[01:37:26] Me with no critical thinking skills being told to think harder: [01:37:29] Literally 1984. [01:57:15] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1536191668963770388/image0.gif?ex=6a7a817a&is=6a792ffa&hm=5e5bee21e13375645aa33419e1c1e55a47d360b8194f1af991214fef0e8b46ab& [01:57:23] Wild book, wild movie [01:59:33] @notaracham: which version of the movie is better? [02:00:39] reviews seem to suggest 1984 version of 1984 film is better, but I don't know, I feel like the 1956 version might be better. Wondering which one I should start with [02:13:30] I just find it very fun that they released movie 1984 in calendar 1984 [02:13:42] I cannot speak on which is better [02:14:19] Been too long for me to make an earnest assessment [02:21:22] Its pretty awesome in my opinion. I liked it. [02:22:03] I call "AI generated imagery" to be more geekier. [02:35:05] valid! i mean, this guy even has a different spelling of his name with different capitalization? [02:35:15] ngl didn't know there were two [08:23:08] no cap name ftw [09:02:31] How do I spell your name? [09:02:39] Lowbrok? [09:02:42] Loobrok? [09:02:50] 🥹 [09:05:12] It's already spelt? [09:05:26] That's the advantage of written communication. [09:06:35] Unless you mean how do you get the ð letter? [09:08:20] omg I'm famous [09:09:44] lol, that is funny [09:10:00] how do i speak raidarr's name [09:10:10] the first part i'm pretty sure it's german(?) [09:10:44] I spell it in clipboard [09:11:04] Yes. [09:11:06] first bit is german [09:11:15] the whole thing combined is borderline gibberish [09:11:21] No no. I know Schrodinger. The cat in a box meme. [09:11:22] linguistically [09:11:25] But not Loobrok. [09:11:30] Is like, Loo in Waterloo. [09:11:32] With Brok. [09:11:35] So like. Loobox. [09:11:37] Right? [09:11:37] is it loa or loo... [09:11:48] Loobox. Brok spelt as Box. [09:11:50] Loo as Loo. [09:11:51] I've always known it literally by its spelling [09:12:05] So LoobroK or LooBOX? [09:12:17] Like, do you say Brok. [09:12:20] Or Box? [09:12:48] ngl the easiest way is to ignore it and accept it personally [09:12:50] Loobrok is uh. Loo-b-rok. [09:12:52] Right? [09:13:01] really this is a question for @.labster, he conceived that one [09:13:06] I don't want to accidentally misspell somebody's name. [09:13:13] I'm just ay cool [09:13:17] It happened before and it brought many shame to me. [09:13:29] Gotcha. That's awesome. [09:13:30] my name is mangled so much in the real world I cannot take the subject seriously [09:13:35] i'd just call him raidarr as i have always been done [09:13:50] Sounds like you have a non-english name. [09:13:55] Don't worry, so do I. [09:14:01] I don't think its overly complicated [09:14:02] People butcher my name a lot. [09:14:04] but apparently it is [09:14:09] i have an non english name as an vietnamese [09:14:09] I don't hate it. [09:14:22] The Vietnamese population is increasing. [09:14:28] but its also one of those that changes by spelling, how you put it and so on [09:14:30] Just how many of us are there in Miraheze discord? [09:14:42] oh you tell me, they call me pretty insane stuff somtimes [09:14:43] Actually. Don't answer that. [09:14:49] for privacy reasons we will probably never know [09:14:54] i know of another vietnamese who is also an translator on meta [09:15:04] Wowza. [09:15:20] miraheze pulls people out of the woodwork from the strangest places sometimes [09:15:24] I say endearingly [09:15:29] I agree. [09:15:34] I came from a pretty weird place. [09:15:51] By weird I mean I wanted to make a wiki but not really. I actually only saved my cooking recipes on said wiki. [09:15:57] i came to miraheze from the skywiki incident if i remember right [09:16:05] So technically its not a wiki but my personal cooking recipe storage. [09:16:11] 😵‍💫 [09:16:17] probably, that's when you branched out of skywiki awareness in general [09:16:36] at least you used it, I came to make a wiki I dropped in like 5 minutes after it was made [09:16:56] and then I made a string of wikis that I also dropped, I have a horrible wiki foundership record [09:17:18] [1/2] pretty funny how my story of being here is like [09:17:18] [2/2] "yeah i joined skywiki and helped then, then i found out the leader of it sucks ass so i brought people to take em down and then joined wo and mh later" [09:17:34] if i ever get my own section at miraheze monthly it's going to be hell of a story [09:17:38] and from the requests you could hardly tell I would do little better than the people we twist arms of because they have a vague request [09:18:20] so on the principle subject matter of miraheze I'm a washout [09:18:24] but people made me steward anyway [09:18:26] yeah i also have bad records of dedicating myself to something as wel [09:18:53] also not the most attentive to the areas I do have notable local access [09:18:55] raidarr is raidarr, so i have no complaints of that [09:19:39] Damn. [09:20:03] I mean. If we talk about the track record. I got way too many deleted (I requested the deletion). [09:20:08] So mine is probably worse. [09:23:02] Damn. This sounds awesome. [09:23:08] You should write a biography. [09:23:25] >I have no idea. I'm just a very supportive person. [09:23:47] maybe, i've done quite a few things i can be proud of sometimes [09:24:38] My proudest achievement is that I drank expired milk and my stomach didn't hurt. [09:24:41] 😎 [09:25:06] Well. It expired by 1 hour (it was 1 AM). [09:25:06] not really something to be proud of [09:25:32] and seriously...why did you wait for the milk to expired [09:25:40] well at least it was 1 hour, could've gotten worse [09:26:12] [1/2] 1: Hungover. [09:26:12] [2/2] 2: MIDNIGHT SNACK. [09:26:36] Listen. I just got home from work at 12 AM. I was drunk as heck. [09:26:43] Food spoilage isn't an immediate binary, so it likely wouldn't have been very spoilt if spoilt at all. Those dates usually err on the side of caution. [09:26:45] So in my wise arse. I drank expired milk in the fridge. [09:26:59] Anyhow, I LIVED! [09:27:21] pretty sure medication is like that too [09:27:21] On other news... I should eat that tin of crackers I have on the shelf. [09:27:24] Pretty sure its uh, [09:27:27] 20 years old. [09:27:30] But its in a can. [09:27:31] 💀 [09:27:35] So its impossible for it to be damaged. [09:27:44] It's canned crackers. [09:27:47] Crackers in a can. [09:27:53] that can of crackers [09:27:55] is older then me. [09:27:59] i'm almost 18 y/o. [09:28:18] How in the crapper do you have more lore than me. Whose older than you. [09:28:22] 🥹 [09:28:36] I guess I haven't got my character development arc yet. [09:28:46] Keyword: YET. [09:28:58] if you do nothing, then you'll never get any lore [09:29:37] True... [09:29:41] Nothing ever happens. [09:29:45] For me. At least. [09:29:50] I just work here. [09:30:05] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1536305629793230858/FB_IMG_1783047979726.jpg?ex=6a7aeb9d&is=6a799a1d&hm=ee7cc48f2fbbc6b5ac501eb323b25b19ca2ca68e82b733fd2460e4e8725f251a& [09:33:08] time to make UBI a thing so that we can spend our free time editing wikis [09:34:13] Would UBI allow me to feed my crippling addiction to overly expensive electronics? [09:34:24] no [09:34:53] but at least you'll have food, water, and shelter covered [09:35:02] what is an ubi [09:47:10] <.labster, replying to raidarr> It's just a pun on [[w:Ragnar Lodbrok]] of course. The ð is pronounced as in Norse. [09:47:10] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar_Lodbrok [09:47:11]

[09:49:12] <.labster, replying to justanotherdarkmodeuser> Universal Basic Income. (mostly theoretical) government program that gives a welfare payment to everyone to get a minimum level of living. [09:49:15] But I already own my own place. [09:49:24] And I can afford food and pay my bills. [09:49:35] I just can't afford my crippling addiction to expensive stuff. [09:50:26] you'll still need a job for that then 😅 [09:50:34] Also known as communism [09:52:31] <.labster> Expensive things are just a shortcut to happiness that can never bring true fulfillment, that's why it's an addiction. Donate to Miraheze instead for true happiness. [09:53:31] ah yes the classic miraheze plug from one of the board members... [09:53:38] I'd rather be crying in a Lamborghini than a mini cooper [09:53:41] i have $400 to spend just to get estradiol in me [09:53:44] 😭 [09:56:21] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1536312238351192094/FB_IMG_1744424186623.jpg?ex=6a7af1c4&is=6a79a044&hm=2d24fcb8f1d1e866555c1870a8176a633b29b8c90ff1beffb2983325f1c66c77& [09:56:34] haha [09:56:44] I don't know man. I kinda need them to make money. [09:57:30] [1/3] My friend: "You work so much. You must have a lot of money." [09:57:31] [2/3] Said money: [09:57:31] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1536312524868296734/Screenshot_2026-08-10-16-57-05-54_3aea4af51f236e4932235fdada7d1643.jpg?ex=6a7af209&is=6a79a089&hm=60c646441c1b0f9af567158285baa1683622221a01a21645e5412d553fe957b7& [09:57:41] You need to spend money to MAKE money. CJ!!! [09:59:00] [1/2] @elitericefarmer meanwhile, in my country... [09:59:00] [2/2] https://www.reddit.com/r/lebanon/comments/1vjthp8/we_need_to_protest/ [10:00:16] government members raised their salaries from $3k/month to $5k/month with the stroke of a pen, while most workers here make $500-700 per month or less, with prices nearly equivalent to us prices [10:01:37] so, zimbabwe salaries with dubai prices basically [10:02:04] <.labster> How do people have housing? Apartments are like $1500/month, so even 1/3 of that is the entire income. [10:02:27] me, personally? living with my parents [10:02:45] it's not like we have this culture where we move out of our parents' house at 18 [10:03:10] Vietnam is relatively accessible... [10:03:14] I used relatively. [10:03:24] Cause things have been going into the bad side of thing. [10:03:35] they paid off 2 houses [10:04:07] I bought my own house by working my arse off so I suppose housing is still relatively accessible. [10:04:23] Recently things have been taking the turn for worse. But our government is trying to unfuck the situation. [10:04:37] if i had to rent an apartment, it's not great, but nowhere near as bad as usa [10:04:44] Pretty much. [10:04:48] $100-300 per month [10:04:55] Vietnam is also not having it as far as the United States. [10:05:17] vietnam is generally better then the us for most things [10:05:21] Around uh, 200-400 dollars if I do the conversion. [10:05:27] A fellow realist. [10:05:37] Sorry. I have uh. Bad taste of fellow Vietnamese on the internet. [10:05:40] If you know, you know. [10:05:56] I have us citizenship too, but i'd never move there permanently [10:05:57] Glad to see you're someone competent enough to know to think critically. [10:06:02] not under the current conditions at least [10:06:34] my country has amazing food, culture, and scenery [10:06:44] but our economy and politics are incredibly corrupt [10:06:59] yeah, it's important that you don't lump the minority to the majority [10:07:03] Ehhh. That sounds like MOSTA COUNTRIES. [10:07:21] true, but ours are like on a whole other level [10:07:35] True true. I'm just very jaded. Besides i don't interact with other Vietnamese much. Especially on discord. [10:07:43] I do irl (I live here. After all). [10:07:50] Just not on the internet. [10:07:53] several years ago was the beginning of the liquidity crisis [10:08:05] which is among, if not the worst financial crises in modern history [10:08:40] well i hope you guys don't live in the hell called the us, sure they get most of the benefits from the companies but the gov is quite bad [10:08:41] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanese_liquidity_crisis [10:08:51] considering ||school shootings|| are still a thing [10:08:58] and the job market there sucks [10:09:08] that's everywhere tbh [10:09:30] pretty sure in vietnam it's better, my older brother already got an job offer even tho he's still in uni [10:09:56] maybe, idk [10:09:57] something called an internship [10:10:03] that they want to hire him full time [10:10:03] but globally, on average, it's bad right now [10:10:15] esp for tech yeah [10:10:34] god I'm unlucky 😅 [10:10:36]
