Discord will be like "Hey look at this cool simple thing that lets you customize your profile. By the way, you have to pay money for it."

you guys know that tiktok audio about homosexual audacity and thinking you can do anything with no prior experience? "no i've never done that but i'm gay so how hard could it be?" that's me right now having almost no knowledge of computers but wanting to build by own pc
#like i know enough to know what i want. but what makes a computer actually run??? no fucking clue#BUT. i bought a gaming laptop like two years ago and it's already crapped out on me. and it's at a repair shop right now but because#it doesn't have standard parts (it's an acer nitro 5 17-inch) it's gonna cost like $750 to replace the motherboard and get it working again#and i bought the thing for $1500. so what the fuck#plus i've been thinking lately that i want to upgrade to an actual pc because i'm not in school anymore and don't currently need a laptop#and when i DID buy my laptop a couple years ago i didn't do enough research about what specs i wanted and i can't actually run#a lot of the games i want to play. so if i do decide to get it fixed i'd also want more storage and GPU. so it would be even more expensive#SO. i'm like. i can either pay like $1000 to fix my laptop which might crap out again in another year or two and need more uncommon parts#replaced. or i can buy a prebuilt pc which would be like $1800 if i'm getting everything i want.#OR i can build my own pc. and still get everything i want BUT in the process i will also learn how to build a computer (and thus how to#fix any problems that arise) and i can make sure to use common parts that can be replaced if they need to be. right?????#idk i kinda think it might be fun. and i've been wanting to learn the basics of computers for a long time because it seems like very useful#skills to have in life. and people say that this is a good way to learn and that it's not THAT hard to do because there's so many resources#and guides online to help you figure out how to do it.#like am i crazy for wanting to do this????#mine

okay I don't have nitro but I have a Feb 2016 discord and my username is already gone which... sucks
the account I made in Jun 2016 hasn't had the chance to change yet, while some much newer ones have
i've seen people on reddit who are 2015-ers, and have had nitro since it became a thing who but haven't had the change yet, or who lost their #0001 to a newer non-nitro account, and someone saying they lost theirs to a 2021 account that got nitro 4 days ago
there are people who got nitro - literally started paying money - so they could pick their discriminator ffs (the #0000 bit) and now that's gone
it was super cool that you could make an account and get a version of the name you wanted. but now it's like... fuckin abysmal. i've had my account for 7 years. maybe the newbies to the platform aren't that fussed because they come from twitter but the discord update is BAD. this 'easier to remember' line shit is utter bullshit (you'd just copy and paste your name if you weren't adding someone you were already in a server with lol but yeah i know both my discriminators 4 digits aren't that hard how do these people cope with phone numbers, PIN codes, and fuckin post codes or zip codes?)
if i had nitro, i'd cancel it. discord is now too big to actually give a shit about their users, but they will care about money
but i don't have nitro so i'm just like... uuuugh i hope enough people who do pay decide to cancel so the bastards really feel it

Long-Distance date/bonding ideas I've learned while making it work with my femme
Streamed Movie Night: Discord has a function that let's you stream video and gaming alike! I'd recommend Nitro because otherwise stream quality is gonna SUCK (and you need to do some weird fiddling to get services like Netflix to work) but you can enjoy movie night with your boo
Tabletop Simulator: If you both have about $20, and a computer with even a low budget graphics processor, this program is invaluable. The base games are neat but the real trove is in the Steam Workshop. Mod makers upload hundreds of boardgames from Catan to Azul to outright heavy ones like D&D and Warhammer. My femme and I now have a weekly boardgame night (she actively challenges me at strategy games and it makes me so happy to have a partner that does 🥰)
Coffee shop dates: Go to a place where the shop has wifi (or you have a really good data plan with your phone), pop your headphones in, and just video call. I promise you, there will be more people there who find it sweet than those who find it weird.
Spotify Jam Sessions: I don't know about other music apps, but we both have spotify and it now has a function that let's you invite others to a shared listening session. Music is really important to both my femme and myself, and the ability for us to literally listen at the same time and talk about the music is truly quite lovely.
Parallel crafting time: Admittedly, I'm Neurodivergent as hell, and parallel play baseline is big for me. But pop on a videocall and make some crafts together. Bonus points if you get similar materials and share what you've made together
Call every night: no seriously, even if you both are busy the entire day and can't talk, call for at least a half hour or so to round your day off. That lack of certain forms of intimacy means you need to be really on top of other forms. On top of affirming love for one another. If you're trying to make long distance work long term, calling to just. Be with eachother is so important.
Schedule Time: As an extension of the above, just because you're calling every day, doesn't mean ensuring you have dedicated time for eachother isn't important. I'm talking like. An afternoon/evening once a week type thing. Be together for a long period of time while you can't be physically together.
Technology has honestly made what I always thought impossible for myself feel possible. The advent of videocalling my femme every day helps so much of the potential pitfalls that could have happened, and the best part is its more or less free (I pay for discord nitro but I digress). Don't get me wrong I'm having my hard days still. The inability to hold her when I want to take care of her is particularly bad. I show care and love through things like physical touch and food so much. But getting creative, and being consistent have really made this feel possible and sustainable until we get to the "next stages" bridge.
If you have ideas you found fun/helpful please toss em in the replies, tags, etc. Always open to more date ideas with my girl 💕

Hey, So I'm Still in Between Jobs and Struggling.
But I might have a temporary solution while I continue my job hunt. I have repurposed my Ko-Fi to be a tip jar for my emoji servers and such as well as a place for commissioning servers from me. This can either be an emoji server or a fandom server. To clarify: all money will be going towards necessities like food, HRT, medical bills, paying off debts, etc. as well as Nitro as needed.
Emoji Server Commissions ($10):
• I'll make a server of my usual format
• Add emojis of the theme of your choosing. Depending on the theme, it might take some digging
• Add Tupperbox and PluralKit
• This can be either a private server for you and a select few or public and added to my list in Emoji Finder
• Can take me anywhere between 3-5 hours depending on how hard it is to find stuff for your theme
• If it's a private server, I'll leave and give you ownership when all is said and done
• Emoji Creators seeking someone to make a server or more for them only have to pay $8 plus an additional $6 per additional server. If the process for the initial server exceeds 5 hours of work, I will request you move up to fandom server prices. For you that would be $12 + $10 per added server. I would prefer to make at least $1.50/hour if not $2. This just keeps it fair for me. DM for further info.
Fandom Server Commissions ($15):
• I have a standard format I usually go for and will have that set up initially before inviting you in and you can say what you want added or removed. Nothing there is set in stone. And if I don't know the fandom I'll need help naming things anyhow.
• I'll add an optional list of bots, including: Dyno, Carl, Disboard & Disboard Bump Reminder, and Starboard on top of PluralKit and Tupperbox.
• I'll program all the roles for you
• I'll set the permissions for every part of the server
• I'll go out and find emojis for it too if you'd like
• This process has taken me around 8-10 hours before, so unless it's a really simple server, don't expect it done in one sitting
• When I'm done, I'll transfer ownership to you and dip. Only thing I ask is that you don't touch where I put a note that I made the server as a commission for you.
• Also, obviously, you'll need to hire your own modding staff
If any of that sounds good to you, click here to go to my Ko-Fi!

This week I've seen a lot of "hey, I hate all of these new updates to Discord, but all of my communities are on there so I'm stuck having to deal with these"
This is why I don't like using Discord as the only way to build individual communities. This is why I set up that new forum for Nerd & Tie even though we already have a Discord (which works great on mobile by the way).
I genuinely wish people would go back to building independent community platforms. It's not super hard -- yeah, you can't easily do voice like Discord. That's what Discord is great for.
But that's not what most people use Discord for.
Most people use it for the text channels -- and guys, Discord is literally worse at this than forums from 2002. Think about how long it was until threads got introduced. And they don't even work well. And modern forum software (like Flarum, which I love) works well on mobile.
And yeah, it takes more technical skill to build these. And the free ones aren't great on mobile. But if you're paying for Nitro, maybe ask yourself whether you might be better off paying a small fee for monthly hosting and putting together something better. Get your friends together and learn how to do this stuff. Because if you don't, you're just going to be held captive by whatever centralized corporation you decide to put your energy into instead.
(And if you are a fan of my stuff -- join the new forums?)

ok since i'm all done with college. here are "some" alpha kid college hcs
DIRK (Computer Science):
either did everything a month before during an insomnia episode when the syllabus got released or the night before it's due. he had a habit of pre-doing the coding projects and only when he learned the professor wanted them to be done a certain way he'd go back in and edit them (sometimes. sometimes he'd just turn it in stone-faced and still get good grades).
type of student to show up and turn in his work via canvas but then skip class regularly. the main thing that tanked his gpa was a lack of attendance because he'd go through several insomnia episodes and then pass out for three days straight.
has dropped class out of impulse before and because of that took multiple winter and summer classes.
well also his overall gpa was horrible freshman year because he hated gen ed classes. the only class he liked was an ethics class that counted towards a social studies credit. he did not shut up in that class because he'd go on tangents and just keep going.
otherwise he doesn't participate in classes. his classmates know him solely by his projects. when they make a class discord a classmate will post about a coding issue, dirk will ask for the raw code, come back half and hour later with corrections that ALWAYS worked, then never spoke again. repeat cycle. they're too scared to dm him.
sometimes hal would use dirk's nitro that d is paying for to super react to classmates' messages but that's about it
JAKE (Biology major who got on his knees and begged for a Film minor)
he doesn't have aesthetic notes but otherwise he is the picture perfect example of studytok. he spends a lot of his time studying/researching/etc, and almost never pulls an all-nighter because he loves his sleep so much. goes to bed at 11 wakes up at 7 on the dot.
has only had two late homeworks his entire college career and both times he thought he was going to pass out from anxiety emailing his professors explaining he had gotten sick and was unable to finish it on time.
generally very quiet in class but will speak when called on. he typically sends his discussion responses to jaye/jane first to look over to make sure they make sense. he hasn't told his professors this but he gets really good grades because of that and goes "aw shucks" whenever a classmate compliments them.
his participation grade is usually B-range because he won't go out of his way to talk because of anxiety. he tends to get in detailed discussions with classmates via email or discord, especially the film classes that he's taking. his film advisor is still confused why he didn't just pick it as a major because it's something he's incredibly passionate about.
lives at the school library because of his major, uses the school computers most of the time just for convenience sake. when asked he says it's because his laptop offers "too many distractions".
JAYE/JANE (English with a Creative Writing minor):
"Why English. She would be a business majo-" SHUT UP!!! I KNOW MORE THAN YOU. He knows that he has a job at Crocker Corp if he chooses to take it and his freshman year he was undeclared and was looking at the business classes for the major and thought he was going to die and all the other business majors he kept meeting hated him. After his breakdown his dad patted him on the back and told him that he could choose a major that made him happy, that he can always go back and get a business degree later on. So he picked english and accidentally fell down the creative writing pathway.
He writes a lot of detective noir and stories that explore the duality of the gilded age vs great depression and exploring capitalism as a way to cope with growing up as the heiress for this huge company. There are always lgbt+ characters.
Extremely active in discussions and is well-known by both his professors and his classmates for never shutting up but his contributions are interesting. Because of the media he grew up enjoying he pulls a lot of older references that his professors enjoy.
Does not do his homework in a timely manner. It always is done ON TIME, sure, but he pushes things to last minute or spends so much energy making sure everything is worked on properly that it's done early by accident.
forgets to check class discord servers but frequently in dms when he can get over his anxiety. he mostly has all of his friends read his drafts before he turns them in to class, and they all love his little OCs that he is constantly thinking about. he also has written essays for all of them that they've turned in as their own work. they never got caught.
ROXY (Initially also Computer Science, dropped out, took a gap year, now doing Architecture)
Went into Computer Science because she was undecided but went with what Dirk was doing. She joined a sorority her freshman year for the social aspect and it accidentally really fucked up her career pathway. Her teachers knew she was incredibly smart but she could not keep up the lifestyle she was living, and she failed out of her classes even with her friends' help.
Took a gap year and realized that she was not going to be able to do Computer Science based on Dirk's sophomore year work. her mom gave very similar advice to what jaye got, except it was more like "You don't need to take the obvious pathway, think about what you enjoy most and go with that." and she realized she really loves building and construction. That was her favorite part of building her robots. So after a gap year she started an architecture major.
Extremely hardworking in her major but struggles with deadlines. Her charisma helps her out a lot (plus accommodations) that lets her explain her way out of missing project check-ins. Her stuff is always done in time for critiques but she frequently misses in-progress ones because of how she works.
She's EXTREMELY popular in her major. She has a ton of friends and they frequently camp out in the architecture building working on projects together. She uses her college dollars to get snacks for everyone and shows up with them. She tends to stay in the building until 4am and Dirk comes to pick her up. He doesn't mind because he's happy she's working so hard.
She's on track to graduate the year after everyone else does!! (She doesn't know that one of her professors is ready to give her an entry-level job at his firm when she does)

fuck corporate. i work in a cafe inside a larger store, and we've been undergoing renovations since i started back in september. a few months ago the new cafe was finished, so we were moved to the new location within the store. not that bad, still close to where we were before, everything's great.
except when renovations for the new cafe were almost finished, we found out it was going to be smaller than the old cafe (which was already small). way less storage space, less space for us, overall just fucking tiny. but we figured, okay, it could be worse, we can make it work.
but then we started at the new cafe, and things started breaking. the nitro machine's longest streak of working days in a row is about two. it's broken a whopping 95% of the time. (why the hell did higher ups decide we need the damn thing when maybe one person a month even asks if we sell nitro??? i can count on one hand the amount of nitro coffees we've sold since we got that machine)
one of the espresso machines broke only a week in, and after it got fixed the steam wand was still broken, and a week ago we just shut the whole machine off. so now we're down to one working espresso machine, and this is HELL especially on days like saturday and sunday when we have huge lines of people.
only one of our cold brew machines was working from the beginning of this whole mess, and then about a month and a half ago the other one broke too. so now we're using this old toddy in the back that just doesnt work nearly as well and is a pain to drain into the pitchers.
on top of all this our oven and blenders broke about a month or so ago, so we had a solid week where we could basically only sell hot bar drinks, refreshers, and brewed teas/coffees. it was such a nightmare.
and to cap it all off we have two registers that only partially work. the new card reader at the new register has a broken chip reader, so we use the old one, whose card reader touch screen isnt working a solid 85% of the time and we have to tell EVERY CUSTOMER to please use the pen to select an option on the screen to pay because for some reason we're not allowed to put a note on the reader that the touch screen isnt working.
i miss the old cafe so much. i actually enjoyed working there!! but now everything's broken all the time, it's too goddamn small to fit everything we need, let alone EVERYONE, and i miss my friends from other departments i barely see anymore because of the location we were moved to.
and no one higher up seems to even give a shit about any of this. i talked to our regional manager when he stopped in the other day and told him we were really struggling with everything breaking, and he just told me "well, you can file a work order".
first of all, no i can't, because no one fucking teaches us how to do that in the first place. would certainly be nice if i could! second, we keep having people in to fix all this shit, and it just breaks again within a day or two. and then it takes a week AT LEAST for someone to come in again to fix it.
i used to enjoy this job, but now its such a nightmare. i'm really tempted to switch to another department but i'm not sure if it would be worth it since i'm probably leaving in a few months anyway.

A Particularly Funny Ride on Nitro
Tumblr media
I've been on Nitro a grand total of two times thus far (and unfortunately what you see above is the only photo I have of it as of right now). But even amidst everything I've been on, from Pantheon to Twisted Timbers, this thing is still such a grand slam. It's something I always put my hands up on, from start to finish. But during my second ride on Nitro this past summer, in which I went by myself, I was sitting in the same row as these 2 guys. I sat in the center-left, while they occupied the center and far-right seats. Initially I didn't pay much attention to them, but as the ops prepared to send us out of the station, their convos caught my attention. One of them said to the other as the ops checked our restraints "Bro this does NOT feel safe." Now just to make it clear, rollercoasters, especially modern ones, are arguably safer than airplanes. And Nitro was manufactured by Bolliger and Mabillard (B&M) , who are known in the industry and public for their efficiency, safety and fail-safes. But hey, for 2 scared guys, a big coaster is a big coaster, and I can't change that.
Our train pulled out of the station and began to climb the chain lift. I was growing more and more excited as I do, but those 2 were not exactly having the best time. Both of them were going "ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit" throughout the climb, and although I was keeping my eyes on the road, I'm sure they were trying not to look down and only make their panic worse. I'll link a POV of Nitro below, so you can get an idea as to how big its lift hill is:
youtube
So yeah, pretty long climb. We finally crested the hill, I raised my arms, and they started screaming. They weren't high-pitched screams or anything, more so a constant "OHMYGODOHSHITOHFUCKOHSHITOHMYGODOHMYGODOHFUCK-". Plus, I'm fairly certain they were deciding what was better throughout the ride: holding onto the restraints for dear life, or flailing their arms in an attempt to fly away from the coaster. Now, I'm the kinda girl who laughs on a coaster, with the occasional woo! thrown in. And it's hard to say when the shift occured, perhaps on the hammerhead turn back to the park, but my laughter eventually turned from "oh my god this is so fun" to "oh my god these boys are going apeshit." I wasn't looking at them or anything, but every so often I would see a hand flailing around to my right. And it wasn't like their screams were being muffled by anything; eeeeeeeeveryone in the train could hear them.
Once we hit the final brake run, I was still laughing hysterically. I looked to my right, and they looked like they'd seen a ghost. They were limp in their seats and almost hyperventilating. I tried to calm down as much as I could, and asked them if they were okay. Their response?
"Blgrhub" I think they were okay.
They quickly vanished after I left the station, and I unsurprisingly never saw them again. But wherever those 2 are now, I hope they're still okay. Maybe they're back at Great Adventure right now for Holiday in the Park and are once again riding Nitro; it's one of the few coasters they still operate at this time of year \o/
