I'm 1991

I guess I'm the second oldest here after you.

Haha

Time flies. Enjoy your youth.

I mean, thirties are good.

You feel twenties, and you're a bit more wise to go along with it.

Well, you've heard my story. Not so good at the minute.

Or wasn't

90s nibbas are the real nibbas 😤

Now I've got Saraiiii

A 90s real nibba <:AISmug:307046805558788099>

The 90s were great.

It was like the eighties but without the ridiculousness.

And we walked to school, uphill both ways in the snow.

I always Walked to school.

Uphill both ways?

Maybe that's an Irish thing, more country. Lol

Yup.

Lol

I miss walking to school

My school was all uphill.

being able to walk to school is dope

I hate having to take an hour to get to my school

Ireland is quite hilly isn't it?

It is. I ended up doing muay thai and my legs are like concrete blocks. LOL

What's the landscape like in Puerto Rico, @Sarai ?

Lots of mountains

Kicking banana trees, eh?

I want to know Sarai's landscape.

<_<

Heh

I live in a pretty country ish town

That's cool.

I've heard PR is very beautiful.

I'm sure you'll get to know it <:ohGosh:300898497161592832> @Deleted User

The beaches are

And the mountains too tbh <:happuChino:253728405395079178>

I'd love to go to Ireland.

That's one of my top European destinations.

Me too fam me too <:AISmug:307046805558788099>

Incredible sights there.

Ireland is where Cthulhu lives.

And i know you want to come here @Sarai

You do <:owoHehe:337787922071945217>

You're the only person who's actually seen me too LOL

O

I've got the privilege

<:AISmug:307046805558788099>

Daaaaaaamn

That October privilege

O.

Auto type

Is Cthulhu handsome? What's the scoop?

Octo*

Er

Octo is a very beautiful man <:RemLove:308812056994250753>

Hush

who plays defiance

Ok <:soeeUWU:250297482683088896>

like right now

I enjoy making people feel awkward, Cthulhu, don't mind me

Sowwy

idc if you played it before

who plays it now

defiance

I do not play it, Sam I Am.

Beautiful Cthulhu :0

Do you have a thick Irish accent?

Or is it more mild?

Just out of curiosity.

And then there were none.

I am from Belfast.

So the north of Ireland

Or 'Northern Ireland'

I don't really know what that means in terms of speech.

Well, a thick irish scots hybrid accent basically.

Ah, okay.

From a land unwanted by the brits and unwanted by the Irish mainland.

I worked with a Irish guy once. Older guy. His name was Scotty. So I used to tease him and call him Scottish. He would get legitimately angry with me.

"The North".

Lmao

Of course his anger fueled the joke.

If he got annoyed over that he deserved it

Indeed <:Smug1:324220716386091008>

Haha I agree. It was funnier that it bothered him so much.

I would laugh if someone called me Canadian.

A lot of us have short tempers.

We have an affinity for dark humour but we're quick to anger.

He had to see it coming. I mean, his name was Scotty for Christ's sake

Not me, I suppose

Heheh

His parents prank'd him <:SmugWendys:320265972009402379>

Oh, they definitely did

I love dark humour, but I never get angry.a

I'm just so used to having thick skin.

Same

At 25, I've spent enough time online to know to not take anything to heart

I was the youngest child growing up, so I had to toughen up.

Or else my brother and sister would have eaten me alive

Oh little siblings

Is there competition between Scotland and Ireland?

Or, like, a pride thing?

Not really, Scotland loves Ireland. Irish nationalism is also a big thing in Scotland.

Ah

Everybody loves Ireland <:RemEhehe:238039568287399936>

Totally

It seems quaint and has a ton of history

What's not to like about it?

Except unionists in Ireland.

Unionists?

The people in the North who perceive themselves as British.

Oh

The reason northern Ireland is a 'coubtry'

Country*

They're like non separatists or something?

Queen devotees?

The worst of the worst. Even the english hate them. Most English see Ireland as one country. But where I live, the north, it's 50/50 unionist (British) and nationalist (irish)

Interesting.

When did Ireland officially earn separation from England as their own entity?

We're making up for the awful American school system right now.

The free state earned dominion status in 1921, but in 1937 it declared itself a Republic.

Forsaking us up here in the North.

Wow people are actually smart in this discord

I though I was one of very few

In 1918 Sinn Féin won an election to declare all of Ireland a free nation, three quarters of the country voted for independence,

However

Intelligence is a fringe undertaking

That's for sure

Yea

Most people seem to be sucking up fake news

The Lords in Ulster (where I live), Unionists and pro crown, vowed in their words 'Orange Terror against the Catholic population" if Ireland was given independence.

Thus Ireland was partitioned

And so we have northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Octo knows his history <:owoHehe:337787922071945217>

He does

Gg

I hate history at school

<3

History was my bitch.

So I don't know too much

Math was the one subject I failed.

And yet all my jobs have been sales and I've ripped off so many people

Lol

I loved history class <:happuChino:253728405395079178>

Octo <:FeelsHug:313363183530147842>

Maybe it's my teachers

Cos one just reads the textbook and doesn't know anything

I had a widow call up to cancel her dead husbands contract before and I got her to upgrade and give it to her grandkid.

And the other expects really high stabdards

Don't go Vodafone guys.

Like unrealistically high

Bad teachers 👎

Yea

My history teacher was a real nigga

Most of the teachers at my school are triggered unmarried women

Who think they're absolute top dogs

He was pretty left leaning but the man was apt for the job 100%

I didn't like history in school, but I've enjoyed it as an adult.

They'd all make good feminists tbh

My biology and chemistry teacher was a divorced woman who thought was the best lmao

Luckily when I was in school, identity politics were not yet popular.

yea I'm pretty sure most of my teachers don't even really know what's going on in the world

Theyre incredibly politically correct

I excelled in most areas, but I had a big head and dropped out which was a dumb mistake.

Well, I didn't drop out, I simply didn't graduate

I mean if you can find a good way to get cash, then drop out

Unless you have good reasoning otherwise...?

I work in the oil field, and make good money. But it has its drawbacks

Like ever having time off.

I'd hate working in oil

I'm more of a ceo kinda guy

Or be an IT man of some sort

It's great for someone who's single, but it's pretty awful for a family man. However, there are not a lot of other methods of making over 100k per year without a (good) degree.

YouTube was a viable option

But now it's going all sensitive n fake newsy

Or capital with which to earn more capital through business or investment

Yea

I'm scared I'm just gonna be some fast food or retail worker for life though

My goal is to save until I can figure out a better method of maintaining my lifestyle without foregoing time.

My biggest fear is having a garbage job for life

Go to college and earn a degree that actually has value.

It will be the best thing you ever did.

Yea

Or university

Absolutely

I just feel like I have big things to do in life

You don't seem the type to be interested in gender studies or communication.

I feel like im destined for a big impact on the world

Yea gender studies sounds weird

Business management, engineering; things like that will guarantee you a top 5% earning career.

Yea

Running a business is good cos you can set your own hours n stuff

And if you run something you love doing, then life just becomes kinda fun

Just be careful not to run into a faulty business model

Yes that's the scary thing lol

You may be best suited to run a business that doesn't interest you in the interest of market value

Just food for thought. Research is key.

Absolutely

I've been watching heaps of self help /life type videos on YouTube for the past 2 years

Pretty much setting goals, doing what you love, talking to girls etc

I say talking to girls Cos I used to be pretty awkward

Infact I still kinda am

Yeah. Oh, just about everyone is.

But it was clumped with the other stuff I mentioned

So yea

Especially when you're being pumped full of hormones.

Mhmm...

_relatable_

Lol

I'm doin much better though

The improvement in my life is crazy from those videos

That's cool, man.

It's good they're helping you meet your goals.

Yea thanks

And I need it too lol

I'm only 17 but it's good to start early

Just keep up your motivation when you're young. You won't be old in your thirties, but it's a lot more difficult to grind hard work, than in your twenities.

Twenties, even.

I will

Thanks man

You actually helped a lot

No problem, dude. It's great to see someone in high school with actual goals.

That's a rarity.

It's very rare

I don't usually tell people at school out of fear of looking crazy

So it's good that you listened

That's what the internet is for. Lol

The internet does what real life refuses to do. Heh

Indeed

I mean don't get me wrong though, I'm still pretty spooked about life

Still don't really know anything

But the more I learn now, the better off I'll be

Great attitude to have.

I think you'll be successful. Take that with a grain of salt, but that's my honest opinion.

No, Cthulhu needs nihilists and misanthropes

Abandon hope!

I kid.

You're doing well, buddy

Sarai is mine.

He's right, I've got the name tag and all <:RemLove:308812056994250753>

Heh

Yeah she's pretty much branded.

This has been a very successful night.

All from the confines of my office (my truck).

Its been pretty good for me too! Someone made me happy.

Same here I'd say <:RemEhehe:238039568287399936>
