/lounge/ - sushi social

>>4281
Ah, thanks sushi. I should've noticed that myself.

>>4280
Well, that hurt. I wish that the Earth would just stop spinning. That way, everyone will be not only bored but also disappointed with me as we all burn and/or freeze to death. Fuck you.

I have an idea in my head for a new firearm that will could prove to be a moderate success with the sporting community. I wish I had the knowledge and skill to shape what I dream of out of metal. I've always been able to think of art and designs, but I've never been able to bring them to fruition. It's like my brain and my hands don't cooperate.

for me to actually be happy for once and share the moment with someone else. i also wish to live in a place where i didn't have to hide myself from family.

I wish to fit in. Even if it is just a little bit. Just enough to be able to stand on my own two feet.

I'm told I'm a loser for not having a job, but nobody wants to give me a job because I'm a loser, even jobs that I feel I am very qualified for. It feels like they think I'm too much of a loser to give me a chance to not be one, but they still feed me and keep me alive. The last part is confusing to me.

>>4354
you just got to keep applying to places and eventually someone will take you in. it might be easier if you put down any school experience with anything down. I told my last employer i had 100 hours of community service without really elaborating that it was part of a scholarship i failed to get and they thought it was super impressive. little stuff like that could help. i understand how you feel completely though, i was in a similar position

>>4335
I used to be somewhat anxious about going outside a few years ago. Was living at home with my mother, unemployed, just dropped out of school. Was afraid people would see me and notice that I was some loser with no prospects. After a while I realized that the only ones that would see me were people that were in similar situations like mine.

>>4334
Walks in the woods is something I never do enough of. I should probably do the same tomorrow or on sunday. See what outside the city looks like.

So many good parks in my area, and the weather is so nice during October and November. Playing soft songs on the piano in a room lit solely by the fading light of an overcast evening. Laying a blanket over my dog and playing tunes for her… That's the November experience for me.

There is a pair of cats that have started coming to my yard. They like to lounge around and play with the leaves on the floor. They have really cheered up the season for me.

I'm afraid my area won't have much of a fall this year but will go straight to yucky. Already had a slight snowfall which was way early.

>>4351
god i wish i lived there. i've been yearning for actual snow for so long - it only snowed a day or three last year

Her name is Lily.

I know her since I saw Big Mike movie, but just recently she randomly appeared in my dream as my history teacher.

A video of her touching stuff.

She loves sushi. Who doesn't?

>>4326
>Touching stuff
You mean bullying animals?

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I feel like I can help. Get a shampoo brush. Look for the rubber ones, not the hard plastic. Scrub scalp vigorously with it when rinsing your shampoo out. Will break the flakes up and let them rinse out. Struggled with dandruff for decades, and it's basically a non-issue now after using one of these for a few weeks. This was recommended to me by my barber who has been making hair care his business for forty plus years.

>>4330
Will dandruff eventually go away with your solution?

>>4342
No. It will become manageable with continued use, but if you stop using it you'll be right back at square one. It manages the symptoms but there's no cure so far as I know.

>>4343
Damn, I didn't know that. I have been struggling with it as long as I remember. Had to google:
"Dandruff isn't curable. Most people will have to manage symptoms over the long term. Usually, the flakes will come and go. Treating dandruff with a special shampoo can manage the condition and prevent itching and flakiness."

What helped me was to wash my hair LESS. Like, maybe once a week and then when I do wash it, I wash the shampoo off with my fingers very thoroughly. Also I let the shampoo on for more than 5 minutes before washing it off.

Along that line of thought:

this!

And also
>meeting someone with very similar interests to your own and having a conversation without the whole complexity of being friends

>finding a thread dedicated to something that interested you earlier and life but you forgot about

Here's a happy feel: finding a cozy board finally! Got here from 8chan /comfy/, got there from /8lounge/, got there from /late/. All by following old posts on basically dead boards but this place is surprisingly active with a very comfortable theme. I'll try and fit in.

>>4329
Welcome to the ranks, Private Sushi! I'm sure you'll fit in if it's comfiness which attracts you.

>>4329
>I'll try and fit in.
You already do :3

>>4247
I hope you took this once in a while chance to call them a scrub.

>>4248
reported and called the cops on him

>>4238
Your gif makes me happy.

I washed my bed linens this morning, and after that, I spent most of the day doing exhausting (but admittedly productive) socializing. By the end of the day, I had forgetten what I did this morning, so when I flopped into my bed I was greeted by a comfy, clean smelling bed.

I suppose this is one of those things that make life somewhat OK sometimes.

i would've expected an SRA instead but i'm happy for you sushi roll

I have some questions for you.

1. Do you have a GitHub account?
2. Do you have many personal programming projects?
3. Do you have a website?
4. Do you have any tech-related certifications (A+, Sec+, Net+, CCNA, OSCP, CEH, etc)?
5. Did you do an internship before you graduated?
6. Have you been to any hackathons?
7. Have you gone to career fairs?
8. Do you use Twitter and LinkedIn?
9. Do you have any relevant job experience in IT or CS (like IT help desk stuff)?
10. What's your resume like?

I'm asking because a degree by itself means pretty much nothing.

1. I do. I have two team projects and one project that I completed myself for class. I should probably try to add more.
2. I've tried making a website but it's only basic HTML/CSS. Throughout the year I also tried making little projects in Java like calculators or quizzes but I never put them on my github because I was embarrassed of how basic they are. If anyone has suggestions for really easy things I could build, I'd be really grateful. I generally just follow tutorials word for word…
3. I put the one above on neocities, it's not very impressive and I don't think I'd be confident enough to show it off. I wanted to add a blog but I can't figure out a way to do it on neocities. I've managed to make similar before using PHP, I could post something like that to my github but I think it would look better on my website.
4. I haven't even heard of any of those certs. I took an Oracle Java exam but failed.
5. Unfortunately, my course was only a year long so an internship wasn't available to us because we never had a break.
6. I really don't think I'd be able for something at that level yet. I went to a small one at my college. It was fun but the rest of my team was doing all the work because I didn't understand it, I felt too embarrassed to go again.
7. I've been to two. The first was CS related and the second was more general. I got speaking to a lot of people but they kept stopping me mid sentence to say that they're only looking for people applying for managerial roles. I thought it was really strange because it was next to my college and we were advised to go but no companies were looking for recent graduates/interns.
8. I have LinkedIn, just applied for a job last night through it. It's up to date. I don't have a Twitter.
9. My only job experience is in childcare. I did a two week work experience when I was 16 but it wasn't long enough to have actually learned anything.
10. Thankfully, my college reviewed my CV before I left and gave me some advice on things to change so it's up to date. It's mostly education and one previous job. I listed all the modules I took and what I learned.

I haven't joined anything like that again because I didn't feel confident enough in my coding skills. I actually haven't heard of Toastmasters which is strange because there is actually one in my area, I'll go down this week anPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Most of the time I enjoy my job, I work in R&D for a smallish engineering company.
It's pretty cool, you get a lot of freedom and most people don't really know what you do, but for some reason they think we're all superhuman engineering machines.

It's nice that people respect us, senior management actually listen if we make suggestions, but it does mean any problem nobody else can solve ends up on my desk or the one's either side.
Sometimes it's nice, makes the job more interesting. But then other times you get someone running in screaming about a colossal fuckup that's been brewing quietly for months and is about to destroy the company, expecting me to fix everything, and I'm just sitting there thinking about how this morning I poured hot coffee on my balls because I can't even hold a mug and a phone at the same time.

tl;dr it's pretty good. But every now and then the pressure gets crazy.

>Throughout the year I also tried making little projects in Java like calculators or quizzes but I never put them on my github because I was embarrassed of how basic they are.

There's nothing wrong with putting projects like that on github, though I personally only put personal projects there that aren't for a class. If you made those in your spare time, not for an assignment, I'd say put it on GitHub. Small projects are better than an empty profile (just as long as they're not super buggy or anything).

> I put the one above on neocities,
Get your own domain name and shared hosting. It's cheap, but it looks way better than some other hosting service without your own domain.
>it's not very impressive
Undergrad projects don't have to be the most amazing things ever. I put my website and email address with my own custom domain name on my business card and resume. It looks much better than people who don't have a website or don't have their own mail server (it's easy if you use a shared host that takes care of email server stuff for you, and then you just log into cPanel and use Horde or RoundCube or something).
>I wanted to add a blog but I can't figure out a way to do it on neocities
You can use something like Jekyll-Bootstrap or Wordpress if you don't want to make something from scratch. Or just manually edit HTML for every entry, as inefficient as it might be.
>using PHP
Be careful about security if you do it from scratch
Basically, it sounds like you're doing a lot of good projects but you're putting yourself down because you have unrealistic expectations about what they're supposed to be like. A basic website is better than no website at all. Basic open source projects are better than none or just a couple.

hes back! what'll ya do now that hes already bald, seisatsu?

I still don't understand this. Am I just ignorant of some genius prose?

Am I getting dumber, stupified, idioted, having my IQ lowered, losing sentience by the posting, the lost neurons, the dumbing me down, destroyed intellect, and Internet?

thanks for sharing this! i'm not into world of warcraft at all, yet it was still really comfy!

He isn't the most active uploader, but he has a few nice restoration videos. Relaxing and interesting to watch.

((bike name) ride) plus several minutes of searching equals comfiness.

Reminds me of the kind of videos that I like to search for. Winter bicycling videos. Finding good ones is so hard I think, since so many chat too much, or blare music, completely missing out on how quiet and calm winter can be.

I think this is one of the nicer videos with winter riding.
