I miss a “just have a nice chatter about your daily personal life” community. What to ask?

I tell you about mine. I was at a meetup yesterday of the local CCC (chaos computer club) in vienna. it was 20 years of CCC vienna meetup. was fun, met a lot of cute people, was too shy to talk to any of them, now i’m here sitting in my room bored and wondering what to do.

    I’ve either got RSV, COVID, or a rhinovirus. I awaken drowning in my own mucus. I cough so hard my ribs hurt. And I have diarrhea so I have to clench the entire time. I’ve eaten nothing for two days and have no appetite and every joint hurts more than usual.

    I’m doing pretty well! Busy lately, but still finding time for things I enjoy.

    Chaos computer club sounds cool, what kind of topics come up there?

    Nothing wrong (AFAIK) with asking here, but I think you’d dig the !casualconversation@piefed.social community.

      just generic engineering, like tempering with wood and metalworks (welding) and also soldering for electronics and discussing the state of software, there’s a linux cafe in the same building where we offer to install linux for commoners who can’t/don’t want to do it themselves. to help them move away from micros*ft.

      I don’t have the mental or emotional capacity to answer your post right now, but this artist is awesome. Listening to their first album now. Danke schön, Gandalf der Zwölfte.

        Okay, so I listened to their first two albums while going in and out of sleep. They’re like if System of a Down rewrote the Death Note soundtrack in the style of Linkin Park. XD

    I’m holding on by a thread. I’m humiliated, anxious, and desperate for a job that can cover the bills. Lonely too.

    Got my catalytic converter stolen and they got the o2 sensors along with it. Thankfully my stepdad is a mechanic so instead of a grand for a fix it was 300. Not the best lead-in to the week of my birthday but I suppose it could be worse…

    it could just be a lot better too.

    Awesome. Great church service today. The Chinese members cooked an authentic lunch for everyone. Incredibly delicious. The temperature has finally risen above freezing so the snow is starting to melt.

    Enjoying my day off. Grilling a steak and just being in the moment. Found out yesterday that my ex got herself a new girlfriend so we probably won’t be hooking up for a while. But I can wait until she fucks this one up lol. Ay least it frees me up to focus my efforts elsewhere.

    Low function day. I am supposed to be finishing cleaning my room, but by the time I did laundry and went shopping and made lunch I ran out of energy and had to lie down, and that was the end of that plan.

    This is bad because my roommate is very unhappy about the state of my room, which is abysmal (the mice that live in my walls shit on everything and it stinks), and I would like to fix it so that he feels better about it. I tried to hire a maid service to come clean the apartment, but the one I contacted said they wouldn’t come out if we had mouse droppings, I guess because of the risk of sickness. So the plan is to get things clean enough that I can tell them the mouse droppings are cleaned up so that they can come out, but obviously I struggle to clean which is why I needed help in the first place… I wanted to get it done over the weekend but the weekend has now ended, so we’ll have to see if I can get it done tomorrow.

      honestly, my best advice is just to burn everything down with fire at this point (figuratively).

      i.e. just take a big black plastic bag and put everything that’s laying on the floor into it; close the bag and throw into trash. Don’t even bother with distinguishing different types of garbage. just throw it all away. using this crude approach, you need very little mental energy, because you don’t need to think about each manual step so much, and it’s quickly done. Then, when most garbage is gone, you can call the maid for further steps.

    In-person meet ups are great, especially for shared hobbies. A lot of things are starting to be remote only, which can also be fine, but I just prefer meeting IRL.

    Was a pretty good day. Walked to the park with my dog, made progress on a chair I’ve been building, and played some mandolin. Mowed the lawn too, I have one of those non-electric reel mowers so it’s a decent workout.

    Great. I nailed my workouts this week despite their intensity I didn’t get very tired afterwards, which tells me my base fitness is way higher than I thought and all the hard work I put in over this winter really paid off. I still need to lose 10lbs though, which is annoying and feels like it is holding me back a bit because that is 5% of my body mass meaning I could be 5% faster/stronger once it’s gone.

    I was also going to ask out a couple of ladies on a dating app that seemed cool but they jumped the gun and kind of went nuts on me, so glad that happened rather than on a date in person. I am so sick of attracted unhinged weirdo women who think I owe them expensive dates.

      healthy relationships can only exist in a sane environment.
