I've got an hour or two spare, so if anybody wants to chat about anything, even if only to vent, please go ahead. I'm all ears. Heck, i don't care if you just want to talk about TV shows, that pineapple does not belong on pizza, or life, just go ahead.

Hi bro
Im ok thanks, you?
Thank you. Somebody who finally gets it. That stuff should be a war crime or something. When people ask for Pizza, nobody should be asking for a fruit salad on top of it. There's a salad bowl for that.
@DonnerKebab similar here, we'd both get there though, just been so overwhelmed with it all recently then being pissed about here, like we can't even pm here because I'd like to talk there just feels more comfortable in private but no. Hopefully soon for both of us bro.
And you are right. i was looking forward to the support chat earlier but cancellations just, they're annoying. I mean, DM's going, the lack of mods leading to cancellations. I didn't know the Mix before all this, but it seems to have changed a lot from what it used to be from what i've seen and heard. So i get the overwhelmed feeling.
@DonnerKebab it is. I think that can be the typical older brother thing to do though lol but on a serious note there needs be like boundaries or limits if it gets you down the mocking etc it needs to stop.
Yh it has changed, used to be amazing upto a few months ago but its getting ruined. I'll be prepared for it to get cancelled everyday not just the rest of the week.
Yes, well, this older brother is particularly violent and brutal with his demeanour. He even bit a guy's ear off when he was 17. He Knocked me out cold on my 19th birthday even, when we were playing monopoly. Last time he actually punched me was about 2 years ago. I made clear i'd call the police if he did it again, he hasn't, but generally, he's not a pleasant person. And can be especially cruel with his insults. Like the kind of cruel where he'd try and bring you to your lowest for fun. Boundaries do not exist with this guy. So it's sort of beyond brotherly stuff you know.
But you are right about being prepared for it to be cancelled every session now. I mean, if a mods shortage is such an issue for them, why not look to implementing AI mods, you know. Automatically flag stuff and remove stuff. It could work.
Anyhow, how are you feeling about things. Any issues with family yourself, or hobbies or stuff you want to talk about?
Shit bro, I'm so sorry to hear what he did.
Tbh bro, I disagree with having ai mods, I guess it would be better than no chats but I'd as well as others maybe much prefer the actual people as mods.
Not much issues at home, I was meant to be home alone this evening but that didn’t end up happening, I could do with more of that I think. Hope things have been OK for you with family and all that.
Cheer's mate. It's been years since he got violent with me, but the mocking and taunting over being 23 and jobless from him is brutal every single day. I mean, it isn't even worth pointing out to him the job market anymore, he genuinely doesn't care. I mean even medical graduates trained to be doctors are without jobs. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-68849847). It's in one ear, out the other, and that i'm a loser.
But i appreciate it mate. And yeah, i know what you mean about wanting to be home alone. Just, a bit of peace and quiet to relax. The bright side for me though is that my younger brother, the one with severe autism, he's not having violent meltdowns anymore, so that's made things much better for me recently.
@DonnerKebab no problem. I've had a lot of comments about myself too, people comparing themselves to me and comparing others to me. Doubting me. You've been uni though, great achievement. Yh its common, I saw a post on Instagram unemployment rate is high. It kind of is even more scary because it makes me like its so competitive. Also though it helps im not alone.
Not too bad just like if I want to a call I feel I cant because I don't have privacy. That's good your younger brother is better now. I'm probably gonna head to bed soon but I appreciate you chatting. Can I ask what do you normally do at home as you aren't working yet? Also do you live with your parents? Not being nosey just wondering bro.
yeah, i live at home with my mum, older brother and younger brother. My dad was a deadbeat. there's a whole story for another time there, but he died like a year ago and cut us all out of his £100,000 will. I've pretty much been his 24/7 carer since i was 11, so for me, it's either watching him for most of the day on saturday and sundays, or on Monday to Friday, he goes to his special needs school between 8:30am and 4pm, and i pretty much just cook, tidy up a bit, and play a few PC games or work on model ships, and then watch him when he gets back. I put him to bed at 8pm, so then it's just me time for a few hours. I'm making a model of HMS Repulse right now. And with his violent meltdowns subsiding though (the main reason i had to play a big role as my mum couldn't handle them), i've started becoming less and less needed for my mum as she can handle him when he's not violent, so now it's more free time on my hands then ever before. So yeah, Games, and model ships i guess. It's even why i ventured out to wingfest for a few hours.
@DonnerKebab fuck I'm so so sort that all sounds extremely tough. I've heard how that can be hard because I saw a video of Paul Scholes, he was a football player for Manchester United, he spoke about stuff you mentioned similar issues to you little brother with his son. Yh glad you have free time though, for me it cam be too much free time but it's not fun because I'm constantly worried about everything and not relaxed. That all sounds interesting especially the wingfest and model ships.
I mean, i look at the US, and they have so many jobs going. My cousin went over, married an American, took an apprentice job on an oil rig, and is making today $200,000 dollars a year. With no qualifications and only having previous work experience as a bricklayer. heck, Straight out of school, there are $70,000 positions as welders or electricians in training. It's mad.
Yh bro, all sounds interesting, we'd definitely talk to tomorrow, gonna go before now. Night, sleep well bro.
I'm fine thanks. And you? Good sleep mate?
Hey eylah. Anything you want to vent about or ramble on about? I'm happy to listen to anything.
Thanks @independent_ . venting's helped me in the past so i thought it might help other's too
Same, I'm ok too thanks. I slept OK. Sorry for not replying, I forgot @DonnerKebab
Oh don't worry about that mate. It's all good.
So, if you don't mind me asking, how are you feeling with all the stuff with the Mix. Have they said anything to you, cause you seemed a little nervous, if you don't mind me saying, in the support chat?
Nice. Just the post about not tolerating swearing and I've done it a lot, I feel bad about it too @DonnerKebab hopefully I'll be fine but we'll have to see what happens. Also I don't mind bro, if anything I appreciate you acknowledging it. Also it was general not support today bro.
Yeah, i wouldn't be to concerned. You apologised, never swore at any mods or supervisors the whole time, were justifiably frustrated. It happens. They won't do anything other than remind you that swearing is generally not liked in the discussion boards. I'm almost 100% certain that's all. So, what else is on your mind mate if you don't mind me asking?
