What made you smile today?

I wasn't of one of my favorite visual artists having their own webcomic. It seems rather silly, in a rather pleasant way~... ^^

Ohh, that looks like something I'd enjoy. Would you mind sharing a link to the webcomic? ^_^

Heheh, 'course love! It's pretty short so far - just 18 Eps of two or three pages each - so she's just posting it in a Twitter thread.

If you like her art, you might also be interested in the free VN she wrote. It's apparently a short retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, this time as a sweet romance story, from what I can tell. ^~^

As of late, having been forced to go shopping again, I've made a habit of holding onto things things I don't want till I reach the line. Once there, I'll find a worker and hand it to them directly.

It's a minute kindness, aye. Most people don't know what to do with it at first. However, I reckon that the stockers at these big-box retailers already work hard enough. Might as well make things a bit easier.

At the very least. the girl monitoring self-checkouts seemed quite grateful. She was very kind, thanked me twice. ^~^

Ah, I typically just go put it back in its original place~ It bothers me when people just leave stuff on random aisles though, yes!

Got a better job. Pays better and has better hours. Not to mention the management is great. The funny thing about why I like it is that I don't have to talk to anyone and just do my own job for the entire shift.

People actually just leave things everywhere?
That sounds pretty wild. And then there is me who won't even pick up an item unless I really want to read the label in the back because I was afraid of dirtying whatever I was picking up with the germs on my hands. If I pick it up I'll probably take it home.

I usually stay behind to talk with other people. It's kind of fun for a few years. Better pay and better time are more important though definitely.

水面の朧月 People actually just leave things everywhere?

Yeah. It's usually one sort of person though. I shan't try to sound too elitist here though~

水面の朧月 Better pay and better time are more important though definitely.

eeeeeh, I dunno. There's definitely a balance to be struck. What's the use in making loads of money if you hate getting up in the morning every day?

The new DUNE movie is amazing. I had the biggest smile on my face by the time the credits were rolling. ^__^

Nice bike, what do you like about it most? I'm not a biker, so I have no idea.

Foolguy Probably the name, tbh

I found this one random site while I was going through my password manager to clean it up and sort everything. Turns out it's a forum I registered on a few years ago on a whim and not only is it still going strong, it also looks a lot cooler since I last visited it!

I do feel a little bad for forgetting about this though.

I wouldn't feel bad, most new people these days show up for one day, then disappear forever. The fact your back means you've done better than most.
Also welcome, enjoy your time here

I found out my university library is a Federal Depository Library and had a lot of fun looking at old government reports!
(Yeah, yeah, I'm a nerd, I know...)

quintuplicate What sorta reports? I assume a federal library probably isn't gonna have the super incriminating stuff ^^'

malmon Yeah.

quintuplicate Old government reports and the places they are stored in are so precious! I had to leave through dozens of old federal statistics books for a research job once, for which I visited the special library of the state statistics bureau here in Berlin, Germany. The old lady managing the library was quite fidgety the whole time and she also offered me coffee and cake, which I gladly accepted. After I was done, I had to write my personal information into the "visitors book". I was the 6th person to visit the library that year (this was in November).
