I brought a 25-pound dumbbell to my cubicle at work and made it one of my autistic desk toys. easy

also, just do squats. that's about the level of self-care I manage most of the time

ah, sorry to hear that

I'm technically somehow with a higher-status female who I orbited prior, but the relationship is fucked up for reasons. don't even know what to make of it because she specifically comes around when horny, sending mixed messages.

I pathologically act like it's shit testing because part of me doesn't want to leave... and it turns out I keep passing shit tests, but everything's pretty fucked.

I was in an online community with this person for a long time, then started talking to them a lot while NEET. things got fucked up for genuine health reasons, but that's been ongoing for some time now.

she makes it worse with bipolar shit-testy behavior much of the time, and I was never the most functional to begin with. SHAME, because the prospect was incredibly nice for a time.

I've dropped that I'm basically a third positionist and think the mainstream left is hijacked by international finance before. I might just start shoah questioning and see if she leaves over it. if not, well...

that is quite literally what she wants

It's an LDR and she's in and out of hospitals all the time and shit. like, there isn't even opportunity to go gorilla mindset

lol, there's a NAWALT bot?

mike cernovich used to advise rape rape rape rape, iirc

he's not wrong, but in my stupid circumstances it winds up being me acting like I've dumped her and her coming around horny at random.

weak will and that I'm presently a recluse atm

instincual urge to retain potential mommy gf

very true

Part of it is a psychological hangup on my part, can't deny it. The prospect pre her health getting fucked entailed me being a stay-at-home father, and when she on-and-off acts like that will be a thing, it's reeeeaaaaalllly hard to will breaking that off at any particular moment. and, I mean, I've gone like 5 months without talking to her... but then she comes back horny like nothing happened.

at this point I think she probably can't have children, but has cognitive dissonance over it and is messing with me in limbo

It isn't even that (that I think she would hurt herself). I just keep being passive about it since I'm just working a lot and existing online anyways. It does give me anxiety over time, though.

nah, power top's given about the best advice that could be

wasn't really looking for advice, just get tangential when stoned

that's the thing -- nothing's on hold. if I happened to meet someone I'd probably just go with it, but I've spent most of the past 3 years working 60 hours a week and sperg spiraling over shit online

to some benefit, I dropped a bunch of awful ideologies and learned real history, but I'm left in a very "shit, now what?" situation

does anyone play pocketmen sword and/or shield?

Could you possibly help me evolve a feebas?

just trade

the magnet school system I grew up in was a race laboratory, and since then I've had a lot of jobs with blacks

imma have 2 milotic like how lance had 2 dragonair

one an all-rounder, and another that boosts accuracy and uses hypnosis, blizzard, and hydro pump

one sec

I never use this shit and need to remember how to look it up...

I think we just need 4 digits and know what each others' names are in order to reject when we get others

148...9

I'm "lens" in game, like here

fucking hell, my joycon drift is going nuts

I just did now

what is your name in game?

okay, it flashed it for one second

ok

I didn't see your name before because my controls were going psycho

pokemon is good

objectively these games are shit

but I've been in a mood lately, so eh

it's still searching on my end

waiting on a new analog stick from Amazon. kinda outrageous, considering that my 3DS controls from 2011 still work fine.

possibly 100x the use-time

4 digits for private trading is incredibly dumb. I had to back out when I couldn't see your name because you always get other people doing this, and I didn't want to give a random my EV-trained feebas with an egg move

am I linked to you now?

where do you even see the name?

I always had one selected because it starts you in the box

fuuuuck

I forgot because I got pissed at my joystick

pne sec

searching again

I have a milotic with toxic in X. will it just erase the move when I transfer it?

it's so easy to raise niggas in this game I've just remade guys I didn't want to wait for pokebank for

yes, I really want that as well

and my ice vulpix

nah, not atm

thanks

I love using corsola unevolved with eviolite

I have sword, but got a friend with shield to give me a corsola early on. also got a ponyta from him in exchange for my starter.

never looked back because the starters are boring this gen. psychic ponyta is a far better one to have.

it's so tiny though

the switch's stick

Dragapult is pretty cool, few others stand out, though. my party playing through the game I used: galarian rapidash, galarian corsola, gyarados, ninetails, flapple, and butterfree

only one true gen VIII guy and 2 alternates

can't get dragapult until very late game, so yeah

I just like the ghost tail and the little legs

the head is borderline too unnatural, though

I like how chandelure is based on a manmade object, but it's still organic enough that it could have just evolved like that too

it's the only thing-mon I really like

very true

actually, clefkey is another, because its lore has it collecting the keys with its 2 tendrils that just happen to form a ring.

I just view this game as a storage platform and nursery for goons I can hopefully send to better games someday.

the poke-jobs, exp candies, and rottom rallying to hatch eggs all give it utility in that regard

@ガブリエル・チャン would you like a feebas, or any version exclusives you might be missing? Forgot to ask after we did those trade evolutions before

First thought was how its weird hollow fins form handles

Damn, first thing in the morning

It's about the bobba fett peoples or some shit?

Imagine an entire culture that's just this one job and a cool helmet design.

Prolly is based, but it just amuses me how an empire prop became a race of people

company I work for seems to hire literally anyone and is ridiculously lucrative for the low skill floor. don't suppose you'd happen to be in texas, arizona, or illinois?

dang, sorry to hear that

think of the thousands of literally-retarded black people around you who somehow have employment. maybe find out if there are temp services or anything they use.

got my thing through a temp service I found at random

they take some of your pay for a couple months, until you're hired for real, but you get an easy hookup with a job, when you could have spent those months making nothing. *shrug*

I'm just going to be a piece of shit getting stoned and playing pokemon until they actually fix the issue that's preventing me from working at home. I should have been doing so all month, but it just won't work. and they just can't fix it, forcing me to return to mentaly stifling hell office. like I'm being cosmically harassed. so fuck it.

I usually feel little desire to drink, but maybe there's something good around the house tonight...

yup

you can EV train a pokmon by giving them 50 vitamins and 4 feathers in sword and shield. I only just realized this a few minutes ago. although, the games also let you do it automatically over time too.

*8 feathers

post-game "max raid battles" with mandatory AI companions sans online play are possibly the most artificially difficult thing I can think of in a video game right now. I don't think that's hyperbole -- they're insanely poorly designed and sometimes just impossible due to the AI teammates not attacking and various unique conditions of ma raid battles necessitating that you connect with many attacks quickly.

(done ranting about this now)

I've burnt myself out on cooming and have no libido tonight. feels strange.

also the combination of constant shields and "he undid all stat changes with magic and without using a turn because he's yugi, bitch" means the optimal strategy in every single one is to dynamax first turn, attack, and that's it. you just attack with the best move over and over and hope the npc's do something.

a real man wouldn't let you talk to strangers online instead of sucking his dick.

oolacile

oh no
