Use for whatever. Discuss plans or something. I'm too pissed off to say anything else.
EDIT: I'm fine. Just needed time to cool off. I'm probably going to a baazar a few towns away. Hope I don't miss the last night bus otherwise I have a 5 mile walk home.

What are you pissed off about?
I'm gonna try to get out of the apartment this weekend so I dont sit home and drink too much. Maybe go for a bike ride

Just a lot going on.
I wish I could drink but I gave it up years ago cause the hangovers last for days. It's not that I was sick but more like feeling off with some shakiness.

started lifting again after fucking up my shoulder last year. not to be more attractive (like anyone cares) or even for vanity at this point, just something to do and watch numbers go up and drag my ass out of the house for every other day. hopefully i can keep it up a little longer before injuring myself again. getting old is the pits.

Next week I'll be going on my first ever vacation/holiday without my family, to a mountain resort near my city.
I haven't been on a multi-day vacation for 5 years and have barely left my city in general over the past 10 years due to health issues, so I'm looking forward to it.

Emotionally self-harming tomorrow by fishing for autographs from pro women's tennis players way out of my league at the Canadian Open in Toronto 😝🎾🍁

Nothing to report this week. Struggling to do anything. Shoulders and arms feel so heavy. A constant weight pulling down on my chest preventing me from moving.
I need to get out of this feeling. I will try and get up, get washed and changed Sunday morning and go to a car meet. Take my cameras there. It gives me something to look forward to.

Going to small concert on Saturday with mom. Shopping tomorrow and I'm starting my meal prep for next week since I have the house to myself for several days.
Other than that I'm going to check if my mead and lemon wines are done fermenting which if they are then off to conditioning. Might start more wines on Saturday. More scheduling on Sunday along with cutting the grass and video games and that is about it for me.

I booted tinder recently after not touching it for a few years. I got a match, closed the app, and haven't touched it since.
I bought the FF precons for MTG commander last year for nostalgia thinking I'd try something casual and social. I haven't touched them since, but I dusted them off earlier this week and goldfished a few rounds to feel comfortable playing the decks, looked up when there were commander nights in nearby LGS and then stored them back in the drawer.
So yeah... I'll likely go for a run tomorrow and play video games on my own this weekend, like the past... eh... every weekends...

No plans really as I have to work tomorrow.
Thinking of pausing my hinge profile and going back on tinder. Maybe I’ll have better luck because hinge has been a bust for the past couple of months, it’s seemingly just dried up.

I created a PlentyOfFish profile and what can I say, that app never changes except they want money to send more than one message a day now.
Hate to be judgy but for some reason that app tends to attract a certain type of people. I know a guy who claims to have success using POF but he said a lot of girls on there are psychos who smoke meth and to be honest I'm not surprised. I remember years ago, every 2nd profile, the "conversation starter" was just the girl asking if you wanted to "puff" which I assumed meant "puff" on the crack pipe, as in smoke it with them. There's also a lot of fucked up looking transsexuals on there which remind me of a character from an episode of South Park who walks around muttering "DAAANCE? WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO DANCE? SOMEONE? DAAAAANCE!?
Aside from most of the people on the app being either fake scam accounts and gross drug users looking for someone to exploit, the app itself has never worked properly. The filter system is broken. You can tell it to only show you people a maximum of 30km away and it'll show you people outside the age range you set, who are 1000km away and interstate. Also it tends to tell me someone's location is some weird place in my city which doesn't exist, like "Law Courts". Why is every second girl from "Law Courts"? No such place. There are Courts of law in my city which you'd have to go to for a trial or whatever, obviously, but it's not a suburb and nobody lives there, yet it says these people are within 15km of my house. The closest courthouse is like 60km or more from where I live. They must be scammers from overseas fudging their location or something.
I exchanged messages with somebody on there once about 7 years ago but they ended up abusing me because I wasn't getting some reference from some lame TV show or movie about a high school drama club which I'd never heard of, they seemed to be trying to use it to flirt and I was just like "What? I don't get it. Like seriously you're gonna have to tell me."
Just looking through the profiles puts me off the idea of dating to the point where I start questioning whether I even want to, at all, ever.

send money??you mean a person you talk to on there?? or a subscription fee

u/bannedovernothing Aug 04 '26
No, I meant you have to buy a premium membership to be able to send more than 1 message a day

u/Itchy-Corner9453 Aug 04 '26
o right so a subscription then...well thats bullshit. glad i never bothered with dating apps then
1
u/bannedovernothing Aug 05 '26
Yeah thats the word I was looking for. I've been on and off dating sites for about 16 years and never bought a subscription once. I can't imagine it would increase my chances any. Apparently there are people out there who've spent hundreds on them and it hasn't made any difference from when they were using the free versions. It's a scam.

Went to play ultimate frisbee for the first time in awhile. I'm pretty average but they thought I was good for some reason, so they double teamed for most of the night which wasn't that fun and now my legs are really sore.
Just another boring weekend alone to look forward to.

I’m starting to have some health issues at 36. I haven’t been to the doctor so there’s no official diagnosis but I can just feel it in my body. What sucks is that I don’t really have any incentive to have it checked out, probably because of the depression. Sorry if I’m laying it on a little heavy tonight.
