I am feeling old

[Kaido]

Yeah my 14yo is excited to prove to me his typing test score of something like 80wpm. A real keyboard - not the dang phone screens.

I learned to type fast because of MUD games in college. Who's with me?

pre typed macros were a godsend!

They teach typing these days

I sometimes like to take a piece of paper and scribble stuff on it with my best legible cursive writing skills. It's very calming. I might post a screenshot to show it off (I'm not properly trained in it. Developed it on my own. It's not the best but not as bad as what I see on doctors' prescriptions).

If you do, I humbly suggest you employ the form of haiku, and possibly engage our poet laureate brianmanahan in a pome-off.

It was chatting online with chicks for me. Nothing can make you learn typing faster than to try to satisfy a girl's short attention time span. Too many dicks messaging them!

Just amazing. Too bad I have to hear my boys' Razer Huntsman keyboards in the next room all the damn time. I use a $12 low-key-profile keyboard like they have on laptops.

I think we used Lynx to chat intra-campus and I also met someone, but it was a dud of an in-person meeting that night.

Bad news.... girls don't actually have "short attention-spans" except for the dumb ones... just like guys!

If she's not responding and/or clearly not really listening she's just not that into you and it's time to move along! (girls ARE often overly concerned with "not hurting guys feelings")

 

[Torn Mind]

Isn't the idea that you can write faster in cursive? What do they teach these days?

I always found cursive more comfortable than print.

Feel free to tell me from my crappy writing style what kind of crappy personality I have

Turned out to be a dude?? Overweight woman? Professor of English Literature resembling grandma???

Well, maybe YOU are the guy they don't wanna hurt. They hurt my feelings ALL the time, sometimes quite visibly and rudely!

TBF, lots of guys don't take it well when their feelings are hurt...

That's some pretty good penmanship.

"Dud", as in they didn't get on well in-person when they met.

Having salt makes some people insane. This guy in my office was telling me to add some salt to the red kidney beans salad I was eating in the kitchen, so I could "enjoy" the taste more. At that moment, I realized that his face looked bloated from water retention and he looked much older than the last time I had taken a good look at him. Salt is DEADLY in excess.

Also, some researcher did a study on kidney function. He found that mixing salt and sugar in the same meal is the worst thing you can do for your kidney function because it increases blood pressure far more than either of those taken alone.

I have no salt temptations; it only becomes a craving WITH glucose sources. In fact, I wonder if I am under-eating sodium. It's probably why all most junk food sucks for me. Super low BP is likely genetic in family.

("Keto flu" is fake to my body. Never experienced anything different in the piss sequence)

Eat 8 cans of sardines a day. Your vigor and vitality will sky rocket!

You'll be 25 again.

Don't feel too old! You're just mature like a fine wine! And, growing a lawn can be a great way to connect with nature and keep yourself active. Just make sure you have a comfy chair nearby for yelling at people to stay off it! And hey, there's no shame in yelling at clouds either. As for video games, I hear ya - classic Doom will always hold a special place in our hearts. But maybe we can introduce the younger generation to the joys of old school gaming, who knows, they might end up loving it just as much as we do!

I'm still mad about Office Space. I had to read on in your post to see it wasn't about one of the TV series (i.e. UK's or US's) but about the movie. The opening sequence of Office Space is so epic. I identify with Office Space especially because like the protagonist I did some Y2K code scrubbing with dBase software. I own two versions of the movie (had to upgrade to anamorphic!) and watch it every so often.

I chose Office Space for a paper in a 400-level Workplace Psychology Course in university. So yeah, I took both that and Psychology of Love in College. Those classes probably did leave a permanent mark in how I see workplace things and how to process "popular media" in with some serious rigor and consideration. The love course is especially impactful in processing songs in my mind.

Get into penpalling. You will get a lot of girls

I was hoping for him to provide more details on his interesting meeting.

Mistakes are fun to read about

I use to write girls pomes in calligraphy when I was in Jr. high and high school, haha.

I have no salt temptations; it only becomes a craving WITH glucose sources.

If I eat something sweet that is not starchy, I get hungrier. So then I gotta have something salty. But then to remove the salty taste from my mouth, I need something sweet. So what I do is, begin the meal with fruits. Eat the salty meal and then finish with some sort of dessert or salad (cucumbers are good). Following this sequence keeps my hunger in check.
