I worked full time and saved instead. Way better return

epic

I’m a trust fund babbu so college and grad school are paid for. Also, were not optional for me. Very strong family pressure.

Hey guys I think this conversation has run its course

@fgtveassassin @Alexander Pechorin

My dudes, I was in school for business.

I started one while in college, then dropped out of college to actually run the biz.

College is absolutely a waste of time if you are pursuing a non specific degree.

Paying college is literally just funding bad academic ideas unfortunately that subvert your own interests.

Your funding our enemies.

it looks like it would make a good bowl.

hello fellow normal people what normal activities did you do today?

@Jacob of course it depends on what you want to do, but me for example, I'm doing accounting, I'd rather know what I'm doing before I start doing someone's taxes or auditing a business

House of Cards is still on?

Wow.

Wow

That show jumped the shark in season 2 or 3.

I forgot that show existed

@Jacob got up at 4 to study, took two exams and then went to work

@Tyler0317 Did you get out of the military in 1996?

Game back to shitpost for a while then go to bed

I remember House of Cards was huge during 2016 election

I got up at 4, listened to an audiobook for an hour, and went back to sleep

Here come the 🚓

It’s still on after the Kevin Spacey allegations came out?

Yeah, but they got rid of his character, killed him off.

Was he not the main character

@Flint 2008

You guys ever see numberphile from youtube before?

Is it unhealthy for me to say that my primary goal in life is to help this movement? Keep in mind that part of achieving that goal is making sure I'm not constantly thinking about politics, so I don't go insane.

Going insane is very bad for the movement

nah that's great

I love numberphile, even though I'm too brainlet to understand half of it

@Jacob true but what do you think of my meme ^^

It's not unhealthy if your primary goal is to help change the values of modern western society.

@ThisIsChris it's pretty good

@Tyler0317 I was joking about the "bought a Playstation", like you bought the original, lol. I got out in '06 myself

thanks its one of my favorites

@ThisIsChris tremendous meme

@Big Iron Howdy

thank you @ophiuchus its pretty accurate to the numberphile guy

If Florida and Arizona turn blue, 2019 needs to be spent stacking the courts at breakneck speed.

hey

I concur

@Flint I think it was a ps3, or whatever. 😉

What field?

me irl https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/29/Count_von_Count_kneeling.png

Nice. Interested to hear how someone with an understand of math way beyond a layman’s thinks of that channel

OMG CUTE

I ain't clickin that

Is it just black science man with numbers

I’ll click it I’ve got 1750 vpns

He changed it!

I've been going to the gym regularly, largely to take my mind off the world in a healthy way. Remember, guys, going insane is VERY BAD OPTICS.

@fgtveassassin differential equations and functional analysis

Whomst

Insanity does sound like rather bad optics.

lifting 5 times a week is good optics

But insanity seems to be good optics for the left lol.

Off topic but I really hope I’m not afraid of the dark before I have kids

@Jacob I miss being able to get to the gym 5 times a week

Soon

@Selma nah, they just have enough institutional power to distract from it

I wasn't afraid of the dark until I listened to too much Missing 411 and now I have to go walk my trash out to the curb down a long drive way on a hill in the dark forrest

My power bill is stupid I’ve been sleeping with the lights on

Do y’all remember the show “are you afraid of the dark”

I tried explaining this to a friend a while ago

I wouldn't be able to sleep with lights on.

Did I miss anything in the fireside yesterday?

That show was terrifying, and the kids looked 20 to me, and now when I watch it they look 11.

It was generic early 2000s kids repertoire

he asked me, "what side wins, the one that does whatever it wants, or the one that doesn't?"

and I'm like wtf dude

I have a really vivid imagination. I’ll see the dark and my mind will just automatically create horrifying images

doing whatever you want never looks good

@ophiuchus from a math ph d background, numberphile is a good channel in that it gets people interested in math, but he pulls fast ones sometimes and sometimes says some things that aren't quite true, and doesn't explain his steps. But as far as introducing interesting topics for interested people it's pretty cool

The clown episode of are you afraid of the dark gave me haunting nightmares as a child.

Sleeping in the dark isn't even enough for me, I have to use a sleep mask. I want *void*

I remember the carousel episode a lot

okay I just have to say this

I love the Missing 411 stuff

really interesting

@NITRODUBS Same, isn't it great?

does anyone else think that "numberphile" is kind of a bad name because of... uh... what it sounds like?

same with "computerphile"

it just sounds a bit... wrong

@Selma @NITRODUBS The scene in the Dark Crystal where the little dog thing jumps out gave me nightmares. <:sad:366743316475281408>

@Flint Same.

I sleep with my head under the blanket

any *-phile* is pretty bad

Wowwww, the dark crystal. I remember the word 'gelfling'. Genndy Tartakosky was supposed to be making a sequel to that, but nothing came from that : (

@Flint ya I wonder if they thought it through when they named it

'X'-phile is bad optics.

@Jacob yes I thought that too

It is a stupid name but its better than the alternatie "Numperphillia"

about the -phile thing

@NITRODUBS if you're spending too much on power, get a solar lamp. They turn on when they don't detect light, just put it in your window

@Walt totally lmao. On one hand I’m good at art because of my imagination, on the other hand I have seen the face of Satan and the less I run the closer he gets to me.

I have a ton of trouble falling asleep. I pretty much can't if it's not in complete sensory deprivation. I turn off the lights, turn the temperature down to like 65, put on a sleep mask, turn on an external white noise machine, and then put on noise cancelling headphones with more white noise.

this is after ODing on melatonin

It's like calling someone who vapes a "vapist"

: /

Otherwise I'll just stay up for days

@ophiuchus Dude, same. We talked about this, remember?

lmao I do

I wonder if your sleep is as bad as mine

Vapists BTFO

Melatonin doesn't knock you out? Jesus man, I'm sorry.

At least you overdosed on melatonin. I had that spooky incident with NyQuil.

Should've just been Numba' Lova'

Melatonin made me sleep when I was younger like college age. Now it just makes me tired for days but doesn't actually put me to sleep

Melatonin gave me such vivid dreams, I had to stop taking it.

Lova's of Numba's

“Wait... this isn’t the VAPist meet up? Oh boy”

Melatonin is what I use now. Before, I used benadryl- which is a big no no to make into a habit

@Selma lmao dude Benadryl, NyQuil, etc, none of those knock me out

ya it's a bad habit

I just avoid them

I got to the point where I could take 4 benadryl and have it affect me so little I'd forget I took it

Benadryl is awful. In my experience, it makes me so dizzy that I fall asleep, then I wake up and can't feel emotions for 12 more hours.

be careful

this is very bad for you

I took a lot of NyQuil when I was sick and it made me have a very realistic dream of rats eating me

You can literally go on a trip with about 8 Benadryl

Damn

NOT THAT I HAVE EVER DONE THIS

I just read about it

can't feel emotions 👌🏻

Habitual use of benadryl is associate with long term cognitive decline

Drugs are bad, kids.

Drug are bad, m'kay.

@Jacob I knew a girl in highschool who joined the "700 club," which is taking 700mg of benadryl

I've seriously never done it I swear. I read about Benadryl trips and apparently they are NOT fun.

If drugs are so bad why can’t I protect myself from the rats when I’m sober METATRON

oh God

the typical little pink pills are 25, so this basically eating a box

she describes, to this day, feeling like her childhood happened to a different person and having no short term memory

@ophiuchus why did she do that?

My friend was shocked that I would take 10 mg of melatonin

Nitrodubs, I think you should find a puzzle box, solve it, and ask the cenobites that question.

depression

is 700mg benadryl a high?

he offered be these 1 mg pills and I was like, "dude, that's going to have absolutely zero effect on me"

This is a good conversation and I’m sad I gotta go to bed

She was (is) a really smart girl- it was sad to see her ruin her life

uhhh I don't think Benadryl trips help with depression

But good night friends

Based on everything I've read, Benadryl trips are absolutely not fun

She did it because depressed people will use drugs as a method of escapism

Goodnight, Nitro Dubs. Please have good dreams and not of rats.

it's not even a good form of escapism

i gotta sleep so i can DEFEND the ROCKIES tomorrow. ⛰ <:deye:359010025223618570>

apparently you just see spiders on the wall and all kinds of creepy stuff

What is this convo

You are aware that people do things they know are bad for them

it's about spiders @givemetheafd

Spook'd

For every action, there's an equal reaction.

spiders don't bother me

ain't no fan of cockroaches tho

Pathological fear of cockroaches

I've never seen a cockroach in any house that I've lived. Are they not northeast?

@givemetheafd nitrodubs was attacked by rats and metatron can't feel feelings....or something like that.

@ophiuchus The difference is that other drugs, while bad for you, can be "fun" to people. Like, alcohol is bad for you, but it makes you have fun. Cocaine, that kind of stuff, people gain fun out of it, even though it does bad stuff to them. Benadryl literally doesn't even cause short term fun. From the stories I've read, there's absolutely nothing fun about overdosing on Benadryl.

Let's not talk about dwugs guys : (

THIS MESSAGE IS NOT MEANT TO PORTRAY DRUGS IN A POSITIVE MANNER

>drugs
>IE general chat

I'm just saying that people get short term fun out of them, WHILE THEY ARE VERY BAD IN THE LONG TERM

For a while, my mom (who's a nurse) did home health (which is where people go to the houses of people who cannot take care of themselves to give them their daily medical care.) She took me with her once because I was a kid and she couldn't leave me home alone- she explicitly told me not to wander around this bedridden dude's house and I did anyway. I went into the kitchen and turned on the light- every single surface in the kitchen was covered with roaches, who scurried away from the light and made which is probably the worst sound I have ever heard.

The purpose is to discuss what motives people to do them

Cannot deal with roaches to this day.

I almost never use caffeine

Ophiuchus....that's absolutely viscerally terrifying.

>caffeine

@Nemets Only caffeine I consume is in tea

>drinking

>consuming things in order to sustain a somatic existence

be careful, tea causes kidney stones

Absolute shiggy diggy

I didn't drink coffee until this year (age 22) and I've never gotten more work done or been as productive.

>sustenance

@Jacob everyone in the south swills iced tea all day long

never drank covfefe

btw, I'm a poor college student, will I experience adverse health effects if I eat rice and beans every day?

Drinking caffeine before working out also gives you a huge boost of energy.

It's amazing.

is it gonna make me fat or something?

carbs aren't very filling and I always want more

@Jacob Yesn't

Jacob, carbs are generally not very good for you unless you're expending a lot of energy.

that's why keto was great

You want to eat a lot of fat and protein.

keto is so expensive though

meat is expensive, and also I don't really eat meat

Carbs built civilizations

just eat fruits and vegeble

Fact

Here's a dog singing. Enough of this silliness.
https://youtu.be/l76Fha7eiFo

Carbs are good if you use the carbs for energy, trashboat.

Most people do not.

Pup

@Jacob I pretty much lived on ramen noodles, mac and cheese and pizza throughout college, and i was like 145lbs wet (and 6'4")

@Trashboat isn't it kinda the opposite

I strictly eat Wendy’s

Same @⚡Clark⚡

I imagine our ancestors didn't have access to many carbs

Dave's Triple is the only /fit/ approved diet iirc

Bread, though?

In the medieval ages, the majority of people were serfs, so they ate porridge, bread, and mostly carbs.

huh

but I mean hunter gatherers surely didn't

No, they did not.

I fw some peasant food tho. Gruel is 🔥

then again, white people became agricultural pretty quickly

And berries are the healthiest fruit you can eat. Relatively low carbs typically.

I feel like we have this conversation atleast 2 times a week

first time I've seen it and I always read this chat

I mean we've talked about keto

but not the building civilizations stuff

i unironically did GOMAD when i was skeleton tier, it works

@Trashboat I'm sure lots of convos get recycled in an echo chamber <:teehee:381917632359563264>

🅱 eto

How do y'all feel about Brussels sprouts

I don't doub it

I didn't have them at all when I was a kid and just found them recently

🇰eto O'Rourke

@ophiuchus love 'em.

they're hella

I never really had brussel sprouts

don't boil them tho

Animal organs are the healthiest food you can eat...but no matter what I've tried to do with them, I just....can't.

they look like little cabbages right?

sauté them

They are tiny cabbages.

I also just recently found out that there's a vegetable called "collard greens"

lol

@Aaron O'regan

<:sad:366743316475281408>

@Jacob that's the most "the north" thing I've read in a long time

You ever wack a saw palmetto with a machete and eat the tender shit inside? Or is that a #floridathing
