It’s odd that it comes up now but it has.

But let’s tackle the elephant in the room first (why I made this account in the first place).

Had a hookup. Of course I did.

It went bad.

I decided to bottom.

Prepared the whole day, only for the guy to be very eager (in a bad way) and the language barrier made it hard to communicate things.

He entered and came within 2minutes. (With a condom of course.)

Dude was definitely closeted, and I should have trusted my gut about having fun with people that I can actually communicate to.

But alas. He was very awkward, and promised a round 2 but then complained about the room being too hot and having a headache (lol).

We talked a bit. He admitted that he usually targets people of my racial background

Post some of your favorite noods you can find readily available in most grocery stores. I like instant noodles, and i know yall do too.

ETA or not readily available too. Ill try some good recs

I'm pretty alienated, and It's just the easiest way to give me something to look forward to when a day's going bad mentally. It does kinda suck since I'm trying to save up spending money for an event this summer.

The question is: how do I become a streamer? lmao

I know, I know, but the thing is, I've been teaching English for about ten years now and I'm frankly getting tired of the grind, waking up early as shit, teaching for six to nine hours each day and all that. I make good money, but I get the feeling that the real big money is in doing online stuff. Selling courses, making content, that kind of stuff.

My idea for a channel or twitch stream or whatever would be me playing games and then commenting on interesting aspects of the stuff characters are saying in the games. Some of the streams would be Q&As, some straight-up lessons on specific topics, maybe some streams dedicated to other stuff like films and TV shows. You get the idea.

The thing is, I don't even know where to start. I'm familiar with OBS, I have a good camera and mic setup that I already use for my online lessons, but I don't know where to start in terms of platforms, streamers to use as references and what I should expect

I heard toothbrush joke today at work.

Hand me my basin wrench and come under here with me and watch what im doing - 'you mean our basin wrench'.

(At lunch today) Can you pass my water jug to me please? 'you mean out water jug, comrade?'

He's the new owner's 17 year old fail son.

I dont get paid enough for this shit.

A thread here talking about "ahh" had an evil twin version appear on

Usually, I'm n

She said "i love you so much, but you terrify me"

Just a lot of jealousy and anger on my part, nothing will push a person way faster than those two traits.

Lots of physical compatability on our parts, sex was great, but i did not treat her the best

Hope someone out there takes notes from my mistake.

How did you get your first job? Apartment/house? Dating?

I ask because I really only did so after years of bouncing around from colleges, summer abroad programs, living with friends, and really just use Zillow or StreetEasy to look.

(I also ask because I want a distraction from the world that isn't entertainment or documentary/non-fiction and often daydream about what things I could have done different had I known things - real life skills - earlier.)

I used to have such nice teeth too. I have 2 chips now, 1 missing tooth, and one that's broken. I haven't been to the dentist in well over a decade and that's my fault. [sigh] I really let my health go to shit.

Long story short I was in the shower and felt a lump on my sack. I quickly rinsed off and jumped out of the shower to put my glasses on and check, the little lump isn't on the testicles but rather right under the skin so it leads me to believe it's most likely an ingrown hair - which I often get. But phew, a sudden jolt of panic wrecked me and I was so scared.

Had a lovely night and need a little snack before bed. The popcorn maker makes me perfect popcorn everytime no jhudgemnt no questions asked. I live in an otherwise-gizmo-free household, but I do genuinely use this things twice a week on average. What gizmo are you not ashamed of?

I also got an immersion blender for $20 a week ago and used it once to make squash soup. Perhaps that isa second gizmo... It's gotten more use than my microave in the same timespan...

So I just finished my masters in CS and got a job as a junior software engineer. When I first chose CS for my bachelors, I did so because it was somewhat intuitive for me. But I wasn't crazy about it. Thought the interest would grow over time. I've had undiagnosed ADHD throughout my life and thought the difficulties with CS during my bachelor's (which took almost 7 years) was due to the ADHD and not due to lack of interest in the subject. Learned coping strategies and did my master's. Graduated with a 4.0 GPA so I'm not bad at it for sure.

Now I'm medicated and I finally feel like I'm able to be 100% of myself. But despite that, I still just do the tasks at work for the sake of doing it. I like the problem solving aspect but it isn't something I dream about every day. I see my mentor working in the same company live and breathe this stuff and I can tell there is a clear difference in the thought process between both of us. It's easy for him to produce great quality work as he's natura

Just a question

I've been learning for a bit over a week now. Been using the app HelloChinese and some YouTube videos. Also made It a goal for myself by the end of the week to learn about 100 character. To which I was relatively successful at. Though I think I still need some work. The whole tonal thing is a bit confusing to me since I'm a tad deaf when It comes to accents but I think I'm getting the hang of It slowly.

What really motivated me was meeting nice native Chinese folk on Rednote and the current US-China trade war. Hell when I could read the name of the app I was ecstatic lol.

My goal for now is knowing enough to have basic to average conversations and read basic stuff like food menu's and signs. But If I'm still really motivated I might have to learn 2000-3000 characters which is probably enough to read a book.

I'll still see. Not sure what the point of this post was but I hope this motivates ya'll to learn a bit too.

I recently caught my chud family member watching some dumb youtube video about "experts lying about COVID" (yes, chuds are still malding), and like, what's the fucking point anymore?

You can be as gracious, understanding and in good faith as possible, but people will believe whatever nonsense some idiot influencer says is the truth. It makes me so mad, and unable to argue with these people, because their irrationality makes me irrational. Fuck.

Anyway, how are y'all doing?

English has so many words that I have encountered probably hundreds of times and never looked up. I just skip past them or use context to understand.

What the fuck is a cantilever? What is a yeoman? And why do people insist on bringing in Frnch words like rapprochement?

So if I’m still learning English, despite decades of practice… then I shouldn’t be embarrassed about learning a language that I just encountered a couple years ago.

I felt relieved to realize that no one 100% masters a language. You just reach a point where some % of mastery is enough for what you need to do. So I don’t need to worry about being fluent, if that even has a precise meaning. Every little improvement helps.

I had to walk to this place and back in the hot ass sun... god damn, that was brutal, but I'll get used to it. I've done this for jobs in the past. I'm home now and chilling with a fresh beverage.

So when I say "I'm hoping for respect," I mean that this

She said that I will get an answer by end of the day tomorrow, but seeing as how I've had jobs tell me an estimate for when I get an answer and then totally ghost, I'm not going to be shocked if she doesn't call back. I will try to reach her if she doesn't call me by one hour before the

"And then the evil bad cop who was secretly a terrorist manipulates the dumb naive youth into protesting police violence, causing a riot which is used as a distraction for the bad cop to do a bank heist and now it's up to the handsome good cop who doesn't play by the rules to stop the bad cop while rolling his eyes at the dumb leftists who are so easily manipulated by their emotions"
