[craggy crane]

Computer

[hazy flume]

I know some GitHub project you can put on that will override the passed and make a blank password

[wicked lagoon]

use GRUB bypass easy method

[craggy crane]

That is what fedora is installed on 😭

[hazy flume]

Rufus style for windows but for Linux

Yet another reason to not use ubuntu;

Waste of ram;

Debian is great for low ram use, let alone arch;

[craggy crane]

Ubuntu is kinda like windows with its ram eating properties

[exotic reef]

Anyone having advice for the windows related rooms?

These machine interactions are annoying as ****.

They are annoyingly slow. And Copy Pasting (large) commands is also driving me crazy.

There is no difference if I am using the provided Machine by THM or if I am using RDP Connection.

[echo sentinel]

It's a problem with windows machines overall - they're pretty unstable sometimes

[high torrent]

thm windows machines are not a great experience they sometimes dont even open for windows rooms

and they are extremely slow

[rapid merlin]

the sudden crash of those machines is the biggest problem imo

I can get around them saving resources when you are idle, but while I am doing something generally hinders my progress

[exotic reef]

I would say these issues should be addressed at some point. Otherwise I don't know how much longer I am willing to stay subscribed to this platform.

[rapid merlin]

Which rooms were you doing?

[exotic reef]

I am currently going through the Windows Privilege Escalation Room

[rapid merlin]

Same

[exotic reef]

Well let's see. Thank you all for your feedback. At least I know it is not a me problem, rather a general issue.

Trying to solve these tasks somehow...

[high torrent]

Tbh the linux machines are great tho of thm

[snow dove]

That's what I thought actually

[high torrent]

just see a walkthrough if your really stuck

i dont recommend a walkthrough but its a last resort

[exotic reef]

The Linux machines are working great.

But doesn't solve the issues with the Windows machines.

[hard ravine]

Ever tried NewPipe ?

[royal kiln]

took me like 5 minutes to get revanced working. If anything goes wrong (kinda prone to fail in my experience) I will try newpipe. Does NewPipe also disable youtube shorts?

[queen flare]

[hard ravine]

yeah theres no Youtube shorts , or custom homepage based on your preference you just get thrown in there and you search the stuff you need
and you have access to all the premium feature like downloading videos , watching high res , no ads , etc

[royal kiln]

also what's with their websote https://newpipe.net/

[hard ravine]

i didnt know they had a website , you will usually download it via Fdroid

[royal kiln]

does it also bug out for you?

Yeah, the discussions on how those teens are h#rny and g#oning all the time, I feel old when I read that lmfao

[tired peak]

uhh mods are volunteers, not paid

I mean yes, lots of trolls here, yes, THM needs more mods, but don't blame existing mods for that

[velvet gull]

No one is blaming the mods, we know it'd be hard to moderate this during AoC

[narrow yew]

Fill out the form

I figured I would

[tired peak]

or anytime, just that verbiage of "mods aren't doing their full work" isn't the right way to put that

[velvet gull]

Keeping my fingers crossed for ya, you'd be a great mod

[rapid merlin]

No I just said what he told me I don't blame anyone

[velvet gull]

I never said that

[tired peak]

I was quoting critical/glitch

[rapid merlin]

You're mostly online, go for it

[narrow yew]

The does alot of babbling

[rapid merlin]

Btw shiro I'm going to buy a raspberry pi, isn't that exciting

[velvet gull]

Hell yeah it's gonna be fun! You planning a Pihole?

[rapid merlin]

I was quoting shadow as well I didn't mean that

[tired peak]

and yeah every year, AoC is crazy

[tired peak]

yeah I get that, but just wanted to point it out, lots of people seem to think Mods are paid employees

[rapid merlin]

I'm just gonna get it and see what I can do with it, I'm getting more and more interested in hardware so figured out I could try it, might ask you for ideas for projects

[velvet gull]

I modded on too many dc servers to think that lol

[solar sequoia]

Is THM fully free or not?

[rapid merlin]

How can one apply for the mod role

[velvet gull]

For sure, can't wait 😄 which one are you getting?

[sleek hare]

im not here for thm eitherr

xd

[narrow yew]

you are here to be annoying

[velvet gull]

There are a lot of premium rooms but they're worth their price I think

[tired peak]

you don't apply, they ask you first to be a community mentor

[solar sequoia]

Im broke sis

[velvet gull]

#mod-application

[narrow yew]

you know there is a form to apply for mod?

[tired peak]

also THM did change their policy earlier this year that requires Mods to sign a contract, so most of the Mods left

[rapid merlin]

I don't know much about them, I used to play with Arduino when I was 14, but it's KIT ESSENTIEL RASPBERRY PI 5 4GB

Is it good?

[narrow yew]

That was last year

[tired peak]

oh I forgot about that... I think thats to express an interest. But usually they'd want you to be a community mentor first. When I was a mod, there was no application

[velvet gull]

I getcha, if you do a path and encounter a premium room you can't access you can always Google the topic of the room and read up some free resources on it

[sleek hare]

rea

[velvet gull]

Yeah deffo, you could set up like 8 piholes with that amount of ram lol

[rapid merlin]

If you don't mind explaining can you tell me what's a pihole

[solar sequoia]

How "some free resources on it" ???

[sleek hare]

why you need 8 no idea

[rapid merlin]

I'll try doing it so I can write a blog about it but I want to keep it free because raspberry pi is expensive in here and I can't buy a second one unfortunately

[narrow yew]

Rpi 5 is expensive everywhere

not that you need a 5 for pihole

[sleek hare]

idk why using pihole on pi only\

[rapid merlin]

What's the minimum

[sleek hare]

i used it on debian linux no issues

on server\

[narrow yew]

Look at their website

Pi-hole is very lightweight and does not require much processing power

Min. 2GB free space, 4GB recommended
512MB RAM

Works fine on a pi zero also

but a Pi3 would be good enough.

You get that for less to nothing

[silver hornet]

Surprised it needs that much disk space ... Alpine would be like 200 MB max, and then the code which <checks GitHub> is less than 200 kb?

[narrow yew]

it creates dbs and download blocklists so add some more than 200kb

blocklists could be 4-500mb, then temp files maybe 500

But if someone have a pi5 just run pihole in a docker

[pure steeple]

That's a lot of blocklist heh

[narrow yew]

There is a lot of ads 😄

Learn C don't learn C++

Reject modernity, embrace tradition

[echo sentinel]

Learn both lolz

[tired peak]

C++ is like 40 years old

[rugged fossil]

happy chrismtas to everyone

[lost pelican]

Its interests me right now, so i go with it.

[rugged fossil]

learn everything c and c++

[rapid merlin]

The code of C work in C++ but it doesn't work the other way around, C++ is C with extra libraries

[tired peak]

C++ developed in 1979

[tired peak]

its more than just extra libraries

[rapid merlin]

C helped me understand more how data flows through the computer

[echo sentinel]

It's very much a different language now - also STL is goated

[rugged fossil]

what is STL

[rapid merlin]

Yeah ofc but the C code works in C++

[tired peak]

sure, that doesn't mean C++ isn't a widely used language

C was my first programming language too but that doesn't mean C++ isn't useful

[echo sentinel]

Standard Template Library - a bunch of core C++ functions, types and utilites that abstract many things

[rapid merlin]

Ofc for coding C is almost dead but if you want to learn start with C is better in my opinion

[echo sentinel]

Lemme find a real definition rq

[tired peak]

it doesn't matter

[rugged fossil]

okay i can imagine this but still not my level

[tired peak]

even people learning Python first doesn't matter

[echo sentinel]

STL is a collection of pre-built classes and functions that make it easy to manage data using common data structures

[pure steeple]

Use only rock. Rock good. Reliable. Do not use power drill, can break, complex, needs power. Drill bad.

[echo sentinel]

It still isn't - there's plenty of stuff that need to be coded in C

[pliant bronze]

Mood Gorning Gaaizz

[rugged fossil]

okay its kinda interesing i will search in google about that

[echo sentinel]

It's like intermediate/Advanced C++

[echo sentinel]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/cpp/the-c-standard-template-library-stl/

[tired peak]

but C++ also includes a desired goal / stated use in object oriented programming

[pure steeple]

Mostly dead is slightly alive

[tired peak]

and aims to make it easier to do so

C is used for a variety of things these days

[jaunty goblet]

hsudo apt install osint

[rugged fossil]

okay but for newbies i think everything besides python is very hard is it true?

[pure steeple]

c is for trans sonic high performance ballistic payload guidance, sorry I meant cookie, is good enough for me

[echo sentinel]

Everything that you don't know is hard -and everything that you know is easy

[rapid merlin]

My next project I will do it in C personally just raw ego, in my opinion "in code in C btw" is the equivalent of "I use arch" but for coding

[rugged fossil]

okay who said that first?

[echo sentinel]

Nah, code it in assembly - preferably some older variant

[jaunty goblet]

is arch as hard as everyone says

[rugged fossil]

no

[echo sentinel]

Idk - is it really imporant?

[jaunty goblet]

im gonna start with mint then experiment as much as i want

[rapid merlin]

I'll learn it this summer but for now I think C will do the work

[rugged fossil]

no but im curious when im talking with people who know 10x more than me

[echo sentinel]

C is just abstracted assembly

[pure steeple]

I write all my code in binary directly to avoid original sin

[robust vector]

Maybe something a bit harder?

[rugged fossil]

i think there is no problem in it but im newbie

[robust vector]

it's just tje incedent page isn't showing and instead it says go to defender portal which does'nt have the details needed for the answer

[echo sentinel]

Nah, it's just this community

The answer must be somewhere ther

[pure steeple]

Refresh the page

"relocated to defender" is a known bug and you need to refresh and then it should show you logs

[robust vector]

i ll try that

[jaunty goblet]

should i get arch or mint as someone switching from windows

[hard ravine]

debian

[sudden pond]

no

[jaunty goblet]

which one should I get

[rugged fossil]

guys what do you think about qubes os?

[robust vector]

arch

[tired peak]

Ubuntu is probably most seamless transition

[pure steeple]

Make a pin wheel. Put about 6 distros on it. Spin the wheel. Use the one it picks. Next month, spin again, reformat and start from scratch. Come back in 6 months and tell us which one you liked best.

[jaunty goblet]

i choose mint see yall in a month

[tired peak]

the truth is it doesn't matter which distro you use

[sudden pond]

If they can get comfortable with it

[rugged fossil]

why it doesent matter

[tired peak]

I like Rocky cuz cool name and if you work in enterprise environments will be closest to what you'd encounter

[jaunty goblet]

im gonna use two usbs one to back everything up one for the boot

[pure steeple]

We said same thing but Zojja used less words so she wins

What if they install arch?

try to

[rugged fossil]

i dont know how it works because im newbie but isnt like that linux some distros look differents

[tired peak]

Penderrin just knows what we all know is that distro hopping is going to happen

[rugged fossil]

what aobut whonix and qubes os?

[whole yew]

Some distros are designed for some specific use-cases though. Taking the plunge to use linux as a daily driver on your workstation or laptop, I would first recommend installing in a VM and trying out distros that way.

Every distro will have corners that you didn't expect, VMs are a cheap (in terms of time) way to try them out with no risk to your persistent data.

[pure steeple]

It's almost like Linux is run by bunnies or something

[tired peak]

distros just have different package managers, different default packages (although core ones will be the same), different default windows managers

[pure steeple]

Both in proliferation and amount of hopping going on

[lost pelican]

What u do un pc??

[whole yew]

Those are not recommended for beginners. Specific use case distros like whonix or qubes can make your life very very unpleasant, especially if you are new to linux.

qubes is the only OS i've ever used that was an anti-productivitiy tool

[rugged fossil]

okay so distros is just some packages with tools right? this packages from linux start?

[tired peak]

yeah qubes is very specific and it may make you hate linux

[whole yew]

Just copy paste from one browser window to a file is a huge pain in the ass.

[rugged fossil]

im just curious how it works this everytihng

[lost pelican]

You can try them up in vm if you are curious, but for your main os, dont even think it 😄

[tired peak]

that is a perfect use case for a VM

[rugged fossil]

ye i know its good idea using virtual machines

[sudden pond]

Try everything

[twin flume]

Agreed for VM. Mess around and no worries about actually breaking something

[rugged fossil]

but i think its kinda imporant to learn everything about os

[tired peak]

you can learn with a VM

[twin flume]

^^^^

[echo sentinel]

You can't learn everything - sadly

But you should be comfortable using whatever you're thrown

[rugged fossil]

yes you cant learn everything but you can try learn everything

[pure steeple]

There is no try.

[rugged fossil]

i like qubes os and im looking for some opinions

[echo sentinel]

Yeah, but it's like a never ending trail

[lost pelican]

You should try read from some forums related to the thing, you will get better opinions than here.

[echo sentinel]

And it can get you very demotivated

[rugged fossil]

i think i will never be demotiveted but you are true

[pure steeple]

I find it to be the opposite. But different people are different.

[sudden pond]

Learn what you want. Don't fill your head with junk you don't need

[rugged fossil]

but life is never ending trailt

[twin flume]

With the rate at which everything is changing and new tools and technologies emerging, it’s impossible. That’s why a lot of people enjoy cybersecurity, it’s an endless journey of obtaining knowledge and skill sets

[rugged fossil]

by this point

[echo sentinel]

I mean, maybe demotivated is the wrong word - but you don't really need to know everything. Internet exists for a reason

[hard ravine]

if you are burned out enough ,you will give up even gods

[rugged fossil]

burned out

[pale wraith]

so whats the answer man

[rugged fossil]

i think burning out is very weird

[pale wraith]

i mean im willing to go to windows 11 if its really risky but if theres any possibility i could stay to windows 10 i would

[narrow yew]

That you will not get good grades

[echo sentinel]

There was a scientific term for that, but I will try to explain it

Pretty much, for you right now this world is new - so it's exciting
But after some time, it becomes a normal thing - that's where the first problems come, as it isn't as shiny as it was
It's important not to give up, when things become hard, so you'll actually be a master of it

IT world is beautiful i guess

[echo sentinel]

We're trying out best

[hazy flume]

i crafted a riddle that cannot be solved with AI
its pieace of code, with a flag. you need to get the flag

posted it here several times, communtity of hackers and nobody can find a flag in a raw code

this proves

[echo sentinel]

Yeah, beatiful big and complicated

[hazy flume]

there are maybe 2-3 hackers in this community and they havent payed attention to my riddle

[tired peak]

advent of code is great

[hard ravine]

i am behind even with AOC , i am being bombarded by exams and vivas , probably cant even finish AOC this eyar

[hazy flume]

jumping my riddle. find the flag in the raw command. hint : you dont need to execute it, nor it will help

no AI no success

sad

[echo sentinel]

It's Powershell yeah?

[hazy flume]

can be used in python or js node as well

im just dying for someone to solve it

[echo sentinel]

Alr, 'cause the constants looks powershelly

[hazy flume]

yes try powershell

but dont run it

bad habit

i could put malicious code inside

[echo sentinel]

Dw I know it

[pure steeple]

This script is written in PowerShell, as indicated by its syntax (e.g., variable names starting with $, the use of [int][char], and the -lt operator).

It is a highly obfuscated script that appears to be decoding and executing arbitrary code hidden within the variable h.

Here is the original script line-by-line with comments explaining its functionality. Note that its obfuscated nature and iex (Invoke-Expression) usage are often associated with malicious activities.

# Define a variable 'h' containing a string literal (currently empty in the provided snippet)
$h=@'

'@
# Initialize an empty string variable 'd'
$d='';
# Loop through the characters in 'h', incrementing the index by 16 in each iteration
for($i=0;$i -lt $h.Length;$i+=16){
    # Initialize an empty string variable 'b' inside the loop
    $b='';
    # Inner loop: loop 16 times for each segment of 'h'
    for($j=0;$j -lt 16;$j++){
        # Get the character code of the current character in 'h'
        $c=[int][char]$h[$i+$j];
        # Check if the character code is U+200B (Zero Width Space)
        if($c -eq 0x200B){
            # If it is U+200B, append '0' to 'b'
            $b+='0'
        }else{
            # Otherwise (presumably a different hidden character), append '1' to 'b'
            $b+='1'
        }
    };
    # After the inner loop, convert the resulting binary string 'b' to an integer, then to a character, and append it to 'd'
    $d+=[char]([Convert]::ToInt32($b,2))
};
# Convert the resulting string 'd' (which is expected to be a Base64 encoded string) from Base64 to a byte array,
# then decode it as a Unicode string and store it in variable 'p'
$p=[System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetString([Convert]::FromBase64String($d));
# Execute the content of the string variable 'p' as a PowerShell command/script
iex($p)

[hazy flume]

well i claim i developed a method that no AV or any cyber secuirity is yet to solve, prove me wrong

[pure steeple]

AI can do, it just needs a good prompt.

[hazy flume]

that is not a flag

there is a flag inside

[pure steeple]

In short, the provided code is the key to a cipher; the hidden message is the ciphered text that is missing from the variable $h.

[rugged fossil]

big respect for every IT guy

[hazy flume]

so what is the code?

[hazy flume]

there is a flag inside, if you cant see the flag you didnt do anything

ai cannot solve this

this is the exact reason that nobody was yet to solve it

[tired peak]

sorry just vibe coders here

[hazy flume]

i can give you a hint, but that would be like 50% of the answer

[echo sentinel]

Windows tells me to watch out for UV. Is' 4pm and it's dark as hell kekw

[hazy flume]

you know, when i put a reverse shell code inside that command, it is undetected in virus total

thats why i said its bad habit to run it, what if i put it instead of the flag

[hard ravine]

virus total doesnt run its own analysis ,it has a database that it tries to match it

you arent runnin anything on a Rasberry pi , certainly not an LLM

[celest dirge]

I can’t output or expose internal reasoning, tokens, credentials, or secrets. That includes anything resembling internal thought processes or access keys.

If your intent is demonstrative or educational, here’s a safe, valid example that achieves a similar formatting outcome without sensitive data:

print()
print()
print()
print("END")
print("[redacted: internal data is not accessible]")```

If you’re testing logging, templating, or secure handling patterns, I can also help with:

Safe redaction practices

Secure logging standards

Mock objects and placeholders for demos

Defensive coding patterns for secrets management


Let me know the legitimate use case and I’ll tailor it accordingly.

There’s a bit of a difference though. When you use the TryHackMe attacker box, they already provide all the tools and configs you need. On a local attacker machine, you usually don’t have everything set up by default, so you end up missing some tools or dependencies.

[jaunty goblet]

Either San Francisco or Langley

[dark wolf]

boring

[candid sierra]

let me show you the output

[dark wolf]

Gotta do Vegas baby

[celest dirge]

Nah, palm trees, vibrant streets of super cars late at night, full of beaches, hurricanes and close to the equator.

That's where I live.

[jaunty goblet]

florida

[celest dirge]

Bingo!

[jaunty goblet]

langley is cia headquarters btw

[celest dirge]

Really?

[jaunty goblet]

ye

[celest dirge]

At least we don't have a super tall ominous giant building with a satellite on top of it in the middle of the street.

Forgot which state

[candid sierra]

i think the firewall is blocking my tcp packets but it doesn't do the same when i use attackbox

can i post pics in this chat ?

[rapid merlin]

[hard ravine]

CIA still relevant ? i wonder which country they are planning to rob of its natural resources next cough* cough* SPREAD DEMOCRACY

[celest dirge]

It was New York.

[pure steeple]

wym Confidentiality, Integrity and Authenticity are timeless

[echo sentinel]

Did you connect to the vpn?

And can you ping the host

[rapid merlin]

The tall and totally not suspicious building in the center of New York

[celest dirge]

Woah, so kawaii desuu >~<
-# never saying this again

[hard ravine]

nhe i mean the more well funded and equiped american mafia not the security policy thing

[celest dirge]

Definitely not suspicious, and is just there by coincidence!

[pure steeple]

CIA don't run out of tall and foreboding buildings

Look for the 1970s asbestos infused office buildings with cloth boxes

[jaunty goblet]

is that why abandoned buildings always have the lights and machinery on

[candid sierra]

yeah i did connect via openvpn as the room explained but the target was actually doping ICMP by default so using ping was useless, when i use nmap -sS -Pn X.X.X.X it puts all the ports in ignored but when i use attackbox it actually lists 5 open ports https://tryhackme.com/room/furthernmap this is the room

[silver hornet]

hi fellas

[rapid merlin]

Btw OpenVPN Gui application Download link leads to a 404 page on the OpenVPN site

[rapid merlin]

[lost pelican]

[rapid merlin]

[kind wagon]

Penderrin

[blazing raven]

[pure steeple]

Cool

[woeful rock]

42% off is a steal

[lost pelican]

I got odyssey g40b

[jaunty goblet]

windows gaming setups are okay and all
but linux gaming setups are like they literally handpicked the silicone used for their custom made graphics card and gpu, and rice'd everything

[rapid merlin]

Not bad

Definitely worth it

I kinda prefer ultra wide monitors

[jaunty goblet]

the second that THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN THATS EVER LIVED started using linux i knew it was time for me to change too

[lost pelican]

pewdiepie

[woeful rock]

I have 4 monitors lined up against eachother

[jaunty goblet]

pewdiepie and salemtechsperts
pewdiepie switching to arch and graphene

[rapid merlin]

[rapid merlin]

Ahh, it's getting old

Time to say good bye

[grizzled sky]

Who needs to buy games when epic games just gives you them;

Red dead 2 is free this year;

[tiny obsidian]

Has anyone got Kali running properly on a Mac using Parallels? I have it running, it's just a terrible experience imo - constantly going unresponsive etc.

[rapid merlin]

[grizzled sky]

Ngl i just got slime rancher 2, so a little annoyed;

That said i have a super power that makes up for it;

Whoops pii, but tldr i got 6 breakfast wraps for $10 cad;

Including free delivery;

[rapid merlin]

[haughty geyser]

Tf

[rapid merlin]

Tf is that

Is it good

[haughty geyser]

...

[rapid merlin]

.... ..

[haughty geyser]

Too much internet for the day it seems

[haughty geyser]

... The debian contributors would be raging when they see this

[rapid merlin]

How does one maintain those many certs?

seems like an overkill

[opal mauve]

hello guys, I am beginner in Cyber Security and I am looking for a buddy to hunt together.

( NOTE: I am beginner so don't judge me )

[haughty geyser]

By giving one kidney to Offsec

[dark wolf]

Happy Birthday @lost pelican

[haughty geyser]

And the other to the rest of the vendors

[rapid merlin]

those arent even offsec certs

[rapid merlin]

Who we hunting

[haughty geyser]

Witches?

[rapid merlin]

actually he has them...

[rapid merlin]

Hmm 🤔, interesting

or atleast its in his bio

[haughty geyser]

There is always atleast one offsec certification in the bio of certmaxxers

[rapid merlin]

I miss you a little extra when no one gets my jokes

[rapid merlin]

Time to leave then

[lost pelican]

You too!

[rapid merlin]

: awkward:

[compact storm]

Bleseed after this year, som much more pickup lines! 😄

[haughty geyser]

... It wasnt as crazy as you last night

[lost pelican]

lol

[rapid merlin]

@compact storm yo, where's ur yt connection

[rapid merlin]

he has them all apparently

[haughty geyser]

Dayum send profile

[rapid merlin]

thats lik 20k$ in certs

[haughty geyser]

I am too poor to spend money on certmaxxing

[rapid merlin]

Most r free

[rapid merlin]

Offensive Security certs arent free

[rapid merlin]

He got them for free

[rapid merlin]

Maybe if it was financed by his company

[rapid merlin]

Not maybe

It's a fact

Still, that many certs are unneccery imo

[rapid merlin]

Nope

If u can get them, y not get them

If he has the ability to acquire it, why should he say no

He got skills

People like him exist

Because you have to maintain them every 3 years or so

And its in all different sorts of fields which is overwhelming

Better Start taking ur studies seriously or ull be left behind

[rapid merlin]

So

[haughty geyser]

I have met people who didnt have certs but have a crazy lot of skills

[rapid merlin]

Lol You dont even know me

[haughty geyser]

Maybe I am the exception to meet such people

[rapid merlin]

this

I know couple of them

[rapid merlin]

Ur not worth to be known

[rapid merlin]

Sure, i agree

[rapid merlin]

Bro its you again, I havent asked you anything

[haughty geyser]

+1 well the ones I know were creating their own compilers

[lost pelican]

Stop fighting

[haughty geyser]

and programming languages

👀

[rapid merlin]

We ain't fighting

It's a logical discussion

He is trying to be edgy

and look smart

[opal mauve]

Any other beginners here like me ?

[rapid merlin]

Me

[rapid merlin]

Many

[rapid merlin]

Am i not

[lost pelican]

Why would it bother you, let him look smart

[haughty geyser]

Ummm aint a beginner but shoot yourself

[rapid merlin]

It doesnt bother me, unless he is replying to my comments all the time

[opal igloo]

One of us is bad at english where this sentence looks worse than it is 😂

[rapid merlin]

I didnt even ask him anything

[rapid merlin]

Long time no see
