?? That sounds a bit too exstreme!
The kitchen at our wedding place was on amphetamines but rather cause these people had a thing for it than work being so tough.

Im fine with AI art cause I have two left hands while being right handed
or perhaps never had the patience & dedication to git gud with drawing bleh
but letting AI write for u stuff like that seems weird2me, I use it for correction, check if it makes sense, or just write invoices/business mails for me cause thats just boring
>oh shit I think fren is waiting outside for me 2 smoke together
>I got distracted with my ramblings over here
>sry need 2stfu

taking it easy on a day off
today i felt pure bliss in being able to wake up at 9 am and lazing about in my bed until 9:30 before i got my breakfast and went leave my earbuds with the technical assistance place
i went out for lunch but a sudden storm caught me, good thing i was expecting it (umbrella on me) but it was so strong that i got my feet and legs wet anyway
but overall tasty food once again, full belly and ready to take it easy for the rest of the day, playing neon white, talking to family and my friend, and posting here

here's hoping you guys stay safe this weekend too

I went to sleep early and I woke up early too. My sleep schedule is being broken and repaired almosy everyday lately.

>>81646662
>but letting AI write for u stuff like that seems weird2me
It worries me a lot too, but I feel like it's a lot less controversial than other generative AI things like art for some reason.
Outsourcing your thinking to vector calculus we tricked into finding the right order to put words in seems like a horrible idea. But people generally prefer short-term, easy stuff so I guess we just have to live with a pretty large number of people doing that. Worst case scenario we end up with a class of people completely dependant on AI because they trained themselves to use it in the worst possible way. Funnily enough, posting on places like imageboards might be a pretty good panacea to that.

>how the use of LLMs affects cognitive load and memory formation
This research pisses me off a little
>comparing the ability to quote things from an essay when the AI users didn't even write it themselves
I mean duh, what else were they expecting to see?
>all the essay prompts are open-ended topics that require you to give your own personal opinions about them
I really don't get why they chose to go with such topics instead of specific subjects that require actual preparation. Like there's a prompt about "happiness", what could you possibly write on that essay that isn't exclusively based on your own views and opinions?
>the whole paper is basically just saying "ze brain is like a mussle, not using it causes atrophy"
We didn't need 200 pages of masturbatory science to understand this. It's not a problem exclusive to AI, we've become dependent on a lot of tools and it's clearly getting worse as technology progresses.
AI is great but it has to be used wisely. Give it to idiots and they'll stay idiots or maybe become even dumber, but give it to people who can understand and make use of its potential and it can become a very powerful tool.
Your concern is real though since the average person has room temperature IQ, so imagine when the average starts to go even lower because people can't think for themselves anymore...

You guys should all listen to Hydromania by Nuvfr, it's really good.

You shouldn't operate vehicles when you're sleepy.

>>81647845
>I mean duh, what else were they expecting to see?
It is obvious but I think in the current climate of AI hype, far too many stakeholders (and just regular people) have bought into the hype and need to be told incredibly obvious things before they do something stupid. Sometimes it has to be dressed up in a weird brain wave study to make it more palatable to them.
>I really don't get why they chose to go with such topics instead of specific subjects that require actual preparation
My best guess is that's it's easier to find participants for that. I'd be interested if there'd be any differences if it was on some kind of specialist knowledge.
I'd like to see a long-term study to see the effects over e.g., a year but I'm not sure how you'd do that or get ethics approval for diet-lobotomising people.
>give it to people who can understand and make use of its potential and it can become a very powerful tool
>since the average person has room temperature IQ, so imagine when the average starts to go even lower because people can't think for themselves anymore...
I'm about 50 papers deep now and am thoroughly blackpilled at this point. Quite a few talk about the benefits of chatbots if they're used properly but I get the feeling that the percentage of people actually doing that is pretty low, at least from lay-men I've interacted with. By that I mean a taxi driver one time.
One finding in a different paper that jumped out to me was that people who benefitted most from AI (productivity/test score-wise) tended to score lower in executive function. I do worry that we'll end up with an underclass of people who can only proompt and not much else. For my sake I hope I'm just being an alarmist.

I met lots of people in the online world over the years desu
> i tend to go on tangents when it comes to history stuff
But yea I luv history too
I must shamefully admit I hab become rusty with it and a lot other things im usually autistic over bleh
Well which time period interests you the most? I dont rly have one methinks, I rather like the bigger pictures
But the victorian time period looked rly neat if u ask me, specially their houses/mansions
>i think mine are usually about capitalism, characters i dont like and just how unfair everything is in this world
Capitalism IS good! Yea the current.state is broken but its better than communism
The world is hardcore unfair true, I hab seen from very poor to very rich myself, so ig I feel che guevara on some level
But I wont follow his footsteps oh lol
>>That sounds a bit too exstreme!

>>81648921
>I met lots of people in the online world over the years desu
do you never get tired of meeting/talking to new people?
>which time period interests you the most?
the medieval times! i know a lot useless stuff about crusades, how living was back then, the equipment of soldiers, war machines, major battles and such. although for whatever reason i keep forgetting it whenever someone asks me more information about it... its like, i have this knowledge in a closet of my mind that i cant find whenever i need it, but randomly opens on its own... i think the victorian time is neat aswell, lots of interestin stuff happened
>Capitalism IS good!
eh... there has to be something better i hope. no way this is the best humanity can come up with.
>Run while you can!
but what else am i to do? ive spent so much time looking for something to do in my life and now everyone is just telling me to do something else...
>you didnt used the time any better
i already feel that way though, for the present and the past, i honestly just dont wanna get old in this world
>I would rather pick the bass but drum is okies too
...i was asking about the genre (unless that was a joke and i didnt get it in that case sorry)

That's true, literally the only kind of people who benefit from such studies are those who rely too much on scientific proof and have no common sense. Nobody with a working pair of brain cells will use AI and not realize the consequences of using it wrong
>I'd like to see a long-term study to see the effects over e.g., a year
We'll see it happen in real time soon anyway... The newer gens are already struggling with education, attention span, etc. due to technology. AI will be the nail in the coffin for them
>I'm about 50 papers deep
My condolences
>tended to score lower in executive function
It's making people lazier for sure. From my experience (I've used AI code editors for ~2 months) it did make me lazier than I already was, now I don't feel like touching code if I don't have an AI to assist me, but at the same time it motivated me to do things that I otherwise would've never tried, either because it's too daunting to do alone or not worth the effort

Oh yeah I love this stuff because I grew up on Windows XP and 7 and also because I have a fixation on this very specific futuristic aesthetic that appeared specifically in early 2000's (with the dominating themes of freshness and "wateryness").

>literally the only kind of people who benefit from such studies are those who rely too much on scientific proof and have no common sense.
Unfortunately those guys are usually at the helm... A lot of people have gone all-in on AI thinking it's magic solution, even though they could watch a 30 minute YouTube video have the whole thing demystified.
>The newer gens are already struggling with education, attention span, etc. due to technology. AI will be the nail in the coffin for them
My friend used to teach undergrads and he said they've gotten dumber, and that was only 4 years after we graduated (and teaching somewhere with way higher entry requirements). In my last job a few of the professors said students were handing in complete nonsense written with ChatGPT.
Not a good time to be going into education...

>at the same time it motivated me to do things that I otherwise would've never tried, either because it's too daunting to do alone or not worth the effort
I guess you need to decide if that's a good trade-off for you. For all the doom and gloom I don't think it's necessarily bad to not develop certain skills, provided that energy gets put somewhere else.

From a programmer's perspective it makes you feel more like an engineer and less like a code monkey since the focus can be shifted onto more important things like concepts and design. Sometimes it can also help with iteration and modularization, stuff that can take a lot of time and effort and maybe isn't needed for the thing to work so it's often overlooked
>>81650533
>i only started playing because spotify threw glass ocean my way
The game is pretty much 30% music if not more, it's simply too good
I tend to get hooked to games that have good music, even if I don't feel like playing them I just come back to listen to the soundtracks
>sounds too stressful
To me it doesn't!
Neon White in particular has incredibly cool strats you can learn. I really got a kick out of it and it's rare for that to happen
>but you got everything else didn't you?
Yeah but now I'm out of shape so unless I spend another hundred hours on it I won't geddit... I will forever regreddit
Maybe I'll get addicted again though, who knows. Listening to the OST right now is making me wanna reinstall it...

>>81654247
Good to know hehe.
>>81654878
I also really like water ambience, not the rain the water specifically. It unlocks some kind of primordial comforting feeling (maybe because all life came from water..).
I read a really nice doujin yesterday, while it wasn't specifically dedicated to this style of y2k futurism the overall feeling (and artstyle and some stories in it) were exactly the kind of thing I like the most.

>Can't imagine how stressful being a teacher is now with all the slop being produced.
It's not great. An internet friend works as a high school substitute teacher in America and they say nothing but buzzwords.
I've also heard there are a bunch of tiktok trends on how to get extension for assignments and you can tell because about 20 students will all do the same thing at the same time.
>Well at least people have been making tools that can detect it
Yep. Plus you can make AI write the assignment, AI do the assignment, and have AI grade it. No humans necessary!
>Maybe you could ask... never mind
That's basically what my supervisor did. In my email to 'help' he got ChatGPT to write a summary of the task with some places to start looking (none of the things were particularly useful).
>From a programmer's perspective it makes you feel more like an engineer and less like a code monkey since the focus can be shifted onto more important things like concepts and design.
Makes sense. One of the ironies is that it puts the user in a supervisory role where you need to be able to program to spot any mistakes it makes, so you now need to know how to supervise/manage it in addition to knowing how to program.
Or you could just "vibe code". Whatever that is.

I forgot it was Sunday but I'll try and do a movie night in a couple of hours. Same place as usual. This week is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

yuyu here to say I'm free from the shackles of the sewing shop ! The show finally opened and I got to see things I made on stage (maybe worth the exhaustion ?)

waking up at 9:30 am and taking it easy
today i dreamed i was in some kind of really old, "abandoned" hotel
everything was made of wood and stuff still and there was just me and another group of people who lived there, nothing much around us
we were holding some karen captive too, i was holding her by the wrists, and despite being blonde and hot, there was zero attraction towards her due to her political background and overall being an entitled cunt
i took her up through an elevator in the more modern area of the hotel to a room to leave her in, and meanwhile some other guy came up and talked to me but for some reason, i pretend i didn't know how to communicate at all

overall the place felt quite cozy and very old, felt fairly tribal too

>>81651370
>what would u say is ur top genre then?
hard to say, most likely automation and base building but i also have a thing for rpgs
factorio, satisfactory, oxygen not included, terraria, starbound, minecrap, are some of the titles i keep coming back to

>i dont have a lot on my mind
not having a lot on your mind must mean you're quite carefree then
it's not all that bad, i suppose

>>81654878
>even if I don't feel like playing them I just come back to listen to the soundtracks
i often just listen to the songs on spotify or somewhere else if i don't want to play them

>To me it doesn't!
aye, if that's the sort of thing you enjoy then that's good
i like to chill instead so, not for me lol
>incredibly cool strats you can learn.
like what for instance?

>I will forever regreddit
or maybe not? i mean give it a try anyway
me i think i'll try doing the rushes, but eh... seems kinda daunting right now lol

>so you now need to know how to supervise/manage it in addition to knowing how to program
True, unless you treat the slop as a sloppy blackbox and hope it does what you wanted
>Whatever that is
The term has already lost its original meaning but it basically refers to using AI to generate code without ever looking at it, not even a glance to make sure it's correct

>maybe worth the exhaustion ?

>>81656453
>i often just listen to the songs
That's what I usually do too, but as silly as it sounds, if I'm not playing the game then I'm not getting the full experience, so it doesn't feel the same...

Uhh, no idea honestly. I wanted to search for some after I'm done with Hydromania but that hasn't happened yet. Maybe try something like "sea ambience" or "ocean ambience" on youtube?
>What doujin was it?
LIFE FORMS by Softcharm. He's kind of enigmatic (like most doujin artists from early 2000's) but thankfully web archive has his website saved on it so I was able to see more than just what his doujin books say. There's just something about 2000's doujinshis that makes them different, especially all these japanese only web page host sites lost to time. One disclaimer tho he's a hentai artist and all his available works are heavily R-18.

i miss lurker-chan...
where has she gone...

>>81656803
>but i prefer the aesthetics and building rather than the technical stuff
aye, you have more of a designer view on things while i'm more of the engineer type

>It is bad when u wanna connect with ppl
people usually love talking about themselves, so ask questions instead
maybe now and again you'll find something to yap about, so long as you reflect on things, you start forming thoughts and opinions
it's really a process where you just... do it, rather than anyone trying to explain it to you

>spicy sweet chilli sauce
ah that, sounds pretty nice with the chicken
>would u geddit as well?
not my first choice for japanese food, but i sure would
it looks quite tasty

>>81657755
>it doesn't feel the same...
aye, i get it as well
to me it's more like, experiencing the song instead of the game, so the mindset changes in those circumstances

>vid
woa that is impressive lol
one must really have the path memorized by heart to be able to do that, which is something i struggle with
but very impressive indeed

>Have you done all the main levels?
aye, i always made a point of getting the ace medal and the gift in every level i could
only the last one left cause it didn't let me retry, lol

>Shapez 2
yeah i heard of it, but i haven't really played it
it's on my watch for sure, but i need to get my pc back if i'm to play anything slightly more demanding, my poor old laptop can't hold its own anymore lol
the other day i bought katana zero and subnautica below zero to try and play, i may also get rimworld later

>>81656803
>is ur mother the same then?
Very much so.
>How did u convince her 2 let u do these things by urself?
It mostly came down to money in the end. And possibly my dad watching YouTube videos about here.
>I'm not sure it'll stay that way 4 long...
Perhaps. Enjoy the relative safety while you can.

Update found some fossils at my local beach. Some shark teeth Great White (Miocene-Pliocene) and Tiger Shark from the same period. A Ray dental plate and stinger from the Miocene and a Whale bone chunk from that time period. A decent fossil hunt for just spending 2 hours out there.

I haven't played it either, tempted to get it sometime soon
I love automation games too but they require too much commitment. Shapez is different because it only focuses on the juice, so you can play for like 10-20 min and still feel like you got something done on it

I know what you may think but I'm actually the type of people who watch porn for plot (lol). I just really love the artstyle and how his books are formated overall, the actual contents aren't in my focus.
>In what ways?
I know I said this but what I actually mean is that a lot of these artists from 2000's and 2010's have very little presence in the web after their activity period. Yes a lot of them still have twitter or pixiv or maybe even do comission through skeb but also a lot of them just vanish out of sight, which makes it all more mysterious. Ofc it might be just me overthinking and maybe Softcharm is still alive and well, working 9 to 5 somewhere in Japan, maybe even got married and has children, but again there's no real way to verify anything because of how much japanese people value privacy and identity protection.
Or maybe it's only this way for me, a guy who gets autistically attached to completely random things and literallywho people.

LOL

hope... the best and worst feeling one can have. hope can hurt so much, but it can save you as well. its crazy to me how much humans can do when there's hope. its like some kind of reserve battery we have for when things get so bad and you have nothing that makes you go on anymore. if you have hope, then you get this strange burst of energy that lets you do things that you never thought you could've done before. it gives you courage, motivation, reason, to put everything you have into something. it makes you strive to be better, to be there for tomorrow, to continue on the path even if its treacherous. and yet, this same feeling can bring someone to their knees whenever it is shattered. putting all that remains of your hope into something, or someone, is so scary. its a gambit, it can be a death sentence. because, once its gone for good, once it's completely spent, hope never comes back. and then there's nothing to keep you going. no more batteries. only the waves move whatever is left of you. and when hope breaks, when it runs out, it hurts so much. its like a stab in the back, from this feeling you trusted with your life, only to see it turn back on you and overwhelm your entire being with nothing but with the opposite of what it promised; hopelessness. and then, all that remains is yourself. yourself, with nothing but this awful feeling. it lingers... it never goes away, it becomes part of you, a part that forever lives until you're spent. but until then, until the last little faint light of hope fizzles away, there's still something we can do! we can nurture this small light into something bigger, if we treat it with care, if we cherish it and do whatever it takes to never let it die and leave space for darkness. just like this little light is there for you, you have to be there for it, and do your best to keep it aflame. don't give up on it! its trying so hard to stay alive, and you have to do it too, so that you can both grow stronger, and brighter each day.

>>81664082
>watch porn for plot
Don't you get frustrated after a while?
>a lot of them just vanish out of sight

>>81666273

My Japanese IG followers seem to only like my posts if they're related to traditional Japanese dance. Now that's all fine and dandy, but I don't have many opportunities to film myself dancing unless it's at home, and I've already done it once. I suspect the only reason I got likes was because I'm a foreign guy doing a traditional Japanese dance outside Japan. I don't wanna be a dancing monkey for likes, but those people are the only ones who get my niche interest. Nobody even leaves a comment or DMs me, it's just silent likes and sometimes follows. I wish I could meet a dancer girl from Japan, marry her and go live there.

Lousy start for the day. Subhuman neighbors were renovating in their bathroom again so I woke up to the sounds of hammering and drilling. Then Dickhead-senpai from iaido texted me asking for his oversized hand-me-down aikido uniform back because I wasn't wearing it and he took that as a personal offense for some reason. Can't wait to go to training today, struggle with the art itself and also feel further alienated by my boomer peers. At least iaido has been helping me build character and not give up so easily even when it's tough. This isn't about those grumpy boomers, it's about my personal growth. It's just a shame I have to carry the burden of everything pretty much alone.

>i mean you start somewhere, eventually people are gonna comment too perhaps. maybe you could leave a question in the caption or something (in japanese) so that someone might answer. also you're not a dance monkey, you like doing it do you not?
Yeah you're right, and I do like what I'm doing. It's just the isolation making me kinda upset over trivial shit like IG. It sucks not being seen by people in your actual life and having to turn to others for some validation that you aren't a complete weirdo.

>>81672835
>just keep doing what ur doing and eventually ppl will dm u probably
Perhaps.

>>81676894
I'm afraid Mr Pinyan is busy

>>81676996
Well damn, you ruined my joke. Oh well.

>>81673094
that sure does look like an interesting rock
>>81675809
>Hope could contend the spot with Love as the worst and best feeling
yeah, i agree anon. im still trying to figure out if love is worth all the pain it brings. i like to believe its worth everything, but it can take away just as much as it can give you.
>>81676001
whats canada day? are we celebrating beavers? i do like beavers!

might get hired in an interview today for a waiter job. sigh. curse that anon that told me to try it... but i guess its too late to pull back now

>>81673094
that sure does look like an interesting rock
>>81675809
>Hope could contend the spot with Love as the worst and best feeling

>>81676992
>it's about my personal growth
thats right anon! dont worry about others, just think about yourself.
>carry the burden of everything pretty much alone
yeah, it is painful when you've got no one to rely on. but i guess its kind of how most of life goes. at the very least you've got us to talk with. if that matters to you
>It's just the isolation making me kinda upset over trivial shit like IG
its also the nature of social media itself, it twists your view of the real world and makes you look for validation all the time. when in reality, the best thing one can learn is to live without it. but its hard, i struggle with it a lot too.
>to turn to others for some validation that you aren't a complete weirdo
even if you are, as long as you're among other weirdos that like the same thing then i dont see a problem!

>>81677179
>whats canada day?
4th of july canada edition.
are we celebrating beavers? i do like beavers!
We celebrate the Mapleland and Kevin Bacon, duh

>>81677179
>thats right anon! dont worry about others, just think about yourself.
Even my iaido teacher is a dickhead. I asked him about payment for this month's classes and instead of giving me a short answer, he wrote me a wall of text about how he his wife, kids or whatever don't get compensated and that he continues to pay rent normally etc etc. But "if it bothers me", I could pay less this month. I asked a simple question and got some weird patronizing, guilt tripping response. He's lucky he's basically the only iaido teacher in my shit country, or I'd go elsewhere, especially with dojo members like the ones I got.
>at the very least you've got us to talk with. if that matters to you
It does help, but people on 4chan can't be with you every step of the way like someone real could. This is my place to vent and take it easy though, because at least people here are nice. Usually I only talk to ChatGPT.
>its also the nature of social media itself, it twists your view of the real world and makes you look for validation all the time.
There's an element of that. But also I feel lonely being into this traditional Japanese dance in a place where nobody knows or cares about it. That's the sole reason I made an IG, to connect with people from Japan who dance/like it. The downside is that I'm not able to post stuff as often as they do, because I don't have the same ecosystem they do (groups, clothes, even places to film). So I want to post more, I just can't due to logistics.

All I want is one person to stand by me in real life, but I can't even find that. Feels like everyone is dismissive of me.

I ship koishi anon and kaguya anon

>>81678231
Certified oldfag ship. Thank you for your service.

I ship the two anons above

>>81677319
no clue who kevin bacon is but i will assume from his name that he invented bacon
>>81677668
>I could pay less this month
well i mean, considering he'd made such a fuss about it if i was you i'd take the chance lmao. still he seems rather insecure or something. whatever, just go on with your life and dont worry about him
>people on 4chan can't be with you every step of the way like someone real could
yeah, i know. it sucks, i wish i could meet people like these in real life. online friends can only do so much sadly. im glad you can take it easy in this thread at least!
>groups, clothes, even places to film
cant you films some dances in the dojo you go to?
>All I want is one person to stand by me in real life, but I can't even find that. Feels like everyone is dismissive of me.
same anon, same. it is what it is i guess. just gotta hold tight...

Waking up very late and taking it easy. Today will surely be the day I write that report.

>>81669516
>what sort of propaganda did he watch?
Videos about how advanced Chinese cities are.
>yeah... Sigh i do hope nothing ever happens...
You'll be alright. Just live in the moment for now.

>>81670503
>i do like myths such as those
The Greeks probably had a bunch of crappy stories no one bothered to remember, so we're left with the good ones. Same with the old testament.

>>81670601
I'm glad you were able to watch it with us. I'm kind of shocked by just how much of it I could remember verbatim.
Get well soon!

>>81677179
What's tipping culture like where you are? It can be pretty good money in some places.

This might be surprising to some of you, but I do plan on getting a decent or a dream job one day,
My biggest problems is that I don't have neither a printer or a car, I know job hunting those days is Online, but the fact that I still don't have means of transportation other than public transportation is still a problem, I been talking with my mother and trying to convince both her and my psychiatrist to let me drive, but so far it's been a slow progress but I'm still trying

Wish me luck anons

hmmm should i start drinking at 11 am?

>>81679364
No that's too late, you should take it seriously and start at 6 am tomorrow

i would probably give him a job doing what he wants to do and also grant his most popular wish, why?

Today I woke, went rowing, and will have lunch with my father.
I got a new book of sheet music for my accordion - I'd like to learn to play "Walking The Streets Of A Former Hell" but first I have to learn basics.
I will apply for a few more jobs today, and find something fun to do outside- then come home and clean up a bit. I have been making good headway on disposing of things.

the interview went well i think. i dont get why interviewers ask what hobbies you have. how does that matter?

>>81678861
>The Greeks probably had a bunch of crappy stories no one bothered to remember, so we're left with the good ones. Same with the old testament.
honestly the bible is such an interesting book. if only religious people didnt ruin it. have you ever read stuff like the Iliad or other mythical books?
>What's tipping culture like where you are?
honestly i have no idea, i've never seen anyone tip waiters whenever i've been at a restaurant here. but alas i dont really go to one often so... i dont count on receiving tips anyway. do people tip waiters in the uk?
>>81679153
cant you go by bike? also why does having a printer matter?
>>81679364
of course anon, drinking water is really important for your health. thats what you meant, right? right?
>>81679885
was rowing really really tiring? i heard that it takes a lot of strength to actually row a boat
>accordion
i love those! are you able to read sheet music?
good luck with the job search also.

Back from iaido. Today was miserable as I had anticipated. I don't remember the last time I had to fake so many smiles. I felt like a pariah, just keeping to myself because everyone there sucks ass, even my teacher. At least I got ... oh wait, I got nothing to do at home either besides being bored, lonely and getting annoyed at my subhuman neighbors for existing over my head. What a great, fulfilling life.

>>81678784
>well i mean, considering he'd made such a fuss about it if i was you i'd take the chance lmao
I just sent him the full amount, but after I did I also texted him saying that there wasn't any hidden motives behind my question earlier.
>im glad you can take it easy in this thread at least!
I do my best, but it's hard for me to take it easy.
>cant you films some dances in the dojo you go to?
Our "dojo" is a school gym hall. And after practice, it gets taken over by basketballfags.

It would really be nice to have a person to wanna come back home to. Am I asking for much? I tried dating apps but those are rigged and shitty. I want a Japanese girl because she would obviously love Japan (well, usually) and understand what I'm about. It's not even about race. I think there's prettier women than Japanese women out there, bu it would be the most "right" choice. Shame there's virtually no Japanese people in my cunt.

>>81645509 (OP)
How am I supposed to take it easy when I'm bleeding money every day?
If I don't have work then I will literally be homeless and starve to death in the street. How the fuck can I possibly be expected to "take it easy" or just "relax" when I'm on a ticking clock until a slow humiliating death. All I need is like $300k and I could relax.

I have all week off work and I just bought a Switch 2 so I could not be more taking it easy

>>81676992
did u manage 2 find any frens from iaido practice?
>>81677179
u will finally have sum moneys!
>>81678861
does he buy it? Does he support the CCP now?
>You'll be alright. Just live in the moment for now.
I need 2 stop being so idle...
>>81679364
what would u drink? Jager jager on the wall...
>>81679885
how long have u been playing accordion anon? Do u like rowing? How long have u been doing that?
>>81680076
that's nice 2 hear! Maybe u will get hired!
>>81680541
i don't have $300 000 either anon
>>81681157
what r u gonna play?
>>81680426
what would u rather do?

>>81681385
>what r u gonna play?
Mario Kart World and maybe a little Smash

>>81679885
Are you a sculler or are you in a 4/8?

>>81680076
>honestly the bible is such an interesting book
I need to sit down and read the thing at some point. Religion is pretty interesting when you're on the outside looking in.
>have you ever read stuff like the Iliad or other mythical books?
I've not. But I should read the Greeks at some point.
>do people tip waiters in the uk?
Yes. No as much as in the US but you can make a nice bonus depending on the place.

>>81680426
>Shame there's virtually no Japanese people in my cunt.
Are there any Japanese bars where you live. That's the only place they hung out in my old city.

>>81680541
Do you have any time between work to take it easy in?

>>81681157
Sounds comfy. What games are you playing on it?

baka review:
baka ate sum burger king 2day
2day he tried the long texas bbq chicken sandwich. The sandwich had a crispy chicken patty with onions and cheese. Baka also got it with the extra mayo, bbq sauce and bacon. Overall it was pretty good and i enjoyed it. Baka rates it a solid 8.5/10

>>81681473
this is the sandwich btw
would recommend

>>81680076
>cant you go by bike? also why does having a printer matter?

I don't have a bike, and having my own prisoner would make it easier to print my resumes and I keep updating my resumes

>>81678784
>no clue who kevin bacon is but i will assume from his name that he invented bacon
I guess you could say so.
>>81681473
>>81681485
That does look bretty good. Would sell my homeland and betray my people for this sandwhich.

>>81681385
>did u manage 2 find any frens from iaido practice?
No lol, they're all grumpy boomers.
>>81681395
>Are there any Japanese bars where you live. That's the only place they hung out in my old city.
Nope, you asked me before actually. There's no such thing around here. It's over for me.

>>81680426
you oughta find something else that keeps out busy during the day anon
>Our "dojo" is a school gym hall
ah, i see. maybe you could ask your teacher to record you though, perhaps if you go there a bit sooner than usual or something. also, have you ever asked your classmates why they practice this dance?
>I tried dating apps but those are rigged and shitty.
yeah those are the worst. i hate them so much, they ruined the entire dating market for everyone. i hope whoever invented them fucking dies in the worst way possible
>Am I asking for much?
in this day and age, sadly, perhaps we're asking too much.
>>81681157
thats nice. have you played any of the zelda games btw? breath of the wild is one of my favourite games ever!
>>81681385
>u will finally have sum moneys!
yeah, hopefully i can put it to good use
>that's nice 2 hear! Maybe u will get hired
im not sure i want to...
>>81681395
>I need to sit down and read the thing at some point
lmk what you think once you do
>But I should read the Greeks at some point.
they are a good read. what about dante's inferno? they made us read some snippets of it in school
>No as much as in the US but you can make a nice bonus depending on the place.
would you work as a waiter?
>>81681473
ive had that burger before too, it was pretty good honestly.
>>81681558
>my own prisoner
you can always go to a shop that prints things yknow

>>81682185
>you can always go to a shop that prints things yknow
OH shit, I really did typed "prisoner"
Anyway, I already do that, there is one next to my house and it's really cheap

>>81682185
>you oughta find something else that keeps out busy during the day anon
It would help if I had a social life, but sadly I don't.
>maybe you could ask your teacher to record you though
If you met my teacher you'd realize this is like expecting pigs to fly.
>have you ever asked your classmates why they practice this dance?
Same thing. They're all grumpy boomers. I'd find another dojo if there were options, but there's literally two iaido teachers in the whole country.
>yeah those are the worst
They really are. I wish I could find someone like minded there, but it's all sluts with pics from their night out, overseas vacations etc. There's nobody with substance on there, and usually those who write a lot about themselves come off as snooty or they're just plain unattractive.

taking it easy after another day of work
finally got to meet my team leader since he usually works in another state, but now he's here on business so we get to do our daily meetings physically

katana zero is real good too, but i'm getting really terrible vibes... especially after dying in chinatown
i also talked to my friend and he'll be coming over next year in july, we'll go see the tanabata in another state, walk around here some, and then go to the wine festival my relatives participate every year
gonna be fun

>>81662899
>luck with quantum fluctuations...
well i'm fucked then, luck was never my strong suit lol

>they require too much commitment.
kind of? i mean nothing says you can't play a little bit everyday, satisfactory in particular is pretty chill (save for the nuclear boars, fuck those) since resource nodes are infinite (you have an extraction rate to limit you but they never run out once tapped)
factorio can be modded to offer a similar experience too, the learning curve on those games may not be very smooth but if you're anything like me, you'll have a blast learning everything

>bad things
like what?
i mean i liked subnautica quite a bit so i'm gonna give this one a try too, why not

>Dangerously addictive...
it's the last of the holy trinity of addiction that i'm yet to try
>factorio, oxygen not included, rimworld

>>81663775
>i sound like a weird AI...
if you can relate to any of the responses, in any way, voice it out
maybe something similar happened to you, maybe it reminded you of something, speak up

>15 euro down the drain though...
more like 15 euro well spent
if the meal was good then it was worth it

>would u get the chicken?
definitely, with the hot sauce it should be pretty good

Lonely days drifting in water

I don't really know what to talk about...
but I hope everyone is doing nicely !

I bought another cosplay, trying to plan for future conventions better desu. My miku one came and it's rather pretty, so I'm excited to be able to wear it sometime.

>>81682658
i am always within reach, and so are a few others, so you don't have to drift in water by yourself

>miku one
i hope you have pigtails to match, really long ones too
also how do you put on those sleeves? do they not fall off?
>another cosplay
who is it now?

im so fucking pissed off holy shit i want to fucking kill someone WHY is everyone such a fucking piece of shit

>>81682901
anon calm down, go drink a glass of water, stare out your window, breathe in and out
everyone is shit but you don't have to kill them over it

lurker chan should check out her email methinks...

>>81681579
do u still have borgar king in russia?
>>81682185
>yeah, hopefully i can put it to good use
what good use will it b?
>im not sure i want to...
Imagine the cosplays u could buy....
>>81682476
lots of things happened 2 me
>if the meal was good then it was worth it
ye it was good
maybe i'll do a review on it soon
>definitely, with the hot sauce it should be pretty good
ye is nise
can u get chicken in ur sushi places?
>>81682901
wuts wrong anon?

>>81682658
what cosplay did u buy?

>>81681395

We did sweep rowing today, which I'm enjoying more then sculling - I'm fairly new, since this is part of my effort to make new friends, so it could be that I'm just getting better with practice.

We were supposed to take an 8 out, but since it was early in the morning, many of the group cancelled.

>>81681385
>does he buy it? Does he support the CCP now?
I think he's just a contrarian and likes to support nations that aren't popular in the UK.
>I need 2 stop being so idle...
Idleness is okay in moderation.

>>81681473
Thank you for the review. I don't think we have Burger King here. Maybe I'll review something from MOS Burger when I order there again.

>>81681734
>There's no such thing around here. It's over for me.
That's a shame. I guess you just have to stick at the internet stuff.

>>81682185
>what about dante's inferno?
I have not. I'm not very well read outside of stuff I need for work.
>they made us read some snippets of it in school
For us it was a few Shakespeare plays and Of Mice and Men by Steinbeck. I read all the dialogue for George in my class. Odd choice of book for a school in the UK but I quite enjoyed it.
>would you work as a waiter?
Probably not. I'm far too clumsy for that.

>>81683998
I hope it goes well for you! I have very fond memories of coxing, especially in the summer once the river started to quiet down. You'll make some friends pretty fast, I'd say. I should take it up again once I get on top of work.
>We were supposed to take an 8 out, but since it was early in the morning, many of the group cancelled
I'm not really sure how I managed waking up so early every day. Definitely the worst part of rowing. What time do you have to get up for it?

uuhm so ive heard aiste was trying to summon me in one of these threads so looky looky what ive found here today

>>81683890
>lots of things happened 2 me
what i mean is that, when someone mentions something, if you can relate to it somehow, or if it reminds you of something, then speak up
bring up your side of the story and things remain fresh, so you're not just quizzing the person
a conversation is all about that back and forth

>maybe i'll do a review on it soon
sure, if you feel like it
i usually just give the restaurants 4 or 5 stars on the food app depending on how good the food was, too lazy to properly review food and shit so that's the max i do, lol

>can u get chicken in ur sushi places?
i don't... think so?
i mean maybe, i never looked for it, but i don't think it'll be something common to find in a japanese restaurant
there are places that specialize in chicken products or other more common/popular kinds of food over here that work with chicken, spicy or otherwise, but yeah
