Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Many years ago I was doing motorcycle courier work in DC. A car courier on his way to Dulles airport had some ******* pull the "I'm a bug and YOU are my windshield" bit on him.

The driver asked for a few days off to recover then never came back to work.

Im 5 fights away of getting done with Palworld.

2 raid bosses, their ultra version then the helicopter. Then i will take a break from it at least till second semester.

The party is ready, near maxed setup, but first attempton the normal version went bad.

My confidence kinda shattered. We will a ew attempt soon

Busy night.

Random Thoughts fell to the 20th place in the recently viewed topics.

My FFXI brain finally got the better of me, and after saying I don't like PLD for years but my brain pestering me with, "Oh look at that you have 70 in SIRD gear now... just a little more and 100 SIRD on PLD... You could make Duban 2 and basically have free Ochain..."

So last few nights I started solo cleaving on PLD in Doh Gates. Up to 174 JP already.

I remember when I first came back on Vyre to the post Adoulin iLvl era. I went to Foret de Hennetial and mass pulled toads and pugils to cap merits and earned 100 JP over the course of... idk 5 nights? Going at it hardcore.

This has been 3 sessions of like 2.5ish hours. With technique refinement/other people interfering with my mass pulls. And so much more progress. JP wise, anyway. I wanted to cap my merits to spam more Cloud of Darkness so I could gear my mules (Vyre and Dumakulem) in the accessories while I wait on Lady Luck to grant me a mask. 7/9 on accessories so far, just need 1 more cape and 1 more neck.

Really funny on Duma because he's only far enough in Rhapsodies to summon 5 trusts. His progress as a character has always been my most slack assed, mission wise. He still has an 85 Masamune I made for him in the Meeble BUrrows era, because the group I was in at the time needed more DD than his RDM or NIN could muster.

I always like the stoic image of PLD, but in the end, i was performing better on RUN.

I even made a buttgang, but i always sucked in this job

internet i love it

Talking about saudi, i hope Thunderjet is well with his temp(?) ban.

Now Im looking for a new manga serie to read.

Generally my filters are: status: complete, chapter: 30+

Despite those filters, i generally skip webtoons, manwas, shoujo, yuri, etc.

I picked “Alice in Borderland”.

60~70 chapters. Lets see

What about yaoi? ;D

? not sure if you noticed that the guy above you is literally him
Also he ain't the one from Saudi on those boards

Dont say it out loud, Rooks dont like this workaround!

No one on Bahamut is buying Impatiens, and it's driving me nuts!

You are being very impatiens expecting those to sell quick.

You know?

Ive been feeling kinda bad for laughing at a Nynja's joke.

I feel like I did something bad.

That the world got worse by that.

The feeling of guilty isnt disappearing in my chest.

Don't worry, you are effectively contributing to society by laughing at other people's jokes.

What you are feeling is lactic acid building up in your abdominal muscles from laughing at my god-tier dad joke.

im not sick anymore

/slowclap

Also, nice, it was long since i read you

EDIT: just to keep the tradition…

Yeah - *** sucked - stuck in bed with a sinus headache

It’s incredibly sad.

Apparently in the US, almost 50,000 people committed suicide in 2022. Vast majority are men, ages 34-65.

Personally I think the internet has played a major factor, exacerbating mental health issues. Economic disparity of course plays very large role, as well.

We were better off when we didn't know every *** thing that happened 24/7. The world is a depressing place when you have access to the knowledge of it.

Couple it with 24/7 spam phone calls, non-stop spam emails, someone trying to steal your info/credit cards all day every day and scraping by "pay check to pay check". And one financial setback away from bankruptcy. And the only break you get is blackout drunk or too high too care.

Yeah, wonder why so many people Sudoku.

I used to think the human race was fundamentally good with bursts of bad. Now I think the opposite.

This will sound silly, but I often fantasize about great technological advancements being made such as Star Trek’s replicators so that we can solve humanities deepest issues such as poverty and crime. Maybe one day we will have that.

Maybe then everyone won’t be miserable or a piece of ***and we can stop fighting each other when we should be banding together, breaking bread, and fighting the economic machine that oppresses us all.

We will never get there because money is the alpha and the omega.

Money is god.

I believe that people are predisposed to do more good than bad, but we don't always hear enough about the good and always hear about the bad. One of the reasons I never got into any of the major social media was because I don't want to hear that negativity day in and day out.

About money, it really depends on your situation. A destitute person and a filthy rich person may both put high value on money, but the motivations are entirely different.

What was the movie where a scientist learned to grow a potato from nothing in an effort to solve world hunger and end poverty? It’s at least 10 to 15 years old now. He was hunted by the corporate elite because it would have broken the capitalist money machine.

I can’t find it by searching on ChatGPT but I know it exists in my memory. I can’t remember the name.

Smart move. You dodged the brain washing machine.

But Nickeny, were you able to smite Bumba while abed with sinus infection?
