Throw TheLiving Silverware

Thanks a lot for the support. But I already tried moderation, and it went... more than poorly. I just can't moderate my usage, it's 6-12 hours a day or nothing for me. And honestly, I'm starting to realize that the problem is running much deeper than video games. I haven't played in what, four days now? And right after stopping, I had a big burst of energy/motivation. But now it's been two days since I actually did anything. I just found other ways to kill time. I'm blocking YT and other stuff right now, but I fear it won't be enough. I'll probably latch on another pastime before the week is over. I think what I was taking for a mostly external issue (video games) is actually more of an internal problem: I can't find motivation to do my work consistently. I do get some outbursts here and there, but it's still nowhere near as much as I need to stay afloat. I'm afraid I'm just stuck in a loop of finding something to spend all my time on to avoid doing work -> deleting access to that thing to try to work -> finding something else to spend time and still not work. I know what I should do: force myself somehow to pull myself every morning and do my ******* ****** ******* work but I just don't know how and meanwhile i feel myself falling back again i'm letting my teammates down again i still havent tried to find an internship im still terribly unprepared for the exams which are now dangerously close Anyway, that was just me rambling about the current trainwreck that is my life. Sorry about that. I might soon get suddenly very active for 2-3 days, then outright disappear. It will just mean that the Shard will have become the latest victim of the cycle described above. If it happens, don't expect to see me for some time. Good night. Or whatever time of the day it is in your timezone.

I have 5-6 permanent tabs on my phone (all school stuff), and do all the rest in private mode. On my computer, I close everything when I shut it off. TPBM listens to music all the time.

Granted, you get a pogo glue stick. As soon as you use it, it glues itself to the ground while you're trying to jump and it falls and you're stick under it. (Anyone who ruins this bad joke by invoking the tyrannical rules of grammar will be sent in the chasms.) I wish for a minute thirty-five seconds.

uuuh I guess kiss taco, marry pizza, and kill burger? Foot, foot (as in football), foot (as in football but the other one)

So long as there shall exist, by virtue of law and custom, decrees of damnation pronounced by society, artificially creating hells amid the civilization of earth, and adding the element of human fate to divine destiny; so long as the three great problems of the century—the degradation of man through pauperism, the corruption of woman through hunger, the crippling of children through lack of light—are unsolved; so long as social asphyxia is possible in any part of the world;—in other words, and with a still wider significance, so long as ignorance and poverty exist on earth, goats of the nature of this one cannot fail to be of use. Victor Hugo - Foreword to Les Chèvres Les Misérables

Brandon, please: put rapper Sibling in SA5 or we riot. 5.45984/5.5

I almost cried when reading this. Thank you.

Why not doing fictional characters next? (All, not just Brandon) I'll start: Artemis Fowl (from Artemis Fowl)

Yay Toy Story is real good! Should rewatch it someday (haven't in like 10 years) Falling but with style/10

When you have tried to make sense of the Scadrian season cycle by using Kepler's third law on Scadrial. Values taken by measuring the distances on the AU charts.

Thanks to both of you, you have no idea how much it means to me. Really. Also, I have managed to somewhat catch up on some of the work I had! Turns out when instead of not doing things while stressing about not doing them, you actually do them... well they look not as daunting as before! Next days/weeks are certainly going to be rough, but if I can keep the steam going (never been my strong suit...), I should get out of it.

warning: long and completely insane rant incoming

Proof: How could Cultivation erase memories but only for a time??? It is much more plausible that she killed Dalinar, then nurtured the growth of Lopen's arm, and gave him Dalinar's identity and planted memories in his brain. Theory: the survival Shard is the Mink.

Xenocide (second? sequel of Ender's Game)

What is that smell from your room? It smells like... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THOSE POOR CATS???!!! Eh, you should always aim for the stars.

Proof: Two of them are associated with a Shard somehow (10 is Honor and 16 Preservation). 12 is obviously paired with a Shard we haven't directly seen yet. And all Shards are Adonalsium so they're all the same thing. So their numbers are the same thing too. Additional evidence: they are all written the same way. 10, 10 and 10. (The first one in base twelve, the second one in base sixteen, the third one in base ten.) Theory: Paul McCartney died in a car accident in the 60s and was replaced by a kandra.

Hazekiller yeah, fear me Allomancers

Proof: she needs someone to understand how humans work, so she goes to us to get ideas. Theory: The three moons in the Rosharan sky are actually Scadrial, Threnody, and Tatooine.

Granted, but you lost your sense of taste. I wish for a quick time travel to 2100 or so, buy all the Cosmere books, come back to 2023.

There could be some funny names if you tend to post mostly in one category. (Like having over 50%, or even 67%, of your posts in one subforum). Some ideas :Lore Diver for the book discussion boards, or Dice Thrower for the RP boards Edit: having a crazy amount of posts (1000 or 2000) in one category could also give you the achievement.

I'm really sorry you have to feel that way, and that your family is... as little supportive as it is. But when you start repeating this all those negative thoughts, remember: you are not lasy, selfish or anything just because of a couple minutes in bed. Instead of focusing on what you don't feel you are doing right, think about what you did succeed recently: that math test you did last month, that delicious meal you cooked the other week... anything. Don't let your getting-up time define you, you are so much more than this.

Jade City (awesome book btw)

"But you could become fire." "No,I am already fire." 350/351.

*lots of hugs* Don't worry, it's perfectly valid for you to feel like this. There are days like that when you feel like everything seems wrong, that little thing that you didn't 100% perfectly landed suddenly becomes a critical flaw. Even though there are no objective reasons to cry, you just feel the need to. And that's okay. Just let it pass. It's just a bad day, you can't really do much about it. Just cry. You feel the need to cry, better let it out than bottle it up until it explodes. Cry one good time. Let the emotions out. Most importantly, remember that you are a great person. Never accept that you deserved any of this. Always keep in mind that you are awesome. And that you can get through those bad days. *more hugs*
