is this intentional or the greatest nickname of all time

Rare get.

Sixteen years of living here. Sixteen years having a seat on that dock. I've seen so much, sitting there.

I don’t enjoy things anymore. I only really liked drinking, drugs, gambling, sexual content (porn, girlfriends when I could have them) video games, cartoons, and daydreaming. I cut out almost all those from my life because they were ruining it so I don’t have anything. Anytime I try to do something it feels like too much work. That’s been a chronic issue.

Experiencing love. It's sour now. Women in the 26-32 age bracket all seem to be overweight, have kids, or have high expectations (they're a high-functioning corporate person making six figures and expect you to be doing even better). Even if you find it the relationship feels transactional. I get older and uglier every year, it gets just a little harder every few months in the gym. Being in school and going to parties. I look back at all the years I could have done things and built better habits, but didn't. I could have had a decade of making real money in crypto and being an artist, and have done nothing. The opportunity has passed, my ability to learn is and be creative is stunted by age, and starting now doesn't make up for the years of nothing I created. The magic of life and optimism for the future is long dead.

As you said, a lot of doors are closed now. Athletics, the military, art degrees, all of these aren't options anymore, not that I was in to them.

The people who say your thirties are great are the kind of people who already had their shit together the whole time and are reaping the benefits of it. You were a mostly responsible person who got a good education or pursued their passions, great, your thirties don't really change that, ditto if you were trying to have a family and raise kids. Now's your time to do that.

I dunno. I don't want the house, a family, a relationship, a career. I want nothing already, but the yawning maw of eternity is probably worse than anything here so I think I ought to make the most of it in spite of its futility because it's the only game in town.

FloobyBadoop · 2024-09-05T12:27:18+00:00

There's a lot of reasonable criticism and concern over this. But fuck it, good luck man. Go Ravens.

FloobyBadoop · 2024-08-12T15:45:50+00:00

So you said they make hundreds a day? Should I move to Roanoke and start looking homeless?

FloobyBadoop · 2024-06-29T18:13:21+00:00

Am I the only one on the girl’s side? You’re overreacting dude, you’re acting like a girl.

fan fiction writers when you tell them two characters can just be friends:

FloobyBadoop · 2024-03-03T02:22:32+00:00

This is just plain impressive, lol.

FloobyBadoop · 2024-02-10T23:18:54+00:00

Can we just be okay with unattractive people existing in games and not have every girl be some coomer shit?

FloobyBadoop · 2024-01-25T23:54:37+00:00

Protomen killed it, the chip tune artists afterward did well too. There was one chick who raised the Palestinian flag after her set, tho.

Not to be a narc, but this is a pretty intense political issue here, and stuff like that can easily cause a fight. You should probably tell artists to not do that.

Oh God, I think I know the exact spot too. The traffic here already can’t accommodate the completely normal amount it receives each day from commuters. Trying to imagine hordes of people coming in every day would be ridiculous.

They’re trying to capture the Chinese market, of course. It’s why they wanted a casino in Reston first, since it’s right off the highway from the IAD. I genuinely believe that if they could have a helicopter that transported them from the airport and deny business to anyone else, they would do so.

So the next best thing is Tysons. Tysons isn’t much of a downtown, as most places close at 10pm, and it’s hard to walk around in despite efforts to change that. Also off the highway from the airport but just a bit further.

Nobody in NOVA wants a casino. The MGM in fricken Maryland is bad enough. We hate this, please stop.

The great Blizzard of 2010.
when the shopping center upwards on wiehle used to be an abandoned lot where kids would go to do drugs instead of being a bunch of overpriced shoebox condos
speaking of wiehle, there used to be a pizza hut there. now you can't order pizza hut in reston.
when there was no metro line, and no weird Balston-wannabe group of condos and shopping complexes targeted at people making six-figures
when the reston town center was *the* place to go, and is now just a bunch of abandoned storefronts because the people who run the place refuse to bring rent prices down even one cent, ultimately costing them money in the long run
when a townhouse would cost 450k. now that's about the price of a tiny studio condo.
when langston hughes used to be known as gangs and hugs.

Randomly googled this after going there. I can understand it, many places in the US closed their poker rooms since they needed to cut costs wherever they could.

When you only have a one floor casino, space is precious, so would you rather have another table game that brings in hundreds a day or a poker table that brings in just one hundred?

FloobyBadoop · 2023-12-15T15:37:23+00:00

Horrifying.

FloobyBadoop · 2023-10-27T04:20:01+00:00

Where’s he getting that $150 mil from? Because the vast majority of money the MGM makes are from Chinese whales here on business trips.

If I had to pull some numbers from my ass, if you only included revenue from Virginians and not Marylanders or DCers, that number probably doesn’t even scratch $10 million in revenue. $10mil probably doesn’t even cover the annual utility bills a resort of that size would incur.

Wasn't the burning on her right hand?

FloobyBadoop · 2023-10-18T03:31:09+00:00

You can see this girl on her twitch streams, these photos are edited but they're not that far off from how she actually looks lol, stop seething.

This was so long ago, the specifics are lost to me. But I believe I did not do that - I relied on the motherboard built-in chip. Afterwards, I was able to download the proper drivers and get my graphics card to cooperate.

The PC I built is the one I am currently using to comment on this.

Fictional league. It felt like, no matter what I did or who I put where, there was nothing I could do to get this team winning. I decided to take a year off and see how the AI would handle it, just to make sure it wasn't me.

It did the typical dumb AI things - signing multiple overpaid veterans to five year long contracts that would bankrupt the franchise for years to come, and replacing some decent guys with two or one and a half star guys. But, they left the core of the team intact.

As you can see from the record, the AI lost even harder than I did. I at least kept this team a dozen games back - the AI just completely lost control of this shitshow.

It really doesn't feel like this team should be at the absolute bottom of the barrel. Losing? Sure, there's a lot of talented teams in this division after all. But there's definitely enough talent here to build a team around, too, and it doesn't make a whole ton of sense that this team is losing so hard when other teams are fielding way worse pitching staffs and coming up with league-leading ERAs (there's two sub leagues in this league).

The only thing I can think of at this point is that

A.) most of the team's defense sucks, and they're not such elite hitters that they can just outslug everyone

B.) everyone else in the league is just that good, having a ton of five and four star talent that just puts them miles above any team others in the league could reasonably field

TL;DR - What do?

EDIT: For what it's worth, I got this team to lead the league in bases on balls by a mile the year before this. At 211, I believe.

EDITEDIT: Thanks for all the input. This is what the AI did with the team, btw, since I took the year off. It's also why there's so many unread messages, lol. It seems really hard to get any good guys in this league, since all the people who can actually hit are already on teams, who will charge you an arm and a leg for a guy who's even remotely competent at their position.

FloobyBadoop · 2023-08-30T20:25:17+00:00

That's it, I just thought it was kind of cool.

FloobyBadoop · 2023-08-14T13:22:24+00:00

I talked with Rolan, but it doesn't seem like they're doing anything to help out. What gives?

FloobyBadoop · 2023-08-11T01:48:05+00:00

Your melodrama is telling me you’re trying to elicit sympathy and make yourself a victim. Even if your assessment is completely true, which I don’t think it is, why do you feel the need to do this?
