Is that a sex doll or just a big doll?
Anyway I thought about getting a dollfie-dream bjd for a very long time, collected pictures for months of parts, wigs, clothing and whatnot but in the end I just had to come to terms with the fact it's just too expensive for me. I thought about getting a cheaper brand like Parabox but it's not the same thing. My original idea was to make a Madotsuki out of dollfie-dream parts but that involves skills I don't have like sewing.

Do you have a driver's licence? If so, how did you managed to obtain it? In Eastern Europe, it's pretty hard to get one, a long and painful journey.

It took me almost 1.5 years (including the COVID shutdowns) to get one. I also had to wageslave to be able to pay for the training, it's not cheap around here.

My motivation was that I live in a remote, hilly part of a small town, right next to a forest and there is no public transportation here. I was hold hostage up here, totally isolated. Sound good, but I was totally dependant on my parents to get into the town. I couldn't just go to the groceries, that would be a 2+ hour journey.

It's my single greatest achievement and I'm pretty proud of it. Driving is very useful skill, and one that is realistic and obtainable for NEETs, wizards. A way to make yourself more independent from your parents, others.

What are your thoughts?

I have a car, but I don't know how to drive it, I thought I would learn soon.

 No.68035

>>68029
>Do you have a driver's licence?
Yep.
>If so, how did you managed to obtain it?
My parents paid for two courses (I failed the exam after the first one). It was fairly difficult, but it's not rocket science either.
My first driving teacher was the cheapest one I could find and he was pretty shitty. Only after failing the exam I started to look for higher quality ones and that helped a lot. Who knew that not being screamed and shouted at helps with learning?
Anyway, unlike you OP, I was doing it in a big city and I think it helped me a lot; I wouldn't have an opportunity to learn in practice how to deal with huge, multi-lane roads or trams otherwise.
>In Eastern Europe, it's pretty hard to get one, a long and painful journey.
Yep, that's where I am from.
>My motivation was (…)
In my family I was the first person to learn how to drive. It helped us a lot, but at the same time my situation was an opposite to yours: my parents were depending on me to drive them around and that's really bothersome at times. Often there are situations when I'm waiting for hours for my mother because she had some shopping to do. Since she keeps promising me that she'll learn to drive herself but never actual does anything about it, it made me really resent her, from my POV she was blatantly lying and manipulating me for years. Rather than becoming more independent, I now am forced to stay closer to them, as they need my help.
>It's my single greatest achievement and I'm pretty proud of it.
Yeah, it's a good skill to have. Sometimes I regret getting it, but in the long it's a really good choice. Good for you, Anon. Have you went on any cool road trips lately?

 No.68036

>>68029
>Do you have a driver's licence?
Yes, for like 13 years or so.
>If so, how did you managed to obtain it?
I took the exam five times that year.
>In Eastern Europe, it's pretty hard to get one, a long and painful journey.
It is. All officers with whom I took the exams were arrested sometime later for bribery.
>I also had to wageslave to be able to pay for the training, it's not cheap around here.
The more you should be proud about it.
>My motivation was
I wasn't interested in driving in HS, but it is a skill that almost all employers demand. My parents offered to pay so I figured why not. Truth is I'm still shit even today, zero spatial awareness most of the time. I actually avoided to drive for a couple of years after I scratched the side mirror of the company car, never told them. Last year my mother got into car crash and had her licence suspended for six months. Then my father had his leg amputated so I was the only driver around. It was difficult.
>A way to make yourself more independent
This is what's all about. Freedom to go anywhere, anytime.
>(Pic related is not my car)
Nice. Suzukies are reliable.

I've returned to fanfiction thanks to ai.
I know it's common sense that writing things yourself is better than having "some machine doing that for you."

To make a long story short: this is a severe exception if you've unfortunately read the bigass fic I wrote a decade ago of which it serves as a prequel to..

Also I wrote another story that practically needed ai, even if sparingly, to perfectly encapsulate an effect I was aiming for.

Does anyone have any experience, knowledge etc about the "business" (subculture,"scene" etc) of fanzines, political fliers, independent pamphlet writing, religious tract etc? Im interested in the activity itself…stickers even ,or stencils. Im trying to start small by buying notebooks, taking up pen\pencil writing again, trying to learn different forms of "drawing" the words. I also try to frequent those "old man bookstores" , the well known book fairs and stand-rows zone in my city, and such things.

restart another story, I can't help myself

Janon

>Chapter 1


Still alive in his mother's womb, the young future wanderer was already showing prodigies in terms of magic.
“He will be born a prodigy under the aegis and blessing of the Gods and of God” said his mother, touching his belly.
She went to bed in her sofa bed

It is customary to give the child's first name at birth. But only the oracle can give the child's first name. His first name and his destiny will be revealed to the oracle when it touches the child.

9 months later, the young magician was born and he was already being prepared for the ritual even though he had just uttered his first cries and cries

I've created a language years ago. I picked up words from english, german, latin and indo-european root words.
Here's some phrases:

" Bheheud ser, ek heer "
(tomorrow night, I'd be there)

" Nw Þonder "
(there's is a storm)

" Nw Þonder, ek ser bheud, sekzuheud "
(there's a storm today, I'll see you tomorrow)

" Ði mann sek ði deer "
(men and animals are different)

" Deer sek mann but Þey anwdeer und Þey mann ajwmann "
(animals aren't human but are living beings)

now here some words I've created so far:

to make it lighter i will probably just drill holes along the middle of all the studs to reduce the weight. this laptop conveniently has everything for cooling on the back/top, nothing on the sides or below even has vents, so it's not affected at all. also have cablestraps which work pretty good for holding the power cord. the power cord coming from the brick is barely long enough but it works

As a wizcoded truvol crabpilled sigmacel, I decree that both coffee and tea, with any capacity of sweetness or dairy, is a worthy drink for a wizard who is thirsty.

I've heard of that combination. I think it's pretty alright. Although, my chamomile is probably a year old or even older by now.

In other news, I've decided to try herbals from Celestial Seasonings. Their Raspberry Zinger and Country Peach Passion is pretty good. Their blueberry is very strong for one mug, and is okay if it's diluted a bit in a tea pot. It also smells like blueberry pancakes, for some reason. Their Orange and Spice is pretty smooth and has a delicate flavor. It's probably one of their best next to the Raspberry Zinger.

On actual tea, I still drink black teas like Earl Grey and Lady Grey if I find it. I like Lady Grey a lot more, but Earl Grey's still a great choice. I want to get into Moroccan mint tea, but I'll need fresh mint, which means growing some, since stores around me don't sell it. That's the only thing preventing me from making Moroccan mint tea, pretty much.

Same with my mother.

I never really looked at it from the angle of a "confirmation bias". Not saying that you're necessarily wrong, but I just thought it was just a darker, realer form of drama shows for them.

Either way, can't be great for them to be watching murder/rape related "entertainment" all fucking day.
