I think pretty much everyone above 20 feels this way, but a lot of people are just addicted.

It might help her adjust to keep hearing the name she already knows. yes this is what i planned to do but i thought it would still be fun to get some suggestions. her name is priscilla or prissy or miss priss.

Toxic Mental posted:What do you think about dating Harvey this is a good question and one i dont have an answer for really i've never dated anyone not in the true sense i guess. the girlfriend i had before everything happened was a girl i had known since middle school. we just sorta started hanging out and it went from there. i would have married her i think most dating is done with apps now right. cousin todd told me about some of them. on top of being sent to prison for murder i also have pretty low self esteem because of my body dismorphic disorder so even without being an ex-con it might be difficult for me. if i meet someone new they can tell something's off about me, so i usually explain soon after meeting them where i was for 30 years. a couple people were fine with it, and a couple people i've never seen again. trying to date isn't really something i should be doing anytime soon i guess. i wouldn't even know where to start if someone said yes. as a kid with that girlfriend, our 'dates' were going to the janky rear end putt-putt golf course, the movies, bowling, or burger king. there wasn't much else in our town harveys zoo zoos fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Jun 2, 2023 |

Dating apps loving suck and they are honestly why dating completely sucks now because everyone thinks they are *just one swipe away* from finding ~the perfect~ person. Basically, what I am saying is you are in the same boat as a lot of people these days. Welcome!

Harvey, you should also know that everything is now called “X Porn” to describe incredible stuff so like “Food Porn” or “Space Porn.” Also there is a LOT of Porn Porn that thousands of random people make and post themselves, it’s wild.

harveys zoo zoos posted:this is a good question and one i dont have an answer for really you don’t need to use an app to date. I’ve never needed to use one. apps are one way people connect, but they have the problem of having too many people with anxious-avoidant attachment styles, as the more normal people will partner off and then not need to use the service for a while I’ve known a few ex cons who did some serious time and they didn’t seem to have trouble dating. there’s gonna be people who are attracted to you because you’ve been to prison. Body dysmorphia sucks poo poo tho, but at least others won’t have the same perceptions you do of you. you don’t gotta rush this stuff tho, I’m sure you’ll find someone with time in any case

Yeah, if you shove crystals right up in your chakra the universe will give you full release. Also feel free to ask the ghosts of victorian children for stock tips, it's equally as valid.

I've heard that some people behind bars play D&D and games like it to pass the time. This makes sense to me; personally I played a lot when I was in the Marines and stuck on ship. There is a lot of downtime at sea; once you get your stuff clean there's pretty much nothing to do, you're pretty much just stuck in a metal can - so I can see the similarities. And D&D books and dice are relatively portable, you can take them from place to place with you. Is this true, or is it not really a thing?

But don’t you think that exposing him to this much unmitigated power over others might be feeding his ego too much? That it all might be going straight to his head? Next thing you know he might kill a guy.

Cessna posted:I've heard that some people behind bars play D&D and games like it to pass the time. You can't have dice in prison usually so I heard that inmates make little paper decks with numbers 1-10 or w/e and draw for their rolls. And it's mostly played by chomos. This information is from a single thread made by another goon ex-con so maybe that was just at their facility

I think that's on a prison by prison basis. OP said they tried to play but people weren't interested iirc. I've heard it's popular in some prisons though, just generally, not chomo specific. But it's going to depend largely on the specific crowd in the prison.

Congrats on the kitty, Harv. "Miss Priss" is already a pretty awesome name for an old white cat. I was the one who asked about the gang stuff. Good to hear that keeping your head down and watching your mouth goes a long way. I just got into Diablo III this year, not sure when I'll get to IV (my computer just barely ran it during a test weekend) but if you loved Gauntlet you should be pretty into this series. Video games are a lot more fair than they were when we were kids. There are still hard ones but you're not gonna run out lives or continues for most things these days.

I'm really happy about your cat, Harvey. It is heartbreaking to me when someone can't take care of their pet anymore. It's good karma to take on that responsibility and care for this poor, older creature so she doesn't have to live in a shelter for the rest of her life. If you haven't had cats before, it can take a long time for an older cat to fully warm up to you. Just let it do its thing, give it treats and stuff to play with, and eventually she will get bored enough to overcome her fear and start becoming more affectionate. I'm tearing up thinking about it. Nothing makes me sad like animal stuff. We have rescued a couple older animals and it's hard. They have more medical problems and they die on you sooner than if you got a pup or kitten. But I don't think there's much more noble than taking that burden, and helping something who is helpless and adrift

harveys zoo zoos posted:is it better to start a new thread for things like this Ultimately it's up to you, posting it here would be just fine, there's no rule in having more than one thread. You wouldn't need to "manage" the other thread as much as this one, goons will just post like crazy all sorts of funny names and you can just sit and watch. Naming threads are a common thing and typically end up with some hilarious content as goons run with ideas and make pun after pun and feed off of each other. The benefit would be to just separate the content a bit to keep this thread focused on the Q&A, but again, it's entirely up to you and doesn't matter either way. You could also ask goons for photoshops and "MS Paints" of your new kitty that match suggested names, this sort of thing is what this community of internet rejects really does well. I think you'll have a good laugh and it will generate some good content.

You might get less edge lords in the pet forum, but no guarantees since you're kind of a local celebrity now. I think the last time I was in the pet forum I wound up buying live scorpions from a goon via the mail.

Thank you for sharing your story and experiences with us. I think its been inspiring in a lot of ways, to be honest. Its been a fascinating thread so far. To jump on the media recommendations bandwagon, given that it sounds like you like animals and nature, I'd highly recommend checking out BBC's Planet Earth and its associated spin off (Frozen Planet/Blue Planet) nature documentaries. They're absolutely beautiful to watch and I find them quite relaxing.

Everything in this post tells me you're quite a bit more well-adjusted than many of us are. I think you are spot-on about media and drug consumption. You've got a job lined up, you just got a cat and you go outside for fun. This forum (and the world) is full of people who have been free this whole time and don't have these basic things or can't appreciate them.

the ease of getting a date has generally made people much worse at dating, it's true. this is something i have dealt with a couple of times talking with ex-cons, even ones who were only in for like 5 years came back to a completely changed dating world if their timing was just so. the most astute one said something that still sticks with me today and kind of captures why i hated the apps when they came out and continue to hate them today: because it's so easy to get a date, nobody stops to think about what they want, so every date sucks. after you go on like 10 dates that suck, you think every date will suck forever. the old ways of meeting people, like going to meetups, church events, or whatever did a better job of setting up chances for success because the people you were talking to already had at least geography, schedule, and something in common that you both showed up for. apps give you 10 words tops and all of those could be lies. even if i say i like x, you've got no proof i've done x in the last 5 years. so then you get to the date, you ask me about it, and it turns out i'm a liar. great, that's your afternoon down the drain.
