Got a date tonight, first one in over a year-and-a-half of being single. Macedonian woman who lives in Munich, connected with her on OK Cupid on Saturday. She asked me out (and not vice-versa), within maybe half an hour of us chatting. She's attractive, seems interesting, so I happily agreed.
And now that it's the day, all I want to do is stay home, chill, eat something awesome ... on my own. I'm dog-tired from everything that's happened this year ... pestilence, being unemployed since Jan, changes everywhere, not having had proper holidays in three years. It's all too much, and I just don't feel like I've got tonight in me.
I'll go anyway, just because I don't want to be an arsehole, but still. Ugh.
- Feel the same when having to meet somebody these days. It's like we're sick of humans. But do it, push it, you might meet your future wife lolgrafician
- But don't marry, it's a trap ofcgrafician

- Earlier I mentioned about a date I went on recently. We went for walks in the park which was generally uncomfortable. No touch or general ease with...Ianbolton
- each other due to things which were way beyond our control. But in the same way I know I was probably tired and restless. Do what feels right man.Ianbolton
- I think what surprises me is just how profoundly exhausted I feel; like I simply don't have energy for anything. But, hey, like graf said, I should go ...Continuity
- ... anyway, and push through it. If nothing else, it's an evening with human interaction. Being holed up solitary isn't healthy long-term.Continuity
- @Ianbolton Had a date recently, the idea was to walk her home after, we barely made it half way and I called for an Uber...grafician
- Well, that fills me with the utmost confidence tonight will go swimmingly ...
Ugh, guys.Continuity - You'll find the energy to get out and yo'ull be glad you did.monospaced
- This is what it's like with kids. You are perpetually exhausted — think YEARS — but the option to do nothing doesn't exist like it does if you don't have kids.monospaced
- Il'l do my best!Continuity
- I understand you 100%. 2020 blues.SimonFFM
- @graf dating in 2020 is ridiculous. Everybody seems to have been lobotomised by COVID.Ianbolton
- Yes go anyway and take it easyi_was
- Nothing to loose... Try to forget this pest for a moment, sure she wants the same. Qbn energy on the way!! Have a blast and make us proud ;)OBBTKN

- Go for it!garbage
- FFS. Turns out, I ended up being into her way more than she evidently was into me. Net result, staying home would still have been the better option. Fuck this.Continuity
- Bit of a twist I wasn't expecting.Continuity
- Imagine the same situation but you've been married a few years to this lady. And all you want is a night to yourself, chill, cook something good.shapesalad
- Instead you got to play good husband and chit chat at dinner she cooks,, but you don't like...shapesalad
- oh, sorry to hear that @cont! chin up man.renderedred
- Don’t forget to brush your teeth.
Good luck man!antimotion - Good luck next time!.
@shape, what you wrote is touching...OBBTKN - pic?pango
- Don't beat yourself up @Cont, you have to try. You never know what comes out of something like this.pseud
- Cheers, lads. At least I got out of the house, and met a real human being, so there's that much gained.Continuity
- How you feeling @Continuity?Ianbolton
- Good question. Actually, I was a bit miffed that I ended up being more into her than her into me. It's pretty typical for me when that happens.Continuity
- Which is especially ironic, when you consider I wasn't feeling like going.
But yeah, dating in 2020 sucks.Continuity

Re: ^ post, this is relatable. Discuss...

- Word!grafician
- Yup sorry guys, you REALLY don't know tired until you have kids.microkorg
- so old at this youngfuturefood
- Well, let's see ... 'this kind of tired' is often due to mental health issues. So, all of you entitled parents here, trying to one-up: it was your choice ...Continuity
- ... not to wear a condom. For many people with clinical depression (of which extreme fatigue is a symptom), that's not choice.
Stop comparing.Continuity - Too tired correct that sentence.helloeatbreathedrive

Three showers and a bath later I think I've got the camp fire smoke off me. If you're in Ontario, Killbear is beautiful.
- Been there many times. Great camping.Gnash
- I try and hang on to that campfire smell as long as possible :)Gnash
- If your clothing is made from natural fibres - cotton, wool etc. putting them on a warm radiator helps gets rid of smoke smell - normal and cigarette.face_melter

Was at the grocery store and saw a woman pull her mask down, sneeze to the side (where all the fresh produce was) pull her mask up and continue shopping, like it was normal behavior.
- one of those moments where you wish you could blink your eyes and she'd blink out of existence?Nairn
- That's fucking revolting.
Although, I commend you for not losing your shit, and punching her in the back of the head for it.Continuity - Which is what I would have been really tempted to do.Continuity

My wife is having an interview for an artist / illustration role in a corporate environment.
3rd / 4th round and things are looking/sounding good.
I have open headphones and i'm trying not to listen BUT I can't not listen.
Empathizing as I've been there; this job COULD change her and (by connection) my life.

A few years ago, I needed to throw away an ancient top-loaded VCR that i owned (yeah, I own a VCR, still). An rare thing (at least for this day & age). Wood panels, odd buttons, mic input, weird plugs on the back. Not something you see often these days.
I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to properly dispose of it. So i simply left it on the curb in front of my house, so i'd remember to take care of it later.
When i came back, there were two of the same, rare-ass VCRs standing next to another.
Can someone try to figure out a reasonable explanation for this?
- Put a pile of money on the curbscarabin
- It's called art, look it up.deadsperm
- Oh, it was art all along? I get it.jagara
- Did you get it wet or feed it after midnight?Morning_star
- UV light exposure mixed with 5g signal helped it's atom's split resulting in a duplication at a molecular level into two identical VCR's.shapesalad
- Would be awesome to customise it inside into a kick as bread toaster.shapesalad
- Alex and Chad are twin VCRs separated as babies when their parents are killed by a crime boss...calculator
- ... Twenty-five years later, they join forces to exact revenge on the people who killed their family.calculator
- Still have that Renegade box set?

- @nb haha... i should have :)jagara
- you started a movement, later that day, those same VCRs appeared on curbs all over the world.ESKEMA
- They live in packs in the wilddmay
- On a serious note, a good explanation is you had a neighbour with an identical model, and seeing yours, he also got rid of it.ESKEMA
- either that or you were drunkESKEMA
- I wanna push every button, and twiddle every knob on this thing.
God, I love physical interfaces.Continuity - This is a very early version of a VCR. I bet it's from the early 80s.It's way bulkier than the ones I had and toploaders were out of fashion by the mid 80s.CyBrainX
- I don't even know what those knobs on the right do.CyBrainX
- Listen to scarabin.garbage
- Well, I'm fairly certain one of those knobs would be to adjust the tape tracking, for when the tape goes a bit funky.Continuity

- How can you justify just leaving shit on the curb? do you live in a third world country?ArchitectofFate
- @ArchitectofFate no, Denmark. And i left it there for a few hours, to dispose of it properly, later. In the appropriate "electronics" bin.jagara

That VCR thing reminded me of when I was clearing out my apartment before I left the UK. I decided to bin almost everything I owned apart from my books and vinyl and the Quicksilver G4 I was using at the time. All the bulky shit I dumped onto the street for pickup (in Glasgow, at the time, if you left large items on certain street corners they were collected on specific days by the scaffie wagon). This included my x-large Sony CRT monitor that I stole from an old job, a dismal tv with knackered buttons, a rickety computer desk, and a few assorted boxes with magazines, papers, old clothes, whatever.
I go down and dump everything and return to start cleaning, 15 minutes later I idly looked out the window and the desk, monitor, and tv had vanished along with some of the boxes, the other box (with the magazines) was left. I guess the local neds weren't into old copies of Computer Arts and queer erotic fiction.
Living in Partick was a fucking ride, to say the least.

Went out at the weekend and got pretty wasted with a few friends. By 6am my friends Kat and Maxx set me up a bed in their living room. By 10am the sun was coming in through the window and outside noise was pissing me off. I went to get into bed with my mate Kat and I suppose she rightly kicked off, even though I'd done it a few weekends previously with no issue. I apologised, got my stuff and left. I was knackered and hungover.
Text her yesterday to see how things were and she went ape shit saying I was out of line for taking so long to text and not even apologise. She said i'd done it before and none of her other friends would ever dare do that and how I should take responsibility for my actions. I said if I'd known she was so pissed off my original text would've been a bit more fulfilling and made a light apology which pissed her off even more. Do i beg forgiveness or just call this one a day as I feel like absolute shit, and she really has a knack of making feel like this. It doesn't take much to make me feel this way recently anyway.

I love Kate Bush, and have been repeating a thing Gardener linked in the listening to thread for the past day or so.
I just realised I've listened to Kate Bush croon - beautifully, mind you - "Washing Machine" over and over.
At least, that's what I think I heard.

Snowpiercer, what a fucking dumb piece of shit.
I hated the movie, but decided to watch the show. How the fuck is this thing liked? It makes no sense whatsoever. Everyone is fucking dumb as shit, the loopholes are endless. Why do humans spend resources making shit shows like this? The only good thing on it are the actors, but they end up loosing all credibility by saying and doing stupid shit. Really annoyed by this fuckery which is also fucking stupid on my part.

Ok. Within my way of doing things in life... "wasted" 3 weeks of confinement-vacations doing ANYTHING other than drink beer, pool, bbq and drag my flip flops here to there.
Now, back to work.
