Why the fuck is it that as soon as I bitch and whine about being useless when it comes to projects everyone fucking comes out and talks about the crazy, life-changing, "this is my moment" projects they've been doing.

Alright, I'm ready, who's next. Who built a plane? Who just finished their movie? I know Klein's got a novel stewing, is that shit gonn miraculously publish itself tomorrow? FUuuuckin HIT ME hubski, I can take it

e: no wait guys I was joking

Yo, I'm forty years old, I've worked my ass off for this to happen.

I've lived so much of my life as a useless wastrel...

Just getting my shit together right now.

You seem to have yourself together much more than I did at your age and you look much better in a suit than I do.

Don't despair.

I've been paying rent on this space for just over a year. My finances are devastated. I've got so many battle scars from dealing with the city. I don't know if I had it to do over if I would, but here I am.

If anyone asked me what I thought of you I would say that you are a smart, articulate, handsome man who is passionate and good at expressing himself in the written word. You have at least one niche that you are destined to fill and will probably inspire many people to reach for something more than they would have without you.

We haven't had many direct interactions on Hubski but I always take note of what you have to offer and it has sadden me whenever you have drawn away from the community because people are shitty. There is something good waiting for you, hope you see it when it pops it's head up.

8bit... you're not useless and you're not unimportant.

I'm trying to build an entirely new degree and department for the university I work at while expanding the computer science school.

I AM MORE OF A USELESS, LAZY PIECE OF SHIT THAN YOU.

HOW THE FUCK DID I GET INTO THIS.

Meriadoc, this sounds fascinating. Can you pm me with more of this.

Meriadoc  ·  3385 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Hey there! I'll shoot you some info when I get to my office!

OK, so I should add this to the Slogo and Lo-Gans. I mean logos and slogans.

Hubski: Paling your achievements in comparison -- since 2010

Don't think of it like that!

You're not wrong about the trend here lately with so many prominent community members making distinguishing victories. But guess what? You're one of us, and just as likely to hit the Hubski life-lottery (terrible analogy, sorry) as anyone else. And when we win, we seem to win pretty big around here.

We all know you're capable of incredible things. It's not like Hubskina was your last act; you've only just begun to fight, young 8bit.

Keep incubating. I'm really sorry to hear that shit's fucked for you at the moment, bruh. :(

e: woosh

Hey I might need someone to do some marketing once I have a product. It is a bit too complicated for a normal gaming channel, and I think you would be a good roll model. Was going to wait a bit to tell you though.
