The Wayhaven Chronicles: Book 2 - Friendship Points Guide

A guide listing all (and only) choices that affect the friendship points with Unit Bravo in The Wayhaven Chronicles: Book 2 by Mishka Jenkins, @seraphinitegames. I didn’t include romance points as I think these options are pretty obvious. There is a separate guide for skills in Book 2, as well as another guide dealing with the fate of a certain character and the group this character belongs to.

Chapter 3 - Reuniting with Unit Bravo

Aren't you glad to be back with UB? All the paperwork must've been boring. If you choose the "paper airplanes" option here, you will get a different scene with F in your office in chapter 13. [[#"Very boring. Paperwork really isn't my thing."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"I'm happy to be working with you all again. It was nice working as a team."]] +1 Nate/Nat, +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Adam/Ava [[#"I don't know. Paperwork can have its own dangers: paper cuts, slip hazards, paper airplanes gone wrong."]] +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"My work is just as important as yours."]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#"I'm looking forward to learning more about the supernatural world!"]] +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Nate/Nat [[#"I'm actually hoping no situations arise…the supernatural doesn't make me feel at ease."]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#Chuckle and say, "Paperwork involves minimal effort—something that suits me well."]] +1 Mason/Morgan

Chapter 5 - Disease

After learning about the sickness affecting both humans and supernaturals, N asks for your thoughts on the matter. [[#"No matter how many details we have, we need to stop this from spreading."]] +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Nate/Nat [[#"I agree. We don't have enough information yet. We need to be careful."]] +1 Adam/Ava, +1 Nate/Nat [[#"Well, I mean, it's all kinda…ew."]] +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"I don't know. We'll just do what we're ordered to do and hope that works."]] +1 Adam/Ava, +1 Mason/Morgan Afterwards, N approaches you to see how you're feeling. [[#"I want to protect the people in town, but how to do that from…this?"]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"I want to make sure everyone is safe: humans, supernaturals, everyone. But how?"]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"No. I know we can figure this out."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"Yes. Fighting a vampire is one thing, but this is something else entirely…."]] +1 Nate/Nat

Chapter 6 - Gathering in the Office

Once again, M is smoking. Do you allow it? [[#Smile and say, "Can you put that out, please?"]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"I'll get the extinguisher if you don't put that out."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"Those things will kill you, you know. Well, they'll kill me, anyway."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Ignore M.]] +1 Mason/Morgan Do you offer Unit Bravo to call you by your first name or a nickname? [[#Interrupt with, "You know, you guys can call me by my name."]] +1 Nate/Nat, +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Mason/Morgan, +1 Adam/Ava [[#Interrupt with, "You guys can use my nickname, if you want."]] +1 Nate/Nat, +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Mason/Morgan, +1 Adam/Ava [[#Let F continue.]] +1 Adam/Ava

Chapter 7 - Undercover

Unit Bravo brings their surveillance equipment over to your apartment. F thinks they should've used your car to carry the stuff over, to which M charmingly describes your car as a "beat-up tin can". [[#"Well yeah, fair. That is a lot of boxes and my car's on the smaller side."]] +1 Adam/Ava (must be RO or friendpoints at least 5) [[#Chuckle and say, "Offence completely taken."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Smile and say, "Next time you need a driver, I'll remember you said that."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Grin. "If you need a bigger car, then maybe you're just overcompensating."]] +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Grin. "At least it can run at full power in the day. "]] +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Mason/Morgan (must be RO or friendpoints at least 5) [[#Shrug and say, "None taken.]]", +1 Mason/Morgan

Chapter 9 - Carnival Aftermath

A and N argue which type of training you should receive. M intervenes to let you choose. [[#Focus on supernatural combat this time.]] +1 Adam/Ava, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Focus on supernatural research this time.]] +1 Nate/Nat, +1 Felix/Farah The next scene is a friendship scene. This is how to determine which friendship scene you will get RO: Adam/Ava (or chose A on the carnival in the LT) Friend: Mason/Morgan (at least 7 friendpoints), else Felix/Farah RO: Nate/Nat (or chose N on the carnival in the LT) Friend: Mason/Morgan (at least 7 friendpoints), else Felix/Farah RO: Felix/Farah Friend: Mason/Morgan (at least 7 friendpoints), else Nate/Nat RO: Mason/Morgan Friend: Nate/Nat (at least 6 friendpoints), else Felix/Farah RO: None Friend: Mason/Morgan (at least 7 friendpoints), else Nate/Nat Mason/Morgan Friendship Scene [[#Smile warmly. "Thank you, M. I appreciate it."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"And maybe you're not so bad yourself. You know, for a vampire."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Shrug. "I'm not exactly after your approval."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Wink. "You might want to be careful. Your soft side is showing."]] +1 Mason/Morgan Felix/Farah Friendship Scene [[#Smile genuinely. "You're my friends. Of course you would be."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Smile. "Ah, I see my plan to infiltrate this team is working."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Chuckle. "Ah, stop. You'll make me feel all mushy."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Hug F. "Thank you. That really means a lot."]] +1 Felix/Farah Nate/Nat Friendship Scene [[#Smile. "Of course I did. It's what you do for friends."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"When on a mission, anyone I'm with would receive the same treatment."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#Chuckle. "Well, I am one of you now, aren't I?"]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#Shrug. "I didn't do it for your appreciation."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#Nod in respect.]] +1 Nate/Nat

Chapter 11 - Training

The scenes will be slightly different depending on which training you chose (Combat vs Research) and who your RO is. == Research == RO: Adam/Ava or Nate/Nat or Love Triangle M and F are your companions, but F is horribly bored. [[#Smile. "Actually, I'm really enjoying myself."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"I'm with M on this. It's not thrilling, but it's necessary."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"I thought I was the only one bored out of their mind!"]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Chuckle. "Maybe some picture books would amuse you better."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Slam my book shut. "If I read another book, my brain will melt."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"The more you complain, the slower this will go."]] +1 Mason/Morgan When they want to leave to find M's computer, A enters the library. Do you play along? [[#Smile. "I'm happy to stay here and go through the books."]] +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Roll my eyes in defeat. "Yes, that's exactly what was happening."]] +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Chuckle and whisper, "You owe me one."]] +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Mason/Morgan RO: Felix/Farah or Mason/Morgan or no RO Your study companions are N and A, both looking very much relaxed and at ease. [[#Smile. "No. Just thinking you both look very settled doing this."]] +1 Nate/Nat, +1 Adam/Ava [[#Chuckle. "No. I just didn't think you knew how to relax."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#Shrug. "Not wrong, just odd."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"Sorry. I didn't mean to stare."]] +1 Adam/Ava You really don't want to describe N and A as "old-fashioned" but you did start the sentence. How do you save yourself? [[#"Just a lot more…traditional."]] +1 Adam/Ava, +1 Nate/Nat [[#"Well, old."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"My type of people."]] +1 Adam/Ava, +1 Nate/Nat [[#"Calm and collected."]] +1 Adam/Ava, +1 Nate/Nat [[#"Experienced."]] +1 Adam/Ava, +1 Nate/Nat == Combat == RO: Adam/Ava or Nate/Nat or Love Triangle or no RO M and F are your training partners, though M does most of the work and isn't holding back. F is no help either with their comments. [[#"Maybe some encouragement would help more than criticism?"]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"You're not exactly helping."]] +1 Mason/Morgan (Felix/Farah >=7) #"I thought we were supposed to be friends.", +1 Felix/Farah [[#"Thanks for that…I couldn't tell how awful I was doing without your input."]] +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"You want to try against M?"]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Ignore F and focus on the sparring.]] +1 Mason/Morgan You need a moment to catch your breath. [[#"Can you please just give me a minute?"]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"You're just a very angry person, aren't you?"]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"Other supernaturals aren't supposed to be teaching rather than pummelling me."]] +1 Mason/Morgan, +1 Felix/Farah [[#"Ease up. I am breakable, unlike you, remember?"]] +1 Mason/Morgan, +1 Felix/Farah [[#"You're right. Sorry."]] +1 Mason/Morgan RO: Felix/Farah or Mason/Morgan A and N are your arguing training partners. Again they can't decide what they should teach you. [[#"Maybe you could teach me a bit of both."]] +1 Nate/Nat, +1 Adam/Ava [[#"None of this is going to matter if you don't teach me anything at all."]] +1 Nate/Nat, +1 Adam/Ava [[#"Please don't argue. You're friends. You shouldn't fight."]] +1 Adam/Ava, +1 Nate/Nat [[#"If I have to listen to this again, my brain is going to start melting."]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#"How about I decide?"]] +1 Nate/Nat Their approaches to almost everything are opposites, yet they are very close friends. [[#"How is it you're such good friends when you're so different?"]] +1 Adam/Ava, +1 Nate/Nat [[#"So, who would win in a fight between you two?"]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#"Do you spar together often?"]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#Never mind. Let's get back to training.]] +1 Adam/Ava

Chapter 12 - Diplomacy

You head out with M to officially approach the maa-alused. M flicks their fingers against a wind chime. [[#"Bored?"]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"You feeling as uneasy about this as me?"]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"Enjoying yourself there?"]] +1 Mason/Morgan A little time later, Sanja leads you to meet Falk. How do you open the conversation? [[#"I'm here on behalf of the Agency only."]] +1 mapeace, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"Interesting decor you have here. Love how you turned the leaky walls into a feature."]] +1 sanja, +1 mahostile, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"We both know why we're here. Shall we just get down to it?"]] +1 falk, +1 matreaty, +1 Mason/Morgan If you don't romance Mason/Morgan, you will get a free, +1 friendpoint with them once you're done with Falk.

Chapter 13 - F visits the station

F is sent to the station to keep an eye on your safety. Is that all right with you? [[#Smile. "Sure. It'll be nice to have company."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"I don't mind, but I still need to actually work."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Chuckle. "As long as you're prepared to be as bored as I am."]] +1 Felix/Farah F is trying to help you out, but causes a pile of paper to cover the floor. [[#Help F.]] +1 Felix/Farah If you mentioned paper airplanes to F earlier in the game, they will now ask you to show you how to make them. [[#Smile. "Sure."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Grin back. "You're on!"]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"I really have to get back to work, sorry."]] +1 Felix/Farah If you did not mention paper airplanes earlier, F will offer to help with your work. [[#Smile. "Sure. Thank you."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Grin. "All right. If you're up to it."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Chuckle. "You did do a fine job on sharpening all of the pencils."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"I really should do this by myself, sorry."]] +1 Felix/Farah

Chapter 14 - Warehouse Attack

If Nate/Nat is your RO, F and M will make some 'not at all appropriate' comments. [[#Drop my gaze and try to hide my utter embarrassment.]]+1 Felix/Farah, +1 Adam/Ava [[#Smirk. "I hope it's not."]]+1 Felix/Farah, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Smile. "Now I'm getting an idea of how you actually amuse yourselves."]] +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Shake my head and let out a sigh.]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#Try to ignore the conversation.]] +1 Adam/Ava If Adam/Ava is your RO, F will remark that you should come over often as you're making a certain someone very, very happy. [[#"I…no, I doubt that." Shake my head.]]+1 Felix/Farah [[#Smirk. "If only A'd let me make them really happy."]]+1 Felix/Farah, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Chuckle. "I'm starting to wonder if A even knows how to be happy."]] +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Nate/Nat [[#Meet A's gaze, frown, and look away.]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#Ignore F's comment.]] +1 Mason/Morgan If Felix/Farah is your RO, M will comment on how thin the walls are in case of any... bedroom action. [[#Try to hide my embarrassment.]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#Smirk too. "No need to get so jealous."]] +1 Nate/Nat, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Chuckle. "Well, this conversation got awkward quickly."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Shake my head and let out a long sigh.]] +1 Nate/Nat, +1 Adam/Ava [[#Try to ignore M's comment.]] +1 Adam/Ava If Mason/Morgan is your RO, N will state you should come over more often and that they'd find something for you to do, to which M will reply that you could do them. [[#Try to chuckle despite my embarrassment, though the sound strangles in my dry throat.]]+1 Nate/Nat [[#"Don't worry. I'm very keen on the idea." Wink at M.]]+1 Felix/Farah [[#Chuckle. "I'm really not surprised by anything M says any more."]] +1 Nate/Nat, +1 Felix/Farah [[#Shake my head and sigh.]] +1 Nate/Nat, +1 Adam/Ava [[#Try to ignore the conversation.]] +1 Adam/Ava There is no scene to get friendship points if you're on the love triangle or have no RO.

Chapter 15 - Unit Alpha

After seeing the damage dealt to the carnival and learning what happened to Sanja, you can choose to walk with someone back to your car or go alone., +1 Friendship point with the person you choose to walk with. If you are romancing Nate/Nat (single or LT), then you can choose between F and M. If you are romancing Mason/Morgan, you get to choose between N and F. If you are romancing Felix/Farah, you get to choose between M and N. If you are romancing Adam/Ava or do not have an RO, you can choose between F, M, and N. Walking back with F: You aren't thinking about giving up, are you? [[#Smile. "No, of course not. I'm with you guys to the end."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Wink. "You think scary humans and rogue supernaturals are gonna shake me?"]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Chuckle. "Guess it's lucky I'm not your run-of-the-mill human."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"I didn't expect working for the Agency to be easy."]] +1 Felix/Farah Walking back with M: Trappers won't just let go of their payday. [[#Smile. "I doubt we'll have a problem if we work together."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Wink. "Lucky I'm not so easy to take down either."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Chuckle. "You obviously haven't met some of the people who come into the station."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#"I'll do what I have to. It's my job."]] +1 Mason/Morgan Walking back with N: How are you feeling about the maa-alused after what's happened? [[#"I'm worried about them. They've not only been attacked but lost their home."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"It's worth trying to make things right with them."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"We have the ability to help them, so we should. My opinion doesn't matter."]] +1 Nate/Nat [[#"I'm not sure we know enough about them to tell yet."]] +1 Nate/Nat Later on, A approaches you, having heard your call with Tina/Verda. Keeping secrets isn't so easy, is it? [[#Frown. "No. And it's getting harder every day."]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#Sigh. "It's part of the job. I knew that when I took it."]] +1 Adam/Ava (if Verda/Tina are not encouraged in their pursuit of truth) [[#Nod. "It's safer for them not to know." ]]+1 Adam/Ava [[#Sag. "I thought it would be easier than this."]] +1 Adam/Ava

Chapter 16 - Sewers

After finding the Trappers, a fight ensues. If you have an RO, you will have to decide whether to save them or Sanja. If Adam/Ava is your RO (single or LT) [[#Rescue Adam/Ava.]] +1 Felix/Farah, +1 Nate/Nat [[#Rescue Sanja.]] +1 Mason/Morgan No matter what you choose to do, you get the opportunity to gain a friendship point with F. These are the options available if you go and save A: [[#Smile and return the high five.]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"Next time, I get to be the blades | you be the blades." Return the high five. (actual wording depending on MC's height)]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Chuckle and return the high five. "We make a pretty good team."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"Nice. I didn't actually expect that to work."

Return the high five.]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Chuckle and return the high five. "Who knew we'd be so efficient?"]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"Nice. I didn't actually think we could pull that off." Return the high five.]] +1 Felix/Farah If Felix/Farah is your RO [[#Rescue Felix/Farah.]] +1 Mason/Morgan, +1 Nate/Nat [[#Rescue Sanja.]] +1 Adam/Ava No matter the choice, you get the chance to gain another friendship point with A. [[#Smile and nod back.]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#"Nicely done." Return the nod.]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#Give a simple nod in return.]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#Chuckle. "We make quite the team."]] +1 Adam/Ava If Mason/Morgan is your RO [[#Rescue Mason/Morgan.]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Rescue Sanja.]] +1 Nate/Nat, +1 Adam/Ava Afterwards, you get to gain another friendship point with N.

"I'll know to call you next time I need a sidekick again."]] +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Nod. "We did good. We should team up more often."]] +1 Mason/Morgan If you save Sanja: [[#Nudge M.

Chapter 17 - Trappers Aftermath

You and the team revisit the carnival, which is now built up again and shows no signs of ever burning. A is noticing you're staring at them. [[#"I was thinking how this has turned so complicated. From simple carnival to this."]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#"Are you worried about how this will all turn out?"]] +1 Adam/Ava A then asks you if you're prepared for what's coming next. [[#"It's been a challenge, but luckily I like challenges."]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#"I…I suppose I have no choice but to try to be."]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#"Of course. I'm prepared for whatever lies ahead."]] +1 Adam/Ava

Chapter 18 - The Fate of the Maa-alused

If you managed to convince Falk to sign the treaty with the Agency, the team will be thanking you for your good work. [[#Smile. "I just wanted to help make sure this ended in the best way."]] +1 Adam/Ava, +1 Nate/Nat [[#Wink. "I'm more than open to accepting that praise now."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"I'm not the only one on this team. We all had a hand in this."]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#"Does that mean I'll get a raise? Or maybe one of those fancy SUVs?"]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"We're in this together. Successes or failures."]] +1 Mason/Morgan, +1 Nate/Nat [[#"I did my job, that's all."]] +1 Mason/Morgan If you instead manage to broker peace between Falk and the Agency, the team will still thank you for your work. [[#Smile. "I just wanted to help make sure this ended in a peaceful way."]] +1 Adam/Ava, +1 Nate/Nat [[#Wink. "Just call me the peacemaker."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"I'm not the only one on this team. We all had a hand in this."]] +1 Adam/Ava [[#"I could have done better. I could have had them actually sign."]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#"We're in this together. Successes or failures."]] +1 Mason/Morgan, +1 Nate/Nat [[#"I did my job, that's all."]] +1 Mason/Morgan However, if Falk and his group end up being hostile towards the Agency, he threatens Rebecca.

[[#Move to make a defensive barrier in front of Rebecca.]] +1 Adam/Ava, +1 Mason/Morgan [[#Let her handle it herself.]] +1 Felix/Farah [[#Step towards them and try to cool off the situation.]] +1 Nate/Nat That's all the friendship points you can get in Wayhaven Chronicles: Book 2!

Nagi Rokuya [MEMO MELO] RabbitChat

Part 1-5

Part 1: Diamond Disc

Tsumugi: Nagi-san, good work.

I have something I want to tell you today, Nagi-san!

Nagi: Good work, Tsumugi.

A confession of love is always welcome ;-)

Tsumugi: Unfortunately that’s not it ><

Nagi: Unfortunately not ;-(((

Tsumugi: Um, does Nagi-san know about the award called Diamond Disc?

Nagi: When we were aiming for JIMA before, Mitsuki told me about it.

One of the 4 awards included in JIMA is the Diamond Disc, isn't it?

Tsumugi: That's right!

Tsumugi: In Diamond Disc, the grand prize is the Diamond Award, the Ruby Award is given to top female idols, the Sapphire Award is given to top male idols, the Emerald Award is for the best song, and the Amethyst Award is given to newcomers,,

Tsumugi: Why, this time, the selection committee has contacted us to tell us that IDOLiSH7 won the Sapphire Award!

Tsumugi: Amazing!! X-D

We're the top male idols? Wonderful

Nagi: So that means the grand prize going to Re:vale or TRIGGER?

Tsumugi: Re:vale is being inducted into the Diamond Disc hall of fame.

Therefore, TRIGGER is probably winning the grand prize.

Nagi: Hm, I see.

It's not that I don't feel frustrated, but let's celebrate this wonderful day with the wonderful members, Tsumugi.

Nagi: IDOLiSH7 is a wonderful group. I can boast about it with pride.

However, a lot of the members are modest. I think it'd be good if receiving this award made the members more confident.

Nagi: You're right, Nagi-san....

We were only able to win this award because of the support of our fans. Since Diamond Disc is an impartial award selected via various music media sales.

Tsumugi: By the way, Banri-san suspects that thanks to B or W, "MEMORiES MELODiES" became a bestseller.

It wasn’t easy to see, but it slowly kept growing and making sales.

Nagi: It's the song TRIGGER competed against us with.

Even now, there are people who newly discover it and like it. How wonderful.

Nagi: I'm glad I entrusted Haruki's songs to you.

With IDOLiSH7’s singing blowing new life into them, Haruki's songs will be loved for a long time.

Part 2: Celebration

Nagi: Hello, Tsumugi

Nagi: I’m grateful to be able to spend this wonderful day with you, and the members.

I want to convey these feelings to you in an essay.

Nagi: For Tsumugi, did today become an unforgettable day?

Tsumugi: Nagi-san, good work.

I also wanted to convey my feelings of gratitude to you, Nagi-san.

Tsumugi: Thank you for inviting me to the Sapphire Award celebration today.

I was really happy I got to see the moment of the Diamond Disc web announcement with everyone!

Nagi: Of course TRIGGER won the grand prize, but having a place to aim for is good.

Because it means we can still aim higher.

Nagi: I was also able to demonstrate my splendid F5 key mashing.

Tsumugi: That was the best part…! You can press it so fast.

I thought the PC would break! lol

Nagi: ☆⌒(*^-°)v Thanks!!

Nagi: I train every day for Kokona's sake.

This middle finger has survived many battles.

Tsumugi: I-it must’ve felt godly..

Nagi: Hee hee hee. Someday I’ll teach you my skills, Tsumugi.

Nagi: How was the melon modeled after Kokona’s face?

Tsumugi: I kind of felt bad about eating it, but it was delicious ><

The handiwork was quite splendid…!

Nagi: Unfortunately, I am better at tasting than cooking, so this time I challenged myself at melon carving.

Option 1

Tsumugi: Your one-and-only tamagoyaki was delicious, Nagi-san! (1)

Nagi: Mitsuki taught me that love is the best seasoning.

I’m not very good at making sweet tamagoyaki, so Iori advised me to add mentsuyu. It doesn’t look good, but did you feel my love? (2)

Option 2

Tsumugi: The moment of the announcement was exciting!

Nagi: Yes. Why are tears of joy so beautiful?

Your beauty stood out even more, Tsumugi. Also Mitsuki became cuter.

Option 3

Tsumugi: Did anything memorable happen at the celebration?

Nagi: Soy sauce on pudding tastes like sea urchin.

Certainly, it tasted like the sea urchin I know. What hidden magic….

Nagi: Tsumugi, please look.

Now we are at an after party X-D

Tsumugi: The others told me. It’s a teens’ party!

Nagi: YES. I’m currently playing video games with Iori and Tamaki.

Right now I am very rich and I have 3 children. Tamaki is single and his investments are in the red. Iori bought a house, works hard to save up money, has a wife and kids, and lives a good life.

Tsumugi: It sounds very fun. Tell me who wins first place! lol

Is Riku-san asleep?

Nagi: Yes, at first he leaned on Iori’s shoulder and slept, but since Iori was unable to move, I lent him my bed.

Nagi: Riku was sleeping, but we were having fun, so I’m a bit sorry for him ;-(((

Nagi: You are kind, Nagi-san.

Riku-san went to sleep, so you also shouldn’t stay up too late or you won't make an impression tomorrow!

Nagi: Understood, Tsumugi.

Iori is actually playing with us, so as soon as this game ends, we’ll bring this party to an end X-)

Tsumugi: Yes!

I thought Iori-san wasn’t the type to play games very often, but he plays games together a lot recently! How pleasant that you get along.

Nagi: Iori is a quick learner, so he’ll quickly master something you teach him once. He played as my character, a panda, in a fighting game. I played as a character I’m not good at so I was utterly beaten orz

Tsumugi: As expected of Iori-san…. You also did your best not to lose, Nagi-san! p(`• ω •´)q

Nagi: OH! What a wonderful emoticon. It captures your cuteness, Tsumugi.

Nagi: Shit! Tsumugi, sorry but I will contact you again later

Tsumugi: W-what happened?!

Nagi: Tamaki’s revolution has begun. He became an oil tycoon and immediately shot to 1st place

Tsumugi: Luck is now on Tamaki-san’s side…! Have fun with the game!

Nagi: p(`• ω •´)q

Part 3: Nagi's Final Act

Tsumugi: Nagi-san, good work with the magazine interview and photo shoot today!

It was a joint feature with TRIGGER. How was it?

Nagi: Good work, Tsumugi.

Even with everyone in TRIGGER here, it’s curious how they can coexist with us without clashing with our visuals.

I think the balance was well-kept.

Nagi: Yaotome-shi’s clear skin seems especially suitable for cosplay.

Tsumugi: It’s a project called “Idols Who Shine Like Gemstones ~Diamond Disc Feature~”, and just as the name suggests, everyone shined like gemstones!

Nagi: It was a conversation between those who won the Diamond Award and Sapphire Award.

Nagi: We were sapphires, but could we shine brighter than diamonds?

Tsumugi: Of course. IDOLiSH7’s sapphire is more radiant than any gemstone!

Nagi: Yay―(ﾟ∀ﾟ)―(∀ﾟ　)―(ﾟ　　)―(　　)―(　　)―(　　ﾟ)―(ﾟ∀)―(ﾟ∀ﾟ)―!!

Tsumugi: Yay! lol

Nagi: TRIGGER treated us as usual without being haughty, so everyone had fun.

Nagi: The pictures from the photo shoot convey the good atmosphere.

Since photos show not only a person’s appearance, but also the atmosphere at the time.

Tsumugi: Exactly. No matter what grand prize they win, TRIGGER is always looking onward without resting on their laurels. I felt it keenly even in this interview.

We must follow their example!

Nagi: Yes. They also readily accepted the interviewers’ request to take pictures beyond the boundaries of our groups.

Option 1

Tsumugi: The photo shoot of the unit who sang “Fure Fure! Seishun Sanka” was wonderful!

Nagi: If I were to give it a theme, I’d call it “little birds chirping”.

When that seemingly adorable trio gathers together, their quarreling never stops. It was a scene as though little birds were waiting for their mother’s food, so I named it as such.

Option 2

Tsumugi: The photo shoot of the unit who sang “LOVE&GAME” was wonderful!

Nagi: If I were to give it a theme, I’d call it “a big sale of gaps”.

The difference between their public image and private image is so extreme, it’s perplexing. I think it’d be good if they toned it down a little.

Option 3

Tsumugi: The photo shoot of the unit who sang “Danshi Tarumono!” was wonderful!

Nagi: If I were to give it a theme, I’d call it “a clash of personalities”.

However, I think at the end of the battle, we joined forces and successfully finished. Yesterday’s enemies are today’s friends.

Nagi: Also, today I did my best so that we won’t get a cold reception.

Because I don’t want to see Sougo commit harakiri….

Tsumugi: Was that so?! Since Sougo-san is someone who cares about manners.

But Nagi-san, regardless I thought he liked TRIGGER… ><

Nagi: I acknowledge them as comrades-in-arms.

However, that doesn’t mean I love them.

Tsumugi: It’s the difference between LIKE and LOVE, isn’t it ><

Nagi: Well said.

Nagi: My heart is as troublesome as a girl’s “anything is fine” ;-P

Tsumugi: Oof..

Tsumugi: So you’re comparing those who say anything is fine even if it’s not, and those who would say if they hate something and reject plans….

Nagi: That stubbornness is one of women’s charming points though.

Then, if you say men are troublesome too so they can let go, it’s no small ability.

Nagi: Because women are told to be willful for their own good.

Tsumugi: As expected of Nagi-san, your persuasiveness is amazing…..

Nagi: So Tsumugi, please say selfish things towards me too. I am waiting.

Part 4: Waiting for the Award Ceremony

Nagi: Good work today, Tsumugi.

Tomorrow is finally the awards ceremony. Are you nervous?

Tsumugi: Nagi, good work!

Tsumugi: Thank you for contacting me.

I'm not nervous...is what I want to say, but I still feel nervous. I was just RabbitChatting with everyone.

Tsumugi: The leading role is yours, so it's pointless for even me to be nervous!

I'm thinking of watching your MVs to calm down.

Nagi: What are you saying? You have a leading role too, Tsumugi.

We're here today because you've always supported us. I'm really grateful.

Tsumugi: Nagi-san....

Nagi: You also should warm your body before you go to bed.

Try drinking the black tea I made. I chose tea leaves that suit you, Tsumugi.

Tsumugi: Nagi-san's selection?! It's wonderful, I look forward to it.

Nagi: I cannot cook, but I'm good at selecting black tea. It's similar to being good at tasting :-))))

Tsumugi: Today, you had a tea party with Sougo-san!

Nagi: Yes. For some reason everyone was restless like boys before a confession.

Tsumugi: Does that not make you very nervous, Nagi-san?

Because I've never seen such a disconcerting situation...!

Nagi: We have overcome many trials thus far.

Thinking about on them gives me courage.

Tsumugi: On the night we danced at Zero Arena, you calmed me down, Nagi-san....

Tsumugi: Somehow courage also welled up in me.

Besides, even though tomorrow will be a joyous day, there's no point being nervous!

Nagi: That's right, Tsumugi.

Please think back to before we were IDOLiSH7, on the day of the audition.

Nagi: On that day our story began.

Now tomorrow, we will receive a glorious award. It's exciting. There's no need to be nervous X-D

Tsumugi: The day the legend began!

Option 1

Tsumugi: What feelings did you struggle with at the audition?

Nagi: 7 people were gathered by the president whom I entrusted Haruki's songs to.

I thought I would pass, but I really hoped that we could all be chosen without losing anyone.

Option 2

Tsumugi: Did you make any memories at the audition?

Nagi: Tsumugi, I met you.

I thought it was the first time I met a sweet and pure woman with an honest upbringing.

Option 3

Tsumugi: Did any members make an impression at the audition?

Nagi: Isn't it Yamato?

Even though he was aiming to be an idol, at that time I saw in Yamato's eyes that he was thinking of giving up. However, when I saw him resisting it, I couldn't take my eyes off him.

Nagi: Do you have any regrets about becoming our manager?

Tsumugi: Not even once!

On the contrary, I'm grateful I became your manager.

Nagi: Gold star! X-D (3)

We’re invincible. Tomorrow I'll stand at the podium with you in my heart, Tsumugi.

Tsumugi: Thank you, Nagi-san...!

Tomorrow from offstage, I want to see the backs of everyone who grew.

Nagi: It’s said that a man speaks with his back after all.

If you look at my back, I shall convey my love for you.

Tsumugi: H-how? >< lol

Nagi: I'll stick a large piece of paper on my back that says "Tsumugi, I love you".

Tsumugi: P-please stop?!

Nagi:

Tsumugi:

Part 5: The Future in Our Hands

Tsumugi: Nagi-san, good work at the awards ceremony!

Tomorrow is the dinner party with Re:vale and TRIGGER, so please rest easily today.

Nagi: It was a good ceremony.

I’m honored to be able to spend this day together with everyone.

Nagi: The other day I said TRIGGER were like comrades-in-arms, but after we called for each other’s names and applauded, it became a very warm ceremony.

Re:vale were also there as guests, I did not think I would feel so genuinely happy for our senpais to accept an award.

Tsumugi: Even though it was such a big ceremony, all the participants received applause, it was touching.

Tsumugi: Re:vale really are wonderful senpais who think about their kouhais.

We ought to follow their example… ><

Nagi: Indeed.

Mitsuki and Riku were also crying. I think such honest hearts are their charm.

Nagi: However, Tamaki and Mitsuki noticed me and Sougo were not crying, so they tickled us.

I was saving my tears for the final episode of Kokona though <:-(

Tsumugi: You only express your joy with a smile, Nagi-san!

I’m shuddering at the thought that Kokona-chan’s last episode might come.

Nagi: If Kokona ends, that might also mark the end of my anime-loving life.

I will disappear with my hard disk where I saved recordings of Kokona.

Tsumugi: Then I will search for you?!

If you are not here, Nagi-san, IDOLiSH7 isn’t IDOLiSH7……

Nagi: Thank you, Tsumugi. For needing me.

Nagi: Yamato also seems to have recognized us as friends.

Tsumugi: Nagi-san thinks so too…!

Everyone unanimously agreed, Yamato-san’s speech was moving.

Tsumugi: It was the first time he included himself in saying he felt “happy”.

Nagi: He said, he was happy the 7 of us have come this far.

An important number for us is “7”.

Tsumugi: Because it’s IDOLiSH“7”!

Option 1

Tsumugi: I’m really glad you’re here, Nagi-san.

Nagi: Saying something like out of a romance drama, my love for you will not stop, Tsumugi.

Without you, Tsumugi, we would be alone. Thank you.

Option 2

Tsumugi: Please continue to stay with us like sunshine, Nagi-san.

Nagi: I did not think you would say I was like sunshine.

If you were not like Mother Earth, Tsumugi, I would not be useful as sunshine. Please support us always.

Option 3

Tsumugi: What is IDOLiSH7 to you, Nagi-san?

Nagi: I’ll always think of them as family. A family with 7 people. Isn’t it a big family?! The variety in a big family is also surprising.

Nagi: I’m really happy and fulfilled that I somehow got to talk a lot about love with you lately, Tsumugi.

Nagi: Let’s talk a lot about love at the dinner party with the 3 groups tomorrow.

Tsumugi: I am overseeing the tables, so we cannot talk together ><! lol

Nagi: Why is this world so cruel….

Tsumugi: Earlier you said you were happy though >< lol

Tsumugi: It looks like karaoke was also planned after the dinner party.

Let’s sing Kokona-chan songs together then!

Nagi: Amazing…. At that moment, will Kokona songs will be reborn as wedding songs?

Tsumugi: They’re not wedding songs >< lol

Tsumugi: Sougo-san said he wanted to sing “MEMORiES MELODiES”, which helped us win an award this time, with everyone.

Nagi: That is also wonderful. Tomorrow will surely be a wonderful day for us.

I want it to be like an anniversary or a holiday.

Tsumugi: Holiday…?!

Nagi: Is there no such custom here? In my family, the day a family member is born is a holiday.

Tsumugi: The mystery of Nagi-san is deepening more and more….

Tsumugi: Returning to the topic of “MEMORiES MELODiES”, I’m thinking of posting everyone’s reward acceptance comments about “MEMORiES MELODiES”, the song that helped us win this award, on the website.

Can you tell me your comment?

Nagi: Just like the lyrics say, “Even if we get hurt, we’ll keep walking,” no matter how many times we get hurt, with everyone’s support, and 7 people’s feelings, we can rise up again and again.

Nagi: I hope this song heals your heart whenever you hear it, and gives you the power to rise up. From Rokuya Nagi, with love.

3 reasons taxpayers don't report all their income

Michael Cohen (left) and Tom Arnold run into each other in New York City in June 2018. (Photo via Tom Arnold on Twitter)

Michael Cohen, Donald J. Trump's former attorney and previously self-described fixer, is heading to federal prison in a couple weeks.

But in a recent conversation with actor Tom Arnold, Cohen said he didn't commit all of the crimes for which he will do time. Specifically, according to the story on the telephone discussion that the Wall Street Journal broke, Cohen says he's not guilty of tax evasion, one of the charges for which he's going to jail.

According to Arnold and a tape of his conversation with Cohen, the former New York City lawyer pleaded guilty to the tax crime simply to protect his family, specifically his wife.

"I am not going to let her get dragged into the mud of this crap, and I never thought the judge was going to throw a three-year fricking sentence," says Cohen, who apparently did not know he was being recorded.

Earlier arguments against the tax charge: Even before his recent heart-to-heart with Arnold, Cohen's lawyer had argued during the sentencing that the tax cheating charges were a stretch.

Cohen had simply failed to identify all his income on bank records he gave his accountant, according to the lawyer's logic.

That obviously didn't sway the judge.

Family motives aside, Cohen will start serving his three-year sentence for tax evasion and other federal crimes on May 6.

Reasons for not reporting income: We can debate Cohen's latest characterization of his legal predicament, his motives for cutting a deal with the feds and whether he deserve his court-ordered fate ad infinitum.

But what is cut-and-dried is that failure to report some or all of your income to the Internal Revenue Service also is one common way that many taxpayers cheat on their taxes every year.

Generally, failure to report some or all taxable income — which, for the most part is basically is every cent you get — falls into three categories.

1. Sometimes the non- or under-reporting of earnings is inadvertent and totally innocent. You did that one job way back at the beginning of the tax year and got a couple of hundred dollars. That was so long ago. And since you didn't get a 1099 — you must earn $600 or more before the payer is required to issue the official earnings statement — you simply forgot about it.

2. Sometimes it's ignorance or misunderstanding of the tax law. You thought that if you didn't get a form that's copied to the IRS, the money isn't taxable. Sorry. That's wrong. Even without a 1099-MISC or similar income document, tax law requires you to report all your income. It doesn't matter how small the payment is.

It doesn't matter whether the payment is cash or property. Bartered earnings still are taxable earnings. You're supposed to count the fair market value of the exchange of property and services. For example, you did some plumbing repairs for your neighbor and got his old scooter as payment. That vehicle value is the taxable payment amount for your work.

Yes, restaurant servers, that includes all your tips, including the basketball tickets one customer left you instead of cash. Technically, you're supposed to be telling your boss about your gratuities every month if you get more than $20. (More on that over in the ol' blog's Time for Tax Tasks item in the righthand column that shows up around the 10th of each month.)

It also doesn't even matter if you illegally obtained the income. The IRS doesn't care about the source. It just wants its cut of what you earned in any form or fashion. See Al Capone and his other convicted tax crime buddies.

And yes, taxable income includes gambling proceeds, again regardless of whether your winning wagers are done through legal sportsbooks or under the table with your friend's cousin's neighborhood bookie.

3. Finally, sometimes folks just flat-out cheat on their taxes. They know they are supposed to report the income, but decide not to for a variety of reasons.

It will push you into a higher tax bracket.

You don't want your spouse to know you pocketed some extra cash — or how you got it. See illegal earnings mentioned earlier. And husbands and wives, if you find yourself suspicious of something your partner does or doesn't put on your joint Form 1040, it might be time to consider filing separately.

Or you just hate paying taxes, period, so you're not going to give Uncle Sam his due on money he doesn't know about.

Hard to catch, but not impossible: I know what some of y'all are thinking. In many of these cases, it's going to be very difficult for the IRS to find out about the cash you're keeping secret.

True. The agency's budget limits and personnel attrition mean that it has to focus its tax evasion investigations on areas that tend to provide larger returns than it could get from closely examining every line of every 1040 from all of us average Joe and Jane Taxpayers.

But, and maybe I'm just too much of a worrier, I know that if I knowing hid earnings from the IRS, I'd be spending way too much of my time thinking about what could happen if (or when) my tax fudging was caught.

Your mileage may vary. I'm not here to judge you if you feel comfortable trying to slide one (or more) past the IRS.

I did, however, want to remind you of your full tax responsibilities.

If you now realize you overlooked some reportable, taxable income, you always can file an amended tax return to get right with Uncle Sam. And probably sleep a bit better every night.

yume-x-hanabi replied to your post: Okay, so I really will talk about this more when I...

That’s a really annoying trope >_< Tho some characters do need that “stop trying to push me away when it’s clear to both of us you don’t want to”, but it depends on the story’s context and how it’s written.

I mean, to be fair that’s kind of the deal here. It’s pretty obvious that Seven doesn’t want to push the MC away, in the sense that he very obviously has feelings that he’s been in denial about, and he’s aware of how he feels but also thinks that he can’t have it, and so he’s conflicted and is just doing what he thinks is best regardless of his feelings. He doesn’t want to be alone per se, he doesn’t want to push the MC away, obviously he has feelings for and wants to be with her---but he also thinks that doing so is wrong, and as such he’s pushing her away from him as best he can.

But even then, I don’t think it’s right to pressure him into it. I’m not saying these things can’t be discussed; as much as I am a firm believer in “you need consent to start / continue a relationship, but you do not need consent to end one,” I’m also a firm believer in “don’t just cut someone off cold except for in extreme circumstances; talk to them about why you’re ending the relationship.” Some of the worst relationship experiences in my life have been those where someone just cut me off with no warning, because I was never given closure, and so I’m left wondering if this was my fault somehow, if I did something wrong---if I could have maybe apologized had I known what I did. It’s why I always tell everyone that if they have a problem with me, or if I do something hurtful, please tell me so I can apologize and we can fix it (if possible). I can’t apologize for things I’m not aware of and I can’t fix problems if they’re not brought to me. And maybe some relationships are irreconcilable, maybe some problems can’t be fixed---but we absolutely can’t fix them if we don’t talk about them. So if you’re going to cut someone off or push them away, fine, but talk to them about it first. Give them the courtesy of a clean break.

So with that said, yeah, you can absolutely discuss things. If Character A says, “you can’t be with me because it’s dangerous” then Character B can say, “But what if I don’t care about the danger?” But at that point, if Character A insists that they care, that they are uncomfortable, that ending this relationship right now is best for them, then Character B needs to listen to, accept, and respect that. This isn’t to say that Character A will be sunshine and rainbows after the fact---they may very well miss and long for Character B, absolutely---but not every situation in life has such a strict dichotomy between a Good Choice and a Bad Choice. In fact, most choices come with both pros and cons. So yeah, Character A might still long for Character B after pushing them away, but if Character A has determined that it’s easier for them to live with (i.e. be comfortable with) missing Character B while Character B is safe somewhere else, versus having Character B there but constantly being stressed and guilt-ridden over putting Character B in danger, then Character A is still making the choice that is best for them in the circumstances, and that should be respected by Character B.

(I’ve seen some people argue, “but that’s Character A choosing how Character B lives their life!” and no, it’s not. Character B can still go do whatever they like, somewhere else. Again, no person is beholden to another person. Character A does not have to sacrifice their comfort in order to make Character B happy by being in a relationship, and this goes for platonic relationships as well as romantic ones. Character B does not get to coerce, force, or guilt trip Character A into a relationship because “but this will make me happiest”. Doing so is wrong. And again, even if Character A does want to be with Character B, if the stress / guilt of putting Character B in danger outweighs any potential happiness (sometimes to the point of smothering that happiness altogether), then they have every right to say “no”. They don’t need to be pressured with “but you want this too,” because yes, obviously they want it, but the cons outweigh the pros and so they’re not going for it. Respect that.)

Sorry if this sounds intense, but I just feel very strongly about this. Boundaries are super, mega important to me, and I hate seeing this trope played out time and again, not just in otome games, but also in various other media as well (anime, manga, literature, live action shows, et cetera) aimed at all genders. It’s infuriating.

Hello Reader,

At first - sorry for my bad english xD Since my native language is german it could happen that it turns out in some stupid denglish. (German x English)

But nevermind - What I am planing and who I am?

I am a 19 (nearly 20) year old austrian girl. Most ppl call me just Rune or Jules. Its up to you how you want to call me :3

Since three years I am cosplaying as a hobby - so they are not that professional but I am happy with it. I am in love with books, good TV shows (Hannibal <3) and wolves (I love to draw them on paper as well as digital x3 )

I don’t have school anymore and got totaly into my work life, so I decided to get my tumblr blogg more active.

What am I going to blogg?

Ill keep up my quote stuff - I just love them D: (books, shows)

Ill do many Fannibal things (screens, quotes, book pages)

Of course cosplay x3

My projects:

plans for 2017 Hannibal Lecter (Hannibal) Pietro Maximoff (Age of Ultron unsure if we are waiting for IW ;-;)

Already finished or in progress:

Chat Noir (Miracoulous Ladybug)

Hyuuga (07 Ghost)

Rune (My Fursona)

Demitri Vatler (Strike the blood)

Chloe (Life is Strange)

Middle Age - Fantasy Women

Maybe also some drawings and paintings - depents on if I like them or not xD or in which mood I am.

So I think ive told you everything I wanted to tell :D If anything is unsure or you didn’t understand my bad english don’t be shy and just ask what you want to know! I don’t bite as long as youre not rude! But remember the motto of the fannibals is: “Eat the rude!“

Off-line developing during an intercity trip in 2019

As you might imagine from the title, I am at the moment of writing this article sitting in a train from Berlin to Hamburg. For those of you who have never been in Germany...we do have WIFI on the trains here, but contrary to what you might expect it is really bad. (And if it is sometimes fast enough, you get only 200mb of traffic <= Thanks to mac address randomization that can be bypassed)

Wait, what? Bad WIFI on trains in the first world industry nation Germany? Yes, even during my travel on a train in Thailand I had way better WIFI than I ever experienced in the German trains. There are two main factors for that:

Bad mobile network overall...if you leave the bigger cities you most of the time do not even have Edge (yes kids, slower than 2G) or a mobile network connection at all. So sad!

Cheap hardware in the trains. Actually the modems in the trains are standard 3G modems you may also purchase as mobile hot-spot device. Sure they are a bit more powerful, but they are not made for this special use case: Connection to new base stations in at a high ratio. It actually is a quite hard technical challenge to have a modem do this on a high speed train. But we have 2019 ...thinking about sending people to mars...and as we can see in other countries this problem is apparently solved. Maybe some more money would be good invested here.

But enough ranting about the WIFI in here (that is BTW current non existent)

OK sorry one more thought: Looking around me I see a lot of people in nice suites working on there laptops. Imagine them earning 60€/hour and they need double the time for a task, because the WIFI is so weak. Assuming there are 100 (conservative calculation) of such people on a train. So during this single trip from Berlin to Hamburg (2h) there is 60€ * 100 * 2 = 12 000€ of wasted human capital....better not tell that any company paying their employees the train ride and the "work time" during this trip.

Actually this article is about tech

I experience this not the first time, but why am I triggered this time that much, that I decided to write a blog post about this topic? As web developer I am currently working on a live chat project (gramchat.me - please be kind, the landing page would be finished if I actually could work here) where I wanted to finish the landing page & documentation during this trip.

Now I experience myself sitting here and my laptop, normally the device paying my rent, is not more than a dump black box....close to every work flow I have does requires the Internet, I can't work off-line. grrrrr

How could that happen? Normally I am always at places with good WIFI or mobile network (Berlin Big City Life) and so some bad habits sneaked in:

Development work

Google fonts

Payment gateway that needs to be configured

Documentation (How could anyone write software before stackoverflow?)

Package tools for just in time downloading of dependencies

Github Issues and Board for organization

Backend infrastructure is build on AWS lambda (can't test that offline)

Entertainment

Movies are on netflix

Music is on spotify

I read mostly blog posts and web articles (via Hackero ;))

Communication

Telegram/WhatsApp/Email

Information

I am struggling to write this article as non-native speaker as I can't use Google translate

...and so on

Short interruption: Because of other issues I had to change to another (slower) train. This one does not have WIFI at all...so now next level shit.

I sit here and have basically three options what to do:

Compose electronic music with LMMS, what I downloaded a few weeks ago but have no clue how to use it :'D

Code something in Go. Thanks Goland for your awesome build in standard lib documentation!

Write this article ranting about the German train situation and about myself of being so depended on a resource I thought about as natural as air

So here I am writing the article :D

Prevent such a situation in the future

So the biggest fail, is me not being prepared for off-line usage of my devices. So what will I do to prevent this in the future? Technical problems need technical solutions:

Entertainment

Music: Have at least some of my favorite playlists available offline

Movies: Actually I see it not as a big problem not binch-watching for some hours => Keeps me focused on working

Get a off-line "read it later" system. A while ago I used wallabag and will reinstall it on all my devices.

Communication

You actually can not do much about it...so nothing to improve here

If you do not have an off-line usable email and messaging client you should get yourself one. (Telegram has a nice desktop standalone) It is nice to at least be able to search trough archived emails/chats

Information

Off-line dictionary it is

Is there a Firefox/Chrome Plugin that save all the web pages I visit to an off-line storage? So that I can go back in my history and access the pages I visited before...if not I might code one.

Development work

There are a lot different off-line code documentation systems. I did choose zeal as it works on Linux and is standalone (the other ones work in the browser and as I most of the time surf in private mode they would not work for me, as I wipe the local storage at least every few days)

Off-line PHP server => Was actually quite easy. Did you know PHP has a build-in server? php -S localhost:8080

AWS lambda offline testing framework? No clue how to this yet...maybe a good topic for another blogpost

There are actually some clients for github with offline issue support. I will give them a try

Cache/save web resources locally. Maybe a good idea overall..better not include Google as dependency in your project as they will abuse that data you send them with every visitor

There is an (sadly old) StackOverflow dump, that could end up in some tool to search trough it...would be amazing. (but maybe will take a lot of disk space)

Oh girl, another thing came up: I have to show my train ticket, wich is a PDF attached to an email...that I never downloaded. What is going on here...my life goes nuts without Internet. Download your important tickets/documents

So overall this trip showed me how depending I am on the Internet and that I should change that. Please see this post as work in progress as I will update and add off-line tools when I get to know them and have more experience with them.

Overall there is one main learning: Download stuff instead of only opening it in the browser. (Same here with my university pdfs...never did download them for offline use, so no research for me no)

If someone was in this situation him or herself and found out other tools that helped I would love if you share them with me, so that I can introduce them into my stack and update this article.

So now I hope that the Edge Internet connection I have on my mobile Hotspot right now will be enough to upload this article :'D

Wish you an awesome (online) time!

Simon

p.S. Another thing I found: Check what applications are using Internet on your machine, so that if you only have low bandwidth this important resource does not get sucked away by an open Skype or so.

Procrastination Algorithm

(For readability purposes, the .md file for this post is available on my GitHub page.)

Introduction

I recently wrote an anecdotal post on my blog about little things that ultimately add spice to your life in ways that you might not always immediately recognize.

In that entry, I mentioned one of my experiences with the universal college student dilemma: the trade-off between sleeping and doing homework.

Here is an excerpt from that blog post:

Should I go lie down in my bed? On one hand, it's cold and lying down is nice. Plus, I'm tired, and I could use a break. On the other hand, I'll probably fall asleep and not get my work done. Well, it's not due until 11 AM, so if I wake up a couple hours before then I'll have time. But will I wake up early? Probably not. But my bed has a blanket, and I like blankets. Then again, it's just physics, so I can probably finish it quickly now and be able to sleep in peace. Then again, it's just physics, so I can probably finish it quickly tomorrow and be able to sleep now. What about lying down with the laptop so I can rest my body but also do the assignment? Nah, I'll probably just fall asleep, so we're back to the first question. I guess sleeping now isn't so bad. But then I won't be able to sleep worry-free. But is there such thing as worry-free? There's always work to be done, and too little time to do it. And aren't all of our fates sealed to the slow decay of our bodies, cell by cell, molecule by molecule, as they succumb to the grips of time until the finality that is the end of our days?

Whoa, that escalated quickly. < / stream_of_consciousness >

After pausing to think about what I had just thought about and concluding that taking an arbitrary philosophical approach probably wasn't the best way to come to a decision, the idea of using an economic approach popped into my head. I'm taking microeconomics right now, and I couldn't help but think of drawing out a production possibility frontier (PPF), so I did. It was bowed out, since this was a case of increasing opportunity cost. Naturally, this meant that I should've sought a middle ground to balance out the benefits of both options while maximizing efficiency, but again, that would lead back to the "lie down and work" option, which didn't seem likely to happen. I proceeded to write down opportunity costs – like time and energy – of each option and eventually had the whole back side of one of my old physics quizzes covered in random econ stuff. I often think about times like this and of how dumb it is that I do extra work I do to avoid doing other work.

Then I remembered I had to do the laundry, so I put my clothes and Tide Pods in the wash and went back upstairs. I finally decided to do my physics homework, since I was already locked in to being awake to finish doing the laundry. While I was doing it, I contemplated whether that was the most efficient decision, constantly worrying that I wouldn't wake up on time and looking up articles on REM sleep and Circadian rhythms to see if I could find a way to determine a time at which to set my alarm guaranteed to wake me up (unfortunately, I found no such method).

Once I was about halfway done with my physics homework, I went back down to throw my stuff in the dryer. I went upstairs to continue doing my homework, and in between problem's I'd look at one of the many PPF curves I'd drawn and mentally mark where on the graph I was. For you econ people out there, I'll just say I was inside the bounds of the curve and Vilfredo Pareto would not be proud.

This is just one of many times that I've had to decide between doing homework and either other homework or some other activity.

Algorithm

Being a computer engineering major, I couldn't help but analyze my behavior from a coding perspective. I realized that when I make these decisions, I essentially follow an algorithm that takes in the data of opportunity costs (such as time and energy, mentioned in the excerpt above) and processes it to determine whether or not I end up doing the task and when.

I decided to write down a rough approximation of the process I follow in Python.

## Reference 1 def file_to_list(file_name): file = open(file_name,"r") return file.readlines() ## Reference 2 class Course(): def __init__(self,name = "UCI Course",importance = 0.0,major_required = False) self.name = name self.importance = importance self.major_required = major_required def set_vals(self,file_name): data_list = file_to_list(file_name) self.name = data_list[0] self.importance = data_list[1] self.major_required = data_list[2] class Homework(): def __init__(self,name = "Homework Assignment",course = Course(),approx_time = 60.0,point_weight = 10.0,mental_exertion = 10.0,do_now = False): self.name = name self.course = course self.approx_time = approx_time self.point_weight = point_weight self.mental_exertion = mental_exertion self.do_now = do_now ## Reference 3 def main(): ## Reference 4 threshold_value_list = file_to_list("threshold.txt") threshold_value = threshold_value_list[0] to_do_list = [] ## Reference 5 course_list = file_to_list("course list.txt") courses = [] homework_list = file_to_list("homework list.txt") homework = [] for i in range(len(course_list)): courses.append(Course(course_list[i])) courses[i].set_vals(courses[i].name) def course(course_name): for i in range(len(courses)): if courses[i].name == course_name: return courses[i] for i in range(len(homework_list)): homework.append(Homework(homework_list[i])) hw_data_list = file_to_list(homework[i].name + ".txt") homework[i].course = course(hw_data_list[1]) homework[i].approx_time = hw_data_list[2] homework[i].point_weight = hw_data_list[3] ## Reference 5 for i in range(len(homework)): ## Reference 6 if (homework[i].point_weight / (homework[i].approx_time ** 2)) * homework[i].course.importance + homework[i].course.major_required > threshold_value: ## Reference 7 homework[i].do_now = True to_do_list.append(homework[i]) ## Reference 8 main()

(If you are viewing this on Tumblr, sorry about the lack of color in the code; it appears Tumblr does not support Markdown syntax highlighting in code blocks. It might help if you view the .md file on my GitHub page.)

Explanation

Of course, none of that makes sense to someone who hasn't learned how to code, and even someone who knows how to code doesn't necessarily know the syntax and nuances behind developing in Python, so I'll try to explain it in layman's terms.

The section between ## Reference 1 and ## Reference 2 is purely for coding purposes and has nothing to do with economic principles; it defines a utility used later on to use up less lines and make the code easier to read.

The section between ## Reference 2 and ## Reference 3 defines the properties associated with each course you are taking and the homework assignments associated with each course. These properties include what essentially determine opportunity costs of doing the homework, such as the amount of time it might take to do the assignment (approx_time), the point impact the assignment has on your grade (point_weight), and the effort you'd have to put into the assignment (mental_exertion). These values will be used later for determining whether or not to do the assignment at the time this algorithm/thought process is executed.

Up until this point, the code has only been defining tools to use in the main part of the code, which is what actually "does something." Everything between ## Reference 4 and ## Reference 8refers to this "functional" part of the code.

The way the algorithm works is by adding homework assignments of priority that exceeds a certain arbitrary threshold to a list of assignments that will be done at the time of the decision. The lines between ## Reference 4 and ## Reference 5 define the threshold value (threshold_value), which is determined externally from the program, and the section between ## Reference 6 and ## Reference 8 actually create the "to-do list" of homework assignments (to_do_list).

The single line between ##Reference 6 and ## Reference 7 is a formula that determines the priority value of the homework assignment. This formula could vary depending on the person, the mood they're in, the kind of day they're having, and other situational things that are difficult to quantify. In this particular formula, I made the priority value of the homework assignment proportional to the relative amount of points it's worth (homework[i].point_weight) and the personal importance of the course to the individual (homework[i].course.importance). I also made it inversely proportional to the square of the estimated time taken to do the assignment (homework[i].approx_time ** 2) because time can be considered an increasing opportunity cost with a bowed-out PPF. Finally, I added a small consideration for whether or not the course is required for the major (homework[i].course.major_required).

This algorithm, as previously mentioned, yields a list of assignments to be done, and the actual execution of the algorithm is done in the line after ## Reference 8.

Altogether, this code, saved as a .py file and run correctly through the Python shell, mimics the decisionmaking process that I undergo when deciding what assignments to do at what time.

Conclusion

It goes without saying that procrastination is bad. Ideally, you would never have to run this algorithm for the purpose it is designed for, and you would always have ample time to do your assignments. This code is just for bad planners (like me).

Unfortunately for some, time management isn't exacly a honed skill, leading to situations in which one is backed into a corner faced with a tough decision between undesirable choices. This gets stripped down into an economic decisionmaking problem in its most basic form, built around the fact that people face trade-offs, one of the 10 principles of economics.

I made this code just to illustrate my thought process and how I weigh opportunity costs and trade-offs when it comes to doing my homework. I really hope nobody actually copy/pastes the code into IDLE and uses it to determine how hard they should procrastinate. They'll end up like me, frantically typing an econ assignment up on Tumblr trying to get it in on time for the 5:00 PM due date.
