If this therapist doesn't respond to my new patient form in a week I'm going to live life as my one-time Smash tournament alter ego

no no no you misunderstood. YOU'RE still single because you're ugly, broken, and unlovable. I'M still single because everybody ELSE sucks

2027 is only 1 bedsheet wash away

@Coaled_cs @AntlerTox If you had played a pc fps before and watched a WarOwl video you would clean house

@Anconoid69 What did Borp do?

you know melee is fucked when the person who's by far considered the coolest player and the goat is both banned and pushing 40

@lllliatttt maspeth

they should invent a train that goes to greenpoint

@n0ned Someone could plug in a mod that makes their character's moves do 500% and you would still try to say it's not as bad as zumping

@peteyburn @thedulab I just thought it was NYC in cursive

@thedulab I dunno why Paris is so polarizing. I hated it Would like to go back to France but the vibe and pickpocketers/scammers (I saw plenty) were just not it Then again I was 21 and broke when I went

Some personal observations. Everyone is generally friendly and open to conversation. Clean and well maintained public spaces. Occasional homeless sighting but rare. Zero mental illness on the subway. Didn’t see any pickpocket type stuff and felt completely safe walking at night Talked to a handful of everyday people too. Both transplants and natives, 20’s and 30’s working in retail, cafes, etc. Pleasantly fascinated by how positively they all spoke about their lives. Said they were paying ~$1k for a 1br apartment, up to $1.5k in the more posh and central areas. Despite the relatively lower salaries, common sentiment was “I love it here” and you could tell it was genuine Honestly such a life changing trip. Every stereotype turned out to be untrue. Definitely my new favorite European city by a mile and will surely be back often. Can’t wait to get home to NYC and continue the adventure Final comments. Boulangeries are top 3 greatest inventions of all time. Bastille is the best neighborhood to stay in. No tipping culture will be desperately missed. Hot people exude an entirely different aura here. You can just drink wine with friends outside of a tiny Le Marais bistro with Tame Impala’s End of Summer adorning the scene during a random weekday evening in the permanent underclass and nothing bad will happen

@PussyDe36818229 that promise of early retirement with a pension(!) is doing a lot of heavy lifting

@Swampyl I like that the industry operates on the promise that the job WILL suck to the greatest extent your employer can make it suck, and if you want it to suck less you need to get out as soon as possible. Very sustainable!

average message u get from family as a 2025 comp sci grad

@kten_sean @snuffedbunny It's really funny that they're doubling down on marketing to gamers like yes please put in Eugene who's hardstuck gold pisses in a jug and is banned from Overwatch for saying slurs I'm sure he'll help you guys

@Swampyl @snuffedbunny was literally about to send this to you til I saw your reply lol

@_lobotomyx @bendnature @snuffedbunny Or you can become an instructor, supervisor, etc. but if everyone did that the planes would crash so they've still reealllly gotta improve those working conditions

@Swampyl @bendnature @snuffedbunny If you do it for a few years you can transition to being a subject expert at a company making the simulators they train you on. Pay is nothing special but it's a super chill job

@zelNALOL @bendnature @snuffedbunny I'm not vagueposting! I'm not vagueposting!

@bendnature @Swampyl @snuffedbunny He won’t tell you

@bendnature @snuffedbunny Did I mention you're never gonna get a good night's sleep again

@bendnature @snuffedbunny Congratulations on making it through our government-sanctioned training designed to stress you out and put as much pressure on you as possible (35% myself included didn't)! You've earned the privilege of making $100k to worry every day if you're gonna be the next LaGuardia Guy

@virtualjew It really just gets weirder and weirder and not in a good way

this was kinda like studying at a small liberal arts college. first two years were great, third year started to get a grip on the dynamics, and by year four was suffocated
