So yeah furniture, without any screws and shit, only joints with wood.
Oh that is super neat! I have two rocking chairs and a sofa my grandpa built too. I find woodworking really neat! If I had the money I'd try to set up a little shop for my own! Most I've accomplish is some garden boxes using old barn timber.

This is awesome. I'd love to learn something like this.
I was duped into going to a prestige-for-profit art technical school in Florida and accrued an almost unthinkable amount of debt to do so. I didn't graduate and have been hiding from collectors ever since, this is 15 years ago now.
I can't take out a loan to go back to school and I can't not work. I've tried online courses with no success. I am a failure in almost all aspects of professional life, and I'm not happy.
The flip side is that I'm in a happy reliationship with someone who loves me in spite of all that, have an amazing daughter who is more talented than anyone I know and an incredible support system in my family.
I would give literally anything to change some of my choices. I would do anything to keep some from being changed.

This is a slice of some real life shit. Sounds like it follows a similar arc as my story. I'm on an upswing right now which is nice though.

Yeh sadly if you aren't lucky Uni is stupid expensive debt trap in the States!! I'm sorry for this my friend! I'm glad you have support from your family. I know way many too many people caught here just getting super depressed and letting it destroy life. You seem like you have a really good attitude about it though so good for you friend!
I've had an idea for a mafia game but have never hosted and have no idea how I could check balance without seeing similar games so I'm looking for past games that involve:
Mind control (where roles/votes for the town players are vulnerable to being co-opted by mafia using game mechanics) Changing gamestates (ie the possibility of a growing number of mafia) Players disappearing and then reappearing.
I know the last 2 were there in fibonacci mafia but that one turned out not to work very well because it was vulnerable to mass claim silliness.
Does anyone remember any games that have all/some of these elements and worked?

dope shit. Maybe one day we can all discuss the realities of life :D
I guess in that light I have it pretty awesome. No debt, fiancée has no debt, she has a job in LA, I just have to look for work and will probably find it
I need to sluff off the chip sitting on my shoulder.
Plus I just got back from Tondo, Manila;

I have exactly zero right to complain about any shit that ever happens to me
