It took me just a short while to shake off the confusion after having clicked my way through the portal. This place felt all too familiar. That elevator music, the shameless small-talk, dreary dispositions deduce the drudgery of day-to-day existence. I knew it then that I was in Hell, or if not yet there then surely I was in the waiting room for it.

Speaking of which, I know I've heard this music somewhere before, but I don't know where. Was it from a DS game? Maybe Nintendogs (yes, I will admit I actually played through nintendogs)?

So. I guess I'm dating a lesbian now. She's been an open lesbian for years now, and I knew that immediately when I met her. We hit it off pretty much immediately as good friends, though I wished we could be more than that. She's at least as intelligent as I am, and for the first time in at least half a decade I'm forced to consider new perspectives and analyze new data. She's proven to be far beyond her years mentally, socially, sexually, and spiritually, so I've come to respect her as every bit my equal.

Not long ago, she made it clear that she was interested in pursuing a relationship with me, which threw me for a loop since I had been under the impression that a lesbian had no sexual interest in men whatsoever. To this day she still identifies herself as a lesbian but calls me the lone 'exception'.

If I were on /eh/ reading this post, I'd have to think that the girl was just an underdeveloped little girl who's confused about her sexuality, so I understand the people who will come out with that opinion, but sitting here, watching this unfold firsthand, I know she's better than that, which makes her interest in me all the more perplexing. By no means am I looking a gift horse in the mouth, I take this as a good thing every day, but I'm still... a bit confused by the whole thing.

I don't really have a question, but I thought this would probably be the best place to have this conversation, if it's even worth talking about.

/eh/

What a lovely read John. I'm one of those people who wouldn't be so experienced in these matters, so to speak, so maybe I'd be crossing the line in giving you some advice... but I feel that you should just be watching out for your relationship.
It's early days, so nothing seriously adverse will happen any time soon, but with both of you getting "relaxed" around each other there's a chance that it might get to the point where you take each other for granted. Again, this will be a lot further down the line, so I think you shouldn't fret about this (especially as not worrying is making both of you so comfortable around each other). I guess what I just said was "keep the romance in your relationship"...

That is sage advice, and I plan on keeping it. Though it doesn't come up in casual conversation much (obviously) I have more than a faint romantic streak and I'm naturally adverse to routine. I'll do at least my part in keeping things interesting. We'll see where the future heads.

Well, just a couple hours after making this post something unusual happened. I got a text from girl saying she was bored and that she wanted to play a game. I said alright, let's play. She said that I could ask her any question I wanted and that she would answer as completely and honestly as possible. We're pretty open with each other regardless, so I took this as an invitation to ask the really atypical, intimate questions. Yet again, it was made clear to me that she very much enjoys my presence and the way I've been treating her. We talked about some emotions and her past, neither of which would be appropriate to recount here, suffice to say that it was a definite positive bonding experience.

I asked her point blank how sex would go. Below is a near verbatim transcript of that segment of the conversation:

Me: You touched on it earlier, but how WOULD sex between us work? The reality is that I do have a penis and I do intend to use it. Or is that an unfair question right now?

Her: I have no idea. Penetration could be an option, but I can't guarantee anything.

Me: That's fair. We'll see where we are when we get there. I won't lie and say I'd be fine with zero penetration, but we're nowhere near that and I don't think it's what we should be focused on right now. I was just curious :)

Her: I agree, it wouldn't be fair to you, but yeah, I understand :)

Me: I mean, I don't want to do anything that you wouldn't like, and I would hate it if you were to lie about it for my sake. I don't want to "consensually rape" you, if that makes sense.

I am jealous of the simple world in which you live John, to be able to believe that the world can end in only one of two ways, quite the gift.

I am unfortunately to distracted by all the unknowns to live such a simple life.

>What makes you so certain, John?

For one, the world - wether you mean the earth or the universe - has existed for several billions of years and there is little to indicate that won't continue to do so for another multitute of billions of years.

Mankind, however, is fragile by comparison. Even if we don't blow ourselves up, the race of Homo Sapiens Sapiens will eventually die out, just as 99% of all other species that have ever lived died out.

But unless we clean up our act, we won't even make it that long. Because let's face it: we're not doing very well for ourselves. Admittedly, we have made titanic progress in terms of technological development. But most of that technology is put towards fighting among ourselves. I remember an old Star Trek episode where an alien lifeform was fascinated by humans being one of the only species of predators to hunt among themselves.

My point being: we can feed everyone on the planet, we can put our efforts towards curing diseases, we can build space exploration crafts... but we don't. Instead we fight. Such is our nature. And I'm afraid that will ultimately be humanity's demise.

Not everything is lost yet, i discovered a lot of things in my research in the last 10 years of my life thanks to some circumstances and...

I don't know how to build a new world, but i know how to destroy this primate egomaniac society without turning this planet into a radioactive wasteland, however; the necessary sacrifices to such event aren't few.

Lovely day. I'm currently watching on the second screen "the autumn trip of 2012 of the Finnish Museum Railroad Association", where they drive on a restored DMU from Tampere to Rauma trough Kokemäki. It's all very fascinating: the camera is in the drivers cabin and there are a few FMRR activists and an old locomotive operator chattering idly for most of the time.

Ex.:
"Here used to be a whistle stop, named lambleg, I believe."
"A lableg, that's quite unusual."
"I have heard the story of it but by damn can't remember."
"U-huh."

"For the both legs, mate." (Phrase related to taking schnaps.)

Do you tend to do more or less work when you're in an /eh/ mood? I feel I'm more industrious when I am; when I'm excited I burn out my motivation quickly.

While I can probably go on for a longer period of time, I'm not industrious when I feel /eh/. When I have motivation, I can do work with ease. But that motivation usually turns to an /eh/ feeling and I suffer from the aforementioned lack of industriousness.

I work as a programmer and yesterday i took a closer look to the commit history. The interesting thing is that you can clearly see whether i was in a /eh/ mood or not at the time of writing just by looking at the code.
When i'm rather motivated, the code is quite creative with bits of cleverness/trickiness here and there (not the kind of obfuscated/overly dense code nobody but me could read, but rather creative solutions form an unexpected angle). Whereas my /eh/ code looks like "ah fuck it, just copy paste it from stackoverlow and smash in hardcoded variables and all kinds of stuff to make it work quickly".

I am most eh when I am procrastinating, and when I am doing work I am working hard to get it done, usually. I very rarely find myself spontaneously motivated, but perhaps that is a result of the constant stream of motivation it takes to get through modern school life so I don't get motivational peaks, so to speak.

Can you tell me if you can read this image? I feel as though the text may be too small, but I still wanted it to be an undertone, and very eh joke.

You know John, your underage is showing.

I do my homework when I remember, I feel like I have a pretty comfortable frequency where I do and do not remember though, which is a good thing. Because if I always remembered I would feel pressured to do it, but by forgetting I do not even have to feel bad about not doing it.
Does this count as double-think? Or some other mental deception method from 1984?

I haven't had a single mildly interesting day in months now, closing in on a year. I'm not sad about this, I'm actually rather content. I have become fond of the hum-drum drudgery of each day every day. Some might call this a rut, but I find the stability and certainty of what's to come calming. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to do something crazy and absurd, but then remember how anxious I could be when I did anything similar to that.
When was the last time you had a mildly interesting day?

John Smith 13/04/19(Fri)23:54 No. 40171

Most of my days are excessively interesting, which is why I come to /eh/.

However, instead of doing anything special for Christmas last year, I took a week long holiday to a summer vacation spot.
My hotel room was very reasonably priced ($200 for the whole week) because it was off season. Weren't many people around. There was one bar still open, which catered mostly to locals, and I had some nicely eh evenings there, drinking light beer and smoking while people I didn't know talked about things I didn't care about.

It was nice.
