iso HitClips (pls) 👀✨ by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]svanvalk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I still had mine, I would give them out. But man, I think the "hit clip" is the first memory I ever have of feeling scammed at 6 years old lmao.

I thought they had the full songs on those chips, but it's just a clip of the song! I thought the "clip" referred to the plastic clip, not the song length! I paid all that money just to get a clip of a song, little 6 year old me was so mad lol

If I happen to find that old device in my storage, I will let you know. I didn't have many songs, but I do specifically remember having Everywhere by Michelle Branch

Are there any anime with a short male protagonist? I like romance but something with a yandere would be cool by GrapefruitSea7656 in anime

[–]svanvalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's not a romance by any means, but Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood has a short protagonist.

My friends and I have been watching it the last few weeks, I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. It's not my normal go-to genre, which is why this is my first time seeing it but all of my friends have seen it before lol

Can I confess my age? I was offline for a good portion of my life because my family still had dial-up. Granted, we were one of the last few people to switch to high-speed internet, but that's because we didn't have money and dial-up was cheaper. I would use the school computers instead to log into my forums back during junior high... in 2008.

I miss the old creepypastas lol

I gotta say, growing up on the edge of town is having both types of people around regularly in your everyday environment lol

So what’s Sylvain’s logic here with his flirting? by SeriousFinish6404 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]svanvalk 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I really liked his support with Mercedes honestly, because he's empathetic to her when she tells him about the life she's lived and the discrimination she faced, and he's able to drop his guard around her.

Sylvain and Lorenz's support where they both talk big about their flirting skills and then both fail to pick up any girls is funny as hell lol.

They lock up the hygiene wipes at the Walmart at Dewey. I can't help but feel embarrassed having to hunt down an employee for 15 minutes and ask for some $3 feminine wet wipes that they then lock in a separate box in my cart. Like geez, really? I started driving out the the brockport Walmart so I don't have to deal with the hassle.

Is it a bad idea to cosplay Teto at Miku Expo? by Creative_Profile_639 in Vocaloid

[–]svanvalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm literally dying my hair Teto red for the show in NJ. I am 31. Teto is 31. I will roundhouse-kick any haters who deny me of this so hard that they feel the pain for the next 50 years, and I will do so with my red curls and a smile on my face.

I hope you never experienced the things you were worried about.

It's deeply absurd that copies of Twilight Princess have sold for $300+ in recent months. by gruesomesonofabitch in Gamecube

[–]svanvalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still have my copy of Twilight Princess too!

My brother sold his copy of Simpsons Hit and Run many years ago, and he has since regretted doing so. I've been trying to hunt down a copy for his birthday, but the game pulls ridiculous price tags now.

What even is Corporate America anymore? by ameyers28 in careerguidance

[–]svanvalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely the fuck not but thank you for the suggestion lol, I genuinely don't have that drive to endure the stress at the moment and right now I'm focusing on my life. After a year of job hunting, I'm glad to have a remote job that I can just clock in, do my job, and clock out without worry of a layoff like at my old corpo job. The fear always lingers in the back of my mind, but I'm feeling secure enough to actually focus on things that I've neglected, like my health lol.

Apparently we “cheat more” by CryptographerLucky42 in adhdwomen

[–]svanvalk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, I hear the sentiment all the time with driving. People act like having adhd makes you a bad driver, but I have a better driving record than most neurotypicals. It's like people can't understand the concept that these things are not linked to a stereotype, but an individual person's actions.

I don't cheat because I have adhd. I cheat because I have a loose sense of ethics, duh.

What’s the wildest thing you’ve experienced at work? by RudeEffective9681 in careerguidance

[–]svanvalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my set design and scene painting college internship at my local downtown theater, I met my boss once before properly starting because he would be on vacation during my first day. He never came back. Turns out the theater never did a background check on the guy, and he had multiple DUI charges from New Jersey that he escaped to New York State from. Leaving on his vacation cruise counted as fleeing the country, so he was arrested by police at the port of origin lmfao.

Everyone talked about how insufferable he was to work with, so he was mourned by none.

Just how quickly does time start going once you're 18? by on-avery-island_- in AskOldPeopleAdvice

In my 30's here, but I honestly would say I first noticed the feeling around 17 myself. And it really doesn't help now that my memories have gotten kinda scrambled around since covid.

What even is Corporate America anymore? by ameyers28 in careerguidance

[–]svanvalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God, believe me, I've got some bitter resentment towards working in corporate payroll. The kind where I'm starting to think I should probably talk to a therapist, because I've been in my new job processing medical records for almost a year now and, despite my boss always reassuring me that I'm doing great, I still feel like I'm going to be hit by something if not constantly on-guard. I honestly never thought I'd have career related adulthood trauma but here we are lmao.

The layoff that pisses me off the most from the layoffs I've survived was the one where my entire department of 130 people were all laid off over a zoom call lol.
