The build up towards Christmas is always a big, complex ball of emotions and thoughts on things for me.
There's the falling away of stress over semester toils, a general Christmas cheer that usually infects me, but there's also a general melancholy as I look back at another year older and how little has changed, or looking at how things are "supposed" to be going for people my age. Mixed in with cravings to want to see people instead of just connecting with them digitally, and just a general overall yearning that doesn't have any particular direction but envelops most aspects of my life. Overall I enjoy the holiday season, but Christmas day itself is usually pretty depressing.
I want to do something I'm not doing, I want to be somewhere I'm not currently at (physically and elsewise), but I don't have a particular target for any of it, so it's impossible to properly satiate that desire. It's a desire that eats at me throughout the year but it always flares up the most intensely around Christmas.

It's search stuff has gotten progressively worse for people who know what they are looking for.

I feel like I'm becoming distant with some of my closest friends because it's harder to see them now My room is getting messy faster and faster than my previous habitual cleaning because I now spend 100+ hours in my room every week, as opposed to the 60 or 70 I spent before, around 50 of which are spent spent sleeping Effectively doubling the amount of time I spend in my room And the willpower to clean it is so much harder to find when I can barely find willpower to stand up or breathe Depression is beginning to take physical effect on my health as well, because I do less activities and spend less time outside my room - I'm gaining weight when I'm already too big and my muscles feel sore all the time from lack of activity I don't really have a good reason to take care of myself because I rarely interact with anyone outside of work anymore I can see my life slowly draining in front of me. All the time I spent building up and up and now it's just put on hold and left to atrophy And the worst part is that it's not even close to over, I'm going to have to deal with this over the course of months, probably 2 to 4 of them I'm just not really seeing a bright future or bright path anymore I'm not really seeing the reason to continue like I did before Only short-term goals keep me moving from one day to the next "maybe i'll get to see this friend this week" "i'll get to play video games when i get home from work" "if i don't eat anything but ramen and eggs and peanut butter for the next three weeks, maybe i'll be able to go to that new years event" there's no more ambition no more hope just want

So it's the court system that's keeping your license suspended?

At this point the only way for me to legally get back on the road is with an occupational license (which is intended for use only to/from work or to/from reasonable errands and civic responsibilities) I will then be required to keep a log of my trips and their purpose as well as pay a nominal (see: fuckhuge) fee to the court in order to maintain this license, which may act in lieu of a Texas Driver's License during the time in which it is ineligible (suspended) (in my case until October 2018)

>Fourierism is the systematic set of economic, political, and social beliefs first espoused by French intellectual Charles Fourier (1772–1837). Based upon a belief in the inevitability of communal associations of people who worked and lived together as part of the human future, Fourier's committed supporters referred to his doctrines as Associationism. Political contemporaries and subsequent scholarship has identified Fourier's set of ideas as a form of utopian socialism – a phrase which retains mild pejorative overtones.

Isn't there a more appropriate place to be talking this out than here.
we were talking about the way other countries talk about mental illness the other day in class, and someone was pronouncing "togo shitcho sho" (which is the japanese term for schizophrenia" as "toko shit show" or maybe tokyo shit show it was really weird
ToN
nice oi aoi
Anno
It's always weird to hear people trying to say Japanese phrases. Like even people who should have been immersed in the natural pronunciation for a lot of it will default to some version corrupted by their vocal background.
What interests me a lot is which syllables people emphasize.
Like there was a name, it was like Yukiko Fujiwara or something like that, but people pronounce the name like you-KEY-ko, like, really emphasizing that ki Or you'll get stuff like foo-gee-WAA-ra
Anno
I think there's also a bit of a small partitioning of words with more than three syllables. So you'll have someone kind of say "fuji/wara" as if they're two seperate words. But I think a lot of Euro-centric naming conventions have a sort of before/after emphasis. Alex-ANder, Chris-TOpher, stuff like that.
Yeah, that makes sense. I've noticed that people frequently pronounce Matsumoto (a prolific cross-cultural psych researcher)'s name like matsu modo. I guess people really are used to it. Western names are kind of easily broken up into nicknames, too, whereas Japanese nicknames are generally adding or modifying syllables/vowels in the name, rather that cutting off part of the name completely.
>>362827 When you say Alexander, there's a sort of emphasis on the an maybe due to the n or something, but the "an" sort of separates the name into two pieces, so people tend to emphasize it a little, I think. Those midparts of the names just sort of stand out a little, I think. There's a sort of rise in the name, if that makes sense.
Anno
>>362825 don't you pronounce those two names in one go? I can't think of people using an emphasis like you put there
Anno
It's not always particularly emphatic, but it's there when you compare it up against eastern-Asian words.
Anno
if I pronounce christopher in the dutch way I can definitely her an emphasis on the TO, but in english I feel like you just say it one go with alexander I don't really hear it to be honest, the xan bit sounds like it goes pretty fluently. If anything I think the emphasis would be on the -xan- bit instead of -an-
Anno
I guess with Alexander it's not quite an emphasis but a slide. The x sort of transitions the first half into the second. But I don't fucking know linguistics I'm just saying what I think I hear.
Japanese in particular breaks words down a bit more minutely because of how syllables work in their language, and syllable emphasis is more emotional than pronunciation. And then you get other east-Asia cultures like Vietnamese where EVERY word is a single syllable.
Speaking those languages with a tongue accustomed to European languages really makes it apparent where these weird emphasis and syllable groupings exist in European languages.
Kirara 🕎
it's a pretty clear point that separates the name into two segments

hm, not quite even but close >>362875 yeah I converted half of a BTC into LTC around June when I was going to that conference. BTC has risen by 8.5x since then LTC by 5x That said, I have like 24.6 LTC so if it gets even to a tenth of what BTC is right now, that's good money.
Anno
damn you're making a good profit are you slowly selling right now or holding on to it?
I'm at an impasse. Ive realized that selling right now would actually be good for me because it's not enough to have to pay Capital Gains tax. My income this year is too low (below 37k) even if I add in all the gains I make from selling BTC But next year, that won't be true. I'll be in an even higher bracket. So any kind of crypto sale would be taxable events. I'm weighing my options. I could settle all of my student debt over time with the entirety of my BTC or let it raise even more to the point where it's even more money but using it becomes a complicated matter. It's not even so much that I dont want to pay taxes but I don't want to CALCULATE taxes. This is really hard. It took me hours just understanding how it all worked out only to realize that I almost completely ruined everything.
>>362878 ah yeah that sounds very difficult there's the option of slightly evading some taxes by selling some coin locally for cash it's an option but of course not very legal
Anno
>>362878 just get it and don't pay your taxes til later file and pay the next year
Tax evasion isn't easy if I'm doing it through an exchange. So i'd have to remove it from an exchange first. But it's not that I want to evade taxes, I want to evade fucking up my taxes. If I want things to be simple, I should pull out now. Not to mention that the current price (17k) is actually on the brink of me possibly having to pay cap gains When I sold at around 14k and then bought back nearly immediately, it was still fine. But if we get to 20k, my hands become tied.
Anno
do they withhold? i mean i'm a year behind on my taxes at the moment as long as you file, the rest is just a .5% penalty though i think that has changed now
To be honest, there are still things I'm not sure of. Like, okay, I don't pay cap gains, but do I have to pay anything else? Because that 14k price sale is a income earning event. Whether I buy back or not.
Anno
rebuying should be a deductible investment i dont know if that was your question
Is it that a thing? Like, I've been reading about stuff and they talk about what counts as a loss and specifics of things like "wash sales". A "wash sale" is when you incurred a loss on a stock but you bought back in within 30 days. And wash sales aren't deductible losses. However, there's no such thing as a "wash gain". So when I sold my bitcoin, that counts for taxes, but buying back in within 10 minutes doesn't negate that. Only happens in the case of a loss. So I don't know if it's deductible, or rather, I'm sure the wash sale rule is to make sure that it isn't. Had I put that money into something else, maybe.
Anno
i don't know the investment sides of things really but i would imagine so
Maybe I can throw a tithe at my church or a donation somewhere and make this less complicated. But I wouldn't know the value of what to give in because this First In, First Out stuff is incredibly difficult to manage when bitcoin is concerned. This would be a lot easier had I not tried to be Koi, the Power Trader, in the beginning of the year.

That's what I said, lol If I wanted to evade, I'd have to have the coins on my own wallet and only do transactions through wallets. Exchanges are legally bound to require personal identification so they can report things happening on the account to the IRS.

you said you had to get it from an exchange, I didn't know that meant they report to the tax man :o

Anno
heh they don't want BTC to drop too quickly eh is botcoin's worth now centrally tracked or still unique per exchange?
Grandfather, look at me, I have multiplied your Verizon investment by 12. I will glow my own way. Thank you.
>>362899 unique per exchange,of course. When Kirara and I were going on about the price raising, Coinbase was the most inflated. Because Coinbase is the fastest and easiest place to withdraw money. You can have it connect to your bank account and wait 3-5 days OR You can send it to your PayPal account. And get money immediately.
Well, it was only $1800 back then ~$800 per coin. And that was at a good time too, the week after the price trended downward and it slowly lost half its value.
Paypal locks MT out. MT owner sets up Coinbase account. I send them money. Paypal buys Coinbase.

do anything is a really romanticized thought. Like, even the concept of anonymity was less than understood. It's only anonymous because there's so much data to sift through and your name isn't attached to it, but with enough tech and a good enough database, you can find that shit. That's why people stare at the blockchain any time a big cryptoransom happens. So we can see where the money moves. But things back then were limited. You could do stuff as long as people actually cared about it

Well yeah but you have to play the part. The name has to be terrible. You could try Matty from Natty, but that kinda means you'll have to tell people you're from a.
I think I'm impressive enough without pretending to be a rapper! I'm going over some of my research with her now. She's following it all a lot better than I expected her to.
remember when I wrote on a job application that I had experience doing sales and when they asked about it on an interview, I said I sold candy on the trains? Good fucking times
I have no idea what in the world a normal person is to you humans anymore. >>363015 get this fucking Snicker bar bitch 75 cents >>363016 Everyone likes Welch's fruit snacks. It's not that difficult
Didn't even hear about it. All I heard was about the pipebomb or whatever in NYC today which I forgot until my mom asked about it

Also them being a nutjob from that corner of the internet hasn't made it to the press yet.

>>363027 I was about to make a comment about them being stupid for killing mexicans in mexico and not mexicans in the US, but then I learned New Mexico was actually a state and not even part of Mexico
>>363028 Two attacks on the same day, it's getting crazy
well, as far as I know, the NYC bomb didn't do much? Or maybe I haven't heard the worst of it... >three hurt, one in custody It sucks that people are hurt but <<<NO CASUALTIES>>> The City of The World remains undefeated.

Uggggh Ed's legal fund hasn't raised enough money. *ED's I might mail them some cash. Since PayPal blacklisted the crowfunded legal fees website.
oh it's five Five treated for minor injuries. The guy who set it off though has lacerations and burns all over his chest and survived lol ya dun goofed
>>363041 Well, I'm a bit of a clutterbug. I have an aversion to spoilable trash, anything that rots or gets funky is something I get rid of fast. So I've never had garbage bags laying around like that.
The problem with papers is that as soon as you get rid of them, you find that you need them like a week later.
>>363049 I just force myself to stay awake. It's not very hard. If you want to play with fire, try laying down and catching microsleeps for 15 minutes or so.

I'd really rrather have Shantae. Or Viewtiful Joe. Especially Viewtiful Joe.
I need to do laundry pretty badly. I really should have done it before a guest came but I was thinking that I'd do it tomorrow and then iron my shirts because I'll wear some ironed stuff on Wednesday but I didn't think about how I'd have a guest.
>>363086 Like 10 or so within a month. But I'll need to replace the one i put on my phone case eventually. And I'm a bit of a sticker fiend. Although i rarely pay ffor sstickers.
I did that yeyesterday Although I had to remove the dryer vent and clean it out first. Err, ventilation duct. Which didn't complete repair it, but the dryer repair guy is coming sometime later this week.
There was a really bad accident at an intersection I use to get home. It took out like five cars. It happened in the turn lane I use, and happend around the time I go through that intersection. I was working late though so it happened before I left work. Stuff like that is scary!
Well in some strange stroke of perfect efficiency I've caught all my connecting public transport immediately. Should be home in ten to fifteen minutes if you want to watch two shows or something.
>>363179 Mate, I have reason to believe that you're running an ILLEGAL UNDERGROUND BOARD where people meet in secret to plot out how their going to avoid paying their taxes and other crimes against the government. As the host/administrator you're liable
>>363198 1. federal funded disaster relief is a fucking scam and a complete joke 2. the roads never get repaired anyway as is 3. the vast majority of tax money is not used for programs that help americans
>>363200 Well specifically I meant federal highways And the roads where you live don't get fixed because Florida's government is just fucking terrible in general.
Marsh-chan
>>363200 heh. enjoy your broken social institutions
>>363202 the federal highways are sucking tax dollars that could be used for better things like health care they are constantly renovating and expanding in areas that don't need any work done and disrupting traffic for literal years for no reason the projects to renovate the roads are horrible managed and wastes of money
everything the government does is basically bad
Maria
More like the millitary is sucking tax dollars that could be used for better things like fixing the roads
FormerRei@mobile
>>363205 They also repair roads that actually get used in addition to those terrible wastes of money
>everything the government does is basically bad What about NASA? Or federally funded medical research Or federally funded technology research
Kirara 🕎
>>363206 the roads don't even need to be repaired like 7/10 times they get repaired
>>363208 what about nasa oh yeah i love that federally funded medical research that fills the pockets of the rich and leaves the poor to die in the streets even though it was funded with the money from the poor
>There was an actual American Supreme Court Judge called Justice Burger

It's a German name. The name has been around longer than the hamburger has.

I went to see the new Murder on the Orient Express tonight. I think for people that don't have an inundation into Poirot -- most importantly don't have a conceptualization of him to this point, it's a really good introduction into the character and the kind of mystery that Christie wrote. For the most part the movie is honest to the book, changing a bit, mostly with a short bit before the actual train ride to introduce Poirot as a character, and "spicing" up some of the scenes with dramatic suspense that wasn't there previously. Ultimately it still respects the overarcing theme of the novel, and sets up the heart of the plot in a way that appeals well to the emotions. I really enjoyed the movie.

>>363255 do you think that should detract from my enjoyment? it doesn't.
