i guess time flies time flies are the worst
Anno
Even worse than horseflies?
月
horseflies are pretty bad think about the times that horseflies have bothered you there's probably some notable instances now imagine a fly that wasn't constrained by the boundaries of spacetime and could annoy you for all time indiscriminately
Anno
That's pretty fucking terrifying yeah. Though horseflies already feel pretty unconstrained. There aren't many biting flies that will stick around if you dive underwater to escape them. Horseflies are a kind that does. You can wait and wait. But that horsefly will out-wait you.

Do mosquitos feel pain as I crush them against the windowsill?
how is it the UK language pack sneaks into my settings constantly I went and turned it off and now I see it again I keep running into these times where I hit something like " and get an @ or something
Anno
I got a -fed up with the UK language pack to a point that I just outright disabled it from my PC. I don't use accented or uncommon characters enough that it's worth keeping on hand, and when I do, I can usually just google the unicode or get a copy-paste.

It's still not actually good

The show about Heaven and Hell ?
sk
The conceit is 4 people are in "The Good Place" where they don't belong, and then the plot develops and there's some twists, yeah It's uh Episode... 7 of season 2, which is episode 20 from the start And they're really not developing the characters too much at all

im almost done with my masters degree thing ~20 hours of writing so far probably another 5-7 hours of writing tomorrow and then ill be done just one more push i had to chain amphetamines today but i probably won't have to tomorrow tomorrow should be the easiest writing stuff
it's stupid because this thing has to be at a level of depth that i will never be expected to report on in any situation even forensic evals are less in depth than this
i have probably the most complicated case of my cohort that i have to work on for this and i'm also the only clinician that isn't cognitive behaviorally based in my cohort there's usually only one person in every cohort that isn't based in cognitive behavior therapy so i'm going to get a lot of scrutiny for that so i have to make sure i can back up all of my interpretations pretty much all of my professors except for two are obsessed with cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, or acceptance and commitment therapies which are all just CBT or modifications of CBT and the ones that do DBT and ACT are people that seem to dislike me
i can't do any of this work with a CBT mindset though it's boring and it's stupid and it ignores way too much i legit hate CBT shit and it's so hard for me to operate like that because of it so i'm just doing things my way
i'll have to defend my work in front of a panel of three professors and they're basically just supposed to sit there and criticize me and see how i handle it and if i can defend myself without calling them out for their bullshit i think i have a good conceptualization though sorry i'm rambling aimlessly i'm really mentally exhausted
Anno
Nah it's neat. I've never had a chance to experience a doctorate or master's program so hearing the set-up is interesting to me. Does sound like it's potentially pretty nerve-wracking though. I hope you can hold back on not jumping at their bullshit.

>>544573 I'm sympathetic. My last name's such a mess to write in cursive that by this point I do the first three letters and then just squiggle-line the rest of it. What she's done is take that act of necessity and dignified it into an artform. It's quite incredible really.
loneliness is part of the human condition we seek to fuse with others but we're limited from doing so in the end we are just us i dont think that's necessarily a bad thing though we can always be alone together
>>544597 it means wen ur sad but no one feels it but u
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
loneliness to me is an emotion or a false expectation left over from innocence it comes and goes like an old friend
月
>>544598 in my experience, the fundamental social experience is the exchange of information in a fair barter we're informatic creatures to be lonely is to have the inability to validate the values and skills developed in an external environment it starts feeling arbitrary and aimless
Oh I remember reading this when it was first circulating. It's a funny story.
Kirara 🚗
>>544607 i think that is a kind of superficial loneliness and there is a deeper more existential loneliness that we all struggle with and cannot escape
月
i think the words escape me what i'm thinking is very primal, like the premise of adaptation and integration between stragglers of primitive proto-human communities and the value of passed-down information we operate on the same principle now in a lot of ways, but the environment is drastically different and information carried isn't too particular to the individual it's too globalized, but i really think that's the crux of the social enterprise what does need externalization now takes a much more subtle and vague form than it did in a more concrete time and social verification becomes very hard because really we don't individually have very much to offer acceptance, love, comfort yeah but ultimately nothing really that unique that someone else can't fill with a little time and an adjustment period there's really not much there

sorry to override the convo there i was just tryna articulate what i though thought* it doesn't mean much
do you remember the first time you had blueberries /moe/
rene
only remember picking blackberries off the vine as a child
Anno
Don't remember the first time would have had them. I would have been really, really young back then. Though I expect I wouldn't have been terribly fond of them then either.
From that sign? About 150km. I've gone a fair bit ahead since then. I'm around Sheldon Lookout on the sign now. Thinking of starting the return home trip now.
It's a long way back.
Anno
There needs to be a concise word for the blending of feelings for when you're enjoying the feel of letting your bike carry you down a hill, and the onset dread of realising you're going to have to climb back up that hill on the return.
>>544809 Ironically this only started up shortly after I took a short break in a park to drink some water. If I'd kept going my muscles probably wouldn't have gotten this way. But it had been like two hours of almost non-stop biking and I was pretty thirsty.
Anno
At least it's not my usual leg cramp muscle. I can physically feel that one cramping up when it happens, feeling like the whole lump of muscle is sliding down my leg under the skin. It fucking terrifies me when I feel one coming on.
im almost done with my masters stuff im trying to write a treatment plan now it's hard because my treatment modality kind of suffers if there is an explicit treatment plan i mean even diagnoses are troublesome but having a concrete "plan" really makes the treatment lose its natural and authentic quality
my treatment is really in the moment and based on just general ideas of what we need to do e.g. "build a sense of self" but putting that in a treatment plan is difficult bc it's a really in-the-moment process that's super dynamic and it's basically just talking about things naturally
Well I got cocky. And also managed to find the exact perfect muscle stretch to make that muscle cramp up. RIP me.
Anno
Oh this wasn't my usual cramp muscle, it was the one that was straining. There was a minute or so there that I was sitting on my bike, pulled to the side, unable to bend my leg inward. Took a moment for me to plan out how I was going to get off my bike and pull it to the side of the trail.
Anno
>>544814 Yeah, and I can kind of understand how this would be something risky to present to a panel for consideration or something. Without a clear chain of "if this, then"s, it can be kind of hard to sell that you have a plan at all.
like none of my books even have anything about treatment planning it's literally just "that's the symptom find out why it's there and empower them to rectify it"
Anno
>>544818 I can walk. And if I work on not getting carried away with the fun of going fast, I can bike, slowly. Means I'm taking the foot option while going up any proper hills though.
all my books say stuff like this because it's right

>>544822 there is always a why usually relating to alienation from the self or not living authentically or not coping with the so-called givens of life
Do you guys know if the new No Man's Sky is good? It looks like the kinda thing that I would like but the initial release of it makes me cautious.
Maria
I heard it was the comeback of the century
Anno
Each major update I've heard almost nothing but positive response to. They might've had a shitty start but it looks like the work they've done after release has really improved the game. However the most recent update, content-wise, is mostly aesthetic upgrades and multiplayer functionality. As far as mechanic content, it doesn't seem to add much? It may be worth to go look at the wiki or something and see what the other updates do for you, if multiplayer and base designing isn't quite the content you jump at.
Kirara, you still preparing for your thesis defense?
Kirara 🚗
it's my clinical proficiency exam, not thesis and yeah im still working on it i have one more document to write and then i just have to finish organizing some stuff and fill out some paperwork
/moe/ i have been in suuuuch a toxic emotional state recently as in, i cant get my mind off of stuff that is really iinconsequential bullshit driven by ego and entitlement

speaking if which
what is the dddia /// difference between getting your feelings hurt, and your ego bruised?
Anno
The measure by which you view the world through a cynical lens.
deshou? i wish i could wait to do it tomorrow but this is all due at noon which is the stupidest time for something to be due??? i could print it at staples or something but it'd cost like $80
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
fact that you still need to print stuff to wait what are you printing?
Kirara 🚗
four copies of my clinical proficiency exam which is like 50-60 pages
And can't send it over electrically anyway? seems like waste of paper
Anno
I'd say considering circumstances, a print copy is probably a necessity. If a panel's going to be reviewing it they'll probably want a physical copy on hand to make notes and pick apart. Especially if they're mostly all older professors.
>>544913 a tablet or laptop could work easily and if someone is present who can't use those, they can print it out that is my opinion
Anno
Sure, but your opinion doesn't take into account any of the presiding circumstances. I agree that excess paper waste is bad but that's not relevant here.
Kirara 🚗
it is complicated this is all confidential material just throwing it around online would be dangerous
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
well yeah can't really trust people to know how to handle it, tbh though there are many good ways of doing it like secure "ontime only openable" email links etc
Kirara 🚗
sending all my confidential information via snap chat
'deed the system my landlord company uses is neat you get a notification of "email behind linke" when you open the link, it locks it to one IP and will not open to any other esle anymore and even after that, the whole email expires after set time, meaning all information on it will be wiped ofc setting up a system like that must be troublesome
yet companies would get that same for maybe 10 dollars if not less ofc, they'd order 400 sets or shit but still, is weird how much the private individual has to pay for office supplies
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I mean yeah not that cheap to manufacture, but considering the BULK they are made in... it isn't that much and there is storage costs and such for the stores that carry themm, but still
Maria
stealing office supplies from your school is not only morally permissable but a moral urge
>>544985 i do but they don't have binders and dividers
Kirara 🚗
>>544986 it's not really stealing imo at least in my case that shit is mine and they're just withholding it from me I pay fuckin so much money part of my tuition is supposed to go to supplies for me YET I GET NO SUPPLIES
last week i snatched a bunch of 16gb USBs still in their packaging do i need them? no but fuck them
>>544988 this is actually a fair point, since our unies not only grant us some amount of supplies, if necessary but indirectly give us money so we can afford any extra supplies
Kirara 🚗
that's also why i was just at the clinic at 2am making like $100 worth of printing for free bitches

Kirara 🚗
i saw a fire hydrant with a dick pissing on a stop sign and a flag pole that looked like it was made of water

ive only had a fruit smoothie in the last 24 hours and im so tired

Kirara 🚗
why the fuck i gotta wait until 10am to go to staples it's an office supplies store why they ain't open at like 8

have you seen all this hullabaloo about 3d printed guns again the nra is trying to get trump to go after them apparently but it's so silly bc the government can't possibly regulate it? you can pass the files to other people by embedding them in other files lol what do they think the govt is gonna do

you could effectively regulate what people use 3D printers for by simply regulating the third dimension

yeah people don't want to be captured but bringing a phone to protests is essential because the chance of being endangered is so high and we will need to be able to contact ambulances
also as a medic i will need to be helping people make calls as necessary
i gave myself the MCMI-IV last night while printing stuff i answered honestly but i don't think objective tests are able to read me very accurately because i am so far outside the norm i got really low scores on a bunch of scales that should have been higher like major depression i got a high score on the antisocial personality scale which i was expecting because the test is designed to associate ignoring laws with hurting people and not caring about them, even though most of the laws i break are because i care about others
>>545119 if i answer honestly, yeah it's just a self-report measure i took it on the computer
it's possible that my knowledge of the test could have biased my reporting but other objective measures have failed to accurately read me in the past even before i learned them the MMPI-2 suggests that i should be experiencing psychotic symptoms regularly and probably have difficulty functioning around others which isn't quite right in general the tests are quite reliable, though
Kirara 🚗
well, they're not entirely inaccurate with me i have high adaptive capacities and a way of thinking that is uncommon, which i can understand may appear like // with a psychotic quality at times, superficially the mmpi was accurate in its measurement of my psychomotor acceleration and other facets of my personality the mcmi isn't necessarily inaccurate in suggesting i'm antisocial because at a superficial level, my behavior may sometimes appear antisocial it also correctly identified some negativistic tendencies i have
Kirara 🚗
personally, i don't think these tests are great on their own when it comes to assessing someone they can provide useful context to behavior but a lot of people think the tests are like the oracle of fucking delphi or something

I applied for a new job today but when I got there to turn my resume in I found they'd already hired someone for the spot I wanted. So I am not happy about it. I hate putting myself out there and getting rejected. It's one of those things I'm unreasonably hung up about. There is still a chance I'll get accepted but I am not happy about how my chances have been lowered by circumstances I couldn't have anticipated.
Yeah, they were understaffed and looking to fill two spots. I knew they were understaffed, I should have done this sooner. Now I know for sure they've filled one, and who knows if they have another person lined up already.

>>545158 That sounds really annoying, yeah. I hate getting rejected on stuff too.
They're going to try to prepare Fish for transfer to a US hospital soon
Anno
I went to the office of admissions to check in on a program I've been on a waitlist for acceptance to since, like May or June this year. And I was told in what was pretty much no short terms that the only thing I can do is wait and wait to hear. And if I don't hear anything after the first week of September that I can assume I didn't get in and get to try again next year. Which on top of being kind of curt, was more or less what I assumed was the case. I had to wait for like half an hour for what was maybe a five minute meeting, so it also really felt like a waste of time and a waste of transit fare. It's made me pretty sour today too.
>>545162 Yes, overall it would be a nice step up and would have better benefits. I still have a shot I guess and I have people in the office who want me in I think so maybe it will work out.
Maria
>>545163 for what purpose does someone need to go do that in person? They should be able to just let you do that sort of thing over the phone if it's only going to take five minutes
I might get paid for my clinical work next semester although not very much
Anno
>>545165 Well I could have probably just checked in through phone or mail. But I was also hoping to find some kind of action or thing I could do to expedite or improve my chances here. And for something like that, meeting in person is probably a better option, eh. I wasn't expecting anything, but it's better to try than not, I guess.
>>545169 thanks! i hope so too idk the timeline though or where they want to transfer her they have a good hospital in miami it'd be nice if it were close

>>545197 I could give you a beta key to their newest online game. I personally don't have a lot of experience with physical Magic but from watching those that do, it seems to emulate the experience of playing it really, really well.

I've got like four beta keys they gave me and I don't really know what to do with them.

>>545277 hyoudo he's really sharp but he's also a visionary so the weight of management slows him down he has to find people who don't obstruct his vision so he's really demanding about seemingly petty things but it's significant that it's not obstructing him
Maria
>>545278 Well, it is true that he wouldn't have gotten to where he was if he was incompetent Being so demanding gives him a good amount of control over his employees too But I still think all those little expenses incurred like the flight to hawaii and the employee trip add up Then again he's already rich so it's not like it matters But that demanding nature still almost resulted in the rps project missing its deadline, which would have hampered his own enjoyment
Do you think that his moodswings are genuinely random or calculated in order to keep his employees on their toes?

whenever i hear arisato minato's voice, i really want to fuck him
like joker is probably sexier but idk he seems so far above stuff like sex i can't sexualize him at all minato is really cute and that voice is so gentle though
>>545279 maybe he's demanding because he has high standards and maybe a holiday is super important who knows maybe he's got very sensitive decisions to make and wants the appropriate time to process the gravity of the situation without being susceptible to influence from the shady characters around him

>celica learns the spell after i kill it with her hahahahah
>>545284 True. The anime is from Tonegawas perspective so I wasn't considering that Hyoudo has his own difficult decisions to make
月
i imagine that he's always processing at such a stimulated level that the things that look like leisure to a lay person are actually incredible crucial to maintaining a high-functioning state, like frequent naps and adequate stimulation or a relaxing bath like really needing a really good movie on par with kurosawa just to sink into and recalibrate tonegawa's amazing but he's still simple enough to consider stuff like that leisure and not serious
>>545288 But if he's always so stimulated why does he complain about being bored all the time? Is it that it isn't the right stimulation?
月
>>545289 the context of that doesn't make sense to me sorry that's why it's crucial for him to always be looking for something to match his pace it doesn't seem contrary at all to me
月
i feel like that's also the reason why he told Ichijou to use that special feature on the bog near the end and why he was so pissed at him it wasn't about the money but that he was let down because he thought ichijou was the only one showing promise but it was such a shitty plan he was disappointed and "bored" by ichijou i think it makes sense if you replace boredom with disappointment and frustration
Maria
>>545291 By special feature, you mean the air currents around the final hole right? That's an interesting angle that lines up more with his actions presented in Kaiji
So he isn't able to gain others who are able to provide the sense of intensity he desires in his stimulation Of course it wouldn't have been about the money if you consider that he gave Kaiji a chance to draw it in the tissue raffle Are you saying that he desires someone on the same level as him and everyone just keeps letting him down It also puts mass events like the RPS arc in perspective. By gathering so many people he's able to filter out the stupid and hopefully maybe see someone play on the same level as him
>>545294 Do you think he was testing Ichijou? He probably could have chosen to shut it down and the loss of faith in the casino would have cost less than the bog payout But he wants to see if Ichijou can beat Kaiji But if he's still searching for people on the same level as him, do you think on some level he might have been just a little bit pleased Kaiji was able to display so much cunning? Or was Ichijou such a weak foe that it wasn't even intersting to see him lose
I hope the escape arc in the manga somehow leads to a final duel with Hyoudo, even if that's somewhat cliche the final arc is Kaiji attending gambling therapy
月
yeah
月
>>545292 yeah that exact moment with the lottery/raffle is what caused me a lot of pause in comparison to the bog i felt so underwhelmed by his actions in the bog arc because it seemed desperate and completely the opposite of season 1's hyoudo i wrestled with the idea enough that i made sense of it like above
he's super smart and whatever he's after is more in the validation of self than the acquisition of support or money i think he's incredibly bored because all he has is blind support and no one to stand on his ground as an equal to compete against which obviously he wants people to respect his superiority but i think he feels like nobody understands his superiority because no one is able to challenge it except maybe kaiji there for a little bit it was at least interesting enough for him to skip his nap
月
>>545292 >Or was Ichijou such a weak foe that it wasn't even intersting to see him lose I think it's probably more interesting than the other things he had to tend to there's a lot of questions there i dunno
月
is there a backstory on hyoudo in the manga i haven't read the manga yet i think he's an interesting contrast to washizu
>>545296 I can't remember I don't think Hyoudo got an explanation for his rise to power. There's a spinoff manga about Washizus rise >interesting contrast to Washizu I feel like Washizu at the very start of the glass mahjong arc seems like someone who isn't aware they desire intense stimulation yet Previously he never gave any victims a remote chance of winning their games at mahjong. Afterall he ganged up on them in 3VS1 games Compare it to Hyoudo who gives Kaiji a chance, and whose games are a little bit more fair. E-card has a guaranteed survival so long as the player doesn't bet more than 1. It suggests that Hyoudo wants to see people struggle with a chance while Washizu feels a bit more sadistic It's only after Akagi gives him a good fight that he really feels something
>>545299 I get the sense that Hyoudo is smarter than Washizu, at least when it comes to gambles Washizu isn't very good at his game
>>545299 Yeah it's a really spectacular read and setup I think he might have been showing off a little bit there. People respect him but they also view him as just being some sleepy old geezer So through his victory he's able to assert himself and remind everyone of why he's top dog in the first place
>>545297 the tissue raffle showed such extreme competence i imagine he's processing on that level all the time and it's taxing so he sleeps a lot and probably bored that there's never an outlet for his skills
