Nah, it's you who actually distinguishes between men and women. Human beings are all equally shit regardless of their gender.

>>23362
Swing and a miss.

I'll agree that humans are all shitty, but I don't think you're grasping what you're even replying to. An individual person's opinions on each gender has absolutely nothing to do with how they're treated as a social class.

If you get into an accident and some paramedics hall you away in a ambulance without your permission, couldn't it be considered a form of kidnapping? Could it not also be considered a form of extortion when they bill you for services you didn't ask for or were unable to refuse? (like if you were knocked out)

>>23358
So it was true, Shinden: you really suck...

The point was precisely about finally fulfilling love with technology, replacing flesh with number, towards becoming ourselves something better than panting, aging and idiotically breeding beasts. Power and knowledge belong to men; women, as such, are mere troublesome sex toys and incubators that bleed on the Moon's command: they're way too "natural"/animalistic, thus a burden for posthumanity; so the point is to eradicate them and substitute them with dolls, AI, eugenics and such, rendering gender roles as entirely social, as a first step to abolish our disgusting biological condition. To live up actual love stories, we must first aim it towards actual characters and finally become actual characters ourselves.

oh Haruhi

The US has a federal minimum wage ($7.25). Most states go above that for obvious reasons. My state isn't one of them.

I'm planning on applying to the public transit system in Boston. It would be, starting wages, $18 no matter what I do. Also ideal would be, with those wages, I could live within walking distance of an MBTA station and not have to waste money on a car (let's face it, cars are a tumour for economic prosperity).

My main issue with not wanting to work is the cost of working. It's a trap. Some kids work just to keep a car running to get them to work. That's bullshit.

>>23321
I've recently began thinking about something similar to this: I'd like to move out ASAP. To do that, I'd need to get a job (the most important part) that has a nice payout and is not part-time. I'd need to get there every day, which would be hard because I don't even have a car to begin with. So that means taking the bus, which means walking 3 miles to the bus stop any day I have to work.

To move out, I would need enough for first months' rent and a security deposit - That's around 500 (if I get a shitty house) and the security deposit where I live with my folks is 900, I'll take that as an example. That's 1400 dollars. Assuming I'd get paid 10.00 an hour - Which is asking for a lot considering my qualifications (none), making it a near-impossibility. It'd take me a month of saving, without any spending at all. This isn't including furniture/moving van for the stuff in my bedroom or anything like that, just a bare-bones place to live.

I used to wonder why my friends don't move out of their parents' house. Now I get it. It just feels like I have no hope no matter what I do, and it worries me.

>>23352
Not sure what housing is like where you live, but apartments are usually much cheaper and more sensible than houses. And the deposit on an apartment shouldn't be anything near $900. I've never paid more than $200 for a deposit on any of the apartments I've rented, but the cost of living is fairly low where I live in the midwestern US.
And yes, a whole month of saving.

Tumour is too kind a word for the automobile.

It's the future, my man.
It's the only way to be.

>>23329
Oh wow, I never get excited for 3DPD movies anymore but this one looks worth my while. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the opportunity to watch it.

>>23329
I'll be sure to check it out.

>>23329
It looks like it will at least have some good moments, but I also get the impression that it could be one of those cloyingly cute and quirky movies that just leaves you wrinkling your nose at the end. Even if that ends up being the case, it definitely looks worth watching to me. I loved the line in the trailer where the OS says "How do you share your life with someone?"; having been a pretty normal and social person myself at one point, that pretty much sums it up. I'll probably have a lot to relate to.

thread kuroko!

>>23359
Now you've got me thinking whether it'd be possible to fug her straight.

>>23340
They won't do it for several years, if they ever will.
A tightly-lipped company like amazon would never show under-development ideas of theirs for no reason.
It's only marketing.

>>23341
I mostly meant Amazon since today's technology isn't enough to 100% guarantee its protection, but in the future, they'll definitely be a thing.

>>23342
I think that it's more likely that they'll leave the packages on roofs and get caught in trees and such or some douche will just take them down for the sake of taking them out with nothing stopping him since he'll be smart enough to not get caught, but I do see where you are coming from and i do agree that the convenience of time does work as a safeguard since you are aware of it showing up within the day and pretty much prepared to receive it.

>>23351
Makes sense. I think that they'd try once there is access to some A.I that lets the thing make safe deliveries.

All in all, I'm somewhat surprised that this was shown now as opposed to when it'd actually be a viable thing. Maybe it's just so that Amazon can show up as the first with their fingers in the dish to say that they were first.

>>23353
>it's more likely that they'll leave the packages on roofs and get caught in trees and such
hehe yeah, I could see that happening.

>>23353
They are far from the first. There's been tons of commercial drone, mostly for food delivery, projects out there. IIRC Domino's did a video of one of their test drones and so did Tacocopter or some other mexican-food drone folks.

The pedophile or zoophile one would be censored quickly.

The NEET one would probably get some flame war. It's not a bad option.

>>23322
>make it legal to marry your waifu
This is the best option in my opinion since it would get all serious responses.

Oh look, it's Shinden again.

Well DUH, don't post any fucking pictures. Just talk about the subjects and only post pictures that are perfectly innocent.

Words can sometimes be way more offensive than vulgar pictures, anyway.

Normals will always be the same. Every single day it’s a struggle just to get by. Normie privilege is real and every time I go get some groceries or whatever I'm forced to put on a shit eating grin for those normalfuckers who think they're above me and pretend EET privilege doesn’t exist. Out there you feel like you’re in a concentration camp ran by a madman that gave you a list of things to do but they’re in korean so you don’t understand them. But you know if you don’t do SOMETHING then you be worse off so you carefully and casually try things to see if thats okay. I can't wait until the economy implodes so they all lose their fucking jobs and end up skinning each other alive like the animals they are while I watch from my window.

It's an album cover wallpaper.

I love you Brono

The lain theme is great, thank you. Using it for now.

Awesome, all day every day

I use Yotsuba Classic.

Dreamt there was a black-metal turned art-rock band that did a concept album + 400p book on Lain. I did hear the first track, but I don't remember how it was, and I had the book, but I don't remember ever opening it.

Dreamt I was going to a childhood friend's house fix his computer and met Lain along the way. Apparently she was involved on the strenghtening of IP laws, some crazy scheme where a bond between Intellectual Property represented on the internet and physical reality would be created, turning IP more "real" and expanding Lain's domain in the process.
There was even a crazy Lainesque physical side-effect where a visible noise aura would encircle electrical cables and the aura radius would grow bigger the more copyrighted stuff was created.
Chatting with her was cool though, makes me want to watch the anime again.

Dreaming of new Lain media is always so bittersweet. ;_; It's so great, but then you are so disappointed when you wake up. I've dreamed of two new Lain games, and fan-made episodes that somehow where of the quality of the original.

And last night, I had a dream that all the computers were late 80's/early 90's computers, and this guy had a huge room full of rows and rows of PCs. And then I was in my old house, still in the early 90's, looking through the files on the computer, and noticed Lain files from the future. I was very confused.

Another dream, I and some other guys were sitting in a circle, using those cheap plastic school chairs. It seemed to be an abandoned building. We were all about middle school age. Then one of the guys started getting really pissed off and screamed at another kid, and pulled out a saw. He started sawing one of the kid's fingers off. After he did that, he pressed the saw against the front of his own neck; it slowly went deeper and deeper as blood oozed out.

A couple days ago I had a weird, complicated and totally unexpected dream, which ended with me being a flesh and blood Araragi meeting a flesh and blood Hachikuji, alone in a hotel room.

Long story short: I did molest her a bit (I fondled her breast; she was so asking for it and she liked it, I swear), but her mother came into the room to "take her home". She caught me red-handed so I was paralyzed in panic; but she didn't say a word or even looked at me while Hachikuji was getting ready to go (who seemed ashamed and didn't look at me either); as they left the room, her mother just turned and said to me, with a smile: "Thank you very much for saving my daughter". I couldn't move until a few seconds later; then I rushed into the corridor and at the top of the stairs over the lobby; last thing I could see was Hachikuji holding hands with her mom and leaving the hotel; she looked into my direction, smiled, waved goodbye and disappeared in the sunlight...

Then I woke up. There was also some Shinobu action before this, but sadly I can't remember much about it (something about embracing her as she vanished into my shadow). I must be feeling really lonesome lately.

Pinball actually requires skill.

>>23299

So does pachinko.

>>23292
>>23303
Pachinko is shooting a ton of balls into the machine hoping at least a few land in the sweet spots. unlike with pinball you have no control over it once it's in the machine and you can't keep the balls in play. In pinball you have flippers that allow you to manipulate the balls and keep them in play indefinitely. With some skill you can determine which direction the balls will go by using proper timing on the flippers. The only skill involved with Pachinko is figuring out how to tilt the building and replace parts in the machine without the casino manager not noticing. They also differ a bit in designs. Pachinko machines will typically have a forest of pins to scramble the ball's path and have little to nothing to keep the balls in play compared to the bounce pads and other devices you'd find in pinball machines. In general pachinko machines are typically vertical while pinball machines are more horizontal.

I want Fukumoto to do a pinball manga.

Katanakas are impractical, you should switch to the jackie chan school of everyday objects.
HIs samurai spirit allows him to fight with just a chair and defeat 100 men.

I have a small collection of 7 swords, though I haven't bought any in a good four years now. The only eastern swords in the bunch are a pair of matching jian.

They're sharpened but still decorations for all intents and purposes.

If you want a katana thats not $20 mall kiosk quality, buy Paul Chen.

I have some links for good European style swords too, will post em when I get around to organizing my bookmarks.
