Yeah, breaking into groups of friends can be a lot of difficulty. :-\ Honestly the best way I've found so far is group work, which everyone groans about, but serves as one of the best setups to introduce yourself to someone else. I don't know if you do this in your particular creative writing class, but if you do any sort of peer critiquing that could also probably be a good time to introduce yourself.

Generally the first break through is the hardest part, but once introductions are done you can interact a bit more. In a worst case you can always just interject on something before/after class and follow it up by introducing yourself. It's one of the absolute most awkward ways to break the wall that way, but once the wall is down you can comment and slowly regain that lost ground.

Yeah both of those are sort of not an option because the teacher is big on letting people keep their writing to themselves if they want... which is fine, obviously, just not for socializing a lot :P

And getting that first break through *is* really hard. If I have to do it the awkward way even moreso, because I don't have something as... urgent? as a crush driving me to do it. It's not that I don't know anybody there, it's just pretty hard to interact with them when the only other dude in the class is really good with girls. I feel like I have basically no space to breathe.

The refrain from this song has been stuck in my brain on repeat for the last couple of hours. Except that, instead of "mama said", the lyrics in my head use "marmoset". It's an adorable WTF, but still.

Marmoset, there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my marmoset

I cut out a chunk of ingrown nail from my big toe yesterday. It came out nice enough, but today it's swelling so hard I can barely walk. And of course, I'm stuck doing the task that requires me to move back and forth across the entire store carrying heavy loads.

Oddly, while that toe hurts like hell after easy clipping, cutting the ingrown nail from the other big toe bled a bunch but doesn't hurt at all today.

Try to keep it clean. Using alcohol and stuff if needed, it'll prob hurt a bit but hey, you don't want that thing to get infected.

It's not a shitpost thread, it's a thread for a program that writes shitposts for you.

Shitposting is not the same as a shit-tier meme.

tfw the phrase "shit-tier meme" describes itself

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Someone tried making a shitpost thread a while back; Toady nuked it immediately.

Steam just sent me a 75% off coupon for a game I already own. Valkyria Chronicles, by the way.
