THAT'S PROPAGANDA

Us: pumping heat into the atmosphere.

Mother earth: oh you guys cold? Don't worry, I got you fam!

Maybe I'm missing something, but that's just an image, not a video

Dick! He's talking about his dick, guys!!

Currently operating on zero sleep due to a jacked up sleep schedule and having an early flight.

Yes.

Honestly that's the only reason I said anything. If would have just been one or two I would have left it alone... But four and otherwise perfect English? Had to be done.

At a glance the Philips screw looks like a sad face. It's like it knows how it makes us all feel

Nah.... The jacked up jelly beans... Like the ones that taste like farts. Use those instead.

Bro forget the cake, you're not getting invited to a family gathering again because you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're.

Edit: he fixed them! Kudos to the other commenter for explaining it! He is better than me

THE NUMBERS MASON! WHAT DO THEY MEAN?!

I'm sure some do. But not everyone does. This helps avoid the confusion.

Genuinely curious on this, so don't take offense when I ask for a source. I'm gonna Google it, too, but it would be helpful for others if it's posted up.

Oh I see it. Yea that's weird.

Doesn't look off so much as all the arrows look like they're biased to the left side of the keys. Unless you mean something else?

Good looking keyboard though!

First time I'm hearing the phrase "games as a service." What does that mean??

Yea. They may belong in a home theater community for the time being?

You should probably get outside more.

Fuck dude.... You just told everyone that we're living in a constant state of desync and the gamer in me doesn't know how to handle that

To piggy back on what that guy is saying... better put... He's talking about becoming a regular. I've done it at more than a few places throughout the years.

I haven't lived in one place for more than 3 years out of the last 25 of my life. Making friends is hard. But one thing I did to help me get out of my funks is to go do something I enjoy. For me it was to find a restaurant I like and go sit at the bar. Don't need to be there to drink, fyi. Just go get some food and be present. Being on your phone is ok, but you'll be more approachable if you're looking up at a TV or something like that, so make it a point to put the phone down every now and again. Often times I found that even if I was on my phone, someone sitting next to me might make a comment about whatever is going on with a game or fight or something that was playing and it would spark a conversation. Doesn't have to be a long one. Remember, we're taking baby steps here. And hell ... You can fake your way through some of those conversations too. About a fight? "Yea man this is a really tough matchup, who do you think takes the win?" It does help to know at least a little about what's going on, but it's not required. Even a simple "I haven't been following along, what happened?" Can keep it going.

Anyways, after showing up more than a few times the servers and bartenders notice and will start talking to you. Asking your name and all that stuff. Conversations from there will go where they go. The great thing is that they are working. There's no pressure to hold an in depth long conversation since they have things to do. It'll start as small talk and eventually get deeper.

Again, this is in baby steps. This won't happen over the course of 2-3 visits. It'll be more than that. But stay for the meal, get one more drink, then leave. Same will be said about a coffee shop.

The key to this working is persistence and patience. And that goes for beating depression as a whole. It's not going to happen over night. It takes work, and it takes time, but eventually you'll get there... Just like you'll eventually become a regular at that coffee shop, restaurant, bar, arcade, pool hall, or whatever place you decide to go.

One foot in front of the other, keep it moving one step at a time, even if those steps are the length of a dime.

As a final note... Try not to talk down about yourself. It creates a feedback loop that can be hard to break and is self-fulfilling. Positive Mental Attitude... PMA. You're worth the effort.

Thought it was pretty obvious they if people are in desperate situations they will resort to taking desperate measures to survive, but I guess not
