I don't know how I work and I doubt anyone could ever make sense and even if I could search for help my pride would deny it
haaa
Anno
i think i get you just fine man i think you open up about plenty without actually saying anything explicitly you don't really have to it comes through kind of clear and i think a lot of us get that message we just kind of respect your space and don't egg it on since it's pretty clear you wouldn't want it explicitly addressed and that's totally fine
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
by next month I will have this all fucking cleared up byt I guess I just ended up wanting to talk about it
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I mean you lot here are the only people i can talk about this shit with honestly
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
because you don't know me and that is a positive you don't know my history some parts of my personality and so on or waht I can really do and so on
and I guess that helps

i'm not sure if histories really mean a lot i was a totally different person just three years ago

I think I tolerate you a lot of time because even when your a dick it is pretty sincere.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo

Kannagi
I meant you are n't just shitposting,
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
well the only reason i am openign like this is cause I am drunk it lets the shit I normally keep within my duality shit kept hidden I guess that is my true feelings? or just the stuff I don't want to feel or just stuff I don't want to deal with who knows I went too much nostalgia so I ended up here
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Being so much aware of oneself is fun I guess that was the pent up stress I didn't afterall apply to new universities by choice and by accident in the end

sometimes i lose my shit when i'm trying to make an effort and i feel that someone else isn't, so i decide to stop making an effort and let a whole lot out just, you know, to be fair to myself it's a problem sometimes
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also thanks for stomaching me dunno if I'd be around anymore or if I'd be much better without you lot but well you atleast enable me to be me so thanks
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>481140 I was homeless at he time sleeping at places without permanent adress the fact that someone still had it worse than me and took it out on me kinda kept an ironic humour to me
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and I ejoyed at times coaxing you on, even if you didn't realise I was doing it my fault but I found it funny
Anno
it's fine i dont blame you
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I sometimes found it bothering, but overall I found it funny so no grief given at all form my part and I hope the same
Anno
it's hard to explain, but by letting it all out like that, it keeps me from really feeling it inside i can't harbor it after i've expressed it that makes it easier for me
i'm still trying to find a more permanent, or at least stable, housing situation for myself too i'm hoping it clears up with this move i'm making in the next week-ish >>481147 yeah, i genuinely felt the frustration that i expressed, but it smooths over so quickly because i was able to do that if i didn't and just had to tuck it away, it turns into pettiness and i don't think that's too good
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>481146 you bloody apologised every other day and went out full blast rampage on me the other at times I got used to it quick and just went it with, since I realised i was the good target and like I said I found it almost always funny
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>481146 and yeah as someone who has also been homeless I hope you can find a good almost permanent atleast "permanent untill you choose to move out" housing now
>>481146 even at best of times I am just "annoying" so I was at my worst of times back then so really I think it was just natural reaction of us both in the end
I nearly killed a good part of my familial connections back then too
Anno
well i'm no saint i get blind to that sometimes
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but how do you explain to your folks, whom you are leeching from "you won't get housing from cheap state housing, because you didn't accept 8 square appartment from the state that was offered" btw 8 squares can house approximately 30% of my possessions and I never applied for that small housing btui that is what they gave to me initially so I had options of "take that" or "take something I can't afford" and "houselessness" and I couldn't let go of all of my books and my collection of shit so "How to stay living with my parents, friends and shit for 3 months untill I can apply for shit again" became my challenge and that was 2016 november o january and then I bunked at my aniki's for 6 months which confirmed " we like each other, but we don't want to live in the same address"
Anno
i wish the state gave me anything even in my impoverished condition, i still owe the government six months' income pretty much because i'm too poor to pay taxes
Anno
yeah i had to abandon all my books too a whole wall full of them, probably 400 or so text books, medical encyclopedias, anatomy books, reference books, and a small collection of fiction i guess we're lucky that it's the digital age and it's all online, but when you have some reference books with hand-drawn illustrations of anatomy or botany, having the physical thing is really nice
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
And now I live here but I havn't gotten employed I havn't gotten state supported due to my pride and I havn't gotten properly re-educated so by now shithas hit the fan so much that I am at a bit of a loss

I'd be really sad if I lost my books. They mean a lot me.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
And I am now drinking for the first time in a long time because I just didn't want to be sober today
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
today is nothing special or tomorrow I just didn't
Anno
>>481157 try to take it easy then, enjoy your day it's nice to be drinking but it's pretty lame to be drunk
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>481159 I was but I got caught in nostalgia which led me here my memory always goes in circles I remembered about old anime I ended up here
why is it lame to be drunk? you drink you get drunk
even if you pretend you didn't but if you can't drive you are drunk and that is that
Anno
>>481156 i bet you woulda liked a lot of my medical books it's so cool just to look at all the anatomy sketches from way old days and see the progression from what we knew in 1850 to now >>481160 it's about maintaining the buzz gettin drunk ruins it imo
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Post this apart from mayday festivities I won't be drinking untill my birthday or much later but >>481161 yeah but the more I drink them ore human I am
Kannagi☎
>>481161 That sounds neat, it is a shame you lost treasured possessions.
Kannagi☎
I've never felt the pleasure of drinking. The buzz generally isn't all that pleasant for me. Suddenly pins and needles aaaah
>>481161 I mean we change trackrecors, you I think have drank more having had actual problems with this poison
me I just drink to have fun I just drink to be human and that is my thing even before I drank I knew of those shortcomings and had to act them I think
Anno
i don't particularly have a problem with it my problem is severe anxiety that sometimes causes distress and paranoia and worrying about things that are not problems is sometimes a manifestation of that
i get paranoid that i am addicted to my medications or to alcohol or anything else, but my consumption is actually pretty low on all substances and i don't have any difficulties with using them or abstaining it's just another thing to manifest my fears
actually wait steins gate will air a few hours after I wake up

>Virtues For six of the seven Virtues, each character will have a Rating. This is expressed as one of a variety of polyhedral die. So one might have a Compassion Rating of D10. A very good rating! Each character will also select one of their Virtues to be their Core Virtue. This is mostly for storytelling and roleplaying purposes as it helps you to define what it is that motivates your character. While it will not have much bearing on the rules, it will influence which Chroma are available to that character. The Virtue of Spirit is an exception and is instead represented by a pool of points that can be spent for a variety of things, including Combat Maneuvers and channeling Chroma.
FormerRei@mobile
>>481458 Oh shit yeah I love connecting things to different dice
Kirara 🚗
>Your characters also have 17 different Skills, which have Ratings just like Virtues. One key difference is that while all Virtues have at least a D6 Rating, not all Skills will. You may be untrained in a specific Skill which is another way of saying that it has no current Rating. As a reminder when expressing the Rating for a Skill or Virtue, we’ll be using a capital “D”. We’ll be using a lower case “d” when talking about the literal dice in your hand or being rolled.
>Most of the gameplay is centered on something called a Test. There are a variety of different kinds of Tests, but the most basic of them is a Skill Test. A Test is performed by rolling a handful of seven dice. In most cases, three of them will come from one of your Virtue ratings, and three dice will come from one of your Skill ratings. You’ll be looking for any die with a result of 6 or higher. This is called a success. So you’ll be achieving between zero and six successes on most rolls. But you’ll also be adding a single d4 called the “Spirit Die” to the Test. The result of this die will be evaluated differently depending on the sort of Test you are performing.

Uhhh That's starting to get a little unnecessarily complicated

>Chroma are the mysterious abilities and powers that the Skyborn are able to manipulate to amazing effect. They are not an exact science, and as a result, sometimes a Skyborn might channel too much Overlight through themselves while using the Chroma. When this happens the Skyborn or the Chroma is said to have Shattered. Each Shattering will have a lasting effect on the physical or spiritual being of the Skyborn, and after too many Shatterings the Chroma will burn itself out, searing away that particular arrangement of virtuous pathways in the character’s Spirit, leaving the character without the ability to channel that specific Chroma again.

I guess the area is more conservative than here, so
>>481507 Would you say that a religious organization setting up a stand near a school, or a different fringe political belief from yours doing exactly what you're saying is fine?

Also I'm saying put up a thing outside a shop, like any other organization tends to do, not even necessarily to target kids But it's a way to g- >>481523 Excuse me?
>>481527 most kids in the us take a bus that brings them close to their home which is only near a shop in major cities
Anno
>>481527 I'm going to preface this with the likely answer you're going to interject before I'm finished this post with. That just because everyone else does it, does not make it all right for you to do it.
Kids are highly suceptible to influence and peer pressure, and if something along the lines of some hip socialist group starts popping up around their school looking to recruit, many of them will get pulled in not through conscentious consideration of if they agree with the beliefs of the group, but because friends are doing it or its perceived to be cool. And I don't care how righteous you think you are, if you're going to say "I don't have a problem with that", you're no better than a cult.
FormerRei@mobile

Ko-Shi
Honestly, I use Armor Lyn so little that if I don't get two Hinokas, she might not survive
sk
>>481533 I mean first of all the only way to avoid that is to put an age restriction on association with your organization, which literally you would be the only non-adult-oriented organization to do And second of all, I do have a problem with that, but doing the first thing mentioned here doesn't stop anyone from actively, in a hostile and aggressive manner, recruiting kids, which is a documented and well known thing that happens, and 'being better than them' doesn't do a fucking thing
Like what's your proposal here? "Don't associate with kids, avoid them at all costs because it's better if they get recruited by literal fascist groups than even know communists exist"?
Kirara 🚗
>>481534 http://www.americanschoolbuscouncil.org/issues/environmental-benefits >Some 480,000 school buses carry 25 million children — more than half of America’s schoolchildren — each day, making the school bus industry the largest form of mass transit in the United States. Taking cars off the road, reducing carbon emissions, and making the world a better place to live are everyday results for The Yellow School Bus.
Yeah. Don't actively try to associate with kids, if they come to you, inform them and maybe, MAYBE encourage them to build an autonomous activist group in their community. And then if you have a bone to pick with these fascist groups, aim to dismantle them yourself or something. Just don't involve kids in what YOU'RE doing.
Kirara 🚗
i appreciate that kids want to get involved but as someone who works with kids and is knowledgeable about their development, it's not a good day to involve them directly they often don't have the capacity to make educated decisions about whether or not to be actively involved with a group that being involved with can limit their opportunities in life plus most communists are not good role models
if i want to go break the law, that's on me but a kid, even an 18 year old, that looks up to me or something may be influenced to participate and risk their future
they're not really old enough to be there in the same capacity as us imo
sk
Those are good points, yeah I didn't give enough thought to this, though I should have
Kirara 🚗
i think if they want an activist group they should make one and run one by themselves i don't mind collaborating with them but we should be careful not to influence them too much
children also don't have the level of moral development that people need to properly justify communism we talk about material conditions and shit but the truth is that commies want communism because they think it's the moral choice and the supposed economic benefits are secondary
kids that are heavily into communism are mostly mirroring things they've seen or haven't thought everything through and even if they've read all the theory, they don't have the worldly experience to put it in context
in today's world, it's just not beneficial for kids to get involved because they're risking their future if we just bring them in without regard for that, we're doing them an injustice and using them like tools for our own benefit
sk
I don't see those as separable points, really, but that's besides your point I think
Anno
If anything I think that illustrates the point pretty clearly.
Kirara 🚗
if we want tto support kids marching, we can wear commie shirts or pins and give them water for free but to try to influence them politically is just not right imo
Anno
There's a reason that, at least in Toronto, you can't visibly show cigarette packs for sale in corner shops. Or anywhere except specialty stores. Not that smoking and political influence are entirely equal but they're both pretty cancerous if you noamsayin.
sk
You can't have tobacco openly visible at all here either Is a good rule, really
Anno
Yeah. And that rule should be applied, or at least kept in consideration, for all things that might influence a kid into a hazardous life choice.
Kirara 🚗
even if you think communism is right you gotta admit being overtly communist is DUMB especially in the us
we gotta think of the kids im not gonna be involved in leading kids down a path they aren't ready for
sk
Yeah, I keep that shit under wraps when around people I don't know really well That alone might be a good enough reason not to involve kids

Apparently tea is on sale at the shop nearby. I want to walk out and get some since we've got like three teabags left but it's also either drizzling or risking outright rain outside. Though either way it would probably do me good to get out of the house and walk for a bit.
Kirara 🚗
three isn't enough to last a whole day
Anno
Exaaaactly. It's not uncommon to run at least two pots worth for my family, which is already four teabags. And that's ignoring what I might make up during the day when no one else is around.
Really though, has the press become significantly less free in any real sense since Trump got into office? Like, has he taken any action beyond insulting journalists and lying or dodging questions?
perceptions and levels of trust are material conditions
sk
I guess, but I dunno if 'being trusted' is a necessary part of having freedom as a news organization
Anno
It is wheen that dismantling of the trust is being done by the actual government.
sk
Yeah, that's a good point actually
I was just wondering if like, something had been suppressed since it's dropped so far The US used to be near the top, right?
Kirara 🚗
not for a while now since the government and corporations has been directing the media with what to say for a while the media purposefully ignores a lot because they've been asked tto
Kirara 🚗
someone was telling me they got an extension on a project and i was like "shit you're so lucky" "yeah my grandpa died" "o-oh"
Anno
Oh no.
Kirara 🚗
in other news
why are people like this
Anno
>Local university student breaks the speed of light with the change in emotion from envy to embarrassment
Kirara 🚗
>>481574 easy to break the speed of light after three days of amphetamines tbh
sk
It's more difficult not to at that point
FormerRei@mobile
Where the fuck is my train.
Kirara 🚗
my emotions were so fucked up the past few days even after a like 12 hour break from them my emotions are all fucked up my executive functioning is shot but my focus still works
>>481579 ??? it's amphetamines also im on Vyvanse which is lisdexamphetamine
sk
Though, adderall technically isn't amphetamines, is it? Isn't it like, very similar but not the same?
I don't even have time for video games I gotta start getting ready for work in like an hour and a half steins gate isn't out yet, I guess I'll watch it tomorrow No anime today
Kirara 🚗
i turned on my ps4 and ive just been staring at it I can't
sk
Oh wait, it is out
sk
>>481599 I know how that is Did you sleep at all yet?
Kirara 🚗
i got 5 hours last night I can't sleep rn because workers coming in and out of my house to update the valve for the water main or something im too out of it to pay attention but the managers warned me this would happen and i see them working so they're legit and whatever
sk
rip I slept like a rock after I got home, went out like a light and slept 8 hours straight
Being alive is hard
Anno
I haven't slept a night like that in so long.
Kirara 🚗
i want to sleep i might just skip my meeting tonight
I basically just ignored it . I looked back every 20 seconds or so to make sure it wasn't about to bite me. Another guy ran away from it and went across at the big intersection nearby. The eog stopped following me about 20~ feet from the intersection. It just stopped and stared.
sk
You can tell the character design is by Huke because the OP opens with this
FormerRei@mobile
Oh also that dude ran back across the street and asked me how the hell the dog didn't bite me.
>>481628 Yeah, this is what I was worried about. Treating them as humankind has done lepers in the past is not a good course of action and could likely incentivize others to try and become martyrs in a similar fashion to what happened this week.
Ko-Shi
>>481628 >have sex >unblocked by multiple people on twitter
Incel has ironically very little to do with virginity
Kirara 🚗
>>481630 it's absolutely sooooooo bad part of why they're fucked up is because social exclusion
Ko-Shi
>>481634 oh no, do I need to re-up my sex count every month Is this like another student loan?
FormerRei@mobile
Also I saw a pamphlet that says "who really controls the world? God Mankind Or someone else??? " On it I didn't open it but I assume it was about lizard people.
>>481635 Yeah, this course of action is pretty much only an affirmation of their beliefs. The last thing they need is to believe they're right for believing society is persecuting them, even if they are actually now right that society is persecuting them.
I really don't think it matters if incels are treated like shit because even if they're not, they act like and believe they are
Kirara 🚗
but they can get better they're people that need help they're sick and delusional just throwing them all into the trash confirms their delusions and makes them more dangerous and also more miserable we should be reaching out to them and trying to help them
FormerRei@mobile
>>481644 You can replace "incel" with a bunch of different words and >>481645 still applies
incels tend to be bigots but I think it's different these are kids usually they're not 40 year olds with swastika tattoos they're kids with real problems and we can help them
sk
I'm not saying they're outright fash I just don't see how to deal with the problem which is the incel demographic and their rampant abuse and bigotry, while still being compassionate and trying to help them
Kirara 🚗
get them therapy
FormerRei@mobile
>>481650 Have you tried not getting buttmad at every person who does something you dislike? Or is even associated with people you dislike? I feel like you get really mad at entire groups of people quite a bit.
Anno
>>481643 Yeah, this is the stuff about the ONS I was talking about earlier.
Kirara 🚗
the people they harass have every right to avoid them and we don't have to make excuses or say their behavior isn't a big deal we can support women by dealing with their attacker s through helping their attackers grow and stop being attackers these people aren't fundamentally broken we can't just throw them away
sk
Well I dunno how to approach that It's dumb to lump them in with fash, though
Kirara 🚗
you can't but people like me and other mental health professionals can other people just have to get them to us
Anno
Which is one of the things I appreciate about Minassian being apprehended alive. It's unfortunate that he's likely to spend most of his functioning life in -under state surveillance, but I hope the government will bring in some health professionals to talk with him and work to understand how to best address the mentality.
sk
Over twitter, though? Cause I just don't see it happening
Kirara 🚗
should i stream the Detroit demo
>>481658 encouraging them to get help may be all you can do but people blocking them on sight is bad
Anno
>>481658 The thing about Twitter is a different concern a bit. I was worried when the public first got wind of the incel mentality because of this recent incident, that social circles would lashback in fear and misunderstanding, and commit actions that would only reinforce and encourage the mentality. Which is already happening.
sk
The incel stuff will go out of fashion anyway It's a big deal now because of this thing, in a month or two it's forgotten by the general population
>>481748 Also a -Also formerly in the military. Which is being attributed to some of his skills involved with the crimes, like the knots he used and his clinical break-ins.
Anno
Hah hah you don't get an option to refuse him when he tells you to throw the gun away.
Huh? Maybe I just missed that pop-up. I saw that you can lie about having it, but I didn't see anything about keeping it when he tells you to throw it away. Could have just not seen it though.
Kirara 🚗
BAD END
Kirara 🚗
what how do i get the bad end wtf
Kirara 🚗
is there no bad end???
Anno
I'd figure pushing Daniel to jump or shoot before Conner gets right up close to him. But I don't know if that's within the constraints the game gives you.
Kirara 🚗
or does falling actually kill me? hmm
Kannagi
maybe you need to really piss him off but I thought the moving closer from before was what let you save the child. but it doesn't look like it.
Kirara 🚗
maybe i just won't get closer this time
Anno
>>481760 Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking. If you get all the way up to Daniel, the choices are either shoot him, talk it out, or let him fall. And once you're that close you'll probably always save the girl.
It's neat that they give you a different camera shot for some of the lines if you're too far back or something. Like in a previous run when Daniel said "my eyes are open now" it gave a profile of his face. This time the camera was still over Conner's head.
He doesn't just shoot the girl though. I guess that would be too violent for a video game. Even if her dropping to her death is.
Kannagi
A lot of countries have laws against showing a child being killed in video games and other media
Anno
Yeah, I'm familiar with that. I just feel that one dropping to their death, even if ambiguous, isn't really much better?
Kannagi
Not really but it isn't going to run foul of the censors apparently you can shoot children in some games and they are just immortal.
Anno
Yeah, I know.
This sort of plausible deniability to get around those censors is just kind of dumb though.
Kannagi
I think tv shows and movies just show children being killed behind a wall or something.
Kirara 🚗
god of war will be downloaded in like 20 minutes if y'all wanna watch that
Anno
Yeah, we were watching an anime episode last night that had a (presumably?) teenage girl finish drinking something out of a wine glass. And then immediately act like she was tipsy. She was also sitting at a bar in a very obviously alcohol-stocked room. So it's like, everything indicates she was drinking. But it wasn't actually shown to be alcohol. Plausible deniability is so silly sometimes.
it's as pronounced a difference as american english to aussie english, so it might matter
Anno
>>481908 Yeah, I had one. Still do, but I also had. Just haven't talked with him recently.
Kirara 🚗
he betrayed you and got you shot!
Anno
I don't think he betrayed anyone ever. Aside from I guess his parent's aspirations.
Kannagi
I knew a connor, he was a rich shit who claimed a benefit for poor children for education but always bragged about how money his father makes and all the cars he gets to ride into london.
Kirara 🚗
probably a robot too
Kannagi
I feel like a robot being able to monitor my heart stats. I can't wait to be a robot. >>481917 Climbed up a hill while being very unhealthy and dying. My heart really beats hard when I'm pushing myself. I get like explosives going off in my legs and arms. little tiny booms in my legs it feels weird.
Kirara 🚗
10 minutes till gao
Kirara 🚗
>>481915 uhh what did you do tto get to peak I have never been in peak even when having like ptsd flashbacks
I'd say that this case was one of the highest profile cold cases in recent history. In terms of California cold cases only the zodiac killer is more high profile.
