[Daily thread] How are you doing today? 06-11-2023

So I'm past 30yo and today I tried to get back into dating. I've joined a discord and most of them are around the age of 20. It feels alien too me to have so many short (1 to 5 words) sentences followed by cat gifs. Not sure if I can do this. I need deeper meaning and longer sentences. :(
- Your username is "send me nude girls" , and you're talking about socializing for dating purposes on discord. You might be approaching this on hard mode.
  
  Might I suggest going out in person? Meetups, bars, shared activities, heck even tinder.
  
  My username is more of a joke than anything. I get the first impression vibes though.
  
  You're right about finding outside activities, I need something to build my self worth.
- I'd recommend you filter by age, and don't date anyone younger than 25 if you are actually looking for a relationship.
  
  25 is already stretching it. I have a good 25 years old friend and he's often talking in Twitch emoji language. No fucking joke.
- Good luck, it's always tough to date past 20s
  
  I'm an introvert. I'm basically fucked
- Discord is tricky because most of it is filled with teens. If you specifically search for 21+, 25+, 30+, etc. communities, you'll have a much saner time in my experience. They do exist out there, but I don't know how many are dating focused.
  
  I'm not mentally ready for over30 parties (but I agree)
- Oh no... discord is so bad for 30+ dating in my experience. it doesnt really feel condusive to formijg relationships naturally
Had a fun debate with some civil engineering friends about city design,hexagonal layouts. I'm on my third cup of coffee.
It's alright, making small progress on a personal project. My feet are cold though, and it's supposed to be full spring here yet we're having cold damp days.
- Nice, is your personal project fun at least?
  
  It's entertaining enough, although sometimes I get bored when I hit a knowledge gap and have to figure out how to do stuff. I'm making a realistic creature in blender, and I'm somewhat new to blender.
Doing alright, a bit sore from yesterday workout - had a cup of coffee and will start soon my workday, only one meeting scheduled and right at the end so not too bad
I'm doing alright just waiting for my new laptop, excited for it just annoyed it took a few more days than it needed to.
- A new laptop, that's always exciting! How does it compare to the old one?
  
  My old laptop can only do basic browsing, not quite as bad as a chrome book but slowing over the past 2 year, my new one is a gaming one and will allow me to create video edits easily, also is loads better than my Desktop that I do most things on, including edits at the moment. (The new one has a 3050 in it)
Not well. In a dark place today. Hoping this week goes better than the last.
- Take it one day at a time and know people are there for you if you need it <3
