sex doesn't exist, sex doesn't exist, never clean, NEVER CLEAN

[scriver]

Apparently as well, some dumbasses released a fucking fan-made DLC for Baldur's Gate II, which was a game released in 2000,

Are you talking about the "Enhanced Edition" games here, and/or the upcoming (or mayhem recently released, I don't know) Siege of Dragonspear DLC/expansion by the said team?

How can I trust politicians, if you cant even believe in Jacky Chan

So, I dropped my sister off at her basketball game like I was asked. She didn't know how she was getting home, so I told her that if mom didn't pick her up she should call me. So she called, and I got her home about 20 minutes later than expected.
So obviously I deserve a lecture about how I'm wasting my life and don't care about anyone and I'm a terrible sibling for abandoning my sister like that and how I made her feel like no one cares about her and I'm terrible for not working hard enough... (Note, my sister was fine with the whole thing. She was a little disappointed with her loss, but she didn't lose by much. She's hoping to do better with a bit more practice.)

Is there some reason you didn't retort with the fact it was her job to pick your sister up and what you did was fix HER mistake?

I accidentally just googled the lyrics to "rockafella skank".
My life.

Sorry, people who I'm not replying to. I don't want to leave a general hug (and in Kal's case it was more of a meaningful-encouragement-hug than I-am-comforting-you-hug.)

Huh. This is one of the few times when Bay12 has actually given me really good problem-appropriate advice that I would not have thought of on my own.

(When I think about "taking alone time," what I usually mean by that isn't nearly so... constructive >_>)

I don't want to read textbooks because I work too much anyway, but I'll work on some creative projects I've been wanting to put some time on.

Well I don't mean mathematical textbooks. I like to pore through art history, the Kama Sutra, and other miscellaneous books on things I don't know.

Feeling like I don't belong anywhere and don't even deserve to belong anywhere again.
 

That little voice reminding me how I should've been banned from here years ago doesn't help either.

Caroline, you barely register on the weird-tween-o-meter, where 1 is a theoretical teenage Tiruin, and 10 is Imperial Guardsman. Even then, you're young and these things are to be expected. Personally, I make it my motto that if I don't cringe at my past self, then that means I haven't improved enough.

One thing that self-conscious people should understand, though, is that when it is said that giving judgments to strangers is unfair, this also applies to oneself. Your past self doesn't have the same experience and knowledge as you. Cut the kid some slack.

[hugrh I tried to give more advice here but they are messes so have hugs instead?]

@Truean:

I'm rooting for you, Truean. You'll get through this.

FAKEEDIT: To be honest, I'm still not sure if I should even talk about this but this post is already a huge mess (probably not that much to you guys since I cut out a lot), but I'm just not Tiruin. I can't emotionally handle all these sads. I'm sorry, I know it's unfair to you people. In the future, I won't let these sads pile up and I'll be more active here.

There is nothing I want to do.
Except maybe listen to music in the garage, but the garage is occupied. Other than that? Nothing.
I don't want to sleep, I don't want to make art, I don't want to play videogames, I don't want to go and hang out with my housemates/their friends in the garage, I don't want to do some sewing I've been meaning to get done for a while, I don't want to read a book, I don't want to go for a midnight walk, I don't want to unpack my suitcases, I don't want to play DF, I don't want to tidy my room, I don't want to get dru- well okay, I probably do want to get drunk, but I have no booze and it's half past twelve.
And even if the liquor store was open, I'm saving my money for Friday.

Maybe I should go to sleep. It's hard to work up the motivation to, though. -_-

You could lie down in bed. It's better than not lying in bed in term of sleeping?

But that's easy for me to say, I would have a hard time getting into bed too in your shoes.

But... that's still the thing you should strive to do.

Well they confirmed that yes, mom does have cancer on her thyroid. Fuckberries.

Some dudes just tried to trick me into making some sort of donation. I didn't realize that was a thing people did. If anyone on the street asks you to sign something, don't do it.

They made it sound like these magazines were already going to be donated, and they just needed to get people to vote on the choices. That sounded suspicious, but they described it as a public speaking thing for college, so I assumed it was some shitty internship. Then they asked for my signature to confirm the votes, which I figure is about as binding as a petition, but as soon as I did that they started talking about billing. I tried to politely inform the guy I'm broke right now, and he tells me I already signed so I can't back out. So I ripped half the receipt out of his hands and walked away as we exchanged some choice words. Not very graceful, but it was my only option left.

Normally I'd assume I misheard something, but my first instinct was that these guys wanted money from me and I was listening for that the entire time because I knew I couldn't spare any. So yeah... that's why I'm going to be more guarded and suspicious when dealing with strangers for a while.

The problem with Civ V and all civ games is, when you start losing, it works like DF. Its a slow process that just gets worse and worse and kills you slowly until there is nothing left. Its a good game, so I suggest you try again.

My own strategy is, regardless of who I play as, I rush to get great library and great lighthouse right away. It helps immensely to get yourself ahead, and it also secures naval dominance. A lot of people get mad at me when I play because I usually wonder rush things, but it keeps me at an advantage I always want

I find the difference is that while DF gives you a chance to lock away those two dwarves and possibly work from below to slowly recover the fortress (which is why I often have a "panic room" with an uninterrupted path for digging down through the rest of the fortress), Civ just grinds you finer and finer until there's nothing left (on account of the game having to have a winner and all that jazz).

Still definitely a fun game, but honestly that's a common problem with many 4X style games, the person that manages to grab the largest chunk of resources at the start of the game is very often the eventual winner, barring them making stupid moves like forgetting to invest in their army.
