For me, it was a long talk I had with a random person on Omegle when that was a thing. I was bored one night so I decided to give it a try and I was matched with someone who I had nearly a 2 hour conversation with. We told jokes, told each other about ourselves, and talked like we were lifelong friends. But, we never did tell each other our names. I could've talked to this person all night but the interaction turned for the worst near the end. The person was depressed from what I gathered and the depression arose and the conversation fizzled out. I still think about them nearly 6 years later and hope that they are doing good whoever they were.

My job title is Storyboard artist/3D Generalist but I haven't really done any storyboards or 3D stuff for about a month. I'm more of a compositor now working for a small production studio. However, since it's client work and the big boss has been off on a press tour, I haven't really had anything to do for the past 2 weeks. I'd wake up around 10-11, lay in bed until maybe 12 or so. I'd get out of bed, go buy a coffee from McDonald's, and then either watch tv or play my Xbox. Rinse and repeat unless something interesting happens that day. Sometimes I'd get a task from work which usually takes me about 1 to 2 hours to finish then I'd do nothing again. I basically do nothing all day and get paid for it. Sounds pretty awesome but I'm bored out of my mind.

What smartphone do your use? What's the best phone you had owned? in c/[email protected]

Galaxy Z Fold 5. Before this I had a Z Flip 4. This Fold 5 is probably the best phone I've ever owned. The screen is amazing to watch stuff on, I make music sometimes on it, I played through all of Paper Mario on it, I use it to draw when I'm bored or waiting for someone.

What was the craziest cartoon(s) you saw whilst a kid? in c/[email protected]

Watership Down was what traumatized me on seeing blood in cartoons. Cartoons and blood just...dont mix.

What's a trend people outside of your field / hobby are probably unaware of? in c/[email protected]

Well, from what I've been reading, apparently there's some sort of 80 year contract that was made in 1947 that is supposed to expire. Either with aliens or something like that.

There's a lot of buzz going around the UFO community about something BIG coming. I've been hearing people talk about 2027 a lot.

What is the funniest one syllable word you can think of? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Shit. I associate that with how my friend and I used to say it during games. "Ah Chiet!" like you have no teeth.

The last time someone mistook you for someone else, what happened? in c/[email protected]

I had a random guy I have never seen in my life recognize me in a city I don't even live in. I was walking by a dude in an aisle of a thrift shop and he did a double take when he looked at me. If looks could kill I would've dropped dead right there. As I walked by I heard him mumble something and swear. Immediately I felt uncomfortable so I left. I was showing my mom around town at the time so the next time I saw him while we were waiting for the bus he didn't seem to recognize me since I was standing beside my mom.

Later on, I heard a news story from that city that some dude was randomly shot. Apparently it was a targeted killing. Sometimes I wonder if that was going to me just based on how that guy looked at me.
