A morph?
I would show a picture but picts arent allowed in here
Zeki is Silver from Treasure Planet and I wont be dissuaded otherwise
Silver had Morph
Zeki needs something like a morph too
i posted a picture here of morph
ooohh. I barely remember that movie but I remember loving morph
You need to watch it again
highly recommend
There is so much you miss as a kid watching it
Its amazing all the adult jokes that fly over head as a kid. I watch kid movies that i loved as a kid and its amazing the jokes you get out of them that you missed before
I've seen it like 6 times.
man this month was an endeavor, with what I thought would be an easy kitchen remodel turning into the biggest mess of a lifetime
like having to play contractor roulette, to find people to redo electricity and the walls, and then getting ghosted later by the same electrician when we needed him to redo a small thing (he already agreed to come), because he went on vacation
finally its done though, just finished painting half an hour ago, and all that's left is to bring in the carpenter for measurements and order new appliances
I feel ya. Our laundry has been in a state of half built for the last month and a half
yeah that was our kitchen
before > after destruction > less destruction

maybe I'll have one of the now painted room after the less ghostly electrician comes tomorrow
though its not much right now xD, just black walls and painter's foil all over the floor

I´m doing great, having a chill evening, how about you?
Hey Trapii
I'm OK! Moving house again (hopefully) next week so repacking all my stuff. Stress 😂
Moving is horrible D:
Agreed. 😦
Unless you can afford to pay a good moving company to do literally all the work.
I'd love a bit bigger apartment tho. This one is great but I need more space for my art stuff.
I've only moved twice, and those two times were stressful enough for me to wish to do it as few of times as possible.
I've moved five times in the last six years.
Yikes
You should get up and stretch. Your muscles are going to atrophy.
tosses head back and laughs
That's the most anime villain thing I've ever seen anyone do
That’s a dad level I just…didnt expect
You’ve leveled up
And that’s not even your final form
You forgot when the anime villain put their hands over their right eye, but split their fingers a bit so their eye still peeks through, and starts talking about how they'll do whatever to you in a menacing tone.
Friends, I went out and was social in order to recharge my extrovert battery. It was a good time
There’s an extrovert here?!?
Did you not notice that about my gestures at everything about me
I suppose not
There’s more to the world than just my room?
I like being social now and then, but not everyone likes being social, so I ended up talking to people who tend to just want to mind their own business or go home. Now I just keep to myself and be social when the situation arises, but I don't go out my way for it haha.
Morning. 🥱
It’s night time for me…
Idk if I should do it or keep it blond. Atm I look like a smart adult that I should be. 😅
I recently gave myself bangs (fringe as the EU calls it) and cant decide if the rest of my hair should go too, but it's shoulder length atm
Pssh pssssssssssssh do what makes you happy
Wigs. All the fun. No commitment.
But I spend my days surrounded by teens. So the smart part is not so important.
Ugh wigs and long thick hair is not fun, makes me head hot
I always wanted to go blue, but I can't. 
Maybe Ill go blonde! Wee goes Blue. Offal can be red
I want to dye my tips purple…but I don’t know if my parents will allow it…
Red I can do. Gingers can't go blue unfortunately.
I dont think I have the skintone to be blonde tbh
I have dark dark brown hair with natural red highlights and brown eyes
You would have to go through a lot to get it blonde.
But there is a blonde for every skin tone, for the record. 
I like my brown hair but highlights would be cool, if you find the right color
blonde would look super weird on me
I'm the devil. My wife has some songs that get stuck in her head easily...
mmm likely a honey blonde
3 examples: Pep Rally by ... Uh. Someone. Into the Thick of It! And that Bezos song.
So I just said "Jeffery Bezos is holding a pep rally in the thick of it."
dies from heartburn
I hate the Kiss by a Rose song and my husband likes to bring it up
She trolls me with songs I don't like. Lol
So no hair or why?
Ok maybe it's time to go blue. Brb.
"Mom you look like a rocker woman!"
Oukidouki. This went well.

Just got my first vaccine 😵💫
Woo!! Make sure to hydrate and sleep well!
I know the feeling. I’m actually getting to my breaking point lately. It’s been over a year now, you know?
Oh we aren't in lockdown, I have agoraphobia.
Oh!!! Well I hope you’re okay after your outing!
Yeah it's fine, I need to get outside more to make it easier but it drains all my energy. So I'm juggling between exhaustion and isolation.
A fine line, I’m sure!
No, I have more hair than I know what to do with! But I've been to 4 shops, and they basically told me there's no way to get the red out of ginger hair, and they weren't going to fry my hair trying.
When I bleach it, the lightest it gets is strawberry blonde, despite my experimenting with cut offs.
The sickly seaweed colour they ended up with on my best attempt was not something I wanted on my noggin.
Blue is the such a strong pigment strawberry blonde shouldn't be a problem.
Getting rid of the blue is more tricky.
Could try purple, should be easier to integrate
My cat just brought over onto my bed and started defeathering a dead sparrow.
We live in a small apartment on the third floor, so this is... new.
especially since we've also had a parrot for years

for some reason she doesn't understand me when i meow at her
i've never been good with accents 😔
hm 🤔 maybe ''meow'' deeper ??

My Reply and Statement on Edaleen/Neleimour's Apology
Read: https://t.co/wYwIauZvwA
Neleimour with a false apology, trying to play the victim, when she abused over 11 people.
No one said you created a hostile environment. You contributed to one and in the worst ways possible.
Such an insincere apology. Take ownership of your abhorrent behavior instead of deflecting. That’s the first step to changing yourself for the better @Neleimour 1/2 https://t.co/LbXTM4UG69
The S6 team is already aware of these allegations being made, and have been investigating, however there is nothing else for them to say at this time. If you have any more info that think needs to be shared with them, please contact them at https://www.singularity6.com/contact
Thanks for the updates, Brian.
I start to think that my teachers are blind..
Oh yeah?
"You totally could be 16! I had no idea that you were older."
Some people are just bad with age..?
Idk teachers usually get the differences.
Once I walked into class for the first day of school to have the teacher start yelling at me for ditching. She thought I was my brother, ditching HS to randomly walk into her jr high class.
🙈
I get mistaken for 16 all the time. You'd think the beard would clue people in
I get 17 when I shave, 22 when I don't. I'm 35...
Maybe I need some mustache.
I say go for it
just draw a moustache
To my mask.
I got the reverse problem...not that a bad thing, once I made believe I was a teacher so we could have a silent computer class to work.
i guess just buy a mask with a moustache 
Or I can sew one.
also a option
Yeah I allready nag to the teens if they mess around too much..
So I went for a small walk just now. I found Cicadas emerging from their molted shells!
What are your favourite movies?
I don't have a favourite but I'm rewatching Joker right now and it's pretty good.
Yeah Joker is based.
joker's unironically good
I refuse to pick favorites for movies because there's too many good ones I enjoy too much.
Philadelphia Story
I recently watched Loving Vincent, and I really liked it.
But if you like action movies and comedy... Boondock Saints is always a solid choice. But for sure 18+.
vincent van gogh is the original gamer
One of my favourites
I STILL feel bad for that cat.
Van Gogh was one of us.
I wanna make a new linocut stamp but I can't decide what to carve on it.

DOOM ost is damn great
ngl a turtle spinning to DOOM music would be so funny
Playing Quiplash 2 with a smaller streamer who's community I'm in. It gets real bad real fast
Morning. 🥱
A good timezone to you!
First early school morning. I have 1.5h for handling all and I'm here like. 🥱🥱🥱
Ello of topicers
Morning
Good morning to you too. 😘
Yawning really hard. We have just word using basics so I do my part and knit the rest of time.
I just woke up and i lay wrong so my back hurts
@drowsy mason but yeah, I suppose I get where you're coming from. it just sucks that your ancestors and the people in your country have carved out something nice, and then people like you tend to lay great weight on the bad things instead of the really good
also, life is terrible from a baseline too so i don't fault you for being critical. we just have to cope with that i guess
that sucks i guess
Yeah. I'm sorry you have an emotional investment in me feeling good about my ancestors, and I'm sorry I can't give you that reward. [This isn't sarcasm; I'm being legit]. You're great, and I am sorry about bringing you down. I didn't mean to start this weird conversation with my weird jokes.
I would like to ask for a favor - Can we move to another topic? Let's keep this channel fun and stress free. 
Sure. Apologies. * salutes * My bad.
it's not that, there's not much for me to say. you're right in that the fruits of our ancestors are grown from the blood of those disenfranchised. i used to be very resentful over this fact as well, but then after a while i just dropped it.
it's a good idea to drop this conversation, but i totally get where you're coming from.
❤️
Does anyone here know any good reverb vsts i can use with obs? planning to do a singing stream in a bit
Hi hi
Hiya
Long car rides are not my thing
:(
I don't think I've been on many long car rides before
Although it's technically possible to drive across the country... but you can't cut straight across or you'll die so you have to go around the edges
i hear its a popular road trip
I rarely travel anywhere and I get easily nauseous in cars.
And I'm too anxious to drive myself.
:(
I only get nauseous if I look at my phone or something so long car rides are a game of "would I rather be bored or sick"
I need to distract myself with something, I think my nausea is partly just anxiety about being in a car.
Can't read a book tho.
Trains are more comfortable.
It is. And you can move around and it's more steady.
yeah
Planes are the worst.
I haven't been on a plane in a loooong time so I don't really remember
I hate buses the most
Depends on the bus. If it's full of people it's awful.
the lack of anyone to tell me when to get off the bus makes me anxious as hell
Yeah that's not fun. I usually only use them to go to my parents place so I know well where to get off.
But the long distance buses here are horrible, they drive way too fast.
Buses are extremely noisy where I am, the whole thing rattles so even when it's empty it's a nightmare
One bus I used to use alot kept this weird noise.. sounded like it drove over a pigeon.
Was it a bendy bus? the middle part of those sometimes screech horribly
Oh no we don't have those at all. They're scary.
It was just an old bus, I got weirdly attached to it. Good old pigeon bus.
btw unrelated but i managed to find a reverb vst for my stream wahoo
Well done!
:D
I only have a sketchbook and some pencils with me but I could try to join this weeks drawing challenge anyway. It doesn't need to always be so fancy right?
yeah you can still join!
Not at all, my past entries have all been MS Paint and with a mouse
we get all sorts of mediums
some people even crochet or stuff i think
i think one person made an einar plush
I love to see so many mediums used! I'm just a perfectionist and a plain sketch feels like "not enough".
Nah I've always put in minimal effort as a rule, I spend the rest of my time stressing about every drawing/painting so the challenge is my time to be relaxed
That's a good way of thinking, I should try that.
I'm not that good at being relaxed.
Same lol, though I've gotten better through practise
I've tried to practise it too
I just easily think that my value depends on how good my art is.
Oh yeah I can understand that totally, I'm trying to make art my main career so every painting needs to be my best
But art can be valuable if it's relaxing to do, or makes you and others laugh at how bad it is even, there's lots of ways to value it
Yeah I'm trying to make a career out of it too. I just need to believe in myself more.
Art is so valuable just because I enjoy it, and can express myself through it, but it's hard to think about it that way.
art is hard
the only thing im good at is singing which is like... trying to draw but only knowing how to draw squares
Thats cool ^^ Do you know what you're going for yet? Illustration, design etc?
Yeah career makes it really tough to see past the need to make a drawing super good, I keep trying to remember to have chill sketch sessions but life gets in the way
Oh I'm not sure yet. Watercolors are my favorite medium tho.
I don't even know if I'll ever be able to work full time, but my best chance might be with art.
So long as I can work from home I know I'm okay, a lot of my exhaustion working in an office comes from overstimulation and forced socialising
Same here.
Oh I feel that, when I was a frequent bus user I was alway stressed out about missing my stop
oh boy I feel that one too... reopening has been a hassle.
been doing an hybrid remote work/ office work for the last week and I really just want to crawl under a blanket and just lie down in silence.
and I got to go see my family this week-end...ugh...
I live in fear of my office deciding to reopen, still I don't think they will, I'm one of the lucky ones
Oof
Hope you get a chance to decompress soon 
in my case it was voluntary, I know I rather fall in the : "hermit of the wood" category of peoples, so I'm trying to get used to have peoples in my bubble again.
Just way rougher than I initially expected
I'm stuck in my bubble. I was in an art workshop thing in... April? But since then I've just been at home.
Probably going back to that workshop next month tho.
hope for you it's going to go ok
I hope so too. I just need to ask for accommodations.

Vahalla is a good choice, almost always
Yeah, my phone tries to spoil MHA for me and I have ideas of what the future holds but... I try to scroll past
I'm still not ready for the series to end. This arc is the final arc. Still means we got a few years BUT STILL
On the one hand, learning that something you enjoy is coming to an end can be sad. But, we've also seen what can happen if something goes on too long (looking at you Naruto/Bleach.)
Bleach's is even worse when you find out why.
When the it was SUPPOSED to end, he was forced to keep making more...
But when he FINALLY started to like was he was making, they started to pressure him to end it. He resisted. So they gave him a final chapter date...
Ugh, that bites
Yep. He actually was TRYING to get cancelled during that first post-Aizen ark.
That's actually very interesting, but makes sense once I think back
Mild work rant as a internet/phone support person: One of my biggest peeves is when people have a 3rd party in the call AND DON'T TELL ME.
Good day all, has there been any progress into the investigation of Neleimour? Or is there somewhere I can go for news regarding it?
It's an internal company investigation and there's been no information on here about it. People have been asked to use the company's contact page if they have information to share: https://www.singularity6.com/contact
I see. Well, hopefully this isn't one of those "ignore it until people forget" kinda' deals like it's sounding to be. Thanks for the link!
It’s definitely not an “ignore it” thing but bringing thousands of people who have no involvement into it (not saying you were doing this, people were doing so earlier) will only make things more confusing and complex, so it’s best to leave it to the people who have the power to further investigate for now until we have a better picture of what’s going on
Fair enough, that makes sense. I am just kind of the conduit of information for all my friends that left the server. So I was hoping to have found something out to share. I appreciate the reply.
I joined the discord today. what's happened 🤔 ?
As it's an internal company thing, there's really not much to discuss about it here.
I'm sure we'll get some news about it when all is said and done.
she posted a sad excuse of an apology on her twitter and won’t let people reply to it
That not something I want to shove my hand in but i feel I need at least to say that: whatever happened, we probably don't know half of it, that why there's an investigation. Whatever peoples think about her excuses, it's in the end an opinion and shouldn't have an impact on what you think happened.
Singularity 6 is doing the best for her and the potential victims by doing an investigation that, at least I hope, will go deeper that someone on twitter heard from someone. I will trust the company to handle this. Until then, while it might be satisfying, being riled up or talking about what she wrote or did is not going to help a lot.
I can assure you that the issue is not being ignored. We are investigating the issue and we will take all appropriate actions.
Let's keep this channel fun and stress free. 
murning!
good morning
good [timezone]
Good morning!
Hello, anyone knows if the Xp-pen artist 15.6 is good/worth it?
Anyone know any good mobile games❓
I’ve got Old School Rune Scape, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, Dofus Touch, Ragnarok: EL, Plague Inc., and I’ve briefly tried Iruna Online. But nothing is really drawing me in for that long haul of daily mobile gaming. (I have no problem buying games but I don’t do micro transactions.)
I tried Sky recently and really liked it, but honestly don't play mobile games that much sorry
Oh wow, that’s so pretty!!
@scenic stratus I play shogi and wild rift
Ooo! I’ll look them up! I just found a wild silly game called HuntCook, seems wacky and fun, maybe!
Yup yup! I looked them up!
There was a BUG and I almost DIED!!! 💀
a bug...IRL or in the mobile game?
I.R.L! My whole life passed before my eyes….
bugs are our friends...bugs help us...except leaves eating bugs...pssshhh begone pest!!!!
heer...sorry that was my inner gardener speaking
But! TRESPASSING IN MY HOME!!! Look, I leave the daddy long legs in the bathroom alone, he’s the guardian, keeps to himself, all’s good. But the AUDACITY of running at me in the KITCHEN!? Death. Death to bug!!!
ok, this will tolerated. Please write insectoid invasion on line 4 of document B-23.

Gotta watch em’ all!!
Oh definitely, gotta wait for more to come out 😄
listening to bobby tarantino 2 is hitting me with some crazy nostalgia
back in 2018 when i was going through finals
Just a small experiment
If it’s allowed
@slate cave You know the people who slow down near an accident to look at what happened? Griefers and trolls are like that, except they cause the accident in the first place.

Honma Himawari’s viewers suddenly congratulate her on a new baby, and she returns a cheerful thank you in response. Kuzuha and Yashiro Kizuku reel backwards in surprise to this unexpected situation. With the two groups just one step behind the other, comedy gold is about to unfold.
PUCHISANJI is a Japanese animated cartoon series taken from mom...
@scenic stratus Pulling convo to here for our duck overlords sanity, What is stopping you from taking a swim?
Ah, you are wise Smigs!
It’s the virus. My wife was pregnant and I couldn’t risk catching it and giving it to her. A fever would be the worst thing. Now that the kiddos here though, they’re unlikely to get sick, but now there’s two more variants of the virus.
TLDR: tourism/virus
We do have a “secret” beach that we like cuz there’s almost never anyone there. It’s pretty rocky just past the shore and there’s no amenities nearby, but it’s still hard to go out.
It's what I expected but still sad to hear it, At least you are being safe. That's so incredibly cool though, I used to be incredibly into swimming and free diving but living in the midwest of the U.S kinda restricted me lol. I've visited Hawaii in the past, but never had a chance to get past the tourism traps and I was super mad about it.
Swimming is life!!
Yeah, traveling Hawaii is kinda complex, it’s hard to get outside the tourism bubble. I’ve tried not to step into it, haha! I am super sad about the Japanese Walk in Alo Moana though, I’m worried it won’t be opening back up.
lets hope(I say as I just look this up), Covid rates are rocketing but only in areas with out vaccines. My guess tho is anything in hawaii is so profit heavy no company would shut it down if they can help it.
Does hawai have a lot of anti-vaxxers? over where I live everyother person refuses to wear a mask and take a shot
Oh gosh, thats terrible. I’m sorry you’re surrounded by scary people..
As far as I’ve seen most everyone is at least wearing a mask, I don’t know about vax rates though (suppose I could look it up but I’d rather not psych myself out more).
I used to track the number of daily cases but when the island opened back up and the cases started creeping higher I stoped. And yeah, they could only close the island off for so long until the lack of tourism started to hurt everyone. It’s a bad situation.
Everyone is an anti-vaxxer where I live. I'm very glad to still be working from home and have online classes right now. (My university has at least mandated mask wearing on campus though whether a person is vaccinated or not.)
It always has been, and smart move not physching your self out, Hopefully tho this should be the last spike as now it is just dumbo's getting it and we only need herd immunity from about 30% of the population as the other part have vaccine juice.
But hey at least we have the internet can ya'll imagie doing this pandemic without the ability to interact online???
Hey Maythorn, glad you lucked out with work and school from home!!
Oh my gosh Smig, I’d have lost my mind by now. Honestly, the whole reason I found Palia is because I was trying to find an MMO so I wouldn’t be so lonely. I was really going stir-crazy.
I guess at this point how many people here are not just looking for a game but a way to get over the pandemic and even rely on the server, I'm worried it won't match up to the massive expectations this server has for it but either if it flops by the time it releases I imagine 1000's of new cults will be made and so much more worth than the devs expected will have come out from this server
i dont know if this is okay to ask so you dont need to answer if you dont want to, but i'm wondering how your wife got pregnant? sperm donation?
I hope the devs are happy with all of this! I think most of us are here for and happy with the community! The game should just be a wonderful conduit to continue hanging out and making new friends! And since it’s and MMO it’ll likely keep evolving as needed!
Good that thought Rin, kiddo needs me!
i will pat the child
A threat
yes
To be fair my cats try to tentatively pat the child too, haha!
pat pat cat
And yes! Though a sperm bank online and working with a hospital! It costs a whole lot to make a baby the science way, but they’re worth it! We got to the point where we sat down and realized we didn’t want to go the rest of our lives without kiddos, took a good long time to think about it too, till we couldn’t image a future without this little wiggly butt.
SO WIGGLY! I run the night shift to watch over the kiddo (cuz fresh new babies are SCARY, like what if she just stops breathing? That’s a thing! 😱) and when Kit needs a change or food Kit starts wiggling without waking up and flailing their arms like one of those wacky waving inflatable arm things that you see in front of car lots, haha!!
oooh her cute internet nickname is kit?
Yes! I have decided! Kit 
kit karsa and Mysterious Wife (Whose Internet Name You Told Me And I Forgot)
.....was it based off kitsuu
BlueFox28 💙
OH!!! No, hahaha! But that works too! I’m calling her Kit because that’s what you call a baby fox!!
fox and karsa and kit
God that is adorable! I'm super happy for you two.
Yes! Thank you

For sure!
how do you find people you wanna date
cause my luck with men has been AWFUL
so idk how people meet nice normal people
are there any normal people around 👀 ?
I thought we are all fucking crazy unique people 🤣
ya but at least a type of crazy that isnt harmful is nice
Weirdly enough, being normal is not...normal. Everyone is always built with a quirk or trait that makes them unique compared to someone else.
ok but still a non harmful variant of crazy is nice
i deleted the message about my circumstances already but im pretty sure karsa saw what i meant by my luck being bad
I have some insights from my Best Friend on how he found his, and my own if you want them.
As soon you realize that he might hurt you it's the right time to brake up
Oh Rin, that’s a hard one! I’m so sorry your luck has been that terrible.
I met my wife on a lunch break, and honestly I had just gotten out of a monster of a terrible relationship. All my relationships had been terrible to be completely honest with you. We kinda instantly found out we were the same type of weird and wanted to be friends. But I was about to move back to my parents to start over after that terrible relationship. Days before my flight she asked me to be her roommate… and I already had plane tickets!! ….. so I flew all the way back! Honestly we were just friends and roommates for the longest time (“and they were roommates!?”)
So my advice, my real, honest advice, is to not go looking for a relationship. Build friendships and excellent communication. The world is terrifying, and meeting people online has never worked for me because it’s so hard to find genuine people…
oh my god they were roommates
Exactly!!
the life is painly rewarding. no pain no gain.
Karsa you lucky bastard
I don't really go out much.. I don't have a job or anything and the world is a little too overwhelming
Sorry if I’m not much help. My wife and I are super weird I think.
Yes, not bumping into people in the real world is super detrimental to finding friends and relationships…
The person I currently date has that same problem actually, They got around it by going to clubs and events that hold no requirement so they could pull out quickly if they started to be overwhelmed. It's actually how I meant them initially was at a small party with friends than later at a club event.
Oh... I guess maybe I could try looking for those in my area...?
I've never gone clubbing or anything before though
No not a club I meant like a swim club or chess club,we meant at a underwater hockey club, they didn't even like the sport though but only a few meetings is enough for super compatible peope to click
You bet your butt I am, this is the absolute best timeline!
somehow i read underwater hockey as underwater chess and i was like... what
underwater hockey?
Sports gettin wild nowadays!
Yes
My relationship actually came to fruition from VRChat 
We dont have that but we do have underwater basket weaving
what are you, a nereid?
A what

greek mythology thing i think
i remembered something about nereids doing underwater basket weaving in percy jackson...
U right
Uhhhh I Must stay awake.
But sleep is soooooo good~
Yeah it is. But it's my turn to handle the kids.
Ahhhh yup, that outweighs glorious sleeps, yup yup.
Oh no... This week's My Hero chapter. I think there's onion ninjas in my house.
I think that I need a new book series to read. 🤔
More are coming forward with abuse allegations.
15 people have come forward so far, if my count is right.
Same stories about N*leimour’s behavior. Same thing, over and over. https://t.co/n4jdyRJ5Mo
I consider long manga series to be a good read and they're in book form. 😄
Is there a certain genre you prefer?
kitty
Unfortunately, Rin, meeting people in a pandemic is pretty much a universal problem.
Looks like a cat I had a while back. Her name was Samantha.
My longing for Wildstar is growing once more...
I wish they didn't make the mistake of targeting the smallest minority of MMO players and expect it to be a smashing success.
The latest petition to bring Wildstar back on change.org doesn't even have 300 supporters... 😦
That's what happens when you aim to make your game enjoyable by the people who don't enjoy MMOs. 😦
It had SUCH PROMISE. The story was nice too.
I had mountain dew without thinking about it after days caffeine free. I am filled with regret
And I posted to the wrong channel on top of it! I blame the caffeine.
I've been caffeine free since 2006. It gets easier over time, but even after 15 years, I still crave it daily, but the cravings are less intense.
Wow that's impressive! Great job Odd-Ball! I feel like it's kinda similar to other addictions in a psychological way. It can stick with you if it was a big part of your day.
i should try to get rid of caffeine, too. but i already quit tobacco, so i'm fine on the quitting thing for now
depends on your area, the bars/clubs in my area suck and have rowdy drunks
Imma be single for life at this point xD
nothing wrong with being single. just means you don't have to share your fries
excellent point
I want to share my fries. I can't eat them anyway, and I hate eating alone...
same. food is always better with friends/family
I can't comment. I found my boyfriend while actively assuming I'd never meet anyone and trying to just have fun with my life.
that's how my partner and i got together
you see, where I live is a shit fest of a town, so I think I'll stick to a pizza box full of poutine to myself
sounds like the town i'm currently serving my living purgatory in
I mean, best case scenario is someone from out of town goes to the university and we hit it off, but most of the locals are drunks looking for one offs
My only hope is dating apps....
yeah, that's kinda my story. both my partner and i are from other states than where we met or currently live
I moved to my current town just before covid. I don't know where anything is.
well since covid hit, a few places have disappeared, so even locals are confused some times
Yeah, everytime I go downtown in my city something new is gone :(
Lost my favorite movie theater, a lovely bird themed juicery, an old timey arcade, and a really good sushi place.
Yeah, they named all their juice blends after birds, the parakeet was the best, lemon, orange, and a bunch of other stuff.
my boss shouldn't have never shown me the Juicero...now every time someone speak about juice I just think about the 700 $ juice press...
Mostly fantasy&romance stuff.
So I uh, I've pulled the trigger on my job applications
@hollow lynx you know one thing thats actually a travesty? There's barely any isekai anime from female leads, hell theres barely any non harem isekai :<
Ikr
I want more females I mean I love a male Lead I can relate with but females lead are cool
And why harem everywhere lol
Like almost every isekai has the harem tag
I know it’s annoying why can’t there Jsut be one lover lol
I need sleep thou so I dont “accidentally” stab a coworker
Cause the creators live their Dream in the anime
Sleep well
Yeah thank you lol I’ll be on around mid might central time
does anyone want a YouTube Premium code? its for 3 months
male lead with male harem 👀

like, how not to summon a demon lord was alright after like episode 4 when they stopped being so overly horny
Ugh we had some starter exams today.
...how did we come to talk about harems?
I would say good luck but i'm sure you don't need it!
My so cute, gonna be spoilt I think.
i swear theres already female harems with male leads, female harems with female leads, and male harems with female leads, but no male harems with male leads
Abs how not to summon a demon lord is funny I like it
That would be interesting
Not gay or anything but the more the better
I just want a iseki that has a male/female lead with one lover instead of like 6 like a harem lol
Why are there so few mixed harems? Male/female lead harem of assorted.
Idk
Should be more
But a good anime about 2 lovers is good too
No need to shower the lead with lovers when just one would do
Fill it with male, female, enby and just every sentient species on said world! NOTHING LEGAL IS OFF LIMITS!
Just make a mash up with everything lol
I wish I could post picture
Would show you the animes I watch
My favorite is shield hero
I love our little raccoon sword maiden lol
All I gotta say... A harem full of anything that passes the "Harkness test"
you can post image links and they embed in this channel i think
I think it's just no embed.
Yeah. I can put a snip. But look up the Harkness test if you don't know.
Jack is the ultimate pan.
Not really into that stuff but you do you lol not gonna lie thou he is a good looking man
i have no idea what you guys are even talking about anymore
Captain Jack Harkness.
a character in doctors who
oh is that who the harkness test was based off
Yep.
Love the hat btw @young palm
Thanks. It's my wife's. I stole it.
Lol nice
I got work in like 6 hours
“Can’t wait” yayyyy
Lol
Also tbh if I could be a real cat person I would 100%
I all ready act like one anyway so you know lol
As you can see I have adhd and can’t focus on One thing lol
A lot of sTuff going though my head

Log Horizon has a really good isekai story. If you want a female lead female harem id look at "I've been killing slimes for 300 years and maxed out my level"
Konosuba is another good isekai but with a male lead who has useless companions who make more trouble than they're worth
I'm waiting on "Skeleton Knight from Another World" bc it looks super cool and I'm excited for it haha
nyanta was my first crush
That gif is basically the whole point of Palia.
Palia entering the mmo community all:
One can dream...
I couldn't resist. I saw this when looking to see how much of the trailer is in the keyboard. lol
i was expecting a kitty
I actually love how the gif maker added the overused blue filter almost every action and/or gritty show/movie uses.
Very heavy blue hued bleach bypass
SPEAKING OF BLEACH.
There was a one shot for a new story this week in Shonen Jump. ... Please let us get a new series.
Kubo Tite seems like he's got a REALL GOOD story idea, and hopefully won't be forced to kill it and can end it when it should!
Why is it so hard to leave the Warhammer shop?
Because the blood god demands more blood.
@austere lance Most hilarious for me was on my paladin, and half the party was fighting for his affections. Then when walking through the temple district a kid ran up claiming I was his father,with his mother behind him. My character didn't even have a chance to respond before the party berated the lady defending me, for 10 minutes of dialog before I even had a chance to make a dialog choice. I couldn't stop laughing.
meanwhile the paladin being like : but I just want to serve my gooooooddd leave me alooone!!
Lol
Ooh I've heard good things about konosuba and had been meaning to pick it up! Yay glad to have spotted this msg
Ye! It's hilarious, though a heads up it does have its "moments" here and there, though from my understanding with Konosuba, every even episode they wrote the anime normally, but for every odd numbered episode, they had ecchi artists and people help work on it lol. But all the same it's one of my favorites, and the moments isn't too intrusive to where it distracts from enjoying the anime too. Let me know how you like it!
And iirc they even announced a new Konosuba animation project that may or may not be a season 3.
All of it is on Crunchyroll too! (Should be anyways)
I appreciate the heads up! Yeah my friend who recommended it had said something along those lines but said it's largely for comedic effect xD
Ya np! It's definitely for comedic purposes and it's amazing lmao. The MC is probably one of my most favorite anime protagonists of all time. You'll see why lol
Ever tripped over air?
I Jsut did that
Has anyone watched my hero academy
And rising of the shield hero
Two very good animes
And that time I got reincarnated as a slime is great too
Also I kill slimes for 300 years abs maxed out my level reminds of of this game kinda
Raphtalia would deffinitely have her place in Palia lmao
India is moving their GSLV rocket to the launch pad from their really colorful assembly buildings:
Nice
They're launching a new geostationary Earth observation satellite on the 12th (pending good launch conditions)

Rising of the shield hero is great. It's getting two new seasons so I've heard!
currently watching Wotaku ni koi wa muzukashii
surprisingly havent watched this even though it came out in 2018
but its pretty good...love the gaming/anime references
What's that?
anime lol
I've never heard about it sorry
Good Antares launch, with Cygnus heading for orbit
That's funny, I m reading the manga
Nice! No spoilers tho. I'm sitting patiently for the story to continue haha
Humm. I'm tempted
its funny
an otaku dating another otaku and why its bad sometimes
but why it works.
makes sense, this anime is centered more toward women
I really like Miyazaki movies
I really like slice of life stuff
Though I like all genres if done right
Also I've heard of the otaku one. It's uh
Wotakoi, love is hard for otaku right?
I love the way Japanese tries to teach values
No politics or any agenda pushing either. Entertainment for the sake of entertainment
Also found a magical girl anime that looks super cute. Has a tropical twist on it and I'll be watching it after i finish Log Horizon 2 and 3
🤷
The most important thing is the vibe
As long you feel something it means that's good
Well yeah that what I implied too lol
yes
Kikis Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, and nausicaa
I thought you would have said totoro
ok ppl will hate me for this
but i actually dont like totoro
I liked porco rosso more
Totoro is actually under a few of his films for me
Arrietty, howl, and castle in the sky are even above it for me
Never watched any of those
omg i cant believe i forgot my spirited away!
You said top3
i shall seppuku
You had to choose
Yeah im saying totoro is below all those films
Sounds so Italian
its about a pirate pig that flies a plane
i was actually not too keen to watch it but it turned out really good
Im changing my three
My bad
Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and Kiki Delivery service
I thought in English was something like red piggy
it might be....I dont know italian
Miyazaki is a top notch
But its a Miyazaki film....Porco Rosso
I know it
cool not many ppl do
It's a parody to red baron
thats what happens when your fingers dont type what your brain is telling it to
nighttt
I hate how hot it is. Our AC isn't the best...
Same
Make it’s hard t relax
@twin nexus you can message if you like if you want to talk about anime again
Kinda missed out on that sorry I had to got o bed right when you wanted to talk
Why are there so many random section in the discord lol
Good and noms is my favorite
lol
The different channels are so that people can gravitate to the specific topics / interests they want to engage in:3
so if I want to feel very hungry I go to food and noms 😛
What are some animes that inspire this game ?
I know the games but we’re there any anime
ghibli
studio ghibli
@craggy oxide Moving down here. lol
fair, consider my reply in the other channel
There's a more recent warp theory that was published last year that's ACTUALLY viable within 100 years but reliant on us actually figuring out fusion power. Which we're close on that after they flipped the D and it was all "Oh. We did this wrong for so long. BACK TO 1 BUT WE CAN PROGRESS!"
But the other problem is still radiation.
It's partly why we haven't just sent someone to Mars. We have TECHNICALLY been able to for a long time. But as soon as we start getting past the moon, no more free radiation shield.
I don't know what that means, but I watched a video a few months ago that outlined a model that worked if we used Negative Energy (which isn't possible), and then another a little while later that worked out those same equations that wouldn't require Negative Energy if nuclear fusion were possible.
Yeah. That first warp theory we had was more like the "coaxial warp" in Voyager, where it folds space to move the vessel.
But yeah, it's the more recent one I'm excited for. We COULD in theory power it with just normal nuclear power we have no, but the vessel would be all reactor/engine.
I mean the concept in VOY has been the same concept since TNG
It would be a form of nuke energy we aren't capable of right now though
and like, I honestly don't care about what might be possible a hundred years from now, I'm interested in what we'll be capable of in our lifetime
Well it's possible our lifetime sees semi-immortality becoming possible. 😄
Also there's been no major jumped in normal nuclear power because people are scared of it when all major incidents have been preventable. Like "Don't build a reactor there. It will cause a disaster" so Japan builds it there... 😦
Yeah but then again probably 95% of industrial accidents had as a main cause a human factor...what change are the consequence of such accidents.
good morning off-topic btw!
But there is a major difference between "Oops I drove a forklift into that and spilled chemicals" to "Hey. Every agency on the planet that knows nuclear says DON'T DO THAT so you did it." In terms of reactors built to reactors having failures, it's still a major success. 😄
But people also think the Large Hadron Collider will end the universe.
peoples will believe anything, as long as it not coming from an official source.
yeah with really good choice like : hey we could use our money to make our shareholders happy OR we could reinforce our Tsunami wall and do some change to our plants...because you know...our back-up generator are BELOW the water line... Nah let make the shareholders happy...
Oh gods it can be REAL BAD sometimes. People will just believe the FIRST thing they're told and that's it. I work at an ISP and so many times some 3rd party vendor will just blame the ISP without troubleshooting... And we spend WEEKS having to convince them it's not us. And proving it 20+ times...
I'm just happy not being in the support/QA team of where I work, I don't have to deal with that kind of things.
RE: Nukes: In the history of nuclear energy as a power source, literally the number of catastrophes is infinitesimal. Nuclear energy isn't the problem, bad faith reporting and wives' tales are.
RE: Tech Support: Having been both on the manufacturer and third-party sides of troubleshooting, I can say with confidence that it's neither's fault, and is 95% user error.
yeah...I'm working on a security/access control software...the number of things the user can ask us... and they are IT
NO WE WON'T GIVE YOU AN EASY WAY TO CIRCUMVENT THE SECURITY WE PUT UP IN PLACE.
Security that's on a 1997 Windows NT server framework
Oh I love when people call us and demand we open the ports used for internal Windows processes...
I worked for a third-party IT callcenter once, and someone in-house gave admin password to an employee, who then later called us for tech support due to malware. They used the admin password to install p-rn games on their company-owned laptop.
I forget which 4 or 5, but EVERY ISP has them blocked for security reasons.
This is why you always scan your naughty games. Duh.
easily 99% of security breachs are usually human based
Oh the ISP I work for is a GIANT data breach waiting to happen.
that why we have pen test and fishing test from time to time
Our exchange domain has been getting frequent phishing emails and it's been confirmed they're NOT IT placed bait to find out who's a liability.
I mean, as sophisticated as website coding has become, just the act of visiting any given site is enough to get infected these days.
Our IT's only done their "who's stupid" test twice...
It's why I keep telling our IT AdBlockers need to be default installed in the images.
Ads have become the #1 source of malware.
Related to the malware story I told, as a direct result of that event, the company I supported started sending fake phishing emails every 2 weeks. Our call volume doubled.
And funny enough... More likely to get infected on ads when on church websites than naughty video sites.
the problem with 3rd party ad blockers is that it's fairly difficult to identify ones that aren't themselves malware
Even worse.. Working business ISP support. I've been verbally abused by more pastors then hotel owners.
and ad blockers from known sources such as Norton or McAfee might as well be malware themselves
I love my UBlock Origin.
AdBlock Plus used to be the go to... But they sold out. Advertisers can pay to be whitelisted on ABP...
UBlock is great, but they have a hard time keeping up w/ Chrome updates. Any time Chrome has a major update, UBlock devs take at least two weeks to update
Also to be fair, what isn't these days?
Firefox. 😄
Firefox also doesn't support a lot of web apps due to "security" that aren't security issues at all.
Well it's most likely those apps exceed a data collection threshold.
But you can also break half the internet if you crank up Firefox's privacy to max. LOL
Remember, if it's a free service, you're the product.
I may be using the wrong terminology. I'm referring to java-based applications on websites. Or CSS, or even HTML 5. There are some sites that simply don't display properly, or at all, on Firefox.
I rarely run into that, thankfully. And its usually garbage systems my company uses...
I gave up reporting possible security risks to our IT. They don't follow best practices.
It's even likely we have a data breach and nobody's noticed yet.
I won't lie. I'm not worried about data collection. If someone wants to buy a list of the p-rn sites I visit, that's their money to spend. The only things I lock down are my mic and webcam.
Oh I'm with you there. I don't care that much, but I won't make it easy.
I need to get around to setting back up my old router. I've started to build an ad-block DNS with plans for a personal VPN on a Pi.
I'm lazy. Once I'm gainfully employed again, I'm probably going to subscribe to NordVPN
But why I, and a few others, think our company network is compromised: People have had their credit cards stolen a few times when buying stuff while on work PCs.
And we're talking about from Amazon, not "suspicious-store-site.sus"
Vivaldi is an interesting Chrome alternative
The thing about Chrome is that I'm willing to sacrifice my usage data in exchange for cross-platform parity.
I would be using Apple products for the same reason except Windows/Chrome/Android is more affordable for me at the moment.
I used to be ok with Apple products. But the iPhone's recent years... "Look! We made almost no change! Pay us even more please!"
Or that they keep making it harder and harder to repair all devices. Or the fact they keep getting caught purposely trying to make old devices unusable.
I'm also bitter about that iPhone X. "HEY LOOK! Bigger! ... And with the power of the Galaxy S6. Weaker then the other phone we just released..."
Having worked for Apple through a third party recently, I can say that 1) the changes are mostly software-related, with the exception of the camera, which has become much more sophisticated and 2) they, in fact, have not deliberately made old devices unusable. The iPhone 6 battery issue was simply Apple dropping the ball on their iOS framework as they developed tools to make the OS backwards compatible. It was fixed in a later update. And the result of that experiment has led to iOS 14 being compatible as far back as iPhone 7.
The X, XS, and XS Max are superior to the Galaxy of the same generation. Only the XR is inferior, and that's by design.
Being a developper on Mac, I must say we were worried about the new M1 processor...finally the conversion won't be so bad.
Have they gotten around yet to unifying the iOS and MacOS frameworks they announced like 3 or 4 years ago, so that devs don't have to program apps in separate languages?
Our problem was kind of solved long ago...we used xamarin
performance are far from stellar but at least we can use one language for all our platofrm
*platform
I'll be honest, I don't know what that means. All I know is that in the same Keynote where they showcased their AR capabilities was the same one where they announced that they'd be unifying the iOS and MacOS frameworks.
Xamarin is a library that allow to program in C# on MacOs, iOS and Android.
Hum for what I know MacOs and iOS still have two separate framework
I recall them saying something along the lines of it would be some time before it was fully implemented
It's just been a couple years since I worked AppleCare so I wasn't sure if it had come to pass or not
They really just need to stop making self/3rd party repair harder. Hopefully the bill for "right to repair" actually gets through in the US.
I mean
90% of the calls I took while working AppleCare were ppl with screens that no longer worked because they got it repaired through a 3rd party that didn't know wtf they were doing
or something similar
That's on them, but it still should be made easier and 1st party kits.
it's not difficult for a 3rd party to field repairs, they just need to certify w/ apple. it's their fault if they don't
I'm sorry I gotta jump in here, but apple literally restricts the people who make there parts from selling them anywhere else so third parties will never have the parts needed
Third parties who certify with Apple can get parts directly from Apple to make basic repairs. For things that require mail-in repairs, those same third parties can do so at no cost to themseves or the user.
Unless that policy has changed within the last three years.
It hasn't
Wait so third parties still need to mail in repairs to apple?
If there's damage or potential damage to the electronics, yes. They can do battery and screen repairs though.
And despite what ppl think, the same goes for any other manufacturer. Any third party that tells you they repair the circuitry in-house is lying.
That or you found the rare expert that actually can. But I wouldn't trust. We just go through our phone provider if it breaks.
So let me get this straight, Apple allowed third parties to fix the most basic of issues, but still limits there software and any documentation on how to fix there phones.
so if lets say I have a battery issue on my mac book pro I could pay 1000's still because the shop has to send it in.
Guys the only reason is "hard" is because apple intentionally creates pieces with unstanderdized parts and single seller items, they intentionally make there documentation on there parts impossible to find.
Most provider outlets are certified with Apple and can do screen/battery/button repairs, and will send the device to Apple for electronics.
All I see is a PR stunt by a company who pays Billions lobbying countries to turn down "right to repair" laws
If your macbook pro is still in warranty, you're not paying a dime at a certified apple service provider. if it's out of warranty, you're paying maybe a hundred bucks at most from the same vendor. if you're paying thousands of dollars for a battery repair, you're not at a certified provider and getting ripped off by the provider, not by apple.
When I worked AppleCare, there were people who spent thousands of dollars before calling AppleCare, blaming Apple, when they could have called Apple in the first place and spent a fraction of that for their out of warranty repair.
you don't get what I am trying to say, a repair which could be 10$ is 200$ at a apple repair shop and 500$ at a third part because of the complications apple intentionally puts into there products and restrictions on fixing them. It isnt magic that it only seems like apple does things right and that I "have" to go to apple to not get scammed.
You've got it twisted. It's me that you're not getting. Third parties that are certified with Apple don't charge any more for out of warranty repairs than Apple would if you contacted Apple directly. A shop that isn't certified with Apple is 1) going to use parts that don't meet quality standards and is likely to break again sooner, and possibly worse than before, and 2) going to charge you more because they're scamming you, not Apple. You already have a "right to repair" but you also have a responsibility to do the homework and find out which vendors have your interests at heart and not their wallets.
And literally no device in the history of ever has ever cost $10 and been a reliable repair. That's not how specialized labor works. It doesn't work that way for cars, it doesn't work that way for utilities, it doesn't work that way for houses, it doesn't work that way for electronics. It doesn't work that way peroid.
And Apple isn't doing anything intentionally to take more money from you. This is a practice that every manufacturer observes, with minor differences from company to company. Again, any third party vendor that tells you they're repairing the electronics of your device in-house is 100% lying to you, and are 100% charging you more than if you'd contacted a certified vendor instead.
lmao did they shoot that boat w/ a 50cal

Im not tuching that apple dissussion e en if i know one person is really wrong and the other right xD
I should probably do the same, but tinfoil hats are one of my triggers apparently
you assume much xD
But also correctly ;]
umm okay.
Of course my one track mind looked at that and thought it was half of a fairing shell for a space craft
just kek the pain away
ok wholesome thing of the day : I showed my kid how to ring and then run and then we tried it on his aunt.
when she came out I just screamed : run!!! and we ran away...at least until the aunt asked for her mandatory kid hug.
^ I'm gonna cry
what going on?
Oh it was just very cute
Lol we had starter exam on English today.
@lusty dew https://villagercard-uep3l.ondigitalocean.app/ is the card generator have fun!
An UNOFFICIAL generator to create your own villager cards.
I asked the teacher to fix the exam, because it had one q that had two correct answers and the system tought that I picked the wrong answer. 😅
Thanks! :D
I got ~98%. Only one q wrong because I can't handle the calendar in English.
The gregorian calendar can be confusing.
The question pertained to a calendar in English, and if I recall correctly both the UK and US use the Gregorian calendar.
time to google which type of calendar is most used to sate curiosity!

I felt this post as I read it
Thanks, Smigsy
I'm still feeling it. Since about 11 PM last night.
Yeah I am. It's a huge leap from my year 2006 grades.
There's a SAT math question that's notorious for potentially all choices being correct or all choices being incorrect depending on how the test-taker solves it.
Okay
I just remembered my brother telling me about something that happened in one of his dwarf fortress play throughs. During a goblin attack one dwarf was holding her baby, and the goblins killed the baby, so the mother enraged by the death of her child, killed over 50 goblins using the corpse of her child as a weapon.
sounds about goblin slayer
I just dumpster dived a chair and a canvas 
We await your art with anticipation
I'll try to come up with something! I'm really slow with my acrylic paintings tho..
No pressure really! You dont even have to post if you dont want to
I will watch the career with great interest 👀
A very 1:20 am early morning where I am! Doing great :3 You?
I'm doing well, thanks for asking. Late night where I am as well. How are you doing? @wooden grotto
Pretty swell, doing some buzzfeed quizzes for fun. @limpid yacht

Hi friends 😁
Greetings!
Today my first born starts her school journey for real. 😳 1st grade. Oh my god...
And I'll skip my first lesson for this.
strawbebby milk....
but strawberryyyy
Ok, maybe it's fine. At least it isn't the worst flavor I've had.
i also like vanilla and strawberry
i prefer regular mint but most places only have mint choc chip so I'll accept that
i dont like other kinds of chocolate icecream though
Mint is pretty alright
i think ive had just mint in the past but it wouldve been ages ago so it mightve been a fever dream
maybe i live in a web of lies
I haven't had any ice cream in a good while. Can't wait for Winter to come around so I can buy some of it for mega cheap
horrifying
winter icecream is good
i am too weak for it
but its cheaperrrr
Also you can leave it outside and not worry about it melting
and its cheaper
Mostly cheaper, yeah
Too bad it being Winter also means seeing nothing but Christmas.
power play: fly to the southern hemisphere to buy icecream and then fly back
its totally cost effective
if u buy enough it would be
Ultimate play: just buy and eat the ingredients for ice cream instead. That stuff probably doesn't melt
eat an entire stalk of vanilla
Eat raw strawberries! ...Wait...
nom
A very unholy amount of candy is also lovely
gambit can i have candy
Only a little.
aw ok
Liquorice or Salty Liquorice as ice cream is nice, but alot of folks dont like liquorice
ew liquorice
I'll still never get how people can eat liqorouice.
Also whoever decided it should be spelled like that should be slapped
Blame english speakers, my native tongue its rather unique and simple to say compared to other words, also Liquorice yum and Salt Liquorice yum
In German it's easy
Lakritz
I don't really like it apart from a very few selected Haribo items
Like those rolled up ones, they are nice
Also.. I feel upset because there is one girl who apparently likes me, but is never set to online when we talk but when she assumes I'm not there she is online 😦
alternative way of thinking, albeit super positive, maybe whoever this person is, does not like distractions from others hence offline
alternative way of thinking, albeit super negative, maybe whoever this person is, does not exactly that super into you as you thought and possibly wants to have their own time.
Well, she talks to me in offline mode xD but comes online and talks to others whenever I head offline xD
I am wary anyway, for several reasons I'm not going into here, I'll just keep my feet still and wait xD
I'm not jealous or something like that, it's just something I've noticed in the last few days that she does this
So upset is probably the wrong word used here, it's curious though
i always do that too
I am printing some letters at works
It's an absurd amount of paper.. two different letters
One letter is 6 sheets of paper each
The other one is 3
And I have 87 of one and 91 of the other one
Ooof
thats quite a lot
Yeah
I was smart enough to ask for a certain way of doing it so I can cut it down by a few hundred pages xD
I also relieved my boss of the need to sign each letter individually by getting his signature, scan it and paste it into the letter
No idea why it hasn't been done before
Ooo I hear ducks outside my window!
Ducks?!
Yep! We live next to a giant pool, lots of bird life :) ducks have been away for a while though
Also I just saw the time and I'm running late argh! Bbl

blame the ducks! it all the ducks fault!
@empty vessel Shia Labeouf, the transformers man gone wild
Oh
the "just do it" man
For real though, there's never a best time for anything, never a right time, so literally just do it
So legit out of thr blue while we are working together be like "get coffee with me. Now."
Maybe a little less demanding xD
"Take me to coffee place"
Being polite is a very good thing
"We get coffee"
Confident and polite are key factors to most things in life
"M'lady. Might you care for a fine hot beverage of espresso and frothed milk this evening, chaperoned by yours truely"
Or: You got plans after work or do you wanna get coffee with me?
If they like going to the Ren fair that would be a hit.

haha
depending on how well you know them “hey i’d like to get to know you better, do you want to get coffee/lunch/[insert activity of choice]”
Best advice I can give you, don't overthink it
A template my friend uses is this. Polite greeting, polite compliment, polite request.
Be computer, ask/request, don't demand
Sounds forced
Being polite is forced, being rude is easy
😩 not what i mesnt
seconding this
Yo. Whats good baby gorl, lemmie take you out to dinner and show you what a real man is like

"Oh hey I was just going to go grab coffee. Would you want to join me" if you just know them in passing or something

Hi/Hello, you look gorgeous today, would you like to join me for a cup of coffee?
i would say calling someone gorgeous is a bit forward but could just be me
True it doesnt work
oh yeah i also don’t drink coffee, ‘getting coffee’ is kind of just a commonly used phrasing for getting a drink/snack
There is a reason I haven't asked a lady out in over 3 years.
i mean neither
yeah I was going to say, maybe instead say "Oh hey! I was wondering if you wanted to grab coffee with me. You're always fun to talk to" or name something specific about a mutual intereste
🎷
💨 good morning
NISH
I feel like everyone is over thinking this but it could just be me being an emotionless wreck, just ask: Would you like to <insert activity> sometime?
omg hi cinna
I would listen to Cinna, as she if most likely saying what would work with her.
Then say exactly that!
See, you solved it yourself
Literally the worst thing that you can do, that will 100% fail, is: Not asking
I CANT JUST SAY THAT TO A PERSON WHAYT THE
You wanna take my job as the wise person Cinna?
lmao okay I gotta go channel this productivity into werk baiii
O7
gnight y’all, good luck fin!
Theres absolutely 0 possible eay i could just say that i likes someone or enjoy them because id be scares they dont enjoy me and then id just feel bas
secret feelings feel better than public sadness xD
Bravery isn't the absence of fear, it is overcoming it.
the absence of fear is foolishness.
bro i not scared just dont wanna be sad
Which is why it's also brave to "NOPE" out of situations.
