i got invited to a birthday party and i seriously, seriously don't want to go but i also think me not going would be the final nail in the coffin for my friendship with this person.
i already declined her invite last year
Rei@earth
>>993770 dude you shoupd go *should Well I mean if you want to why dont you want to go? actually lets put this cinversatiob on pause for like 30 mnnutes im in desoerate need of a nap
>>993776 Well if you want to keep being friends with them, you've got to put in your side of the friendship effort too And showing up for a few hours you don't particularly enjoy to show you respect a party they're throwing is good friendship effort
Of course I'm not going to tell you who you should be friends with And judging from your response you wouldn't be terribly torn over this friendship withering out
>>993787 But for real i've had enough shit jobs over the years where you gotta get up ungodly early. so i feel you.
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>doesn't have to get up early >still does anyway the absolute madman >>993793 ye and the work still sucks even if I think I'm pretty competent it's drains me to turn up ah well if I didn't like it I suppose I would've hit the road
>>993796 a lot of video creators have it as a sponsor
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
I think there's an add-on for that never tried it I have one or two channels that are sponsored that I watch nothing from Manscape although probably more sponsering really did become the go-to for youtubers huh
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
>>993798 The "Lawnmower 4.0" has an add-on so you can shine a torch on your arsehole
rook
>>993798 sponsorblock it's great, autoskips the ads and shows little blocks on the video's timeline for where they are you can modify it to only skip certain types of ads too, if you want to leave in self-promotion type stuff while still skipping sponsors doesn't always work on new videos though
>>993779 It actually is harder to do what I'm currently doing on the mobile client.
Since I'm going for the Clue Hound pet, which is a 1/1000 chance every time you open a master casket and the best way to stack up master caskets is to open medium caskets, which each have a 1/30 chance to drop a master clue. and med clues are really easy and quick to get since you can just buy eclectic imps from the GE and open a whole inventory of them until you get a clue.
And spamming out med clues is a lot easier to do on desktop, mostly because thee desktop client has a plug-in which does work solving the clues for you. Not to mention it's just easier to quickly navigate interfaces and menus if you need to constantly travel around the map.
so yes. Playing on mobile for an evening would actually have an impact on my gains.
>>993800 I somehow don't mind the placements as much as regular ads - which I can't stand. ever. the creators sometimes make placements engaging to listen to.
>>993801 I didn't mind them at first but there are only so many times I can listen to someone talk about expressVPN or honey or ball shaving before I get tired of it, even if they try to spice it up I'd rather just get on with the video
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yea i don't care about sponsorships even erik's elaborate skits i skip over idc no matter how many commenters are like "this is your best skit ever!" it's still shouting an ad at me for 60 sec
>>993803 >>993804 I'll skip over the ones that are just obviously a deadpan read "Hey have you heard about Audible, it's the #1 source for downloading audiobooks, podcasts, wellness and mindfulness instructions and more". But if they try to put a bit of personality into it i'm a bit more forgiving.
But I can't overstate strongly enough how much I hate the embedded yt ads that show if you don't have a blocker on.
I just also think Manscapped's whole existence as a product service is weird.

>>993860 im sure ive seen screenshots of it like a decade ago I know that sensei gets her head bit off and that dumb childhood friend gets fate worse than deathed, sumika
It came as a bit of a shock to me, at least I just wasn't expecting the series to go there I expected a lot of things, but that one was surprising to say the least
Rei@earth
oh also somewhere I have a picture of that other character biting off a beta's head.

another thing that will slow me down is that i fell behind on a lot of manga
Generally if I fall behind on manga I just basically drop it honestly Cause it very quickly reaches the "but I don't wanna read that much right now" threshhold, and getting back from that takes a lot
Rei@earth
>>993868 god forbid if I fall too far behind I restart the whole thing and then I fell super far behind on a ton of stuff when mangadex went down and now I have hundreds of tabs of manga open althiugh these past four days ive been closing more tabs than ive opened so im catching uo *up

my biggest problems are getting distracted and deciding what to read next
Rei@earth
I can sit down and read 50+ chapters easily of one series I mean byt *but it could take me like twenty minutes to decide what to read next

unless I have plans or get really depressed I usually read hundreds of pages of manga every day

im actually about to get in the bath with my phone and read for a few hours.

and then there's this person who decided to completely miss out on staking for TEN YEARS https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/qbitmx/anyone_locking_eth_for_10_years/
taxwise, crypto just counts like any stonks, here, but the issue is the staking which kinda has you just... effectively generate stonks out of thin air? like is that income or value appreciation?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
its like being paid interest or dividends

could also be like income yea. it depends on the jurisdiction
why in god's name would you lock yourself out of accessing your assets lmao just have some self control and don't sell them randombly, don't throw the key away what if you need the money, man
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
some people dont have self control they blow their paycheck the second they get it
that's almost more reason not to do this though, cause that sorta spending behavior means you're probably gonna find yourself in a situation where you really, really need that fucking money to pay something important, like rent, or insurance, or whatever
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
sure well then they go down to their friendly payday loan provider
I have graciously been blessed by the powers that be with at least one parent of fairly decent means who can bail me out pretty much any time if I royally fuck up, but I don't like abusing that, either
So I try not to spend more than I can Which was difficult for the past year, because "more than I can" was, you know, any non-zero value
So as a result, I ended up just saying "fuck it" I was not in a good place for most of this past year, honestly

Dune was good It's a shame that so much of the first half of the book is set up for the second half I feel it's the kind of movie that fans of the book will really enjoy and fans of sci-fi will be down for part two But the charm is probably lost on people who fall outside those categories
Anno
I think they did av fantastic job with the environment choice and architectural/ship/fashion design Arrakis feels alien and strange, and all the little details that make up the pastiche of a culture, cultures really, which are foreign yet familiar to us work really well The soundscape was another highlight to me, they used sound and music cues in ways that set up certain scenes excellently There's a bit to critique in how they leaned a bit into the habit of most modern cinema of making everyone talk like they're mumbling amongst eachother except for when they're literally shouting, but as far as I can tell that's just a universal thing that's here to stay
>>994513 yea i liked the big sets kinda cool i like the fremen style of just lyin around and lookin stealthy

I felt a lot of the fighting looked a bit clunky, like, it looked like staged hits and stabs rather than actual violence, but that aside, I adored the way the Fremen fought It was quick and agile and very much the kind of combat you'd expect from a culture of people who will eventually go on to wage a jihad against the entire galaxy Hiding in the sand as cover and moving around and above their opponents is extremely cool

There's some weird scheduling stuff with Dune A bunch of European countries had it in theatres like two or three weeks before it released in North America because of some condition for any movie being shown at the film festival it was presented at
