I'm not comfortable with it, and will likely never learn how to do it either for the same reason. Even though I know everything is shut off, still gives me anxiety before I touch each wire like it's gonna mess up and electrocute me. I'll stick with the basic plumbing, carpentry and gardening.

Yep. Completely agree.

Also wires just sort of make my brain want to shut down which is not helpful.

Well if you don't have a regular guy, find a local maintenance guy for a hotel or motel. They will usually always do side work for lower than a professional, and they deal with toilets and plumbing all the time, so they will do a good job. I got an 81 year old guy named Willie that does that, and he works on my electrical when needed.

Electrical i can't fuck with at all.

I don't know what it is but I have a mental block and just hate running wires. On a very basic level I can do it but fuck me I hate it and it is not a strength. Pretty much anything to do with wiring I just shutdown on mentally.

Watched a video it looks simple enough but whenever I do shit like this there's always something that doesn't go right and I lose my shit immediately.

I'm talking about the toilet install and NOT Canucks sex talk. Although, it's not innacurate.

Exactly.

Also this looks like something Jim would play:

I am uncomfortable at this existing. I do not like this at all.

Johnny_Nutcase posted...

I dunno maybe i'll do it myself. It's just connecting some pipes together right? I can probably handle that.

It's fucking super easy. Carrying the toilet is the hardest part. Fixing a leaky faucet is less intuitive / obvious than replacing a toilet honestly.

Guaranteed if you watch a youtube video you can handle it no problem.

I was saying something but tje topic closed and I forget what it was.

That's a good joke though.

But old people think it's evil and will consume your soul so that won't happen for a while

That's just the lame old people. I mean the Woodstock crowd are like mid 60s now.

But also the lame old people are the ones who run shit so... yeah.

Its fucking nuts how things evolve and why stuff is the way it is.

It's been in heavy consideration for legalization for medicinal purposes in the US here, a lot of research is showing it's very effective for depression and anxiety, various mental disorders and boosts your immune system.

Canada too. You can actually buy shrooms at a few unlicensed weed dispensaries near me now. It's basically into the grey area of what weed was a few years ago commercially but there still needs to be much more open and tolerant research into it. I feel like ten years down the road there's gonna be a lot more known about the benefits.

I knew exactly 1 Lindsay. She was kinda interesting. She sold me weed once. She stole it from her boyfriend.

I like the cut of her jib.

Also *kindsa. All kindsa.

That is a word even if it doesn't have a proper spelling.

Oh shit, I wish I had some i'd go hard right now.

I swear they genuinely have a potential to be so good for mental health. Eating a quarter cause you had a bad day is obviously not like an ideal stress response but every time I've done mushrooms I have no desire to do them again for a long time but I really sort of have a... like there's carry over where you sort of have a better perspective on everything.

I can totally see how microdosing where you don't feel it but just take some tiny amount every so often could be really helpful.

I feel like we're on the right track if anything. On a production level we are fucked but I got all Lindsay interesting things to say.

*all Lindsay

Holy shit i saved some some mushrooms from around Christmas break and I was planning on trying microdosing with them when I'd really gotten a good understanding how to do it right but everything was fucked the last week so I just ate a quarter of mushrooms today and I don't know why or how I posted a screenshot of the post I made.

Well fuck look at the TPB Podcast. They just sit around and drink. So if a bunch of us do that and we have Walter walking around on the table scratching the shit outta me when i'm passed out, I think we got lightning in a bottle.

I feel like we could have a great podcast. We'd just need some talking points for each ep and it'd be fun as fuck to do if nothing else.

MrMallard posted...

I mean at that point you might as well start doing vlogs on YouTube

No that seems like you'd have to do stuff and not a thing where you can hitch your star to cat. *Hitch your wagon to cats star.

is that even the expression?

Or maybe not. Youtube is weird.

Johnny_Nutcase posted...

You can make money on TikTok. I've been trying to get the new chick goin with it too and make money.

Could be good for Walter too just for small clips you can upload.

It seems the easiest and most low effort and accessible by far. Do people actually get paid by tiktok though or do you gotta do some sidehustle work to make money from it?

Like if you're a partner on twitch or youtube you get paid through an adsense account on youtube and twitch if you're a partner you're gonna get paid via... I dunno just twitch or some Amazon account or however it works.

Fuck it i was gonna edit that yo be coherent but nope its staying the way it is.

Does tiktok pay people or do you gotta work to use those views for money from other people that you go after yourself?

Colon cleansing complete. Pooped soap. Soaped poop?

I thought it was only in prison that colons and soap were so closely tied together.

Johnny_Nutcase posted...

I keep tellin ya, if you put Walter on Twitch or something you'll clear at least $1 mil a year.

I don't know if it's cause my Webcam just sucks or cause I'm using a background in teams but if class has taught me anything its that if Walter is too close to the camera it looks like there's nothing on screen but the background.

Maybe I'll say fuck it and make him a tiktok. That seems really easy. I don't think you can directly monetize tiktok like youtube or twitch but it seems a lot more low effort.

I could just upload shit I already have in 60 second bursts or whatever and if he gets some followers then he can get the other shit going.

Actually hes great at not leaving me alone when I'm at my computer desk so potentially he could be a twitch star one day.

Any chance you can gather enough monies to pay for a cheap used car with cash? Monthly car payments seem like a bit of a grift sometimes, though I get why financing is sometimes needed.

I'm going to school atm and working part time and I was sans income for a few months after starting school till I found a job that would work with my hours.

Its also not a good paying job.

The guy who fucked my car is a mechanic and its a blazer he has that id be buying. Hes actually willing to finance it himself and give me 1k off for my car (its a 17 year old sunfire that has body damage from other idiots who hit it while parked so that's a more then fair price) but he wants 500 a month for 6 months and I'm like buds I can do 250 a month for a year or 250 till July when I graduate and work full-time and then pay more.

Smackems posted...

Taint worth it if it fucks you up like that

That's what I tell myself.

I mean its true for sure but also fuck I could use the monies. I have the monies stress and I need a vehicle by the time lab starts in less than a month, and imma have to pay monies every month for it.

It's such a stupid fucking thing to worry about relative to so much else. I should bitch less.

Smackems posted...

I've done a shit ton of night work. In particular with paper routes, midnight to 6. And now when there's emergencies it's almost always at night I have to deal with them

Omg the worst thing I've ever done was when the place I worked at for 4 years or so brought in night shifts on finishing. My end was always the only one without night shifts and suddenly I'm doing a month of every shift and switching.

That was my last straw at that place. It sucked for a hundred reasons but also I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't have just stayed. At least there was benefits and a pension.

I really suck at night shifts and functioning on little sleep in general. It makes everything way harder.

Rum & Coke and Whiskey & Coke are both better mixed drinks

Seriously gin and coke is at best a distant third in the drinks involving a single liquor and coke. Tbh it maybe worse than vodka with coke which is also trash tier.

Most of my working life I've either had to be up by 5 or 6 depending. Its the absolute worst.

Even now when I don't have to im so conditioned to it that I still wake up by 6 and then just lay in bed with my eyes closed pretending I'm sleeping.

I'm drinking and watching the end of dexter. Or at least until I wanna listen to music.

Fuck the last week or so has been something. I'm starting to wonder what in the actual fuck is with the pacing and planning of this class.

I typed a rant but it included the better known name of walking corpse syndrome and gfaqs was like oh you can't have the letter t and then letters a, r, and then the letter d together in any circumstance ever and also you don't even get the warning and post this anyway option for when its totally non offensive and not remotely related to that word that starts with re.

Fucking gfaqs man.

If he has good defense, he can probably go the distance. Athletically, hes gifted and in his prime

Tyson is in good shape and experienced, but hes not the monster he once was. He can still kill 99.9999% of the world though

This has been floating around for months now, although originally it was Logan. Terms of the original had a no ko clause and id bet money the same applies here.

Its gonna be a nothing event competition wise, but the spectacle is still there and it will sell huge.

He won't cause there's too much money on the line but the only way this is fun is if tyson does go for the kill. Which he would get. Easily. 52 or not he looked good against Roy and in all training footage.

Power is the last thing to go and tyson has clearly shown hes still levels above askren or Woodley or anyone Jake has fought.

Lmao. Also now I wanna know what band that is i was listening to. Dudes familiar looking.

If I had every pic of Walter I'd ever taken i wouldnt even wanna know how many it was. Some would say too many. Like easy 3000 probably.

Questionmarktarius posted...

We still have the important Walter pic:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/6/6/AAEhCpAAC0XO.jpg

That is an amazing pic.

But also I just realized I don't have the sweet photos hope someone did of Walter holding a knife or the football throwing one and now im gonna have to try harder to recover the pics from my last phone. Thinking back it had over a year of Walter pics.

I was so pissed about losing the baby pics still that I never really thought about how much shit was on the other one.

Also ill give you 3 guesses as to who broke my last phone.

Have you tried plugging the phone into a computer USB and see if it can read the files?

Yeah I need to put in the password to get them off it. Which is the sole reason my current phone has no password protection.

At least if something happens to it I should be able to get pics off it so long as it powers on.

One of the broken ones turns on but the screen is smashed in the exact wrong place for 2 of the numbers to work and I can't use face recognition for some reason and the old iPhone has the screen sticking a quarter inch from the case and it'll charge but you can't do a thing with it.

If I ever dig them up I'll post them or DM them to you for sure. I still have the laptop but it won't boot entirely.

Thanks. I've gotten a few back that people were kind enough to post here.

I'm hopeful I can recover the ones from my last phone maybe but the phone his kitten pics were on is pretty thoroughly trashed... plus theres other pics on it I wouldn't exactly want someone to see so I can't really take it in. I still can't throw it out though. Lol

I lost so many pics when I broke my phone(s). I lost great pics on the more recent phone but the kitten pics ill always kick myself for not having backed up.

Fuckin dummy I am.

Always appreciate a good picture of some nice looking kitties.

Ive had him since mid 2019 basically. So whatever that works out to math wise. Lol. Its amazing how much they change.

Personality wise hes very similar but he looks like a whole different cat almost and he's simultaneously more laid back and way more nuts somehow.

You guys don't even know the best part about the Habs sulking so bad this year... I'm pretty fucking sure they traded their highest overall pick to the yotes when they got dvorak.

Or I'm imagining things bit I'm pretty sure I'm right so even if they get 1st overall its not gonna help them.

What is the economy gonna do when you all retire in 30 years?
No enough babies are popping out today. Very few new workers.

Tc likely will not answer this.

Tc thinks working fulltime translates to retirement. Tc doesn't know shit.

Animals are so weird...

I've never met a dog who didn't love car rides except this one lab weiner dog cross we had when i was young... she would start trembling and violently throw up anytime she was in a car.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


My town has 1500 people and its sorta spread out. Lol. It was still a sketchy drive around the block.

Even the day I took him home I had this huge pet carrier (huge then tiny now) he absolutely flipped and it was heart breaking. I put a finger into the cage to try to calm him as I was driving and he had the sharpest little tiny kitten claws ever.

Hes not a lot different now really except he doesn't attack my finger if it try to calm him down.

Smackems posted...

How long a drive is it?

Fuck I can be in total woodlands inside of 10 mins. But he regresses to kittenhood and loses his shit in a car. He doesn't even like hearing cars.

I'm wondering though if I get that blazer maybe I could put up some mesh screen behind the back seats and if he had a bigger area than his carrier thing maybe he'd be more okay.

He def can't be uncaged in a car if he can reach me at all. I tried that to see if it was better. It was a harrowing trip around the block and back. Lol.

I want to take him out in the bush a bunch so bad but I've only done it like 2 times ever. He can't handle cars. I feel like a total asshole driving him anywhere. But he fuckin loves being in the bush.

I remember you mentioned the wilds the other day. I'm gonna finally finish dexter then finish all if the yellowjackets eps that are out and then I'm gonna check that out. It sounds cool.

No panther?

I like cheese, I like pasta, I like cheese on pasta, yeah it's great. I had all kinds of pasta n cheese... never mac n cheese though... I know it's weird.

The best thing ever that isn't lasagna is baked spaghetti. Tons of good sauce and cheese but then you put it in a pan and bake cheese on top of it?

I wish I wasn't so lazy and impatient or I'd do that a lot more.
