I love this artist, they draw very beautiful youmus. Looking back through this thread, there are a lot of good 2hus, but I've never posted in this thread.

What keeps me going is my friends. I tend to spiral into psychosis from financial pressure, mental illness, and job stress. But my friends will host regular events that snap me back to reality. Small things, like weekly TTRPGs, random movie sessions, VRchat, holiday get-togethers on Independence Day and New Years, and just a general "wanna hang out" every once in a while. I can really say that if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have made it this far. And I do my best to keep them going as well, a lot of them have had tough times. But we stick together, and we're all still here because of it.

Apes are social creatures. And we are apes. So be social, your brain wants to.

I agree wholeheartedly, love how this artist does youmu. I also really like the other artist in this post, who makes really cute youmus and yuyukos.
Also will take the Mexican pizza into consideration. My second job is at a grocery store so I could just easily get some dough there but I'd have to run it by my friends first since they are making Birria

Working for the weekend

I have to admit, my hope for the future is also increasing. Somehow, I'm actually completing my routine-tasks and reaching the point in the routine where I'm applying for jobs. No responses so far, but for the time in my many years of unemployment, I am indeed applying now, so that's good! :)

at the time you meet him he's very mysterious and he basically serves to foreshadow huge parts of v3's ending. he also has this habit of mentioning really spooky things off-handedly and then dismissing them. probably why a lot of people think he'd get along really well with korekiyo shinguji.

>Ah, there is something that kind of bothered me

i'm pretty sure he straight up says this in-game at some point lol

he's also very mild mannered so you just remind me of him a lot.

Give me a truck without any advanced electronics that can effectively haul 10,000kg (at minimum) across 300km. I want no advanced electronics because the more parts, the more points of failure.
And there were trucks like this in the 80s and 90s - the F-350 could tow 10,000kg on a gooseneck trailer, and an F-450 could haul about 20,000kg on the same, all with a simple 7.3L Duramax diesel engine that was very close to being completely electronics-free.

And with alternative fuels and basic tinkering, you could almost eliminate the emissions issue by having it run on peanut oil.

Plus, almost anyone could repair almost any part of the truck with relative ease. The main block and transmission might be beyond the wheelhouse of most, but most anything else could be repaired or replaced using only a basic set of tools.

Now you have these monsters almost twice the size which, while having all the creature comforts you can imagine, are lucky to run half as many km before the first major issue crops up, and after inflation cost two to four times as much.

And repairing them is quickly becoming out of the question with even trivial things - replace the brakes by yourself, and the truck refuses to start up until the work has been authorized by the mothership via an encrypted handshake, requiring a $100,000 piece of software that can only connect to the manufacturer with a $6,000/mo subscription.

That is an absolutely terrible trade-off.

A custom version of a white russian he calls "white girl russian" that uses white chocolate liquor and some other stuff. I'm not a bartender so I wouldn't know how to describe the ingredients but its one of the best drinks I ever had and goes down smoothly. He made the name based off when we were in a bar and some plastered white girl kept asking me for a vape and following me incessantly which we thought was funny and called the event "white girl wasted". My friends and I use that term whenever we are getting drunk and being incredibly stupid.

I went to a bar last night. Had a Negroni. Was good enough to get smashed and talk to a girl through the night. Thought we had a good time and exchanged numbers.
Sadly easy come easy go. She is not interested.

Drinking alcohol and listening to music that makes me want to cry tonight until I black out. World is a fuck.

I only passed out for 2 hours. Damn.

Well, it's been some time since my last cocktail. I've been picking up overtime, so I rarely have the time and energy to make something nice, and usually just end up pouring tequila over ice. But I found the want for it tonight.

The Fringe Weaver is a riff on the whisky highball masquerading as a martini. It hides in a martini stem, it covers itself in citrus twists, and freshens up with a slash of vermouth too tiny for most to detect. But make no mistake, at its core, it's whisky and soda. It has a nice apple aftertaste, but it's really just a perfumed highball. The oranges I used were a bit out of date, so the twists sagged a bit instead of peeking up and out of the glass. So my presentation could definitely use some work. But it was a fine drink, and I'd make again if I ever keep any apple juice in my fridge.

Be positive?

Why is life like this?

>>23853
Have you ever thought about men sexually or romantically?

>>23855
what do you smoke?

What should I do if I feel like someone likes me but I'm not exactly sure? Should I threaten them for messing with me?

>>23951
ask them on a date. if they say no give them some space and then ask if they want to hang out with you and your friends. that way if they arent interested in you then you can reaffirm that you are okay with that and still want them in your life platonicly.

What was wrong with me then? It's been another 5-6 months, and I passed a certification. I also spent another month training for the Network+ certification and I'm going to try beating the test on the 3rd of February. I have pretty low hopes, though. The test itself was really cheap compared to the A+, which was 500 dollars. Only 178 this time. I should probably start setting up a lab to get better on the hands on stuff. Also, I never found that geography site I used, but I did in fact read more political theory. I find my grasp of South America is pretty bad as well as Europe. I still have much to learn. I think I want to read a book a month.

Say what? what's the name of it? I must know!
I know the feeling, I should be learning daoist geomancy but I said I would read geology this time, that or low-level programming.

Studying marine biology in the abyssal zone….

>>22251
Daoist geomancy sounds awesome! How do I get into it?

i dont think im capable of learning anymore tbh. i never get good at anything no matter how hard i try. i think im disabled. trying to learn now just makes me want to kill myself when i make no progress. the few things ive managed to get good at are highly social things and those never last long enough for it to be worth it. skills only valued in social settings are pretty worthless if nobody wants you in social settings.

Triangles ~ how do they work?

Oh π

i experiment with a lot of stuff like ASMR, meditation, nervous-system therapy, hypnosis, astral projection (lol)… i have an uncanny fascination with random niche disciplines and ASMR is just for some reason something that has never done anything for me but i have certainly have tried to give it a shot.

i listen to a lot of lectures…i guess ASMR lectures would be pretty cool

>>23896

im not sure how listening to a wooden stick rub against an old book is "simulating intimacy" unless you're getting over the loss of your librarian ex-wife or something.

i think at best it's simulating the stimuli of reading a really really old book and enhancing it through the power of modern recording devices.

>>23905
i miss her so much

>>23907
i can be her.

>>23905
Okay. You've changed my opinion regarding ASMR. It can be acceptable to engage in. Thank you for implicitly explaining that other post that you referred me too as well as I didn't quite understand what it meant when I had initially read it. I didn't realise that he's not being metaphorical about the stick being dragged across the book.

i find it fascinating how many people respond to the notion as if what is being asked is to never ever be challenged on anything in any way shape or way form

when it's more like "there should exist at least a few spaces where certain issues can be discussed without interference from people who have zero experience or knowledge about those issues but still love to hear themselves talk"

what >>23802 said.

And there's all kinds of gated communities that enforce standards among their members, "safe space" is just code for progressive/agnostic ones. There's plenty of religious or "traditional values" organizations that are the same types of spaces for different groups of people.

>>23802
There are multiple ways to interpret it, you don't decide the only valid way it should be "more like".
The other interpretations aren't wrong just for not being the same as yours.

I got nothing to do rn while waiting, so hear me out
my (un)informed opinion on safe spaces, in a social context, is that they just naturally happen. be it within the comfort of your house with a confident, or at the gym, or at a book club. They kinda just happen and I believe is a normal part of a person's environment. Really they serve as a place to explore things without the fear of stigmas.

Approaching the topic with the assumption that OP heard the following; You likely heard the term used online within a negative connotation. As this thing that "REAL MEN don't need!". To me it sounds like code for "Don't go out of your comfort zone! Don't change your views!". I believe this, because I believe safe spaces are integral in the development of a person. To commit mistakes and properly learn from them without the fear of destroying your reputation. Without safe spaces, a person tries to limit those risks, therefor not changing themselves much. You also become very malleable so that you can comply to the views of whoever imposes themselves onto you. I go so far as to say that the notion that "safe spaces are bad" contributed heavily to the insecurities many are facing now. The people that subscribed to that idea are actively avoiding exploring themselves. Exploration of the self is a very important part to gaining self confidence. The more you know about yourself, and your limits, and reinforce your beliefs thru friendly challenge, the more you steel your identity, which makes you more confident. Knowledge is power, afterall.

That being said, I don't believe one can really avoid a safe space. safe spaces just happens. going out to fish with the homies and shoot the shit. going out with the girls to check out new outfits. going to the club with your fellow fags. sharing opinions on the news with like-minded individuals.
Really the only way to not interact with a safe space is to surround yourself with people you don't trust and/or shut yourself from the unknown and the outside (digital or real).

>>23801
i think this highlights the differences between safe spaces that I think are healthy vs not.

i support and cherish "sanctuary" safe spaces, places that don't exist to pull you away from the world, but rather to give you a moment of reprieve from it. Spaces like this should encourage people to leave and return again when needed, offering support to better face the world when they leave.

The other kind of safe space i think of as "escape" safe spaces. these spaces exist with the exact opposite of sanctuaries, with the mindset of "i dont have to learn how to survive because i will have my safe space to retreat to"
