Been a couple weeks since I posted in here, I'm not a very active gaf user but I try to keep up. I did one job interview for a full time job (which I need) but they never called back, so there's that I guess. I'm tired of having to look for decent work, all the jobs I apply for seem to require some level of experience which I don't have, so it seems the best I can do is apply to a different retail position that pays more and just hope I can get full time hours. I just want to go back to school so I can stop. My life is in a rut that consists of going to work, coming home, playing video games for the rest of the day and repeating it.

Write that down as your goal right now and set a time frame that you're going to do it in. Use affirmative and positive language in the present tense. Be specific. Make your goals BIG.

E.g. By June 2020, I graduate college with honors.

Then break that goal down.

Then break it down again.

There's always little things you can do in your daily life that will help set you down the path you need to be on.

And remember that goals, plans, and life all change. You're not stuck with one, two or however many goals for the rest of your life just because you've set a timeline or written down. You can change anything, especially as your true passions in life become clearer. But writting down and working towards little stuff will help you find that confidence and that hope you need to cycle out of the rut you feel yourself in.

Hey all!

A few days ago, I decided to give up on online dating. I've been trying for months, hoping to find someone who enjoys similar interests, and isn't scared of distance, no matter how close or far they are.

Most of the messages I receive are either very short, which leaves no room for a response, or too sexual, which I'm not interested in at all. And when I do have a conversation with someone, they lead me to a dead end. Giving shorter responses as time goes on, and telling me how "cute" I am every few messages. I try to start a new conversation/topic, but it's all short responses...

I guess it's not for me, haha. It's not easy to find someone who wants to talk about games, Steven Universe, and more, without getting sexual, haha!

Since everyone's posting pics of themselves, here's me

Try those apps for finding friends, not partners. Forgot the name of it but there should be at least one app. Sexual convos are pretty much unavoidable on a dating app (as are the single-word responses if the convo goes nowhere).

Got a job I start today and got another job interview lined up for Friday and another job agency wants to interview me. Why can't I hold all these interviews? Already way different and better than PR. Lol

Excellent!

 

[Zero²]

I'm just so anxious, seems things go wrong exactly when we need to focus the most. Well at least I know I gotta change, so I hope those I love have patience with me...

Yeah dating apps are the worst, but as long as you stick to your guns about what you want, you'll find it eventually.

Doesn't hurt that you're cute either

JESUS FUCK. How do you deal with the insane itch after shaving the junk area?

Little shaved prickly hairs just stabbing into me.

Thanks I'm a patient guy, I'll wait to see what happens. End up with someone or a doggo. I also want to have my own pet in the future.

And you're handsome yourself, my good man

Texted night club dude once more.

If no response I'll just remove his number from my phone. Hoping for the best though.

Fire starters have been trash after Gen 2. Anyhow, Pooplio and its evos are still way worse this gen.

Infernape was fine in my opinion. Just unfortunate typing, which for some reason they seem determined to stick with.

 

[CornBurrito]

Ah. Night club dude texted me back.

I'm so confused. He approached me at the night club. We exchanged numbers. He'll text about stuff. But asking if he wanted to grab coffee resulted in 3 days of silence.

I take it that just means he realized he wasn't that interested?

All this talk of PSVR has got me thinking I might pick up a GearVR to connect to my Note and watch "cinema". Anyone have any experience of that?

That Red Dead Redemption thread... what an unsurprising yet still disappointing display.

 

[Bladenic]

It's actually a great type offensively at least, but why they keep rehashing for the starters is beyond me. At least Grass and water starters have more variety.

Gurl not when Serperior and Sceptile exist. Venusaur too but I know people have a massive boner every time someone even mentions Charizard for some inexplainable reason.

What's going on there?

The same things that happens most of the time when diversity and inclusion is mentioned on GAF.

 

[umop_3pisdn]

My Kant professor asked me to talk about Buddhism in his world philosophy class, presumably because I talk about it with him incessantly. I'm kind of intimidated at the thought addressing a classroom full of people, but I think I'm going to do it.

I haven't really done that since the school term started. Probably because now I have an outlet for that that's actually sort-of appropriate.

I would never, but I am pretty subject to that kind of mental exhaustion that mostly affects lazy people.

I filled out my early voting ballot yesterday and voted NO for prop 205 in Arizona which would legalize weed, I will NOT accept the gateway drug to become legal in my state!

Massachusetts also legalizing weed ayy

Basically, the arguments aren't even based in facts at all just what media fed them on what the Wild West was.

BUT HISTORY/TV HISTORY

 

[TheAbsolution]

Basically, the arguments aren't even based in facts at all just what media fed them on what the Wild West was.

Also, just because a game is set in the past, doesn't mean it has to be 100% historically accurate.

 

[Via Purifico]

My thoughts exactly lol.

Also, just because a game is set in the past, doesn't mean it has to be 100% historically accurate.

This is true too and there's nothing wrong with speaking on that.

I find it funny how these same people have no problem with the most outlandish shit in a game but a minority as a cowboy is unfathomable.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

So there's no problem with playing as 1,000 year old dragons in their underwear that look like 12 year old girls but then realism and accuracy suddenly become important when it comes to black people? Nice.

Write that down as your goal right now and set a time frame that you're going to do it in. Use affirmative and positive language in the present tense. Be specific. Make your goals BIG.

E.g. By June 2020, I graduate college with honors.

Then break that goal down.

Then break it down again.

There's always little things you can do in your daily life that will help set you down the path you need to be on.

And remember that goals, plans, and life all change. You're not stuck with one, two or however many goals for the rest of your life just because you've set a timeline or written down. You can change anything, especially as your true passions in life become clearer. But writting down and working towards little stuff will help you find that confidence and that hope you need to cycle out of the rut you feel yourself in.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.
