aren't your cops, like, not allowed to have guns?

by **Malkevin** » Wed Apr 11, 2018 9:15 pm #399304

Some have guns, most armed police serve day to day as traffic cops.

Oh and the reason I was pulled was because my insurance didn't appear on their system, or that was their cover anyway, they must've seen a bearded man driving an old Toyota and decided to investigate. Keeping our streets safe they are.

The worst they could do is beat you with a shortened baton (the big one was too scary!)

Very few more like, the home office in all their wisdom have decided that regular constables don't need the big scary shooty shoots, because nothing bad ever happens to regular British police officers

The Discworld switches main characters every book or so iirc. If you want some really good ass stuff to read that is also really long but with a singular main character I suggest the dresden files.

by **Ricotez** » Mon Apr 16, 2018 5:25 pm #400576

You're still in the early few books, where Terry was still getting a feel for the world and the characters in it. The next book in the witches series is Wyrd Sisters, where Granny is the main character right from the start. Much later in the chronology there are the Tiffany Aching books, which have some of the same ideas as Equal Rites but execute them a lot better IMO. For starters Tiffany Aching is a much more interesting character than Eskarina Smith.

Personally my favourite books are those about the Ankh-Morpork city watch.

by **Anonmare** » Mon Apr 16, 2018 5:50 pm #400581

My favourite books were about Death, as a character he's so full of life.

by **Ricotez** » Mon Apr 16, 2018 6:14 pm #400587

those are a close second for me, but I like the Watch books just a little more because Vimes is such a great character, and a great example of badass lawful good

Is it sertaline?

Take the pills, they're not that bad

by **XSI** » Sat Apr 21, 2018 11:54 am #401978

Don't take pills you don't trust without medical guidance from a professional
Especially not if you are taking them for one of the side effects (Getting drowsy/easier sleep) rather than their intended main effect

Even if they are harmless, the fact you can speak to a doctor about them at any time will help in reducing anxiety's effects

I've been through so much these past handful of years or so, all I want now is some peace and quiet. It's hard not to feel jaded, so I've been trying to my damnedest to hold onto any semblance of lightheartedness so I don't come off as a huge loner jerk. Guess I'm afraid of it coming off as fake :p

do you guys think it may be time for Watercooler 3 soon

CosmicScientist wrote:Is it fake if it's what you want to be?

I don't know what I want it to be. I guess I haven't had the time to stop and reflect on that.

CosmicScientist wrote:As some say, be ironic as a joke and you'll eventually turn into it. So if you keep trying, you'll be happy. That or you'll figure something out along the way. Spend time with friends!

It's not really about happiness, it's about getting over this existential dread of losing everything and having to live on the streets again. It's hard forgetting what it feels like to be betrayed or to starve, or to be cold and not have anywhere to go. That's why it's hard not to feel jaded, like I was ground down from a nice, cheerful person into a nervous and paranoid loner.

That's stuff I can get over eventually, it doesn't phase me as much as it may sound. I'm really more afraid of becoming more detached and distant from people. It's become really easy to do this and I fear one bad week could push me towards it.

It's better if I go it alone for now, I'd rather suffer alone than to hurt people I care about with my bullshit.

Watercooler 1 was remove because a community member posted pictures of their cut up arms in it. Based Endgamerazari had the good sense to make another one. I don't see any reason to kill his perfectly functional thread

It's warm, I want to buy some short sleeve work shirts but wtf - did they suddenly get banned or something?

Can't find any anywhere that aren't sweaty white polyester, aside from the fact I hate them sticking to me I can't wear white when half of my job involves either crawling about under desks or moving equipment that is often caked in dust.

I'm really stocky though so I'd prefer to be able to try the shirt on, yes you can send them back but thats a PITA
