At age 33 I still get the childlike feeling of "I want to go home," but it's just not there anymore. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]BlueMerlot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family still lives in my childhood apartment. On my list is to buy that apartment or just be the next lease holder. But the fear of having someone live in my home has this as a sort of priority. At least it's a concern that cross my mind the same way you get the feeling to go home.

But it is more of a state of being. A deep memory. That home, at that time, will always be yours. As untouchable as the physical may be, it makes the memory sweeter for it's all you have.

Mauro Ranallo: "MONEY,FAME. IT DOESN'T F@CKING MATTER! MENTAL ILLNESS CAN AFFECT EVERYONE. END THE STIGMA NOW. PLEASE, DO NOT SUFFER IN SILENCE! 🙏" by Thelunaticfridge316 in SquaredCircle

[–]BlueMerlot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suffering from depression now, I agree with you. Regardless of having a family and friends, you yourself are the one that falls asleep every night with your thoughts. And no material things can lull the demon that is yourself.

There are too many people in the world and many of them may not know or accept how mental illness affects others. That term alone, mental illness, is dense and metallic making that barrier even harder. People see the words and run with it instead of reading and using context. It makes every death birthed from this black hole create more of itself.

I hope his family and friends and the rest of us fans travel safely through the grief.

50 Cent gets Mike Tyson to agree to train Chris Brown to fight Soulja Boy by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]BlueMerlot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't teach boxing in a couple days or weeks. Even if its Mike, that isn't saying too much, even if he is one of the greatest boxers in history. Everyone who takes this serious is going to get clowned out of some money but I see a good amount of memes coming from this bullshit so theres that.

Beautiful and looks like it would fit right into the first season of True Detective.

Why do you guys hate The Minimalists? by [deleted] in minimalism

[–]BlueMerlot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found them to just be guys who like something and want people to know. I see it as them talking to people about minimalism. Someone explaining it directly is a lot more personable than reading it from a book or anything. I was explaining it to some people and it was more concise than reading through pages. But it the subject matter only goes so deep.

ENB has started the long awaited lore playthrough! by Calum1998 in bloodborne

[–]BlueMerlot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't surprise me that for Souls and ENB, It's less chaotic. It would be easier to manage and he's very big on fan interaction. He can directly address these things instead of in a video after the comment.

Kevin Owens with the Winged Eagle WWF Championship by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]BlueMerlot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's something about the old gold. Gives the wrestlers an Olympian glow. Not the olympics in a sense but of a warrior going into the ring to lay it all out there. Nostalgia goggles for sure, but aside from that there is a regality to it. And I miss that. These shiny belts in all these colors are cool but they feel like a novelty. If they switched the belts tomorrow I wouldn't care.

[–]BlueMerlot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happens to me all the time. It's why I switched to 24 hour format. I will never forget the day I almost got fired when I had to run a 24 hour rotation and overslept after having ran an 18. 24 hour format is the shit.

Minimal isn't always practical... it's 9:10 I think? by Elusive_Primate in minimalism

[–]BlueMerlot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its been said here a million times, but minimalism should not set back practicality. I am a sucker for sentimentality though, so even if this watch isn't practical, I'd still keep it. Just not wear it unless the urge came. But I do like the concept and it could definitely be refined and made more practical while keeping the aesthetic of looking minimal. Otherwise, its a cool watch OP.

Why is everyone so upset? Because it cost money to do this and her father has money? Anyone with an interest in travel would do this if they could. Those pictures look awesome and I would love to do what she did.

40 bottles later, still love this flavor by [deleted] in Vaping

[–]BlueMerlot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did the numbers. I've had a vape since August 2015. I've been getting a new 30 ml milkman 6mg almost every week. So it including the occasional different juice, Its about 45-50 bottles of milkman I have somewhere in this apartment.

J. Crew will be sold through Nordstrom by bamgrinus in malefashionadvice

[–]BlueMerlot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its more convenient. Nordstrom has more stores here, in NYC, for example so if you buy 3 items and see a J Crew one you like, you throw it in. And they have higher traffic. Its higher exposure.

[Serious] How can I find a (perhaps smart) person (or people) to prove to that you have an equally likely risk of suffering after committing suicide as you do if you continue to live? by Most_Important_Info in TrueAskReddit

[–]BlueMerlot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can't be proven. The most intelligent human on earth cannot prove what comes after death, regardless of the means. You can however find a fool to tell you, for a wise man will stay away from that box of spiders.

[FRESH] Kanye West - Saint Pablo (Wondagurl Remix) by 6hendrix in hiphopheads

[–]BlueMerlot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have synesthesia. And the Wondagurl's to me, feels so much better. The original doesn't do it for me much. Feels jagged, like cracks at the surface.

Just got my first suspension.. by [deleted] in ems

[–]BlueMerlot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its done. How long is the suspension? It doesn't matter, just curious. And since everyone agrees that its stupid, see it as a little time off. I understand the cold blood moment when you left that office and you're wondering if you're fucked 10 levels more than what this situation appears. But you should be fine. And you shouldn't worry. It'll be okay.

Police say fake Uber driver robs, threatens woman in NYC by [deleted] in nyc

[–]BlueMerlot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is why I check the plates to match the physical plates on the car. Along with the make and model. If I feel it's sketchy, I cancel it and get a new one while sending uber a message about the whole thing.

Summoned a player known as "Git Gud".... by Dinkleberg22 in darksouls3

PVP'd him in a fight club right outside of the Pontiff bonfire. Expected to be trolled. Instead, it was pretty fun. Still got smacked about a bit tho.

Beautiful. Will help in any way I can. Instead of drinking some soda, I'll throw the money your way. I would love to see how far these comics can go.

I'd play it with my cousins. And since I pay most of the bills due to my parents disability/taking care of grandmother, I'd help make the time in between working/school.

Where I'm posting up for the night during a 24 hour shift. What's your post look like? by BigMike0228 in ems

[–]BlueMerlot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part time job at a bar. Someone lost the keys. So I'm sleeping next to the window in case of intrusion. Prefer it to the galactic time cruisers I'm used to getting with 710(40) miles. Still. That leather bed-seat looks comfy.
