[onyx quarry]

5G????

[exotic nova]

I feel like The Wandering Compass and PAL would work well together. Joint exploring.

[stable plover]

I appreciate your help!

[median brook]

My 5G got much better after I got my covid shot

And my Bill Gates tattoo is coming in nicely

[shy smelt]

Can't wait for WiFi brain chips

[onyx quarry]

👀

[thorny trail]

ye olde 5G on hither LGG7

[onyx quarry]

does it include all the outlandish headlines about his divorce proceedings

[vital hinge]

yo if 2 vaccinated people come together do you think internet explorer will be faster?

[onyx quarry]

I've clicked on articles online that were not outlandish, and not about the divorce proceedings, and they rapidly devolved into an article about that and

I felt so TRICKED

[thorny trail]

It's just gonna be the B-Movie script tattoo only about Bill Gates being divorced

[onyx quarry]

Not here for that content

[exotic nova]

I don’t think anything will make internet explorer fast

[onyx quarry]

I still have to use internet explorer for work ;_;

[median brook]

Wha..........?

[exotic nova]

I feel for you.

[flint tundra]

Eww gross!

[median brook]

I don't think I've ever felt so sorry

What are these.. feelings..

[onyx quarry]

Some app we use -- AND that has RECENTLY been upgraded and migrated -- apparently just breaks outside IE

[thorny trail]

IE was my first browser so I still like it a lot haha. Also I know some companies use edge for work. Honestly edge isn't that bad, I think it has decent speed. Just everyone uses google more

[vital hinge]

gives you more time for cinnamon toast

[onyx quarry]

Underfunded gov work

[median brook]

IE was a lot of people's first.. IE's body count..

[shy smelt]

[stable plover]

[thorny trail]

Husband: "This is my wife, and this is my wife's wife"

[flint tundra]

They knew NOTHING. It was appalling! I went in to try and clean up the comp, which was at least 17 years old, and I swear they had 15 year old files in there.

[stable plover]

Maya you can make the Jam for the wedding

[thorny trail]

They heard you in a raid and said "oh hey it's Maya from IT"

[shy smelt]

U can only marry someone with same TV subtitle preferences

[vital hinge]

oh is that law?

[median brook]

Bruh what

[onyx quarry]

"Nobody knows what this ish is, but I can't let them know that I don't know. So we gotta keep it forever and ever in case it is actually important..."

[thorny trail]

As someone who's hard of hearing I constantly need subtitles for my shows and movies

[shy smelt]

That's the law tbh

[stable plover]

I fought the law, and the law .... ?

[flint tundra]

I will make the bestest jam for you!!! And Jimrah and I will make the wedding cake! A lovely Victoria Sponge!

[sleek skiff]

subtitles [ON]

[shy smelt]

I'm a bit blind and a bit deaf I need volume and subtitles kek

[vital hinge]

subtitles [ON]

[onyx quarry]

I always watch with closed captions. Sometimes stuff is missed or someone is trying to talk at me while I am BUSY

[median brook]

subtitles [ON]

[flint tundra]

Bafoon manager had literally saved everything to desk top. It looked like pixel art.

[median brook]

WHY DID I TYPE THAT WHEN I COULD COPY PASTE?!

[shy smelt]

[median brook]

Thanks friends..

[shy smelt]

For real have you ever been on a date and they watch with no subtitles because it annoys them

[flint tundra]

AND THE WHOLE COMPANY WAS ACTIVELY USING FAX MACHINES! What the heck century is this???

[thorny trail]

I think that's why I like anime a lot bc it's almost always subtitled and it's like "Thanks fam"

[ruby kelp]

You're welcome! I do tech support for a living rn

[onyx quarry]

don't worry, Microsoft is bringing back clippy

[vital hinge]

[median brook]

I never went on a date with my current SO until after we were together

[vital hinge]

[shy smelt]

Tru tru

[thorny trail]

For a serious answer I just gotta say that it never really "felt right", and I wanna date someone who I plan to go the long haul for, not just a "oh let's date for the winter and that's it" thing

[stable plover]

I am a big hugger

The older you get, the less age matters. It's just about who you connect with. ❤️

Still though.. RAWR!

[uneven sierra]

Awe so cute!

[thorny trail]

Probably why the gals at the retirement home kept giving me sultry eyes

[onyx quarry]

This wee bebe kitten ^^

Age is just a number! 😁

Boi..

[thorny trail]

:v

[onyx quarry]

Are you a resident there?

[median brook]

hahaha

[flint tundra]

They'll treat you like gold!

[thorny trail]

Sadly at the age of 23, I have long been too old for this world.

[uneven sierra]

You are you as old as you feel! ☺️

[onyx quarry]

They always said he was an old soul

[median brook]

^

[thorny trail]

I'm not an old soul, I'm an eldritch horror inside.

[median brook]

I'm gonna live forever, I'm over 5000 years old and feel like new

[vital hinge]

what if I'm 25, feel 50 but look 18

🤔

[thorny trail]

Dang, you saw Lincoln

[uneven sierra]

Looooool

[sleek skiff]

when we got together i just..didnt even think about the age difference. like it didnt even cross my mind until like a year later lol

[median brook]

that.. that's what you take out of 5000 years?

[uneven sierra]

Don’t let age get to you guys! It’s just a number us humans created aha 🙃

[onyx quarry]

Berry is a GOD

[shy smelt]

Sames although I still get asked for ID to buy something 16 year olds can here smh

[thorny trail]

I'm gonna ask about the things off the top of my head, so yes

[median brook]

Not like.. the roman empire, or something?

Jesus?

[vital hinge]

i put the ID on the alcohol at this point, straight out in front of me everytime

[median brook]

Lincoln

[thorny trail]

Yes.

[thorny trail]

More specifically the car

[shy smelt]

I was buying some paracetamol and they were like nope ID 😂

[median brook]

I'm sorry that was very funny

[flint tundra]

Sometimes I feel like I'm aging backwards. The older I get, the younger I behave. I think every passing year just builds my confidence and makes me feel like I can accomplish more. I worried a lot when I was a kid and missed out on a lot of things, so I decided to never grow up. But my bills are paid and I work hard, so it balances out.

[thorny trail]

😂

[onyx quarry]

I used to work in healthcare (remotely, not in the facilities) and ngl, there were rampant sex fiends in the assisted living facilities.

[shy smelt]

Confidence def comes with age!

[median brook]

[vital hinge]

I got stopped at a costco cause they thought I was too young for executive membership 😂

[thorny trail]

[onyx quarry]

The doctor would call me and be like MR SO AND SO WAS WITH ANOTHER WOMAN THIS TIME

[thorny trail]

I've heard that there can be cases of STD's in the elderly because of this 😂

[onyx quarry]

Yes, crabs etc are frequent diagnoses

[shy smelt]

Omg

[thorny trail]

😖

[median brook]

I used to have this "looking to young" problem but tattoo's very quickly changed that.. still babyface but biker arms so.. yeee

[uneven sierra]

Apparently if you have a stroke, and it affects certain brain faculties, you just become an old horndog

[median brook]

Everyone take a moment to let it sink in that the 90s was 30 years ago

[onyx quarry]

That is the scientific and medical terms for it

[onyx quarry]

I AM A CHILD OF THE 80s

[thorny trail]

Jeezus I don't even know what to say about that

[shy smelt]

Bring back the 90s

[flint tundra]

Honestly, a lot of those cases are just because of the old school mentality of not educating people on basic biological junk. Some pensioners literally just don't know better.

[onyx quarry]

I can't stand this Too

[thorny trail]

Oofy

[uneven sierra]

What what?

[fickle lava]

I was born late 80s but I loved the late 90s and early 2000s

[onyx quarry]

just returning some cool if not gruesome facts about humans xD

[median brook]

I like facts, facts are what I feed on to live forever

[thorny trail]

I'm not complaining that's really interesting to know lol

[fickle lava]

Man actually early 90s as well. Such fun things and movies

[median brook]

Preach..

[thorny trail]

Also speaking of medical stuff, the scariest random thing you can ever have happen to you is a brain aneurysm

[fickle lava]

And from my older sister and cousin, I learned to appreciate their stuff, like 80s music and cartoons

[thorny trail]

I love 80's music haha. Been listening to a lot of bands as of late like Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Journey

[median brook]

I got all the 60s, 70s, 80s from my father, 90s and forward I got to enjoy myself

[flint tundra]

My first job was at an elderly care home. So many wonderful stories, but in the process you'll find a lot of old wives tales and backwards concepts never got corrected in some people.

[vital hinge]

i get a brain aneurysm everyday wym

[median brook]

I mean, I was around.. for all of it

[fickle lava]

I'm happy I was old enough to remember a lot of great animated Disney movies that came out

Yeah I like a lot of 70s music bc of my mom

[shy smelt]

The best bands

[thorny trail]

Does anyone remember Ed, Edd, Eddy

[median brook]

OH BOY DO I

[shy smelt]

Omg yes

[fickle lava]

What child of the 90s/2000s could forget them lol

[flint tundra]

I lost a friend to this. Healthy as all heck, then he just dropped dead in the car park at a football game.

He was 32

[thorny trail]

I WAS REPLYING TO BERRY

[onyx quarry]

[fickle lava]

I loved and still love so many cartoons. I'm the 30 something year old that still plays retro games and wishes things from my childhood were back.

[thorny trail]

I JUST REALIZED I SOUNDED RUDE I'M SORRY ;;

[flint tundra]

Quitter!

[shy smelt]

@fickle lava hells yea

[median brook]

No no I'm sure Vlad could be defeated by a "WELL"

[onyx quarry]

I should be carrying out some overtime work for a deadline rn ;__;

[shy smelt]

I should be sleeping it's 3am 😂

[median brook]

It's 4am so should I

[thorny trail]

Also being defeated by having his crush taken away from him by the chad thicc man

[onyx quarry]

no more true crime for you lady!

[thorny trail]

It's 9pm here

[vital hinge]

[fickle lava]

For my birthday my husband bought me the entire set Xena and I'm still getting through Hercules

[shy smelt]

@median brook are you in Europe then?

[shy smelt]

Noooo alllll the true crime!!!

[median brook]

I am in that part of the atmosphere yes

[shy smelt]

Coool!

[flint tundra]

Yes, it is. What even is sleep?

[onyx quarry]

I think Berry transcends time and space

[vital hinge]

oh, guess NA is rare around here

[fickle lava]

I'm NA

[onyx quarry]

Or maybe I hallucinated it

[thorny trail]

I'm NA

[fickle lava]

It's 9pm for me

[onyx quarry]

NA is pretty common here. I'm in NA too

[shy smelt]

I was waiting for my bf who's in NA to get back from the store but he's not returned 😤

[thorny trail]

It's 9pm here too

[median brook]

We'd never know the difference Cinna, I could be rocking back and forth in a padded room right now and imagining all of you, I'd never know

[thorny trail]

Maybe dreams are other realities

[thorny trail]

What goes up and down, round and round, but never moves?

[flint tundra]

Aww! International relationships are both the best and worst!

[shy smelt]

@onyx quarry have fun lovely!!

[thorny trail]

More than one answer acceptable

[fickle lava]

A clock?

[thorny trail]

Bye bye!

[thorny trail]

Could, that's one good answer

[median brook]

a spiral staircase

[thorny trail]

That was my original answer yes!

[fickle lava]

I'll agree on that

[shy smelt]

@flint tundra for sure!! That darn time difference for sure sucks 😂

[fickle lava]

I thought clock bc while the hands move, the clock itself doesn't

[median brook]

best of luck in your endeavors!

[thorny trail]

Ye! Also I also like the Sun as the answer

[median brook]

@shy smelt but yes, I am indeed, I am in the land of IKEA

[fickle lava]

Yes but the earth is the one moving...

[thorny trail]

It's a matter of perspective in this case

[shy smelt]

@median brook OOOOOH thats even cooler

[flint tundra]

You will make us the best furniture in game!

All the things will fit together

[median brook]

🤔 is that a compliment or an insult about the missing pieces

Hmmmmm

[thorny trail]

If you throw in some swedish meatballs it won't matter

[fickle lava]

After watching animaniacs yesterday:

If I eat myself, do I become twice as big or do I disappear

[median brook]

I will take the compliment!

[flint tundra]

I've got an allen wrench! Let's do this!

[median brook]

WOOO!! AND MY AXE!!

[fickle lava]

I've got a screwdriver

[thorny trail]

You would stay the same because you would gorge yourself and keep the same body mass

As long as you don't intake anything else at the time

[flint tundra]

Now I want meatballs...

[fickle lava]

Same mass but you'd be kinda inside out imo

[thorny trail]

Depends on how you eat yourself tho

[median brook]

If you want a physics conundrum I got one

[fickle lava]

Or a ball

[thorny trail]

Go for it Berry sir

[shy smelt]

I'm big dum

[thorny trail]

I like riddles. They're finger food for the brain

[fickle lava]

Numnumnum

[shy smelt]

I've taken some tramadol for my migraine my brain is at 1% rn 😂😂

[fickle lava]

Sometimes knowing too many riddle answers isn't fun lol

[median brook]

2 people are floating in an empty space, no stars, planets, just black. But they're passing eachother. One of them is moving but not the other, which one

[vital hinge]

yea brain is good finger food

wait what

[thorny trail]

I'm trying to figure this one sec

[fickle lava]

Bwains

[thorny trail]

NO using google

[flint tundra]

what's google, precious?

[median brook]

I don't know the answer and I'm pretty sure there is none, it's one of Einsteins theories of relativity

[fickle lava]

Try ask Jeeves

[median brook]

Jeeves.. my main mecha boi

[thorny trail]

Oh

They don't have to be moving, the space can move them past the other

[fickle lava]

Why is a Raven like a writing desk

There's no answer btw

[thorny trail]

Or if you look at it in one way, the dark space could be water, and the current can be moving them, but they won't necessarily be moving

It depends on the void and the state of it at the moment that would create said situation

[vital hinge]

the one with most inertia right

[median brook]

This same conundrum can be made much smaller and instead placing 1 person on a platform and another on a passing train. Now you'd be determined who's moving

[fickle lava]

They're both floating, so actually they're both moving in some way

[thorny trail]

Yeah! I like thinking of stuff like this and seeing what kind of answers everyone has

It gives insight to the person in question too

[shy smelt]

Only time passes them by uwu

[median brook]

I have a love hate relationship for physics..

[thorny trail]

Physics is great

also that could be an interesting answer, papii

[shy smelt]

Idk science I am a humanities gal lol

[vital hinge]

what if I told you nothing is certain including science

[median brook]

Now behavioral science, that I love

[thorny trail]

Suppose they both don't move in a void, no nothing around them, what to say time isn't a factor?

So one wouldn't age, but the other would "grow" meaning they would move in another way, ust not the traditional sense

[median brook]

The part of it is if you know for a fact 1 is moving and 1 is stationary, how do you determine who's who in empty space

[thorny trail]

Or suppose one is at the age where they don't grow as much, but a child is growing at a rapid pace by them, which would make them "move"

Hm

[fickle lava]

Yeah a lot of science being theory irritates me

[median brook]

Basically all of science is theory.. it'll either be disproven now or later xD

[fickle lava]

Well, you know living makes you grow old and die

[vital hinge]

dying is relative

[median brook]

Well yes, of course

[vital hinge]

you still live

[median brook]

Also.. yes

[fickle lava]

What goes up on earth, in gravity, makes you fall

[median brook]

Not according to Quantum physics xD

[thorny trail]

One is empty space, what would the other space be? Something entirely different? And if the said empty space is the classic "void" where nothing and I mean nothing exist, including space and time, would its opposite be the world we live in, or would it be sometihng entirely different and even incomprehensible? the answer to that would be both if we say that the void is the void in and of itself, and the other side would be something different from a void, meaning either a void with something in it, or a lively place.

[fickle lava]

Theory of relativity is strange

[median brook]

Very

[thorny trail]

Though if we have the empty void, that would mean absolutely nothing in it would exist

[median brook]

It's trippy

[fickle lava]

I know as I age, time feels like it's speeding up

[thorny trail]

So why is there variable x in there in the first place?

[vital hinge]

eventually your atoms will leave earth, as they weren't on earth in the first place

when earth explodes and the gravity goes

[fickle lava]

We're all just stars bb

[thorny trail]

The answer to that, is a reflection of ones self, and the void is merely the abyss that stares back, creating such a darkness that a reflection is bound to be there.

[median brook]

CarbonGangForLife

You're all my stardust

[fickle lava]

Awe

I love you, other pieces of me

[vital hinge]

Does that mean Alabama had it right this whole time?

just kidding btw

[thorny trail]

So there's one, not two subjects in play here. So there wouldn't be a subject in the void, but merely one staring in the void, moving while the other moves in tandem, but since the one in the void isn't real or a physical manifestation, the subject who is moving would be the one who is rife with life, while the void would stay a void, only mimicing the life that's in front of it, while retaining nothing

[fickle lava]

I was shadow pinged now I can't find it

[thorny trail]

So the answer would just be the person on the other side, the second subject does not exist, and therefore, there would be only one moving subject, and one subject in total

I'm the only one still talking about this riddle

[median brook]

Nothing in your "inbox"?

[fickle lava]

Nah I finally found it, was just annoying lol

[median brook]

haha it's not so much a riddle as it is a standing question xD

[fickle lava]

Lol

[thorny trail]

Still that's the conclusion I came up with

Just based off of the top of my head

[shy smelt]

I still can't find the bloody inbox

[median brook]

First process was the measure the speed of light and at what speed it hit the 2 objects, but, that was debunked, so, again, relative

[thorny trail]

Everything is relative, especially time

And it's a fun topic to touch on!

[median brook]

It's very speculative!

But I need to get some form of shut eye, got school to attend in 4 hours

whoops

[thorny trail]

Time is measured nowadays so the aspect of "losing time" can lose meaning quick, but time is also weird because even though 5 minutes is the same universally, it may not mean the same for you or I.

[vital hinge]

GO TO BED

RIGHT NOW

SIR

[thorny trail]

While 5 minutes can pass by fast for me, it may go by slow for you, and because of this, time can affect you and I while bending the laws of space and time, for us to be in one existance while still experiencing different effects

Lolol

You got chewed out

[median brook]

5 years ago is yesterday but 5 years from now is forever

[median brook]

IM ON MY WAY!

[vital hinge]

YEAH BUT IN 4 HOURS YOU GOT CLASS

[fickle lava]

Lol

[thorny trail]

To victory today

on my way

on my way

[median brook]

I always win

[upper marlin]

Coffee for me. ☕ Good morning!

[fickle lava]

Good late evening!
I'm having late night coffee

Wait I contradicted myself

[vital hinge]

i'm having a snack pack for the first time in like

10 yrs

[fickle lava]

It's 930

Yummy

[flint tundra]

Woah, that takes me back!

[vital hinge]

banana or chocolate

[flint tundra]

Butterscotch!

[fickle lava]

Butter scotch

Oh hey!

[vital hinge]

or butter scotch

tru

[flint tundra]

Do not make me want butterscotch pudding at 3:30am

[fickle lava]

I might have to get some the next time I shop

[flint tundra]

I don't even know if I can get that in the UK.

I'll probably have to get the train into London and check the American Candy Shop.

[vital hinge]

all that for some puddin?

[flint tundra]

Yeah. We only believe in custard here!

[fickle lava]

On the earlier topic of science and things

Descartes walked into a restaurant, was asked if he wanted the special, he says "I think not" and disappeared

Have some high brow humor

[limpid yacht]

Evening all :>

[shy smelt]

@upper marlin morning lovely

[fickle lava]

TrashP I'm happy someone got it

[thorny trail]

Aren't Pudding and Custard the same

[upper marlin]

I don't even know how many things I should do today.

[exotic nova]

Treat yourself do a moderate amount of things.

[vital hinge]

treat yourself to some baking and margaritas or something 🙂

that way you can say "man I did SO much today!"

[upper marlin]

Kitchen is still unfinished so no baking yet. 😂😂😂

[vital hinge]

hmmm.... mimosas it is

[upper marlin]

Or maybe a while of knitting with Coffee.

[flint tundra]

Uggggg... it's 4am and I want to draw, but if I start I won't sleep at all!

[grim zenith]

@autumn stratus Honestly I've only started DMing recently and I've really liked it, but I reckon it depends on personal preference whether you'd be player or DM preferably.

[autumn stratus]

yeahh

I really overestimated my explaining skills

I dont even know the word for it smh

[fickle lava]

Nope

[exotic nova]

I have a halfling barbarian who does the opposite of what his party members want him to do “we shouldn’t touch that door it could be trapped” … touches door.

Safe to say I’m the one who’s almost died the most

[flint tundra]

How very dare you!

Keep in mind "pudding" is often used here in the same way you would say "dessert" so it all gets a little mixed up in translation. Custard can often be called pudding because it is served as a dessert.

The consistency is completely different though. Custard is much more liquidy and pourable, and just comes in one flavour. Custard.

[fickle lava]

Pudding in America is thicc and almost gelatinous, comes in many flavors.

Custard is usually more liquidy and at Christmas they sell it in drink form

[flint tundra]

There are so many weird food discrepancies between the two! We call Jell-o "Jelly" and what the US calls jelly just gets lumped in with jam over here.

[stable plover]

not true for Jelly and Jam U.S.

🤨

There is a difference

[flint tundra]

I know! There's a difference in the states between jam, jelly, and preserves. But over here it's just all jam.

[stable plover]

Sorry late at night mixe up

https://tenor.com/view/crazy-eyes-cat-cat-fun-fun-cat-funny-cat-cat-funny-gif-17550699

[flint tundra]

I totally understood! ❤️

I'll spare you the chocolate bar insanity.

[stable plover]

I actually am not into sweets that much because people tell me I'm already too sweet

[fickle lava]

Jam is a softer mashed berry thing, jelly is like jello but easier to spread and super sweet, jello is kinda sweet and very bouncy, holds it's shape

I get confused over cookies, biscuits and... Whatever you actually call your biscuits, scones?

[gaunt belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/jello-jiggle-wiggle-gelatin-jelly-gif-16481343

[flint tundra]

Yep, I lived in the states for a while. Also jelly in the US has no seeds!

[fickle lava]

Jam does!

So I'm guessing our jam and your jelly are the same thing?

[flint tundra]

Scones are about the closest thing we have to American Biscuits, but they are not the same thing.

[stable plover]

Depends on the brand

[flint tundra]

Same texture. Completely different otherwise.

[fickle lava]

Usually blackberry, raspberry, and strawberry have seeds bc they're just pulverized

Tbh I hate how sweet so much of our food is. Every year I dislike sweets more and more

[flint tundra]

Oh, you had better not eat any desserts here! British sweets are SO MUCH sweeter than the US!

It's ridiculous.

[thorny trail]

I thought US was the epitome of sweet

Jeez

[flint tundra]

Terrible misconception.

However...

[thorny trail]

I like Asian and Hispanic sweet

It's sweet but just enough to not get overwhelmed

[flint tundra]

Where the US gets you is all of the hidden sugar and carbs they sneak into the everyday foods. It's disturbing.

[shy smelt]

Heh I love sweet

[flint tundra]

When I was over there, we would test it. We;d buy the same product, same brand name and everything... and the US version had 2-3 times the ingredients most of the time.

[shy smelt]

Im obsessed with trifle atm

[flint tundra]

Trifle is bliss!

[shy smelt]

I tried a chocolate orange one once and now I can't find it again!! 😤

[flint tundra]

They're seasonal here.

A few shops carry them year round, but most won't

[fickle lava]

I preferred sweets in Japan

[gaunt belfry]

choco oranges are for xmass time 😏

[fickle lava]

I wanna try some Turkish delights if I ever visit Europe

[flint tundra]

Depends, but they get the weirdest and coolest Kit Kat flavours!

The green tea matcha kit kat is my favourite

[gaunt belfry]

those have spread to the US now

[fickle lava]

I enjoyed some trust me lol and their Oreos

[shy smelt]

Choc orange for all the time 🥰

[fickle lava]

We went close enough to Halloween and the seasonal treats were great

Plus don quixote was fun to go into, they played the best Halloween music

[upper marlin]

I was just in early xmass vibe because of pinterest. 😂

I need to harvest some pinecones and sprucecones before autumn rains. 🤔

[limpid yacht]

Morning

[uneven sierra]

Good morning @limpid yacht! 👋

[tidal wedge]

Morning

@uneven sierra heey, What kind of exotic animals do you take care off ??

[raven thistle]

chapaaaaaaaa

[limpid yacht]

How are you anna?

[uneven sierra]

Hello! I am not taking care of animals at the moment, but I will in a month! My school’s zoo ranges from rabbits, miniature horses, raccoons, possums, sugar gliders, eagles, tortoises, crocodiles, small wild cats, to lions and more! I will know really soon as the semester stars on what animals I will be taking care of! On my second year I get to pick an animal of my choosing! I am so so soooo hyped about that! One of the animals that I really want to work with is the miniature horses because horses are my favorite animals!

One of the things that I will be doing is showcasing animals with classmates to kids on field trips! I am nervous about that because I can be shy at times when it comes to talking in front of crowds lol, but I am really looking forward to it! I don’t only want to show awesome, beautiful animals but I want to educate my guests!

[uneven sierra]

That is very kind of you to ask! Thank you! It’s been a very rough, long week with my cold! I got my test results in today and thank goodness I was tested negative for ||Covid||! I cried in front of my whole family when I got the results via email aha! I knew it wasn’t it, but my doctor really wanted to make sure! I pray I get better really soon aha.

How are you doing?

[half nest]

That's great news Anna!

[uneven sierra]

I am so happy!

[half nest]

Always so nerving taking the test but glad it was okay!

[limpid yacht]

Im fine.. A bit sleepy

[wise halo]

good evening again about to play a game before I go to bed

today I just written a java class that gets stats for a. Item name, Item description, price and quantity today

[upper marlin]

[tidal wedge]

Ah cool hope you get what you want, i work with horses at a horse riding school

[median brook]

@hallow kite best Skyrim review I ever read was a guy with 5000 hours saying: it’s okay I guess

[strange ravine]

I wonder how many swedes got it on their recommended lmao

[slate cave]

[limpid yacht]

What's with everybody here and being Swedish? 😁

[strange ravine]

are you from a big or small city

maybe swedes like calm games???

[storm stratus]

ooh does döda mig have a different meaning than "thank you"? mig sounds like it would translate to me

[strange ravine]

we dont want no trouble just farming hahah

[strange ravine]

its "kill me"

[limpid yacht]

Small town, but grew up in Stockholm so I have the accent.

[storm stratus]

hahahahahahahahauievugbugvb gbvjhg

[strange ravine]

that section of the video is literally for the swedes that know what the robot is saying hahah

[strange ravine]

STOCKHOLMARE

I grew up here all my life

[slate cave]

yall swedes be vibin

[strange ravine]

welcome to the club

yessss

ah ive been there

I honestly am not much of a big city person idk about you guys

I think if I lived in any country without much greenery id go into a shock

[upper marlin]

I'm here just like "Oh that young"

[strange ravine]

I need to look out my window and see grass and trees

[strange ravine]

how old are you? ❤️

[limpid yacht]

Every time I fly out to the UK it's all grey and cold. 😢

[upper marlin]

31 soon

[strange ravine]

I actually lived in a small town in germany the past half year and what made it great was all the greenery and mountains ❤️

[strange ravine]

youre also young!

I think you count as old at like,,, 70+

[limpid yacht]

Countryside! 😁

[slate cave]

weemano got a new pic

[limpid yacht]

I really like being given a wide berth, with a lawn and a garage.

[upper marlin]

Haha not really. I have kids and had been maried for 10yo so I kinda feel like I'm way older than I am.

[slate cave]

Countryside sounds neat but is the internet there decent

i live... a little bit outside a city, but it's still quite populated. i dont think ive ever really been to the country

i think it would be nice...

[limpid yacht]

Well, here in Sweden yeah! I know of people that live way out with decent and stable connections. And a streamer I watch stayed over at his summer house for Midsummer in the middle of nowhere and had like 30 ping on League.

[whole crag]

this song is stuck in my head now and I'm not even swedish please help

[slate cave]

Its stuck in my head too

[strange ravine]

mature mind maybe but in terms of age you havent even lived half your life yet if everyone would live to around 90 that is ❤️

[slate cave]

Damn maybe I should visit Sweden

[strange ravine]

in sweden yeah

[strange ravine]

hahah realized as I was typing you answered it already

[slate cave]

matt im gonna come live with you now 🐈

[limpid yacht]

You should! Let's all hang out if you ever do!

[strange ravine]

good, think of us hahah ❤️

[slate cave]

THIS ONES FOR THE SWEDES (SWEDES!)

[strange ravine]

YEAH SWEDES~

[whole crag]

thats exactly the line that I keep unconsciously singing

[slate cave]

countries i want to visit:

• sweden (i will die of the cold)
• japan (i will die of the cold)

[limpid yacht]

I also think that the countryside of Australia and Sweden are vastly different. We're very vertical, and border other countries so even if you live in the middle of nowhere in Sweden and far away from other people it's still near enough to other countries to not be too isolated.

[strange ravine]

actually its not THAT cold anymore

[limpid yacht]

Compare that to Australia, and over there there's actual deserts and such. 😳

[strange ravine]

at least not in stockholm, we didnt even have proper snow for xmas

[slate cave]

Yeah the middle of our country is just a giant fuckin desert

theres so much space there and nothing in it

[limpid yacht]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1XSKu3pK8A

[limpid yacht]

How about UNDER it? 👆

[slate cave]

Ah I think I saw a Tom Scott video about this

[strange ravine]

in sweden the country sides I have visited have a lot of farms and wind turbines

[slate cave]

at least you guys get snow...
here it either rains or hails
snow doesn't exist

[strange ravine]

I LOVE GREAT BIG STORY

im so sad about their channel shutting down

[limpid yacht]

It is? 😢

[strange ravine]

yea, Ill consider myself blessed

[limpid yacht]

I had a binge watching spree of that channel once when I was sick, sad to see it go.

[strange ravine]

yeah it did awhile ago sadly idk why

they have a video on it

[slate cave]

:(

[strange ravine]

have you ever seen snow Rin?

[limpid yacht]

Making igloos with your friends as a kid was magical. 🤩

... People hiding pebbles in snowballs during snowball fights? Not so much. 🤣

[slate cave]

irl? i dont think ive ever seen snow. döda mig

[limpid yacht]

DÖDA

[slate cave]

idk how i fumbled that so bad

[strange ravine]

omg yes

youd probably love it tho!

I mean snow is magical

[slate cave]

nah doda mig is magical

[lilac agate]

I want to invite the artists to my Drawpile, but I don't know if that's allowed by moooooddddds

[strange ravine]

whats a drawpile?

otherwise you can dm me

[slate cave]

its an application people use to draw together

[lilac agate]

Drawpile is a collaborative drawing program! It's a simple to use little thing that you can create all sorts of stuff together on the same canvas

[strange ravine]

oh damn im learning new things everyday

[lilac agate]

And it's free, too!

[strange ravine]

but yeah just dm me hahah

oki doki imma look it up rn

[storm stratus]

boy do i have good news for you. you'd need to travel but your alps and tasmania for example get snow. actually i think victoria does too!

[slate cave]

im in western australia....

[limpid yacht]

Wouldn't that be like travelling to another country, considering how big Australia is?

[storm stratus]

at least you don't have to cross the ocean? >_<

[limpid yacht]

It's scary how big Australia is. 😄

[slate cave]

i would have to cross a desert
or go around the coast which would take twice as long...

[upper marlin]

And atm we are dying because of the heat in Finland.

[slate cave]

😔

[strange ravine]

its warm in sweden too

but not too much today

[slate cave]

its cold in australia winter baybee

[upper marlin]

It's like +33C here in shadow. 🥵

[strange ravine]

oi vittu

here it's 27 but cloudy and the wind is cold

[limpid yacht]

Time to go for a run, thanks for the chat everybody! I think I've been here for like an hour, if not more now.

[upper marlin]

Yes. Warm as a p*ssy here. 😂😂😂😂

[limpid yacht]

👋

[upper marlin]

Byeeee

Ah now the photo seems good.

[strange ravine]

how is it in Australia though, in general?

[slate cave]

cold in winter and hot at every other time

[upper marlin]

How cold does it get?

[limpid yacht]

Who pinged me o3o

[upper marlin]

[limpid yacht]

[upper marlin]

Is It furry if they seem like humans? 🤔

[limpid yacht]

Yeah... But nobody talk about them

[upper marlin]

Oukidouki I'm turning into turri fangirl. What a nice day. 😂😂😂

[limpid yacht]

One of us one of us one of us

[upper marlin]

But not really because I don't go for the suits. 🤔

[limpid yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/wolf-of-wall-street-one-of-us-leonardo-di-caprio-gif-7622766

[lilac agate]

Don't need to go for the suits to be a furry tho.

[limpid yacht]

Dont have one either

[lilac agate]

Though some of the suits I've seen are absolutely exquisite pieces of art

[upper marlin]

But if this whole fantasy beastman thing would become reality. 🤔 It would be nearly impossible to choose between fae and werewolfs.

[limpid yacht]

And what kind of furry do you want to be?

A cuddly red panda owo

[upper marlin]

? Me. I don't want to be one.

[limpid yacht]

Its to late to turn back wee

[upper marlin]

But I really don't. I want to be a halfling.

[limpid yacht]

A hobbit?

[upper marlin]

Something more like elf/gobling mix. 😂

Just add pointy ears and done. 😂😂😂

[limpid yacht]

Then just use cobold

[upper marlin]

Done. 😂

[slate cave]

like 16C rn
sorry i just saw your message

[upper marlin]

we have like - 35C here during winter.

[slate cave]

how are you alive

[upper marlin]

Just fine.

[lilac agate]

-35c isn't so bad though.

[upper marlin]

Yeah it's durable.

[limpid yacht]

Hi everyone 👋 Can anyone recommend any good and affordable gaming laptops? I'm new to this and I don't know really know what I'm supposed to pay attention to

[storm stratus]

i love that halfing description omggg

cute profile pic weemano!!

[storm stratus]

i'd post this in #🎮│other-games too, i think you have a better chance to catch an expert there

[limpid yacht]

Oh ok Thank you !

[upper marlin]

Well I'm this vicked shubby being that hordes all the shiny things and crafts all the time...

[knotty karma]

I wondered where Rin was

[upper marlin]

🤷‍♀️

[limpid yacht]

Wee is a cobold now

[austere lance]

I'm in Quebec Canada, our usual year swing between +35 in summer to -35 in winter.

[sand orchid]

35c?? thats death, its been 32 here few times this week and im melting

our winters have been relatively tame lately, last one didnt go udner -15

[slow hill]

Jeez, in Canada? Y’all deal with the cold, you shouldn’t have to suffer through the hot too

[austere lance]

yeah that a thing peoples forget about Canada, it's not only cold it can get really hot too. Some of the biggest temperature swings in the world

like you see today...25 feeling 34 with humidity tomorrow 29/ 36 with humidex... and that that all week

[slow hill]

We get around that heat sometimes where I am but nowhere near as cold

[stable plover]

Boba!

I need to take my sisters kids to drink some bubbletea before school starts again. 🤔

[tidal wedge]

i like some bubbletea

[upper marlin]

They were super hyped over it and I know that they won't ask for it from their mom. 🙈

[limpid yacht]

Rip

Momma wee get some bubblies

[upper marlin]

Yeah I Will. They are my sweet babies too. 😘 Thou the oldest is allready 5cm taller than me. 😂

[vague isle]

Only recommendation is do NOT get a Dell, most of them have a design flaw where the battery expands - I have to spend £50ish a year on a new battery lest the current one explode

[lilac agate]

Which means Alienware is technically off limits, because they were acquired by Dell some years back

[limpid yacht]

Its everytime one of your child is taller than you. Im taller than my dad and my ball of mother is a short stack

[sand orchid]

personally id jsut get tabletop if you ahve space

you can same quality qith half the price

[foggy sedge]

I guess as long as you don't mix in the russian varient you good

talking about corona vaccine

[reef egret]

If you’re wanting affordable, and you don’t need it to be mobile, I’d def do either a prebuilt or custom built desktop PC. A lot of gaming laptops get very expensive for what they are, and longevity isn’t as great. ASUS is fairly reliable if you do have to go with a gaming laptop, I wouldn’t recommend MSI. Razer… has some issues.

[foggy sedge]

Gaming laptop should just have 16gb ram and 4gb video card and you good

[reef egret]

4gb video card is… a bit small for these days honestly.

[foggy sedge]

I mean it's a laptop it should be like a travel gaming pc basically

Gaming on a laptop full time is hard i tried playing games while having the laptop on my lap

[reef egret]

Well, most games these days use over 4gb VRAM. And most cards have over that anyways. But if it’s their sole gaming PC, they definitely will want more than 4gb VRAM for current and future games

[foggy sedge]

It's just gets really hot heat wise and not really comfortable to game

[reef egret]

Yeah, you need a pad/cooling pad with fans. I have a Razer laptop I don’t really use anymore, and there was never a time that could be comfortably on my lap. Most won’t be just due to internals anyways.

[foggy sedge]

I agree on the 4gb vram if that's the only rig you have then go higher than 4gb really depends on the person

Could be an office worker looking to slack off at work with some great laptop

But if you have a lot of time to be home desktop is better

Most games I play, even not like… “intensive” can use up more than 4gb. really any gaming laptop will run warmer because internal cooling just won’t be as good/capable

[foggy sedge]

True but if you want that cold laptop experience without gaming get a macbook

Not related to the topic i'm just impressed with how cold it stays

[reef egret]

Trust me… it does not if you’re running a fair amount hahaha.

[strange ravine]

this is the sole reason why I have a 2TB external hardrive games really eat up space

[reef egret]

Oh yeah, we were talking about VRAM, but in my desktop I have uh… 4.5tb in SSD space haha

[strange ravine]

ah sorry shouldve read it all, my PC has atleast 8gb if im not wrong

building pcs take such time but its worth it instead of paying a big sum for a prebuilt one if you ask me

[reef egret]

Right now it’s less expensive to buy a prebuilt if you’re looking at current or even last gen gpus, it’s insane. I have 10gb VRAM and some games definitely get close to the limit

[strange ravine]

I was lucky in that sense I got my PC from uncle who had built and kept it for awhile

then its just changing out parts now and then

so I guess it depends on the situation at the end of the day, and your personal needs ofc

[reef egret]

Yeah definitely. I built mine and have changed parts, cases, etc. once you have the base it gets way easier to update

[slate lantern]

I just completed my interview and it went really well!

Thank you thank you!

An interesting interview question I wanted to share with everyone - How many jellybeans can fit in a suitcase?

[wraith zodiac]

trick question, need to know the size of both the jeallybeans and the suitcase before a proper answer can be made.

[stable plover]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WmZtPpO5jk

[slate lantern]

Are there different sized jellybeans?

[wraith zodiac]

there is, theres the regular size, and then theres ones that are around twice the size.

[median brook]

There's always giant version or tiny version of anything xD

I don't know why but there is, and it's always OMG LOOK ITS SO SMALL/BIG

Like getting a GIANT teddy bear or a tiny pen cause it's oh so cute

And if there's jellybeans that taste like vomit I'm sure there's big ones 🤔

@limpid yacht (continuing this here)

Knowing I might be in trouble for saying this...

In actual, pre-21st century English, the Singular They is used for persons (not objects) when the gender of the target is unknown, NOT when the gender is neutral or a "non-gender" or something; while It is used for objects (not persons). This has been true for centuries, but for those centuries using the singular they has never been required when the gender is unknown (so many people used he, she, or incorrectly use it).

So for instance:

Child. If you do not know if the child is a boy or girl, just a child, you use the singular they. If a boy, he. If a girl, she. You should never use it, because children are persons, not objects, just like you should never call a vessel (car, boat, etc) a she, etc.

English is very clear on this, but nowadays people are trying to change it.

[limpid yacht]

That makes sense. I don't mind having certain things in languages changed though, since I think language ought to be descriptive and change with the times to fit a contemporary context.

[carmine valve]

Also: The "Royal We" could be used as a pronoun by royalty (but rarely ever was, it's really just a gimmick), because "We" was basically the monarch being the nation/government manifested in one individual.

Also, Singular They and We use Singular You rules. You Are/Have, They Are/Have, We Are/Have; singular, but still uses are/have.

[median brook]

Plenty of people call their cars he or she, and aren't boats always referred to as she's, no?

[carmine valve]

Yes, but it's still grammatically incorrect. English is very clear that objects should always be referred to as "it".

It's different for Romance languages, which actually do have specific genders for some objects.

[median brook]

Plenty of things are grammatically incorrect, especially now adays when "finna" is somehow a word when it's just a typo, but I get what you're saying. Grammar is out the window soon though I feel, why I opt out of using pronouns as much as possible, it's just a minefield because of dogmatism

Even if you abide by the grammatically correct ways you'll still be bashed for it

(on the internet, where I live it's very different)

[carmine valve]

Yes, you're right. But generally we understand such things to be "slang". And they used to stay slang. What's going on with "neopronouns" is that people that use them are trying to make them legit (or are trolling, and sometimes it's hard to tell which), rather than wanting them to be slang, and that's where the whole issue started.

Just to note: Not picking a side on this, just trying to explain it.

[median brook]

I'm not on any side either but my own, it's just nice to be able to have a calm factual discussion rather than shamethrowers

You know?

[carmine valve]

Yes, I agree. And I appreciate it too.

[shy smelt]

Language is ever evolving, I think it's just important to respect people's wishes as long as they aren't harming anybody ^^

[median brook]

To an extent I can agree with that, but also, just because everyone's opinions are valid, doesn't mean society has to conform to them? you know? If I wanna be referred to as god, doesn't make it so. On a personal level, absolutely, if you wanna be called this or that, I either respect it or walk away with respect. But trying to alter society is a step to far in my book. Not saying society should never change, or language, but some things just aren't that important

That my personal opinion, if anyone disagrees that's entirely in their right too

[carmine valve]

Papii, While that's true, people use misgendering accusations as a form of harassment, so sometimes they are using neopronouns to harm people. And it's getting harder to tell who is legit and who is not when these accusations are made.

On that note, I supported the creation of Xe(Ze)/Xey (or Xir or something) about a decade ago? Because people were trying to come up with one gender-neutral (not gender-unknown) pronoun. But then people came up with more and more alternatives and the whole thing failed, sadly.

Basically what happens is when people jump onto something serious and basically start doing it because it's "cool" or "hipster", that thing becomes a fad. Once it's a fad, most people do not take it seriously and actually end up annoyed by it which results in pushback. This is true for practically anything, but it just so happens that neopronouns are the thing right now. Same thing happened with emo/goth etc not too long ago.

[slate lantern]

I agree with you. If someone told me to do something, I'm going to question first before I just follow. Some people have their boundaries and we need to be okay with taht.

It's just like different cultures.

[median brook]

And/or Religions, no matter what side of anything you're on, you need to respect that people may not agree with you on your views

[slate lantern]

Some people are more traditional than others, some people have large noses, why force anything?

[slate lantern]

Correct.

[carmine valve]

While this is true... It's important to recognize the difference between something that legitimately gains popularity over the entire populace, versus something that "spikes" in popularity temporarily only to result in pushback and later be abandoned because the people in that "spike" get tired of it eventually. There are very different reactions to these two things.

[slate lantern]

Also, depends how it is questioned. If they were being rude about questioning something, then I can understand having a reaction because of it. There's different ways to approach thing and that comes down to communication.

[median brook]

Agreed, the gender neutral term spiked here, then died out. While it gained popularity in other places. After that it's important to recognize different cultures

[median brook]

Communication.. something many are losing because of emotional investment, try having a calm talk about this somewhere else 👀

[carmine valve]

Yep. And the use of neopronouns is also a spike. Just like with older fads/subcultures, there will remain people who do stuff seriously, but most people will move away from it, which will mean any relevance it has will die. Which is why many people see attempts to make "official" changes to language as pointless when most of the people wanting it will stop caring about it down the road.

[median brook]

Just like with Palia, all anyone can do is wait and see :3 You cannot force the hand of fate, it is known, this is the way, and all that jazz

[slate lantern]

Right. If everyone set their emotions aside just for a minute, there can be reason.

Not everything has to end with the last word. Not everything ends with the closure you desire.

[carmine valve]

But hopefully Xe/X(ey/ir) or something will become seriously considered again maybe 10 years down the road once the fad is over. As long as it has the chance to be considered seriously, it might actually get put in.

[median brook]

I'm a left brain with some diagnose, so that's easily done for me

and when I say "some" I mean I am diagnosed I'm just not saying with what

Not some internet "omg my ocd is triggered" type of diagnose xD

[carmine valve]

I can get pretty heated when I have an opinion, but I like to think I appeal to reason. So I'm a bit weird. I use logic to come to a conclusion, then I can get emotional defending that conclusion. I'm working on it x.x;

[median brook]

It's important sometimes too to be invested and passionate about something! Can't always only do reason and logic

You love what you love

[carmine valve]

I suppose, but the Internet "emotional" is unhealthy, especially if you accidentally use it irl.

[slate lantern]

Trust me, I'm working on it too. I can't say I'm perfect neither. All relationships are like this and with different people you meet. Sometimes you get along with others and sometimes you just don't. I have learned over time that a small group of 2-4 people of friends is better than a group of acquaintances. But, you learn something from each experience. Don't let people get to you. The internet sort of.. overreacts a lot. IRL you'll notice it's a bit different. Unless it's just me.

[median brook]

Oh yes, very much so, but I think cause there's a safety net online of anonymity

[carmine valve]

True, but I care more about Rezilia's rep than I do my RL rep. Strange, right?

[median brook]

Definitely not just you ^^

I use the internet to be nicer than in real life, aint I just the opposite

[carmine valve]

And I go back to maybe 2015 and read old forum posts by "Rezilia" and realize that I/she sounds like a jerk. So yeah. RIP.

I've definitely matured tho.

[slate lantern]

Definitely. We all grow where we want to grow. I cared about my character in this one game and developed a reputation. One time my reaction got in the way and I kinda lost it. But, at the end of the day, I realized it's just part of growing.

[honest sigil]

Hi guys

[median brook]

Hi Zeni ^^

[honest sigil]

How r u doing guys?

[median brook]

Doing good, trying to color my Einar while enjoying the company of fwiends in here

[slate lantern]

Hey Zeni!

[honest sigil]

Same. A Little tired after riding a bike but still good😅

[honest sigil]

Hi

[slate lantern]

I'm about to visit my parents with my daughter. If only my husband would get ready. >_>

[median brook]

Men am I right? Always taking so long to get ready

[honest sigil]

Ik your pain. Me and my family are always waiting for my dad and Brother to get ready before we go somewhere

[honest sigil]

Im not like this

[median brook]

I can't be the only guy who just, runs his hand through his hair and calls it done?

[carmine valve]

My Mom does that. I can't stand it.

[median brook]

Haha, I rely on my natural beauty to do the trick

graceful hair flick

[carmine valve]

I take long showers (cuz our tubs have sucked for bathing), while she cleans with a cloth. .... We're miles apart.

It's to the point where her "grooming" standards can be so low it agitates me, but never so low that she isn't civilized.

[median brook]

Oh my, fortunately my SO doesn't seem to have an issue with my looks xD lucky me

At least from what she tells me 👀

[honest sigil]

Well i hate when my Brother or dad right before we go some where they Just go to toilet for like 40 mins

[median brook]

[honest sigil]

Guys now that i Look at chats am i the only one that is younger than 20?xD

I mena like you all and im Just asking

[median brook]

There's 90000 people in here, I guarantee you're not the only one under 20

[carmine valve]

maybe one of the only three

[median brook]

But the age range of 13-20 is a lot smaller than 20-100

So, statistically, yeah you're gonna be a minor in the minority, huehue

or as lego puts it, 99+

Or is it just 99? I forget

[honest sigil]

Now im sad and happy at the same time. Odd feeling

[wraith zodiac]

i may be turning 23 next month but that doesnt stop my brain from actin like a 14 year old sometimes lol

[median brook]

I have that effect on people

[honest sigil]

Well thats good it means your happy
I think xD

[short current]

[honest sigil]

There isnt

[gaunt badger]

@honest sigil Intel as a Vacuum and Abatement tech

[honest sigil]

Ok i would like to tell something but i too bad at English and cant even google it so.... What do you usualy do? XD

[fresh cedar]

ah, that's cool. my dad used to work at intel as a software engineer, still does that but at a different company now

[honest sigil]

Oooh now ik ty Edna xD

[fresh cedar]

vacuum and abatement I'd imagine is working with waste and getting rid of it, so looking at technologies for doing so, perhaps taking part in creating them?

[scenic silo]

@honest sigilI'm under 20 too so at least there are 2 out of 90000

[honest sigil]

Ooh nice

Finaly xD

[scenic silo]

but we need to gather more, 2 is still not enough

[honest sigil]

True

Well Just BC you r younger than 20 when we get chance to play i will play with you if you want
