Only if the roommate is a robot.

>>386245
>>386247
Aren't all roommates secretly robots anyway?

Desert Bus for Hope has opened it's donations acceptance early, for people who can't wait until the 16th to start donating. The actual playing of Desert Bus will begin at 10AM on November 16th, along with a couple different auctions and the beginning of the multi-day insanity that always results when you get so many of the Loading Ready Run crew and their friends together in the same place and on camera.

http://desertbus.org/

And no, I'm not part of the LRR crew, but I am a fan of what they do, and I figured if anybody needed a heads-up that they can donate early, I'd post it here. I like giving to charities (I've already donated one big bag of knitted hats and scarves of various sizes that I've made myself to my local homeless shelter, and I'm working on filling up bag #2 right now), and Child's Play is a good cause.

>>386244
What's the metal to plastic ratio? Boiling's usually a good choice, but you don't want to get sick from rust.

>>386257
Hmmmm, I see a spring. So it's 99.9% plastic to .1% metal.
It's a real eco-friendly robot come to think of it.
As for boiling....I don't know. I mean that's a sure fire way to kill off all those Nanites, but you loose that great robot flavor. I could blossom the head.
I'll have to think carefully about this.

I'm just going to say it (here, because if I did on FB I'd be creamed): I don't give a shit about Veteran's Day. And I'm technically a veteran (I've not seen combat, though, so I don't like to use the term to refer to myself.)

It's a masturbatory holiday, where people go to events to show they "support the troops" or businesses give veterans free meals in order to get money off of the rest of their family or discounts that still leave a profit margin on average. It's feel good bullshit where politicians parade around wearing the largest American flag lapel--likely bought by some company lobbying them--and giving speeches about the good our soldiers do fighting for our freedoms.

But those standing in front of the flag in their three-pieces don't care. Few of them do.

If any of them did care:
-VA wouldn't have a horrific backlog of claims
-VA hospitals wouldn't have so many problems
-Private business owners/educators would put more effort into hiring/training soldiers retiring from duty
-Congress would give up some of their over-priced and unnecessary pet projects (F-35) and use their funding to instead improve the lives of veterans and increase the pay of active-duty soldiers
-The citizens that go to those events would volunteer their services, when possible, to returning soldiers and/or donate their used goods to the VA charities

Fuck Veteran's Day. For me, it only serves as a reminder to how much bullshit people spew but don't back up.

>>386267
Just man up and eat it raw. The plastic practically cooks itself if you bend it enough.

i cant wait until the generation of old farts holding this city back die off

we cant touch the parks surrounding the downtown area which are deserted almost all year and nothing but dustbowls in summer because that would be encroaching on MUH PARKLANDZ

we cant fix one of the cities most notrious intersections because it would mean cutting down some trees and expanding it into MUH PARKLANDZ

My first day of work has pretty much consisted entirely people mumbling instructions at me, then telling me I'm doing it wrong.

Makes me even more glad that I'm only temporary Christmas staff.

>>386267
Make it a slow boil. Medium at highest. Remove the spring after twenty minutes. The plastic will leech the flavour out of the spring without the risk of rusting. I'd say...twenty, twenty-five minutes?

Oh jeez I'm getting into 40k

I never thought it'd happen but here I am

>>386284
That's cool, I guess. Enjoy your stay. Try to stay away from the money blackhole that is the wargame.

I have.
They where using a console which doesn't prompt you to choose.

Tooth. Come to Texas. We'll go on adventures in the east of Texas....or just go to Louisiana and gamble at the boats and find those duck dynasty people.

>>386389
I don't gamble but I would like to see Texas and Louisiana.

>>386391
>but I would like to see Texas

spoiler alert there is literally nothing in texas or any other midwestern state

nothing except prairie madness

Even cities like Dallas have nobody in them during the weekends, at least while I was visiting

Back to seriously considering suicide again.

That was a good run of six or so months, I guess.

>>386394
Son, if I was looking for the scenery I would stay in Scotland. I'm looking for cheap drink, good food, and a few folk I know.

though i won't lie, when i was driving through nevada/the mojave/that general area, i did find the wide open spaces really unsettling like i was going to fall up into the sky at any moment. i've never been able to see so far in my life, it's not natural.

>>386391
>but I would like to see Louisiana
Louisiana is nothing but casinos, swamps, desolation, and porn shops, which isn't as interesting as it sounds. 1/10, would not recommend unless it's Mardi Gras.
Then 9/10, can't take a step without tripping into boobies.

>>386400

The opposite always hits me when I'm in Europe. The sky feels small, and low, like I'm trapped in a goldfish bowl, and every line of sight ends in buildings. Who shrunk your sky?

>>386394
Mindwipe, you are thinking of West Texas. East Texas has trees. The rest of your statement holds up.

>>386401
You, sir, are forgetting the Duck Dynasty show that takes place in Monroe, Louisiana. They just built a restaurant that serves duck.
Also,
>>386400
Then never go to Kansas. EVER. It's just flat farm land, open road, and sky. Though there is a barbed-wire museum there that I like.

>>386399
>I'm looking for cheap drink:
Got that
>good food:
Sure
>and a few folk I know:
Well, I kinda know you so I'll say sure to that as well.

Or...road trip to Gatorland!

>>386391
Oooh yeah, Texas would be great.
They're making a connecting train line from Oklahoma to Monterrey so yay

wait

no dont come to monterrey

ever

oh god someone get me out of here

why is everything christ hardwick is in painfully unfunny?

>>386406
Oops, forgot to put my name on that post.

>>386412
He is in fact a monster. As a rule monsters are not funny. Except to other monsters on occasion.

god everytime my brother comes back something comes to light that makes me feel just a little more inadequate.

God why do I hate my fucking life so much? And if I do, why do I have so much trouble changing it?

>>386415
You have to find a way to break out of your comfort zone. To train diligence. Find someone who has the negative aspects about yourself and realize how much you don't want to be them.

Today, I went on my first date in 6 years. All in all, I think it went well.

On the negative side, I have to work in a chain retail outlet over pretty much the entire weekend. Also, I'll be in charge of the entire department I'm working in, as the person who is supposed to be training me is doing less hours than me this week.

Did I mention this is my first week on the job?

I work in a dining hall in a nursing home. We are hideously short-staffed.
There are supposed to be two to three people working every night, but for the past several months I've been working the floor alone. I've talked to the higher ups, but they can't find other people to hire, and they won't pay me more despite my consistently doing the work of two to three people every day.
I'm exhausted, and in the process of looking for other jobs.
Some of the old folks are sweet though, and they give me candy. I don't like candy, but it's nice to feel appreciated.

jesus i forgot how fucking sad you guys make me feel

It's sad because people aren't dressing up, getting in shape, and posting selfies.

>>386429
That's what my tumblr is for.

>>386428
Yeah, love you too.

unironically tho

i fucken love you people

god i miss internet hanging out with my internet friends aaaaaaaaugh

this suuuuuuuuucks
D:

So the guy who made CoC is having a 24h DnD marathon to raise money for his transgender friend to get boobs. Supposed to be the last step for said friend.
Normally, I wouldn't mention something like this here, but I guess I just got a case of the warm fuzzes when I read Fenoxo post about it. I should go to the doctor. So check out their live DnD game that's going on if you want maybe.

Spoilering the site it just be safe.
http://fenoxo.com/twitchnd/

They are about half at what they need.

>>386443
Should have mentioned that it's a fetish laced DnD game. Not really safe for work.
But really, if you know what CoC means, then you should have kinda expected it.

i turned 21 a while back but if anything i'm turning even more into a stay-at-home type, except now i don't even have the desire to go out

i made two friends with people (outside of the roommate group, i don't know how i did it) and it's very surprising because they want to hang out and whoa, what? how do these young people have so much energy? don't they have hangovers and headaches and jobs? you can't make friends with people, even if they're very nice, if all they want to do is what you don't want to do.

>>386447
ooh i know this one

its pent up energy
from calorie filled lunches and lack of direct sunlight

like me for example, i just feel like either running or puking or crying or yelling all the time.
usually that was all solved playing rugby

god i miss playing rugby
i fucking loved playing rugby

>End of 2013
>Still making retarded jabs at fruitcake for your holiday cooking articles

Do that many people eat fruitcake during the holidays, or at any point in time at all?

>>386472
I love fruitcake, it's fantastic.

I love you and I want nothing more than for you to love me back.

>>386481
Here, use this. They'll be chopped BBQ brisket in your hands if you use this.

Can we stop thin fonts before it becomes a major thing for the decade?

heh now I'm in a sticky situation. I almost typed it out, but then quickly realized how fucking it would be to post it here.

>Man, working retail for the whole weekend sure is exhausting! I don't even have time to check facebook!
>Oh well, seeing as it's Monday, and it's my day off, I guess I've got time to check what everyone's written on facebook!

And that's how I found out that one of my roleplaying buddies died a few weeks ago. I don't even know if my employers will give me time off to go to the funeral...

>>386494
They seriously better.

>>386495
Thing is, I'm on a Christmas contract, which means no time off. I'm already working the maximum number of days, so it's possible they just won't ask me to come in on the day of the funeral.

I ain't got a lot going on in my life rn so I get hype about dumb clothes.

>>386510
Cute! :3

>>386510
Always a sap for good contrast.

i'm crossing too many streams and running out of safe places to post but
omg
cute girls again
they're everywhere
and they like me
and i'm
...
single

MWAHAHAHAHAHA

i forget that it only takes me at most a few weeks down time before i can find interested and interesting people...
also friends. friends are important. never forget how important friends are. friends are like air. friends lift us up where we belong. all we need are friends.
wait.

whatever.

sup. i'm posting here because it's a safe place.

>>386481
uhh...

hi. hi anon. uhh... hi?

How do you help the depressed online?
Occasionally someone I'm following will pour their damn heard out in distress and shame and I have no idea what to say that might not make everything worse. Everything I've learned about depression seems like any words of encouragement would just seem condescending. But I don't want them to feel alone in their distress.

>>386521
tell them exactly that. tell them that even if you can't change anything for them, they aren't alone if they don't want to be. not right then, while you're present to them.

and then it's up to them how they want to respond.

i'm always told that you can't save people, you can only love them.

i don't know how true that is, but i haven't found any situations where i've saved someone. i've had people tell me they have but in the end all i did was watch them save themselves.

So I'm back from trying to join the French Foreign Legion. They haven't denied me yet, but I need the results of a medical treatment I took when I was a kid.

So guess who lost his accident cherry yesterday.

>>386529
real bad?

>>386531
Rear ended a dude and immediately got rear ended after. Airbags went off on the second hit. Truck is still driveable but the airbags set the horns off every time I move the wheel too much. Insurance is going to be seven hundred dollars. So, nuts.

Also truck nightmares last night.

>>386534
Ouch, been in but never the driver in one. First time going back behind the wheel in a long time myself. I lived near campus so it wasn't really necessary so I've not driven in years.

>>386420 here.
My work is apparently willing to give me a fifty cent bonus for each shift I work alone (which is every day).
Would this be considered a reasonable amount?
Regardless, it's not really going to give me an incentive to stay with them, as fifty cents isn't worth the back pain of doing twice the work I'm getting paid for.

Angry. Staying at mom's again. New job hunt. Dad's Birthday but he's a Jehovah's Witness, so calling him tomorrow. Secret Santa is hard with strangers. Eating corn.

>>386539
It's good to vent sometimes. That's pretty much why this thread exists.

Also, if you're not happy with your job, no amount of money is going to make it better. Look out for something you like to do while still in your old job. You'll be much happier in the end.

>>386548
Popcorn?

The worst part about being a woman IMO is that sometimes I feel very irrational the week before my period and I'm not sure if I'm upset at someone because I actually 100% feel that way or because I'm PMSing hard and my brain is exaggerating it.

Today, as I sit very angry at someone for an objectively small offense like not answering a text, I suspect it's the latter. I just need to relax a bit, I think.

>>386561
There's also the excruciating painful child birthing.

>>386561
It's hard to know what peoples' texting habits really are but if it's a text I would chill over it

>>386394
Texas is a big place dude.
This is what I see when I drive to work in Austin.

>>386565
How is the coastal areas? I'm planning on heading to Texas once I get things fixed up around here.

i havent had my car for over a week while it gets fixed and i am getting really sick of having to ride my bike everywere

>>386566
Not terribly gorgeous, but it's alright. Lots of marshes and sandy areas. Houston, of course.

>>386570
sounds a bit better than the hilly farmland I've got to deal with now.

And yet another broken hard drive. I have the worst fucking luck with these fucking pieces of shit. Shit's fucking annyoing.

>>386566
From a personal perspective, better than East coast, worse than West coast.

>>386563
Isn't that because lying on your back is the absolute worst way to give birth? Like, the way it's supposed to be done is with her squatting?

my basic desires have been boiled down to a very simplistic state for the past couple of weeks
when I ask myself what I want to do, it is usually 1 of 4 things
>eat
>smooch
>bang
>play skyrim
but i don't have anyone to smooch or bang, it's tragic
someone smooch and/or bang me, we can eat and play skyrim together afterwards

>>386588
While I imagine that shoving a bowling ball out of your vagina is likely a large source of the pain, from what I know you're correct. My mom is a doula (sorta like a midwife, but more emotional than physical support) so I've learned more than I would care to know about pregnancy and birth (and this is likely why I have a pregnancy fetish.) Squatting is preferred, but something my mom would often suggest is actually birth in a hot tub (of sorts; the water is kept warm but not nearly as hot as a regular hot tub.)

The baby is born underwater, but because of the umbilical cord it doesn't drown (not that it's just left to float in there for long.) And the change in environment is easier as the water acts as a transition, of sorts.

I think I was born in one of those bath things. My mum used to joke that's why I was such a strong swimmer but I was never sure if she was serious about it.

>>386591
No ports for either of those activities sadly. And the loneliness has been hitting hard on me lately. So alone. Though its started to give me a drive to..well drive for one something I've not done in years for a variety of reasons. Hope I can find someone as well.

oh what to dooo

when you're bluueee

>flirt with girl i like a lot
>"ha ha i'm really unattractive i wish people liked me"
>flat out say i like her
>"no you don't, people only jokingly hit on me"
>flat out tell her i'm not joking
>"I WISH PEOPLE WOULDN'T JOKE FLIRT WITH ME BCUZ IT MAKES ME FEEL SAD"

i know she's not milking for attention, and i don't expect her to reciprocate my feelings, but goddamn it's a lil frustrating.

>>386602
awww something like that would cause me to give hugz.

>>386602
Yeah, thats what a lack of confidence does to ya.

Honestly I just can't actually bring myself to believe anyone who ever tells me they like my art.
They're like
"oh hey cool pic"
and me I'm
"hahah. look youre nice but man you don't have to lie or anything."

Its just
I
no.
Why would anyone ever like my art. No.

>>386603
I would like to give her hugs, I think she needs them. She certainly deserves them. She's not in a great place.

>>386604
Your art is pretty cute tho Freeg, you've came on well since you started.

>>386605
...

....sigh, sorry.
still happening.

>>386606
haha you're right on the money this time nerd the next time i see your art i'm going to give both of you a wedgie

>>386607
'-' b

>>386588
I'm sure plopping out a 5 to 10 pound object via your uterus hurts like shit regardless of how you're positioned while it happens.

I wouldn't know though, cause well...penis.

>>386605
then do it, comfort her in some manner so she doesn't feel alone. Thing keeping me from going to a bad place is my classes from my psychology minor, and lack of things to exacerbate the condition I'm in right now. Have a good cry with her or something.

>distant family member sends me an email indicating wholehearted support of my gender identity, and inviting me to come visit some time

Maybe things aren't as shitty as I thought.

>>386612
she lives in indiana and vehemently resists like 99% of my comfort attempts. i just want to be good to someone, man. i have ~so much love to give~.
