A woman has as much sense in her head as an egg has hair.
Was talking with her and a couple other coworkers last week and the topic of books came up. I haven't read a book that's not a textbook in years, she really likes 19th/20th centuary Russian authors; so I preced to poke fun at her reading depressing communist stuff. Then says she can bring me a copy of Tolstoy's Hadji Murat to read. I told her I probably wouldn't read it, so shouldn't bother. This Monday she came in (she was on boarding a new person at my locaiton) and handed me the book. It's a short book so I read it in a couple days and let her know I'm done with the book and she can have it back. She says she's surprised I even read the book. I still have the book.
Just yesterday, I hear from one of the previous coworkers that she was really impressed I read the book already, and he was really emphasizing it. I work with him on a regular basis, he's on my team but only at my office a couple days a week and the other days at the main office, he's in his early 40's and little autistic so he may just have misunderstand her but fuck. I also told her Hadji Murat was really funny (it is, Tolstoy really hates Russian society and even when he's not being funny it's funny how much he criticizes the Russians), and according to the coworker she was really caught up on how I could think it was funny. Why even mention to him I read her book? Why bother giving me a book, you don't expect me to read?
after three days of travel and skipping through friday i arrived to japan at 5am
immediately came across eva
discriminated against coreans
helped a jii-chan lift his truck out of a hole
accidentally came across an obscure yet famous restaurant at a storage facility
otouto pressed the alarm button while trying to flush the toilet at said facility
went to meiji shrine and did the donation clap bow ritual for prosperity (not religious)
saw a streamer standing around receiving gifts from her fans at shibuya crossing
dad looked up loli
passed by a lady holding an otter in takeshita street (to take pics you had to enter the otter cafe (how did they get a capybara))
found stickers of newell's old boys that some legend pasted throughout the streets
now i can finally rest and read kissu
accidentally bluescreened my pc by flipping through webms
and then windows decided to restart twice after that for updates
Ever since I stopped eating outside whenever I get the slightest bit hungry when outside the house, I've been saving at least $20 a week! Feels good to save.
Visiting my family for a couple weeks and it's making me sad because I really, really don't wanna go back to my shithole apartment. I know I should just enjoy my time, but it's hard to not think.
had a pretty fun time at a cork shooting game
against my family's advice i gave it a try after asking a bit to the couple guys working there (he said hidamari was natsukashii) and the first shot was so good one of them went "運命のショット!" but of course none of my followups were good enough to knock the weird hanging sunglasses
the other guy suddenly decided to start taking shots at it too, to help me, and even paid for one of my tries
after the fourth batch i declared it was over, but the guy liked me enough to straight up gift me the snail i was aiming for
1500 yen total, so a pretty good deal, and a fun memory
also learned about a surprisingly specific word shopping for buddha figurines
¥仏の肖像、フィギュア
¥あ、仏像
and from then on everyone we asked knew what it meant

this happened because otouto asked me if the girls standing around dressed up giving out pamphlets were lolis, since he was mixing it up with gothic lolita, dad overheard and googled it
I boiled an egg and ate it today.
I slept nearly 24 hours and through dream delirium I came to the conclusion that my perfect game would be a mix of The Sims 2/3 and Illusion's games. In my mind it creates this life sim with not as much focus on the sex as Illusion games are, but still lets you act out most slice of life anime and lets you hit the whole scale of serious to goofy. Also, I believe my mind is telling me I have a thing for white and black girls because one of the girls in the dream was just Suigintou with slight modification.
While having lunch with extended family a few days ago my cousin told me about the software development business he launched, but what caught my attention is that he mentioned you can use Github to host static webpages for free. I looked into it a bit and spent some time yesterday trying to do so, but I've found so far that Github is a horribly and unecessarily convoluted website to use.
My goal is to end up with a web gallery for my photos and blog so I have somewhere to record the essays I've brainstormed in my head.

Using a command line interface thing seems even more complicated. I don't really know what I'm doing and am just trying to follow guides, but I've found that even when I do find the often hidden step-by-step ones, they provide no explanation for what to do if the guide doesn't work or there's an error in installing something. For example, I like this template
https://github.com/static-templates/blog
but the video guide I'm following only explains how to upload website files and I'm unsure what to use when I download from that repository. When I try to use Static to build the website I get errors and would prefer to keep it as simple as possible rather than installing a bunch of stuff I'm only going to use once. I understand that I'm the ignorant one here but it's still annoying. For now I'm going to use a different template that I have gotten working and play around with it in Dreamweaver. I'd ideally like to end up with a site that looks like this
https://www.chasestoneart
with no or minimal script bloat.

My cousin mentioned it's possible to get a free domain name by using Cloudflare, and I felt more confident given this is the method he used. Although he has alot of experience with this sort of thing while I have none outside of very basic HTML4 writing in high school. I might see if I can ask him for help the next time he visits.
Sorry for rambling
I'm fucking tired but the fire alarm's decided to start beeping AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Get ceiling birded, IDIOT!!!
I'm gonna go out for some chicken wings and get vodka on the way back home.
ate 1750 calories in one go (chips and ice cream)
I am starting to get my life back on track.
organized my keys. put old ones i don't use anymore on a ring, then put my duplicate keys on their own ring so that if i lose my main set of keys i'll be okay. also put little labels on some of them so i remember where they go to. prying the rings apart really sucked though. my thumbnails really hurt now. one's a little bloody :(
also, i went to home depot and got some keys duplicated, but FUCK those machines. why the HELL does it need to hold onto my key the whole time after it makes a scan? stupid piece of shit means i had to pay, wait for the mini lathe to finish the key, then the machine drops your keys on the ground without warning, and then you've got to do it AGAIN and AGAIN for each key you want to copy instead of it being designed sensibly where it lets you scan as many keys as you want and then queue them all at once

A number of things. I buy alot of second hand items where there is obviously only one available (rather than a store listing where they have a bunch of stock)
-Taking multiple days to place an order for an item for no particular reason
-The above, but then someone else buys the item before Zenmarket can
-Placing an order for an item at a given value, then by the time the order is placed it's gone on sale and they pocket the difference rather than refunding the credit
-Arbitrary refusal to order from certain sellers
-Slow customer service replies even for simple questions that shouldn't need referring to another department
A friend who also switched had previously complained to me that Zenmarket refused the use of a discount code for a webstore he wished to order from. I will give them however that they are good with packaging, tend to have good shipping rates and their website's interface is fairly well functional, but Japonica has just been better in my experience. Whatever you do, don't use Buyee, please.
I dunno any problems with Rabbit yet, but they have a competent UI. When I get a few more items in I'll start shipping them to me, but I don't think Booth provides discounts in the first place, or anything more than just clikcing to buy
You should reallly elaborate when you say something is good or not to use it.
Roadtrippin' to get some books from a bookstore
Thought the mission was a failure at first because I couldn't find what I was looking for, but it turned out to be a GOLD MINE. I ended up acquiring A LOT of books. Probably over a hundred. I'm not totally sure. It was like... 22 plus 47 plus 22 more and then like 10 and another 10 and then maybe like 30? I think that's how many, but honestly not sure. It's got to be like 200 kg of books.

spent the last week going outside, doing stuff, getting productive stuff and work stuff done, caught up on necessary emailing stuff, didn't jack off once during it or watch any anime
and now i feel fucking terrible and exhausted and I want to just sit down and do nothing forever. people are fucking LYING when they say that being productive and not having fun makes you feel fulfilled
>>141215
>people are fucking LYING when they say that being productive and not having fun makes you feel fulfilled
people come up with all kinds of lies to trick you into working, like that you'll get an eternal afterlife or be reincarnated so you shouldn't worry too much about wasting this life working

I once discussed a theoretical future (when we're all long dead) where everyone's needs are somehow met and nobody really has to work and can focus on hobbies and entertainment without worrying if it's profitable or not and how good it would be for niche markets if billions of people suddenly had infinite free time to create fun things for fun and not cut corners or change their design for more profit and they said it sounded like a dystopia not to have to work. Like, do you not have hobbies? Why do you want to work when you could replace the hobby time with literally anything? Even just taking a degree for fun would be "work". Some people cannot handle the idea of not being a slave and I don't understand. If they like work so much they could create their own work or join some group doing something.
That said it definitely feels good to do productive stuff I've procrastinated on for years. There are still so many things in my home I've neglected to do that I would love to not worry about anymore, but not enough that I will actually do it this year. Maybe next year...

>be reincarnated
reincarnation is even worse
what if you spend your whole life working just to get reincarnated into aNOTher life of working on this planet
there’s people out there like the new agers who say this is a Good Thing and something to look forward to, ridiculous
this is masochism

a TON of people I know don't do shit outside of work beyond watch TV and then random clips of shit on their phone
no job means having to find something to fill the remainder of their life with, and they have nothing to fill it with
kinda bleak, I constantly wish I had time to do personal shit
being self-directed is its own can of effort that these people are unwilling to put in (hell, I can even relate to this, there is a bunch of shit I might even want to do that I know I sure fucking will not be arsed to if I'm not given an external reason to do it)
these people are just not creative or self-driven
and it isn't even a particularly bad thing they aren't: outside of this hypothetical post-scarcity era, it isn't really sustainable to have everyone focus on personal projects
history has selected primarily for workers to follow and their purpose to be externally driven
but it is still kinda bleak to me that they're like that

This didn't end up happening. In case someone is interested: My senior aunt, 82, lives by herself in a smaller rural town with an older population about 90 minute's drive from where we live. She has mobility issues and has recently started to display some difficulty living on her own, for example her dining table was completely covered in ~30cm of junk to the point where it couldn't be used and is also having some hoarding and finanical issues. Last year, she was asked by a friend who coordinates an exchange student program - for students from all over the world, for example they're recruiting for European students currently - if she was willing to accomadate a student for 6 months; she said yes immediately. The hosting family recieves $300 a week and is expected to provide a nice home environment for the student and give them an opportunity to pursue their interests here - when looking at the current European student's profiles they each listed a sport, playing instruments and hiking or some other outdoorsy activity.
My mother is quite close with her sister and they talk once or twice a week via phone; she told her about the student and my mum told her in November that it was a bad idea and that she should rethink it. She didn't, and Yui arrived in mid January. Without going into too much detail, there is an enormous cultural and generational gap between my aunt and Yui. My aunt complained to my mum describing her as "rude" and "lazy" and was acting belligerent - an issue she had recently started to display even not related to this - when my mum tried to explain differences in culture and how the expectations of a teenager would be communicated. "I shouldn't have to explain" was the response and she ended up refusing to talk to my aunt any more about the subject. The exchange program consisted of 4 students from the same school - two were sent to live with single women and two were sent to live with families. The solo host of the other girl spoke to my aunt and shared similar complaints about her student, and apparently had an argument with the student to the point where the girl left the house.
We also discovered that my aunt was approached by her friend because they were unable to find enough suitable hosts - the request was made of her specifically. We think that she was motivated by a combination of not being able to say no to someone and the weekly payment, due to the finanical issues she's having. My cousin and other aunt visited twice during her stay and found she didn't speak very much English at all, then about a week ago my aunt spoke to my mum and said that Yui had gone to live with a different family, 2 months into the 6 month expected stay.
It's quite a sad situation, hopefully she's with a better family now with teen kids of their own. My aunt has never had a husband nor looked after children in any real capacity and I think it was wildly irresponsible of her friend to ask her to take on a student when she's already struggling to manage her own life, her friend being aware of that. The idea my mum floated was to volunteer to let Yui stay with us and take her to do all the things she would want to like hiking, sightseeing etc, but it's possible we would've needed to go through a process of being verified as a safe family which might have been difficult. From a purely selfish perspective it would've been nice to have a language practise partner too, but unfortunately we never got to meet once. Sorry for the wall of text.
