Say whatever you want, but try to talk about stuff rather than just being a complete and utter goof. Keep in mind that while this thread has no official topic and there is no character minimum here

No but seriously I'm very broke. My balance hit 0 awhile ago, so the bank charged me $4 for having zero. Then, when I couldn't get it back up in time, they charged me another $39. That means I now have to pay 40 dollars I don't have so I can have no money again. That's broke.

Hope you can fix your financial troubles, but I am grossly inexperienced in that type of thing.

Sorry, I have to take care of myself before I dare take care of others, and that also includes financial anything and, hey, the site's unbroken.

Indeed, the site is unbroken.

And I thought it was an update at first.

A very poor one.

@Sir Punicpunch quick question: can you understand these icons?

capture_icons_6.thumb.PNG.9122e2e2d41b81fcf69247492c6acb5e.PNG

Also, Rrr, why am I too stubborn to learn a different language, and no, I don't mean Spanish or whatever, I mean Kotlin or Java or C#.

More or less, yeah I can.

I tried learning a programming language. Got bored of it since I wouldn't know what to do with it.

If I tried teaching someone the basics of a programming language, I'd probably get something wrong. That said, I'm still learning and compare this... 

import java.util.Random

class Street(var streetName: String = "unnamed street") {

    // Function generates a random street name, such as Kelly Road
    // or a tautological street name such as Street Street (1% chance)
    fun generateStreetName() {
        // Titles of a street
        val sT = listOf(
                "Avenue",	"Circle",	"Court",	"Crescent",
                "Drive",	"Lane",		"Road",		"Street",
                "Trail",	"Way"
        )

        // Names of a street
        val sN = listOf(
                "Apache",		"Belmont",		"Cannon",		"Dodge",
                "Elm",			"Forest",		"Garden",		"Hilton",

        // Random number generator for determining whether a tautological name

Don't have much to say, everything is pretty chill right now.

Not much... Just messing with Blender and watching let's plays of Roller Coaster Tycoon.
