What will you be doing on Christmas eve / New year's eve? Just wondering!

Well, It doesn't matter whether "you actually celebrate the day or not" or in fact whether you even like the day.
So how will you be spending yours?
 
The same as every year, with my family having a great time.
 
Today isn't Christmas or New Years, is it?
 
I'm preparing my survival pack now. I still need to get some things though... need more cigarettes for sure.

As long as you're stocking up on shit that'll get used up when it doesn't end, I think you're good to go.
 
Yeah, I have like 800 pounds of these boxes that have a 25 year shelf life and a bunch of water, and I'm going to get a big bag of charcoal. The food's not bad and I don't drink tap water here, it's not good, so I should be good for a few months there I think. I'm putting a bunch of it in my car, because I intend on taking that as far as I can if I have to leave. I'm trying to get parts that I might need for it, just in case I break down, but I haven't had time to get down to the scrap yard yet to take their stuff. But I can only carry so much in bag. I'm guessing like a hundred, hundred twenty pounds at most, but I need to be able to drop it down to 80 pounds, so most of it will be excess food or water that I can throw out if I need to, maybe a few other luxuries. I can move fast with 80 pounds. I do NOT have my guns though and that concerns me, so I'm not sure what to do about that.
 
If the world goes all apocalyptic then you're gonna need dem guns. I'd be more worried about that than spare parts for your car - it'll probably last you 'til where you need to go if you're gonna make it there, and once you've got a new home base you can start scavenging for spare parts off all the other abandoned, half-fucked cars out there. Charcoal's a great idea though... make sure you don't forget to stock up hard on lighters. That'll be a game-changer out there.
 
Ha, ha. Dude I'm afraid to take my car to Flagstaff to go snowboarding. Let alone Greenland. I expect to make it over towards Texas, and I have a buddy there that never took his keys from me. But really I mostly think I just need to get out of the city because I'm more worried about a bunch of crazy shit going down from riots that day. And I can't get my guns back down in time, I didn't really think about it. Plus I suppose it isn't that big of a deal considering I doubt anything is going to happen, but it HAS been fun preparing for it. I kind of wish I had my money instead though... Varine needs something expensive for Christmas.
 
If the world is coming to an end, I really hope I make it past the event that fucks up the majority of people. I really think I could thrive in a post-apocalyptic community. Myself, well... I can grow plants, at least. Let's hope the environment doesn't go to shit so I can get that far.
 
I was gonna say the same thing, but it felt a li'l dainty-handed when I typed it out. But let's rock this shit out.

Where's the first checkpoint?
 
Where are you? I'm in Phoenix, and I'm going towards Greenland, gonna get to the Air Force base up there and make camp. Zombies can't come because it's cold, should have facilities to grow food, lots of room, solar panels I think. My route is from here to Flagstaff, Albuquerque, then towards Oklahoma City to Indianapolis, and then I'm not sure. Ideally I would go to Buffalo, and head over to Maine and get on the I95 and then make my way into Canada and down towards Halifax or something, and get myself a ship. From there on out, it's only the seas and cold I have to contend with.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    I should have had all of this like a month ago but whatever, it's fine. He's trying a thing, idk it's his menu I don
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't care.
  • Varine Varine:
    Fuck I need more saturday nights off. Turns out I'm much cooler to drunk girls. If I hang out with enough people like that, eventually I'll meet one that likes me sober too
  • Varine Varine:
    idk if anyone has ever done IT. I am not IT but I just got off a 20 minute phone call with the general manager asking me how to make her new computer print. I do adore her, like I know her personally, but I asked three times if the printer was on. She apologized for bothering me, and Chef Ben walked in a few minutes later, turned the printer on apparently, and then called to ask if I was trying to print shit from my house again
  • Varine Varine:
    So I have a newfound appreciation
  • Varine Varine:
    And also I'm going to remove that one from my secondary career options
  • Varine Varine:
    As I get older I'm not thinking I can do this forever anymore, and I'm kind of dead end right now. I get a fine salary and fair raises, like I can easily live my lifestyle on this normally, but I don't know if I can do this in ten years, and I don't think I want to. I don't really have any desire to take over another restaurant, and I don't want to try and own one, and I doubt I'll luck out like I did with that taco place in Texas
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a math degree but that was a while ago and I'm not positive I actually deserved that. It was kind of just given to me I feel like cuz I was in school so long. Like for a bit as a teenager I got real into the mormon thing, and my dad grew up kind of similarly. Much like he fell out of it
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway he started coming to church with me for a bit, and they gave home the I think Melchizedek? idk how to spell it, but it's the 'upper' priesthood, like he had a whole blessing thing after I got baptized, and it WAS a very neat experience. And the only reason I think they did they did that was cuz he was like late 30s, and that is kind of the age that they have the last chance at that
  • Varine Varine:
    And I mean its not, but like... I'm pretty well set in my lack of religious beliefs, I guess. And I'm a bit younger than my dad would have been then.
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I got real into, he got bored and was like you do you dude, and that's how I got a huge amount of freedom when I started doing drugs as a teenager
  • Varine Varine:
    In hindsight my parents were fantastic. but they were too fucking tired to raise kids like me. And their jobs were easier with better benefits.
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway idk where I'm going here, but I asked ChatGPT some of the same things and holy shit was it way more strict and just gave me (importantly the wrong) phone number to a hotline
  • Varine Varine:
    TH, I gotta say, though, I'm amazed you keep this up. I feel like there are you and Ghan doing whatever you're doing, Tom posting news, and then me using the chatbox as a journal every once in a while.

  • Varine Varine:
    Thanks for letting me do that, also. I know I'm not using it correctly, but somewhere along the line I went from arguing with Cheshire to using this as a kind of void for my frustrations and hopes. I like to think of the whole thing as an enigma of sorts
  • Varine Varine:
    It's not, you guys could probably blackmail me if you went back far enough. I doubt anyone would, you've always been very kind, and I'm glad to have been a part of all this! I hope you enjoy me too, cuz I'm going to keep doing it.

  • Varine Varine:
    In my defense I was high for a lot of that though
  • V-SNES V-SNES:
    Thanks for sharing @Varine
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Brother how long we been here together? You guys are some of my best friends and I have never even met any of you. I dont know what I would if I did not have my Varine rant to look at when I get on. How could I possibly ever shut this site down? We have been here in this little chat box through a lot of shit for a long time. I love you guys!

    I missed out on a lot of chat messages. But yeah, we're planning for my mom's funeral back in Taiwan. I'm really glad I work remotely, so I can try to leverage that and go to places outside of US while still working in US.

  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    If it wasn't for my mom, I wouldn't be able to work in the US. Let alone being able to work until our office closed, and I became a full-time remote employee.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Really important though, get your wills and last testaments ready. We avoided like 2 to 3 months of waiting for probate court to get back to us.

    V-SNES I got good news I got your stuff packed for shipping and just need to get to the post office to get shipping cost!

  • jonas jonas:
    Oh man Cheshire, I often wonder what happened to her and most of the other people who used to be here
  • V-SNES V-SNES:
    @The Helper that's great! Looking forward to getting them!
