Please share your triumph of the day

[Joe Molotov]

I crap bigger than you

[Purrp Skirrp]

I'm 15-20 lbs away from my ideal weight, so more dad bod than morbid obesity atm.

I do think it's almost all water weight, which you tend to stop retaining when transitioning to <20g carbs a day.

And don't underestimate the effects of medication that can cause blood sugar fluctuations, slow your basal metabolic rate, etc.

[Purrp Skirrp]

Did you go off your meds with your doctor's agreement?

First one yes, stopped 2 weeks ago, second one no which I took myself off last week. The combo is called California Rocket Fuel.

It was the first one, Effexor, under my doc's expertise to stop abruptly that's given me trouble. Probably one of the worst weeks of my life, up there with the last time Effexor and I suddenly parted ways. I liked reading antidotes online with the occasional heroin addict chiming in to say how much worse Effexor's withdrawal was.

Road fatalities per 100000 inhabitants

USA - 10.6
Denmark - 3.5

If you guys owned more cars and drove more you'd be able to catch up

[Cerveza mas fina]

Per 100k vehicles

Denmark 6.7
USA 12.9

Per 1 billion vehicle km

Denmark 4
USA 7.1

 

[Mupepe]

Sorry I don't know what a km is.  I'm sure miles would make my point clear.

Don't forget how the US lets people drive when they're 16, and you need to be 18 in Denmark. I know 2 years doesn't sound like much, but it is a lot of time when you're below 20. Plus public transportation is probably better in Denmark, so less people drive regardless, especially teenagers/people still in school.

[Phoenix Dark]

I'm compensating for my breakup depression by indulging in the weaknesses of the flesh - cardio, BBQ, and banging a Hispanic coworker.

[Joe Molotov]

Simultaneously or what?

[chronovore]

Simultaneously or what?

[Mupepe]

Pics of hispanic chick?

[chronovore]

Pics of BBQ pls.

[Madrun Badrun]

Pics of your lawn care and grounds keeping?

[Kara]

Is this the chick who texted you a photo of her in her underwear that your ex saw, PD?

(I like to keep my dossiers current.)

[Atramental]

Hispanic girls

Yes

[close]

[brawndolicious]

I'm guessing that and probably other stuff made her have confidence or trust issues. It'll be fine.

[Phoenix Dark]

For the record I didn't cheat or really have contact with her outside of work while I was in a relationship.

just random circumstance, man

[Valkyrie]

[Phoenix Dark]

Trust me, I'm a piece of shit. But I'm not THAT bad of a piece of shit. We broke up due to something from the past. I've never cheated on someone.

[Mupepe]

You are NOT a piece of shit.

You probably mentioned something like "DAMN! Becky was looking good today" 8 months back and she never forgot.  You need a chick that would be like "I KNOW! Hot AF"

[Cerveza mas fina]

not even mentally pd?

True, girls remember all sorts of shit no matter how trivial.

[CatsCatsCats]

Interview went well, really really want this job, fingers crossed 🤞

[chronovore]

 What are we, Catholic?

Helped someone get back on an ACA exchange plan after they lost their existing policy this year but didn't qualify for special enrollment under one of the Victorian allowances permitted. (Use the Heritage Foundation for your great Progressive achievements brehs.)

[Kara]

Also, Bernie would've won.

[I'm a Puppy!]

PD banging a coworker? Awesome! I'll wait for this to migrate to the struggle thread in a few weeks.

[samfish]

I've gotten two projects finished at work before lunch today, and that was WITH slacking off for the first hour or so.

[zomgee]

Currently sitting in the Ohio University commencement and there are two thousand people in front of me to get their degree.

So...

How's it going?

Edit: got that paper

I'm graduated.

[Valkyrie]

Congratulatiooooons!

[Phoenix Dark]

it's coming, no doubt. but until then

[Van Cruncheon]

[Mupepe]

I see what you did there

[CatsCatsCats]

That makes me cold to look at

[Kara]

imo British motor vehicles are more struggle than triumph with maybe the odd minor inconvenience corner cases.

[Huff]

congrats on the rain

[Madrun Badrun]

I love the rain.  Best thing ever.  You are a lucky man.

In a surge of true irony, after not being able to respect my boundaries and requests for no contact in PMs, Jack Remington has murdered me in the digital realm.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Oh I'll PM you Chrono. I'll PM you good!

[chronovore]

Thanks, Puppy.

You know what? I don't feel like rewarding his behavior with keeping information from you guys. Here it is:

Hi,

Can you please not accuse me directly or indirectly of being an alt? Regardless of who you may think I am, it's just a needless distraction. And if I were the person you accuse me of being, no one wants to see that person openly posting on the Bore.

Best,
Jack

I'll do you one better: I'll avoid you completely. Don't PM me again.

What an odd response. I make a civil request and you reply with a pretty disturbing level of hostility.

Fine. All the best.

The only odd part is that you've disregarded my simple request to not PM me again.

No, fuck off.

You harass someone unprovoked, get a polite request to stop, and then you posture as if you're the one being harassed?

You've always been a self-righteous piece of shit, so whatever.

Don't reply to this one and you won't get another PM.

You're not harassed, you're harassing me by specifically ignoring a simple request. You can't stand being ignored, or not having things on your terms. I used no foul language or disrespect. You asked for a consideration you were not due, while trying to deceive the board.

You can show me you're not a self-centered, transgressive, dishonest and judgmental cur by actually respecting my desire that you not interact with me again.

Fuck. OFF.

You talk about what considerations people are due while insisting you showed no disrespect. What a joke. Your self-righteousness knows no limits.

You start a hostile interaction, you don't get to define its parameters. But I will, by blocking you.

Anyway, yeah: If it walks like a Walrus and gets indignant like a Walrus, it's a Walrus, a Glen Shinobi, or whatever he's pretending to be this month so he can have a fresh start. Dude doesn't need another alt, he needs to focus on his own problems.

[Huff]

Off topic but has anyone noticed that this jack guy posts a lot like that loser the walrus.god remember him?  Maybe they're brothers

[I'm a Puppy!]

I bet good money that even if they're not the same person they both bring guitars to parties

[Huff]

Maybe he should try a fiddle instead

[Purrp Skirrp]

Like a thicc layer of subcutaneous fat I need to get this off my chest:
Dufus was right for once
My scale was so very off. Take your likes back. Dufus, this is your triumph now. Savor it like the candies you speak so highly of.

[Madrun Badrun]

I love the rain.  Best thing ever.  You are a lucky man. 

Shirley Manson alt detected

Only took you guys a decade to find me out.

It's because you used a garbage alt.

"You dishonest and judgmental cur!" is going in my list of things to bellow at another player if I ever get the chance to play Fantasy Flight's Black Crusade.

[bluemax]

Got a job offer!

[chronovore]

Had a shit-ton of Unity/Maya work drop on me yesterday during a two-hour meeting, which I dutifully plowed through for the next 10 hours, and will spend most of the next three days working on.

It's an internal struggle, but whenever I get stumped on something frustrating, I have been successfully remembering how much more I know than a week ago, a month ago, a year ago.

[recursivelyenumerable]

I made some pasta via an ad hoc "recipe" I "invented" by mixing together random amounts of a bunch of random ingredients and it turned out pretty good.

so they do use maya in game dev? not 3ds max? thought that was the case but im curious

3DS Max was primary for a long time, but Maya is preferred by most of the artists I've directed. In fact, after 5-6 weeks of complaining, most artists who had been Max experts dislike going back to Max. There are things that are easier in Max, but Maya is significantly more robust and extensible.

There is a pretty good Blender course on Udemy that will help you go through the basics. They also have a course in how to automate 3D modeling using Python.

[samfish]

Blew off the whole morning at work and bullshitted my boss that I'd be very productive.

It's a bit of a scummy triumph, but god damnit, it's a triumph.

[Valkyrie]

Oh look, I'm no longer the newest member around here.

[archnemesis]

I meant in general, I'm not really looking for a specific course. I'm guessing the best way might just be a book and video?

I personally find it much easier to learn when there are assignments to complete. I can't think of any skill that I've gained from only reading a book. If there aren't assignments then I usually create a hobby project for it.
