The Flood / Re: How have you changed since Sep7 began?

Sorry for a long rant, I just haven't been posting here for some time and I decided to give some update. I don't think that I changed much for the past few years. I think that environment I'm in changed and currently things on my mind are my job and how to change it, my parents and my friends. On one hand I tend to be quite a workaholic, quite "straight to the point" man once I get annoyed by something and on the other hand my interest in system administration is high enough to spend a lot of time on it, so hopefully I work this future job opportunity out.
hey, sent you a PM regarding work.

Good to see that this place is still alive.

For me personally, things have changed quite a bit. To summarize:

- Graduated and got my degrees in law.

- Started a career in academia as a legal scholar and researcher. Worked on a bunch of international / European development projects on AI while doing the typical academic stuff like publishing articles and whatnot.

- Started my PhD last year.

- Managed to make something out of my Twitch channel. Got partnered and connected with Bethesda, so I've gotten hired as an analyst and caster for their esports events.

- Got married to my girlfriend of 6 years.

- After renting a place for the past few years, I just bought a house (signed the contract for now, will be able to move into it in a few months).

- Wife and I are expecting our first baby later this year. :)

Wow, good news all around! Congratulations!

I really want Vebatim to post ITT.

I've seen people I knew die before their time due to car accidents or OD's. The latter especially pissed me off.

Spoiler
Her father came back home one day (he was a marine sailor and would go away for months sometimes) to find out that his daughter (age four) was dumped in a foster home and the mother fucked off to another country. They were not married.

He spent about a year getting custody rights from the state. As you can imagine, being a single father who leaves home for months at a time would have problems proving he is capable of caring for a child.

Eventually they agree to let him get his own daughter back but regular visits were required.
He got a different job, so he could spend the required time at home and also got a babysitter.

Fast forward a few years, the girl is sixteen and her cunt friends start playing with drugs, she very quickly deteriorates and ODs not long after.

What an absolute waste of life. I can't even imagine what the father must have felt.

^ The point I'm making above is that someone out there put effort into your life. Someone out there cares. Do you really want to shit on them like that by offing yourself?

I often think about what it would be like if some of the people who died prematurely - would still be around today.

Unless you really feel like you have 100%-ed life, you have a reason to keep living another day. Or if you feel like there is no reason to keep going anymore, you know how empty it feels - make it your mission to make sure the people around you never feel like that.
lmao this is so insensitive

The father didn't own his daughter's life, and she owed him nothing. It's her life, that she was monstrously forced into by her cruel parents. I don't care how much unasked-for "work" someone puts into their friend or child's life, that doesn't give them a stake in it.

As for OP, don't kill yourself. There are so many beautiful, amazing things in this world. Invincible season 1 just came out ffs
I concluded with the wrong point with that whole story. I have to again highlight - she OD'd by accident and did not intend to kill herself that day.

What I wanted to actually say is that life almost screwed her over but her dad got her out and raised her, so she had the opportunity to live just fine but it was wasted instead. She's not a retard for dying by accident, she's a retard for playing with drugs.
This is why I feel sorry for the father, he did everything we would expect from a parent, he actually wanted a good life for her.

Okay but that's kind of bullshit if that situation doesn't apply to you. What about people who are kicked out and disowned by their family? What if all of someone's family died? What if they assaulted/abused you? Not that I'm saying that someone in that situation should OD, but rather that notion of importance over effort of the people who gave the effort if they don't want anything to do with you anymore or if they're all just dead.
I have to add that she OD'd by accident and had no intention of going out.

In cases where you were abused or disowned, you should keep going just out of spite, to piss off those who wronged you. They would probably be delighted if you end up in a hole somewhere, forgotten. Fuck 'em, keep on living.

In case everyone who cared about you died, idk.

I guess it all comes down to - what is the meaning of your life? If you don't know yet, then make it a goal to find that meaning for yourself.

If you really do not know what to do, make yourself at least useful for others or your country.
Enlist in the army, volunteer in homeless shelters / soup kitchens, hospitals, language schools.

If you cannot build your own life, help someone else with theirs.
So do it for the people who put effort into your existence, or do it to spite them is what you're saying. Just to be crystal clear- not suicidal myself and I haven't been for a long as time at this point, but just felt like making the distinction where 'people who brought you into the world care about you' just doesn't apply.

I more or less agree though, persisting to spite people has long been a personal motivator. Volunteering a fuckton for a sense of purpose was also something I did for quite a few years. I think it's an extremely positive outlet for such a situation.
Yeah parents can be the worst people you ever meet in life sometimes.

Random rambling in the spoiler.

The timing of this thread is very interesting. My mom just brought all of my stuff into my house (yeah, actually managed to buy a house last year) anyway, there was a lot of stuff from school and uni and a bunch of old photos and BD cards from friends and a bunch of valentine cards from my ex and some other stuff from my past. So much stuff happened yet I feel like I just graduated from school a couple of years back...

2014. It was my final year in university. I met an awesome person that year who helped me get back up after a rather tough breakup. Its crazy how things happen and life makes two people meet like that.

I don't know how, but I seem to have contracted athlete's foot while working at home for a year and living alone since October.

HOW?! I either have some dirty house troll wearing my shoes/socks or I picked it up in some Airbnb in December and it took this long to show symptoms.

Wash your feet lmao

Oh btw - the reason the treatments were semi-effective was because it wasn't a fungal infection after all. It was an allergic reaction to - I'm still trying to figure out what exactly. Either soya or some food additive. It's fine for most days and then suddenly I would get these flare-ups of itchy heels, knees, forearms and scalp. Been on a restrictive diet and I have found foods that definitely do not cause it, now to find the one that does...

I miss everything about education aside from stress

Like what
Spending 5 days a week with friends.
Learning some cool stuff, attending labs, getting to understand the cool stuff learned prior, meeting new people, working on projects you want to work on.

Sadly constant stress makes it hard to enjoy the above things.

So Boris allegedly said "let the bodies pile in their thousands" during talks for the second lockdown.

For any other politician this would be a resigning matter, but it comes at a time when people whose sole personality trait is "alcoholic" will be willing to defend Bozza because they can finally go to the pub again.
Isn't UK 60%+ vacc'd ?

So I had $100 in Bitcoin on Coinbase for the longest time, but because the price of BTC is so high right now it keeps only going up and down by like two dollars. So I moved all of it onto HotBit and traded it for 97million Shiba Inu tokens and I’m already up another $100 lol.

cool, where can majora's mask be legally purchased on my PC and when did nintendo greenlight this
Buy a copy on ebay and then it's completely legal to own a copy of the ROM.  Ta-da!

There is no-where you can buy Majora's Mask and have it contribute money to Nintendo's bank account.
that's a commonly circulated meme, but unfortunately, not how it actually works—you could argue from an ethical standpoint that it's okay to do it that way, and i wouldn't be able to argue with you, but there's no law that says "it's okay to steal something if you already own one copy of it"—you could have a million apples, and it still wouldn't be okay to steal one more apple (if anything, that only makes it worse, because why would you need one more apple at that point)
Its more like, you want apple juice but all you have are apples. The law would says - if you have a raw apple, its illegal to squeeze the juice out of them, only {Publisher} is allowed to make apple juice out of apples.

C'mon man, I have all I need to make the juice but some tie-wearing (no offence, Flee) nerd prohibited it.

Also fuck Apple and their anti-repair policies.
