  • You don't think there's a market for gay guys? The backbone and indeed front bone of tinder?

  • I wish I could tell if this was fake. But I've worked in retail before

  • Well, speaking as a chronically homeless person, it's been stupid for five years.

    It barely even says anything different. It's like switching out "starving masses" with "unfed persons," and I hope it does something for someone because it's not doing it for me

  • Can't really offer you a depiction of muscle pain, but I was so confused by the last one I had to share it around. If the vet appointment I'd had that day hadn't been forcibly canceled, people would have thought I was being beat.

    Like the other commenter said, I assure you, you are definitely going to enjoy the rest of your 30s

  • The mystery cut in the middle of my forehead has healed. My left shoulder seems to be in working order again. Before that it was the right one, which lingered for 2 days and did so loudly enough to dampen my mood for both of them.

    Before that, I was bewildered to find the uncomfortably visible marks of a random handprint halfway up my forearm, and even more confused to see that the whole thing lined up perfectly with the fingers of my other hand. I had been gripping my own arm in my sleep hard enough to leave bruises.

    Kind of excited to see what the next sleep injury is going to be.

  • Nailed it. Feels weird to call him delightful, considering the subject of that one, but I totally needed three more channels to subscribe to last night

  • The last video any guy shared with me was about a dude from the early 1900s who got trapped in a cave and died. It was unexpectedly riveting.

    I haven't considered how I could turn that against them, but I do feel resourceful and I'm not as afraid of holes as I should be

  • It's not her bowl. She just turned into a bitch.

    Ohhh man. This had me cackling. I mean, I feel bad for you, but it does speak to me in my soul.

    The one I have now won't even eat off a plate unless it's wet food, where I'm guessing she's too excited to care about the peasant presentation.

    I found out about the whisker thing and handed her fresh kibble that way just to see, and she wouldn't even touch it til I put it in her bowl for her.

    It HAS to be in a bowl and it HAS to be full to overflowing, and she'd better not see any goddamn silver or she'll beat me with a coat hanger. And then the bottom goes stale because her whiskers.

  • Yearn

  • One of the few times it's probably better not to have alt text...

  • Not much stopping you from hunting and gathering, though. There's some reason you haven't, and a lot of the unhappiness that would just be part of life for someone raised that way would still be unhappiness. They'd just accept it as unchanging.

    That and, what was that one woman that tried to go off the grid earlier this year with her son, and the whole family died in a couple months when the winter hit? Shit's not easy, and if you fuck up, you've done fucked up in a way that's quite possibly permanent. Even the thing that got Chris McCandless was theorized to have been just eating the wrong seeds. He starved because he inadvertently paralyzed himself and couldn't hunt.

    I don't enjoy tons of things about today's society, but I haven't forgotten how fun it is to scrounge and come up empty. I was about to say I'd definitely take the implied social belonging of a small tribe, but even that's not guaranteed. I'm gonna stick close to whatever shit semblance of a safety net I have.

  • hasn’t talked to me since Monday.

    I would normally interpret "we're not friends" to be joking, but not if it lasts more than a couple minutes. If real, it is the end of the 4th day for OP, going on into the 5th.

    Whatever happened, it wasn't something good. Offering someone money to like you probably won't improve one's social standing. Not to say almost a week of the silent treatment bodes well for problem solving, either.

    Without knowing the full story, @cRaziman, maybe the two of you should at least think over seeing someone? A lot of couples see it as a last resort, so they end up waiting til there's basically nothing to save before trying to do something about it. This is...a concern.

  • Imagine half your backyard being in another country. Do you think they still mow it?

  • Fair deal. Not everyone has the gas money to bother with a car. Measuring things is free.

  • How did I forget about that cloak!? I got that before reloading because I kept failing my attempts to steal all my money back. I didn't expect all of those to be so addictive. I loved it.

    My personal favorite was the boots that grant their wearer misty step for the tradeoff of leaving all your other clothes in a pile at your starting point. Still kinda sad I couldn't snag those again.

  • Up til now, we've had:

    • The sudden realization that you can bathe and don't have to crunch around in weeks of dried gore

    • The further realization that at least one npc mentions you stink and should probably do something about that

    • Standing relatively close to a waterfall for a few minutes if you can find one, or perhaps walking at a normal pace through a really deep puddle.

    • Sophisticated method — stealing a water bottle, throwing it really hard at the floor, and hoping the splashback is enough

    After months of steady work, we can use the soap now, but you're going to have to give your fellow gamers a minute to get used to things before you start making other suggestions

  • Oh, I'm sure at least one of us will be packing
