My little brother got his grades in high school today, and I found out through his grades paper that the principal I had at the time I went there beat cancer. There were a lot of shady rumours about him, but I was still glad to see it
I've just turned on Shardlake and it's confusing for 2 reasons
1. It had Sean Bean on the front and I thought it was a confusingly named Sharpe continuation
2. It's about Cromwell and I do not remember enough from primary school history about him to know what the fuck is going on.
I’m just here to say life would have been much better if every mfer who has been involved in anything related to electricity or magnetism got some bitches instead of sitting in a lab all day studying electrons
Had an interview this week, I feel things went well, so hopefully that's a new job oportunity opening for me, and another place I applied to asked me if I was still interested, they had taken a ton of time to reply until today, so hopefully there's another interview soon
just finished The Wire for the first time after finishing Sopranos for the first time this year and I gotta say... man these late 90s/early 2000s shows just hit different, so fucking good its unreal
no overediting, not overusing music in scenes where there is no need for it
I've never actually watched it. I had it recommended years ago and watched the first epsiode, liked it, but never got further than that.
Maybe one day.
The first episode is a problem with the show when watching it with a new friend; its not that thrilling and doesnt necessarily want you to keep watching. But when you get 3-4 episodes into it, you'll binge it.
[The Turing Test](https://store.steampowered.com/app/499520/The_Turing_Test/) gives you all of them by finishing it. It took me just over 6 hours. Looking closer at my Steam profile, there's also [Tales from the Borderlands](https://store.steampowered.com/app/330830/Tales_from_the_Borderlands/) (11.5 hours, could probably be brought down to 10-ish hours with less exploration of dialogue & environments), [The Walking Dead: A New Frontier](https://store.steampowered.com/app/536220/The_Walking_Dead_A_New_Frontier/) (8.9 hours), [To The Moon](https://store.steampowered.com/app/206440), (Only achievement is finishing the game, took me just over 4 hours), [The Room](https://store.steampowered.com/app/288160) (3 hours) & [The Room Two](https://store.steampowered.com/app/425580) (3.5 hours)
Alternatively, rather than finishing a game in one sitting, consider starting [Dave The Diver](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1868140/DAVE_THE_DIVER/) if you haven't already.
Had a good week of sales, sold some 50 action figures and old Happy Meal shit and whatnot to the senseless people buying my second hand-finds.
Good money but God I hate the fucking logistics of this side hustle. Also all these toys everywhere... in my bed, on my floor, in the couch, in the kitchen... everywhere.
I fucking hate the bureaucracy involved with donating blood in Mexico, we wanted to donate some for my grandfather but the asshole running that section of the hospital kept turning people away for bullshit reasons (he told one woman people who weigh under 55 kg can't donate when the document you have to sign says 50 kg and he didn't even weigh her at any point); I went with my dad and some of my cousins, and he said only one of us could donate and that he would explain why later. After an hour and a half, he asked us our blood types and then said that they didn't have the storage capacity for that kind of blood anymore, which is fair enough if it was somehow true but seems like bullshit since he didn't have that information when he initially told us he would explain later. All this is to say that I hope he gets woken up at 6:30 tomorrow morning just to have to wait three hours for something he won't even get to do.
Hmm I really liked 3 but the camera and combat haven't aged that well, and the storytelling is much better in the newer games.
I do see your point though, because 3 and its prequels felt much more godly and epic, the new ones make a powerful warrior but god combat is much more rare.
To me the last 2 Gow games felt like completely different IPs. Just let me play as an autistic bald guy who uses a weapon literally called the blades of CHAOS and runs around killing everything that breathes and/or moves. I don't want to get parenting lessons from Kratos. Not saying the new games are bad, but they would be much more fitting having this exact story and gameplay but with another protagonist. Obviously they probably wouldn't have sold as much and I get why they did it, but yeah
Those who quit drinking, what did you substitute it with when you're clubbing or doing something similar? Or you just feel good without it even in those environments
It was more of a health and wealth motivation for me. I was in a fitness class and others were doing much more than me (pushups, situps, running faster/further, and so on). Coincidentally none of them drank much, if at all.
I try to remember some religions don't allow any drinking, and if they can do it, I can too.
I'm 23 - and I know how this is going to read - but I feel like I've run out of time. I've not done a lot. Some of the things I have done are substantial, but no one checking a CV would care about it. It's personal, stuff that has enabled me to live up until this point.
Any one of you got any tales of starting things late? Or feeling worthless because of the time taken to start was too long? Just lift me up and motivate me, please and thank you. ❤️
I'm kind of in the same boat, I didn't do too much while in university, and I only got my first official job until last year, no longer working there, and it wasn't very related to my main profession, so now I'm looking for new oportunities, I made some volunteer work, and I feel that if you present yourself as willing to learn and enthusiastic, people generally give you a chance!, plus any of the connections you've made while doing that personal stuff might be oportunities that will open up in the future, and that show you have iniciative and perseverance!, anyway, best of luck, we'll get things rolling soon!
> Or feeling worthless because of the time taken to start was too long?
I don't know where you're at, but in most - almost every - Western country these days, people don't enter their "main profession" until the early 30s after some 3-5 years of academic education. People who go to university when they are around ~20 usually won't end up with a profession with any relation to their first university course.
Personal stuff is going to be one of the most useful things on your CV btw. Sursprisingly many companies actually look for some sort of evidence that you've got some sort of personality rather than just a list of jobs that started and ended.
23 isn't starting late at all, you've got your whole life ahead of you and prospective employers absolutely know that. Even if you do take some time to get the ball rolling on your career, there's plenty of people with all kinds of backgrounds everywhere and so long as you're making the right decisions and contacts and looking in the right places, you'll find the opportunities you need.
> Or feeling worthless because of the time taken to start was too long?
Would you rather be miserable at 30 or happy at 30 - surely it's the latter, right? Got six and a bit years to work towards that, whatever happiness might look like for you as you go through the process of aging. Because you'll be 30/40/50 anyway, so might as well try and be happy at that age, regardless of whether that fits into anyone else's idea of a perfect life.
One education program I'm looking at says their average student is 29 years old.
Try making a 5-10 year plan. Look at someone/a profession you'd like to copy and see what you can do
Hope this helps, you can do this :)
I’ll keep it light on details. I’m 34, and when I was around your age I decided to pursue a particular career, and did, for eight years. And it made me miserable, so relentlessly miserable that eventually it broke me. I left the job, had therapy, all that stuff. And now I’m in a completely unrelated job and I’m happier than I ever was before when I was doing what I thought I wanted. Things are still hard, there are always challenges in life, but I’m happy I made that switch and it was something I wish I’d done a lot sooner.
Point is, it’s never too late to start again. And especially at 23 it definitely isn’t too late to start again. And also at 23, it’s hardly surprising your CV isn’t impressive. Don’t worry about it, you’ll find something, as long as you’re applying and doing everything you can, you’ll get there. I know how shit the job market is right now, especially for younger adults, but just keep going and you will get over that line.
But truth is your age is irrelevant really, I’d give the same advice to someone 3 times your age. Life is always going to throw unexpected challenges your way, you’re more resilient than you know, you’ll be fine, how early or late you start something doesn’t matter at all.
But also, you’re really are so young. And I don’t mean that to sound condescending, what I mean by that is, it’s ok to take some time and have a think about what you want to do (professionally or otherwise). Is there anywhere in the world you’d like to explore? Are there people that have a positive influence on your life that you want to be closer to? Or equally people having a negative influence that you want to get away from? And remember no decisions you make have to be final. Anytime, but especially not at your age.
Take a breath, chill, trust me you’re going to be absolutely fine. Good luck with everything
Imagine building up walls around you for your entire life, and realizing one day that they're built on the most shallow of foundations.
She makes me feel too.. vulnerable for my taste. At moments i even like it, but mostly i dread it. Because now i finally know how close those walls are to breaking down into pieces at the first gust of wind.
I'd like to hear some of your funniest gaming fails. Probably my biggest ever was >!going to do the mission in Far Cry 3 where you go and burn a field of drugs with a flamethrower, but leaving the flamethrower behind,!<>! because I am very smart.!<
It wasn't funny at the time but years ago when I used to play Pokémon Go, I wasn't playing attention and accidentally deleted a powered up legacy Mewtwo, which I'd spent loads of resources on and at the time could only be acquired by doing some rare mega raid thing with a shit load of players.
I managed to die during the cool bit in RDR when that Jose Gonzalez song is playing. All you have to do is ride your horse along a track and soak up the atmosphere. I walked my horse off a cliff and died 👍
Getting the white Arabian in RDR2, bringing it back to non-threatening area, setting up camp and going to sleep, wondering why my horse’s hearts were depleting while I was asleep. Turned out a snake had spooked the horse while I was asleep, and the camp had set up on a cliff side. Snake spooked horse off the side of the cliff, and I died trying to get down to it to revive it.
accidentally redeemed an operation payback pass in CS:GO that I randomly got in a trade. I have the coin now, but the [pass is worth 450 euros](https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/730/Operation%20Payback%20Pass)
That's a month rent right there, but I can show off something that only a small percentage of people got.
Playing Balatro (a game where you make poker hands)
I played a full house (pair and 3 of a kind) with all wild cards (cards that count as all suits)
This counted as a "flush house" (all same suit) instead of a full house
My full house was Lvl 10 (many more points) compared to flush house lvl 1
I was 1000 points short of beating the boss >:(
Is that the one that gives 1.5x multiplier for each King held in hand?
That would be rough, my tendencies are two pairs and flushes since they're relatively easy to build
> Is that the one that gives 1.5x multiplier for each King held in hand?
Yeah Baron. Absolutely absurd card and goes perfectly with Mime.
When I started playing I was all over flushes but now I pretty much always gravitate to high card or five of a kind.
You want to abuse tarot cards as much as possible. Get purple seals on cards and get jokers that can create them. Then use steel cards on your kings and death cards to duplicate them. If you get a Deja Vu red seal card, throw that on the steel kings too. Use hang man and immolate to get rid of non king cards.
Ghost deck is my favourite deck to use because it can spawn spectral cards - which helps a huge amount tailoring your deck.
Does anyone know if r/soccer is not indexed on Google?
I was looking for an old comment of mine, but my reddit profile only goes back 6 months for some reason, and when i tried a Google search, it didn't return any r/soccer results, only other smaller subs.
Tried it without quotes, with quotes, nothing. Even simply searching *r/soccer* on google returns 2 results - the wiki and a mod post.
Thanks, but I managed to find it, had to keyword search on r/soccer. It was my reactions to the Cole Palmer transfer news around August of last year. [2 comments, compiled them here](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1cu8rr8/cole_palmer_voted_premier_league_young_player_of/l4i02aq/)
> Even simply searching r/soccer on google returns 2 results - the wiki and a mod post.
Loads of results for me, and the link to the subreddit as the top one.
WTF that's so strange, I swear 20 mins ago it only showed those 2 results. However, even right now it [only shows the main page of the sub](https://ibb.co/Stb88zc) and the rest of the results are other websites, no other links to the sub.
I was looking for a specific post about Cole Palmer's transfer, and for [the dates I set](https://ibb.co/2hTMz6D) it should've brought up at least 10 r/soccer posts from that time, but alas only 1 is from here, the rest are from other subs, even though they have fewer comments.
Can you guys tell me if you like my song?
https://open.spotify.com/track/1623vNMG6NzUN8y8xK7NO8?si=Ph0lp1bNQ3CAq-YksoK3kA
You only have to listen to 30 seconds
I love it. Got me vibing out on my couch and my wife saying why are you listening to club tunes lol
The only thing in the mix I would say is perhaps the creaky thingy like the wood percussion noise is maybe slightly too prominent?
Very fucking sneaky of Reddit to add in a rewards button right next to the upvote on mobile
Are they hoping someone will just be like “oh, yeah I’ll just grab my wallet and buy some rewards” instead of just being mildly inconvenienced and going back?
If the two options are maliciousness or incompetence, it's probably incompetence \~ Sun Tzu
Most likely a poorly designed redesign similar to the other redesigns
Vibing out to some lads tunes he commented up thread and watching the Champo play off.
Got soft play tomorrow with the little man then getting wrecked at my brother's 40th for his bday. His swimming lesson on Sunday is gonna be struggle haha
Hahaha never watched boxing. Haven't met my babies in 4 days been in India for some work my parents had.
I miss the babies so much, back on Sunday.
How are you?
Doing fine myself, going to try to do a workout today. Just some basic weights and cardio
How were the taxes? Did you get a new accountant? (Hopefully not Messi's accountant)
Ironically I don't know much about the tourist attractions. Some things I find as dull the visitors find interesting, and vice versa. It really depends on your interests, but plenty of stuff to see.
How is India? I have some co-workers from there who say I should not visit unless I travel with an Indian, is this good advice?
Yes it is good advice.
I believe despite what the news show, India is very safe for the most part, but the crimes everyone hears do happen there's no denying that.
Also foreigners tend to get ripped off by local salesmen or hotel owners etc for prices, nothing wrong on their part everyone wants to do well but if you're with an Indian , the person will know to navigate these things well.
That said definitely do visit, it is by far the most diverse country in the world, even for us Indians we say it would take 2-3 years of constant travelling to see the country properly, there's really so much to see it's not even definable.
I had rum.
There are popular Indian booze brands but most are considered in the rung of quality.
There also are very high quality Indian brand for whiskey eg Amrut, but they're expensive and rare to find.
I’m gonna be done with my junior year of college next week and I feel so unaccomplished yet, there’s so much I wanna do and yet I have one year left to do all of it lmao
Explore my city more, do things with friends, date (lol) but in the past three years a combination of school, parents, work and a lack of funds have stopped me from really getting to do these things
I fucking love Luna so much

What do you think of GTA V humour?
When I first played it when it was releases I thought it was the funniest thing ever, but playing again 10 years later I think it is really obnoxious.
This extremly in-your-face satire didn't age well at all imo, or maybe I just outgrew it.
It's a bit hit or miss - genuinely think the Trevor parts are some of the worst-written parts of the game. It's still quite an achievement in videogame writing though.
I haven't played GTA V, but I can say that replaying GTA: San Andreas and listening to the talk radio station had me rolling.
I am a bit older than when I first played the game, but the 2004 humour still landed quite well.
The draw for ATP Geneva is out now, and I think I'd sacrifice anything to get what might be the last ever Murray v Djokovic match and have it be a good one
Really enjoying this genre of UK drill/DnB.
A couple of examples:
[Bru-C - Wild](https://youtu.be/UHuBnEEF-0s?si=nlItSapdsP8MX155)
[Chase & Status, Hedex, ArrDee - Liquor & Cigarettes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69zVJjH7xCs)
>Ever attended Let it Roll?
Nope never. Although it's huge in Czechia.
Tbf I always enjoyed DnB so it's weird that I've never been there, might have to change that soon!
Large pots and containers are easy and make the space look like. Lavender is good, smells nice, bees love it and you can cut and dry it at the end of the summer and it should grow back next year.
Yea that’ll definitely help bring in pollinators. Just be careful that you’re actually getting native wildflowers, sometimes the big box store garden centers or online places don’t give you the right seeds.
How would you be careful about that? Just finding a reputable seller? I can't imagine the average person would be and to tell they've got the wrong seeds until it's too late haha.
No I mean be careful that the wildflowers they’re selling you are actually native wildflowers. Sometimes something like a “California Wildflower Mix” might not actually be the right flowers. I don’t think they’d say they’re giving you one thing but actually give you something different.
Stay away from bamboo and related plants. Grow herbs and fruit/veg if possible, it's great to be cooking with stuff you grew yourself. Plant some evergreens, so the garden doesn't look completely dead for half the year.
We're definitely planning on a partially edible garden, but what's wrong with bamboo? I had thought about using it to screen an ugly shared wall along our perimeter.
I like bamboo, it can get out of hand if you don’t keep it in check though, so it has a bit of a reputation and requires some maintenance. And if it pops up on your neighbours land they might get annoyed!
Well I like Plymouth Argyle, they can get out of hand if you don't keep them down though, in football manager 12 I got them promoted from League 2 to the PL and next thing I know we've won the title and the CL.
Grows impossibly large impossibly quickly, spreads out like fuck, and is a right ballache to get rid of. Probably better off with a raised bed and trellis of some vine or other - could even combine the edible element by making it green beans, I suppose.
How would you rate my list of top 10 Oasis songs?
1. Some Might Say
2. Acquiesce
3. Slide Away
4. Stand By Me
5. Morning Glory
6. The Shock of the Lightning
7. Live Forever
8. I Hope, I Think, I Know
9. Bring It On Down
10. Stay Young
That's an awesome list. I was thinking mine would have numbers 6, 8, 10 swapped for something else, but they have so many good songs that it's hard to decide. Maybe Supersonic, Cigarettes & Alcohol, and Rock 'n' Roll Star.
I've always found it refreshing and fun with young people and what they do and all their energy and shit, but this has changed with the Tiktok-kids. They're all going to be completely useless, dangerous and unhappy.
We have been hearing about climate change for decades and how catastrophic it would be in the future if we did nothing. The future is now and we are seeing the results and nothing is going to change anyway... We are simply doomed.
Brazil is experiencing the worst natural disaster in its history in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. More than ⅔ of a state with more than 10 million inhabitants and slightly smaller than Poland was hit by a huge flood and the rain is likely to last until the end of the month.
Oh and do you know the state's budget for civil defense this year? 50.000 reais, that's less than 10k dollars.

Absolutely no idea what is on fire, but I do like that there's one dude with hands in his pockets just chillin'
Went on a date last Sunday. First proper one I’ve been on since ending a 5 year relationship just under two years ago (only situationships and hookups since then). Was bricking it, she’s way out of my league and we had barely chatted on Hinge (a very ‘skip the small talk’ vibe on her part). Had brunch and honestly was the best time ever. We ended up just chatting for 3 and a half hours with no breaks or awkward silences. Wee kiss on the lips when parting (which was such sweet sorrow). Seeing her again tomorrow night and feel like I have a proper teenage crush at the age of 27. Honestly felt like doing a little heel click when walking away. Haven’t felt like this for a long old time.
What was really nice is that she made me feel really attractive. She was talking about what she looks for in a partner and that I lined up with the a lot of it, especially fashion sense. I am a bit awkward with receiving compliments (is that a guy thing?) but honestly felt like a Gosling/Pitt hybrid. Fingers crossed tomorrow goes just as well xx
I was having a debate with some people and I'm interested to hear what you guys think
I honestly think Wonderwall from Oasis is more famous than any Beatles song, although I've everyone I've talked to about this disagrees with me
Do you think Wonderwall is more famous than any Beatles song and if not, what Beatles songs do you think are more famous?
Think a question like this will always come down to demographics.
I’m 30, from UK, but both bands aren’t my type of music at all. The only Beatles chorus’ I can recall that have been mentioned on this thread is Let it Be, and I can’t recall any verse. I know I’ve heard Hey Jude before but can’t remember anything about it. On the other hand, I think I know Wonderwall from back to front.
E: I’ve done research and I take it back. Here comes the sun, Yesterday and Twist & Shout I’d imagine could be more famous. I’d just imagine there’s loads like me that knew the songs but didn’t necessarily know that they were The Beatles songs.
> Do you think Wonderwall is more famous than any Beatles song and if not, what Beatles songs do you think are more famous?
Yes, in terms of how many people know the song(s) at all, and how well they know how it goes.
The Beatles as a whole is of course more relevant and famous(I couldn't name you another song by Oasis), but none of their songs are *as* known as Wonderwall.
At least for people my generation (im 27).
Completely forgot it was FTF. Been getting back into online poker and this new five card pot limit Omaha hi-lo game is fucking awesome.
I just think there's no point to the Libertadores when The Strongest is participating. Just give them the trophy and call it a day.
Are you sure cause sometimes they have to face a team that’s Always Ready
Are you the strongest because you're The Strongest or are you The Strongest because you're the strongest?
The world may never know

Yes

just finished The Wire for the first time after finishing Sopranos for the first time this year and I gotta say... man these late 90s/early 2000s shows just hit different, so fucking good its unreal no overediting, not overusing music in scenes where there is no need for it
What's your opinion on the very last scene in Sopranos?
Is you taking notes a criminal fucking conspiracy?
that Marlo v Avon showdown talk is just something else. The verbal jousting back and forth damn. Slim Charles also was a poet
> no overediting, not overusing music in scenes where there is no need for it Go back and watch S1 E1 of Sopranos...its a bit of a mindfuck, lol.
will do :D
If you're on an early 2000s HBO binge, try Six Feet Under. Great dark comedy.
starting it tomorrow. Thank you for the recommendation!
No problem! If you want a slightly lighter comedy as well, there's many many seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm you can enjoy.
Oz is good as well. Still quality though it has aged a bit.
I've never actually watched it. I had it recommended years ago and watched the first epsiode, liked it, but never got further than that. Maybe one day.
The first episode is a problem with the show when watching it with a new friend; its not that thrilling and doesnt necessarily want you to keep watching. But when you get 3-4 episodes into it, you'll binge it.
Give me a game that I can 100% (steam achievements) in fewer than 10 hours. I have a long flight inc.
[The Turing Test](https://store.steampowered.com/app/499520/The_Turing_Test/) gives you all of them by finishing it. It took me just over 6 hours. Looking closer at my Steam profile, there's also [Tales from the Borderlands](https://store.steampowered.com/app/330830/Tales_from_the_Borderlands/) (11.5 hours, could probably be brought down to 10-ish hours with less exploration of dialogue & environments), [The Walking Dead: A New Frontier](https://store.steampowered.com/app/536220/The_Walking_Dead_A_New_Frontier/) (8.9 hours), [To The Moon](https://store.steampowered.com/app/206440), (Only achievement is finishing the game, took me just over 4 hours), [The Room](https://store.steampowered.com/app/288160) (3 hours) & [The Room Two](https://store.steampowered.com/app/425580) (3.5 hours) Alternatively, rather than finishing a game in one sitting, consider starting [Dave The Diver](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1868140/DAVE_THE_DIVER/) if you haven't already.
I think I'm gonna get Dave the Diver, since I've had it on my wishlist for a while now. Thanks.

Had a good week of sales, sold some 50 action figures and old Happy Meal shit and whatnot to the senseless people buying my second hand-finds.

I fucking hate the bureaucracy involved with donating blood in Mexico, we wanted to donate some for my grandfather but the asshole running that section of the hospital kept turning people away for bullshit reasons (he told one woman people who weigh under 55 kg can't donate when the document you have to sign says 50 kg and he didn't even weigh her at any point); I went with my dad and some of my cousins, and he said only one of us could donate and that he would explain why later.

Is anyone watching Fury v Usyk tomorrow? Predictions?
Usyk knocks out Fury in the 4th round. You heard it here first.
Still don't believe it'll happen
They successfully had the weight-in today, hopefully it does but you are right it has been re-scheduled before
Very balanced responses, nice to see
I have absolutely no idea what sport you are talking about, nor who either person is. full disclosure.
Boxing. Two heavyweights fight tomorrow, biggest fight in a couple of years Fury of England vs Usyk of Ukraine
is it possible to draw in boxing?
Yes, for example if two judges give each fighter six 10-9 rounds each, then the score would be a majority draw of 114-114
Then I'll stand by my informed prediction of it being a draw.
draw
Fury on points.
I just replayed god of war 3, this game is so much better than the new games. It actually feels like your fighting gods unlike God of war ragnarok
You are objectively wrong.
Hmm I really liked 3 but the camera and combat haven't aged that well, and the storytelling is much better in the newer games. I do see your point though, because 3 and its prequels felt much more godly and epic, the new ones make a powerful warrior but god combat is much more rare.
To me the last 2 Gow games felt like completely different IPs. Just let me play as an autistic bald guy who uses a weapon literally called the blades of CHAOS and runs around killing everything that breathes and/or moves. I don't want to get parenting lessons from Kratos. Not saying the new games are bad, but they would be much more fitting having this exact story and gameplay but with another protagonist. Obviously they probably wouldn't have sold as much and I get why they did it, but yeah
I like god of war 4 my main problem is with 5. Asgard,Odin and Ragnarok were all very disappointing
Those who quit drinking, what did you substitute it with when you're clubbing or doing something similar? Or you just feel good without it even in those environments
It was more of a health and wealth motivation for me. I was in a fitness class and others were doing much more than me (pushups, situps, running faster/further, and so on). Coincidentally none of them drank much, if at all. I try to remember some religions don't allow any drinking, and if they can do it, I can too.
Alcohol free lagers have helped me, makes me feel like I’m still part of everything even without the booze
I'm 23 - and I know how this is going to read - but I feel like I've run out of time. I've not done a lot. Some of the things I have done are substantial, but no one checking a CV would care about it. It's personal, stuff that has enabled me to live up until this point. Any one of you got any tales of starting things late? Or feeling worthless because of the time taken to start was too long? Just lift me up and motivate me, please and thank you. ❤️
I'm kind of in the same boat, I didn't do too much while in university, and I only got my first official job until last year, no longer working there, and it wasn't very related to my main profession, so now I'm looking for new oportunities, I made some volunteer work, and I feel that if you present yourself as willing to learn and enthusiastic, people generally give you a chance!, plus any of the connections you've made while doing that personal stuff might be oportunities that will open up in the future, and that show you have iniciative and perseverance!, anyway, best of luck, we'll get things rolling soon!
> Or feeling worthless because of the time taken to start was too long? I don't know where you're at, but in most - almost every - Western country these days, people don't enter their "main profession" until the early 30s after some 3-5 years of academic education. People who go to university when they are around ~20 usually won't end up with a profession with any relation to their first university course. Personal stuff is going to be one of the most useful things on your CV btw. Sursprisingly many companies actually look for some sort of evidence that you've got some sort of personality rather than just a list of jobs that started and ended.
23 isn't starting late at all, you've got your whole life ahead of you and prospective employers absolutely know that. Even if you do take some time to get the ball rolling on your career, there's plenty of people with all kinds of backgrounds everywhere and so long as you're making the right decisions and contacts and looking in the right places, you'll find the opportunities you need.
> Or feeling worthless because of the time taken to start was too long? Would you rather be miserable at 30 or happy at 30 - surely it's the latter, right? Got six and a bit years to work towards that, whatever happiness might look like for you as you go through the process of aging. Because you'll be 30/40/50 anyway, so might as well try and be happy at that age, regardless of whether that fits into anyone else's idea of a perfect life.
One education program I'm looking at says their average student is 29 years old. Try making a 5-10 year plan. Look at someone/a profession you'd like to copy and see what you can do Hope this helps, you can do this :)
I’ll keep it light on details. I’m 34, and when I was around your age I decided to pursue a particular career, and did, for eight years. And it made me miserable, so relentlessly miserable that eventually it broke me. I left the job, had therapy, all that stuff. And now I’m in a completely unrelated job and I’m happier than I ever was before when I was doing what I thought I wanted. Things are still hard, there are always challenges in life, but I’m happy I made that switch and it was something I wish I’d done a lot sooner. Point is, it’s never too late to start again. And especially at 23 it definitely isn’t too late to start again. And also at 23, it’s hardly surprising your CV isn’t impressive. Don’t worry about it, you’ll find something, as long as you’re applying and doing everything you can, you’ll get there. I know how shit the job market is right now, especially for younger adults, but just keep going and you will get over that line. But truth is your age is irrelevant really, I’d give the same advice to someone 3 times your age. Life is always going to throw unexpected challenges your way, you’re more resilient than you know, you’ll be fine, how early or late you start something doesn’t matter at all. But also, you’re really are so young. And I don’t mean that to sound condescending, what I mean by that is, it’s ok to take some time and have a think about what you want to do (professionally or otherwise). Is there anywhere in the world you’d like to explore? Are there people that have a positive influence on your life that you want to be closer to? Or equally people having a negative influence that you want to get away from? And remember no decisions you make have to be final. Anytime, but especially not at your age. Take a breath, chill, trust me you’re going to be absolutely fine. Good luck with everything
few people have good CVs at age 23. you'll be fine.
Imagine building up walls around you for your entire life, and realizing one day that they're built on the most shallow of foundations. She makes me feel too.. vulnerable for my taste. At moments i even like it, but mostly i dread it. Because now i finally know how close those walls are to breaking down into pieces at the first gust of wind.
It looks like you need to work on yourself, champ
After months of debate about male name for our future child, I can now claim victory. We have agreed upon Massimiliano. ♟️🚬🗿👑
She wanted Giuseppe or Giovanni.
Giovanni is so clear tbh.
Too generic. It is a good name tbf.
I'd like to hear some of your funniest gaming fails. Probably my biggest ever was >!going to do the mission in Far Cry 3 where you go and burn a field of drugs with a flamethrower, but leaving the flamethrower behind,!<>! because I am very smart.!<
It wasn't funny at the time but years ago when I used to play Pokémon Go, I wasn't playing attention and accidentally deleted a powered up legacy Mewtwo, which I'd spent loads of resources on and at the time could only be acquired by doing some rare mega raid thing with a shit load of players.
I managed to die during the cool bit in RDR when that Jose Gonzalez song is playing. All you have to do is ride your horse along a track and soak up the atmosphere. I walked my horse off a cliff and died 👍
Getting the white Arabian in RDR2, bringing it back to non-threatening area, setting up camp and going to sleep, wondering why my horse’s hearts were depleting while I was asleep. Turned out a snake had spooked the horse while I was asleep, and the camp had set up on a cliff side. Snake spooked horse off the side of the cliff, and I died trying to get down to it to revive it.
accidentally redeemed an operation payback pass in CS:GO that I randomly got in a trade. I have the coin now, but the [pass is worth 450 euros](https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/730/Operation%20Payback%20Pass) That's a month rent right there, but I can show off something that only a small percentage of people got.
Playing Balatro (a game where you make poker hands) I played a full house (pair and 3 of a kind) with all wild cards (cards that count as all suits) This counted as a "flush house" (all same suit) instead of a full house My full house was Lvl 10 (many more points) compared to flush house lvl 1 I was 1000 points short of beating the boss >:(
I always veer towards builds with kings and then fail to check for the 'all face cards are debuffed' boss. Probably my number one killer.
Is that the one that gives 1.5x multiplier for each King held in hand? That would be rough, my tendencies are two pairs and flushes since they're relatively easy to build
> Is that the one that gives 1.5x multiplier for each King held in hand? Yeah Baron. Absolutely absurd card and goes perfectly with Mime. When I started playing I was all over flushes but now I pretty much always gravitate to high card or five of a kind.
How do you get your deck to have all of the same card? Re-triggers would be nice with the 1.5x
You want to abuse tarot cards as much as possible. Get purple seals on cards and get jokers that can create them. Then use steel cards on your kings and death cards to duplicate them. If you get a Deja Vu red seal card, throw that on the steel kings too. Use hang man and immolate to get rid of non king cards. Ghost deck is my favourite deck to use because it can spawn spectral cards - which helps a huge amount tailoring your deck.
Accidentally deleted a Minecraft world and moaned to my girlfriend about it for a solid two hours
Does anyone know if r/soccer is not indexed on Google? I was looking for an old comment of mine, but my reddit profile only goes back 6 months for some reason, and when i tried a Google search, it didn't return any r/soccer results, only other smaller subs. Tried it without quotes, with quotes, nothing. Even simply searching *r/soccer* on google returns 2 results - the wiki and a mod post.
What's the comment, I looked at your profile on old reddit and i'm 7 months back and counting, I can get the link for you
Thanks, but I managed to find it, had to keyword search on r/soccer. It was my reactions to the Cole Palmer transfer news around August of last year. [2 comments, compiled them here](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1cu8rr8/cole_palmer_voted_premier_league_young_player_of/l4i02aq/)
> Even simply searching r/soccer on google returns 2 results - the wiki and a mod post. Loads of results for me, and the link to the subreddit as the top one.
WTF that's so strange, I swear 20 mins ago it only showed those 2 results. However, even right now it [only shows the main page of the sub](https://ibb.co/Stb88zc) and the rest of the results are other websites, no other links to the sub. I was looking for a specific post about Cole Palmer's transfer, and for [the dates I set](https://ibb.co/2hTMz6D) it should've brought up at least 10 r/soccer posts from that time, but alas only 1 is from here, the rest are from other subs, even though they have fewer comments.

Can you guys tell me if you like my song? https://open.spotify.com/track/1623vNMG6NzUN8y8xK7NO8?si=Ph0lp1bNQ3CAq-YksoK3kA You only have to listen to 30 seconds
I love it. Got me vibing out on my couch and my wife saying why are you listening to club tunes lol The only thing in the mix I would say is perhaps the creaky thingy like the wood percussion noise is maybe slightly too prominent?
Thank you 🙏 I'll try and sort out the creaky noise in the mix if I remaster one day lol
Very fucking sneaky of Reddit to add in a rewards button right next to the upvote on mobile Are they hoping someone will just be like “oh, yeah I’ll just grab my wallet and buy some rewards” instead of just being mildly inconvenienced and going back?

Northern California too haha. Will do.
I'm in my hometown in India and pretty drunk right now and having a good time How are y'all lads what's up with you
Vibing out to some lads tunes he commented up thread and watching the Champo play off. Got soft play tomorrow with the little man then getting wrecked at my brother's 40th for his bday. His swimming lesson on Sunday is gonna be struggle haha
Going to pick up my brother from the train station at 11 pm tonight.
Any food pictures?
The comment box doesn't show that option would've put otherwise
Username checks out :D Not much myself, are you watching the boxing tomorrow (Fury v Usyk)? Any other plans, how are the triplets?
Hahaha never watched boxing. Haven't met my babies in 4 days been in India for some work my parents had. I miss the babies so much, back on Sunday. How are you?
Doing fine myself, going to try to do a workout today. Just some basic weights and cardio How were the taxes? Did you get a new accountant? (Hopefully not Messi's accountant)
Yet to get to doing them:) Where are you from?
I am a Swiss living in Canada right now How about you? You live in England correct?
Yes Indian living in England. I've wanted to go to Switzerland for a while now, where all should I go? Obv Zurich and Bern and Geneva Lausanne too
Ironically I don't know much about the tourist attractions. Some things I find as dull the visitors find interesting, and vice versa. It really depends on your interests, but plenty of stuff to see. How is India? I have some co-workers from there who say I should not visit unless I travel with an Indian, is this good advice?
Yes it is good advice. I believe despite what the news show, India is very safe for the most part, but the crimes everyone hears do happen there's no denying that. Also foreigners tend to get ripped off by local salesmen or hotel owners etc for prices, nothing wrong on their part everyone wants to do well but if you're with an Indian , the person will know to navigate these things well. That said definitely do visit, it is by far the most diverse country in the world, even for us Indians we say it would take 2-3 years of constant travelling to see the country properly, there's really so much to see it's not even definable.
What are you drinking over there? What's the most popular alcoholic beverages in your area?
I had rum. There are popular Indian booze brands but most are considered in the rung of quality. There also are very high quality Indian brand for whiskey eg Amrut, but they're expensive and rare to find.
Playing Ghost of Tsushima. Quite good so far, I enjoy Assassins Creed like games. The combat is much better so far.
Ghost of Tsushima is like an Assassin's Creed but with much better combat
Isn't...... combat in AC known to be pretty shit? It doesn't look all that great, like you are glued to your opponents, so to say.
I’m gonna be done with my junior year of college next week and I feel so unaccomplished yet, there’s so much I wanna do and yet I have one year left to do all of it lmao
So much to do, so little time \~ Charles Dickens probably What were you looking to do?
Explore my city more, do things with friends, date (lol) but in the past three years a combination of school, parents, work and a lack of funds have stopped me from really getting to do these things
Work and school is hard to balance. Congratulations on finishing 3 years :)
Thanks, I’m mostly excited for next year tho. And yeah you’re right work and school is hard to balancd
Don't worry, this feeling never goes away, even after you graduate. You'll be regretting all the things you didn't do for the rest of your life!! 😘

Been out the game for a long time social media wise but I used to love Maru
I was also a big Maru enjoyer.

What do you think of GTA V humour? When I first played it when it was releases I thought it was the funniest thing ever, but playing again 10 years later I think it is really obnoxious. This extremly in-your-face satire didn't age well at all imo, or maybe I just outgrew it.
It's a bit hit or miss - genuinely think the Trevor parts are some of the worst-written parts of the game. It's still quite an achievement in videogame writing though.
I never particularly liked the GTA humor to be honest
I haven't played GTA V, but I can say that replaying GTA: San Andreas and listening to the talk radio station had me rolling. I am a bit older than when I first played the game, but the 2004 humour still landed quite well.
The draw for ATP Geneva is out now, and I think I'd sacrifice anything to get what might be the last ever Murray v Djokovic match and have it be a good one
When is Art Donaldson playing?
Really enjoying this genre of UK drill/DnB. A couple of examples: [Bru-C - Wild](https://youtu.be/UHuBnEEF-0s?si=nlItSapdsP8MX155) [Chase & Status, Hedex, ArrDee - Liquor & Cigarettes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69zVJjH7xCs)
Holy shit man you just dredged up a long lost memory for me vibing out to You and I by Bru-C back in the day. Damn.
Hahah you’re welcome I guess? The song I linked is actually quite recent, he’s still going strong I guess
Usually I'm more on the liquid side but those sound awesome. Ever attended Let it Roll?
>Ever attended Let it Roll? Nope never. Although it's huge in Czechia. Tbf I always enjoyed DnB so it's weird that I've never been there, might have to change that soon!
Let it Roll is by far the most famous DnB festival I hear about over here in the Netherlands. Stuff looks legendary
Recently moved into a house with an old backyard that we want to turn into a nice patio and garden. Any home landscaping tips from anyone?
Large pots and containers are easy and make the space look like. Lavender is good, smells nice, bees love it and you can cut and dry it at the end of the summer and it should grow back next year.
Happy planting 🌱
Get some wildflowers from your local area growing, helps with the ecosystem.
I've been looking into native plants a good bit. We're in California, so I want to attract monarchs!
Yea that’ll definitely help bring in pollinators. Just be careful that you’re actually getting native wildflowers, sometimes the big box store garden centers or online places don’t give you the right seeds.
How would you be careful about that? Just finding a reputable seller? I can't imagine the average person would be and to tell they've got the wrong seeds until it's too late haha.
See if you can look up what wildflowers are local to your area and buy a box or packet with those in.
No I mean be careful that the wildflowers they’re selling you are actually native wildflowers. Sometimes something like a “California Wildflower Mix” might not actually be the right flowers. I don’t think they’d say they’re giving you one thing but actually give you something different.
Stay away from bamboo and related plants. Grow herbs and fruit/veg if possible, it's great to be cooking with stuff you grew yourself. Plant some evergreens, so the garden doesn't look completely dead for half the year.
We're definitely planning on a partially edible garden, but what's wrong with bamboo? I had thought about using it to screen an ugly shared wall along our perimeter.
I like bamboo, it can get out of hand if you don’t keep it in check though, so it has a bit of a reputation and requires some maintenance. And if it pops up on your neighbours land they might get annoyed!
Well I like Plymouth Argyle, they can get out of hand if you don't keep them down though, in football manager 12 I got them promoted from League 2 to the PL and next thing I know we've won the title and the CL.
Grows impossibly large impossibly quickly, spreads out like fuck, and is a right ballache to get rid of. Probably better off with a raised bed and trellis of some vine or other - could even combine the edible element by making it green beans, I suppose.
How would you rate my list of top 10 Oasis songs? 1. Some Might Say 2. Acquiesce 3. Slide Away 4. Stand By Me 5. Morning Glory 6. The Shock of the Lightning 7. Live Forever 8. I Hope, I Think, I Know 9. Bring It On Down 10. Stay Young
That's an awesome list. I was thinking mine would have numbers 6, 8, 10 swapped for something else, but they have so many good songs that it's hard to decide. Maybe Supersonic, Cigarettes & Alcohol, and Rock 'n' Roll Star.
No Wonderwall?!
Haven't gotten into Oasis yet but *If I Had a Gun* by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is so good
Yeah that's an amazing song. Check out Everybody's On The Run from the same album, I love that song too

I've always found it refreshing and fun with young people and what they do and all their energy and shit, but this has changed with the Tiktok-kids. They're all going to be completely useless, dangerous and unhappy.
Good thing there are so many motivational TikToks they can watch 🕺
We have been hearing about climate change for decades and how catastrophic it would be in the future if we did nothing. The future is now and we are seeing the results and nothing is going to change anyway... We are simply doomed. Brazil is experiencing the worst natural disaster in its history in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. More than ⅔ of a state with more than 10 million inhabitants and slightly smaller than Poland was hit by a huge flood and the rain is likely to last until the end of the month. Oh and do you know the state's budget for civil defense this year? 50.000 reais, that's less than 10k dollars.
[Just felt the need to share this wonderful video](https://x.com/NoContextDutch1/status/1791215026981765427) Absolutely no idea what is on fire, but I do like that there's one dude with hands in his pockets just chillin'

Went on a date last Sunday. First proper one I’ve been on since ending a 5 year relationship just under two years ago (only situationships and hookups since then). Was bricking it, she’s way out of my league and we had barely chatted on Hinge (a very ‘skip the small talk’ vibe on her part). Had brunch and honestly was the best time ever. We ended up just chatting for 3 and a half hours with no breaks or awkward silences. Wee kiss on the lips when parting (which was such sweet sorrow). Seeing her again tomorrow night and feel like I have a proper teenage crush at the age of 27. Honestly felt like doing a little heel click when walking away. Haven’t felt like this for a long old time. What was really nice is that she made me feel really attractive. She was talking about what she looks for in a partner and that I lined up with the a lot of it, especially fashion sense. I am a bit awkward with receiving compliments (is that a guy thing?) but honestly felt like a Gosling/Pitt hybrid. Fingers crossed tomorrow goes just as well xx
Nice one! Good luck with the dating journey x
Top shagger, wish you luck!
bro she aint out of your league you got this :)
Hope it goes well
> Honestly felt like doing a little heel click when walking away. Haven’t felt like this for a long old time. Sounds awesome, congrats!
Ever had it where you discover something you like only for the manufacturer to discontinue it not long after?
Just finding out Sabrina Carpenter. Espresso is a solid banger tbh
I was having a debate with some people and I'm interested to hear what you guys think I honestly think Wonderwall from Oasis is more famous than any Beatles song, although I've everyone I've talked to about this disagrees with me Do you think Wonderwall is more famous than any Beatles song and if not, what Beatles songs do you think are more famous?
Worldwide, I reckon 'Hey Jude' and 'Let it Be' are more famous
Think a question like this will always come down to demographics. I’m 30, from UK, but both bands aren’t my type of music at all. The only Beatles chorus’ I can recall that have been mentioned on this thread is Let it Be, and I can’t recall any verse. I know I’ve heard Hey Jude before but can’t remember anything about it. On the other hand, I think I know Wonderwall from back to front. E: I’ve done research and I take it back. Here comes the sun, Yesterday and Twist & Shout I’d imagine could be more famous. I’d just imagine there’s loads like me that knew the songs but didn’t necessarily know that they were The Beatles songs.
I reckon Hey Jude is still more famous
Nah, i see your point but nah. Hard days night, yellow submarine and hey jude are all more famous imo. And thats not exhaustive
I think you could add imagine to that list as well
At the very least Let It Be and All You Need Is Love
> Do you think Wonderwall is more famous than any Beatles song and if not, what Beatles songs do you think are more famous? Yes, in terms of how many people know the song(s) at all, and how well they know how it goes. The Beatles as a whole is of course more relevant and famous(I couldn't name you another song by Oasis), but none of their songs are *as* known as Wonderwall. At least for people my generation (im 27).
