It's ok, but a lot of friends are only around because they want reinforcement for their behavior. Like in OP, they only show up for bad habits like drinking, smoking, playing vidya, going to get goyslop, etcetera
Same. I had a lot of friends by the end of high school, kept close with a few good ones first few years in college, then I got blackpilled by /LULZ/, cut everyone off, and went nearly a decade without talking tk anyone besides occasionally family members and coworkers. Now I regret it so much. Making new friends is hard at this age and reconnecting with old ones is awkward.
you got to find the goldilock zone on personality
have you tried having a personality? on the opposite end, if your personality is too strong, have you tried toning it down some?
i was a huge splerg in high school, with zero friends. during uni learned and practiced toning things down, and now actually have a few friends i talk to every other week and see in person every 3-4 months.
The last time I thought I made a really good friend he accused me of stealing. My most recent friend is being held in prison without bail. Worst part is I really need the money he owes me lol
Can there be a universal rule on the internet that you're not allowed to mention someone going to prison without saying what they're charged with? Do tell, anon
Well the weird thing is I can't find his name in the local prison database to check his charges. According to his brother who he doesn't get along with he was arrested for an old drug possession warrant that he failed to go to court for. Apparently his mom called the police because he and his girlfriend were tripping balls.
I also left property over there and I need to try to get it without his mom freaking out on me
I can't imagine he didn't catch multiple possession and paraphernalia charges.
I hope he's doing ok because many of the jails where I live can be pretty awful. I'll try to visit him this week. Hopefully his dad put money on his books.
>he was arrested for an old drug possession warrant that he failed to go to court for.
Would make sense he wouldn't get bail in that situation, I was assuming he murdered someone or something haha. Good on you for planning to visit him, I'm sure he's feeling very alone right now
Sorry to disappoint you. Nothing so exciting.
His mom is giving me some bullshit response about I can't come over there to get my property until she finishes evicting him and she has to be present when I'm there. Sounds like she's trying to fuck me for some stupid reason.
If you had a girlfriend they would either be dreaming of fucking your girlfriend, trying to fuck your girlfriend, or fucking your girlfriend. Most friends wouldn’t help you if it felt like a hassle, and they would kick you while your down. True friends are extremely rare. Most people with “friends” don’t have friends. You aren’t missing out.
Why didn't you message him again when they broke up?
if they're not together he's not beating her anymore. You can apologize even if you did nothing wrong just to get the relationship back
Who cares lmao? What, do you think the world is just a bunch of men trying to ‘have connections’ with eachother? Like we’re all just DYING to be the closest of friends but we apply ‘tough love’ by ignoring our friends when they ‘break the rules’? Fuck off lmao you understand nothing
>best (online) friend for years >starts showing signs of losing it, starts accusing me of things I'd never do, ghosting me for a month to test me >one day he gets mad for god knows what, says "I have to go" >he immediately launches a single player game on steam >never talked to me ever again >even the common friends in our group have been keeping their distance from me since then >I can only assume what kind of made up stories he told them
All I’m hearing is you can’t handle someone choosing not to associate with you anymore. Like you can’t even handle someone fucking off without daydreaming they’re hurting you somewhere. ‘He stopped talking to me for a month ‘to test me’’ get over yourself you narcissistic baby, a guy doesn’t want to talk to you, so he doesn’t, and you take it as him trying to trick you into talking to you again. Get over yourself you fucking woman
Oh I'm handling it great. This guy during the last year has been insufferable to say the least, to the point of making me consider to cut all bridges with him and never look back the moment he started ramping up the drama. I only tolerated him for the sake of the group, because the other guys were some of the best guys I've met online. If I knew beforehand how he would turn out, I would have turned him down on day 1. It was like day and night how more pleasant my every day life became when I knew this guy was far off gone away from me, leeching attention and energy from some other poor lad.
Really because it sounds like he was the one who stopped talking to you, and when he stopped talking to you before you literary thought it was a trick. The guy stopped talking to you and you’re out here acting like you’re the one who let him go? Funny
yeah bro it really sounds like he's not living rent free in your head lmao
handling it great keep it up champ
Seems like I struck a nerve, probably my story hits a bit too close to home with some of you. Wish you luck, you will need it as you are growing older and older and making temporary friends to feed your narcissism will become harder and harder.

My story is that a guy I was considering a close friend for years, within the span of 1 year, due to his mental conditions, changed his personality and behavior completely. Went from a cool dude who would chill with me and my friends to a schizo with an attitude of a controlling girlfriend that would accuse me of hiding from him on purpose if I didn't answer his messages for 10 minutes when I was afk taking a shit. But sure, keep throwing the blame on me, maybe it makes you feel better when you look at your friends list of 200 people you haven't talked to for the past 10 years.
My best friend is a slight narcissist and I let him know it when he's acting like a bitch. He's the kindest dude I've ever known and my brother, but I really hope he grows a little more in that department.

I told my best friend that he is a whore after he has stolen 100$ from me. I havent spoken to him since (before that i used to "lend" him money, probably 2000$ in total to fuel his drug habit)

I fucked my best friend (female) 4 years ago in a drunken christmas 3some (me and her husband spitorasted her) and then he got upset and demanded she cut all ties with me. Then 4 months ago she hit me up again like nothing had ever happened.
Fucking bullshit.
4 years ago I went to a wedding with my best friend (female) and slept in the same hotel and my gf was so insanely jealous she spent the next 2 years seething and going berserk any time she was mentioned. Then she got pregnant and used the situation to leverage me into never speaking to or seeing her again, I stopped texting her on the sly only about a year ago but it feels like half of myself just got sliced out of my life and I’ve been a husk since. The worst part is she’s exactly the kind of petty cunt who would 100% push for full custody with limited visitation if I left and started reconnecting again. Now I get why people wish their exes were dead. They can rule your life if you give one fuck about seeing your kids.
Then he's not your friend much less your best one. I drank the kool-aid and messaged a 'friend' even though we didn't talk for months and he pretented to say he was going to call me to hang out sometime. Obviously, never did. Fuck it. I'm over it now.
It still pissed you off though. Seeing a guy you recognize, handing him your number and he tells you he'll totally msg you to catch up. Never does. It's ok to feel pissed about that. Some people are just shitty. There's no need to lie to someone like that.

Same man, I know the feeling. My best friend from the ages of ~14-25 decided all he wanted to do was play drums and would pretty much only hang out with other musicians or hit me up to "chill" and just play drums in front of me. Was super flakey on top of that and would make plans all the time only to ditch last minute or not even respond. I kind of involuntarily went no contact with him after being flaked too much and just giving up. But I saw him recently for the first time in five years and hanging out with him then was fun, so I decided to let bygones be bygones and invite him out. The fucker didn't respond to my text asking if he was still around. I should have known to expect it, but I was fucking furious that after all the effort it had taken me to stop being mad at him, I wanted to forgive him and got burned in the exact same way. Some people just feel no sense of responsibility toward others, and if you no longer provide the feeling of friendship they're looking for, you're no longer worth anything in their eyes.
Sounds exactly like my brother. He's literally a drummer and is exactly how you described. I case it is him don't worry he's super flakey with family as well.
Did you grow up in the Boston area?
Either way, I wouldn't be surprised. Every city in the world has these circles of musicians that orbit the actual "scene." Guys who may even have some actual talent, but through sheer laziness or inability to work with others never turn it into an ongoing project, so they just endlessly "jam" with other guys in the same situation while living a pretty sad, uneventful existence otherwise.
I know he acts that way with other people, so it's some consolation he doesn't think I'm particularly worthless, but overall it's just sad he can't see outside his immediate interests to maintain serious relationships.

Living with your mother in your 30s and making a few hundred dollars a month from a part time job is a pretty sad existence, yes. I know for this website it's about par for the course, but when all the other friends from the group are now getting married and saving for the future, it's hard not to feel that his situation is sad in comparison. It's not even so much that I disagree with his choices themselves; I think if he wanted to devote himself to music and play live shows and record albums while living a materially meager existence, I would respect that. But for him to be "working on projects" (that never get finished) and "thinking about starting a band with some guys I've met" for over a decade now with nothing to show for it is in my eyes not a fulfilling life. If his mother dies and he no longer has her pension, he's fucked. If he got sick and had to go to the hospital, he'd be in debt for the rest of his life. He just lives the sort of life that it pains me to imagine what future it will lead him to 20 or 30 years down the line. On some level I am still bitter, but I also feel really bad for him that he put himself in this situation that will be difficult if not impossible to climb out of.

At one time I would have agreed. But once you hit 28-30 a line is crossed between “doing what you love” and “wasting your life”. Like in high school I knew a kid who was big into theater. He loved it and swore he was gonna become an actor one day.
So a few years pass and he’s still in our hometown, doing theater and feeling pretty good about it because he’s “in the industry” and doing what he loves. He has his theater friends and shows and everybody else agrees he has the talent to do really well.
Then a few more years pass and we’re n out late 20’s. Most people are still partying and already settling for mediocre jobs, but he still loves the stage and he’s still waiting tables because he needs the flexibility for his real passion.
He’s been talking about moving here or there constantly. It’s perpetually over the horizon but he’ll be in off-broadway or something in a few more years.
Now a decade has gone by. He only hangs out with theater people now, but they’re all much younger than him. No gf. No progress in either his passion or his side job. But he’s still a great actor. Just a bit better than a few years ago.
Then a few months ago he starts acting weird. He’s pushing 30 and never moved, never risked trying to even audition at a bigger theater in a nearby city. Never advanced in his side job. And now he’s flat out hostile to inquiries about his “big move”.
It’s sad. You can see he’s going nowhere but he’s completely deluded himself into thinking either he’ll get up and start his life one day or that nothing will ever change and he’ll always have friends around who also do nothing with their lives while sharing the same kind of passion. I imagine drummers are particularly susceptible to this ego trap as they’re in high demand among musicians; making it easy to feel “busy” or “important” without ever really taking risks or developing as a person.

The only projection I see is this post right here.
I’m guessing something about what he said touched a nerve?
My best friend (Male) and my best friend (female) just got married. I was a groomsman but I think he's still peeved I banged her in high school and again in college. I also slept with his sister so it's all getting awkward.
My best friend is dating a girl I used to fuck and he recently brought it up for some reason, it was extremely awkward. I didn't really say anything. He's been dating her for 4 years and never said anything before.
Was it immediately after getting married or getting into a serious relationship?
It’s possible he misses you like hell but he’s mindfucked by a female who doesn’t want competition for affection.
>haven't talked to best friend in a few years >he randomly calls me a few months ago >know from lurking social media he recently graduated medical school, is a doctor and got married, had a kid on the way and pretty much mogs me in every way because I failed out of school and became NEET >think "I'll call him back later when I feel like talking" >think about it every day but never do >eventually come to terms with the fact that I'm not going to do it
To be honest I think I'd rather he just remember me fondly as I was rather than the failure I am today. It's better this way. Maybe someday I'll get my shit together and feel worthy of contacting my peers again, but for now it's not happening. Sometimes I kinda wish I had just died back then, so I would be a good memory in people's heads.
What if he's able to help you out in life? He sounds like a good guy for reaching out to you after all this time and would be a great connection to have. Maybe he's just looking to get away from the high expectations of his life and it will actually be a relief for him to hang out with someone he doesn't have to put on airs with. You should really give him a call, anon. It's not something to worry about
Had a 4 hour phone call with my old friend today, we keep in contact semi regularly but havent chat like that in a long time. I was appreciative, nice to have an ally and a "constant" in your life that you share history with. Like sitting at a dark souls bonfire. Inface its sus this is the first thread I saw today, another weird nod from whatever powers this reality. Bon voyage niggas.
I have a new circle of close friends now but 6 years ago i decided to stop calling/msging first and i lost 90% of them kek
It's a really good test
My current circle is much different, they always check on me ask for hangouts etc
Best friend in college mogged me in confidence but I mogged him in height. His ego was such that he got offended when I started hanging out with other guys to go camping and hiking over the summer before senior year. Long story short he pulled every manipulative power ploy to lower my confidence. Right when I started making headway with the first crush I had the balls to ask out. He set me up on a casual date with one of his side hoes for the express purpose of testing me. Very long story short I ratted his cheating ass out to the gals he was pretending to be exclusive with and haven’t looked back since. If only I had realized sooner that Kentucky asshole was a manipulative user I would never have been friends with him.
I had a manic episode a year ago and lost my best friend, who abandoned me during it. Then I lost my next best friend (an upgraded older friend) to some weirdness on his part, and then my latest best friend (an upgraded newer friend) went schizo and blocked me after I called him out for being schizo. Now I'm on the search for a new friend, because I'm all out.
What did this manic episode include? I can't blame anyone for leaving someone having a manic episode or weird personality issues. It's like standing next to a wild animal with no impulse control.
Ya well it's impossible to have a conversation after a while and it feels like you need to pander to a delusion. People don't want to be friends with someone who isn't mentally their equal. Just based off my now late brother who passed away from drug abuse. He was bipolar and would be nice for 3 days, then weird and annoying for day 4 to 6. Then he'll explode violently screaming and it's like the most absurd accusations. Then he'll ask you to forget and move on after while he forgets the awful shit he did to you.
It's because you're an aggressive retard that drove me and all your other friends away. All you had to do was not be an autistic asshole. Have fun with your mail order bride.
Look I really thought about it when Chris Chan went to jail but dude it isnt worth it. You bailed for puss Im not your baby sitter anymore I need one myself
Truman grew up with Marlon since childhood, even in his state of questioning reality, Marlon was a persistent presence who gave no other indication of sketchy behavior. Odds are, Marlon was specifically dispatched to help Truman at various times with far more minor problems well before any of this so Truman just - in an almost Pavlovian manner - immediately associates Marlon with some sort of emotional oasis.
Explain people like the Diaz brothers who smoke pot during training, 24/7 even, yet can go 5 rounds in a fight while maintaining the same high cardio pace the whole time. My good friend is a pro boxer, heavyweight, that smokes weed, and he's 2 fights away from representing Australia in the next olympics while also maintaining a 5-0, 4 KO record in pros.
Meanwhile, I'm an alcoholic that drinks either 20 beers a day (or 3 bottles of cheap wine depending on how much cash I have) and a tobacco smoker - former kickboxer, used to come first in school carnivals for freestyle swimming that now gasses and gets sluggish after 7 minutes of throwing strikes. I still have high explosive strength but my cardio is no longer here.
I wish I had friends

>you have to accept the loss of control >I don’t like that
You need it. The whole point of smoking weed is doing it in small amounts that just let you accept that life in general is beyond your control, then occasionally larger amounts that basically simulate a minor health event/death and teaches you to accept your own mortality and to let fear pass because ultimately you’ll be okay no matter what happens. If you die you’re dead and nothing can hurt you, if you’re alive then you should just be grateful to be alive.

Exactly, Chronic Health Problems.
Fortunately in my state it's legal so all those health problems went away immediately.

If you’re married and over 25 it is. The fun is getting to hang out with no women around, get a small but respectable buzz (and 2-3 will do because you almost never get to drink), and talk to your best friend, which really shouldn’t require any beer at all to be fun.
You seriously underestimate how miserable the average married man is. Your wife is like a boss with none of the boundaries a work environment traditionally enforces.
I'm an alcoholic and I just saw my best friend texted me one week ago. I feel sad because I actually consider him my best friend. But He doesn't know I'm an alcoholic. I guess I read his message while drunk and forgot about it. I guess he must be sad or disappointed. Ive been drinking for 3 months straight. Every single day
Last time I watched this movie I wondered how Truman's interactions with the actors playing his friends and wife would go down after he leaves the dome. Like would those actors try to get in touch because they spent so much of their lives with Truman? Would he eventually want to see them again since they're all he knows?
As soon as I leave work I immediately start drinking hard liquor until I fall asleep. I then wake up the next morning, go into work, and do it all over again.
When they were worried that Truman was figuring out his life was a TV show why didn’t they introduce him to methamphetamines? His figuring it out would have been seen as paranoid delusion and it would have steered the show towards Truman spinning out of control and then seeking help for his drug addiction and ratings would have skyrocketed as well as solving the problem of him realizing his life was a TV show. Holy shit TV executives are morons.
what a post. you don't even deserve to get checked for those digits. go outside

You wouldn’t know what good tv was if it were raping your face. A Truman strung out on meth and making a harrowing comeback would be the greatest season of The Truman Show.

I'm a 3rd year eng student but I think this is something anyone could do that sounds fun to me

I hope you can too
I would definitely read it, I like folk horror and that x files episode where ((satanists)) are sacrificing children kek
I haven't read many books in that subgenre either
how do you go about learning to fix electronics?
Start with learning the basics like how ohm's and kirchoffs laws work in a circuit first of all, then get a soldering iron and a multimeter.
YouTube has plenty of good follow along beginner projects that you can get into for very cheap (<$10), as a starting point for learning to work with circuitry.
There are also category specific electronics books that have follow along projects on sites like libgen
as a preface I would learn to read circuit diagrams, logic symbols, try to become familiar with some common types of circuits and methods for simplification (things like thevenins and Norton's equivalent circuits which are handy ways of solving issues on paper)
But I wouldn't say it's an absolute necessity, it'll just make life easier when you're learning to put something together.
once you can build some simple common configurations it's a lot easier to identify issues when looking at an actual busted piece of equipment

Self-publish on amazon.
Make a youtube channel about it, read excerpts, commission art for it, advertise it on other creators channels.
You'll most likely get an equal amount of money that you put into it that you'll get out of it.
But from those proven sales, you can market yourself to a publisher as an established author with guaranteed sales.

Ghosted my main ‘friend’ about a year ago, best decision of my life. Sick of being pulled into these BPD traps where you get these panicked desperate texts at 2am and then when you respond he just starts attacking someone or even you for no reason. It made sense when he was depressed but with his recent success I thought he’d calm the fuck down, apparently this self-pitying mania is just his idea of run. And if you ignored him or didn’t take the constant bait, you’d wake up in the morning with literally 16 consecutive texts that say ‘nagger’ (we’re both white btw) over the course of three hours and he’s literally bitching like how dare you ignore me when you’re sleeping. Like what the fuck, and this is from a man to another man. I actually had to tell him to stop texting me that he’s horny, dude would just text me in the middle of the day while I’m at work saying he wants to fuck something in all caps. Then when you hang out with the guy all he does is bitch about other people and bitch at you for every little thing. Last time I saw him he was offended I left even though I stayed later than planned. Was planning on leaving at noon, stayed to about 4, then he’s like ‘dude just call off work tomorrow and stay here you don’t need to drive back home’, and was upset when I left anyways. It’s been such a relief having ghosted him. Was ridiculous
Buddy I feel you. I made the conscious decision to drop a few people from my life but one of them was my former best friend when I was 26. Haven't seen him in 6 years and he's been trying desperately to get back in contact with me. He's sent me texts, IMs, playstation messages, Xbox messages, he's gone to my mum's work and asked to passhis number on, he's turned up to my work when I wasn't in, he messaged the band I play in, he's messaged the bar I drink at. He's a BPD piece of shit who can't empathise and doesn't know how to make conversation about anything other than himself. Fuck those kind of people.
Damn what a crazy. I appreciate the need for friends but some people just can’t handle it. You get to a point with someone where you realize 100% of the conversations they start with you are designed to pull you into some bullshit, and then they actually start attacking you when you don’t bite, or they say you ‘have’ to respond to them because ‘you’re friends’, they start saying you’re ‘a bad friend’ when you don’t wake up at 1:30am to console them over some /LULZ/ shit they’re obsessed with.
The scene where Truman cries after seeing his dad always gets me. He ain't crying cause his dad is back. He's crying cause it's irrefutable proof that everything's been a lie all along and that his most close friend was never a fake all along, manipulating him even at his weakest.
The original script where Marlon was an alcoholic cause he drank to cope with having to lie to his childhood friend all his life was better. Or that one deleted script scene where Truman at the peak of his mania grabs a baby and threatens to slam him against the floor (killing it) if the mother didn't say his name, which, after she breaks down, she says, moment at which Truman puts the baby back on the stroller and runs terrified, cause how the fuck would she know if not part of the conspiracy.
100% there was a black market for Truman sex scenes, both as adult with his wife and teen wanking scenes that were cut, the cameras would record it, but they would not show it on screen.
Half the people who complain about not having friends are just BPD people who need an entire life partner all the time and throw the word ‘friend’ at you only as an attack when they’re demanding too much attention and time from you, usually for the crime of agreeing to play video games with them once
How would you start a conversation with someone you haven't spoken to in a very long time? She was my best friend in college but I don't want to come across as a creep.
>Long time no see
idk does this give off the impression that I want to see them in person? I'm just so out of practice with socializing that I overthink every word...
>pseudo-intellectual friend who got incredibly mean sometimes because ...? >wished harm on me for not agreeing with the vaccines >I liked the dude as a buddy and he managed to get the knife in me and twist it real good >forget about him for awhile >he reaches back out >"did you think I forgot how cruel you treated me before? have a great life nagger. peace." >block him
I've heard from our overlapped friends that he was absolutely seething. Thread reminded me about it, otherwise I (thankfully) don't give him space in my mind.
The season sponsored by Steel Reserve got really weird when Marlon's actor was hammered all the time. He had to leave the show for a year to go to rehab.
My turn >Had a best friend at 13 >He was pretty retarded but really fun for a bit until he got on your shit >like brothers basically >Stay up playing halo every night and fucking around in a forest making hunting spears or playing newgrounds hentai games >he moved away mid high school and I never recovered and couldn't make a friend like him since >Visit him a few times in my 20s >He's on welfare in some dingy apartment in a dead ghetto town with no jobs >He just buys disgusting dirt weed in bulk and smokes it every hour >Just plays the same video games from when we were teens >He can't cook and doesn't spend enough on food so he's a fucking skeleton >I can't explain why but he's just disturbing to look at because his skin looks like it's about to bleed >I think he smoked meth or crack at some point or still is but he was hiding that >He doesn't know anything >Despite his kinda gross demeanor he's still finding some retarded chicks who will fuck him >He hits on every cashier girl he sees and they fucking hug him >Hanging out with him is like being with a whore >Fun at night but you realize how disgusting everything is when you wake up >He's literally never going to change and is most likely going to end up a homeless drug addict with his teeth missing
Best way to describe him, is like a guy who's turned up to 10 and never stops. He yells everything, and the slightest disagreement or anything annoying sets him off. The town he's in is like the runoff to a city. All the trash flows down and collects there. It's awful to see your friend become a degenerate failure. He's even got a felony drug charge because he tried selling smack. I wanted a friend who's my equal but his brain is empty and his body is dying and I literally can't do shit
It's hard to convey how different he is to an ordinary person. He's like half chimp, you can't control him, you can persuade or convince him to do anything. He just relies on pure instinct and desire.
He's Brazilian but born in Canada, which is like placing a raccoon in a doll house. He belongs in a favela playing street fighter and gangbanging but he's stuck in a workaholic slave colony with boring ass anglos and francophones.
You're not wrong. I left out his fucked up homelife and family. He was definitely being best at home when we were kids.
He had a sister who transitioned into a man. That's the most stable and successful person in his family.
When you're just a kid you're not prepared to support people who are experiencing brutality that's practically incomprehensible. Especially since my parents weren't available for me to begin with and didn't give me any guidance other than video games to become my personality.
My buddy became a cat guy. Got two cats with no knowledge on how to raise them, was talking about getting two more. You open the door and you’re ducking saturation bombed with the smell of cat shit, you look and there’s just cat shit on the floor, the cats are just running around pissed, he’s got deep claw marks all over his hands ‘oh yeah they’re such sweetie pies’, what the hell
Like ‘hey dude what’s up, come on in’, what do you mean what’s up? You are standing next to a shit!

Friends are such a fucking waste of time. Always have been. >the friends you have in elementary school are replaced in middle school >middle school friends replaced by high school friends >high school friends replaced by college friends >college friends replaced by work friends >work friends replaced by new job friends >new job friends replaced by newer job friends >any friends that lasted through all this are phased out when either: you move away/they move away, you or them get a gf/married, or either one of you is too busy to get together
Literally one of the dumbest things humans do,
The original script's Truman meltdown was kino. He tells her that she has an actress name and asks for her real name, she pretends its all ok, then they do the whole trip to the nuclear plant, after which he faces her and asks why in the fuck she wants a child with him, and after she threatens him with a kitchen knife, he turns it on her and thratens to "kill their leading actress" he then berates her for buying a water bes knowing he has a trauma with it and always feels like drowning.
He then cuts open the waterbed with the knife and starts drowning her, he then mocks that conveniently someone knocks on the door (Marlon).
>Truman had to give his current employers a heads up that they were going to hear from somewhere I interviewed at >current employers say ok, your two weeks start now >Truman just found out he didnt get the new job
Interviewer said to give them a heads up, I mean it makes sense, better than them being blindsighted, but now they know how unhappy I am here so Im fucked
You always care about yourself first and foremost anon, the company doesn't give a fuck about you and always protects its own interests so you need to do the same. Fuck their "heads up". They wouldn't give you a heads up if they wanted to fire you, would they? No. So you let them know when you're ready to do so. Just take it as a lesson for next time. Always put yourself first. What are they gonna do if you don't? Fire you? You'd already be leaving lol who gives a shit.
had to give his current employers a heads up that they were going to hear from somewhere I interviewed at
Refuse to apply to places that do this. The only time your employer should know you're job searching is with an offer in hand.
>Its Truman gets a mean email from boss and gets so angry about it that he tries to inflict maximum monetary damage on the company he works at by doing his work slowly, filling out the paperwork wrong and delegating important tasks to incompetent people
That was very satisfying episode to watch
>Its Truman gets a mean email from boss and gets so angry about it that he tries to inflict maximum monetary damage on the company he works at by doing his work slowly, filling out the paperwork wrong and delegating important tasks to incompetent people
That was very satisfying episode to watch
hobbies are way more fulfilling, there isn't a single person I could hang out with and produce music or write programs for electronics because most people are dickheads and just care about behaving in a way that serves as practice for large social gatherings which is more or less practice for being a dickhead?
>twin brother >at 25 we still live together (with our friend from middle school) in the same apartment
It’s simply impossible for any of you to understand the brotherhood between twins. He’s beyond friendship, and if I ever lose him I will not be able to go on.
imagine how fucked up Trumans life was after this, everyday he thinks he still on TV. years later he is sitting on a broadcast studio stage with his co-stars and they just shit talk him the entire time
They don't think you'll do or say anything. Their day is improved by giving someone dirty looks and getting away with it, that's just how some minds work.
I wish I had friends
it does hurt,a lot. Haven't had any friends from the last seven years
Same.
It's not all it's cracked up to be.
It's ok, but a lot of friends are only around because they want reinforcement for their behavior. Like in OP, they only show up for bad habits like drinking, smoking, playing vidya, going to get goyslop, etcetera
Same. I had a lot of friends by the end of high school, kept close with a few good ones first few years in college, then I got blackpilled by /LULZ/, cut everyone off, and went nearly a decade without talking tk anyone besides occasionally family members and coworkers. Now I regret it so much. Making new friends is hard at this age and reconnecting with old ones is awkward.
you got to find the goldilock zone on personality
have you tried having a personality? on the opposite end, if your personality is too strong, have you tried toning it down some?
i was a huge splerg in high school, with zero friends. during uni learned and practiced toning things down, and now actually have a few friends i talk to every other week and see in person every 3-4 months.
My only friend is literally on the other side of the continent.
i have four friends i see at least every two weeks, feels good man. go to the pub get a feed oh my
They're over-rated.
The last time I thought I made a really good friend he accused me of stealing. My most recent friend is being held in prison without bail. Worst part is I really need the money he owes me lol
Can there be a universal rule on the internet that you're not allowed to mention someone going to prison without saying what they're charged with? Do tell, anon
Well the weird thing is I can't find his name in the local prison database to check his charges. According to his brother who he doesn't get along with he was arrested for an old drug possession warrant that he failed to go to court for. Apparently his mom called the police because he and his girlfriend were tripping balls.
I also left property over there and I need to try to get it without his mom freaking out on me
I can't imagine he didn't catch multiple possession and paraphernalia charges.
I hope he's doing ok because many of the jails where I live can be pretty awful. I'll try to visit him this week. Hopefully his dad put money on his books.
>he was arrested for an old drug possession warrant that he failed to go to court for.
Would make sense he wouldn't get bail in that situation, I was assuming he murdered someone or something haha. Good on you for planning to visit him, I'm sure he's feeling very alone right now
Sorry to disappoint you. Nothing so exciting.
His mom is giving me some bullshit response about I can't come over there to get my property until she finishes evicting him and she has to be present when I'm there. Sounds like she's trying to fuck me for some stupid reason.
I have friends, I wish I could still drink beer without feeling physically ill
i don't have friends, why cant you drink beer?
the only friend I have is a bigger narcissist than me and never buys the beers
sometimes you're better off by yourself, trust me
If you had a girlfriend they would either be dreaming of fucking your girlfriend, trying to fuck your girlfriend, or fucking your girlfriend. Most friends wouldn’t help you if it felt like a hassle, and they would kick you while your down. True friends are extremely rare. Most people with “friends” don’t have friends. You aren’t missing out.
I just realized Trumans first wife was the bitch on Ozark.
zoomer homosexual. she's a great 90s actress
my best friend hasn't messaged me back in over 4 years
Your (former) best friend here. It's because you were weird as fuck to hang out with and borderline schizo. Stop trying to message me please
13 years now for me. It never gets better.
20. Took me a long time to realise that he was just a covert narcissist who did that to people when he was no longer getting narcissistic supply.
>My best friend ended up friendship by text message 7 years ago
what an asshole
At least you got that.
>formerly end a friendship
fag
my best friend disappeared after I uninstalled steam
>I told my best friend he needed to get help for his alcoholism and stop beating his (now ex) gf and we stopped talking two years ago
Why didn't you message him again when they broke up?
if they're not together he's not beating her anymore. You can apologize even if you did nothing wrong just to get the relationship back
Because if he doesn't better his life I'm not wasting time and effort being his friend anymore. He's an emotional vampire.
you sound dumb and gay
ok homosexual
Who cares lmao? What, do you think the world is just a bunch of men trying to ‘have connections’ with eachother? Like we’re all just DYING to be the closest of friends but we apply ‘tough love’ by ignoring our friends when they ‘break the rules’? Fuck off lmao you understand nothing
Sry it had to be this way. You were clingy asf who always made big drama if we didn't hang out often enough.
I ghosted all my supposed friends post-HS, literally had a positive impact on my life, I realized they were fucking boring and gay.
ive read massaged my back in 4 years
>tfw your homie hasnt massaed you with his soft hands in years
>mfw never been masaed sexually
>best (online) friend for years
>starts showing signs of losing it, starts accusing me of things I'd never do, ghosting me for a month to test me
>one day he gets mad for god knows what, says "I have to go"
>he immediately launches a single player game on steam
>never talked to me ever again
>even the common friends in our group have been keeping their distance from me since then
>I can only assume what kind of made up stories he told them
All I’m hearing is you can’t handle someone choosing not to associate with you anymore. Like you can’t even handle someone fucking off without daydreaming they’re hurting you somewhere. ‘He stopped talking to me for a month ‘to test me’’ get over yourself you narcissistic baby, a guy doesn’t want to talk to you, so he doesn’t, and you take it as him trying to trick you into talking to you again. Get over yourself you fucking woman
Oh I'm handling it great. This guy during the last year has been insufferable to say the least, to the point of making me consider to cut all bridges with him and never look back the moment he started ramping up the drama. I only tolerated him for the sake of the group, because the other guys were some of the best guys I've met online. If I knew beforehand how he would turn out, I would have turned him down on day 1. It was like day and night how more pleasant my every day life became when I knew this guy was far off gone away from me, leeching attention and energy from some other poor lad.
Really because it sounds like he was the one who stopped talking to you, and when he stopped talking to you before you literary thought it was a trick. The guy stopped talking to you and you’re out here acting like you’re the one who let him go? Funny
Seems like I struck a nerve, probably my story hits a bit too close to home with some of you. Wish you luck, you will need it as you are growing older and older and making temporary friends to feed your narcissism will become harder and harder.
Your story is that a guy stopped talking to you once, then stopped talking to you forever, and your friend group mostly stopped talking to you too. Go ahead and blame everybody else like you always do, hey maybe your buddy snuck behind your back and made me not like you XD
My story is that a guy I was considering a close friend for years, within the span of 1 year, due to his mental conditions, changed his personality and behavior completely. Went from a cool dude who would chill with me and my friends to a schizo with an attitude of a controlling girlfriend that would accuse me of hiding from him on purpose if I didn't answer his messages for 10 minutes when I was afk taking a shit. But sure, keep throwing the blame on me, maybe it makes you feel better when you look at your friends list of 200 people you haven't talked to for the past 10 years.
A kind narcissist must be rarer than a unicorn. Your mission is to protect his smile.
I think you misunderstood my post. You're acting like a bitch.
That’s not the story you told, lol, make sure to include the details next time
nah he made it clear, you just felt personally attacked. You sound vaccinated.
>starts accusing me of things I'd never do
I'd avoid one of my friends sometimes and I think he'd call me up anonymously and quickly hang up to see if I was really there. I think that's weirder than avoiding someone t.b.h.
thanks i really appreciate your words, can i use you as an example on how to not get over a dude(no homo)
My best friend is a slight narcissist and I let him know it when he's acting like a bitch. He's the kindest dude I've ever known and my brother, but I really hope he grows a little more in that department.
yeah bro it really sounds like he's not living rent free in your head lmao
handling it great keep it up champ
you shouldn't have gone against me on the rittenhouse trial
>gradually stop talking to best friend from school over the years
>10 years after graduation essentially stop talking at all
>by pure coincidence at the same time reconnect with another friend from school
don't give up bros, it's not over yet
my best friend went back to his home country 6 years ago, now he's a successful freelance graphics designer and I'm still an alcoholic neet
After college not a single one ever contacted me unless I made the effort
I told my best friend that he is a whore after he has stolen 100$ from me. I havent spoken to him since (before that i used to "lend" him money, probably 2000$ in total to fuel his drug habit)
Lmfao people don’t even pay their credit card bills, how does anyone expect to be ‘paid back’ for drugs
I didnt, but i valued our friendship more than money.
Well until he has stolen the cash from me, thats a step too far
I have friends. They are always asking me to do things. It's awful.
>friend ghosts you
>life utterly falls apart because it was the last normal thing you had
>can't tell him
>if he lost me as a friend he'd have his gf
fugg
Me and my college roommates message each other every day, two years after graduation.
I fucked my best friend (female) 4 years ago in a drunken christmas 3some (me and her husband spitorasted her) and then he got upset and demanded she cut all ties with me. Then 4 months ago she hit me up again like nothing had ever happened.
You retard
>(me and her husband spitorasted her) and then he got upset
Sounds like you should have tickled his pickle too
Fucking bullshit.
4 years ago I went to a wedding with my best friend (female) and slept in the same hotel and my gf was so insanely jealous she spent the next 2 years seething and going berserk any time she was mentioned. Then she got pregnant and used the situation to leverage me into never speaking to or seeing her again, I stopped texting her on the sly only about a year ago but it feels like half of myself just got sliced out of my life and I’ve been a husk since. The worst part is she’s exactly the kind of petty cunt who would 100% push for full custody with limited visitation if I left and started reconnecting again. Now I get why people wish their exes were dead. They can rule your life if you give one fuck about seeing your kids.
Then he's not your friend much less your best one. I drank the kool-aid and messaged a 'friend' even though we didn't talk for months and he pretented to say he was going to call me to hang out sometime. Obviously, never did. Fuck it. I'm over it now.
It still pissed you off though. Seeing a guy you recognize, handing him your number and he tells you he'll totally msg you to catch up. Never does. It's ok to feel pissed about that. Some people are just shitty. There's no need to lie to someone like that.
Eh who cares, get over it. Sheesh guys.
being ignored hurts
Same man, I know the feeling. My best friend from the ages of ~14-25 decided all he wanted to do was play drums and would pretty much only hang out with other musicians or hit me up to "chill" and just play drums in front of me. Was super flakey on top of that and would make plans all the time only to ditch last minute or not even respond. I kind of involuntarily went no contact with him after being flaked too much and just giving up. But I saw him recently for the first time in five years and hanging out with him then was fun, so I decided to let bygones be bygones and invite him out. The fucker didn't respond to my text asking if he was still around. I should have known to expect it, but I was fucking furious that after all the effort it had taken me to stop being mad at him, I wanted to forgive him and got burned in the exact same way. Some people just feel no sense of responsibility toward others, and if you no longer provide the feeling of friendship they're looking for, you're no longer worth anything in their eyes.
Sounds exactly like my brother. He's literally a drummer and is exactly how you described. I case it is him don't worry he's super flakey with family as well.
Did you grow up in the Boston area?
Either way, I wouldn't be surprised. Every city in the world has these circles of musicians that orbit the actual "scene." Guys who may even have some actual talent, but through sheer laziness or inability to work with others never turn it into an ongoing project, so they just endlessly "jam" with other guys in the same situation while living a pretty sad, uneventful existence otherwise.
I know he acts that way with other people, so it's some consolation he doesn't think I'm particularly worthless, but overall it's just sad he can't see outside his immediate interests to maintain serious relationships.
Oof man you're projecting a lot. Man's just doing what he likes and is fulfilled doing just that. You sound really fucking bitter over a guy not respecting your time, but you sound insufferable anyway so I don't blame him. Sorry anon.
You just going around responding to everyone's posts telling them they deserve it lol? Maybe if you ever had friends you'd know that it has a lasting impact on you when a friend out of the blue decides that you're not worth their time anymore but still tries to pretend that you're best friends despite it.
Nah man, read your post and tell me it doesn't sound like the seething of a bitter person who's not fun to hang out with
>they just endlessly "jam" with other guys in the same situation while living a pretty sad, uneventful existence
Living with your mother in your 30s and making a few hundred dollars a month from a part time job is a pretty sad existence, yes. I know for this website it's about par for the course, but when all the other friends from the group are now getting married and saving for the future, it's hard not to feel that his situation is sad in comparison. It's not even so much that I disagree with his choices themselves; I think if he wanted to devote himself to music and play live shows and record albums while living a materially meager existence, I would respect that. But for him to be "working on projects" (that never get finished) and "thinking about starting a band with some guys I've met" for over a decade now with nothing to show for it is in my eyes not a fulfilling life. If his mother dies and he no longer has her pension, he's fucked. If he got sick and had to go to the hospital, he'd be in debt for the rest of his life. He just lives the sort of life that it pains me to imagine what future it will lead him to 20 or 30 years down the line. On some level I am still bitter, but I also feel really bad for him that he put himself in this situation that will be difficult if not impossible to climb out of.
At one time I would have agreed. But once you hit 28-30 a line is crossed between “doing what you love” and “wasting your life”. Like in high school I knew a kid who was big into theater. He loved it and swore he was gonna become an actor one day.
So a few years pass and he’s still in our hometown, doing theater and feeling pretty good about it because he’s “in the industry” and doing what he loves. He has his theater friends and shows and everybody else agrees he has the talent to do really well.
Then a few more years pass and we’re n out late 20’s. Most people are still partying and already settling for mediocre jobs, but he still loves the stage and he’s still waiting tables because he needs the flexibility for his real passion.
He’s been talking about moving here or there constantly. It’s perpetually over the horizon but he’ll be in off-broadway or something in a few more years.
Now a decade has gone by. He only hangs out with theater people now, but they’re all much younger than him. No gf. No progress in either his passion or his side job. But he’s still a great actor. Just a bit better than a few years ago.
Then a few months ago he starts acting weird. He’s pushing 30 and never moved, never risked trying to even audition at a bigger theater in a nearby city. Never advanced in his side job. And now he’s flat out hostile to inquiries about his “big move”.
It’s sad. You can see he’s going nowhere but he’s completely deluded himself into thinking either he’ll get up and start his life one day or that nothing will ever change and he’ll always have friends around who also do nothing with their lives while sharing the same kind of passion. I imagine drummers are particularly susceptible to this ego trap as they’re in high demand among musicians; making it easy to feel “busy” or “important” without ever really taking risks or developing as a person.
The only projection I see is this post right here.
I’m guessing something about what he said touched a nerve?
My best friend (Male) and my best friend (female) just got married. I was a groomsman but I think he's still peeved I banged her in high school and again in college. I also slept with his sister so it's all getting awkward.
My best friend is dating a girl I used to fuck and he recently brought it up for some reason, it was extremely awkward. I didn't really say anything. He's been dating her for 4 years and never said anything before.
Trying to broach the subject of a threesome.
Was it immediately after getting married or getting into a serious relationship?
It’s possible he misses you like hell but he’s mindfucked by a female who doesn’t want competition for affection.
My friends only talked to me as soon as I contacted them first. I stopped contacting them years ago and haven't heard a single word from them.
>haven't talked to best friend in a few years
>he randomly calls me a few months ago
>know from lurking social media he recently graduated medical school, is a doctor and got married, had a kid on the way and pretty much mogs me in every way because I failed out of school and became NEET
>think "I'll call him back later when I feel like talking"
>think about it every day but never do
>eventually come to terms with the fact that I'm not going to do it
To be honest I think I'd rather he just remember me fondly as I was rather than the failure I am today. It's better this way. Maybe someday I'll get my shit together and feel worthy of contacting my peers again, but for now it's not happening. Sometimes I kinda wish I had just died back then, so I would be a good memory in people's heads.
What if he's able to help you out in life? He sounds like a good guy for reaching out to you after all this time and would be a great connection to have. Maybe he's just looking to get away from the high expectations of his life and it will actually be a relief for him to hang out with someone he doesn't have to put on airs with. You should really give him a call, anon. It's not something to worry about
Had a 4 hour phone call with my old friend today, we keep in contact semi regularly but havent chat like that in a long time. I was appreciative, nice to have an ally and a "constant" in your life that you share history with. Like sitting at a dark souls bonfire. Inface its sus this is the first thread I saw today, another weird nod from whatever powers this reality. Bon voyage niggas.
6 for me
He killed himself
I have a new circle of close friends now but 6 years ago i decided to stop calling/msging first and i lost 90% of them kek
It's a really good test
My current circle is much different, they always check on me ask for hangouts etc
Best friend in college mogged me in confidence but I mogged him in height. His ego was such that he got offended when I started hanging out with other guys to go camping and hiking over the summer before senior year. Long story short he pulled every manipulative power ploy to lower my confidence. Right when I started making headway with the first crush I had the balls to ask out. He set me up on a casual date with one of his side hoes for the express purpose of testing me. Very long story short I ratted his cheating ass out to the gals he was pretending to be exclusive with and haven’t looked back since. If only I had realized sooner that Kentucky asshole was a manipulative user I would never have been friends with him.
I had a manic episode a year ago and lost my best friend, who abandoned me during it. Then I lost my next best friend (an upgraded older friend) to some weirdness on his part, and then my latest best friend (an upgraded newer friend) went schizo and blocked me after I called him out for being schizo. Now I'm on the search for a new friend, because I'm all out.
What did this manic episode include? I can't blame anyone for leaving someone having a manic episode or weird personality issues. It's like standing next to a wild animal with no impulse control.
Everyone has bad days. Some of us have multiple bad days a year. The rest of the time we are mostly normal and pleasant to be around
Thinking world governments were after me and Cinemaphile was involved, bunch of stuff over about a month or so before he blocked me.
Ya well it's impossible to have a conversation after a while and it feels like you need to pander to a delusion. People don't want to be friends with someone who isn't mentally their equal. Just based off my now late brother who passed away from drug abuse. He was bipolar and would be nice for 3 days, then weird and annoying for day 4 to 6. Then he'll explode violently screaming and it's like the most absurd accusations. Then he'll ask you to forget and move on after while he forgets the awful shit he did to you.
It's because you're an aggressive retard that drove me and all your other friends away. All you had to do was not be an autistic asshole. Have fun with your mail order bride.
my best friend out of nowhere moved to another state and started a new life. we haven't spoke since.
You should call him or hit him on up facebook
and then what? leave my family at home to travel hours to have a beer with someone who completely went ghost on everyone? nah thanks.
I've spent more time not as her friend than I have as her friend
Look I really thought about it when Chris Chan went to jail but dude it isnt worth it. You bailed for puss Im not your baby sitter anymore I need one myself
I still talk to all my high school and college friends :^|
wait didn't this same guy have an exact same scene with the russian spy Matthew Rhys or wahtever in The Americans
Yeah, he was an FBI agent, wasn't he?
That's what I thought it was at first xd
WHY DO YOU ALWAYS MAGICALLY APPEAR WITH A SIX PACK WHENEVER I'M FEELING DEPRESSED?
>it’s another “Marlon walks in on Truman surrounded by 20 empty beer cans” episode
fuck off i'm fapping to hebes
Surely you meant Tibees?
Damn, Georgian women look like THAT?
a herpes fetish? does it exist?
I am reminded of the movie "Antiviral" (2012) where fans feel closer to their celebrities by intentionally catching the same diseases they have
Go away im batin'
Truman seems pretty good at pattern recognition, how come it never dawned on him that Marlon would always come around whenever things were tense?
Why question your pleasant reality when you don't have to?
He was questioning every other aspect of it.
Truman grew up with Marlon since childhood, even in his state of questioning reality, Marlon was a persistent presence who gave no other indication of sketchy behavior. Odds are, Marlon was specifically dispatched to help Truman at various times with far more minor problems well before any of this so Truman just - in an almost Pavlovian manner - immediately associates Marlon with some sort of emotional oasis.
a six pack is $25 in Australia usually more
sorry about that but you're probably gonna die from a spider bite or dingo attack any day, right?
There hasn't been a death in Australia from a spider bite since 1979.
Yeah who told you that? A spider?
there hasn't been a straight man in australia ever
How have aussies not overthrown their 3rd world tier tyrannical gov. yet?!
Everyone is too cowardly or "she'll be right".
you can ask the same question of almost every country on earth. most of them have the same government anyway.
Same reason Americans, Canadians, Brits and all yuros allow their government to import millions of shitskins
Because a rifle is several thousand dollars
$22 for a six pack of VB at my local
I'd just start brewing my own alcohol at that point. just need some yeast and sugar
sorry about that
>normalfags really think drinking some liquid is a hobby
I drink, post in /druk/, and dvade bans for doing it
>three beers
>enough to have a good time
three beers is my limit these days when I drink, binging has moved to weed. 1 beer is enough for a light buzz
>weed
Is unironically worse than drinking beer
for the mind maybe, for the body absolutely not
Wrong. Simply taking a few days to a week allows the liver, being one of the few organs able to regenerate, to heal.
Smoking weed on the other hand leads to life long chronic health problems including bronchitis which you can never kick.
t. Marathon runner and beer drinker
your liver can heal but your capillaries won't unharden
Explain people like the Diaz brothers who smoke pot during training, 24/7 even, yet can go 5 rounds in a fight while maintaining the same high cardio pace the whole time. My good friend is a pro boxer, heavyweight, that smokes weed, and he's 2 fights away from representing Australia in the next olympics while also maintaining a 5-0, 4 KO record in pros.
Meanwhile, I'm an alcoholic that drinks either 20 beers a day (or 3 bottles of cheap wine depending on how much cash I have) and a tobacco smoker - former kickboxer, used to come first in school carnivals for freestyle swimming that now gasses and gets sluggish after 7 minutes of throwing strikes. I still have high explosive strength but my cardio is no longer here.
What's your personality like? if you're introverted, you probably don't. Social obligations, phonecalls, parties and all of that shit slowly pile up on you and you get major social fatigue, and sometimes causes severe anxiety.
>Explain
They still have greatly diminished lung capacity and also deal with the long term effects of thc on short term memory.
There is not a single habitual smoker who can run marathons btw
I have smoked 5 joints in my life
I've had a lot of weed edibles ever since Canada made weed legal and cheap.
Don't need to damage your lungs to get stoned
Nate Diaz does do triathlons but he's not exactly coming first. I personally don't smoke weed, so I'm not defending it from a personal point of view - just what I've seen irl and what MMA fighters and boxers do.
>long term effects of thc on short term memory.
wrong on both counts, i smoked weed every day for two years and now a few times a month, but i can remember strings of text and numbers very well and better than anyone else i know. all of the negative effects of weed are copes by lazy people. alcohol is so much more harmful it's not even funny.
I agree but both are bad for people that can't handle their shit
>alcohol is so much more harmful it's not even funny.
Yep, I'm drunk almost permanently at this point and I prefer alcohol, but weed was better/.
Scar tissue does not heal, anon.
You don’t have to smoke it ya know. Edibles vs beer, edibles win every time
You can't control weed. With beer you can sip or chug and wash it down with water. It pairs with food and snacks.
Weed and especially edibles have no control. Once it starts you can't ease off or control it, you just have to accept the lose of control. I don't like that.
>you have to accept the loss of control
>I don’t like that
You need it. The whole point of smoking weed is doing it in small amounts that just let you accept that life in general is beyond your control, then occasionally larger amounts that basically simulate a minor health event/death and teaches you to accept your own mortality and to let fear pass because ultimately you’ll be okay no matter what happens. If you die you’re dead and nothing can hurt you, if you’re alive then you should just be grateful to be alive.
Weed is incredibly useful for people who are anxious or have control issues, not as medication, but a teaching aid.
God no, I hate how post smokers have co-opted "anxiety" from people who have real anxiety.
Weed doesn't cute your anxiety, you're just anxious when you're not on weed because you're addicted to weed.
People who feel anxious feel like they're dying when they're on weed and hate the experience.
You think stoners are having panic attacks every time they smoke? People do that shit because they love it and it makes them feel good.
only the idiots that smoke fat blunts, or several joints, or like bowl after bowl get those panic attacks, but kids dont want to hear that. they want to feel like chad and smoke them fat puffs.
a tiny ass amount of weed is enough for half a day, and it wont give you anxiety.
>Smoking weed on the other hand leads to life long chronic health problems
Exactly, Chronic Health Problems.
Fortunately in my state it's legal so all those health problems went away immediately.
Also COPD is basically endemic if you grew up in a large city in the 60s-90s. My whole life, even before 9/11 every other network TV ad was ATTENTION DO YOU HAVE COPD YOU MAY HAVE RIGHTS
literally wrong, alcohol causes cancer moron
t. better runner then you
>I drink BEER and still EXERCISE
Congrats on being a homosexual. Now go smoke some weed calm down because everyone hates you.
nagger, just put the weed oil up your bum. I bet you'd like the process.
I just need one
when i was a kid i nearly threw up after 3 now i need 2 six packs
>now i need 2 six packs
To throw up or to reach the next Monday?
to get a good buzz
I can drink 20 440ml cans a night.
just say 15oz can you homosexual
If you’re married and over 25 it is. The fun is getting to hang out with no women around, get a small but respectable buzz (and 2-3 will do because you almost never get to drink), and talk to your best friend, which really shouldn’t require any beer at all to be fun.
You seriously underestimate how miserable the average married man is. Your wife is like a boss with none of the boundaries a work environment traditionally enforces.
yeah but you can fuck her, while work only fucks you
Quit being a whipped bitch. I married a Virgin tradwife and life's a breeze
Maybe Truman drinks 5
Seriously. My buddy better have a whole 5th or ain’t no one getting drunk.
The gay tension was a little weird in these scenes.
Why did Truman always Jack off right after he left?
I'd need more than six beers to let my best friend cum on me
I'm an alcoholic and I just saw my best friend texted me one week ago. I feel sad because I actually consider him my best friend. But He doesn't know I'm an alcoholic. I guess I read his message while drunk and forgot about it. I guess he must be sad or disappointed. Ive been drinking for 3 months straight. Every single day
>Ive been drinking for 3 months straight. Every single day
You're definitely gonna regret that decision.
Stop drinking this much unless you want a slow, painful death in your early 50s.
Call him and tell him, hes interested in your well being
>It's a Truman takes his wife into the kitchen and fucks her ass for three solid hours episode
My best friend died in a hit and run 4 years ago. He was really thing that I had. I'm now 35. It's over.
this but my father died 15 years ago and I'm 30
My brother was my only friend and he died of cancer, so I can relate.
just get a gf
Last time I watched this movie I wondered how Truman's interactions with the actors playing his friends and wife would go down after he leaves the dome. Like would those actors try to get in touch because they spent so much of their lives with Truman? Would he eventually want to see them again since they're all he knows?
That's easy
They would make a podcast and book deals and try to grind out whatever relevance they can turn into a paycheck
see
>the truman show was 25 years ago
Truman fucked a woman everyday that pretend to love him but really was an actress. That's deidcation to the craft.
he might not even know what sex is. they could have told him lady gaga rules the world and put it in textbooks.
did men really drink 3 beers a night every night?
they were light beers.
As soon as I leave work I immediately start drinking hard liquor until I fall asleep. I then wake up the next morning, go into work, and do it all over again.
This is actually my long term friend. Every day without fail he passes out drunk and high
Last nught i did 4 soju and wanted more. Tonight im not drinking but waking up early tomorrow.
>Sneedmorning, and in case I don't see ya, sneedafternoon, sneedevening, and sneednight!
When they were worried that Truman was figuring out his life was a TV show why didn’t they introduce him to methamphetamines? His figuring it out would have been seen as paranoid delusion and it would have steered the show towards Truman spinning out of control and then seeking help for his drug addiction and ratings would have skyrocketed as well as solving the problem of him realizing his life was a TV show. Holy shit TV executives are morons.
Advertising. Same thing that has fucked Elon plan from saving Twitter.
You wouldn’t know what good tv was if it were raping your face. A Truman strung out on meth and making a harrowing comeback would be the greatest season of The Truman Show.
what a post. you don't even deserve to get checked for those digits. go outside
Because the Truman show was being run by Hollywood, not the CIA
i feel bad for alcoholics
im no better than them i have my own vices but i still feel bad for them
>6 beers between 2 people
What's the point? Not even a buzz
Truman! Come out to plaaay---aayyy!
>splitting a 6 pack
me and my friends need 2 6 packs each just to feel something
beer is truly worthless unless you're like 5'3 and skinny and probably a woman.
Same. Ive gotten into a 12pk a night, a tall boy and at least two nips of vodka or gin. Thats when im set
Why did he always walk in on Truman when he started gooning?
>meet someone
>have a great time
>ghost them next day
>feel bad about it but do it anyways
Fucking based, i do the same
Meet countless people, always leave a good impression and easily make connection. Then just drop off contact and disappear
>tfw all my friends moved to the west coast
>tfw still stuck at home in my 30’s
I’m glad for the few times we get to hang out in person every year but man, the rest of the year just becomes so unbearable in comparison.
why are you stuck anon? You need to find new people to grow with, despite what media tells you people don't stay friends forever unless you actually see each other regularly. Forty year old versions of people are just too different from their twenty year old selves unless they share enough new experiences together.
t. broke with my high school buds in my mid thirties
I hate making new friends, I dunno.
Just feels like anytime I actually meet someone cool they move away or something, but also these days I never know where to even hang out.
>Just feels like anytime I actually meet someone cool they move away or something, but also these days I never know where to even hang out.
Same boat, the last of my friends moved away during covid. Now I am fucked socially, it is ok to play vidya on your own day to day but one time I realised I couldn't even get a bud to swing by and help me move a couch outside. You just need to try harder or it will get worse. Just how it is.

I hope you can too
>what's it about
A small town deputy uncovering a ring of demon worshippers
based i'd probably read it. i hate demons.
It isn't going to be any good and it's never going to get finished, let alone published
ok i don't care
I would definitely read it, I like folk horror and that x files episode where ((satanists)) are sacrificing children kek
I haven't read many books in that subgenre either
Start with learning the basics like how ohm's and kirchoffs laws work in a circuit first of all, then get a soldering iron and a multimeter.
YouTube has plenty of good follow along beginner projects that you can get into for very cheap (<$10), as a starting point for learning to work with circuitry.
There are also category specific electronics books that have follow along projects on sites like libgen
as a preface I would learn to read circuit diagrams, logic symbols, try to become familiar with some common types of circuits and methods for simplification (things like thevenins and Norton's equivalent circuits which are handy ways of solving issues on paper)
But I wouldn't say it's an absolute necessity, it'll just make life easier when you're learning to put something together.
once you can build some simple common configurations it's a lot easier to identify issues when looking at an actual busted piece of equipment
how do you go about learning to fix electronics?
>this summer
its november.
summer is different in the southern hemisphere..
Of course it won't be published by a label, it's not even the DEI shit, book sales have decreased by a lot over the years and they only want proven sellers.
Self-publish on amazon.
Make a youtube channel about it, read excerpts, commission art for it, advertise it on other creators channels.
You'll most likely get an equal amount of money that you put into it that you'll get out of it.
But from those proven sales, you can market yourself to a publisher as an established author with guaranteed sales.
>mfw they would cancel the Truman show if it starred me.

What's your favourite mini arc in the Truman Show?
Ghosted my main ‘friend’ about a year ago, best decision of my life. Sick of being pulled into these BPD traps where you get these panicked desperate texts at 2am and then when you respond he just starts attacking someone or even you for no reason. It made sense when he was depressed but with his recent success I thought he’d calm the fuck down, apparently this self-pitying mania is just his idea of run. And if you ignored him or didn’t take the constant bait, you’d wake up in the morning with literally 16 consecutive texts that say ‘nagger’ (we’re both white btw) over the course of three hours and he’s literally bitching like how dare you ignore me when you’re sleeping. Like what the fuck, and this is from a man to another man. I actually had to tell him to stop texting me that he’s horny, dude would just text me in the middle of the day while I’m at work saying he wants to fuck something in all caps. Then when you hang out with the guy all he does is bitch about other people and bitch at you for every little thing. Last time I saw him he was offended I left even though I stayed later than planned. Was planning on leaving at noon, stayed to about 4, then he’s like ‘dude just call off work tomorrow and stay here you don’t need to drive back home’, and was upset when I left anyways. It’s been such a relief having ghosted him. Was ridiculous
Buddy I feel you. I made the conscious decision to drop a few people from my life but one of them was my former best friend when I was 26. Haven't seen him in 6 years and he's been trying desperately to get back in contact with me. He's sent me texts, IMs, playstation messages, Xbox messages, he's gone to my mum's work and asked to passhis number on, he's turned up to my work when I wasn't in, he messaged the band I play in, he's messaged the bar I drink at. He's a BPD piece of shit who can't empathise and doesn't know how to make conversation about anything other than himself. Fuck those kind of people.
Damn what a crazy. I appreciate the need for friends but some people just can’t handle it. You get to a point with someone where you realize 100% of the conversations they start with you are designed to pull you into some bullshit, and then they actually start attacking you when you don’t bite, or they say you ‘have’ to respond to them because ‘you’re friends’, they start saying you’re ‘a bad friend’ when you don’t wake up at 1:30am to console them over some /LULZ/ shit they’re obsessed with.
He wanted to have hot gay sex with you, you virgin
Well no thanks then
The scene where Truman cries after seeing his dad always gets me. He ain't crying cause his dad is back. He's crying cause it's irrefutable proof that everything's been a lie all along and that his most close friend was never a fake all along, manipulating him even at his weakest.
The original script where Marlon was an alcoholic cause he drank to cope with having to lie to his childhood friend all his life was better. Or that one deleted script scene where Truman at the peak of his mania grabs a baby and threatens to slam him against the floor (killing it) if the mother didn't say his name, which, after she breaks down, she says, moment at which Truman puts the baby back on the stroller and runs terrified, cause how the fuck would she know if not part of the conspiracy.
*was never a friend, but a fake all along
>whole life recorded
>teenagers beat their meat every day
100% there was a black market for Truman sex scenes, both as adult with his wife and teen wanking scenes that were cut, the cameras would record it, but they would not show it on screen.
if you're alone, there won't be anyone to tell you when you start losing it
Half the people who complain about not having friends are just BPD people who need an entire life partner all the time and throw the word ‘friend’ at you only as an attack when they’re demanding too much attention and time from you, usually for the crime of agreeing to play video games with them once
How would you start a conversation with someone you haven't spoken to in a very long time? She was my best friend in college but I don't want to come across as a creep.
Hey! What’s up? Long time no see

Best way to describe him, is like a guy who's turned up to 10 and never stops. He yells everything, and the slightest disagreement or anything annoying sets him off. The town he's in is like the runoff to a city. All the trash flows down and collects there. It's awful to see your friend become a degenerate failure. He's even got a felony drug charge because he tried selling smack. I wanted a friend who's my equal but his brain is empty and his body is dying and I literally can't do shit
It's hard to convey how different he is to an ordinary person. He's like half chimp, you can't control him, you can persuade or convince him to do anything. He just relies on pure instinct and desire.
He's Brazilian but born in Canada, which is like placing a raccoon in a doll house. He belongs in a favela playing street fighter and gangbanging but he's stuck in a workaholic slave colony with boring ass anglos and francophones.
Your best friend was getting beat/diddled the whole time you hung out and probably before that
You're not wrong. I left out his fucked up homelife and family. He was definitely being best at home when we were kids.
He had a sister who transitioned into a man. That's the most stable and successful person in his family.
When you're just a kid you're not prepared to support people who are experiencing brutality that's practically incomprehensible. Especially since my parents weren't available for me to begin with and didn't give me any guidance other than video games to become my personality.
My buddy became a cat guy. Got two cats with no knowledge on how to raise them, was talking about getting two more. You open the door and you’re ducking saturation bombed with the smell of cat shit, you look and there’s just cat shit on the floor, the cats are just running around pissed, he’s got deep claw marks all over his hands ‘oh yeah they’re such sweetie pies’, what the hell
Like ‘hey dude what’s up, come on in’, what do you mean what’s up? You are standing next to a shit!
How do I make friends?
Be kind to people and listen to them when they speak.
This doesn't work with gfs, they want that but they'll just stop respecting you if you do that. Not that you asked.
those must be treated like children which act and think like children

Literally one of the dumbest things humans do,
The original script's Truman meltdown was kino. He tells her that she has an actress name and asks for her real name, she pretends its all ok, then they do the whole trip to the nuclear plant, after which he faces her and asks why in the fuck she wants a child with him, and after she threatens him with a kitchen knife, he turns it on her and thratens to "kill their leading actress" he then berates her for buying a water bes knowing he has a trauma with it and always feels like drowning.
He then cuts open the waterbed with the knife and starts drowning her, he then mocks that conveniently someone knocks on the door (Marlon).
Those aren't Miller High Life.
>Truman had to give his current employers a heads up that they were going to hear from somewhere I interviewed at
>current employers say ok, your two weeks start now
>Truman just found out he didnt get the new job
Damn bro, why did you have to tell your current job that?
Interviewer said to give them a heads up, I mean it makes sense, better than them being blindsighted, but now they know how unhappy I am here so Im fucked
You always care about yourself first and foremost anon, the company doesn't give a fuck about you and always protects its own interests so you need to do the same. Fuck their "heads up". They wouldn't give you a heads up if they wanted to fire you, would they? No. So you let them know when you're ready to do so. Just take it as a lesson for next time. Always put yourself first. What are they gonna do if you don't? Fire you? You'd already be leaving lol who gives a shit.
wow, that interviewer sounds like a cunt. I can't believe they would give you such terrible advice
had to give his current employers a heads up that they were going to hear from somewhere I interviewed at
Refuse to apply to places that do this. The only time your employer should know you're job searching is with an offer in hand.
Yeah lesson learned I guess. God Im so fucked

I enjoy drinking cans alone and watching very old youtube videos than going to the pub. Most people are dickheads anyway.
this fuck friends i don't need them.
hobbies are way more fulfilling, there isn't a single person I could hang out with and produce music or write programs for electronics because most people are dickheads and just care about behaving in a way that serves as practice for large social gatherings which is more or less practice for being a dickhead?
>twin brother
>at 25 we still live together (with our friend from middle school) in the same apartment
It’s simply impossible for any of you to understand the brotherhood between twins. He’s beyond friendship, and if I ever lose him I will not be able to go on.
why don't you go blow him?
which one is 'that other one'?
3 beers is not enough for one person.
No, not if they're an alcoholic.
I mean, if Truman was already getting suspicious, why the fuck would you bring him Truman Show branded lager?
I thought this was going to be one of those funny truman threads but its just men whining about their lives
I just came here to whine about how much everyone else is whining.
>Waaah I want to talk about the recent episode in the NEET Truman arc
He has to cute those fucking nails, he's making noise when he walks in the house
imagine how fucked up Trumans life was after this, everyday he thinks he still on TV. years later he is sitting on a broadcast studio stage with his co-stars and they just shit talk him the entire time
>youngfags worried about losing friends
don't sweat it, it happens to everyone.
How many of you anons ever feel like you're living in the Truman Show?
Everyone seems to know who I am. They stare at me and laugh at me. I'm going fucking insane.
Sometimes people stare at me angrily, not sure why, I don't look particularly odd or anything.
They don't think you'll do or say anything. Their day is improved by giving someone dirty looks and getting away with it, that's just how some minds work.
If thats not root beer i dont wanna know
I'm going to do it. I'm going to reach out to my college crush. If it goes poorly I'm blaming you guys for making me feel like doing this.
>sharing a 6-pack
wtf? in Belgium, when your friend is depressed, you talk it out over a crate of beer (24 bottles) 12 each
>1 measly 6 pack for 2 people
