Hey sushis. I'm 25 years old now. It's amazing how time slips away just like that. More than five years of visiting this little nook of the internet.

These past five years I didn't think I'd transform from a shy bookish student archetype to a rich, lonely single uncle archetype. Unsolicited advice, but if by chance you're in your teenage years or early twenties, don't waste it! And if and when you do, remember to enjoy it :)

Remember to live happily!

Well, this is my first post on this site yay

Today is my 24th birthday, last year and part of this year were difficult for me but now all things are satble.

My family and friends sent me birthday messages, I didn't expect that. My 3 closest friends and the girl I like haven't text me yet, that is a bit sad but whatever.

I wonder how will thigs be next year, but for now, I'll just enjoy the peace I'm feeling in this part of my life.

It's still 10:00 PM where I live so it's still my birthday

My friends all sent me messages, I'm glad for that. And that girl, she sent me a birthday message and then we talked for hours. This was a very good birthday

Good belated birthday wishes to everyone itt! My life hasn't changed much since last year. I'm not doing too well, but I'm afloat, really need some long-term goals.

another year

Crazy how almost every country has invented their own style of pizza

>>>23043
I clean up and make sure to have snacks or food ready for later. Most times we watch anime and wander around in a random Yume Nikki fangame as it's the perfect kind of game to talk over. We usually end up taking edibles or smoking weed lol.

>>23059
Thats gross sushi!!

You gotta have FAITH

>>5616
Nah not really. I do like a lot of christian morals tho

I believe, just do it.

I'm trying to revert back to chan mahayana buddhism like I did as a kid. I also have some pagan beliefs I was raised with but I don't believe in the religion (the association with other people) but I do believe in the god and deities associated with it.

>>5616
I have faith. I'm Catholic.

OP, if you ever return to this thread, I hope things worked out for you. The advice I would give you if I could go back in time to when this thread was new would be to encourage you to bring all issues to God, even doubts.
Believe it or not, even the doubts are planned. You're being tested and purified. Make sure you've got a daily prayer routine, because the Christian life requires supernatural grace. Without prayer, you'll eventually succumb to desolations like doubt and despair and give up the faith.
I strongly recommend Fr. Timothy Gallagher's purple "Rules for Discernment" book. When everybody becomes Christian, I wish they got two books: The Bible, and that purple book. God tests you before you even realise you're being tested. You're hating yourself for being a bad Christian for moments of doubt, but it's all part of the process. You gotta read that purple book! It's the blueprint to walking the spiritual walk.

pretty fan, I guess rolls have similar taste

If you drink tea or coffee daily it can be worth it to get a nice quality cup you really like both ergonomically and aesthetically. Makes a big difference since it's something you use so often.

Replace broken items. Maybe obvious but it really does make a difference. Had a broken ceiling lamp for years now, just bare lightbulbs sticking out. Bought a new one months ago but kept postponing cause I didn't really think it'd matter that much. Sure did now that I installed it. Feels really cozy in here now.

Also just a personal kinda comfy purchase, ordered some pipe tobacco. Gotten much too expensive for me nowadays and I already smoked up most of the stuff I had that I liked so I've just shelved that interest. Came across some on a clearance sale at half the usual price per tin, so I got a few. Figuring I'll save them for the future, open sparingly maybe a few years apart. Also got a cheap pipe with a much smaller bowl than my old ones, to eke out the stash further.

Considering picking up a portable (pocket sized) radio.
On one hand, you can use just about anything for radio these days. Built into your phone, almost all mp3-players have built in radio too. Can stream net-radio when you're at the PC.
On the other, it has a certain feeling to have a separate unit for just that. Purpose built interface, probably better speaker, still have battery left on your phone if you run the radio dry. Doesn't spark the same interaction triggers as a smartphone/computer either, check on websites/apps and so on.

Still very much undecided.

Go a portable CD-walkman for music while walking; it plays mp3s, so it's good!

I just bought a butcher block for my tiny kitchen and its made my life a lot comfier. i actually have space on the counter now!

that's a serious medical condition…

I got dumped yesterday :( here's the journal entry I wrote:

I can't believe he broke up with me. It seemed to come out of nowhere and when he said the reasons it still didn't fully make sense. He said:
*You're too young, we're in different places in life
*You deserve better than to be strung along
*I want to focus on figuring my shit out/career
*It's not your fault, you've been nothing but lovely

Never mind, it does makes sense. It's just hard to accept. This isn't what I wanted at all. I saw a future together. I imagined us at our wedding day with all our cool friends. There was supposed to be a band and a mosh pit after our vows. There are anime we never finished, dates we never went on, dishes I never got to make for him. We were such a good match and I loved him with all my heart. Now what we had is gone instantly.

>>14158
It will get better

Picrel. Imagine getting dates with people you wanted.

I will give you my original donut steel advice.
*It is human nature to seek answers in a time of tragedy. It is a sign of strength to cry out against fate rather than to bow one's head and succumb. Inevitably many will be sad or get mad. But these circumstances are merely the result of a broader context; one which we can influence but not determine. Those more sensible will foster this bitterness into a sense of purpose and further rule their own fate through action and personal achievement.*

>>23095
thats gay

>>23147
Lol I also like the swift, the most tsundre of the hatch backs

IM REALLY SWIFT AND FAST YOU IDIOT!

>>23130
You can make it one day sushi. What do you drive now?

>>23183
Impala LTZ. achievable dream is a dual sport motorbike next year, fate willing…

>>23188
Oh nice. I have always been too scared for a crotch rocket. I'm sure you'll have a blast with it. Do you have any particular makes/modela in mind?

>>23190
From Dream to realistic:
Ducati Scrambler
suzuki dr650
Suzuki DRZ-400
Honda CRF series
Honda 150L
would not be opposed to the honda street bike selection either for the right price…

mi kama sona lon tenpo sike pini tu. taso, mi kepeken e ona lon tenpo mute ala.
I learned two years ago. But, I used it for not very long.
tenpo pi sona mi la, toki mi li pona ala.
When I (first) learned, I didn't speak well.

sina ken toki tawa jan ante lon musi ni?
Can you talk to other people in this game?
ma sama la, sina ken.

jan mute li utala anu seme?
Do many people fight?
ona li utala ala, li pali kulupu e tomo pi sewi mute. tu, ona li lukin e moli ala pi moku ala.
musi ni la, ijo lon li moli e sina, taso sina ken ala moli e ijo.

>>16641
correcting myself
tu, ona li lukin e moli ala pi moku ala.
replace tu with kin la

i though tu meant too/also as well as two for some reason

>>16557
Teach me senseis?! Pony is a comfy lang for a comfy chan. Maybe we’ll all speak it one day?

For all you furries and weirdos

There is a great community of tokipona on VR chat

Where you can learn with others and also practise speaking or associated objects and things etc

>>16557
I guess if you have a lot of free time and enjoy the concept something like Toki Pona can be fun. For me it feels pointless to get into. I don't even really have time for the conlangs I see as better. Poor time management, maybe, or just too many interests and commitments with conlangs falling low on my list of priorities. But if you want an actual community I'd go for Esperanto. Most conlangs attract a lot of naive leftists who can be very annoying for any moderate or non-leftist to talk about world affairs with but Esperanto's community is such that I've found coreligionists and people to just have normal conversations with in the past.
Still, pardon my negative Nancy-ness, I do love conlangs in theory and smiled when I saw this thread!

>away for a few weeks
Give someone your key and ask them to water your plants. Put sticky notes on the pots, so the person knows how much to give. Apply a generous amount of water before leaving. Message the person in charge to remind them of their duty or bring your plant to them. Reward good care with a basket of fruits.

>>22940
very cute

>>22940
wow those are massive leaves
wat kinda plant is it?

>>23106
Brugmansia suaveolens. They can get huge, but they don't like cold winters. Most people around here have them in large pots and bring them in the house in autumn.

Picture is from a few weeks ago, when it flowered.

>>23006
Nah man, just have a beer. Here's one just for you. It will all be okay.

Fruit punch, tonic water, lime, and bacardi
Tastes like jolly ranchers or a slushy when cold.
I feel like this. MmmmmmmmmmmmMm? MmMmmmmMmmmmm?.. M? Mmmnmm? Mmm

Don't think this has been mentioned so far, what kinda temp do you like your beer at?
Myself I'm actually kinda partial to room temp beer. IMO chilled beer is most often to dampen off flavours from bad beer. Bad beer tastes rotten room temp, but good beer you just taste more and fuller flavours than if you have it non chilled. Okay beer is just okay, no real difference, apart from it feeling easier on the stomach to not have a bunch of cold liquid in there.

Also tried some budget Loch Lomond. It does the job fine. Sure it doesn't say Loch Lomond up front, but if you read the back label it says it's produced by the Loch Lomond group or whatever, so it's Loch Lomond to me. High Commissioner they call it. Tastes Loch-ish Lomond-ish, but without the peat influence. At 70% of the cost, alright by me.

Speaking of whisky, another query. Have you ever actually seen anybody use a flask?
I got myself one, and the time I did bring it for a special occasion the person that spotted me using it (and got to share during the night) was very appreciative of seeing one in the wild (Not just for free booze reasons). I've never actually seen one apart from that. Feels like it's a relic of the past.

>>23003
Never heard of that before, sounds interesting from what wikipedia describes.
Sadly don't think I could try to make a homemade one, we don't have pineapple ice cream here really, except for… Words become difficult here. Non-dairy popsicle pineapple outside with regular dairy-based vanilla ice cream inside, on a stick. I guess? Google translate seems to think non-dairy and dairy ice cream is the same though we have different words for them. (pic related)

>won't dox my own city by naming the brewery
Ahh, good point. Didn't cross my mind. I'd have to do the same to name my favourite wheat beer.
Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>23026
I prefer my beer on ice. I don't understand why so many people have an aversion to iced beer. Beer is already mostly water anyways, it's not going to hurt if it gets a little more in it.

Also your picture is commonly known as a "creamsicle" in the US. Orange flavored coating is the most common in the US. There's also the "dreamsicle" if the inside part doesn't have a high enough cream content to legally be called "ice cream".

Whiskey sour and Guinness time, woo! I love getting whiskey sours whenever I go to a new place since every bar does them differently.

Then a Guinness because I didn't feel drunk enough.

>>22976
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III's speech is pretty on topic of whatever you'all are discussing. Highly recommend listening to the song!

ngl i expected wayy worse stories from a homeless shelter, but was it really necessary to not let him in? my guy was just late and then he had to sleep on the streets

Learn to run fast

somebody put a realistic looking rubber snake near the entrance door once and I nearly jumped out of my own skin it was embarassing

A guy at my workplace almost got domed today. Or not exactly at my workplace, it's a bit complicated. The company I work for owns an entire neighborhood, and my workplace is just one of many businesses in that neighborhood. Well, in our private neighborhood is a bank. So we get cash transfer trucks on cash days. Some guy, presumably high out of his mind, walks right up to the truck and starts slowly walking around it, trying to look in through the windows. The cash transfer people were about ready to blow his head off when we intervened, asking him what he was doing. Apparently, he thought the truck driver was hot and wanted to hit on her. Dude literally risked his life to try to hit on an armed security guard. Holotype specimen for the man that thinks with this dick.
