I drive a green alfa romeo and I love it.

I have a bicycle, whether that's cool or not I'll leave up to you

I think Volvo 740 Turbos are cool

>>22324
That's super cool!

I have a Paseo and I like it, but it's probably not cool.
I like simple 90's interiors, especially from Toyota.

I'm just feeling really tired
I know i'm supossed to work
But i feel so distracted

Life feels very empty. It feels as if I can never have what I want.

I'm about to make a big life change, moving across the country for a new job, and so I am a bit anxious about it and if I will be able to perform well. Hope that everything will go well…

>>22836
sounds exciting, good luck!

Did I write this? I don't know a single other person who would call art a "baka hobby" and also root for the Capitals other than myself.
Anyway, I agree with everything I said here.

Somehow I have had 3 separate office jobs that all gave me essentially nothing to do including my current one. I have no idea how it keeps happening, it's not like I seek out this kind of job and if anything the interviews for 2 of them made them sound like I'd be pretty busy. Somehow they've all seemed pretty happy with me despite me doing nothing 90% of the time, and when I have actively asked for more to do I've mostly been shrugged off.
It's great on days when I can work from home but very boring when I'm in the office with nothing to do all day. It's also made job interviews frustrating as I have much less actual experience and knowledge than someone with my years of work should have so I need to lie and exaggerate a lot.

I'd read, learn chinese, or make things with my hands. I also stared at the female coworkers like a creep.

I remember one job would just have us all push a broom around when there was nothing to do. It was like we were the Hole Digging Club - Hole Filling Club irl. I would just listen to my ipod.

This sounds like the dream…

I work at a small business and due to the way we place orders for parts and materials (generally only when we're low on stock or get a large order), I sometimes end up very busy and other times can go several weeks just waiting around with nothing to do. But since it's a small shop and the owner is usually around, I feel like I have to look busy even when I'm just wasting time.

But my first job was filing paperwork after hours and since it was before I got a smartphone, I brought my old gameboy and hid in the small file room playing games. Sometimes I'd stay still for so long the motion-activated lights would turn off.

always loved Garak's cultural exchange moments

You haven't lived until you tried real creme soda

I got to try a pear cardamom artisan soda from France recently, I liked it quite a bit. A mild and complex taste, great for sipping on its own, with no need to mix it. It came in a 1l bottle with a rubber stopper, something I wish all artisan sodas would do.

My dad and I are Monster addicts but otherwise I really just prefer making my own tea or just water.

I miss the good days that haven't started yet. I know the world is capable of changing for the better, I just don't know how and when we'll get there. But its out of my control, but I have feeling that despite how worse things get, eventually they'll get better

I never liked that show but I remember that episode. I remember the chatroom for Dawson from the premier onward.

Ive never been a fan of nostalgia but something changed lately. It hasn't made me look back differently but I have decided on something I'm sad about. Im sad about the reality of 'the direction that shouldn't happen in the future back then' feeling more concrete than an abstract fear, in my present. I am not excited for the future, as people are realizing it is a lot easier to ignore the horrors of the world and focus on the parts of life that enable them to look forward to the next week. I don't like to imagine what the 2030s are going to be like, for… well anyone, in regards to basic human needs like housing and agriculture.
I'm trying to choose life. It's not always easy to die. So adapt and decide to move on. Some of the things that I have loved, have gained their own sadness. But the joy is still there, so it's not all lost. Maybe that's age. I still have so much I want to do, between things that I've either held off or just never decided to try, to brand new things I come scross. I hope adding new things will bring something more into my life, it usually works that way. I find it interesting how the popular nostalgia lens can give growth to communities, rather than disintegration. There's a lot to still enjoy out of today and look forward to. Remakes and updates to certain trends of the past can gain improvements while still being the things they were. For example I've had a renewed interest in making a '90s website for a personal blog. Some people never stopped, but it seems like a thing again since 2020.

I just want to have something in my life, or belong to something, that feels like it will be able to improve going forward. That's difficult currently. It's difficult to believe in something. But I don't want to dwell on the remembrance of things past. I want to be able to fondly remember my future.

And I miss you, bright old days…

not really :)

my life truly feels like a journey that takes twists and turns but i feel like as i have gotten older life has only gotten better. I had a horrible time growing up with my family but now i'm 27, living with my friends, travelling constantly, have a pretty good job doing something I never thought I could do as a real job.

I'm always doing what I want and pushing myself to try new things even if it makes me scared and nervous, and sometimes that does backfire, but I think the times it does work is what makes my life feel so fulfilling.

>>12982
Yes, because my friends and family were all still here but they have moved on doing things for themselves. Which is fine, but sometimes it feels less like life is changing for the better and more that the tides of change are sweeping us in a meaningless direction of adult drudgery.

>According to this calculation, Chinese civilization has a history of nearly 5,000 years since the time of the Yellow Emperor. (Source: Wikipedia article on 中华文明五千年)
It's kinda a Qing Dynasty (~1700s) meme.

I'm trying to be helpful here even if I suck at it. There's a lot of passages on how to decenter yourself from your thoughts. It's natural to feel bad at times. It's also not a religion, I'm not trying to recruit anyone into a religion, I want to be very clear here. The religious parallel is Shenism but that's a whole different thing you can just ignore.

>>22783
is that you Jesse?

>- im not fit for work from too much anxiety/negative feelings
Search for a job, where you can perform with little or no triggers for your anxiety.
>- on bad days doing anything feels very forced to me
Try to get flexible hours. Then do more on good days, so you have a buffer for bad days or work shorter days altogether. As long as you can pay your bills, you are doing good.
>- cant shake off this very deep fear and disgust for people. strangers. hate. I can barely hide it
This one is tough. Find out what you hate about people and try to not just diminish them to these traits. Everyone has a shadow, but if the hate doesn't serve you, why focus on it?
>- dont see a point in even trying because above
When you are in a ditch, every way is a steep climb at first, but I learned that sometimes even minor changes can improve your position and outlook on life, like overhauling your living conditions, replacing a bad habit with a less bad one or doing something that is in contrast to your usual routine.

>- super anxious and panicky around bad behaviour
What is bad behaviour? I hate it when people get angry, even if it's justified. Gladly my colleagues are all chill.
>- often analysis paralysis and fear paralysis that renders me immobile - - strong feeling that im just supposed to die
When this happens, start doing something with your hands, like cleaning.
>- 30 and jobless for the nth time failed so many times already
Took me longer than this, but now I have a nice workplace. After a couple of experiences I now know what to watch out for + I got lucky.

Peyote on a San Pedro.

How do you deal with keeping your plant from dying of dehydration if you're away a few weeks?
I don't really have the option of asking anybody to come water them, so my last plant perished that way. I expect to be away next summer again and I don't want to lose my new plant.

There are these terracotta things you can fill with water and put into the earth, but they seem to be much too large for just a regular house plant.

I'm thinking though, maybe it'd work to just replant in a terracotta pot, and then put that pot inside a larger container that you fill with water? Or would it get too much wet and rot?

>>22752
watering it well and then putting it in a cloche like pic related or something to keep humidity in might work but I'm not a plant expert. I have a couple small plants in a plastic display case cuz they like it humid and I have to water them like 1/10 as often as the rest of mine that just sit on a shelf

Another year passes. This has been the worst year of my life, if not 2019. I feel miserable most of the time, but enough about that. Mom bought a cake and croissants. That's nice. Not sure what I'll do today… probably nothing special? Hope I have the motivation to at least play a game or watch some kino.

And with this another year has come to pass. Not sure what to say really. Over the last year I have stopped speaking with the few IRLs I still spoke to, though I have more online friends now through sushi so it's not all bad. I've enjoyed my time with all of you, hopefully I can continue to enjoy my time here.

God, has it really been a year? I could swear this had been just yesterday.

I don't know what to write here. I wish I could express hopes for the future but, despite all I've tried doing differently this time around, despite all of the nice things that have happened, all of the people I've met, there's still this lingering feeling I am just incapable of steering the direction things are going in any meaningful way. Perhaps this has all been just escapism, and I haven't really done any work on the "real issues", whatever those are supposed to be. Perhaps I'm just impatient. Perhaps things have gotten better, and nostalgia is just being a harsh mistress. Regardless, the feeling lingers, and I don't know what to make out of that. Hey, at least I'm not dead.

As for today, it hasn't been a bad day. I was hoping to wander around the dreamscape in Yume Nikki a little bit, as it has been a while and we both share a birthday, but it's rather late so I don't think that's happening. I'm tired from work, anyway. Shame on me.

I don't know what to expect for next year. Hopefully it won't be like the past one.

Hey sushis. I'm 25 years old now. It's amazing how time slips away just like that. More than five years of visiting this little nook of the internet.

These past five years I didn't think I'd transform from a shy bookish student archetype to a rich, lonely single uncle archetype. Unsolicited advice, but if by chance you're in your teenage years or early twenties, don't waste it! And if and when you do, remember to enjoy it :)

Remember to live happily!
