Yup I live between two tourist lakes and there isn't a summer that goes by without an unsurveiled child, handicapped or drunk that drowns.

I mean, are these tourist lakes for recovering alcoholic disabled children?

There's another kind?

The presence of a comma before “and” or “or” in a list, so as to avoid miscommunication.

watch your tone there, friend. we're all very much willing to give you advice while you're in a difficult place - which we're conviced you're in, when you say things like "I have nothing" or "fuck this planet, I can never understand it" - but don't mistake that for unconditional love. A lot of us have been in some pretty shit places in life, and won't take kindly to you lashing out.

Anyway, it's pretty obvious that you're worried about a bit more than having a normal life; you're deeply unhappy, man, and we just want to help you get somewhere where you won't feel like horrific garbage anymore. If you don't really feel like that, well, everybody needs to vent sometimes, and we might have blown this out of proportion a bit. If you do, well...

Multiple times a week my dad tells me I need a job by x week and I need to be out of the house in like a year.  Outside of this house I have nowhere to go.  No one else to lean on, and the housing/rental market is so fucked that I'm never going to afford my own place.  Now I can count the number of times an employer called me back for an interview in my entire life with my own two hands, because its never reached the double digits.  In the last four months I'd just need one finger.  Out of hundred and hundreds of applications.  I am going to die in one year, its literally that simple.  Your advice to that is to just not worry about it and lie about how everything is perfect.  Lie about how I need food to survive.

Now lets pretend instead of getting employment, I'm just rolling a six sided die, numbered one through six.  I've rolled it a million times and its never given me a seven.  Your solution is to roll it another million times, and another million times.  It just didn't roll seven because I didn't believe hard enough that it would.

Fact of the matter is I did basically everything I could do correctly, but ultimately everything else outside of my control rolled up negative so I fail anyway.  That's how life works.

I started listening to old Runescape music on YouTube. That nostalgia hit strait to the heart, oh man.

Oh man, a friend of mine convinced me to actually load up oldschool Runescape about a month ago.  And more recently, to play his character briefly (so he didn't have to stop mining Ogres to eat).

Nostalgia?  There's a reason I'm never playing WoW- this game got such a grip on me, albeit briefly, that I just need to stay away from MMORPGs.
Also nostalgia though, yeah.

I watched a guy go AFK and get killed by a goblin over the course of 30 minutes.

Hordes descended on his like those little dinosaurs from the second Jurassic Park movie. I got his rune helm.

blabla, or ?

I don't know why I was under the impression that was bad writing, I try to avoid them but often find myself stuck with them. I was under the impression that a logical connective is prefered to punctuation. I'll admit they often fit into place next to them and it get's me confused. I wonder tough where I snapped that up, I doubt it's different in german or french tough I'm very unsure.
It's because some people do consider it bad writing, and there are a few elitists who consider the Oxford comma a "common grammatical error". It's gotten a lot more accepted and supported in later years, and "general consensus" is that it's the better way of writing, as it lets you specifically designate breaks rather than having them just be inferred.

I just found out that the first book in a series by one of my favorite childhood authors is getting a movie.


It's the first book in the wrong series, which didn't have the characters I liked so much.

"Let's go to the party with the strippers, JFK and Stalin!"

VS

"Let's go to the party with the strippers, JFK, and Stalin!"

Also, German doesn't use the Oxford comma. Explicitly so, it's warned against in a lot of learner material.
