How was your Day 2 (general chat)

Saw Black Panther today. It lived up to the hype for me. Easily a top tier MCU film.

I realized today just how high my blood pressure is. So I'm flying to Lulea to write an exam in some leftover course from quite a while back. At the airport I realize something has happened to my phone. Half the screen is laid in this purplish pixel that makes the screen really difficult to tap. I manage call my dad in Norway to explain the situation in case he need me for whatever reason. Now bear in mind, this phone is an extra I use because I'm still awaiting a response from the provider on whether or not I can get my ordinary phone fixed. I turned it in like more than a month ago. So it's a back up phone that's completely useless as well. And when I come back to Denmark, I will be phoneless.
"Luckily I brought my iPad" I thought. However, my iCloud is linked to an old email I never, ever use. So I can't get into my imessage on the pad. I end up emailing my dad and girlfriend like some type of caveman about my situation. When I arrive at the hostel, I realize my phone has the entry code for the door. So I sit outdoors and try to tap the screen, gnashing my teeth and cursing and finally the door opens. Now I'm here in a room that looks more like a prison cell, on the guest wi fi, just clenching my teeth and simmering with annoyed frustration. Just letting it out here, because there is nowhere I can adequately express this at the moment without being made fun of.

I didn't really feel like making a whole thread but some of you probably noticed a significant increase in bot activity lately, which has been a pain. We're trying to figure out if there's anything we can do to help, but otherwise yeah sorry about that and thanks to everyone who keeps reporting them.
Old post I know, but just a quick admin question: is it worth bothering to report the really obvious ones that show up in the same place everyday? I've been flagging the ones in the Introductions section whenever I catch em popping up…but they're usually super obvious (thread title as website link) and easy for a mod to spot just checking the section every now and again, and I don't want to potentially bog down any "reports inbox" with tags for super obvious shizz.
Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a night. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Yes, it always helps. It's not about being obvious necessarily, because mods don't always look in every section at all times.

Ok cool, will keep on keepin on peace out emoji

So today I finally got to try some of that McDonald's Szechuan Sauce that everyone was going crazy about. To preface, I've never had any type of szechuan sauce or cuisine before, so I had basically no expectations.
It's alright. It had kind of a bitter-y, sour-y, fruity taste to it, which, I guess, is how it's supposed to taste. Not bad, but not really my thing.
And the lamb lies down on Broadway

The real story's in the fans, not the sauce :ninja:

My day went ok. Celebrated my birthday with some red velvet cake.

Wow.. things changed around here…:ninja:

I found out today two of my old friends from the teen years are literally card carrying nazis. That's quite painful I tell ya

Went to see A Quiet Place with some family members tonight.

If anybody is in London tomorrow (or today, technically), my friend is giving a seminar about Alice in Wonderland in contemporary Japanese media. And yes, that includes anime/manga.
https://www.soas.ac.uk/art/events/east-asia-art-archaeology-research-seminars/08may2018-alice-in-wonderland-in-japan-contemporary-media-and-carrolls-creation.htmlI'm so proud of this bitch.
-
I'm nowhere near London, but I hope the seminar at least mentions Kyousougiga (it's pretty niche and easy to overlook especially in a broader scope, but has a really unique take on the source and could really use the exposure).
Anyways, that is a rather interesting topic, and I'm glad someone's going in-depth on it.
-
I don't know, but I did remind her about Rozen Maiden.
She's always been a huge anime fan, but even she can't have seen everything. I wish to hell I could be there, but there is this Atlantic Ocean in the way.
-
Again, for people living in England, my friend is giving her seminar about Alice in Wonderland in Japan at the Sainsbury Institute in Norwich on June 7-8th. However this is a big symposium with lots of other academics giving seminars, many involving manga/anime/games.

(ironically, this friend JUST got into One Piece. I told her she should have listened to me.)

I did some odd jobs around my Aunt's and Uncle's house today, (and got paid for it, which was great). Flatten a bunch of boxes and send them to the garbage line, sweeped the family room, etc.

Also my car died and now I have to get a ride to the airport. Somehow this is leading to me arriving at an airport at midnight for a 6am flight. Sleep is gonna be stupid tomorrow.

My blog (link below) is coming along nicely. It's fun to have a writing exercise to do each day, and I'm SHOCKED how much I am pulled out of it. I mean it's a fucking HAREM anime.
-
My cousin invited me to come with him to a seminar at his new job. I'm glad I went, it really opened my eyes.

I've never been interested much in tablets but I'm using my laptop in tablet mode right now to read manga and I'm liking it a lot. The only issue is that typing is a massive chore.

My fitness history: thin until 7, then fat, at 15 joined a gym for a year, slimed down and tonned up a little, went to college, keept up for year 1, fat again.
At 22 tried to lose weight again, running a lot, started real job, fell down the wagon.
At 25 joined a new gym, worked out there with friends, until we were only two (they moved away from the country) and the last one was kidnaped after exercise one day (he's ok, I saw him last week), so I hard stopped on that gym.
Then there was this coupon that sold me like a year subscription for 3 months pay, got in, did a month and a half, and never went again.
Then I moved to spain and while I had lived or worked with a Gym at least a block away, didn't get the motivation, I was running around and walking a lot so I wasn't so sedentary, and after I moved I bougth a eliptic bike way to big for it to be useable in my current apartment.
So, today, I went to the gym. I have this issue that I feel like I dont use enough energy to be tired, but just enough to get hyper, so I shouldn't excercice at night because I should sleep instead of talking about every time that I tried to get into healthy habits, but I'm just a blob in the mornings. Should try to get even more tired to try and just fall asleep, or change my everything and start working out in the mornings.

Today i was at my usual convenience store and a lady with a burka was taking long to pay in cash.
An old lady said " an arabe being a pain in the ass again!"
And everyone in the store, clients and sellers, mostly white people, started bashing the old lady and reminding her that racism is illegal in our country and that she is the pain in the ass.I thought it was beautiful and worth sharing :)
 -
I assume you mean hijab, since the burqa is illegal

Yesterday I signed a job offer from one of the best universities in the country and I should be happy but I am just overwhelmed instead.. Its my first high job (I mean relative to what I used to get paid) which means I can finally save and travel which has been my dream FOR SO LONG. I want to feel happy but I dont even know what I am feeling anymore and I wanna cry.
I know I am most likely feeling this way because of how emotionally taxing the last few months of my life have been but still. Ugh. -
Getting ready for D&D I been thinking a lot in general.
Like what do I want in life and how to achieve it?
-
Ate too much and feeling sick. Ugh

Today, I went shopping in Target in a red shirt and blue jeans. Forgetting this, I had at least one person ask me for help, assuming I was an employee. I had a real "Rocko's Modern Life" moment.

I've never posted in this thread before, but I felt the need to vent a bit.
After a rough day at work yesterday, I woke up at 2:00 in the morning to find my newly installed radiator had a pipe burst and was spewing hot steam and water everywhere. I got the building to turn it off, but not before my entire apartment was turned into a sauna for a while. My carpet (and most surfaces in my living room) is soaked, and all the paint has been peeling off the ceiling and falling to the ground. Not exactly what I needed after working a rough 12 hour shift yesterday. I called in today, and have been spending most of the day talking to the apartment managers and maintenance staff, as well as cleaning up what I can.
I know stuff like this happens, but it's still so frustrating to deal with. Mostly, though, I'm just upset at being woken up so early in the morning by all this and losing so much sleep.
Thanks to PirateNeko for the avatar!

I forgot it was Columbus Day today. I don't intend to change my plans.

I'm getting used to working in a new department in my store. However, one of the senior employees quit, leaving the rest of us to pick up the slack. I'm in an awkward spot where I'm inexperienced in using some of the store's computer apps, yet I'm one of the older employees there and my current seniors are less willing to answer questions. I'm struggling a bit to carry my weight.

My brother died yesterday, so I'd call it the worst day of my life. It was sudden and unexpected and I'm disappointed in him in how it happened, but also so sad, more than I've ever been. I never even pictured what life would be like without him, even without living near him for some years. We talked at least every other week and almost everything I like or do, he liked or did too growing up. It just feels so wrong and I've never experienced sadness anything like this.
I don't really know if this is the thread for this, but I'm at work and it's helpful to be on here occupied on manga, but also able to let the stuff out that I can't do while on the job.

I'm so sorry to hear that, andre… I can't imagine the kind of pain you must be feeling right now, but I'm glad that you have AP as an outlet. Good luck on managing the grief... keep your head up.
Today, I met with an ex that I spent almost half of my life with before we separated about four years ago. It was the first time seeing her in nearly four years, and I can't even begin to describe just how well the meeting went. It was fantastic to talk and to just hear her voice and see her face. The whole experience felt very therapeutic, and while I'm still not sure if we can ever really be friends again, it feels like we are taking the first steps in that direction. I'm very contented right now, and I haven't felt this way in an extremely long time.

whoa so is it just me, or is the general board turning into a graveyard?

It's not just you.

Yeah, my day was not so good as I had a bit of depression recently due to other events from the past few days. Except my day today got even worse when I was driving back from the grocery store, as I hit another person's car by accident. I'm soo thankful that I have car insurance; I'm also glad the other driver was pleasant and understanding.
It was my fault by the way if anyone is curious, I was turning into the other lane, and did not see the other car >_< I am also thankful I did not get a panic attack either. Thanks to anyone who reads this.
-
I have a bad history with car crashes as well.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that >_<
I'm actually more scared now since yesterday, as I fear that I might hit someone again, so I have been extra cautious while driving >_<

I’m just here to say nothing in particular.
Weeeewoooo

After leaving class this evening, I went to Walmart and bought myself a birthday gift: a $50 PS Store card. My mother also surprised me with a slice of chocolate covered cheesecake.

Finished reading The Martian for the second time and got some leftover birthday cake. Today has been good :)
Also maybe about nine years is enough time to start actually posting :xThe executioner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg9XPcPKYAQ
