I've been thinking too, and it's been a good while since I've really slept in my bed hah hah I guess since waking up Thursday morning, since I tried and failed to have a nap on my couch-thing that evening And then didn't sleep for like twenty hours until I had to take another (this time successful) nap Friday evening so that I would survive until at least midnight for the new year And now it's early Saturday morning, I haven't slept in my bed for somewhere around forty-four hours I'm hoping to get a nice good rest now

man how the fuck do people quit smoking? It's been a fucking day and just knowing I'm trying to quit makes me want a smoke even more
By not purchasing cigarettes and then withstanding the withdrawal symptoms for a while.
Rei@earth
theres also nicotine patches
S C
It sucks ass, that's for sure, but like It's possible, and I'd save a lot of money, and from what I understand if I keep smoking it's gonna mess with HRT when that time comes, so I figure it's best to just fucking stop
Fuck it sucks

Anno
you won't have to I'm pretty sure
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Most studies don't find those substitutes particularly effective. They work on the false assumption that you should ween yourself off of the psychoactive substance. Technically it's not impossible, but drawing it out with a substitute tends to make it more difficult to stop. It's easiest to just go cold turkey, albeit a struggle.
But to defeat addiction, you have to be willing to struggle. Shortcuts will keep you using. They're just the brain tricking you into giving it the substance it wants.
S C
It's not the cig I'm addicted to, it's the fucking nicotine
S C
I've kinda resigned myself to the knowledge that I will, sooner or later, crack again, but I'm still gonna try, and if I do go back to the cigs, I'll at least smoke a lot less, and then try again

S C
I mean cigs kinda sell themselves, so there being marketing involved at all anymore is strange to me It's hard to really do much to further market a product that has "this will kill you early" on the front, and generations who absolutely know it will absolutely ice them still go "fuck it, give me a pack" when they turn like 20
Cigs for real sell and market themselves so long as they can technically be sold legally
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
yeah but everyone wants to die so ofc they want to smoke
S C
Not wrong honestly People who tell smokers like "you know that's bad for you right" are the dumbest shits out there Like my man, it says so on the pack I took this out of, I'm aware I knew when I started it'd kill me, and I still started, you reminding me like, several years down the road isn't doing a thing
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
also in half of HBO netflix properties every character is a chainsmoker
S C
that's cause smoking has had a resurgence as a nostalgic coolness signifier it'll faze out sooner or later
all that marketing big tobacco was allowed to do last century really got it entrenched into cinema
S C
bigtime and now, since we also know it's REALLY bad for you, it adds almost another layer of coolness to characters, signaling that they're kinda nihilistic about their own life it has been given the "not suicidal, but not particularly concerned with survival" energy
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
thats why cigarette smoking will never die because most people in the modern world have had times where they arent concerned about survival most people have thought like "if i got hit by a car today i wouldnt have to do so-and-so" everyone is yearning for the sweet release of death even as they fear it
S C
And it's even more prevalent among younger people, I'd imagine, unless the olds are just less keen to talk about it
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
yeah i think the olds just don't want to admit it all these old coots are like "all you can do is muddle through that's what we did back in the day no matter how hard it gets" even though they thought the same things young people fetishize despair though so we're more likely to talk about it our suffering and our misery is aesthetic and young people don't tend to feel as strongly that they need to hide it completerly instead young people turn it into humor
S C
It's also a very simple and immediately important thing to everyone to relate through We all feel like shit, we're tired most of the time, and we're being thrown into a world that's fucked in layers we're only starting to peel back, so going "God I wish I was hit by a car so I didn't need to do this" is relatable for like, everyone We've yet been milled and molded into weirdos who think this is normal and cool, well most of us anyway
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
My boss is obsessed with "speaking hope into young people" but he doesn't understand the problem. He's always asking "how do we reach them?" and saying that we need to work hard to expand the distance our social media posts go and things like that, and the other week, I just got fed up with it and told him that young people won't engage with the messages he wants them to. It's easy to reach people through social media, but getting them to actually engage with it is totally different. People engage with these things at a superficial level only because everyone is hopeless. Nobody thinks anything is going to help them, especially not a post or a podcast from some cishet white Christian psychologist. It's not about being positive, it's about accepting the despair, if you want someone to listen to you.
S C
what a fucking nerd lmao you reach young people in distress by talking to them and showing you know shit sucks ass cause it does suck ass
Rei@earth
the reason I suggested nvm listen to kirara
S C
you'd think your boss would like, get this stuff isn't it sorta like, his career?
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
You have to remember that therapists are generally people who grew up in good homes, and psychologists especially. They tend to be out of touch, especially when they're in their late 40s or 50s. They don't spend time around young people outside of the therapy room, and young people aren't generally able to look at themselves in the big picture like I'm talking about. So people like my boss, and frankly my colleagues as well, don't really see it.
that seems like the exact wrong demographic to become psychologists
S C
I mean yeah, it does make sense that it is that way, but jesus it's a messed up way for it to be does explain how the entire field has traditionally and probably still is in large part been used as a cudgel, though
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
I mean, I have my complaints about it, but I don't think most people really understand the despair that hangs over everyone. Even a lot of people who share that despair don't get it. I think people are starting to wake up to it more though. Young people are really amazing. When I was in high school, we didn't think much about all of this stuff, although the despair wasn't quite as heavy as it is today.
S C
Eh, hard to know if it's just colored by seeing it from the outside though I've been fairly loud and shitty online for most of my life but I think only like 3 people I went to school with even knew I had political views or anything I think that goes for a lot of people, it was just directed online and anonymously instead And the same probably goes for feeling like everything's falling apart, too I guess the zoomers are more open about it since online and offline have merged a lot more for them though, maybe
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
I think it parallels the changes in Japanese counterculture and youth culture through the 1980s-2000s, where society became increasingly capitalized and alienated, and young people started become more disillusioned with the system and angry and depressed. In the United States, that heavy alienation was there for a while too but probably due to cultural differences, and the size of the United States, that despair couldn't spread as quickly as it could in a place like Japan. The more atomized and alienated we become, the more that despair grows.
Japan had its own economic problems back during those changes which showed /// made people doubt the system, but in the US, it didn't really get that bad relatively until 2008 or so. Well, more-or-less. I think a lot of countercultures, like incels for example, are a direct outgrowth of that because you saw similar movements during the alienation in Japan in the 1980s-2000s.
S C
The US isn't as dense, either
S C
JP hasn't exactly gotten better though, has it?
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
It's only gotten worse in Japan. That's why there's such a big rise in hikikkomoris and things like that. It's probably the same throughout Asia, where that atomization and alienation started increasing around the same time but I'm not really knowledgeable enough to point to any examples outside of Japan.
I think with social media, though, a lot of the habits built up by the Japanese during those times might translate into behavior overseas though, especially with how accepted anime and manga are now. Those ideas are being transmitted more easily between cultures now.
S C
so we're likely to see an increase in hikki shit? or maybe we already are honestly I don't even really read the news anymore, cause it all seems kinda meaningless to me at this point
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
I think we're already seeing hiki stuff but it's hard to tell if that's due to covid or culture/society. I'm hearing a lot more about agoraphobics these days than I did even two years ago.
S C
what even is that? wiki blurb just says "fear of places and situations that can make you panic or feel anxious" but I feel like that just means you have a mental disorder, at all
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Agoraphobia is basically the fear of leaving your house. People with it tend to stay inside and never leave. Or they try to at least. I think it's different than hikikomori but it's the closest idea we have in the west.
S C
the two conditions seem comorbid, that's for sure
S C
or so my intuition says anyway
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Probably. All the literature on hikikomori is in Japanese though and my Japanese is not at the level high enough to read technical journals
S C
Really I'd assume both of those are two different attempts to try to pin down the same condition I'd be surprised if you were able to find a large sample size of people who fit one of the two, but not the other though I guess it depends on severity for the agoraphobia but certainly beyond a certain threshhold, separating it from hikki-ism seems like it'd be fucking futile
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Yeah, idk I think my boss is going to bring me on his podcast to talk about this stuff at some point
S C
Like even if you're not agoraphobic when you become a hikki, you're gonna develop it very quickly, I feel like I know I for sure deal with well, similar stuff, though not entirely analogous
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Tabun ne A lot of people have depression so severe that they spend literally all day in bed, too, and they rarely or never leave the house.

I was there when I dropped out Barely left the bed to get on the computer for a while, despite it being literally like, next to my bed My floor in my tiny little room was like 3 bottles deep wall to wall bottle carpet Only left because I needed food was like that for like, a week or two I think
I just fucking broke, somehow
S C
actually it was probably longer than that, it's more like it was a week or two before I officially dropped out and had to get my mom to come get me which took a while
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Yeah, a lot of people are in that situation. I have a few clients who only get out of bed to go to therapy.
S C
damn being like that for an extended period seems like, unlivable honestly but I guess at some point you kinda tip over and that concept stops really meaning anything
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
I think a lot of people would say that life is unlivable.
S C
yeah but they still keep going though even I'm still kicking, despite going through waves of total conviction that there's literally nothing in my future that can be considered positive It never quite hits like, actually unlivable, it just fucking sucks A lot, but still

S C
Hard not to just cash out, but also it's easy cause when I cash it out, it turns from an asset without value into actual capital gains, and that's income legally speaking So I gotta sell it for more than the government would give me that period (because they'll take away my payout for that period if I get more than like, a very small amount of income)

basically this thing has to be worth $1100+ before selling it is, for my situation, not a net loss in money And even that's literally scraping exactly by at profit in a theoretical sense, it doesn't account for my real bank account being down half of that month's income Which I do have a buffer for, but I hate being below like 10K NOK I need the buffer to feel safe >>1012010 I'm probably cashing this thing out if it hits a whole eth Sitting on it longer might be wiser, but it could also end up with a situation where I just have a worthless jpg I can't sell And a whole eth would be a really good feeling
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i am hoping it'll be worth at least 1 eth sometime this year, floor prices do be rising but who knows when the music stops

Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
it'll be nice when this stuff is eco friendly not too long now...
S C
it'd definitely make it a lot easier to resolve the conflict in my brain Who knows if eth ever actually will be though, or more specifically if \\\ importantly, if it will stay not-awful as far as carbon output goes it's one thing to go into PoS, but actually staying there is another thing, cause from what I understand it is less secure than PoW
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
eth is kind of bad in terms of carbon output right now, the electricity has increased a lot in the last year still less than bitcoin, and bitcoin's not going to change for a long time if ever
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>>1012014 there's a lot of FUD out there from bitcoin maximalists who are afraid of what seems inevitable to me at this point nothing happens on bitcoin anymore
S C
well, once it hits PoS, I'll presumably be able to stake my eth too, and then I'll be fucking pogging if I could stake a whole eth with a decent apy I'd feel so much more comfortable about using money in general
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
oh yea you could cash out and delegate your stake
月
is price going to jump a shit ton when PoS hits from everyone trying to increase their stake or not really i get what PoS is but i'm trying to imagine what the market implications would be
not that i'm involved in eth or any cypto at all
S C
It's definitely possible it'll spike, at least in the short term hard to really predict though The Big Money likely have already been stocking up on ETH for a while now, so who knows how much of a run there's gonna be
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
the staking APR will go up, surely idk if it'll drive the price up or down, maybe it's already priced in?
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i think it's bullish cuz lots of people have doubts about whether it'll work
S C
bogdanoff might just dümp the whole fucking thing just as PoS hits to rake in the scraps, who knows I hope this picture of not-sailor moon I've got picks up in value before so I can pick up a bit of eth and then ride out the transition

what does one do to make an image into a token
if i were, for instance, making pretty topographical maps and stratographic columns through rigorous geological survey instead of selling them as maps, couldn't they just be tokens instead
>>1012032 i mean maybe maps are pretty, i could see people collecting them
S C
doya intend to sell them as collector's items or something?
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
thats a big subject in terms of putting them on chain you spend eth to do it whether you pay an auctionhouse for the normal format or deploy your own code image hosting is another consideration, ideally you pin the images in IPFS or just have openseq host them
S C
I mean the main issue with it is that you're still gonna need to upload them somewhere, so unless you intend for this to be like an art project that you get cryptonerds to throw money at and collect and trade among themselves, you don't really benefit in any way from minting them as NFTs It costs money to do it in the first place Well, it costs eth or gas or whatever
月
sounds like just selling them normally as normal maps would be more worthwhile
S C
It's probably gonna be a better way to go about it, yeah If you're already well established, or launch a whole fucking collection at once, NFTs possibly can be a way to rake in a bit more money, but I couldn't tell you for sure I know some have a kickback to the original minter (you) for each transaction, but I dunno how common that is or anything
You're also gonna need to do a lot of marketing to make your NFT pop With regular art sales you can just make a post on twitter and @ some DnD guys and stuff, and they'll shuffle it around and maybe someone will catch interest
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
there are so many NFT collections sitting there dead it's not easy to get eyeballs without some kinda angle or in
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
the collections that come out with 8000 randomly generated ones usually pay to get a spot in rarity.tools and they have a whole twitter engagement strat not as easy to do that for a small collection
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
on the other hand, most of them suck ass so there's lots of room for good ones
S C
the sheer number of "variations" they have is kinda key to the whole operation though If there were only 10 apes, nobody would give a goddamn cause no more than 10 nerds could ever own and hype them at the same time You need the people who own the monke to do marketing for the monke
月
i don't think anyone would go for them unless they were like novelty LOTR maps or something anyway at least with real maps you have practical uses for them
S C
Idunno man, there's a surprising amount of people who really like maps But I don't think many of them are also cryptonerds, so you're probably gonna fare best just selling them as regular art pieces map nerds don't buy them to show other people that they own them, after all, they buy them cause they wanna have them on their wall or something

if you make them into art, ideally shiny video files, it could be good
I am alive. Things are still not going particularly well for me but I'm in good spirits. Although I'm pretty much completely out of food. I have some canned soup and enough stuff to make one sandwich, but I'll need those for tomorrow since I'll be walking 9 miles. So I'm having some beef jerky for dinner.
S C
Really living paycheck to paycheck, huh? Or just having issues shopping for groceries without a car?
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
A little of both. I'm blowing all my savings on my car repairs so I don't have much money right now. They also forgot to pay me for like 6 sessions in December so I'm waiting for the rest of my paycheck. But it would take me an hour to go to the store and it's dark out, and my carrying capacity is pretty limited without my car. I could have gone over the weekend, but I was too stressed with the 1st being my 5 year sobriety date and the 2nd being Teacup's death anniversary. So it can't really be helped, you know? But I can survive as long as I ration properly. And I can go a few days without much food if I have to.
S C
Yeah, understandable If it gets too bad, reach out tho I'm not exactly swimming in money either, but I've helped others out with at least a little bit before Though I never figured out how to use paypal, so I'd need some other method
>>1012055 Sankyuu I appreciate it I can afford pretty much everything I need this month honestly but I have to be really careful about spending because if I'm not, I might not be able to afford everything next month since I'll have to pay like $1500 in taxes for 2021 probably.
S C
Well the offer stands anyway There's kind of a limit to how much I can chip in, but I can at least help out like, a little bit if it gets to the point where you feel you need help
S C
my safety net is pretty robust, after all
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
I found some cup udon!!! Time to boil some water. >>1012059 >>1012058 I appreciate it People have been very supportive It's nice
S C
we're all in it together, y'know gotta help out your friends if you can, is how I see it
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
So true!
I tried to get an update on my car today but I couldn't get a hole of my car repair's case worker. I hope I can get an update tomorrow. I had a very nice uber driver tonight but I've also had a bunch that ran red lights and stuff. The one this morning had the ABS and check engine light on in his car.
S C
uber does seem like the kind of work situation that pushes people into stuff like that, and also probably sorta rewards those who already do it anyway
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Yeah. My driver tonight was a math teacher who was running uber to make some extra money. Very nice guy. He was good looking too.
This was the first uber driver who talked to me though And I've been doing like two ubers a day for like a week
S C
I could definitely see myself ending up driving kinda recklessly if I got into ubering people around as a main source of income I already have an unhealthy amount of fun when my car skids out on the winter roads around roundabouts and sharp turns, after all
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
They should make a new Initial D about gig driving.
S C
holy shit that would slap "w-what is Takumi doing? M-m-MULTI FARE DRIFTING?"

crazy taxi reboot
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
It would be so cool. You're like, man, I really need to get to work. And the driver just goes drifting through the turns GAS GAS GAS
S C
Just fucking guns it
S C
There's GOTTA be people who are like, really into racing, who's car is like, super expensive and stuff, who do gig driving just for an excuse to drive, though, right? Like imagine getting picked up by a nissan skyline or something with an engine that sounds like a jet engine
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
not a want but a need
S C
"Your Uber Driver is here: 'Hey I'm outside in the Subaru with the pink neon underlights'"
S C
are underlights street legal btw? I have literally never seen real life footage of one, ever, only in video games and movies
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
They are here
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
I've seen them on trucks more than cars but it definitely happens
S C
I wanna have tonnes of money and get an absurdly riced out subaru with multicolored neons and an anime livery
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
I want a car that has a mechanism that flips its license plate to replace it with another one
S C
I vaguely remember my dad talking about him and his buddies setting up something like that when they were younger It didn't have two, but it did sorta just release the plate at the top so it wasn't caught on cameras
At least I think it was my dad, maybe I heard it somewhere else, it's kinda muddled They got up to a lot of wild shit when they were about my age and down
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Need Imagine all the trouble I could cause
S C
main issue with doing something like that now is having to take your car to a workshop to get it serviced used to be you could do most of that shit on your own, so you could also mod it in highly illegal ways
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Like adding a machine gun!
S C
that as well I guess though firearms have always been very regulated here Could add a few ww2 relics though, I suppose Ain't no tracking those things, I'd wager most people who own them have never told the authorities Well, probably everyone who owns them, cause chances are the authorities don't let you keep them
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Then spikes!
S C
You could probably add a caltrops dispenser relatively easily as is, I think you really just need a latch hooked up to a radio receiver and an activator you can tape to your dashboard
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Maybe I'll do that when I get my car back.
S C
Just make sure you attach the box somewhere out of sight under the car maybe spraypaint it black so it blends in attaching it shouldn't be too hard though, you'd probably just need some tape and a couple of those octopus arms with the hooks on 'em
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
My udon was good! I'm so lucky that I had this. I thought I'd have to eat beef jerky for dinner.
>>1012087 Maybe I should just get a kid to hide in my trunk and whenever I open the trunk, he throws the spikes
S C
certainly a possibility, but I feel like you'd only need to throw the spikes in a situation where them seeing a kid in your trunk would only make your situation a lot worse
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\

I'm currently archiving 99% of sms and MMS I've sent or received to my microSD card to transfer to my new phone. There's no progress bar or completion estimate. It's been almost 5 hours and the archive file is 8GB. 5 hours to basically just copy 8gb of text, metadata and some images sounds incredibly inefficient. Seriously though, it's probably not even compressing them. It wouldn't even be terribly inefficient to make each message a json include it's metadata and tar them all I have no idea why it's taking this long. I'm not a software developer but I feel like something went horribly wrong somewhere in the development of this app. Maybe it's an issue that only comes up when archiving large amounts of text messages so it didn't come up during testing. But I've only had this phone for like 4.5 years, I don't think 160k~ text messages is a lot.
S C
>>1012095 actually looking at the clips on youtube, it seems that's hardly the extent
>>1012104 that looks like more than one milliliter
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
idk it looks like a 1 gram cart
Rei@earth
well 1gram of water at STP is one ml but for an aqueous solution of mass 1g at STP it must have a volume less than 1ml because its water mixed with something else
>>1012107 yea i was thinkin its weird cuz wouldn't THC concentrate be heavier than water but then again water is fuckin heavy
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
also no what if the water is mixed with uhh idk CO2 lmao
Rei@earth
>>1012110 I actually have a chem textbook within arm's reach so im going to check
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
clearly water is not at the absolute extreme of liquid density right? anyway it's basically water its a bunch of suspended RNAs in water or something right
>>1012112 some research suggests that whether or not the volume of an aqueous solution increases, decreases or stays the same depends on properties of the solute
Rei@earth
but in general for dilute solutions the change in volume is negligible and therefore ignored which is probably why I thought that there was no change
i like claire de lune a lot for shorter pieces, it's between claire de lune, rachmaninoff's moment musicaux no 4, and rachmaninoff's arrangement of liebesleid for my favorite there's this really nice kemassi washington version of claire de lune >>>/watch?v=KqJJ-2cRR0M that one's fun

wow what a video
Anno
>>1012211 the first time I saw captain murphy was also the first time I ever tripped on acid I had no idea what I was watching while my friend babbled about how this video would instruct us on how to properly start a cult wonderful time all around
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
trippin on acid and watchin a bunch of babies become stumbling old men who dive into a metaball and get amigara fault'd would probably be traumatizing
that other video is pretty psychedelic too drip drip
Anno
>>1012229 noooo don't join a cult ur so sexy haha >>1012225 this is also my first time seeing it wtf
how do i learn about like modern music progressions my training is all classical
bang
huh what do you mean especially by the word progressions like you wanna learn chrod progressions or like how music has progressed
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
idk i just want to learn about like all the different sounds and tones that modern music employs common drum loops and micro tunings and well know effects and samples and all that my head is just full of like "d major A# minor wee woo dominant chord"
bang
part of the reason i like electronic music so much is all that experiment with timbre and "sonic texture" and shit it's part of why i end up gravitating to trap and dubstep so much - because those genres tend to have way more willingess to experiment with new sounds but yeah i don't know how i could help you that shit is some arcane science developed by laptop-wielding british ninjas or something >>1012243 oh i'd just call it a pretty typical dnb beat it might even be one of the more famous samples for a lot of it some dj's or producers might be able to name it for that you really just have to listen to a shitload and read stuff about it too
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
like the drum loop in >>1012235 is super popular but i can't even give it a name or anything
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
yeah i wanna spend more time building out my mental models cuz i like have a musical brain and i know what i like very well but little ability to replicate or articulate
bang
>>>/watch?v=cG7cRDcPY3k here check this one out it's one of my favorite dnb tracks of all time and it has that beat
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
it would be good to talk to some of those british music producers they do seem to be good at the doing
Anno
part of the reason I like electronic music so much is I do a big drug and dance around
>>1012262 canada is being kind of a bitch about it tho like the government i mean

wow weird what kinda government triest to keep its citizens healthy

you don't have to be in the wrong to be a bitch about something

tru bitchest be right sometimes

>>1012265 holy FUCK i didn't listen to this song for like a whole two months and i can't believe i missed it this bad god it's so good the little repeating cuttoffs at 0:35 fknsyd's performance is killer that twisted vocal sample this is the perfect 100mph on the highway music
Anno
open city at night virus does not replicate at night

sounds like a potential plot device for a cyberpunk psuedo-vampire setting

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHADIENT HOW DO YOU DO IT sry im wiggin out
bang
i have to get someone from the airport at 1pm tomorrow and then someone else at 6:30pm yeesh
it's okay the airport is only like 45 mins away so it'll only be like uhhh probably like 2.5 hours of driving total
Anno
wow ruff
Anno
we don't have the BEST public transport, but it's still just 5 bucks to take a train from the airport to downtown, or any station in between
bang
none of us live in austin proper even the long-term proposed public transit wouldn't really be able to help either of these parties out one of the parties is my friend and his wife and kid so public transit with all their luggage would probably be kinda awkward if they were to all take it at least, i would feel awkward taking a bunch of luggage on the bus but maybe it's not that bad
my car is nice and i'll just crank some bangers while i'm cruisin so it'll be fine
Anno
Luggage on the bus isn't so bad Especially if you haven't been on like a three-week trip and have a huge suitcase But like a normal sized one that's good for a week or two or you just pack light anyway It's pretty manageable
bang
a family of three on a two-week trip though i feel like that might be kinda rough

whats the bet that genshin is sending my personal data to the chinse government
>privacy policy updated >terms of use updated >click yes to agree
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>embrace the botnet to make transferring like a thousand tabs to chrome on my new phone >it doesnt work
>>1012348 isn't genshin under a different company now, technically the same people are working on it, none of the staff changed but they transferred the game to one of mihoyo's related companies or subsidiaries or something because chinese gaming laws are starting to get really restrictive Yostar or something like that wait not yostar that's a differnt company Cognosphere will be the publisher outside of china now i would imagine the privacy policy update has to do with that
if your problem is that you have too many tabs opened that you haven't go to then there isn't really any reason at all to feel sorry for this entirely avoidable and unecessary situation you have expressly created (and devised even) for yourself
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1012354 it isnt a problem theyre organized in tab groups
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
the problem is that my new phone refuses to update chrome which is probably why it wont sync tabs
I think the * that's probably a good switch up then.

it loaded on my phone after a lil bit dark forces at work here

on second thought, I will simply go to bed instead of staying up it sucks to miss the event, but I'm so tired I dunno if I'd really enjoy it much either way
Shoulda slept in a lot more today

probably a good idea, there's always next time have a nice rest

yeah besides, friday's the one I'm really excited for either way
i worked alllll day and now i'm home i havent been eating much lately bc of my finances and lack of transportation but today my colleague gave me a whole box of protein bars and an orange so i'm doing fantastic
Anno
were you paid monthly or was I mistaken
Kirara 🍄 大医 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Yeah, I get paid monthly. But all of the money I'd usually use for food is going towards my Ubers because I still don't have a car. And Uber is ridiculously expensive.
her new outfit is kinda cute tho i still prefer the old one rosaria got absolutely ravaged tho damn the jean and amber changes are so slight i have to wonder why even
bang
>>1012362 yeah i'm glad they're doing it i was worried they'd try to just make the global version china-friendly but they're self-aware enough to know that the community at large would be pretty pissed about it
