I've spent 15 or 16 of the last 20 hours hammering out my dissertation proposal and I'm like 40% done with it. I'm like 60-70% done with what I wanted to have done by 9am.
i feel tired but i also feel powerful it's like that youthful energy that lets you go hard even when you're tired i thought i ran out of that years ago
while putting it out, it created a nice red glow that shone through the plate I uses to extinquish it, however I didn't manage to capture an image the second iteration of the stickflamebuild didn't succeed that well
And in this case it actually is canola/rapeseed oil, though made in germany we finns generally use a completely different plant, unique to this region for it
i'd like to get some better boots i have a sheep purse that fits well with the dress but i think the book fits that slot better
Anno
My problem with the book is that the saturation is way off compared to the rest of the composition. Everything else is kind of lighter , pastelly, or desaturated. And the book just sticks out because of how crisp its image is.
月
the book is a newer item from a recent banner i think everything else in there is fairly early stuff or fairly basic stuff i think that they're capable of some better quality now i guess, though some of the new sets that come out are a little, eh, silly and immersion-breaking >>559559 it's called docile alpaca im not sure where i got it when you clear chapter 3, you get a house by the way you can visit other people's houses and decorate it, just like animal crossing
Maria
>>559554 darn I want that sheep dress That's super cute
Maria
>>559558 Oh neat, I've almost cleared 3 I feel like a lot of the early stuff gets way improved on There's a pair of jean shorts that doesn't fit with anything I pair it with. Like it's really poorly overlaid A lot of contest submissions look really silly. I like it when people submit stuff that's simple but cohesive
月
>>559560 yeah i got better jean shorts from somewhere i think ive got like four now, and that early pair is just bleh but that's why i like the customization feature so much you can take those things and upgrade/color them, or you can use them as materials for crafting different items >>559562 i got seven hours left meself but this faggot kitten is being really obnoxious and i can't focus because he keeps causing trouble i wish he was outta here
Kirara 🚗
2 more hours until i stop workin on this for today
Kirara 🚗
>>559561 laz was fucking doing that like all day it's really hard to work when he's just fuckin with everything i did like 18 hours of writing my dissertation proposal today, although im gonna do it for like another hour and a half too
my dissertation chair wanted me to summarize the articles im using but im not doing that shit i already fuckin read the articles and there's a fucking abstract that's a summary like im not gonna sit here and summarize like 40+ articles that's so much writing that i can't even adapt into my proposal it's a total waste
月
if i were to integrate an article into my paper, my summary of the article would end up being a comprehensive synopsis and interpretation ending up longer than the original article i need to get better at conciseness (concision?) but fuck, comprehensive and thorough is more enjoyable to read imo as long as it's paced well
Kirara 🚗
i am the opposite everyone says i am too terse when im reporting stuff like, my work is always accurate but people just complain that im too straight to the point but the only way i know how to fluff it out is to write in a more creative tone than a technical reporting tone? and when i fluff my work with a poetic style of writing im just told i shouldn't do that? and if i ask how to fluff they're just like, "write more" thank
for my lit review though like im not going to summarize articles im telling a story and building a narrative that leads into my study im taking information from the literature and integrating it all together in a way that flows and each point follows coherently from the last
nobody wants to read a wall of completely unrelated article summaries
月
i'm a mathemologist so i like granularly laying out the logical procession and explaining it in very consistent detail (not necessarily very thorough or completely comprehensive, but such that the energy between steps of the procession is consistent and there's no awkward gaps) this preference gets me in a lot of trouble though because people think i'm really condescending, like i assume that they're stupid so i have to explain everything to them it's just how my brain thinks and my learned pattern of distributing information a lot of times i'm only explaining something because i just found out about it and thought it was cool like recently and then someone's like "i'm not stupid you dont have to explain that to me, a middle schooler would know it" well i didn't, jeez
Kirara 🚗
oh yeah i know what you mean
im kind of annoyed with my dissertation well my dissertation chair she made me cut a lot of stuff out of my study because she thinks more than 3 IVs is too complex??? for regression like ive run regressions and worked on models with like 50 variables for stuff that was presented at a conference too
so my results are going to be super neutered "check out my regression with one predictor even though i dedicated a large chunk of my literature review to discussing predictors"
Kirara 🚗
i guess i can always redo it later properly
月
isolating data?
Kirara 🚗
predicting attitude changes my chair basically made it so i can't do that though because she didn't want me to workshop the vignettes i came up with so she literally wants me to administer two measures to the participant, followed by a psychoeducation component, and then immediately adminster those two measures again
like are you fucking mad it's so stupid it's bad design
Kirara 🚗
my original design involved presenting participants with vignettes that would be used to measure their attitudes because i didn't want participants to get a psychoeducation lesson and just be like "oh well i guess they want me to respond like this now" but that's where we are i guess
like this kind of study isn't good in the first place but at least it was originally somewhat sound
月
i can't focus on my work at all this kitten is running all over and knocking shit over, there's a ferret in the other room that's rattling its cage and smells so bad the ferret wants out to play but i dont have the time to be watching it or to clean out its cage rn nothin gets done around here really if i dont do it it seems
>>559560 I feel like a lot of winning designs look like characters you'd see in a banner ad for korean mmos
>>559561 Yeah upgrades and fusions are good I only realised today that clothes have secondary tags like "punk" or "school" and that those aren't just fluff terms used in quest descriptions
>>559574 no fucking clue roommate's friends, i dont know them that well
Maria
>>559572 Do you think there's anyone trustworthy you could call and be like "hey do you wanna play with this cute ferret for free"
>>559577 Yeah there's more to it than just the match the tag game I thought it was earlier. Like how certain clothes won't fit the theme and the game calls you out on it
月
>>559573 there's a whole lot more to this game than what's initially laid out i'm continually impressed as i get further into it
月
>>559576 that's a bigger hassle than looking after it i dont have time to micromanage that shit
Kirara 🚗
>>559575 that's fucked up and i guess y'all keepin the kitty
月
>>559579 he's not mine i take no claim to it if i can't have my grandma kitty for my anxiety then i don't really want one it's just my roommate's cat
Kirara 🚗
are you the one that has to take care of it or does he at least do that
月
i don't take care of it but if it's doin somethin it shouldnt be doin around me im not gonna let it like playing with an electrical outlet et cetera it's not a task im obligated to do or anything like that but it's just a natural response to having an animal around they take up a portion of your focus inherently i need to get a desk so i can have a little more privacy
>>559593 it's really not worth building up the energy to work, for me, unless im gonna keep it going for a long time it's wasteful to build it up and then leave it early
yeah i don't usually feel like it's worth it unless i can get like 8+ hours out of it it's really unusual for me to still have working momentum 20 // after 20 hours of work so i might as well use it
>>559602 Yeah, I have really curly hair, its a pain to deal with usually. in New Mexico the low humidity was made my hair so straight and manageable. >>559604 I'm all floof now! >>559603 See myself in the mirror was shock!
i'm writing a guide on avoiding burnout through self-care but i'm writing after spending like 20 hours writing without sleep and the irony is funny to me
>need to fill in my total earnings this year for tax stuff >literally don't have any fucking idea how much I'll make by the end of this year No clue whatsoever I haven't had a full month of work at this job yet, I have no reference here beyond manually adding up the hours in a week, figuring out how many are gonna be nights, how many are days, and how many are mornings And then multiplying those by the % for those, which I don't know what is
>>559647 I have no ability to guess I literally just know I get x money per hour, and that's what I know
Why the fuck am I supposed to know this BEFORE I'VE EVEN HAD A JOB

>In 1869, while doing experiments searching for the location of the soul, German physiologist Friedrich Goltz demonstrated that a frog that has had its brain removed will remain in slowly heated water, but an intact frog attempted to escape the water when it reached 25 °C.
that's so fucking strange lol it says he demonstrated it so i'm imagining him bringing a group of colleagues around a dead frog in a pot and they're all just looking at each other giggling while he explains how he removed a brain from a frog and it's not moving anymore
Fuck it I'll eyeball it and hopefully I can just change it later?
I'll just keep track of it and I can probably change it later
Kannagi@Ganbaranai
He managed to remove the brain and didn't think it killed the frog?
Kirara 🚗
>Goltz held a unitary view of brain function, which he demonstrated in London at the International Medical Congress of 1881. Here he showed that a dog with sections of its cerebral cortex removed, could still remain functional. Conversely, Scottish neurologist David Ferrier held the belief of localization of cerebral functions, which he demonstrated at the same conference. Ferrier presented macaque monkeys with particular paralysis following specific surgeries of the motor cortex. Ferrier's demonstration of localized functionality impressed the medical community, and was seen as a major impetus in the development of neurological surgery.
idk maybe this dude was good enough that he could take out a frog brain without killing it idk maybe he replaced its brain with something or it was magic
Kannagi@Ganbaranai
what an odd experiment, you could just remove a frogs heart and then go see the soul resides in the heart, the frog does not move
FormerRei@mobile
Gotta go
Anno
>>559657 so this guy lobotomizes monkeys for kicks, huh
sk
Well, that's what I'm doing I'll just put a reminder on my phone to make sure it's correct in like, december
Kirara 🚗
>Lewes published his findings four years and many frogs later as Sensation in the Spinal Cord in Nature, Dec. 4, 1873. He summarized the story this way: >"Goltz observed that a frog, when placed in water the temperature of which is slowly raised towards boiling, manifests uneasiness as soon as the temperature reaches 25° C., and becomes more and more agitated as the heat increases, vainly struggling to get out, and finally at 42° C., dies in a state of rigid tetanus. The evidence of feeling being thus manifested when the frog has its brain, what is the case with a brainless frog? It is absolutely the reverse. Quietly the animal sits through all successions of temperature, never once manifesting uneasiness or pain, never once attempting to escape the impending death."
hahaha what the fuck
Anno
>>559661 that's probably the best option, i'm sure that if they require you to put down your income before you have a job they let you change it after you have a job? unless this system is broken
Kirara 🚗
everyone was like fucking mindblown that this brainless frog didn't do shit
Kirara 🚗
>while healthy frogs will jump out of water when the temperature slowly gets too hot, brainless or spineless ones will not. hahahaha what the fuck is this
Kannagi@Ganbaranai
It feels like the sort of experiments and conclusion you hear in modern day conspiracy theories
>>559663 Seems I can change it right now even, if I wanna, so I'm sure it'll be fine
There's no way they can expect me to possibly calculate the total yearly income when I've had 2 half months, a vacation I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL GET PAID FOR, and now 3 weeks

Somehow, I'm full of energy and feeling incredibly productive despite having not slept in I think 28 hours and spending all but four or five of those working.
Nah, that's not what this is. This feels more like a hypomanic episode. Maybe it's in response to what I saw the other day.
FormerRei@mobile
Dude I fucking wish I could be hypomanic I would be so ptoductive. *productive Also did you see the hunter indictment for campaign fund misuse? It's really really funny.
>"On or about May 19, 2010, in Santee, California, Margaret Hunter spent $307.72 in campaign funds at Target to purchase a tablecloth, three square pillows, a three-piece brush set, a metal tray, four temporary shades, four window panels, a white duck, two Punky Brewster items, a ring pop, and two five-packs of 'animals.' In order to conceal and disguise this illegal charge, Hunter falsely told the Treasurer that it was for 'teacher/parent supporter events.'" lol
>"On or about September 16 to 19, 2011, in Boise, Idaho and elsewhere, the Hunters spent an additional $640.05 in Campaign funds for a family vacation centered on a family member's participation in a dance competition."

"On or about November 23, 2015 in an attempt to justify the use of campaign funds to pay for the family's trip to Italy, Duncan Hunter attempted to set up a day tour of a US naval facility in Italy.

are there tests for serotonin levels
Kirara 🚗
idk if any are commercially available but yeah

bone density is linked to serotonin levels, but bone density is also linked to the thiamine consumption in alcohol metabolization, and alcohol use is linked to lowered long-term serotonin levels it really bothers me that statistics holds clinical significance and is interpreted as real data i want to unlink shit like that
Kirara 🚗
yeah that stuff bothers me a lot too everything is so confounded and we pretend it's not
月
it's okay dude they test serotonin in mice so they know what they're talking about an animal whose brain function is mostly relegated to their gut health is a pretty good indicator of how a chemical that goes from the gut to the brain is going to function in a human brain like don't even worry about it they're scientists! they know what they're doing

nah, he legitimately couldn't understand how a cat accident could happen in front of a hospital
>>559900 Well yeah, that's definitely a steal. A decent single-bedroom apartment in this city would go for about twice that anywhere that's not in the dumps.
I mean it is a compact and quite well thought out appartment and you can fit in 70 of them instead of the usual 30-40 in one flathouse and the price isn't bad for within city limits but seriously 500€ for a tiny box make it atleast 400 cause 500+water+power+so on real price is basically upwards of 600€ per month
Anno
Being in a big city will always make rent prices come at a premium. That's just something you accept if you want to live in one.

i use cooked milk instead of cheese whenever i have no cheese i should get some milk that's better for cooking though some half and half or buttermilk or somethin
The smoke has been terrible lately so I'm actually falling in and out of consciousness This will srop soon hopefully so I can finally get back to being a normal functioning adult
From the fires in BC It fluctuates but it's been here since like August 4th SOme days are trash af and some calm down but it still lingers It's terrible and I think it's taking a hold on my sanity fr Nah it's manageable. I don't even attempt to stay outside for long
oh wow i didn't know it was that far north ive heard about it down here but i guess it's either more common or more widespread than i realized that must be really difficult, i can't even imagine i hope it gets better soon
a little helpless feeling and discouraged my mom just had a really, really big surgery today she's gonna have to stay in the hospital for 30 days to recover i want to go see her i'm broke though and can't afford the train ticket at the moment because my roommate decided to ignore the electric bill instead of pay the installments on it from a balance prior to when i moved in, so even though i asked several times if he needed help with it and he said no, it became a problem and i had to front a stupid high bill instead of the more manageable installments that we should have been paying ate up all my extra money, which normally i'd be okay with strapping down for a month and not worrying about it but in this instance i want to go see my mom because A) I miss her and B) I know she's having a really hard time right now well not -right- now but once the recovery starts she's surely zonked out on pain meds atm
Maybe you will get an opportunity to see her soon, by chance or by effort
Is it possible for you to borrow money from a trusted source for the ticket? If you feel it is urgent to see her then you should trust that feeling It's worth it to make their day
nah, i don't know anyone i don't have a credit card or bank account i have no friends and no social leverage i dont really have anything anymore don't even have my gun anymore to solve my lead deficiency proble
Oh, my own link is in the e-mail. It's completely okay if you don't have the energy for talking anymore, you can take it at your own pace. I'm just listening to tunes and trying to play some game like CS or Dota rn
月
i didnt think you played dota TI8 is going on right now so not a lot of people are playing
Anno
Well the stream's on its last set of the day, so people might be hopping on for games soon.
月
im about to watch the open ai match from mid-day rn i was working and sleeping all day i was looking for some TI broadcasts in mongolian but i dont think there were any
Anno
The OpenAI match was pretty interesting. Even considering the limits involved, they've already evolved pretty complexly.
月
hushhhhhh im about to watch it i dont want spoil
月
>>559970 compared to the benchmarking earlier this month? or compared to last year's exhibition?
Anno
Well my metric is the exhibition last year, since I didn't check out the benchmark they did against the talent.
Yeah they talked about it a bit. The AI has evolved since then, they mention early on that the AI doesn't need the five invincible couriers anymore, and operate with just the single one.
月
yeah they did 5-on-5 benchmarking with a limited hero pool at the beginning of august
im alive and feeling like 7/10 full power which is pretty decent How are you?
Kannagi@Ganbaranai
>>560074 I slept in a bit, so I recharged my batteries a little too. I'm a little nervous about my ultrasound appointment for my leg today, I had some leg pains and they wanted to check my leg. Its really late appointment too. 8PM.
I also have to choose what societies I want to join for when I start uni, I'm thinking of joining the LGBT and a Anglo-Japanese society. I usually feel scared to join groups but It'll be interesting to actually properly interact with people!
Yeah, that sounds really spooky. I hope it goes okay! That's in like 7 hours? or 6
I'm proud of you for taking so many steps towards your goals you're doing awesome!
Kannagi@Ganbaranai
>>560076 Yeah in about 6 hours, I just hope I can find the hospital okay, its a little bit out of the way.
I'm feeling a lot more positive, I get lot of moments where I'm panicked but I feel like I don't want to waste time being closed up. I'm probably still going to be fair cynical of normies but atleast I'm not cowering away from things I wanna do and part in.
>>560091 i want to but i don't have anything i can run it on ive always liked dva a lot but that vid made me really think she's def best girl v relatable
>>560092 I don't really know much about the characters I'll have to check out Dva, I've seen a lot of pictures of her all over the internet and cosplays as well as mercy I think
>>560100 I I've heard other people call her dee va so I kinda knew about the pronouciation. althought kinda curious how you got dou va, that kinda sounds russian ish? >>560104 I know nothing.
FormerRei@mobile
Kannagi, do you know about Gremlin DVa?
FormerRei@mobile
>>560103 It's a really funny meme that angers a lot of DVa fans. It's basically just her as a himotou like character eating doritos and drinking mountain dew.
my dissertation chair is trying to tell me that a person cannot be transgender, only "transgendered" she believes that "trangendered" is a verb and despite explaining that literally uses it as a verb
Kirara 🚗
literally nobody uses it*
ToN
thats a bery specific thing to be concerned anout like to have that particular stance on tue idea
Anno
the mollie tibbets thing hits me very close to home because I am from iowa and I think it would be the responsible thing to do to be aware that this sort of stuff is a very real reality for females everywhere and although my female friends have not been murdered I know that they have all been harassed, threatened, abused, etc., it would be silly to say that we all have to suit up and go around fighting crime but maybe there are many little things out there that we can do to make the world more safe and comfortable for the women in our lives
Yeah, I mean organizing can be pretty risky Waiting should be alright, right?
Kirara 🚗
probably idk the two black people in my program feel like they are super disadvantaged due to two race and want to do something about it so i was talking about how a union could give them power
we can threaten the accreditation of the psychology program so union actions would definitely work
Kirara 🚗
im getting some work done on my car and sitting in the waiting room and they got a coffee maker and it's covered in ants
the girl who likes to bring firearms to the location of one of the most devestating school shootings in our history is now desperate for attention as she runs around the school asking if people hate her or not while planning a rally to bring hundreds of armed people and open white supremacists to the campus
I forgot to turn off my watch's exercise timer after I finished biking this morning and now it thinks I burned 900 calories in the past three hours. It's hard to believe that's accurate, hah hah.
Kirara 🚗
damn you exercising like fucking the rock eat 10000 calories a day to survive
>>560161 you'd look goo good like maoi from moana with fewer tattoos and you know, paler
Kirara 🚗
I'm suddenly quite tired.
Anno
Guess it's finally hitting you, huh.
>>560163 Well another plus to going out biking often is that I'm getting a fair bit of sun. I probably can't get Oceania-level dark but I can get on Mediterranean olive-skin at the best.
Kirara 🚗
I managed to sleep for a few hours last night, at least, haha.
Anno
There's probably a lot of sleep debt you've got racked up yet though.
月
can't wait for openai match 2 yesterday's was great
Anno
It was a really interesting match.
One thing I noticed though is that the AI's reward system doesn't seem to account for saving long-cooldown skills very well. They blow their big skills pretty much right off the bat, which is fine early on, sure, and probably triggers positives in their reward system. But then late game comes around and they need to save their big skills for important moments, and they just, don't.
Their warding is also hilariously wonky too.
月
so glad to see them get stomped by a real team. the benchmarking was done by pro players but just scrambled, not an actual team, and i think it got more hype than it deserved for wrecking the humans
>>560169 i think it's something more subtle it's always doing gradient ascent, so i think it favors things like map sight from creep waves and keeping the map as what it thinks is favorable more so than being prepared to teamfight, like maybe that by popping exorcism and pushing those waves out it doesn't need to be prepped for a teamfight because it's in a position to avoid a teamfight or it might be undue weighting from the connection that the creeps are at the t3s, and in say half of those million games a day it plays, that's the time to be using those skills they seem to notice that the enemy has vision of a certain location, so that's why i think they'll go overboard with sentries in an area they just kind of plop them in areas that have a high frequency of revealing a ward, and if one's not found in an area they'll try some close by areas that fulfill its recognition of where vision was at but the ward may have expired or they may have had vision from something else
Kirara 🚗
maybe ill nap
Kirara 🚗
wait i just said that
Anno
Naps can be good.
ToN
enjoy your nap
Anno
>>560172 I feel there's probably an absurd level of complexity in not knowing where the enemy team is too. Like, if you can't see any or limited opponents, it probably reasons that a teamfight is not coming up, kind of what you were saying. But on the other hand you can't really predict what your enemy team is doing out in the darkness, and it's always easy to judge the mistakes the AI does in blowing crucial skills early in hindsight when it comes back to bite them.
More than that though, even really, really late in the game the AI would blow one or two ultimate skills on a single target, like dropping Ravage or Chain Frost, or both, and then getting jumped on and losing the teamfight because they don't have enough oomph. It happened way too many times during the single game for me to feel it's an "excusable" mistake for the AI.
I was also kind of disappointed that the global Call Down talent the Gyro AI picked up wasn't really relevant. It dropped it in really weird spots.
Kirara 🚗
idk if ill nap yet ill think about it
Koi@Condolance
wanna watch me play catacomb kids to 24/7 lofi hip hop radio, the best beats to study/sleep/relax to?
I hope it's not giving you too much stress. You should probably rest anyway after all that nonsense you were going through the other day. Have you caught up on your sleep
Kirara 🚗
it's not really stressful but i have a big enough following now that any one of my tweets can blow up which is cool but at the same time i have awesome mutuals and im happy just interacting with them
i got a few hours of sleep last night im lyin in bed right now i need blackout curtains i think
Kirara 🚗
also some MLs keep trying to tell me that suppressing Jewish culture to eliminate it isn't anti-Semitic
Anno
Just develop a circadian rhythm so broken that you can sleep in pretty much any kind of light setting. The only trade-off is that you feel perpetually tired all the time!
I've been meaning to watch it the past couple days, but my time for watching stuff has been pretty taken up by DIGITAL SPORTS. The Blizzard cinematics are always so good.
Overwatch just isn't a really fun game for me to play. Those arena FPS games aren't quite my cup of tea. If it had a single-player story or something I might be interested, but the multiplayer isn't really a draw for me.
sk
I just can't be bothered to get good enough at Overwatch to play it like I did TF2 And since I don't have the motivation to become a stomper, I have to rely on teammates. Randomly assigned teammates.
Kirara 🚗
i just want to play as dva
月
>>560177 using chain frost to clear creep waves is almost standard in real people games it's a pretty low cooldown at level 3
but yeah, the system is built off of millions of games per day against itself and just pulling from its own meta, so teamfights are probably really responsive and not anticipatory i think the more it plays against real teams, the more it'll be used to that but im not sure how much it'll matter when that's a scarce game once a year compared to millions of games per day it might have a little memory gem there of some unexpected behaviors from the opponent, but i think it'd be drowned out by all the noise from the other games well... i guess that memory event kind of gets seeded in and will change the way it plays against itself ever so slightly moving forward, which will create potentially a meaningful thread of development but it'd have to really gain traction, you know it might not be viscous enough and the next game around it just is slippy and whatever internal meta is happening squashes it out of prevalence
Kirara 🚗
blindfold time
Anno
Best of luck in the Dark World.
月
i really like their rotating lane strategy though i tried doing that a few times in comp many years ago i'd do chen mid but i'd clear a camp and get a creep first so i'd have the 4 role get a quick level 2 off the first two creep waves then rotate to his lane while i took over mid then when i got 5 i'd go gank top and have the offlaner go mid to finish up level 6 while i controlled top sharing the exp is really strong i think
Anno
I found that really neat too. There's probably some specific drafts too, that could really, really capitalize on letting their heroes collect a more even divvying up of levels and experience. Having to sack a particular role because that's just how it should be has never really sat well with me, though maybe that's in part because I'm often the player in that role, hah hah. Pros have talked about realizing strats and tricks from seeing how the AI has developed, so it might be interesting to see what they take away from these three AI games this International.
The best part may be that he apparently didn't need it for actual campaign financing If he put in some work he could have probably whitewashed it through campaign financing anyway, too
Cause honestly it sounds to me like he just got burgers for his campaign crew... every day or something? That's what, 8 or so burgers a day every single day of a year
Kirara 🚗
oh those burgers are way more expensive than i thought that's like 500 double burgers or like 700 single burgers
sk
That's still a lot of burgers
Kirara 🚗
well, with drinks that'd be a drink and some fries with each burger
Koi@Condolance
>>560218 in-n-out is a highly contested taste space it's shit and it's also the best shit on the west coast it's one of those things that people will argue for their lifetimes about
Kirara 🚗
ive never had it
Kirara 🚗
but it's a greasy ass fast food burger so it's probably not good after all it's not cooked with love cooking with love is important, right, blue?
Granted, I exclusively buy the cheapo double cheeseburgers I don't buy like, the Mcwhatevers cause they're like eating one of those hamburger patties you can buy at the store
the double cheese are good, not very tough or anything, nicely sized
Kirara 🚗
when you visit the US we will get you some of the greasiest most disgusting fast food burgers and some of the best ones (5 guys)
Oh, I thought you bought the buckets like how a lot of people will get like, more than 2 burgers at a time Like it was just somewhat normal to buy a bucket for yourself
Kirara 🚗
well im sure some people do but they're like $15 buckets marketed as a family meal
sk
Probably my main reaction when seeing the food will be like "are you sure they didn't fuck up my order?" Cause like, $15 sounds real cheap for that much chicken
How much is a big mac anyway
Kirara 🚗
a big mac combo is probably like $6 or so? im not sure but around that, $5-7 would come with like 750ml or a liter of a drink and a ton or fries
Like when people in the US talk about fast food prices I'm always like "what the hell, that's so cheap" But then, the prices aren't comparable because of other factors, really
Kirara 🚗
it's cheaper here but lower quality
sk
It really is too much to expect for a McD to be a McD huh?
Kirara 🚗
anyway we gotta get you all the main chicken joints chic fil a hardeys/Carl's Jr KFC
Hmm, don't really know yet. He told me that they're doing budgets next month and to check back weekly until then. There's one person who has priority over me, but only if she can pass some tests and get some certifications that I already have.
I'm hoping to start my new job on Monday, but I probably can't. My colleague is fucking me over really bad with her stupid pothead shit. I've been considering just throwing her under the bus because I'm so frustrated with it.
Anno
>>560290 if you're free, the second OpenAI game is running right now.
>>560308 She's really annoying me. She smoked a fucking bowl after being told she'd hve a drug test, so she's been putting off her drug test which is delaying everything for me. She was even going to fake the test, but then she chickened out and delayed it even more.
She kept texting me to tell me about her pee, too.
ToN
I feel bad that my moe pals are having bad gavha luck
Alice
>>560311 i wonder if my sister still plays. she has a job now.
Yeah, she's really lucky I didn't out her. I'm really annoyed about it. I need to work so I have money! And hours! She got really paranoid about it and started like, calling me to talk about it nearly every day this and last week.
And, like, texting me about the color of her pee and stuff like that. It's kind of uncomfortable!
haha there's a tabletop game episode in Voltron they were meeting one of the party members and he gave his description and background and the other two people were like "sounds like you're too busy to help us with our quest, cya" and they just leave hahaha
FormerRei@mobile
This fucking browser keeps deleting my name on /moe/.
Anno
>>560323 Harsh. It was probably a pretty exhausting background though, huh.
Kirara 🚗
haha they keep doing dumb shit like jumping out of trees and taking fall damage this is so good
yeah that's what i was thinking it feels like the writers def play
Kirara 🚗
>I really think my character would have remembered to bring a torch. >Oh, why don't you check your inventory? hmm, no torches? I guess you forgot to bring them.
FormerRei@mobile
This comes up a lot in my game but I always fucking have ropes and torches and flint and steel and what not.
Kirara 🚗
>How do I check for traps? >roll the d20 and add your trap skill to it. if it's high enough, you're good >what if it's too low? >[grins]
Kirara 🚗
lmao and they got the one dude who constantly gets crit'd
Anno
Failing a trap check can be really, really good.
Anno
For those enjoying the game solely as entertainment that is.
Kirara 🚗
yeah he failed and it was hilarious
the guy who got crit died again and just used the same character and said it was his twin brother changed his name from shiro to gyro
i am going to murder this woman she is causing me so many fucking delays just do your fucking paperwork so we can start working you annoying piece of shit
Anno
Maybe you ought to send her one of those skeleton deadline stickers.
月
im tryna watch the openai match now but this glados thing they're doing is so fucking cringey i can't stand it
i've gotten to the point that i doubt any trending/viral anecdotes on twitter the incentive for that volume of views and rt's is way too high for people's imaginations to be restricted to honest things idk it all feels so bland to me now it's like reading 4chan greentext stories that you know never actually happened even if it did happen they all feel the same now
Kirara 🚗
all of them are ones other people have posted before and went viral before
月
i just got recommended some dry satire/parody video on youtube which might be all right but it has a laugh track?? why tf would you put that in dry humor uggh
>>560371 idk they have shit that's like LESSON ONE (english word/phrase) (german word/phrase repeated four times) i can't use that for anything i can't learn like that either it seems useless to me
Maria
I mean if I search "simple Japanese conversation" I remember being able to find stuff that was just two people talking about catching the bus The sample stuff for the N3 test was like that There may be a german equivalent
i'm seeing something called "listening comprehension" it's still like too sterile though i feel like i need organically spoken stuff by people naturally
i'm not sure why it's easier for me that way but it is i think the natural human compulsion for mimicry is stronger when you're dealing with real, raw stuff and not scripted, laid out stuff there's traction to it or something
>>560376 I called earlier but no answer and no reply back yet I want to see her badly
FormerRei@mobile
This whole thing really pissed me off. The lack of communication was fucking ridiculous. *was and Nvm that *
Anno
>>560377 No Blue is entirely right in this scenario. Anything involving that sort of composition deserves nothing beyond being dumped in the FUCKING GARBAGE.
The anime announcement waaaay back where they announced their intent to animate all the parts came at the time I was thinking of reading it. There was just an opportune moment. And now every time I think, "well they're taking so long, I might as well just go read it", the next part gets its announcement.
>>560414 The large number of characters that are made // are shown clearly to not he wearing panties, the several characters that show their nipples in their CGs, and the number of characters which just have clearly visible panties before they're even damaged. A lot of the art is pretty tasteless.
>>560421 Well, I guess if it doesn't bother you, more power to you. I don't really like it, though. That and the boringish gameplay, I just couldn't keep my interest in it.
>>560424 It doesn't bother me too much. When consuming weeb media I'm almost always in old man mode, at least when I'm not in fujoshi mode. So stuff like that doesn't bother me at all.
MUSHROOM MAGIC >>560427 see if you ruined any clothes or linen atleast will be easier to know where the blood comes and not just one day notice "huh I have a large blood stain on my sheets, where the fuck did this come from"
>>560461 Well, as far as guys go, you're kind of the exception. Most times if a girl says something racy like that to a guy she's going to get well maybe most times is a bit much but a girl is much more likely to get a positive response from something like that than a guy is. So girls are more likely to go with that approach.
Plus if she's into pee she's probably also into humiliation so she's probably enjoying saying embarrassing stuff like that too.
Maria
So you're saying she's going out of her way to try and humiliate and embarrass him That doesn't sound like a good person
>>560464 >>560466 Yeah, it's a thing where she's humiliating herself. Losing bladder control and wetting yourself is really humiliating. It's also way easier for girls to pick up that kink because it's easy for girls to wet themselves and insanely difficult for guys to wet themselves. It's a biological difference that has to do with the difference in length in the urinary tract.
>>560466 Yeah, exception may be a bit of an extreme word, like when i was saying that it works most of the time. but saying stuff like that is a pretty common female tactic, since girls are kinda left with the role in the game of needing to invite a guy to be the one who gets things rolling. if that sentence makes any sense
Maria
>>560470 Putting that medical knowledge to informative use I see
>>560470 That makes it more inappropriate! I'm being sexually harassed. Unwanted sexual advances are being directed at me! By someone who shares your archetype!
月
>>560462 i dont think that pee and humiliation are inherently linked there's probably overlap but i don't think it's too connected
>>560475 I don't like being sexually harassed and I feel like it happens more often than it should.
Well, she should know that she won't have success with me I've even been encouraging her to date some NASA engineer she had a date wth I'm very clearly not interested
>>560480 Fish will probably just have them executed. You know how the rich are.
Young women shouldn't be able to get away with sexually harassing me! Being one of the few men in a field that's mostly women probably doesn't do me any favors.
