you should have asked her out casually then

>you've never had α food?? it's the best! I know a great place on β ave, want to join me?

>ever been rock climbing? i can belay for you. of course it's safe!

>the bowling alley on γ st has great curly fries, want to give them a try tonight?

you will get shot down almost ever time, but not every time

this is a numbers game

>>39920

Should I really just jump right in? I just have the idea that I’ll just botch it, but I guess if you shoot for the moon and miss you land among the stars

>>39922

you don't want to cold start, but you should try to lead the conversation into a place where you can invite her to do something with you 1:1

so you ask her what she likes to do for fun, and if she says kayaking and you also like kayaking you can say oh we should go kayaking some time

>>39927

I guess I can try and I’ll try and let you guys know if your interested

>>39929

that would be great

if you hug your imouto post that result as well

I have a lunch box from Russe. I really enjoy its design. It has three compartments in case you have different foods. Unfortunately I rarely do, and when I do it's usually a cold food like salad that gets ruined in the microwave. But it's still a nice thought. The corners are rounded so it's easy to hand clean, and it goes in the dishwasher anyhow.

I like tupperwares in general but my favorite feature of this one is that it has a little valve that you can raise when microwaving, that way pressure can escape without you having to open the lid. This preserves much of the moisture because the opening is small, and food doesn't drip down the sides like what happens with ordinary tupperwares when I just balance the lid on top.

It's a very nice lunch box, too bad I'm too lazy to cook regularly so I rarely use it.

When working on something for a long time and getting kind of tired/burned out of it, I like the moment when you finally finish it and can move onto something different.

It also feels good to "reward" yourself afterwards by playing vidya or watching a movie or something, without feeling like you should be working.

>>39847

which? :s

>>39849

the recent venty ones, i need someone to calm me down and tell me It will be alright if that's a possibility

>>39851

I feel happy too. :)

>>39840

You could post in other threads. But you playing around anon

I play the trumpet, over 12 years now. Do you want me to play something on Vocaroo?

>>39794

So long as you don't find a video of fat people to play it over~

I played an alto saxophone for a little bit back in school.

I would like to learn how to sing decently and become a good producer.

I had an electric guitar but it got stolen unfortunately so I will get another one.

>>39742

I'm finding it hard to explain but try to listen and understand what they're saying. Say, while maintaining a calm and neutral tone and expression, nodding slowly while speaking (ie positive body language),

>so I'm an asshole? I'm sorry, friend. what is it that has made me an asshole?

Or some other means of turning it around on them while looking like the reasonable one. My therapist recommended this method.

>>39742

knife to the belly

Even the cappucino from gas stations and places? I just assumed they were loaded with sugar. Maybe I should give them another try.

I generally drink coffee, but if I need an extra boost, I'll drink some form of energy drink

I used to drink Dr. Pepper like a motherfucker in High School, been trying to ween myself off of soda in general.

Now I starting to drink either coffee or lemonade with light sugar depending on time day.

Every once and a while I'll enjoy a cold glass of milk to accompany coffee in the morning.

>>3974

>but if I need an extra boost

This is slow-release caffeine, which IME works much better than either coffee or energy drinks.

Speaking of coffee, those Michigan Cherry light roast or decaf beans from Meijer are excellent, especially with peppermint tea steeped in it.

What server do you play on, anon? I just unsubbed, but I had a lot of fun leveling to 70… it's such a shame that queues for all of the old content takes forever! I had to search around with a friend to get people to do Coil of Bahamut with because I wanted to do it properly.. and even then, everyone's ilvl is usually way higher than what the dungeon demands.

don't smoke, probs worsened my depression and microdosing doesn't do shit lol just go for the full tab.

I got a camera shoved up my pisshole.

Everyday I try to do something that puts me outside of my social comfort zone.

For instance:

-asking a dumb question in my lectures

-keeping a conversation going with an elderly person

-talking to girls (rarely… :( )

-organizing events for my friends who all went overseas to meet up again

-defending an old guy from a pugnacious black guy (very proud of this)

Even when I sperg out and do something super cringe, I feel amazing for the rest of the day. It's strange

I don't know, but working retail for a short while improved my social skills a little bit, If you have very poor social skills its gonna be tough to get yourself into social situations, but with a job that involves very minor interactions you get used to it quickly and there is less pressure than there would be if you were to approach someone in public.

Everyone needs to start with the following two books: How To Win Friends & Influence People and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Practice-practice-practice, don't just read and think "whoa that's so deep" then go right back to doing whatever you always have.

>>39629

Can confirm

Soc. Dem here. Most internet radicals generally mock and demean anyone who isn't them. Don't let them get to you. Keep your head and decide for yourself what you think is best.

>>39155

What's best for one's people can be what's directly worse for an individual's liberty. A policy that ensures purity by banning interracial marriages l, for example, directly infringes on the individual's right to choose who they marry and why. The ability for all freethinking adult individuals to actualize themselves in whatever way they choose, barring infringing other individuals, free from want and fear, is the prime goal of civilization, in my opinion.

>>39664

Maybe people don't want the responsibility of charting their own life. They rather have big state come and tell them what job to work, where to work, what to do, wear, think, eat and say.

Being lost is scary. These big ideologies solve everything for you and give you a framework to simplify the world. You don't even have to think.

So you work your crap job, get paid by daddy communist government or get thrown in the gulag.

>>39666

>get thrown in gulag

B- but anon, true communism has never been tried!

We shouldn't be kind to forced "memes", that's for sure.

Please refrain from giving my eyes AIDS, thanks.

NPC is as real as chad i.e. not real at all.

Even if you think about is selfishly:

If you're not /kind/ to the philosophical zombie, it will do more to corrupt your ability to be /kind/ to yourself and those more deserving it in the long run.

>>39599 understands that their slogans are inherently not /kind/ and must be treated accordingly.
