Caroline: D:

Do you suppose CPS cares about narcissists terrorizing their children?

[Orange Wizard]

Does Honduras even have some kind of CPS?

[TheBiggerFish]

Does Honduras's CPS, if they have one, actually function?

Someone figure this out.

[Cthulhu]

Was just pondering eyearms.

And I realized I'm one of the last people still around that know what those are.

Random little sad: found an old video on my phone that brought out some feels.

Just got kind of a pep talk from one of my friends about the whole crush thing. She said to just be who I truly am (this friend visited me in Brentwood (aka rehab), and she knows a lot about me too. She's probably one of my oldest friends I still talk to, as we met in grade school and have been friends since), and by that alone, I'll be what my mind thinks is "good enough" for her.

And now she wants to meet my crush, to the point she invited her to this party she's having on the 21st... So that's my friend from gradeschool, her boyfriend's sister, and my ex who all want to meet my crush...

These women are going to be the death of me

Random little sad: found an old video on my phone that brought out some feels.

I've kept some old MP3s from a certain semester of high school which I haven't listened to in years, except for a few seconds.  Originally I was just saving them because I had a tendency to listen to songs over and over again until they lost impact.  They were supposed to recharge.  Well, they did, and they're also powerfully linked with a period of time I really can't handle thinking about.

I kinda miss having strong emotions besides "shame" and "smug superiority".  But I guess I'm still afraid, and it's nice never feeling lonely or betrayed anymore.
(divorce and moving a lot sucked)

I think the last thing that made me cry (... four times) was Steins;Gate... The VN, not the anime. I really recommend it.

The last thing that almost made me cry was listening to music from Steins;Gate.

I want to play Dwarf Fortress.

Up until the point where I load up DF, generate a world, and find an embark site and prepare an embark site and embark. Then I lose interest. Because I don't like the terrain of the site, or don't like how I initially planned the fortress but can't go back and undo it because it's been dug, or I just get bored while starting the fort and go do something else.

I want to play Dwarf Fortress but I don't like playing Dwarf Fortress. Catch 22.

I don't think it's that you don't like playing Dwarf Fortress so much as you don't like whatever baggage you have associated with it. I seriously get enjoyment from embarking at some rando location with "play now".

Spehss_

How about a community game? Any of those running? If you aren't going first you don't have a choice about the terrain and shit anyway.

On the one hand, I have been thinking of trying random embarks. On the other hand, I'd think I'd just quit even more abruptly when I find the rng didn't deliver things juuuust right.

Definitely not. Community games are even more responsibility than just playing for fun. By signing up for a turn I gotta record what happens and deliver updates, with the other players depending on me completing my turn (or else suffer disappointment at how I flaked out) and typically the forts become a fustercluck that I just can't stand.


I think the problem is I'm just depressed, so everything's shittier. Was gonna post a thing earlier about "muh sad feels" but flaked out of that.

Unzipped the new DF version. Attempted to generate a world. An hour later it reached 1050, and a couple seconds later, crashed. Siiiiiigh.

Looks like a bit of a high stakes situation, haha.
Do you think they would all be compatible as friends? Why not just let 'em all meet, sit back and watch what happens?
...Wait, this is the Sad thread. Do you not expect them to get along? Seems to me to be more Terrified thread material.


In my own sad, it seems it is time once again for stupid Australians to get all upset over a newspaper cartoon.
IT'S A FUCKING POLITICAL CARTOON IN A NEWSPAPER GODDAMNIT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO OFFEND PEOPLE JUST SUCK IT UP.
I shall wait and see if this one leads to as much of a mindless outcry as the last one I posted about. Man, my country sucks.

[MaximumZero]

my life feels squandered as it is.

Taking time to learn a new skill, join a community, or work on a part of yourself (say, your temper,) isn't squandering your time. Quite the opposite, actually. It's the definition of personal enrichment. Just because you're not using it to make money doesn't mean you're wasting that time. Think of it less as "doing something manly" (some of my fiercest, strongest, most respectable opponents were women, as was one of my kickboxing instructors,) and more as "doing something to better yourself."

Was going to head to a gig tonight despite not having any money (it's free), then got to the train station to discover there were no more trains leaving for 30 minutes. I hadn't left myself enough time to get there without missing the first band, and the first band was one of the two bands I actually wanted to see (out of three)... so yeah, guess I'll save my energy.

Would have been fun.
A lot more fun than sitting around here, listening to the overly-loud voice of my problem housemate echoing from the other side of the house.
