>why?
because it would be awesome if soichi negishi put out some new tunes

but isnt 2.3% an incredibly low rate of unemployment?

>>22124
It is compared to the rest of the first world nowadays, but it doesn't give a complete picture. Based on the irregular unemployment figures in the second paragraph, it seems that the old are continuing to be employed in the better jobs at the expense of the young. That, and probably the same thing that's happening here: when the old finally do retire, their secure high wage jobs are sometimes outsourced to cut costs and insecure low wage jobs appear to replace them.

I live in Spain and youth unemployment is 50%, not 2,3%. Glorious nippon at its full potential.

What a gay city.

I wonder how long it'll be until we can get a Otoyomegatari anime.

Always so close, yet always so far

Whenever I turn on a light, it feels like intense heat is being emitted from it and the room starts to feel unbearable.

I think that I might be a little sensitive to light now.

I thought things were getting better. I was getting along with my family, I'd made a few friends, I've been trying to eat healthy, and for the past month I've been waiting for my birth certificate in the mail so I can register my car and get a job driving and delivering things.

But then my Mother has to tear me back down again, telling me to get a job, telling me to grow up. Whenever I try and open up to her, she dismisses me. She's tired, and it would be better for her and anybody else I know if I just disappeared.

It's my own fault, though. I hate myself so much. I'm beginning to wonder if killing her and then myself is really such a bad idea. I just don't know anymore. I love her, but she makes me feel worthless. She makes me feel disgusting. I can't articulate my feelings, I'm narcissistic, egotistic, cynical and poisonous to anybody around me. I'm beginning to wonder if I can feel healthy emotions at all.

Today I got up and watched breakfast television. Today I wondered if I'll ever truly connect with another person.

It's probably not a very helpful thing to say, but shut-out and disregard anybody who makes you feel that way. That's what I've done for the last 10 or so years, and it hasn't failed me yet.
>Today I wondered if I'll ever truly connect with another person.
You will, eventually. The more quantity you throw yourself into, the higher the chance of finding quality, though.

Ah, I totally forgot I was supposed to post an update on Monday. Still busy but I'm 99,99% positive I'll start again tomorrow.

>>22109
you think /so/ is bad? try the virgin imageboard wizardchan. specifically /v9k/ which I think is wannabe Ford Drivers.

>>22110
Well really if all your post does is ruin someones day...

>>22117
If a simple post on a imageboard is all it takes to ruin someones day, that person is gonna get every single day of their life ruined one way or another.

>>22118

But they don't come here to get their day ruined, they come here to get away from that. It seems there are just a few people left who seem to understand such a simple concept. I'm getting called a useless piece of shit left and right all day long, why would I purposely visit a site that would just add more insults on top of that?

Why do you feel that it is so diffucult to drop internet? Is there anything in particular that keeps you tied to it, some actual reason for you to feel bad not able to be online?
Personally I used to feel like that back then when my presence on the web has its meaning, when I was managing a couple of anime-related clubs on a social network, being mostly the sole contributor there, so that offline time was harmful for those societies I felt being in charge of. Now I mostly ceased doing that and barely anyone will miss me should I go offline, so I don't care.

>>22068
I'm not even sure why I find it so hard to stop using the internet so much. Whats the reason that everyone else who wants to stop using it have trouble?

>>22081

Force of habit.

>>22081
It's the only place where I can get my social fix without major inconveniences and I depend on it for most of my activities, so it feels really inefficient to do stuff offline.

Or is it a hedgehog with a pet cat?

Like, if OP can't find it online (which is easy with a google search and a few minutes).

Yes. #(twitter) joke things make me laugh more than I feel they should.

Really lame puns, especially ones that are the punchline to a joke but you end up forgetting the joke itself. Like "There's no plates like chrome for the Hollandaise" or "Absinthe makes the farts go 'honda!'"

I blame my grandfather.

When bad things happen to myself, I laugh. I get physically injured, sometimes severely, I would still manage to chuckle or grin. I think it has something to do with myself not being able to frown. Even when I'm crying, I would still smile.

>>22044
I would agree but it's usually because I hurt myself in a dumb way.
Like back in high school science lab, I leaned back to chill on the table, forgetting there was a heated hotplate there. Which I put my hand on, and it stuck to it long enough to leave a burning imprint.

>>21878
it was dead for fucking YEARS. Well the admin said he would put it back up EVENTUALLY...

A couple of those posts are me.

What happened with all of the FF H that was on there? Why is the site different? I remember that it used to be a bunch of tags and links.

>>21903
Me too. It's so sad this place died, easily the best hikki board before the big death. Some probably came here, but there were some discussions with people who weren't necessarily into anime/japanese culture that this place won't attract. RIP /hikki/
