The new me I guess

Hi GbaTemp, If your new too this site or new to me in general then hi my name is owenge (Error). So during the summer I tried to figure out what I'm going to do for the rest of my life and understanding others problems. So here's what I found/did this summer.

1. I got back together with my ex and we are now dating again. She is going though therapy (depression) and I'm supporting her the whole time).

2. God I have a lot of electronics I've collected over the years.

3. Being a adult and still being in high school (held back in third grade) puts you in a very confusing legal position :/

4. I need to start being more independent with choices but consider others

5. Money is a problem

6. College is like throwing money into a well and wishing for higher income

7. I would like to go into tech for a job

8. Best bet is going for a trade education

9. I'm really bad with photoshop but it's something I would love to get better at it

Thank you and Have a great day :toot:

@DeoNaught yep any trade makes a lot more money nowadays because everyone is pushing for the 4 year college path

You like photoshopping? Or are you using it as an art program? There are professional photoshoppers you know. Also, what kind of tech? You can always learn these things without going to college, just don't put yourself in a position that stresses you out too much, I mean you probably already know that...

Going for a trade makes more money to start with but you'll be capped in future. Plus you'll age faster having a more physical career (joints get worn out etc).

You should do what you enjoy. If you know anyone in university, ask them to send you the name of their textbook and their assignments etc and then you can get an idea of whether what they are studying is something that will interest you.

Whatever you do, make sure you're learning - doing an unskilled job full time with no prospects of advancing to a position you would enjoy holding (eg if you love admin and working with people then working at a supermarket as a checkout chick might be fine if all you want from life is to be a store manager) is the best way to fill your life with regrets. Whatever you do, make sure it is part of a path that moves towards something you want, not just filling time.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
