Anno
It was on sale on Amazon back when I had that bank job that paid nicely. Right about the same time my headset was going bust.
Anno
Pretty long. I trimmed ten centimetres off back about when summer was really kicking in but it's still long enough to reach my shoulders. Well when untied at least. When I put my hair back it's more of a poofball than an actual ponytail because my hair doesn't fall straight.

But if I put pens in that there's no way I'll know what I'm fishing out until I've pulled it out of the vase. That doesn't seem very efficient to me.
So I just keep it around because you're right, it is purdy.
月
what kinda pen you got there do you have a nice fountain pen
Anno
Lots. I buy in bulk because economics.
>>211026 I've got a cheapish but decent fountain pen. It doesn't really work well with the paper in this notebook I'm using right now though, so I'm writing with a fine-point Sharpie pen. It actually flows really smoothly and the ink doesn't bleed through the paper so it's nice for writing.
I've also got some Uni-ball super fine-point pens that are great for writing on smaller margins than a standard notebook. And some Staedtler rollerballs that are a bit bolder and have thicker ink but are nice too.
>>211028 I would appreciate gifts like that, honestly. I've looked at fountain pens before but they're kind of pricey even if they're nice to write with. The one I got is functional but definitely kind of cheap.
>>211033 I've used erasable ink pens before and I can't say I like them. If I was really so bothered by errors and mess I'd write in pencil. And I do for stuff that often involves retreading work regularly. But writing is nicer with pens because once you work up a rhythm the speed gets really fast.

So much of my early writing draft is filled with etched-out words and some times entire lines. Heck I've scribbled across entire paragraphs when I've realized how dumb the content begins to sound.
>>211045 I tend to use a lot of the space in my writing notebooks. I stand by that having huge sections that are scribbled over or crossed out is an important part of the creation process. Being able to see the parts where you ended up dissatisfied or writing objectively poor writing is useful in affirming what makes actually good writing.
It's like how printing out a physical copy of a draft and editing over the paper in red pen is far more productive than just reading over the digital version on the screen.

i can't tell, is that the sennheiser logo? those look fuckin lit man you have a fucking rig there and i'm very envious sennheiser is my shit they're the only brand i'd spend serious dollars on
Anno
Yeah they're Senns. HD 598.
>>211055 I got these for sale too. The mic and the headphones were picked up for the same reason, my previously failing headset. The headphones are super comfy and have great sound quality, but I goofed up and got the version that only comes with the absurdly long cable wire. I had to loop it up a few times and twist-tie it so that it doesn't trail all over the floor.
On the other hand if I'd gotten the model that does comes with a shorter cable I wouldn't have been able to get the nice colours these ones have, since the other model was the black ones.

>>211056 i have a $300 pair of wireless sennheisers but the fu-- oh no they're not sennheisers no wonder they fuckin broke they were... astro? a50s it was good but they were so fucked up
Anno
I've stuck with Sennheiser headphones since high school. The semi-cheap models aren't really durable, especially back then when the cable was permanently connected to the headphones. I burned through something like three sets because I was pretty active and kept fucking up the part where the cable joins the headphones.
More modern models have detachable cables, which is nice since modular parts are easier to replace than entire sets.
月
headphones are something i'll happily spend three figures on but i expect them to last a long time if so
Anno
I'm a bit picky with my headphones though, I don't really like that smooth plastic, almost fake-leather texture a lot of high quality headphones come with. I like the soft fuzzy coverings. It's hard to find higher-quality headphones that use it, so I was excited to see these Senns with it.
月
yeah same especially with my job, i'll use the headphones for 12 hours straight and then use them for relaxation afterwards shit that gets too hot or makes your ears hurt over time or that "droop", if you know what i mean i can't do it i can work with them for a day in a pinch but i need the real deal if i actually want to be productive
Anno
I feel they're a little more firm than the fuzzy covers, which might be a plus to people. But it pinches the tips of my ears and constantly pushes against the side of my head. After long-term usage it starts to get really uncomfortable for me.
月
yeah it does, and it sucks and the worst issue i have is shorter/badly designed cords i hate the cords that are extra firm and you're already trying to use other cords and they yank or just get in the way of your arms while you're typing sennheiser has some nice soft cords that kind of fall like string or yarn would and not just be awkward as fuck all day long
Like I said the model I've got has a jack on the side of the headphones you can just plug the cable right into. So if it's too short or too long for you it's easy to get a different size that accommodates you better. Next time I've got a bit of disposable income I plan on getting the smaller cord too, so I can stop having all this extra cable laying about.
>>211068 Not natively, but I guess Sennheiser might have a dongle you can plug in to set it up.

Airports may be open 24/7 but they don't receive/fly out planes for that full period. If there's a sufficient lack of traffic then there's no sense to get a driver for the train.

>>211090 Yeah. It uses magneticism to stimulate regions of the brain. It's a relatively newer procedure but there's a pretty big body of literature on it already and it's accepted to have the same efficacy as other treatments (works about 70% of the time)
I've been on an antipsychotic before. I was on Seroquil for anxiety when I was in middle school.
FormerRei@mobile
>>211092 I'll look into it. It sounds familiar, I might have read something about someone building their own rig for it in a diy newsblog or something.
>>211092 can i ask your psychological advice and input
so, i really need to start seeing someone again and getting my meds i played my hand at trying to function without, and it was a noble journey but i'm not ready for it yet do you think i should go see my old psychiatrist (assuming she accepts my appointment request) or see a new doctor who might have keener insight like i wonder if my old psych was kind of stuck in the past she was like 60 years old and the kind of condition i have was viewed very differently back then than now i know doctors have to work hard to stay ontop of advancements and things but 30 years in practice actually goes pretty quick and when you've done something the same way for like 98% of your patient population, you don't just up and stop because you get another patient in who has some opinion that they're somehow different than the rest of the patient population when they seem exactly the same to you
you know what i mean but she cared a lot too so i dunno whether to go for consistency or a second opinion
I think it depends a little on your needs, but I feel like going to the old one first is probably better. She knows you so she'll be more willing to prescribe for you so that you can, at the absolute least, get yourself where you need to be
But you should try to talk to her about potential alternatives to what you've been doing as well And if she says there's nothing else to try, maybe get a second opinion at that point
I feel like familiarity between a person and a psychiatrist is hard to build so I'm reluctant to suggest trying a new one outright usually
>>211098 Since benzos are schedule iv drugs, if you don't go to your appointments, the psychiatrist is required by federal law to stop the prescriptions So she may have done it without wanting to

and that all fuckin shows up i hate EMR so much it's such a heaping pile of shit on both ends the doctors hate it just as much as me but they have legal compliance issues on their end fuck thieving parroting puppet scoundrel lowly scum of the eart rotten worst deadly gangster court judge legal bastardization fetishist pieces of shit

I love murder mystery TV series like Murder She Wrote, Diagnosis Murder, Poirot, Miss marple. etc
Anno
>>211162 The biggest difference between mysteries like what Christie wrote and Sherlock was that in Sherlock, it felt more like we were just along for the ride as Sherlock gallantly charged headfirst into the mystery. The focus of his stories was the thrill and suspense. Where as Christie wrote her mysteries more like a puzzle with a definite chance for reader to match the pace of the detective. Though most of them also definitely keep up engaging writing all the same. I prefer the latter by far.
>>211167 you can afterall deduce the culprit in almost evert'y story
Anno
And even if you didn't, you can trace back through the book and see where all the hints and subtle tells were. Where as Sherlock, as he's rather infamous for, could uncover some crucial detail revealing the culprit by a type of mud under a person's boot. But the reader wouldn't realize this until Sherlock has already confronted the murderer.

I actually didn't mind Gosick and Dantalian no Shoka
Anno
I liked GOSICK's stories. They had a nice feel to a lot of them, even if there wasn't really any mystery-solving to be done. The ending of the series was kind of messy in my opinion though. I understand what happened but it was kind of this huge rush of events all at once and it was hard to process them all.
Apparently there's a new series of GOSICK novels with their descendant in New York. I wonder if that'll ever get traction.
I watched them // Gosick and Dantalian when their aired. they aired pretty close, like one season after another.

I couldn't finish Gosick cause the mc was too much of a beta ...

>>211190 oh they are both good, but just don~t really carry the kind of "viewer"' can participate" that i demand from my mysteries

>>211192 I really like the Dantalian OP too, but the full version is really funny to me. In the middle of it Daisuke Ono launches into a monologue in his character's role. Like just give me an extended version of the song, Ono's got a nice voice but it's not what I want from the track.
All of GOSICK's OPs and EDs were pretty nice in my book. I think that series was also one of -was about the time that LiSA's anisong career was really kicking off. At the least it's the first series I remember her doing songs for.

>>>/watch?v=r-McmgQbee0 Kurosawa has some really good advice on the creative process. He was directing it more specifically toward aspiring filmmakers but a lot the advice is applicable to all creators. Especially where he complains about youth these days not being particularly well-read. He talks about how none of them (probably specifically Japanese here) have ever read Russian literature, no Russian literary classics. You need material in your head to be able to create, and the only way you get that material is by having life experiences, or being well-read.
And I mean after all, I sure ain't familiar with Russian literature either. I don't think many people in my generation, outside of Russia and probably eastern Europe, are familiar with Russian literature.
Granted there's probably already a vast number of Russians that aren't familiar with Russian literature, but that's part of the problem in itself too.

Hm, I'm thinking more like, trying to observe an astronomical phenomenon. But you can't draw conclusions on what's actually happening, because you are too far away from the phenomenon and your instruments can't relay sufficient information to form an understanding.
>These Biocosmist-Immortalists, as they were known, believed that socialist scientists, freed from the constraints of the capitalist profit motive, would discover how to abolish death and bring back their comrades. Lenin’s corpse remains preserved for the occasion.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
like you have a correlation but you can't show causation?
ABOLISH CLASSES ALL CLASSES INCLUDING THE OPPRESSION OF THE DEAD BY THE LIVING
You've heard of socialism You've heard of communism You've even heard of FULL COMMUNISM
But this This is MAXIMUM COMMUNISM

>They also help maintain the preserved bodies of three other national leaders: the Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh and the North Korean father–son duo of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, respectively. what's lenin gonna do when he wakes up and sees people calling the kims commies
He'll be upset about their methods but ultimately happy about their anti-imperialism
Anno
Another way I'd put it is being too far removed from the subject matter. But I feel there is another way of phrasing or wording it and it's bugging me.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
like all you can do is make inferences
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
idk of a good word for what you mean
Anno
Well if it's too obscure a phrase that's probably a bad choice anyway.
My Fitbit says only 3500 steps, 53 minutes of active time, and 10 floors of stairs. 2.41km walked over the course of the day.
This is just me in my own home. It's just hard for me to understand what someone's lifestyle has to be like to need to reduce calories.
>>211283 I walk around and go up and down the stairs frequently. I pace around and talk. If I'm in my study and I need something, I have to walk downstairs and around the house to get it, too.
Maria
>>211282 how did you walk 2.41 km in your own home
You Rock and Roll You are a lot more active than me to be honest. I'm sitting down a whole lot and haven't had exercise in ages so my metabolism very suggish *sluggish
Kirara I want you to understand something I drive to work I then sit in a chair for about 8.5 hours not including walking the maybe 50 feet to the break room where I proceed to sit. I then come home And sit in a fucking chair If you amnage to walk 2 kilometers IN YOUR OWN HOME you are NOT inactive. I envy your metabolism
Well, I didn't know I was walking that much in my own home. You guys probably walk a lot in your home but don't have a tracker telling you how much you do.
>>211291 10 floors over the course of the day, not all at once.
I need to do exercise like something I can do at home. that won't be too difficult for someone so out of touch with exercise, I am super inflexible. and probably can barely do a push up
Anno
One thing you can maybe do is find a cardboard box and fill it with things of weight. Just fill it with as much as you can lift, and then lift that up and down. It's like having lifting weights, only super ghetto and using stuff you already have.
Also there's half-pushups you can do, using your knees to pivot on instead of your toes like a full push-up. They're far easier to pull off than normal ones, and you can use them to build core muscles so you can transition into proper ones.
Each one tick is like going up or down So I went upstairs before 6, came down after 6, went back up around 8, went back down at 8, etc I think it's missing one or two times I used the stairs
TN
>>211292 depends on size of house i can say that walking past even 500m when just crsscrossing between bathroom kitxhen and occasionally pacing in a small onefloor apartment is quite a feat
かんなぎ☆
My flat is super small. and I'm not a very big mover, I sit down. I do wiggle my feet a bit
I think you are just very healthy. I'm terrible. I slouch, miss breakfast, go with out a lot of sleep. barely exercise
Anno
I tend to fidget a lot even when I'm sitting down. Like my feet are perpetually tapping or drumming. Or swinging in the air if I'm sitting in a way that makes them stop touching the ground.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>211306 huh about 2000 steps is a mile and 2.4km is 1.4 miles
tell me how did you check and measure if it is accurate
かんなぎ☆
I'm going to use my weedly arms to lifts some weights a 100 times.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>211312 because my phone measures steps seperately with a different program and lists 2275 steps for today, but i don't carry my phone around all the time when i walk the days before my fitbit in my phone are between 1800 steps and 2400 steps considering that i don't always carry my phone around while walking, i'd say it's safe to assume that the fitbit has accurately recorded my steps, more or less
TN
but i always do wonder when they start recording steps, say how does it measure it while eslking hands in pocket
i once got 200 steps while driving apparently i got pissed off emough for the watch to think i was active
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>211315 uses a combo of movement and GPS if it's connected to your phone
TN
hoovering btw fucks it up
TN
well your thing might be more accurate since it is designed pnly for fittrack
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
it might confuse movement like hoovering for walking but the movement in hoovering is more or less as energy consuming as walking, probably a little more, so it's probably fine
かんなぎ☆
It doesn't take much to do >>211309 1.4 miles I've had devices say similar to what Kirara is saying
TN
>>211319 yeah hooverimg a house does still make you take quite many steps
TN
but atleast on my eatch, if it says 10k steps, i doubt i have walked much more than 5km
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
apparently this fitbit underestimates distances fairly often too hmm
i can't imagine i did more than 3500 steps so far today though
I remember the Pokemon Go app was really wonky some times with distance measuring if you kept to retreading fairly small areas. It might just be a common problem with devices that use cross-referencing between a pedometer and GPS to measure distance moved.
My heart beat is super low. my doctor used to joke that was dead
かんなぎ☆
*that I was
かんなぎ☆
That is some calorie loss considering you didn't do any exercise? I need to make my days more active but it kind of hard when I work in the middle of nowhere and I get delivered from my door to work and from work to my door and then sit in my room for the rest of the time
>>211330 I guess it depends on what you consider exercise but I didn't like, engage in any explicit exercise activities.
Also, I burn more calories doing normal things due to my tachycardia because my heart has to /// heart works harder. You'll notice that it says exercise zones 3hr 41minutes. That means my cardiovascular system was working as if I were exercising for 3hrs and 41 minutes today even while I wasn't really doing anything. When I'm in that "exercise zone", I also burn calories more quickly.
TN
i don't really count fittracks a good way to measure how much you exervise, but rather a good way to remind yourself to move a lil by showing how little ypu have on that day
>>211330 The average adult male needs ~1800 calories a day to have the energy needed to get through a normal day. Not that averages like that should be taken as scripture since each person has a unique body and a unique set of activities they do to get through the day, but you have to remember the body is perpetually burning calories just to do basic functions like organ processes and thinking. Burning calories is also how your body maintains its temperature.
>>211336 It calculates it using data I input for my bodytype, metabolism, etc compared with aggregate data from everyone's exercise and stuff It uses those together to come up with an estimation of how many calories I'm burning when I'm doing things
According to my fitbit, at least That's how it says it does it
Fitbit is fairly pricey, Would be neato to have though
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
This one is a Fitbit Charge 2 I don't really know about pricings I got it as a gift yesterday
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
Apparently I can get a medical plate for it too Which is good because if I got hurt and went to the hospital, my vitals won't come back normal due to my heart conditions I'm weird on EKGs under normal circumstances
かんなぎ☆
I have a bike that can measure my pulse while I'm using it. It is pretty good
Medication that lowers my heartrate, actually. Although it's starting to wear off around now.
My heartrate fluctuates wildly through the day due to my heart conditions. My heart medication lowers it considerably, though.
Anno
>>211344 My pulse was like 86bpm when I measured it last night. Though my pulse is also really weak unless I'm worked up a bit and it gets really hard to actually feel properly.
The Fitibit also has a fair bit of field testing by now too. Sure, the device and its software will likely be best applied to people who fall more in-line with normal human bodies, but there's enough people with abnormal conditions out there that it ought to be able to take some weirdness into account and still produce reliable data.

What exercise can you do at your desk without looking like you are slacking off at work?
holy shit i googled excercise ball workout desk to see how much exercise it is and google offered me a video and "suggested clip: 19 seconds: and it highlighted part of the video so i don't have to watch the entire video
>>211384 You might be mistaking me for someone else. I only have three images of her, and one I posted as a spoiler, and the other, I posted for a joke.
Maybe I am just imagining things then. Sometimes I can see the inner workings of the universe so sometimes I make connections that other people can't see.
>>211390 Wow, you don't like her? I Think she's a cute little robot chipmunk. I'd kidnap her and take her home. I think she's my second favorite, hime is my first.
>>211392 She might grow on me, but she hasn't really impressed me, yet. Although I guess it'd be more accurate to say she's my second least favorite. Ange is my least favorite.
>>211395 I want to do some games but my computer likes to // graphics card likes to crash spontaneously and I don't know what will or won't trigger it sometimes. And then there's several 3ds things I either want to redo but that would not clear my backlog, or I've lost interest in for the time being. And then there's being productive in grind games I guess but that doesn't really do anything. So I just end up sitting here debating what I want to do until I run out of time.
Note that this note is written by Ange but signed 'yours truly, Charlotte'
かんなぎ☆
>>211397 Try find games that don't need high graphics I decided to replay Yume Nikki a few days ago. I get bored a fair bit. So I try to find things but often enough I just sit trying to figure out what it is I want to do
>>211402 Yeah, but the premise of the show is that everything is a lie, so it's pointless to actually consider it. It wouldn't be very in-character for her to just expose it like that so easily.
>>211403 Skyrim runs fine on my laptop yet it manages to do it on this big boy now. I have to wonder if it's something else that triggers it, but sometimes the graphics card will just keel over even when I'm not games. Very very rarely, usually after resetting as a result of it crashing from something else.
Anno
>>211405 Perhaps, but at the end of that episode, the Princess welcomes her back, rather heartfelt too, as Charlotte. It's possible there's been a swap going on longer than the series more obviously lets on.
>>211407 Sure, but that would just be a matter of a name. It's obvious that the two are sisters, and quite possibly twins, meaning they'd both be royalty. Since they were separated at such a young age, I doubt there's a lot of significance in it.
I think the show is probably giving us a red herring.

That is still a fairly uncomfy dream. I don't usual remember my dreams. I've had some dreams where I have really realistic events but they are usually like doing what I usually do but something unusual or dramatic happens in my everyday lift
I think my dream this morning was browsing moe and everyone was telling me to quickly escape my building since it was on fire but I wanted to gather all my things. >>211433 Nighty! Sleep well! >>211434 You are a disturbed individual to think the the incarnations of evil are cute.
>>211432 A dream where everything is on fire is a disturbing dream too.
>>211434 I don't usually mind wasps but I don't like dreams where I am stung by them. I have been stung before too so my brain was able to replicate the feeling in the dream pretty well.
I read that in dream language, dreams about wasps stinging you symbolizes people having wrathful thoughts towards you. Maybe someone is hating on me out there.
There could be some out there associated with work. They tend to get mad sometimes if you don't do what they want, or don't do what they want you to do fast enough.
>Dreams of incurring the wrath of wasp can signify you need to be careful. It is likely a betrayal or tragedy will occur close to you. Becareful Rika! Sounds like you need to keep your eyes wide open to anticipate the event!

I have cut down on eating between meals. Not sure how much its helped. But I often have erratic eating habits. Cutting down on carbs might be something I could do, but I'd probably get sick of it pretty quickly. Hrrm, I might try just eating one or two meals a day. Wait, nvm I usually only have two meals a day. Looks like the easiest way will be to starve myself.

I'm mainly irritated about gaining weight because its a side effect of one of my meds. So I can't just lay * do the thing where I would eat whatever I want (within reason) and not gain weight anymore.
