idk, try https://postimages.org/ or other websites, I never liked imgur :\ thanks a lot xD
tinypic's also good and i always use http://picresize.com/ to resize them and such, and https://www.canva.com/photo-editor/ just in case i have to make little edits.. imgur has always been hard to get accustomed to for my tastes xD
I have been where you are! I have been there many times... and I often felt like giving up. But I did not, and look at me now, I am old but I am happy. Don't ever give up my friend.
A mercenary, always. 'Cos regular service is reserved for shitty nationalist macho normies & aunts.
But then again, getting executed for being caught working a job can be seen as a disadvantage ;p
Well, I'm an asshole some days. Disclaimer: I didn't intend to trash-talk servicemen as a whole, that'd be a...distasteful? thing to do to all the folks that are actually being great people. I only have a problem with exactly the kind of refuse i described: noxious squares can go dig a hole and kindly rot there. Y'know, how according to some PoS' you are supposed to "carry yourself with dignity", "be an upstanding citizen" or stuff like BUK HONUR OJCZYSNA and other pretentions to universal, uh, morals. And those would somehow preclude, like, reading, counterculture sensibilities and, say, queerness. Then again, I always dreamed of being in a position to be an actual United-Statesian patriot instead of an amusing USAboo on the other side of the world. Yea, I am fully aware of the whole naturalization deal, through service or otherwise, though I'm frankly too caught up in my maternal hellhole here to - presumably ever - leave...
Cheers for the courage to face the textwall ;p
My father tried to join the Air Force here, but he did not have the vision for it either - he joined the Navy instead, and it ruined his life unfortunately, without much compensation, a few decades later.
I wanted to be a artist and also an astronaut when I was younger. Those are the two I remember, even with all my brain fog. Maybe I should've thought more along the lines of something involving heavy reading, since I took a liking to encyclopedias around six or seven years old. My family wanted to go to the beach for a vacation one time, and I was hiding because I wasn't allowed to take encyclopedias with me. Those things were so powerful, parting with them, or even the idea of such a thing at that point in time, brought me to tears.
And yes, I found your trees references on replies funny, though I did not respond directly.
Although it would have been awesome to fly at mach 3 through the clouds, I don't regret. I might have ended up bombing people in Iraq and Afghanistan and that is not me. Thanks for sharing your "story." No worries... I drink a few beers in the evening and get silly.
Ah, I quit drinking maybe... 14 or 15 years ago? I never set a date, since it's one day at a time for me (only today is what is for me). Haven't touched any since, aside from some medicinal tinctures with small amounts in them - and you do "drops" at a time, so it's hardly any impact, and I have used some Nyquil maybe once or twice, but I tend to avoid it for others if I can. I don't like adding that kind of stuff into my system if I can help it (the cough/flu meds).
I do love an alternative brew I found called kava. Great for my anxiety, and I buy the actual root itself broken down... then I can stick it in a cloth, and massage it into water to make a kava grog. Really good stuff - reminds me of alcohol, but it has extra effects, and my thoughts are still fairly clear. It's a little pricey for me right now, so I'm on a break, but I plan to buy some more again soon.
Oh yeah, and I agree with the whole bombing thing. All that war stuff... It is sad to see humans unable to come to agreements on an intellectual scale, and have to resort to violence on any kind levels. It's almost like... devolution, instead of raising the bar, and our standards to a higher virtue or whatever. Hard to explain (I'm a bit chatty at times, with my autism spectrum stuff, or whatever, so it comes out all weird or wrong sometimes). It's... to me... the weakest form or way of handling something. Maybe one day people can start to agree more, and look beyond - see what we all have in common with each other, instead of pointing out what others are doing wrong/being judgemental etc. But, I guess in an ironic sort of way, I guess I am doing exactly the same thing in a way by saying that the violence is wrong.
Yeah... I am racist against racists and I hate haters, but then I always remember one of my favorite quotes, "to err is human to forgive divine" and this is what I try to live by. I understand, the small amount of alcohol in tinctures makes the body absorb it better. You are very wise my friend. Thank you for sharing.
awww... too bad... do you have a plan what job you want to do now? or are you already old enough that you've chosen your job. What do you do currently?
Well, I am also quite "old"... hit the 30 in january this year... But hey - as long as you don't feel old, you're not old :D I am also a husband, but being a father will have to wait a year or two for me (and that's not, because my wife or me don't want to)..
How old are your kids? Do you play games with them? AND most important: Did you show them the "good" old games and / or consoles you loved and used to have? ;-)
Dude! The 30's are the finest years of a man's life!!! You will agree with this someday. I hit 50 in January this year.. and no, I do not feel old at all and I never will. Steamgifts is my social site. I am bored with facebook and I find it idiotic most of the time. I am a total man-child! lol My son is almost 12 years old and it is my fault that he is a gaming freak like his father, but now he mostly plays with his friends on the PS4. You should get children, it is life's greatest reward.
And I will get children in a few years... but at the current time - if you have and earn low money, then you shouldn't get children... this will change in about 1,5 year, so i have to wait until then before my wife and me planning to get kids
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego was my first PC game ever! When my Dad bought me my first PC he included this game in the package... unfortunately, I could not play it due to video card incompatibility.
Darn, not a bad game :) used to play it at school on Macs and BBC micros I think, if remember correctly :) I think may have got on C64 and 486 also xD sad to hear the GPU didn't support it.. back in the 286-486 days gpu and memory issues were HARDCORE !
Believe it or not Deaf Educator, yes it was that specific lol As I got older I further refined that dream into Special Education: Deaf Education (Many deaf individuals don't get the proper education as children due to schools not knowing or having the resources to help them. Intern they are placed in special education which may or may not have the ability to help that child. By the time they can get the proper help, they can be very far behind the learning curve of their piers. Which can greatly affect their learning and social development. By having a special educator specializing in deaf education; proper education can be provided giving them the best chance to succeed.) Irony has it that I lost my hearing in high school, became very ill to the point of multiple hospitalizations, surgeries, tests, even a feeding tube, and my schools special education program told me I was too sick. When I lost my hearing they special education administration said I didn't have enough sign language for an interpreter, which they were right, but that was ALL they could do to help. When I became bed ridden and needed a feeding tube just to take medication, let alone food; the administration proclaimed that they cannot help someone who cannot attend school so in their words "You should drop out and get your GED." A Straight A Collage Course Highschooler, to a 'Delinquent Dropout', all because of a broken system. The irony was not lost on me that I had been shunned and abandoned by the very system I wanted to save. Why did I type all this? Because, it takes someone willing to fight for what is right to fix a broken system. Whether that fight is a continent away, or in our own backyard. I'm still fighting, both to live in a functioning body ;) and to hopefully begin teaching and advocating for our future generation.
By the way thank you for the give away :) My nephew visits the hospital whenever I'm admitted. Hospitals can be very boring for a kid so this would be fun to do with him and keep him entertained....our out of trouble ;)
I have had many dream professions as a kid: musician. train conductor (or guard in British), policeman, scientist.
The one that always stuck was having a family, and that still is my dream job. Because parenting is a full-time job, or rather even 24/7.
