>My father fell off a horse and got stepped on the face, had to undergo reconstructive nose surgery, I'm surprised it wasn't worse


ouch

sorry to hear that @ glad to hear he "tanked" most of the damage given how horses are capable of oneshotting humans.

smartphones have destroyed the brains for many people. Retro gaming is preferable.
>I feel like I'm save of the spirit of this decade with this
The modern gaming scene could use this. At least in the ps2 era most devs tried cared to make quality work. Now it's maximum monetization. Make a game with dozens of skin dlcs or loot boxes.

>china can make a car for $10,000
I know it's not glamorous but the used lots have $8-$13K units. I've had pretty good luck with them - they have all of the maintenance completed and it won't be a craigslist scam or anything either!

>china can make a car for $10,000
China can make a Chinese car of Chinese quality for $10,000. The price would explode if those bugpeople used real steel and incorporated basic safety features. Features that Americans had to literally die for before they became standard enough to not be considered premium features with premium price tags.

I took my driving test at 23 after just driving my dad’s car around in a parking lot and then some back roads for a week. I went to the DMV and took the test which was just 10 minutes of driving the speed limit around town in basically no traffic, she then instructed me to back into a parking space which I failed completely and I still passed the driving test. I have been terrorizing the roads ever since

US has 14.2 traffic fatalities per 100k. China has 17.4. For reference Sweden is the lowest major country with 2.1 and Zimbabwe is the highest at 41.2. So there's not really much difference between the US and China. China has actually implemented stronger standards recently too and competition in the marketplace is such that unsafe cars don't sell well.

My car's dead, I live far from work, I'm broke, repairing it's really expensive, but buying a new car is impossible.

I hate living.

>it's interesting to watch
Stop watch BBC porn then. Majority of those succubi who decide to marry foreigners choose white. And regarding migrants, the plans are for Africa and poor Asian countries. The latter ones are not that brown.

Puppet regime of Muscovite ministers and pro-Moscow president was overthrown in 2014. Right now is 2025. Or are you one of those pol schizos?

>Really nails how dissociation feels like
I don't believe you understand at all what it means to "feel disassociation". It's not something that can be observed and as such it is not something that any actor or film can portray.

>>70386
It can be identified thus it can be observed mr smartass

I never watch romance films bacause i think all are bullshit but i watched this film by accident
>Silver Linings Playbook
And i liked it, i feel it humanistic in a lot of ways.
Maybe bacause the feeling of that anyone get how you feel is in the entire film, all are assholes to protagonist and all put moralistic tags or bullshit on them. The protagonist feels lonely in a lot of ways, everyone feel distant to them in a not forced acting way.
There're some escenes that the dude and same the succubus turn full anxiety and i suffered that shit, i feel empathy for the protagonists so that maybe is a good camera and acting job.
I dont know if the book is more good.

I watched "Redux Redux" two days ago. It wasn't terrible— just kind of a turn-your-brain-off movie. You throw it on, kick back, and let it wash over you. It's about a succubus with a time machine who keeps jumping between parallel universes to track down the guy who took her daughter away, over and over.

Are e-bikes worth it?

>>70411
The primary issue with ebikes is the same as that of electric cars. The current lithium ion battery implementation makes the longevity of both incredibly poor and also demands constant maintenance. An Ebike that boasts a 50 mile range without pedal assist may is able to give you such a range (on perfectly flat ground, with no wind ahead, and if you're as light as a malnourished Chinese factory worker). However, once the battery has been fully discharged once, the the individual cells will only charge up to maybe 99.95% of that capacity the next time. Then you discharge them again, and now they reach 99.90% of the original capcity. Then you leave the battery half charged for a few cold nights and some cells begin to trickle power away. You go to charge the battery to full but some of the better cells reach their new 99.85% max before those trickled cells do, so the BMS stops charging all of the batteries with those few still short in order to not overcharge the good cells. After a few dozen trips, a bit of cold and wet weather, and the typical 18650 inconsistencies, you're now only able to drive 25 miles without pedal assist.

So you'll need to drain the battery fully, then charge it fully in a warm dry place, and not let it sit either on or off a charger for long. You'll have to chose either the batteries dying because you're riding a lot or because you're not riding enough. The replacement batteries aren't cheap and frankly it does add quite a bit your nuclear bill whenever you do charge them.

There's also the question of [i]whyi]. Why let an electric motor drive you when you can just pedal yourself? That's not only free but you also earn good exercise. If your environment or the length of your commute demands some assistance, just get a cheap 49cc motor kit and throw it on a junker hardtail mountain bike. If those are illegal where you live, kill the people who made that law so.

>>70412
This is total nonsense. Battery degradation curves are not secret. You lose some of your total capacity with time but it's almost negligible. You can charge it hundreds of times and you will still be more than 90%. 90% of 50 is 45, not 25. Plus you can pedal with your legs if you want extra range, in fact that's kind of the point, to get some exercise while not killing yourself and having some fun.

You suggest pedaling yourself which makes no sense if your complaint is that the ebikes battery range will not be enough. Which is it, the bike doesn't provide enough help or it provides too much? Whatever your reason for objecting to ebikes is, it's not the ones you are stating in your post.

>>70413
>Battery degradation curves are not secret
The fact that Chinese lie about their manufacturing quality is not a secret.
>You lose some of your total capacity with time but it's almost negligible
No it's not. The natural loss with time and the inconsistent "safe" charging of several dozen Lithium cells with the cheap BMSs present in ebikes will quickly accumulate in to a very tangible decline in capacity.
>You can charge it hundreds of times and you will still be more than 90%
No I can't.
>Plus you can pedal with your legs if you want extra range, in fact that's kind of the point, to get some exercise while not killing yourself and having some fun.
The question is "are ebikes worth it" and considering the ones that actually function start at around $900USD, the added convenience of some battery assistance doesn't outweigh the negatives present in all ebikes. Exercise could be had for way less, distance could be achieved with way less, and fun could be achieved with way less. Longevity and versatility also cost way less when buying a regular bike.
>You suggest pedaling yourself which makes no sense if your complaint is that the ebikes battery range will not be enough
People who are interested in ebikes are usually the kind of people who don't cycle at all. It's safe to assume >>70411 is looking for an analogue to a car, and not to make the exercise and fun of his current biking hobby a little less physically rewarding.
>Whatever your reason for objecting to ebikes is, it's not the ones you are stating in your post.
You're right! I also object to them because they're for fags who think they own the road, the bike lane, and the sidewalk all at once. They're a great way for dealerships and people to send lots of money outside of the country in exchange for a poorly built bike frame with shoddy batteries glued on. After the display PCB gets wet, the BMS refuses to charge the batteries, and the aluminium frake cracks, the e-bike becomes e-waste which we all have to pay for.

Hot succubi from my favorite videogames, as always. Can't really draw anything else. I use art as a means to release my excessive libido energy since I am nofapping most of the time.

You guys, I discovered today that I prefer to draw multiple basic unfinished sketches first and work on them later. I derive more satisfaction that way, it gives me a blueprint to work on later without burning out my energy. Perhaps many wiz here might benefit from this approach?

Shat out a copy of a French soldier and his dog during WWI last night. I still can't bring myself to do much else beyond copying.

>>70312
This is great, anon!

…do you ever jerk to your own stuff by the way?

>>70394
Thanks. No, but the process of drawing itself feels like that sometimes.
>>70383
Yes, same for me. If I keep drawing one thing, it gets boring and I half ass it just to get it done as soon as possible.

oh. wait. AH. So you can't see dreams when you sleep? Ah.
>or am I doomed to just go to the void every night?
Hold on. Are you trying to tell us you see "void" when you sleep? Because I pretty much used to see dreams too (when I was younger) but now I can't remeber nearly any.

I did the thing where I questioned the reality of my dream characters and they immediately turned silent and disappeared. I was sitting at a diner with a man and a talking dog and I said to them, "I wish I had writers like you two who gave me witty things to say. It's hard coming up with my own material. Wait, it's all just coming from my subconscious, isn't it?". And they just stared for a moment and then they were gone. There were some background characters in the diner but they acted like video game NPCs and had indistinct dialogue and only conversed amongst each other. The dream lost any sense of narrative after that.

As if to say fuck you, the dream booted me out and now I am wide awake at 2:00 AM. Not even my dreams want me.

Had a dream

one of the picrelated kept looking at me with her signature look - "cold, piercing, but if you get to know her you'll know its not coldness at all".

She said something "normal", small-talky to me, but I didn't rush to a notebook to write it down so now… I have to say - I don't remember.

Any notable dreams from childhood? I probably had this dream when I was around 4.

I was alone on this deserted island made out of ice/snow. It wasn't cold, and I wasn't worried. I was alone which I loved. It started raining toys, and at the time I was extremely into my matchbox and hotwheels cars, also had water guns falling from the sky. Had to have been the best dream I've ever had

I sometimes get these dreams where I'm a giant spider crawling around old victorian mansions and stalking random people there. But I always wake up before I get the jump on someone.

>What even is this place?
A Halloween store. It's empty except for the month of October, where it gets full of cute succubus outfits for little with succubi, and anime cosplay. After Halloween, all of the employees are ground in to a fine paste and shipped to the shrimp farms as chum.
