I second kitchen, being a kitchen porter is great for me, sometimes I just listen to podcasts and chop vegetables for 8 hours then go home. I guess you've gotta find the right place where people won't take the job too seriously, so you probably don't want to work in a really fancy place or a McDonald's where the boss is probably a tyrant

I know that, I'm a nudist, I would be naked all the time if I could! But being naked in a grocery store just isn't gonna end well!

Last night I dreamt that I was coralling Asa and Fami and Death from Chainsaw Man and I got really exasperated because I kept having to explain that you're not allowed to be naked in a grocery shop

Fucking hell. My dad's being harassed by fascists who are claiming he's hiding illegal immigrants in his work, and it got posted online. He didn't know he was being recorded and all the comments are calling him a liar. Fucking scum I hate them

This is like someone trying to write in Disco Elysium's style but having none of the sauce that makes the writing good

I appreciate you reaching out to us even if you think we're insane communists (which is true). That's what solidarity is all about

I had sleep paralysis for the first time ever this morning and it was not fun. I didn't know what was happening, I kept hallucinating that I struggled out of bed looking for help, but I was really weak and couldn't keep my eyes open. Then I would realize I was hallucinating, find myself back in bed and the hallucinations would start again. It went on for ages,.like at least fifteen minutes, and it was really scary. Also at one point I hallucinated that I was in work and about to collapse.

I finally woke up, checked my alarm and then went straight back to sleep

I'm officially one week free of weed! First of all, I want to say a big thank you to @moonlake@hexbear.net for this self improvement thread, which has been something I look forward to every week to track my progress. This has really been a great resource for me and the support has been great.

So a week ago today I threw out my weed, grinder, pipe, lighter, everything. Since then not being high has been very easy, to be honest. I've had a few moments where I thought it would be nice to smoke some weed, but never have I regretted throwing my stuff away. I feel like I have so much more free time now to write and read and draw and spend with my friend. When I was getting high, I would just count all of that time as void, as if it was time I was spending sleeping or commuting. I couldn't be productive at all, all I could do was eat loads and watch House MD.

Other than that, I worked out three times this week, went bouldering with a friend once, and ate pretty healthily all around. I've been at work 5 days this week, chasing that bag, getting money for myself to help my parents if I can. I've been writing my fantasy novel a bit, I'm up to 15,000 words with no intention of stopping and I'm finally figuring out some of the minutae of the plot and map. As of this week I have officially lost 5 whole kilograms which I'm very proud of. Overall I feel this was a very good week for me.

Based. Guess I better fill my car with diesel after work today

My parents were de facto Catholic by merit of living in a Catholic part of Ireland, but neither of them really believed. My dad never went to church, my mom took me when I was young but I think that was just so I wouldn't feel left out of the only community thing outside of school.

I told them I was an atheist when I was 12 and they didn't care at all, mostly used that as an excuse to never have to go to church again. Now it seems bizarre to me when people are religious. I honestly can't understand why you would believe one religion over another other than it being the religion you were raised with.

I went to my grandma's funeral in a Catholic church last year and it was so, so strange. All the praying and kneeling and stuff that I had forgotten about. I read out a prayer and it felt like just reading out a parable or something, not really religious, apart from the end when I had to say "this is the word of the Lord".

 
 

I work in a small bar. Nobody at all has come in yet. It is absolutely lashing it down. I can hear the rain pounding on the roof and the occasional clap of thunder.

comfy I am inside and warm and this is easily the best day of work ever. I love storms so much

 

I visited Valencia a couple months ago and this park is so beautiful. The entire thing is built into a dried-out riverbed, so the trees have the space to grow up to and above street level.

Valencia is a beautiful city in general, so much greenery, but this park in particular stood out to me as a great integration of urbanism and nature.

 

Mambo No.6 is expected to include returning characters Angela, Pamela, Sandra, Monica, Erica, Tina, Mary, and Jessica. Sandra and Rita are presumed not to return, due to their characters' deaths in Mambo No.5. Fans have speculated that Mambo No.6 may include Samantha, who was teased in the post-credits scene in No.5.

 

I'm posting in c/movies but including tv shows, anime, comics, manga, etc.

Personally I think the final war rig sequence in Mad Max: Fury Road is the most impressive live-action fight I've ever seen. The practical effects and choreographing are incredible and the fight keeps moving along by having the stakes raised and characters dying, it doesn't meander.

In animation it's harder to say. Attack on Titan had a lot of really well animated action (it used be so good, goddammit). The battle in Shiganshina in season 3 is the best, the narrative weight is so strong, the characters all have really good moments, the stakes are really high and the production is incredible, animation, soundtrack, sound design, voice acting etc.

Mob Psycho has the most consistently incredible animation of anything I've ever seen, I think the group fight against the teleporting psychic in season 2 is my personal favourite, even if it's not the flashiest, it's really well directed and just such a cool fight, even though it's not that long.

The ChainsawMan manga has a lot of good fights, the Falling Devil arc is like my favourite arc of anything ever, but that's mainly because of the characters. The art is stunning, Fujimoto at his absolute peak, but the action is pretty straightforward. I mainly love it because it's Asa at her best as a character, and Asa is my favourite character of anything ever.

Wow it was way easier for me to choose a live action sequence than animated. Honestly there's so much lazy action in superhero slop that Mad Max stands out so, so much.

 

It feels like such a weight off of my back to have a real, solid report, from a medical professional, telling me that I have ADHD. I had a standard neurodivergent burnout experience, where I was good in primary school but in secondary school as a teenager, found that I was not achieving my potential. I always felt like I should have been doing better than I was. But it was so hard for me to bring my attention to things I didn't care about. Grades and attendance started slipping and I made sloppy mistakes.

Things only got worse once I moved out for college. Now I had no one to remind to empty bins and clean my room, to provide a consistent schedule like my parents had. I was procrastinating on assignments, even ones I wanted to do, until the last possible second - I remember turning in an assignment literally less than 10 seconds before the deadline. Sitting down and writing an essay was a Herculean task in my head, and instead of addressing it, I would avoid it. I would lie on my bed or go to the gym or talk with my friends, because it physically felt like I couldn't start a new task. And the more important they were, the less I wanted to do them. I told myself that I was just bad at being an adult, I lacked discipline and was facing the consequences of my laziness. But I was never able to change anything about it.

Now I know, for sure, why I'm like this, and how to change. I also know that I'm just lazy, my brain just kinda sucks and is not built for the kind of work that I have to do. I know that I can get treatment and that there are other people like me. Its such a relief.

 

Of course, they can't say "war criminal Donald Trump" because that would then invite people to call Biden a war criminal too

Like from what I understand you're not allowed to touch the workers because then it becomes prostitution. So like. A bunch of boys just get together and sit down to watch some girls dancing naked? And they just kinda grin at each other and say "hey isn't it awesome when there's boobs?"

You can't jerk off so they just go to get boners with their buddies? You can do that at home. You can just watch porn with the fellas or have a circlejerk.

I've never understood why it's seen as a straight masculine thing to go to a place where the only thing you can do is get horny with other men.

 

The conversation in question:

"Hi, you must be Neslon! I can't believe you're finally here! I'm Bloom, your future teammate in the Resistance, by the way. I figured out we could spend some time together to check if we have a compatible vibe. You know, to build our dynamic duo. How does that sound to you?"

lmao love to build a dynamic duo in the "resistance" by just hanging out.

Why did Ubisoft think this was so good that they had to share it

 

And that's not a joke. I actually can't think of any single assignment I've had in college that I haven't submitted the day it was due because I was procrastinating (I probably have ADHD but diagnosis is expensive).

But I started my research for this three days ago, wrote up half of the essay yesterday, and finished it today. I sat down and read 25 pages of an academic text in one sitting, which was honestly a big achievement for me - it only took half an hour, but I really struggle to stay focused on that kind of thing. It's due tomorrow at 10pm, and I submitted it at like 8pm today. That's one thing I don't have to worry about now.

I've submitted assignments literal seconds before the they were due in the past, so this feels like progress to me.
