    ... is how my brain and mouth are trying to make sense of this.

    Apparently Hungarian has a 'tsi / 'tsee sound that is basically like the Japanese 'tsu, just with a different trailing vowel.

    For whatever reason, in Japanese, there is only 'tsu, there is no... 'tsah or 'tsee or 'tsoh.

    And in Hungarian ... there is only 'tsi/'tsee ... no 'tsu or 'tsah or 'tsoh.

    ... I have spent the last hour being baffled and also making consonant and vowel sounds randomly, like a madman.

  • If you agree to wear that notorious horse mask, and take at least one shot through it, you're invited.

    Also you just have to always say 'neigh' instead of 'no', if you fuck that up, another shot.

    (we can do half shots if you're not a heavy drinker, you can lead a horse to water but forcing it to black out is unethical)

  • Boy I sure do remember a lot of people in the last ten years tell me its completely impossible to run any kind of modern enterprise set up without Windows.

    Wow!

    They were all fucking wrong!

    Who could have guessed!

  • Ah, so there's so much evidence that denial is now impossible, and its time to start sacrificing people.

    Oh please implode faster Microsoft, you are so immensely horrible in so many ways.

  • What habit do you possess that seems very normal to you, but would seem odd to anyone else?

    Jump

  • Damn. Well you've got more of a runway than I currently do, so you're on top of things...

    But yeah, I... was homeless for a while... took years to recover from the more acute PTSD type shit that left me with... I guess I've just got slightly different version of the long term hypervigilance scarring than you.

    The 'constant potential threat analysis' variant.

    One of these days, we will build a future that is not so bleak.

    Somehow, someway ... it must be done.

    The alternative is unacceptable.

  • ... sounds pretty rough, not fun.

    But, you did make it through it.

    I would genuienly suggest that you set up and maintain a 3 or 6 month emergency fund... literally as a psychological means of being able to actually feel ok about spending you can afford to spend, as much as for the actual finance sense.

    Like basically, look at your budget, set an amount that always goes into that fund each month.

    Once you hit the 3 or 6 month target?

    If you have money left over after accounting for all other significant spending... it is actually ok to spend that money as fun money.

    Then after that fills over, consider something like high yield savings account. Still pretty liquid, not very risky, but, it is still withdrawable, but but, you have the emergency fund now as a buffer.

  • Well, uh full irony of the bluntness intended here:

    Takes one to know one.

    You remind me of... me, just, with friends who aren't assholes.

    Blunt, yet detailed, as fair as you can be?

    Giving a half answer feels like lying?

    Lying itself is essentially innately not a thing you do, unless you learn how to, by studying it as a concept?

    Ding ding ding.

    If you happen to be something like a world class CS2 player... you may be 'impossibly' fast.

  • Its literally a trauma response to poverty, its a kind of hypervigilance.

    It can be a superpower in many situations, it can be a debilitating neuroticism in others.
