gold

[gusty inlet]

Yes.

[bleak quartz]

Def

[stoic cliff]

could i get advice from somebody experienced in the industry?

[quick blaze]

interesting

[ocean swan]

mind sharing?

[stoic cliff]

cyber industry

[bleak quartz]

Now think about this

[quick blaze]

#cyber-and-careers

tbf, don't ask to ask, just ask

[rapid merlin]

Wbu? I got all bronze first before I even touched the others

[quick blaze]

4 silvers, 2 gold, 2 bronze

[bleak quartz]

2.1k for those courses etc or 14k a year for uni in some overpaid outdated private uni lol

[quick blaze]

no 0 tix rooms yet

[sage lion]

Which one cost the most

[bleak quartz]

That's the question

Haha

[quick blaze]

finished my assignments, gonna work on me presentations then head to bed -- will grind the rooms after i get home

[rapid merlin]

I filled up my bronze first before anything else

[quick blaze]

oop

[sage lion]

I got 8 and spent like 1.1k

[quick blaze]

i didn't realize the bronze one could be filled an n number of times so...

[rapid merlin]

Tryhackme is making me study extra for all the months I bunked lmao

[quick blaze]

i've still been getting silvers and golds so..

[gusty inlet]

Search for Dragkob

[bleak quartz]

So happy to be in a welfare state where uni is 100% free to enroll in

[gusty inlet]

CRTO

eCPPT

[bleak quartz]

Books cost but that's all u gotta pay for

[gusty inlet]

Same price.

[quick blaze]

so true

[sage lion]

Oh yeah those are expensive

[bleak quartz]

Holy moly

[bleak quartz]

No sleep for the wicked

[rapid merlin]

@bleak quartz I’ve got time to view your profile now

[sage lion]

Mine was sec+ for like 300 💔

[bleak quartz]

Haha alr

[bleak quartz]

Bro

You paid full price

??

Why

😭

They got sales every damn other month

I think last month was a sale too

[sage lion]

I got the acad voucher so probably less than 300

Can’t remember the exact price

[half onyx]

This PT1 exam is kicking my butt. Thankfully almost done 🙌

[half onyx]

Ask your job to reimburse you. Some will

I’m getting the PT1 exam reimbursed through my job

[bleak quartz]

U think you're going to pass?

[half onyx]

I’m pretty freaking close

[fervent cove]

i hope to get a voucher from this event then have my job 'reimburse' me

[bleak quartz]

Keep me updated

[half onyx]

Straight up theft in broad daylight

[bleak quartz]

I hope to get a laptop

So I can sell the laptop

And buy vouchers

We're not the same

[half onyx]

Each voucher gives you 2 takes

[bleak quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-brain-meme-big-brain-big-brain-meme-big-brain-time-gif-2441110471562975014

[rapid merlin]

My laptop broke 😭 funny thing is I’m sure last event another laptop broke.

[half onyx]

If I get the laptop it’s going in my homelab

[bleak quartz]

Same

Ofc I'm not selling it lol

Joking

[half onyx]

I need kumpute lows

Powa

[bleak quartz]

Except if it's a hella good one

Like 3k worthy or sum which it prob is not

But if it is, ofc I would sell it to buy courses and vouchers

And get a cheap laptop

[half onyx]

Fr. Tbh if I get it I’ll probably just use it as a hacking playground

[bleak quartz]

Ye

[half onyx]

I already got a homelab cluster going

[bleak quartz]

Pt1 or sal1 voucher would do me wonders

[half onyx]

The test is not “beginner” friendly

Even if it says so

Definitely study up

[bleak quartz]

Not a complete beginner haha

I've been around for a bit

[half onyx]

I was reading online that even vets were having a struggle

[bleak quartz]

Eh

[half onyx]

It’s a real pentesting scenario. No guidelines

[bleak quartz]

Mm

[fervent cove]

oof i thought itd be just like a junior penetration tester path box

[bleak quartz]

Lol

No

[half onyx]

It’s like.. here is an app. Pentest it. And you’d think it’d be easy

[half onyx]

Nope lmao. That’s what I thought

I’m barely gonna scrape by haha

[bleak quartz]

It's not the easiest thing for sure but sounds like a lot of fun and I'm 100% down to practice more and more for it

[half onyx]

You gotta write up a whole pen test report for it too

[bleak quartz]

I just can't afford all the expensive certs as a student haha

[half onyx]

Will your work reimburse you?

[bleak quartz]

Got none

[fervent cove]

is it actually taking u the full 48hours

[half onyx]

Rip

[bleak quartz]

I mean how tf could I

[half onyx]

How old are u

[bleak quartz]

Just no time

[half onyx]

Yeah fr. I even struggled working full time in college. Luckily they paid for my degree and certs

[bleak quartz]

Webscapers OSINTing 😭 let's say 18+

[half onyx]

Makes sense. Ask your parents for reimbursement haha

[sage lion]

Still in school

[bleak quartz]

Wrong symbol oops

[sage lion]

That was like 2 years ago tho

Every other cert was like 250 max

[bleak quartz]

No

[half onyx]

Props to you for starting young

[rapid merlin]

RIP my brain has died. I said work sock three times trying to read SOC workbooks

[bleak quartz]

Gotta do it with my own money

[half onyx]

We love hustlers

[half onyx]

Keep it up and you’ll be way ahead when you’re my age

[fervent cove]

[half onyx]

About to turn 26 in a few days

[fervent cove]

[half onyx]

Ikr someone gotta be the next boomer

[fervent cove]

[bleak quartz]

Yup, everyday even if I don't feel like it at least 1 hour to cyber

[half onyx]

Read books about cyber if your really low on motivation

Easy to read

hi

[proven lark]

why does it only give me disgusting bronze tickets

[rapid merlin]

This is what lack of sleep is doing to me

[rapid merlin]

I filled up bronze before anything

[proven lark]

does it give u only silver after this?

or keeps giving u bronze?

[quick blaze]

its okay stealth i'm sure we have the same amount of white hair. 👍🏽

[proven lark]

@rapid merlin

[rapid merlin]

When you’ve completed bronze you should move onto the others

As I do believe you can’t refill bronze

[proven lark]

thanks bro

[rapid merlin]

Nu uhhhh I started going grey at 18

[quick blaze]

🤝

i'm white at 18

[fervent cove]

nah thats not how it works

[rapid merlin]

My mum would say “You stress yourself out”

[fervent cove]

tickets are random, bronze is just the most likely for you to get

[quick blaze]

i wonder why...
