seems like the problem was resolved in the meanwhile i finished parasite that's a pretty fucked up movie, i have various emotions such as disgust - well mostly disgust honestly, for all the violence and fucked up shit in the movie, but also an admiration for the film, it's pretty creative
On all the flights I was on last month, I mostly stared out the window the whole time. On all six flights! It was really amazing. I did work on tabletop game stuff a little, though. When there were too many clouds to see the ground.

>>809674 how meditative! i like having the window seat but i was given the aisle today and the guy kept asking me if he could go to the bathroom
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
which is fine but i was just surprised by the format of the question never thought i'd be an elementary school teacher
I had to work hard to reach this point. I've become someone who can entertain themselves just by looking at the clouds. I've freed myself from the confines of my old need for constant stimulation!

"don't worry, friends. ive been doing this since before you were born"
I have an attention span that has been shattered and pulled a million different ways by modern society.
I have a hypothetical question. Let's say you're in a sorta-kinda thing with somebody that may be friendship or something else and they've been cold to you lately and they gave you the cold shoulder recently and you basically stormed off and told them they knew where to find you and to contact you once they grow up And they contact you a day or two later and ask you to come to a group movie thing without really acknowledging the thing that made you upset in the first place.
What do you do?
PANrela
ignore them but im spiteful
Anno
>>809746 I would feel like they're trying to mend the problems but have a hard time admitting that since it would mean sorta that they don't want there to be a problem but there's already a problem so. At that point I guess I would have to ask myself if the problem is big enough that brushing it aside like this is kind of only making it a bigger problem. If it isn't, and I think it's just a light bump or something, and I wanted to go see the movie, sure, but I'd probably be a little cautious around the person. I'm normally kind of a coward but if I was feeling like it was worth it I might pull them aside since we're now face to face and press them on the problem. If it is too big of a problem to just sweep under the rug I'd probably be pointed in my response and say something like "Is this you trying to get around growing up" or something, or just repeat the message I told them when I stormed off.
>>809746 I ignore them because they clearly know they made me upset but refuse to acknowledge it and just want to act like it didn't happen. I have too much pride to allow myself to be mistreated. If someone wrongs me and I tell them I'm upset but they want to pretend like that didn't happen, I can't help but get mad at them. That's like little kid level emotional development.
He said "stop moping and come to the thing" He sent me another message that just said "you should be there since you wanted to watch it"
He's definitely emotionally retarded but I think he's probably trying in his own way to fix it. Though I think he is aiming for the status quo still.
Anno
Ah gosh wording it like that would REALLY get me wound up. If I AM being a bit mopey but the person who's kinda making me mopey is telling me to stop being so without explicity trying to help then I am probably gonna get ANGERY
Yeah, that wording is super invalidating and dismissive. I would read that as "I know you're mad but you're being stupid. Just forget it and move on". I would be mad about that.
If he is trying, he needs to do better! If you give in, then that reinforces his current level of emotional functioning. If you want him to develop more emotionally and he actually cares, then he needs to try harder, in my opinion.
Personally, I don't want to spend time with someone that doesn't value me and can't engage with me at the level I need to be engaged with. It's not my job to teach a significant other how to express themselves emotionally. If it's only a little big, then it might not be a big deal but there's a point at which I see a big gap in emotional functioning and just say it's not worth my time.
That kinda wording just sounds like "it is your fault, I don't need to change" I wouldn't go in that case, unless you want to meet the other members of this group
Anno
Like I agree that it does seem like he's trying to help in his own dumb way but this roundabout and inexplicit way of trying to fix things really isn't actually fixing things. I'd probably give him an earful about that since I'd likely be seething angry at this point hah hah
Anno
Though of course I know my explosive-y temper isn't exactly par the course.
>>809746 im a little bit of a pushover, so i think i would probably take what i can get and try to work with it i have such a hard time with cold wars and crave warmth
if i felt like it was going to stay cold and be dissatisfying though, i'd probably turn elsewhere for that warmth
I think you're similar to me in this respect moon. I'm a pushover to a very large degree and I desperately want to fix it.
He's been cold lately and I think he's getting bored of me but I also think he's probably missing my presence right now because I went dark completely.
Anno
Get angry! Being angry is good some times!
Anno
Well you know what they say. Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.
>>809757 I had a situation where someone kept doing dumb stuff and wouldn't try to fix it, and I tried to be generous and accomodating What ended up happening is they took the mentality that I'll forgive anything they do and are beyond accountability
I didn't like that very much. A lot of people mistake generosity of people like us for weakness and will keep treading on it if they remain ignorant to the severity of the situation But if you try to highlight that severity, it gets looked on as petty i really dont know what to do about stuff like that!
>>809761 I often feel like people take my patience and forgiveness as something that's always going to be constant and they expect me to be those things past my breaking point.
As someone who I think has gotten pretty close to that breaking point of yours in the past some times it's not about expecting you to always be that way and more an unflailing belief that I'm right. And that self-righteousness is more important than anything. Not that it's a good mentality to have and I don't know this guy well enough to attribute my stubborness to him, but it is how I found it in those situations.
I already did break, I screamed at him and told him he had commitment issues and it was his fault things were stagnating and that he was getting bored and that if he decided to get over it he should reach out to me.
Are you wanting to leverage the distance in order to incite change, or in order to end things? As sad as it is, I think a cold war ends up hurting people like us more than them it sucks to be a pushover but im not sure what you can effectively gain
I think the best end would be if he would take this and start being a little more considerate to me. He doesn't reply to my messages sometimes even though I know he read them and he played a dumb jealousy game with me on friday that really pissed me off.
but if things can't be fixed I'd like it to end so I'm not dragged over the spikes anymore because it hurts.
I think jealousy is something that everyone feels and I definitely often feel jealous, but I think I've handled it well. I think I've done a good job letting him have space and letting him interact with other females and not been too bad about it. He ignored me and danced with someone else on friday though and it set me off big time.
>>809769 He's great when he's not doing stupid stuff and playing distance games. This stuff started kinda recently.
Yeah, I said to him that this was the last song and he should dance with me but he didn't do it and went to someone else. I think he was pretending not to hear me but he totally did.
>>809773 Yes, after it was over I yelled at him and told him to grow up and stop having commitment issues.
if he's doing that to get // if he wants your affection, hurting you is an immature way to try to get it
i think little things like that leak into greater behaviors over time that are going to create a big divide and i think you'll end up trying to bridge all of them over and over and giving him too much authority that way
at least that's what id be afraid of if it were me
Anno
It's a really dumb game of control too. Like, he'd probably be all salty in your position if the roles were swapped. So it's fine for him to do it but not you?
The problem with stuff like this is that isn't not an individual behavior. It's always a pattern of behavior. Meaning this is going to happen again and again.
There's a humongous difference between making peace and avoiding conflict. Avoiding conflict typically prolongs a lack of peace while fooling you into thinking it's peaceful because you're not doing anything.
>>809780 I'm not sure. I think he mistakes my kindness and hmm I think you guys have a sense of this but I think he mistakes that hmm that way I tend to mess things up a little bit my kindness and my tendency to sometimes make airheaded mistakes as weakness.
I know you don't like conflict Rika, but it really feels like you need to decide what you want here. If you want to keep with the guy, I think you -need- to tell him there's still a problem. A big problem. Keeping silent on him probably isn't going to reinforce that to him, if he's thinking "oh she's just being mopey", this silence is going to reinforce that, not that there's a serious problem here. So I don't think staying silent is a good option for that.
I'd worry if you can't make that decision yourself this situation is just going to keep stringing along until things are stuck in a horrible situation or worse. And I don't want to see you in that.
PANrela
Kindness is defintely a weakess // weakness if you're being too kind as a result.
>>809783 Human relationships are only successful when both parties can navigate conflict effectively. He sounds like a piece of shit to me, but you're definitely not going to help the situation if you won't be assertive. You have rights and needs, and it's going to be next to impossible to find someone who will respect and meet those if you aren't able to assert what they are.
It's uncomfortable to start allowing yourself to engage in conflict, but it's necessary if you want a healthy relationship.
If you don't assert yourself and don't set boundaries, then people can't really respect you the way you deserve to be respected. You've always set good boundaries and have been assertive with us on /moe/ so I know you can do it. It's harder in person, but you have that strength.
PANrela
yeah rika was always super assertive about my dark deeds shenanigans, be assertive now
I'm not sure what to do. I'm angry but more than my anger I miss him and want things to be the way they were. It's pathetic I'm like this after a day or two.
I don't want to push too hard and accidentally end it. It's hard to let go of hope and feelings.
I haven't replied to his messages and I have about an hour to decide if I'm going or not.
If he's not willing to put work in, and he's just expecting you to do it all yourself, what's the point? Why would you want to be with someone who doesn't think you're worth pursuing?
You're not pathetic for missing him. He's the one that's pathetic, here.
Anno
>>809793 I'm seeing three general routes here. You keep radio silence here, and if your belief here is well-grounded, the relatioship is over. You go to the movie, he does't learn his lesson, and things don't get better. Or you don't go but keep communication with him, which might circumvent him not reaching out to you any more.
By my personal standards the second route is a bad option, and I'd strongly encourage not taking it. The other two are I think better choices, but if you want to relationship to continue you need to be aggressive and probably conflict-y. Just pretend you're me or Kirara and too dumb to know when not being angry is a better option.
Is this thing he's suggesting doing tonight his way of reconciling things, trying to do something you want to do to make up for anything? Or was it happening anyway
do you think you can do something like say "I'll come if we can talk about this afterwards"? sometimes that can be a show of good faith that you're willing to appreciate each other now but communicate that it bothers you enough that you want to clear it up
im not great at this stuff either since i'm also a pushover but i know what it's like to miss someone
>>809797 Yes, I do think this is his way of trying to make it better and it's probably the best he can do because he's retarded. It was something pre-scheduled though.
It's a group activity, though, right? That's not really a good setting for reconciliation. Idk, I just don't get it. I don't think I could tolerate being with someone that doesn't have the ability to provide the things I need.
>>809796 This is my assessment of the situation as well.
Although for me it's not just about anger, it's about self-respect.
Anno
Well I get angry because I have far too much of a self-important mentality so it's kinda the same soil, different seed.
People are always praising me and telling me I'm great and that I do a good job and that I'm saving the day and stuff. I wouldn't be with someone that doesn't appreciate me at least as much as friends and coworkers. But I'm an idol, so it's a little different.
月
>>809796 there's the option of trying to solicit a response now and then going to the movie too going to the movie as a show of good faith with the conditional that things are going to be talked about afterwards
Group settings are in fact the perfect place to completely avoid having to reconcile because then, you in this case, would become "that person" that brought up personal issues into the group hangout
Anno
What's the movie anyway?
Anno
(This has no bearing on my thoughts on the actual problem I'm just curious)
Sorry if I seem intense. I get really protective of friends that I think are getting mistreated. I've become really protective in the last few months. Much more than I used to be.
PANrela
I have no strong feelings one way or the other, I'm just sharing my thoughts
People don't just suddenly start acting like that. Even if you think they were great, he might not think so. You're probably right that he fears commitment.
>>809816 If there's anything I've learned from spending the last four months trying to make online dating work for me, it's that the majority of people aren't looking for a relationship that will last the rest of their lives. People are actively looking for relationships that will last a few months to a year.
I don't really understand it, but people are like that.
Anno
This is gonna be me being probably a bit unscrupulous, but between you and him, who do you think has more social capital with the people you'd be going out to see the movie with?
PANrela
Basically that they want something for 'long enough' and then they're done until next time
I had a professor who has been a therapist for like 50 years tell me recently that it's amazing how deprived of love I have been as a child and it's weird how I can be so loving. It put a lot of things into perspective for me.
Yeah. I totally lost my chance when Cecilia died. Finding people interested in long term committment is like finding a needle on the moon.
I've been holding onto hope that I'll meet someone on my internship or something. But I don't think I will.

and now in this encounter I jumped off a cliff, forgettign that I can't safely land with just teleportation from how high we were and then combat began on the plateu I was just on
also I tried to mindrape someone who asked us to "show her something funny" she was fine
>>809866 This It's a very simple construct in Conway's game of life.
Anno
>>809866 In this situation, a very rudimentary hang-glider. His character jumped off a cliff like a total doof right as a brief fight was starting up in Kirara's game and was stuck down there for pretty much the entirety of the fight because there isn't exactly an easy way to cover like a hundred metres of straight vertical distance.

what a magnificent folly
!C0.PerkELE
everyone was meditating and mid meditation my character got the best idea to use the 100+ metre rock as a way to test hang-gliding too bad he had the material to make the cloth material but no wood to make the frame so he just jumped down to get wood

one donald duck comic I once read had a perfect analyzis of this where donald and scrooge went after some thing to make scrooge millions and they found it

Yes in the first place, I kept kicking a door down that was a slid door and unlocked
or well how the party had to deal with a quite dangerous boss, without having their MAIN healer around
Anno
I can heal pretty decently if I need to. You're just usually so eager to heal since you can usually damage off it too so I don't have to dedicate actions to it. But yeah there's a reason Tsu and Noto were both unconscious towards the end of the fight. After that real good crit I did try to get them up and moving though.
btw dunno if you stuck around, but the "share heal" way of mending, now at epic level is always Maximum amount

it seems like that would be a lot of unpleasant stress i'd imagine they're asking you to take it over because the person who's doing it now doesn't want to be doing it? i keep getting hand-me-down duties too that everyone else can't figure out how to do so they keep getting pawned off on me

Honestly if you're full-time running a sober house I'd argue that (really it already is, from the sound of it) is a full-time occupation. And them not paying you a living wage to work a job like that is pretty much criminal.

People who don't believe in gravity typically believe the Earth is accelerating through space at a speed which causes things to "fall" because the Earth is moving upwards into it.

fizzbuzz?
FormerRei@mobile
>>810721 Very famous difficult programming problem that involves abstract algebra that people are asked to solve in interviews.
FormerRei@mobile
Just kidding It's a famous very easy programming problem that seperates people who only know how to copy and paste code together from people who actually program.
The problem is to make a program that goes through tge integers 1-100 and print (as in display oon screen) each number But there's a catch For each number that is a multiple of three it instead prints fizz and for each multiple of five it instead prints buzz For numbers that are multiples of both 3 and 5 it prints fizzbuzz. And then you would be surprised at how many self proclaimed programmers can't do this.
Its really easy and the method the expect you to use involves the use of the modulus operator (remainder). So its basically Start by checking if 1 divides into 3, check if it divides into 5 evenly, it doesn't for either of those so it prints 1 Then does it for 2 and so on It's something like
JaPAN
so basically for x in y if mod(x,3)=0 && mod(x,5)=0 etc
The comments from the simps on her blog are really good. Like the guy claiming to have a phd in physics or math or whatever alleging that the modulus operator only comes up in abstract algebra. Come on dude You're not gonna get laid by reenforcing this woman's belief that fizzbuzz is hard and defending her from "trolls".
>I mean – I would be suspicious of someone who could solve fizzbuzz off the cuff. They are likely to: 1. have too much time on their hands 2. had too many interviews asking that question 3. be unsufferably arrogant 4. or all of the above.

i think the purpose is just to stop people who copy and pasted their way to a degree

JaPAN
i am pretty sure i had to do something like that in the first few weeks of the MITx intro to computer science 101 course i took
FormerRei@mobile
Unfortunately people who can't program have started to memorize it. Luckily there's a way to sirt those people out is ask them to do a fizz buzz with 5 for fizz and 7 for buzz If they can't do that they don't actually know how to program.

Only one-cour announced so far. Netflix is the financial backer though so who knows. They've placed higher risks on weirder IPs.
!C0.PerkELE
basically, hope it sells I don't know how popular dorohedoro was in japan during its run
Anno
I think it's actually selling ridiculously well though. The fantasy brothel reviewers show is at the top of the sales charts but that has a lot of things driving interest in it, including all the talk and media buzz about it. But Dorohedodo is like in the top four or five selling shows this season last I checked. Pre-order charts, at least.
>>810809 it's incredibly good i was so skeptical about how anyone would even go about animating dorohedoro but the CGI actually looks wonderful and they preserved all the charm and style of the source material very well
it is one of the few shows where it prolly benefits from cgi otherwise it would be too expensive to make, atleast for most studios
!C0.PerkELE
>>810813 fact that it even got an anime POST-run does imply that it is popular
Anno
Well I think they've been trying to get an anime of it for a long time now. And it was ended kinda abruptly since the magazine it was running in shuttered up pretty suddenly. Wouldn't be surprised if they've been trying to get the anime off the ground since while the manga was still running.
it could have used maybe 5 to 10 more chapters to pace it out better, but itwas a very dorohedoro ending
Anno
I wouldn't know I haven't read more than the first volume. Just been watching the manga otherwise.

>>810817 at one point Q said the manga wouldn't even get the chance to finish there was doubts about the serialization continuing and she was having a rough time
i was almost certain it was fated to die in obscurity, which would have been a dreadful shame i consider us very blessed to have an actual factual anime now
Anno
Another thing that would make me unsurprised if Dorohedoro got another season at least is that Beastars got greenlit for a second season in the first season too. And it's kind of in a similar position to Dorohedoro; a kinda-niche manga adaptation paid for by Netflix that uses a fairly unique reliance on 3D CGI to compound its aesthetic qualities. If Netflix is willing to take a chance on more Beastars I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same for Dorohedoro.
I have the feeling that dorohedoro was always more popular abroads than in japan

Pet was a manga that ran 2003-8 or something and is only getting an anime now. Ping Pong too, was an old manga that took a while to get an anime adaptation. It is uncommon for old series to get adaptations but it does happen.
