    @evom - Lol! Definitely there should be a sort of pop/sub culture rip off apprentice program you have to go through.

    Naw, that would just be stupid. Some of the best toys and video games come from rip off trends.

    Well I was being facetious, but I find the whole thing tedious at this point. I prefer original characters not flips of flips. Its kind of indicative of the post hypebeast kaiju thing that happened a while back.

    Fuck my weak immune system from chemo. Developed a bunch of staph/infected pimples out of nowhere and had to go back on antibiotics for the 3rd time in the last 3 months. Can't catch a break to save my life.

    @abelincolnjr Hey Abe long time no talk! Thanks man.Yeah diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma. Talk about fun times. Outlook is positive as apparently this is highly treatable but the down-side is chemo totall kills all the good stuff you need in your body like white blood cells etc. Wrote about it here:

    There doesn't seem to be a lot of competition, atm, tbh. Unfortunately! One of the best of it's time, though, for sure.
    I just watched ep3 last night and almost fell over when Rich Fulcher walked on. That was pretty cool. If you don't keep up with the British comedies, you probably have no idea who he is (I found him pretty annoying till I got used to him):

    OK, fuck Verizon for charging me $33 this month for 411 calls. $2.75 a call to talk to an automated robot, yeah, that sounds legit. And the maybe four times I did manage to "talk" to someone, they didn't even listen to my question and switched me back to the bot system within, no hyperbole, three seconds. Which is partially why I had to call so many fucking times. The remaining reason is because it's a bot and it doesn't actually understand what the fuck it is you're saying. Fucking shitbags, excuse my French.

    What is 411?

    Is it like 911 but for things that might become emergencies but haven't yet?

    Half-assed 911?

    @Waterbear - Uh, yeah, kinda. It's called "information" usually, I guess. Basically, you call when you need a phone number? Which, I would suspect it's pretty much obsolete these days, but I've never had a smartphone and my monitor went up, so I had no other way get a cab company, attempt to find a store near me, I tried a couple relatives who's numbers I didn't have... I mean, I had all that on the computer, but fat lot of good that did.

    Yeah, let me grab my non-existent smartphone lmao. Hadn't thought of that. I'm on disability, I only leave the house once every two weeks for groceries, the only person I have any contact with in real life, aside from if I need to sign for a package, is my mom, who I stopped talking to a couple months ago. I have no use for a smartphone. The last time I used my voice was when I went to get that monitor, which was a couple weeks ago, probably. If you have no idea what store is closest to you, what you're even supposed to be getting the number for, and there's no help like that on the other end, yeah, it takes quite a few calls. It probably took me four calls just to get a fucking cab company, 'cause I guess I didn't know the exact name and/or address and they immediately hang up on you. All those calls were that day, and I think they gave me two free ones, the dears.

    Usually I would see my mom every week and anything I need to take care of I'd do then 'cause I don't have like trillions of dollars to be ferried around in a taxi everywhere. But sometimes we stop talking. So.. yeah I am living in present time along with the rest of you, I just haven't been gifted with the same "privilege", I think they call it, as 99% of the people I know of. If you must know.

    There I go, assuming shit again..

    But wait.. You’ve got a computer, you’re on Skullbrain. And considering you’re on here, I’m assuming that you buy/collect toys. You mentioned receiving packages so you’re most likely ordering toys on the web or from other collectors. Most likely, this isn’t happening through phone calls but I could be wrong. So you definitely have a computer/laptop/tablet. You can use your computer to google shit too, you know.. You can use Google maps to look up shit around you and get phone numbers as well, within seconds..

    I feel like I’m being trolled. Am I really having this conversation in 2017?

    That makes sense. Reminds me of when I was a little kid and the nintendo power hotline was free. Used to call almost every single day but eventually it turned into a service that charged for calls and I had to stop.

    And yes, darling, people still suffer from mental illness in 2017. Wtf, right?

    I remember those days. I never had access to any free ones, though. Games would have the tipline right on the case. Total scam. Whenever I got stuck I'd walk to the B&N and hope they had the guide for whatever I was playing. Then I'd sit there taking notes :lol:

    My fiancé works with mentally ill people daily and has been for the past 20 years of her life. Some of her clients have smartphones and computers, some do not. The fact that you’re on SB daily and buy toys from all over the world using the Internet lead me to believe that you would have a smartphone, my bad..

    Trying to place blame on random internet people for being unaware of someone's mental stability is kind of ridiculous. It's pretty impossible to judge people's mental state from a small number of forum posts as there is absolutely no context...

    Dude, this is beginning to get tiresome. You asked why didn't I use my computer. I quoted an earlier post where I'd said my monitor was broken. What exactly does that have to do with smartphones or my illness? You need to step back, slow your roll, check yo self, pump your breaks... anything along those lines. I mean, maybe I'm not the one with the mental illness here?

    I think the assumption was more that you have access to a computer with a monitor if you're posting right now on SB. Personally I think something is getting lost here, since it's easy to misinterpret things over the web when it's written and not spoken.

    As someone who also suffers from mental illness, I just want to put in my two cents.
    I was SO resistant to getting a smartphone. I like familiarity. I liked my "dumb phone." I didn't think I needed any fancy photo-taking, or apps, or stuff like that. Then my parents kind of forced me into it, and I was surprised how much I used it. Having a GPS device in your pocket, being able to Google anything on a whim, and play some mind-numbing games to pass time is damn amazing.
    Being on disability doesn't leave anyone with much free money, but as long as you don't buy from Apple or Samsung, you can get a phone super cheap. Even better, you can get a tablet and just use Wi-Fi. I have a $150 Android Samsung tablet that is pretty outdated but does everything I need it to do... order things from Amazon or eBay, Google life's most pressing questions (not really), check the cryptocurrency market, message a friend or two, take a snapshot, set an alarm to wake up... so on.
    It kind of just replaces a lot of other things and makes life a bit easier.
    Best part is when I'm feeling depressed, I can just disconnect anytime I need to. Put the social media apps in a folder called DO NOT TOUCH and go about my day.

    And my own little Fuck You...
    Fuck my aunt! You're 60 and still have daddy issues? Get over yourself. Your dad is 87, he has Parkinson's, and has a pituitary gland tumor that's being treated with radiation right now. He doesn't need you to invite your sorry ass over just so you can passive-aggressively blame him for all your life's problems. You get fired from every job because you think you're an authority, not a hireling. You tell people that they know less than you, even when they have a degree and you don't. You demean people who you view as lower on the ladder, when you're in fact on the same rung. You think bosses and managers should view having you work for them as a privilege, when in fact you having a job at all is a privilege and you're more than expendable. The cycle continues and you never realize the problem is you and your attitude. It's always "Daddy cheated on Mommy" and "Daddy didn't want to pay for my education" and "Daddy set me up for failure."
    Your dad cheated on your mother because she was a tyrannical narcissistic sociopath and she made him suffer under her wrath. The marriage was already over when he escaped and found his new wife. He didn't have the money to completely pay for your fancy art college, which you dropped out of to elope with your husband anyway. And then when your own husband cheated on you, which is the only thing you actually have a right to be angry and upset over, it was your choice to not give him a second chance though he crawled back on his hands and knees a broken, sorry man.
    "Daddy" never did anything to harm you. Shove your excuses back up your ass, stop complaining about the "Mexicans" that work in retail because you are in no way better than they are, and stop bothering your poor father with your drama!

    I mean, don't go around asking flippant questions when you're not going to pay attention the answers, to the point that you're asking multiple times about things that were already clearly explained. To and for you. I'm just not seeing anything that could be misinterpreted there. I mean, I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but people who are disabled, particularly from a stigmatized condition like a mental illness, you know, it's not always that fun to talk about it publicly. Having to explain the same things over and over to some dumbfuck who doesn't have basic reading comprehension doesn't help.

    I can understand some initial confusion, but I don't think it's some much about misinterpretation, It's more about people being privileged enough to be incredulous that someone wouldn't have access to a smartphone or computer in "2017", and being flippant about it, and doubting you when you explain it. Or not bothering to respond when you go through pains to explain the situation they asked about.

    Come correct is what I'm getting at.

    Am I supposed to get this for when I'm on the toilet or do you think I'm just making this stuff up? It sounds like you're trying to sell me on smartphone, I could be misinterpreting. When I get up in the morning, I sit down in front of my computer and I get up when I go to bed. Basically.

    I do appreciate your general concern here, but you seem to be missing some key parts of the convo, as well. Which I'll gladly tolerate from someone who's at least being decent.

    And I should say, this is not really me flipping a shit out of the blue. I basically have to explain this bullshit to anybody I'm going to interact with more than once. So they don't misinterpret my actions/behavior. And... then you have to listen to them say "oh, I went through a period of like a month were I didn't want to talk to anybody" :roll: "oh, you need to get a hobby or go for a walk" :roll: It's just endless. People aren't able to comprehend basic depression, they sure aren't able to comprehend somebody who stopped leaving the house five years ago, and stopped socializing ten. I don't know anybody like that. I just don't. So, the commiseration that's available to other groups? No. I don't know one person who gets it.

    You'd be right saying I don't exactly get your situation, but please believe me when I say I'm trying. I was very tired when I read your posts so I completely missed the part where you got the monitor. (derp!) I didn't mean anything with any malice. I know it gets tiring to explain things, especially when they're particularly unpleasant.
    And yeah, you're right, from what you're saying it seems like you don't need a smartphone. I didn't realize how deep your depression was. I'm truly sorry that it's something you suffer through, and don't worry, I'm not going to give some silly suggestion for you because I know depression is one hell of a beast that not everyone can just "get better" from. So-called "cures" are not a one-size-fits-all sort of deal, like when you have a cold.
    I have migraines and I get told to go gluten-free all the damn time. One of these days I'm sure to punch someone in the face with my fist embedded in a loaf of bread.

    Oh and I'm just going to throw another FUCK YOU into here...

    FUCK HAVING TO CHOOSE WHICH TOYS TO PART WITH!!!
    I always buy toys with zero intention of ever letting go (except with Lucky Bags, because trades are fun and you don't always get everything you want to keep) but I have to sit down before the end of the year and make some hard decisions about which toys need to go.
    Bruiser's medical bills, my boyfriend's medical and dental bills, and the fact that the slimeballs at his job eliminated overtime all mean we lost a significant chunk of our savings this year... savings that were supposed to be used for moving out and getting a place of our own.
    I'm considering cutting down my collection to mostly just GID and a few select pieces I just can't bring myself to sell, but dang does it suck. Probably why I've put it off for almost 3 months now.
