How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Finally have a week off work, first vacation this year. Since it's hot af here and I don't like people, what better way to enjoy this week just hanging out in my AC Cooled appartement, watching movies, playing vidya gaems and finish some projects...

Welp 3 days in and my 3080 just shorted out for no reason and managed to damage the PSU in the process. Now I had to Return them for repairs which could take up to a month. Why the fuck couldn't that have happened after?
God damnit.

God damn is it fun to ban assholes. Turnabout is fair play and you niggers always have it coming.
 
Update on job stuff:
They've called me back, not for the same thing I was doing, and not for something permanent, but for a related project that desperately needs help right now. Reportedly, The project managers I used to work with asked for me specifically, so at least I know I'm well retarded regarded and I can expect them to keep me on speed dial for whenever they get in trouble, which I foresee may not be uncommon.

So I'm expecting this will mean at least one more month of work, but hopefully a few.
If nothing else, gives me more wiggle room to prepare for when it really really ends.

Life sucks. That's it. It just sucks and there's nothing I can really do about it. I've applied for 3 day shift positions in the school district I work for and all 3 times I got denied. Why? Because all 3 people have more seniority than I do. All of them have less than 6 months more seniority than me, yet apparently that makes them more qualified. I'm getting tired of working nights. Getting off at 11 pm M-F sucks donkey cock. I guess on the bright side we were able to negotiate a new contract and we all got a significant pay bump. Still, I can't allow myself to give up. My time will come, but god damn is it hard to be patient.

I'm thankful to be getting out of town this weekend, though. After I get off work tomorrow, I'm headed to Noblesville, IN for 4 nights of camping and 3 nights of Phish. Meeting up with my sobriety group buddies and we're gonna have a good time. I've got everything I need. My wife, bless her soul, has put up with my moping around and wants me gone for a few days to reset and recenter. I know she wants to go with me, but she wants what is best for me in the moment. I love that woman so very much.

See ya on the other side, Kiwis. I'll be dancing and jivin' all weekend with all the degenerate wooks in the middle of Indiana if ya need me.

Just met a girl 4chan of all places. She's pretty sweet. No pics but if her weight is what she says it is then she's most likely cute. I'll probably get a girlfriend the second I have a car of my own.

I would rate you optimistic, since you know, 4chan, but honestly, just wish you the best.

Thassaman, baby

But who knows, maybe you'll luck out.

I have an anecdote about that. In the olden days, there was this 4chan-adjacent dating/friending thing called Anonidate. You'd add some info and it would show you other anons nearby, so you could talk, befriend, and maybe date.
I added my info and then forgot it entirely.
Years later, when I was already married, I remembered it and checked, and found that some months before a local supposedly female anon had messaged me. I talked to her, and I told her I was married but that I'd be happy to be friends, and she agreed. Eventually she came to visit us, and it turned out she really was a girl, a quite nice person, and kinda pretty at that. Had I not been married, I would have asked her out, but it wasn't to be.
She was part of our friend circle for a while, and we even went all together to a music festival once.

Unfortunately she turned super lefty-feminist around, ironically, the days of Gamergate, and over time we lost contact.
I hope she's doing well, regardless.

I said this in another thread but I met my husband on 4chan, so it's really not impossible. Good luck!

I'm just wondering like, why? Why would anyone date on 4chan? Maybe 4chan is more normie across the pond but knowing what qualities I expect/enjoy in a engaging talk on 4chan, I sure as shit don't want in a local chick. And that's ignoring the basic fact that women in any gaming related capacity bring destruction. I've had a teamspeak of gay bear-loving homosexual men burn down cause of an ugly overweight lesbian showing up and their pandering switch flipping.

I've been to /soc/ a few times just to check out what european non-yank stuff goes on, and even then it's the usual: Moderately attractive women doing the whole "UwU i'm so fat and ugly and have no friends lmaoo" bait for attention. I mean okay, a terminally online semi-toxic woman might be fun for banter, but that's ignoring the fact she'll be doing this grifting act for any and all spaces she's in and probably have another 20 dudes in her DMs, and that's before joining a dating website. I'm not even pulling on ill-founded sexism; every single woman I've met in an online community, ranging from 'actually one of the bros' to 'she never writes and her gender is actually up for debate but clearly not a troon', they end up warping the space they're in.

Through the years I've matched with a few overweight shy 'classic' nerdy girls as opposed to 'I wanna be a streamer!' types, and while they're fun, ignoring the allure of them being nerdy, it always ends up the same. Gotta double and triple message on top of carrying the conversation to actually pull words from their several chins, and again, these are nice modern working europeans, not some Portland troglodyte. Sure I've had a few good conversations that ended abruptly for no real reason, even going on Discord, but to actively seek out these women rather than happen upon them in a mutual space? Seems alien to me. It comes back to the catch 22 of "You could find me walking in the parking 11am on a saturday, but would I wanna talk to someone else willing to do that? What kind of loser would have so little to do that they'd sit on a park bench?".

Granted, if you people met lovers and partners on 4chan and it's more than 5 years ago, it's practically another world. A world of peer2peer communication, Third Places to be found online and communities with a healthy amount of gatekeeping. I miss that.

I met my husband over 15 years ago on a music-related forum. It's not impossible to find 'the one' hiding in one of the weirder corners of the internet. Good luck, mate.

It's hot... No AC... Sippin' booze...
Kinda bored, I finished Tiny Tina's Wonderland in coop with my long time gaming partner, 3/10 solo, 6/10 coop.
I have a piece of steak I need to cook today before it goes bad, I'll make a stir fry with it.
How am I doing? Idk, things have been pretty much the same for a while. I don't mind the monotonous routine, my lifestyle is quite simple so I don't need much to be happy.

So, I've been thinking a lot about something stupid. Maybe I am too inwardly focused and autistic, because I love people, but it is really hard to be with them. I just feel like life is this really hardy thing, until it isn't and you're trying to hold onto it, and then it's like a minnow in a stream. It's really fragile but also impossible to keep a grip onto. I didn't think the reality of that would make me so sad as an adult. I realize that probably means I lack emotional maturity, which is really the best outcome. I think people can still change beyond 25 or whatever, and maybe that is also emotional immaturity.

I'm still sad about a lot of things. But I think now than ever it's about my negative thoughts about events. I also feel like I need an abnormal amount of rest and I can't take that without falling short. I also feel like a martyr, for which I feel a lot of shame. I don't know how to keep it much more real than that.

Did some good ol' fashioned DIY and work on the car this evening after work. As stated by everyone around me when I was buying my first house, you certainly learn and develop a ton of new skills and experiences, provided you're proactive and not content with living in a shithole.

I'll be belt sanding paint off my wheelie bins tomorrow, then putting on some nice transfers. There's a sentence I never thought I'd be saying even a few months back.
