in what stretch of the matter? also just turned 29 today....don't talk to me like that....<:woah:501543165396779008>

by engineering i mean computer science, computer engineering and programming

@SFM_2046 impart that sweet sweet knowledge of a 29 year old

happy birthday too man!

If you really want to excel, budget and make a schedule to study/work regularly

yup

its a discipline like any other

make time for other things

especially sleep

my manager will pay for my masters in cs if i go that route and multiple certs/programs for machine learning/full stack dev

my issue is outside of work

when i am at work... i'm a monster

once i leave... i turn into a sleepy marshmellow

lol

i just want to game or read or MAYBE read some academic papers or a little coding

i've been looking at learning an instrument or ui/ux / graphic design and maybe even game dev

i like hiking and take my roommate's dog with me

yeah It's hard, but I've found minimizing helps, get rid of distractions and anything that clutters your space

yeah

i'm hardcore minimalistic

desk, chair, desktop, mattress topper (3 inches), 1 week of clothing, hygiene supplies... that's it

and my car

@machtyn in that case, try to make some origamis

Its a very cheap hobbie

@Kazemaru i actually make hats or boats when i go out to eat but that's not very often - otherwise i am 100% paperless lol

it's definitely a chill hobby

raising preying mantis is fun

hmmm someone mocking my age and brain?

that sounds amazing lol

@SFM_2046 Not mocking you.

I have just 3 right now, but they are growing each week

they molted once so far

molted?

shed their old skin

ah

I garden alot too, very stress relieving

@Rockets that is cool

you own a home i assume?

condo

that is awesome

with a porch

why condo over house?

Im doing an 8' x 4' cloth pot out there next summer

oh that is awesome

was like $60, and I'll be growing about 10 different things

mostly edible and flowers for the butterflies

that's pretty cool! i was about to ask if any of those are edible 😄

i'd love to eat things i grow

specifically romaine lettuce/spinach/brocolli haha

I was talking to a dude in class about the fraud and intentionally changed the amount in the story from $200 to $800 and this single mom latina that i don't really talk to suddenly turns around and puts herself in our conversation and starts flirting with me

yep, doing peppers, pumpkins, watermelons, and strawberries

@Happy Humble Hermit does she got dat ass doe?

OH WOW 800 that's so much

@machtyn she's real cute but my golden rule is to never touch single mothers

yup that's solid

Never have never will turned down a bunch

oh yeah, single moms can be evil sirens

i dated one and it got weird after 5 months

they know what they are doing and have practice

she started inviting me over to meet her kids and shit

i bounced

AND

she was a coworker

so i fucked up on two counts

AND she came to MY place

so three counts

but lessons learned

Yeah lessons learned

and no serious damage... yet... hopefully

@Rockets yeah its fine to say all humans are dogs if by dogs you mean bypedal apes, but then you kinda got to explain what you mean by dogs if you know what i mean. You can choose a term to mean whatever you want, but if you dont define it for your audicence, then we run into problems.

dogs aren't apes tho

I had to break up with an sm 5x once, she kept laying me to extend the final decision

@machtyn well, yeah, the way that term is typicly used it doesnt mean apes

@Rockets yeah... get those victory laps then bounce 😄

@Redneo yeah 😄

Same single mom gave a talk on political cartoons and said she doesn't understand anything political but is perfectly fine hating on trump publicly when the topic isn't even political in class

@Happy Humble Hermit i am so happy dude... i haven't felt this happy and fulfilled at work for a long time... i solved 3 problems from 2 different teams all relating to a major project that was stuck and got to present it all to c-level suite. i feel so thiccc right now.

@machtyn but if i spoke and clarified that by dogs i mean "bipedal apes" then you would be able to undestand what i say if i used it that way.

@Happy Humble Hermit it's the safe bet... it's mainstream... what else do you expect 😄

@Redneo yup - debating 101 - define all terms

Basicly, a) you can discuss concepts without agreeing on definition of words but b) if your definition of a term is not the norm, define them

Look like HHH bumped into another NPC.

@Happy Humble Hermit you got a new fan! I wonder how shes going to react once she discover your political opinions

@Redneo Im having a hard time remembering that comment, but I believe when I say dogs, I was referring to people who will fuck a mate simply because they have an opportunity, the selfish attitude that many people are infused with, stems from greed and the animalistic nature within, and when I say dogs, I mean all men and women that I look down on as an evolved human being

She'll crash!

@Rockets no, no, you didnt say dogs. I said that as an example of...

let me scroll back @Rockets

@Kazemaru you never talk about politics with people especially women

@Happy Humble Hermit wrong! One can talk politics with women when you desire to trigger her

@Rockets you said "@Redneo I live by the heart and mind not bound to definitions, definitions are just there to give you an idea, I feel it's to const4raining to be bound by them, and choose a more limitless path(bearbeitet)" - i used that definitional stuff to make a point about having to define your terms espacialy if they deviate from the norm

Girl came in late to class and this cuck got out of his seat and walked across the room to give her his seat. I can't handle the soy I'm getting second hand cuckery just watching this shit

hm

@Redneo Gotcha, I think it's hard for me to explain because I don't think normally

My mind is weird, seriously

Cuckery! <:AAAAAAAAAAA:371489826366554112>

@Rockets hey, mine is, too

I think in feelings and imagery and concepts and mix and match yadda yadda yadda, hard to explain

my last girlefirend - that was, what, 10 years ago since thats over - allways went into dragging me into sex if i talked politics or science

@Happy Humble Hermit you should have shouted to him *"would you do that for me?"*

just a bit of advice, im not saying you SHOULD be with a girl, but if you are and want to have sex, talk about something that goes above her head or that she doesnt want to talk about
