Next up? Colony season 2 probably. The new league of Path of Exile. I don't drink or do drugs and have no desire to. Like I find while there are gaps, it becomes a matter of finding something new/old to consume.

You're really underestimating the time you just have. Do you really think you could play PoE for 8 hours a day for a week? It's also hard to not see this as a nice break but your life now. Playing video games or watching TV for 12 hours a day ends up feeling like a bizzarro world job where you watch series just for the sake of watching them just so you can tell yourself you did something quasi-productive.

I also started out with light drinking and no drugs but it starts to creep in. It's not like you need to worry about being sober for really anything or waking up early the next day. There is a reason the stereotype for a bored housewife is always having a glass of wine in her hand.

Sorry for the constant badgering. I just feel strongly about this and have a unique perspective.

I think it's dumb to assume that there's no one out their who won't get bored with consuming media. gently caress I probably just spent ten minutes fiddling with this post. You're wrong since I presently serve as an example, check back in ten years. I don't generally consume x all day typically it'll be some x some y maybe some z.

Oh and I'm in my early thirties as well so yeah.

It's also hard to talk about the the things you've seen. I have the time to blow through the new Call of Duty in a day while still going through the new Wolfenstein. Meanwhile my friends maybe have had time to play through something released weeks ago.

It sucks asking people if they have seen A, B, or C and they say they barely have enough time to get through half of A.

People also don't want to hear how you sat around and watched TV all day while they put in 8 hours of work.

How exactly do we "pay homage" to them? Usually the people that demand a sacrifice mention what the sacrifice is, or at least give a hint. Guess the world is ending November 30 because the puppetmaster forgot to mention what they wanted.

I think that puppetmaster wants to suck a dick. You should offer yours, it’s not like you’ve got anything better to do, the rest of us have to work.

For the record, I did the not working thing for a while but I wasn’t on government pay, so eventually I ran out of money and had to go back to work. I spent a lot of time at the gym and took up computer programming. I was never bored but I was lonely sometimes. Society looks down on people who refuse to step on its metaphorical treadmill and it makes it hard to socialize.

I’ve dipped in and out of this thread for like 1,000 pages and I still feel like the Puppetmaster confessions are the saddest and most loserly feshes in the thread.

I would genuinely find you more endearing and less pathetic if you confessed to being a literal puppeteer that competed with other puppeteers for mastery, but you think you think your special because you can nudge people into getting bans? There are 6 yr old bullies crowning kids in sandboxes that are legitimately tougher than you.

I'm thinking of taking part in this year's secret santa and making a really nice homemade ornament gift for a goon santee.

But at the same time I want to participate in a reddit secret santa where the only thing the redditer gets is Tyler Perry movies and claiming I was a /the donald/ redditor doing the prank. And yes the reddit santa thing is inspired by the PYF SA Sagas thread where a goon secret santaed a redditor a bunch of trash.

What's the best way to keep up the ruse for mailing a secret santa redditor nothing but Tyler Perry movies? Also if you're gonna mention wrapping paper: I'm going to send the nice goon gift first THEN wrap the Tyler Perry gift for the redditor.

I'm not really sure what your question is honestly :confused: If you want to mail someone Tyler Perry movies for Secret Santa, you can just mail them Tyler Perry movies, right?

quote:

I am a 58 year old virgin. It’s entirely my choice, and it’s not a bad life.

I was a weird kid growing up in the 60s and 70s and didn’t fit in. I grew into my skin a bit in the 80s, but then we had the AIDS scare. Which terrified a lot of people, myself included, from ever having sex. By the time I got over that horror I was over 30 and still a virgin.

I got close, a few times in the 90s. Had a few dates, but my weird interests usually scared them off. Not many people were in to Usenet and VHS collecting back then. Definitely not many women.

I gave it one last big push in the year 2000, realizing it was my last chance. I met a woman online and we talked for months. I was 40 and finally thought I was going to lose my virginity. After a little more than a year of talking long distance she was going to fly out and visit me. Her flight took off on September 11th, 2001. I was ready to meet her, flight 93 into San Francisco.

After what happened, I was heart broken and devoteed myself to other interests.

I miss her a lot, even to this day, but my life is otherwise pretty great. I retired at age 47 and have no debt. I do what I want, which involves a lot of travel and volunteer work. I’m in good shape and expect to live another 20-30 years. To all the goons out there - stay strong and love your life and yourselves.

the part where AIDS scared someone into not having sex at all for the entire 80s was already a stretch before I even got to the :911: part

She apparently went through two failed cornea transplants and the procedures + antibiotics made her lose her eyebrows and hair and almost gave her blood poisoning and ultimately the eye had to be removed and now she has a prosthetic. Ultimately her insurance is refusing to pay for any of it since it was all “cosmetic”.

Which is absolutely horrible and tragic and emblematic of our broken healthcare system and her life is going to be forever impacted but also an amazingly thorough self-own tbh.
