IIRC, you have a thing against older people.

Could be that's influencing you?

[dragdeler]

Yes I guess I am completly shut off of noticing anywhere else and I hyperfocus on the people I'd prefer to ignore the most 100points. I hope you yelled some falsehood while I was explaining to make sure you didn't get it so you can convince yourself it was me.

[Il Palazzo]

Plot twist: the old lady was you all along.

[dragdeler]

That being said I should totally put my biases into action next time I'm convinced somebody didn't listen I clap my hands super loud and yell "WHAT DID I JUST TELL YOU?!"


Then when they manage to retrieve syllabes from their short term memory and reconstrunct it and wanna act all indignated Ill say "good you would have forgotten if I didn't make you do this, now stfu the phone number to complain is on that sign over there"

I do like yelling! Though maybe not quite as much as you do

On the bright side, you didn't voice the desire to murder them this time, you only voiced the wish that someone else had done it by accident. Way to go!

In slight unhappinesses- I let my mom know today that I'm planning to apply for work internationally once the springtime rolls around. I don't know if there's a way to say or do that sort of thing without vaguely crushing someone's spirit when they want family close, even if she knew it was coming. Objectively she'll support it, but not without the barrage of 'no don't leave's that abrade my conscience.

Hey man, live for you. In this world of inter-connectedness you can can still see each other every day

How did the baton of ultimate responsibility get thrust into your hand? Can you relay it on to someone else's eager palms?

I won a stupid election and have a nonzero amount of political savvy. No one else is eager. They know how hard they are to deal with :C

[Eschar]

I miss Naturegirl.

Hm, seems she has indeed not been around the forums recently. IIRC last time she didn't post much it was just because of college stuff, so I wouldn't worry too much.

[dragdeler]

I can't ride with someone else without at least one solid jumpscare every 15km... I'm tired of being a statistacal anormality because apparantly ut's also possible to coast to a high age without a single conscious thought or elevated heartrythm... But what to expect we live in a world where nobody can remap keyboard keys onto VR cobtroller. I am the crazy person, ok, can I be at calm now?

[Rolan7]

I'm a lot less lush than I used to be but, wow, it is concerning that my mom couldn't tell I was drunk recently.  On the phone!

In fact I apparently did the thing I do in text chats where I led her on a meandering storytime, and at the end she apologized for rambling so much.
Drunk-me loves derailing conversations I guess, or is unconsciously really good at it, I don't know!

Particularly ironic since a large part of the conversation was discussing whether a friend of hers has been drunk in my presence, and I had to honestly say I can't tell (over the phone. I can tell by how he stands, naturally).

Edit: For years I've had this reflex of mentioning to people when I'm drunk, and I've been wondering where that came from. I think it's because I quickly realized that people couldn't tell, and I didn't want to be speaking for sober-me in those situations.  Not that I'm absolved of responsibility but like, it might matter I guess.

uncomfortably asking myself in the mirror like:

"is my hair line receding, or has it always plunged that far back?"

[hector13]

Hair clippers mate.

People can’t tell you’re going bald if you’re bald.

[JoshuaFH]

Hair clippers mate.

People can’t tell you’re going bald if you’re bald.

Hairline: *starts receding*
Me: I refuse to negotiate with terrorists. *starts up hair clippers*

[Frumple]

I haven't cut the hair on the top of my head in... over a decade? Not twenty years yet, but it's getting there. I like it long, plus it gives me a low key excuse to wear purple (hair ties).

When it started thinning I just went full fuckit: Nature can do what it wants, I'm just going to brush it out and roll with it. No cutting, no trimming, just tie it up and go. It'd look better with actual maintenance, but I care more about winning the metaphorical game of chicken than I do about appearances, at this point.
