Here’s a good tip Harvey.

Don’t take dating advice from goons.

Also don’t take social advice from them either.

I think the last time I was in the pet forum I wound up buying live scorpions from a goon via the mail.

Out of morbid curiosity I have to ask what you needed live scorpions for.

Hello OP, it’s me again. :wave: Did you know in that in this day and age you can be anything you want? You can even be an animal! The only limit is how much poo poo you’re willing to put up with from other people. It’s not too different from your time except that thanks to the internet you can find weirdos who will be supportive about anything, so whatever it is you want to do you might as well go for it.

Anyway, here’s a video of a dude being a dog for you to enjoy:

Hey OP, you ever go crazy in prison? You seem well-adjusted and level headed. I just ask because I've gone crazy a few times just because of work stress and depression. I'm usually fine but in prison I can't even imagine surviving a year due to my mental health and stress over getting beat up and/or raped.

How was prison for the mentally ill? I'm not just talking about the crazies, but depressed people, people with anxiety and such. How was your mental health (if you don't mind talking about it) and what were the services like?

Hey zoo zoos. I heard that to "succeed" in a prison social environment you've got to have a thing you do or contribute.

Like, tattoo or brew hooch, shift dope, make things, provide a service, etc.

Did you find this to be true and if so, what was your thing or things?

I think my thing would be you could pay me a cigarette to remember any song and sing it back to you in my best approximation of the original singers voice. A sort of lovely human jukebox.

You think that would be a good one?

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

You can both have body dysmorphia and be hideous.

If you're looking to meet people, romantically or otherwise, meetup.com is a much better option than dating apps Harv (though it can depend on population density where you live).

Essentially, groups of people organise events in reality. Which can be for anything - shared interests or just to be around people who want to be around other people. It's a solid option when you feel ready to get out and make new connections.

associating with them is not good for your standing and health inside from everything i have seen, there's no "but i just do x with the chomos". nobody cares.

usual caveat, i have never done time, i've just done a lot of outreach. so if an actual inmate contradicts me throw my post out the window where it belongs.

i took my first rideshare yesterday. i had to run a bunch of errands in town and cousin todd was busy so he ordered me an uber ride.
it was cool, the first driver was a nice lady who said she had somewhere around 10,000 trips. dang that's a lot.

the second guy drove a tesla and wow what a car that was. it wasn't completely self driving but it was still cool. too bad it's elon musk's thing though haha what a jackass that guy is.

we had a long drive back to the country and we talked about all sorts of stuff. he said i could text him directly whenever i'm in town.

the only car i ever had was a 1978 ford fiesta and man was that a piece of crap but i loved it. i bought it for 400 bucks and the person who sold it to me only used it as a place to keep firewood haha. it took forever to get all the ants out.

i don't have a license only a state id but i'll get one someday

cars have come a long way haven't they

today was my first half-day at my new job. it was good. my boss is stern but fair in his words and his priority is safety so that's cool. the coworker i'll be around most is a guy in his early 30s named scooter. he seems like a sweetly funny guy.

i didn't do much, just got a tour of the place and we went over safety rules. i drove a tractor with a front end loader around and moved a few piles of stuff.

if someone sees something they want to keep, we can. if 2 people see it, they have to decide who gets it by rolling dice, rock paper scissors, or something like that. if more than that want something, we auction it off and the money goes into a fund to have a cookout twice a year. so it really seems like a nice and chill job.

Man you have absolutely lucked into it if this guy means what he says, a boss that actually values safety over speed is worth gold and deserves to be praised.

Also your cat is adorable, hope you keep her happy and she keeps you happy.

It is important to avoid confusion. This is the one that's okay to lick.


Miss Priss looks like an A+++ catte. She looks like she's settling in with you pretty well.

Also good to hear that your job seems to be working out okay so far. Hope you can ease into it slowly and work out problems as they come up. There's going to be a whole lot of assumed knowledge you don't have and ideally everyone can be chill as you learn that stuff.

Miss Priss is so cute! Glad to hear things are going well. As for modern cars, they even surprise me. I use things 'til they fall apart and I've been rocking my 2009 Dodge Calibre for a long time and want to believe it'll last forever. I get that new cars have touchscreens and cameras and such but they're all too much for me. I like the chunky nature of my ride even if I know some of the amenities are useful and I'm sure mileage is superior nowadays. I always seem to end up in super clean, new cars when I take an Uber and it feels weird.
