Please share your triumph of the day

[Tasty]

Sorry, as far as directional urination and resistance to UTIs go, penis is still the GOAT.

[Himu]

Don't care! Don't want one.

[Atramental]

[Himu]

Penises are not evil. They can be very attractive.

[CatsCatsCats]

Lol what do you do if you're in nature, like cmon women existed in the wild too, pissing all along

[chronovore]

NEWSFEED, pls.

[Himu]

Sitting down to pee is far less convenient tho 🤔

Nope.

#TeamHoldItWithToiletPaperWhilePeeing2017

Okay so I thought I should explain. There was a rapper who used that as an insult once I think? I read it once. It's a good insult. Basically, it's a creative way of calling someone a "fairy": someone who site down to pee and uses toilet paper to hold it for fear of touching it.

Being honest. They are very attractive! If there's one thing pop culture has taught me it's that attractive things cannot possibly be evil

[Himu]

Flood waters are starting to recede fully. Things are starting to get back to "normal" in Htown as far as normal can be right now. Lots of work to be done still, tho! It's wonderful seeing everyone band together! I love my hometown!

Haven't masturbated in two days. Praise be to God! I think my T blockers are working again. Thanks a lot for taking your time, assholes! Today I didn't think about sex once. First time in months. It felt so amazing and I was in control again. Testosterone truly is poison and male sex drive is disgusting. Can't wait to reverse my sex drive with E so I don't live with crippling depressing!

[Oblivion]

edit: whoops, wrong thread!

Oh. I thought it was a gender dysphoria thing.

No shit lol, my point is peeing in nature much easier for men due to having a penis.

[toku]

is it though?

[Tasty]

Yes.

[Himu]

It takes the same amount of effort. You just can't squat.

[Tasty]

Squating is, by definition, effort.

[chronovore]

is it though?

How is this even an argument?

Men can unzip, pull their penis out the fly, and piss.

If women are in the same jeans, they have to unzip, unbutton, drop jeans and underpants, exposing a lot more skin, before they can piss. I guess if they're in a dress and going commando underneath, they can just stand with their legs apart and let fly, but that only happens in Penthouse Forum.

[CatsCatsCats]

I find ease of urination a strange pole to hang one's hat on

[Himu]

Pull down pants and panties, squat, pee. That's not much effort.

Anyways, today is the best day in months. I think the T blockers are finally working to maximum effect again and I'm not grouchy anymore. Today I'm all smiles!  I also have motivation to do things again.

Purge that testosterone poison!

Depression lift yourself from my body!

You can hang your hat on my strange pole if you'd like. 

[seagrams hotsauce]

Gonna get stoned with one of my best friends on Saturday for the first time in over a decade

Slightly less triumphant, but still gratifying; put a pair of earbuds through the laundry and they still work fine

[Mr Gilhaney]

Signed up to finally get my drivers license at age 27. Better late than never I guess, but kind of nervous about it, and just finally signing up feels like a bit of a triumph. 

[Valkyrie]

Why do I feel guilty for having a good day/waking up feeling great? It's odd, because that usually doesn't happen when I feel good. I haven't really been super down lately either so there isn't a massive jump in feelings and mind. Oh well, I'll take it.

[Phoenix Dark]

Was going to cut the grass when I get home from work, so I can watch football without the mental anguish of knowing I have un-finished adult chores. Well it's raining so...guess I don't have to be an adult.

football when I get home

[chronovore]

After three attempts to clear up a root canal problem with antibiotics, giving up and removing the expensive-as-fuck ceramic crown, more antibiotics inserted directly into the empty roots, and a three week trip that prevented getting my new tooth, I FINALLY HAVE A NEW CROWN.

 

Thanks to amalgam-centric Japanese dentistry and my frequent lapses in night-guard usage, by the time I'm 70 I'm going to look like Richard Kiel's JAWS character.

Plus its fall so the grass wont be growing as fast now

Spent all day yesterday trying t resolve an issue. Come in today and fix it in 10 minutes

Not my triumph but super happy to see one of my good friends reach his second Patreon goal within a week of his first. It's super encouraging - we collaborated on a 5-episode web series three-ish years ago, finishing the first ep and then launching a Kickstarter which failed and sorta dampened the project for both of us, so it was cancelled. Then I saw him start a YouTube channel around animation, and through hard work and consistent updates over the last two years he's gained a bit of a following. However I didn't expect him to start hitting so many Patreon goals so quickly!

Really shows what a plan and hard work can do. And if anyone's interested in animation (Himu!) please consider supporting him on Patreon, he's super talented and knowledgable despite being so young.

I mull around eventually starting a Patreon myself but I'll need to pump out many more vids than I currently do (two a year, lol), so that's off the table until I get there.

[skullstorm]

I bought a bunch of peaches which turned out to be really mealy so instead of tossing them I made fruit leather, never done it before but it turned out really nice

[Cerveza mas fina]

Got myself a Nintendo Switch to cheer up after having to bring back the puppy. Shit is pretty sweet.

[Cerveza mas fina]

After 6 months I sold something at work, daaaaamn that was a lot of work. So relieved as this basically keeps me in the game a few months more.

What a day

I was volunteered by my manager to give a short (10 min) presentation to the department head from the Tokyo office who was in town. He seemed to like my stuff. Of course I weebed a bit and introduced myself in Japanese

I hope you started it with "Ore-sama wa saa… taishita mon da ze~."

[Raist]

And closed with "Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru".

Seeing the last two posts with romaji instead of proper kana mini-triggered me.

I guess I've finally turned into a full on weeaboo.

All according to keikaku.

Pixel XL 2 tho

[Mupepe]

I finally got my new surround sound hooked up. I went all in with Dolby Atmos and a reference tier system. My god. I was afraid Atmos would be a bust and i wouldn't be able to tell the difference and then i would have to explain it to my wife after talking her into it. Welp. This shit is ridiculous. I'm watching mad max fury road and when Joe is speaking from above the sound comes from above. Cheers from the crowd just surround you.

だって、このサイトのやつらはこれぐらい読めると思っているか？

[Madrun Badrun]

Passed my depth oral.  There was a lot of awkwardness, struggling, and foaming at the mouth, but in the end I came through. 

Congratulate me on being a Ph.D. Candidate. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Or refer to me know as Ph.D. C. Dandy.  That works too.

[Yeti]

Looking forward to calling you Doctor Dandy.

I've lost nearly 100 pounds since April... was so damn hungry I ate at Burger King and Jack in the Box by choice without guilt because I got my ass working out and destroyed that shit when I got home.  Ended up going an extra hour into my routine and burned enough to take tomorrow off. I hate days where I'm driving because really there is nothing but shit food on the road. Sadly I have lost 2 inches in height this year, which is a strange side effect.

I've got a long way more to go, but this was a triumph for me. I'm almost nearing being under 300 pounds for the first time in my adult life. I barely remember being a smaller person or in my 200's. I just ballooned and stayed that way for so long. Another positive to all of this is I got the missus to join me on my journey. We went shopping today in an actual store for both of us.  :'(

[benjipwns]

acquaintance asked me to look at their cousin or brother or cousin's brother or somebody's computer repair business page they're trying to setup for errors/etc.

he had listed all his hours as 9AM to 5AM

so i said "is he actually going to work Taco Bell hours" and they said "lol"

awww yeah, shout out to the Yum! Brands fam

[Freyj]

Posting this in the triumph thread out of optimism:

Final(?) interview with a REALLY good job prospect early next week. I'm pretty sure the job is mine to lose at this point from the feedback I've received. Unfortunately this is a whiteboard interview and my success rate with those is mixed. Despite the idea being to communicate, ask for clarification, etc., stuck is still stuck when it comes to solving algorithm problems.

Trying not to put too much on this interview, but this has been a shit year and I really would like to get back to enjoying life and not taking anti-anxiety / anti-depressants to just weather the week.

Is losing height a common thing with weight loss? I'd never heard of that before

[Madrun Badrun]

Congrats dude!  That takes a lot of will power. 

[Huff]

You the man, G!

[zomgee]

How are you doing it, G? Good old diet and exercise?

Nice going. So awesome.

[chronovore]

On Facebook, my possibly-racist, very pro-Trump aunt shared my photo album of Prince posing in pastoral settings.

I don't know what's real anymore.

[chronovore]

Actually, ^^^ that surprised me so much, I forgot why I opened this thread. I had a standing desk at my gamedev job in 2012, and have missed it ever since. A week ago, I figured out how to arrange my wife's and my offices so I can have a standing desk again. She was getting ready for an international trip, so I had to wait until she left to insure against unplanned interruption.

I managed to get the whole thing shifted over this morning, and it works exactly like I expected. Even in the hour or so I've had it, I've noticed how much more I move and shift and have to monitor my posture. I'm sure it's going to be a tiring first week, but it felt GREAT when I had this every day before. I'm sure I'll re-adapt.

[Cerveza mas fina]

All desks in Denmark are electrical by law so you can adjust however you want on the fly, I alternate between sitting and standing all the time during the day

I'm also jealous of the natural light standards in Denmark. Coworkers from there always talk about it when they come to our office

"no, he never accomplishes anything, he just spends all day switching his desk and things between standing and sitting mode"

"he's our best employee by far"

[Freyj]

standing desks

I would've had the same reaction a few years ago, but working from home or living a mostly sedentary lifestyle it's kind of nice to be able to stand part of the day.
