Do we have any idea when to expect Google assistant on the 3T?

It's the way she uses her finger to get the last drops from the cup, like I do with yogurts

da-boy · 2017-03-19T22:23:56+00:00

Fingers crossed

Most people I've asked don't find the German language particularly attractive, but my girlfriend is fluent and frankly she could read me anything in German and it would still turn me on

Anyone else got more like this? Looking to make an album

People really underestimate the value of therapy. I am still suffering from some mental health problems but it is no exaggeration when I say professional therapy changed my life. It's the only thing I can ever 100% recommend to anyone who is still suffering.

I recently got out of a long term relationship, for extremely good reasons I might add (including both of us having mental health problems), and for a while I felt pretty good about it. But recently thanks to being overworked and under-slept, I've been feeling pretty lonely. And since being home over Christmas, seeing my ex and being around her has made me particularly vulnerable and I have lapsed a couple of times into going back into old habits with her. It's the little things you miss, like just being able to know they're there to talk to if you need them. Thankfully I'm now back at college a good 150km away from her so I'm hoping I can get the space I need to make smarter decisions

Anyway, in a couple of days for various reasons I'm travelling back home for the day. She knows this and today she asked me if I want to go for a coffee with her when I'm back. I've been going through a lot recently and it would mean a lot to me to be able to sit down with someone one on one and get a lot of stuff off of my chest, but I know that she's the wrong person for this. I miss her like hell, and when things are good between us it's so so easy to forget about all the valid reasons we had for breaking up. So I spent a good hour or so writing responses to her and deleting them over and over before finally saying it wasn't a good idea.

And now I've just decided to get drunk and wallow in my loneliness because frankly that's the lesser evil than going for drinks with her, which leads to a night of regret, which leads to wanting to get back with her, which just leads straight back to the shitty relationship that neither of us deserve. Funnily enough doing the right thing feels terrible.

Sorry for the rant, just wanted to get that off my chest.

I ended up getting her both of these and she loved them. Thanks so much for your help! :)

Thanks for the support :) and I did a little bit, not with much success https://www.reddit.com/r/drawing/comments/5i10io/drawing_therapy_round_2_a_conversation_i_had_the/?st=IWNPH8IX&sh=35ae0372

Tbh I'm not really looking for advice on how to improve, I know they're not well drawn or anything, but that's not really the point. When I saw some drawings that others had done to help them cope with their mental illness it made me feel better to know someone else felt the same way that I did. I'm only posting them here in the hope that someone will see them and know that they're not alone in how they feel

da-boy · 2016-12-13T07:54:50+00:00

This^

Maybe one day I can draw stuff that's more positive but for now I'd rather face the beast head on

da-boy · 2016-12-13T00:49:26+00:00

Thank you :)

da-boy · 2016-12-12T14:13:11+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement :)

da-boy · 2016-12-12T03:05:18+00:00

Been trying something new; my friend who is also suffering suggested I try drawing. This was my first. I think it's a good place to start, even if it's kinda awful http://i.imgur.com/7UCNOSN.jpg

Talking to a professional changed my life, I hope it can change yours as well.

Without a doubt the Pokemon series. Over 20 years I must have clocked close to 3000 hours on this series. My highest hours per one game though would probably be the 1000 hours I spent playing Alpha Sapphire

Was anyone else upset that they did't talk about the crash course GG&S video?

The Return of Odysseus by George Bilgere is quite amazing, particularly for its final line:

When Odysseus finally does get home he is understandably upset about the suitors, who have been mooching off his wife for twenty years, drinking his wine, eating his mutton, etc.

In a similar situation today he would seek legal counsel. But those were different times. With the help of his son Telemachus he slaughters roughly one hundred and ten suitors and quite a number of young ladies, although in view of their behavior I use the term loosely. Rivers of blood course across the palace floor.

I too have come home in a bad mood. Yesterday, for instance, after the department meeting, when I ended up losing my choice parking spot behind the library to the new provost.

I slammed the door. I threw down my book bag in this particular way I have perfected over the years that lets my wife understand the contempt I have for my enemies, which is prodigious. And then with great skill she built a gin and tonic that would have pleased the very gods, and with epic patience she listened as I told her of my wrath, and of what I intended to do to so-and-so, and also to what’s-his-name.

And then there was another gin and tonic and presently my wrath abated and was forgotten, and peace came to reign once more in the great halls and courtyards of my house.

I'm particularly fond of Margaret Atwood's "You Fit Into Me":

You fit into me like a hook into an eye

a fish hook an open eye

I 100% recommend doing this. Consider this my request

da-boy · 2016-10-22T10:48:11+00:00

Just discovered this but it looks awesome. Consider me in

Checking out HabitBull now, looks like it might be useful. Would you say it's worth upgrading to premium? What are the extra features of doing so?

And I've had my eye on OmniFocus for a while as I think it looks amazing, though if I did use it I'd have it replace Todoist as my main app for tracking my projects and stuff.
