@lolwhatno that's a special feeling. Those moments are rare, you really have to treasure them when they arrive.
From experience, I can say that mom fruit salad is pretty great. Was that your suhur?
@lolwhatno I do know what quiyam al-layl is, I'm a practicing Muslim too. In a different timezone, so my suhur was a while ago.
I took a philosophy course last quarter, I thought it was great. I hope your exam went well.
@lolwhatno All the tests were untimed and open-book lol, I guarantee that played a significant role in how much I enjoyed the class! It let me appreciate the various opinions of the philosophers without having to worry about memorizing any of it. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on Kant.
I'm sorry to hear you dislike it so much! If you'd like to rant, an internet forum is as good a place as any.
Been so busy with work lately that Iāve had very little chance to get any gaming in of late, so was looking forward to today as itās my day off. And how did I start my day? By tipping a whole mug of freshly boiled hot water all over the inside of my left wrist and palm of my hand š¤Ø.
Tried playing for an hour but blisters have started forming everywhere and just didnāt seem a good idea to continue. Not amused!
@colonelkilgore Phew, I thought you were going to say you tipped it over your PS5!
But seriously that sounds nasty and I hope you ran it under lots of cold water. If it gets bad you might need it looking at as you donāt want it getting infected.
Three or four years ago my mum had to go to A&E on Christmas Day with burns on her arm after pulling a tray of boiling hot goose fat out the oven and tipping it down her arm. Luckily no lasting signs of it now.
@colonelkilgore Ouch, and double ouch. That is a rather s**t way to start a day off off. It wouldn't have been so bad if you'd have done that on a work day as at least you'd have had a good reason to not work but no one wants a reason not to game!! Hope you heal up quick and get back to earning some plats.
This month Iāve been working 10-12 hours most days + a few hours a day on weekends. I guess this is what crunch is like and I do not recommend it - compared to my usual 6-7 hours, it was really exhausting. Luckily it looks like Iāve just about finished that particular project and can finally sleep tonight.
Also May 3rd is a national holiday here in Poland so I get a 4-day weekend, yay
@Voltan Been there and done that for many weeks at a time and it's not enjoyable in the slightest. Enjoy your long weekend. We also have a national holiday but on the 2nd so will be enjoying a bit of downtime with the family, and possibly some gaming
@kyleforrester87@Thrillho@render@LN78 was super painful for the first few hours but the missus went and got some burn plasters and it does seem to have calmed down a bit now in fairness.
I love the smell of burning wrist flesh in the morning! š
@colonelkilgore ouch that's not good
Hope it heals quickly. I'm the opposite I'm happy to go to work but they won't let me back until I get negative tests, getting fed up seeing positive all the time. Oh well just have to keep playing Yakuza 5.
@RogerRoger@MightyDemon82 cheers guysā¦ the pain really seems to have calmed down since I put these burn dressings on fair play. Iām thinking that I should be alright for work tomorrowā¦ and maybe a spot of God of War: Ascension after Iāve logged of if Iām lucky.
@LN78 Haha, well Iām sure casting blame at video games was done with tongue firmly in cheek, I do blame social media, at least partially. It seems to magnify the idiocrasy of society.
