Ok then, I'll give another question:
13 hour quiet non-stop busride, or a 3 hour flight with this woman

if you travel through the tropics /3rd world/ etc sometimes the bus is the most deluxe of setups: people, potato sacks, chickens, goats, etc., all crammed into one sweaty tinbox. the low rent version is the same cargo but hanging from the back of a pickup truck on the potato sacks. and if you’re up high you freeze instead. i always had a blast.

usa i used to do dc to new york a lot by bus. did also dc to pittsburgh in... 12! hahaha. it was cool and entertaining. and my first time in paris i got so disoriented i paid for a tour bus just to get a general idea. it wasn’t too annoying and i got a nice view.

i figured a couple of hours in an autobahn wouldn’t any kind of be torture, but ymmv...


i read somewhere there were new fast routes developed in recent times. i’d rather do bus than nothing at all...

Ummm......NO THANKS!!!


Well played !@#$%! juvenile!


Swimming carnival sounds unique......is it a day of loafing fun or more competitive team based activities?

:p ha!

Just google “bus plunge” for another good reason not to travel by bus in poorer countries

yes, this is why the third world is completely depopulated :D

that looks fucking nuts though

Welp, started a huge stack of shit on a Discord server that led to me leaving. Time to find new social haunts

How bad can it be really?

Publicly calling the admin a liar, with screenshot evidence? As well as calling her moderator boyfriend a dickhead? And I was one of the leading people there, too.

Hey Moshe, you're a liar

Hey Stu666 you're a dickhead.

Don't sweat it. It's just handbags at dawn. Besides it's an internet forum and forums aren't srious bzns.

And if you get banned then just sign up under a new name. That's what everyone else does.

Yeah, true. I have no plans to come back though, at least not for a long time.

The story:
*35-something admin starts a relationship with early-20s mod
*I like and trust the admin, but hate the mod
*Part of it's jealousy, part of it's worry the admin will get hurt (she'd divorced within a year of starting this, and she rushed into it)
*she tells me that she'd broken up with the mod, and asked me not to talk to other people
*basically nothing changes, the server's still full of lovey stuff and the mod being a cunt
*I decide that I've had enough, and allude to being lied to
*mod DMs me to ask what's up, I show him, he says he had no idea and that they hadn't broken up
*I get mad, post the liar/dickhead comment in public (with a screenshot), and immediately leave
*shit starts, including the mod deleting the post and calling me 'unstable' when they're discussing it (he later tried to clarify)

But yeah. Shame, that was where I developed so much as a person. But I don't want to be under the thumb of someone I trusted, but who lied to me. Nor a dickhead like him.

(I met my ex-girlfriend there...)

It's fun wandering around school and seeing all the social groups you're not a part of. But, then again, I don't really want to be part of their groups?

that there is a good soap opera idea and worth developing. don’t be sad.

Had an assembly at school today for all the Year 12s - talking about how we need to be leaders of the school, how important the boat race is, how we're now banned from the common room because some people fucked it up...

I can't help but thinking it'll be so much better when I'm out of this mess. But, at the same time, maybe I'm overhyping the future? Maybe wherever I go to next is going to be largely the same as this, just with the added disappointment of raised expectations?

Is the boat race meant literally, or as metaphor? You can't be all leaders, leaders need people to lead. Why should you need to lead the school, isn't that what the management should be doing? Or is management going on a 6 month sabbatical boat cruise, and they told you all to go manage yourself while they're away. Oh boy :D


Anyway, very important news from my side:
My new coat has the exaxt same colour as my couch. I hope I don't mix them up.

It's a very literal boat race. All of the local schools have a rowing team, and they compete on the local lake once a year. Our school is very proud of it, even though all the rowers are objectively dickheads.

Hopefully your coat is nice.

I cut my hand trying to jump a fence, am I punk rock now?
