Tomato seasoning salt is a very good grocery, actually, in particular for NEETs. It's cheap, tastes good and it can give you the illusion of a more nutritious meal, than you actually have. It works especially good with cream cheese and white bread. While white bread with cream cheese is boring and doesn't taste too interesting, the same thing with a pinch of tomato seasoning salt, tastes much better. Of course, this taste is merely an illusion, but it's a major improvement still.

Hot sauces are also good for a similar purpose. They help mask the blandness of a food, maybe because the pain distracts you from it. I can't imagine eating a plate of just rice, but with hot sauce it's manageable.

Ketchup is my go-to for stuff like chicken. With rice, if it's the nice squishy kind, soy sauce, otherwise salsa.

Another food tidbit, that came to my mind:
You can use the mozzarella water inside the mozzarella bags to cook. In particular with scrambled eggs or meat, you can just pour it inside the pan and mix it with the other fluids, like oil or eggs, and wait until the vast majority of it condensed or absorbed by the other stuff in the pan. Just don't overdo it otherwise it won't be too good (i.e. don't pour everything in pan, just a bit). The aroma certainly is an acquired taste, but it doesn't taste as bad as you would expect.

I have been taking anti-psychotics for years now, but recently the side effects really seem go hard on me. All of my cognitive abilities seem to be worsening. Thinking generally, remembering stuff, doing things I like or just doing anything that is not being idle is very hard for me and it doesn't seem to get better. I feel brain-dead. The worst thing however is, that I have no choice, should I not want to get psychotic again. It's really a curse and I hate all of it, although taking the medication is by far the lesser evil.

>>43015
no schizo no antipsychotics but i feel brain dead anyway. at least it's not as bad as being psychotic.

>>43015
>doing things I like or just doing anything that is not being idle is very hard for me
I can at least sympathize a bit, since sometimes I feel this way (but likely not as bad as what you are experiencing). Unfortunately unlike like antidepressants, the symptoms of not being on antipsychotics seem worse than the alternative.

You could talk to your doctor and maybe ask them to try switching dosage or the drug?

>>43017
>You could talk to your doctor and maybe ask them to try switching dosage or the drug?
I have changed medication so often already that I'm glad that something finally works properly and without any major shenanigans. Unfortunately almost all anti-psychotics have, what I described, as a side effect.

I think most people on TC probably would not get along with each other in real-life, even though I think of all you anons fondly on this imageboard. That's part of the magic of the internet I guess, it allows you to selectively expose your best self without needing to also show the uglier parts.

>>42997
>I think most people on TC probably would not get along with each other
Correct. I viciously hate seeing living faces in the first 30-60 minutes after waking up. This doesn't apply to close relatives, probably because like a dog I got used to them enough they don't make me want to growl. But living in dorms with other people has been all but agonizing misery because people just wouldn't leave me the fuck alone in the fucking morning.

>>42928
So I got the Kadenz. It's very nicely packaged and feels like it has great build quality. The drivers are matte steal, so no more paint-chipping.

Haven't listened to it enough to have "brain burn-in", but here are my initial impressions: compared to the Aria, it's more detailed. There's little things I notice which I wouldn't have on those. The vocals are more separated from the instruments. Bass is subdued and doesn't have much of a "thump". However, it also comes with a dsp adapter with a usb-c end. Not sure about the details, but it allows you to adjust the tuning(add more bass or whatever else). If you listen to music on your phone, that might pique your interest.

edit:
Switching from the "spring tips" to the regular ones, improved the bass and seal, so I'd recommend using those.

That's kind of mean... big sisters are supposed to be caring and wholesome!

It's both. I do not like my current living situation, and I want to escape. When that time comes, it'll be when I have enough to move where I want. Since I can move anywhere, I might as well pick the country that I feel the most comfortable.

I would if I could. In many aspects living there would definitely be way worse than where I live now, but being able to go to events like Comiket, buy manga/ln directly from stores, and being able to make curry rice for a reasonable price (arguably the most important reason) would make up for it. I think.

If I were Japanese, probably. But I am not, and I don't want to contribute to the ongoing gaijin-ization of Japan.

If I thought I could NEET, I would move to any first world country. I already have enough money to NEET in the third world, but I don't know if the first world would require more or even deport me for not having a job.

Hentai's been shit lately, so I hardly even care

>>42991
Can't tell whether you're talking about adult anime, doujinshi, or drawings. In the case of the former, it's always been shit. If you mean the latter two, you clearly haven't looked around enough.

>>42992
Yep, meant the former. The latter two never got into simply don't find the effort worth the reward, no hard feelings.

>>42993
Yeah that's fair

I request pictures of Kuroki Tomoko sleepy-faced, yawning or waking up with her left side closer to the viewer like pic related. I need this for reference.

Can that anon who had the offline-mirror of TC (or one of the admins who have access to the raw data) grep all the posts for "referent" or "antecedent"? I'm trying to dig up a post I posted on here maybe about 6months back about grammar or something, but none of the search engines (google, bing, yandex) find anything. But I don't trust any of their indexes, they're incomplete (especially googles).

(Or if you could just upload the text-only mirror of it somewhere as an archive, that'd be sweet. Compressed it shouldn't really be more than 100MB).

Brilliant, you're amazing. I found the post I was looking for, it's >>/an/37137. As I suspected, my memory was right and I was searching for the right keywords (I knew I had mentioned something about accusative or noun phrase), just that all search engines fail at their basic job and simply don't have it in their index.

>Still under 1GB compressed.
Yeah there was some junk in /mp3/ and /ddl/. Removing that, the uncompressed size is 873M. I highly suspect that excluding those and using better compression like 7z you could get a resulting size of < 150M or so. You could also remove the +50 or +100 version of the thread html since they are redundant.

> I used a very rudimentary method
Out of curiosity, what was this method? I'd think that it would suffice to just rsync over anything ending with the html extension, right? Also are you the same anon who made the >>/navi/3378 thread?

I honestly see no point in looking for other places. They are either corrupted by normalfaggotry or try to cling onto a time that will never come back, yet I still come here. You are here forever huh. How I wish steve jobs would have never invented the iphone.

There might come a time when language models are good enough that I can consult them about any inquiry or try to engage in discussion, but being proprietary garbage I don't have a lot of expectations for them

>How I wish steve jobs would have never invented the iphone.
Is there really anything to even suggest that during that era smartphones wouldn’t have eventually been invented whether it was Apple or not and become as widespread as they are today? You’re also referring to a time period when competition was still thriving in California and Washington due to a far less aggressive regulatory environment... https://youtu.be/lFeDBGXwwp4?t=89

I think he's using the iPhone as a stand-in for the smartphone revolution in general.

>imploded in popularity
that's a neat twist on the phrase, will have to remember that

>>42966
I slept only 4 hours pls be patient

>>42967
It wasn't sarcastic (in case you interpreted it that way), I thought it was genuinely clever, and I can't remember seeing that specific phrase before so it's novel to me. And looking at google seems to back me up on the novelty of the phrase; only 10 results, and most of those uses are probably mistakes, since they really meant to say "exploded in popularity" without any sardonic undertone of it being a negative thing.

>>42964
I got around that by simply using Japanese sites and avoiding the English language internet for the most part.

I began over two years ago. I was following the meme guides (The 〇〇 Way, Tatsu〇〇, et al) -- did the JLPT Anki decks, then started "mining" from anime, etc. But Anki is quite mind-numbing and after a day or two of not doing it all the reviews piled up and that was very discouraging and made me go on a hiatus. Then I would return a few months later and go on a hiatus again. That went on for almost two years, until I gave the middle finger to Anki and just enjoyed anime/manga/games/VNs while looking up words, without worrying about "mining" them or doing Ankis. Also I quit translations and converted my time spent on translated Japanese media to untranslated. Right now I'm at a point where I have at least like 95% understanding of common Japanese both written and spoken, and if I had to write/speak I could probably at least get my point across. Funnily enough the only thing dragging me back is that despite spending all my day in my room, my Internet/imageboard addiction replaces hours and hours that I could've spent on media (was a problem even before I started learning Japanese), otherwise I probably would manage to reach fluency by 2025 (笑).
Maybe I'm still not in the position to give advice, but if I had to give some:
- JAPANESE IS A NORMAL FUCKING LANGUAGE SPOKEN AND WRITTEN BY OVER 100 MILLION PEOPLE, DON'T TREAT IT AS SOME ALIEN LANGUAGE THAT NEEDS SPECIALIZED LEARNING METHODS COMPARED TO OTHER LANGUAGES -- the only thing that makes it difficult compared to other languages is that it's just completely different, not that it's inherently hard (case in point, Japanese people also have a hard time learning English, does that make it a hard language?) (also as a side note, CIA literally calls Japanese the hardest language in the world in the same breath that it claims that terrorists did 9/11; do you really trust glowniggers with all your heart?)
- "Immersion" is the only true way of learning languages in general, the benefit of "formal study" exponentially decreases the better you get, and if you do still want to memorize things et al, don't ma

>memorizing dictionaries
I wish I had the skill...

>>42953
That's how I learnt to understand English. And also reading dictionairies (not studying or trying to memorise them).
Formal study on set times drawn out over several years is a horrible way to learn. My understanding of my native language and English was always so far ahead I never bothered to care in school, the teachers and their classes were piss poor anyway. Much of it was just memorising a bunch of words every week, not much grammar or anything. Or watching shitty movies when the teachers didn't want to work. (笑)
I've looked into several languages but the only ones I've tried to actually study have been French and Japanese. French as a forced third language in school, which was mind-numbingly boring. The only thing I learnt was that je ne parle pas français.
Japanese on my own several times in the past, but I always just stopped, in the beginning mostly because of limited resources, later because I get bored. What little I know of Japanese I've picked up through immersion, not studying. I've wanted to learn this language for 20+ years, I need to get going and do more than just listen to it.

>CIA literally calls Japanese the hardest language in the world in the same breath that it claims that terrorists did 9/11; do you really trust glowniggers with all your heart?
lol. The only hard thing is kanji readings. It's a language I know I can get a basic understanding of if I only tried.

An example of your point is how my understanding of English was a rarity among people who had travel dictionary level of understanding at best, and just a generation later it's the prefered language of kids and zoomers who are all fluent with perfect pronounciation (well, "fluent" in "perfect" Internet American). They didn't learn through studying, they learnt by aping what they immerse themselves in all day, what they hear on Youtube/tiktok/netflix, and read on twitter/discord.

None, currently but I downloaded a cyberpunk-themed Source-engine-based FPS game called Dystopia. It's on my hard drive already, but I didn't play it yet. Maybe I can report back in a week, when it's actually done.

>What anime, movies, YouTube channels etcetera are you watching today?
After reading the Nichijou manga, I wanted to watch the Nichijou anime. I'm at episode 4 and will continue watching later. It has a very resembles the feeling of the manga closely and I think that's good. The animations are really lovely and generally high-quality, but also besides from a technical standpoint, Nichijou just has a (in my opinion) distinctive humour, which makes it very fun to watch to me. Of course I know already all the jokes, but that doesn't make it less funny.

>Have you been listening to any podcasts or music today?
I've started listening to Dark Ambient and Dungeon Synth again. Ziggurath, Old Sorcery, Cedamus, Elffor, Jim Kirkwood, Mortiis; this kind of stuff.

>Are you reading any manga or literature?
Nothing this week.

>What games are you playing today?
i've still been chipping away at mugen souls! i'm almost done with it, but the grinding required in order to get the secret ending is honestly kind of a drag, i've been grinding on and off for the past several days, and two of the main character's personalities are just stuck at a certain level. it kind of sucks. i was really enjoying this game, otherwise.
in other news, reynatis came out today, and my copy should be coming in the mail october 1st!

>What anime, movies, YouTube channels etcetera are you watching today?
at the moment, nothing. i was without a laptop for pretty much the entirety of the summer season, so in addition to catching up on all of that, i also need to see what's airing in the fall, and also rewatch a ton of older stuff so i can get all my screenshots back...

>Have you been listening to any podcasts or music today?
it's been cold, rainy, and cloudy all day today, so i've been listening to songs that fit the mood. here're a couple of them:

You should always keep backups, friend, that's the rule number 1 of using computers. And from what you're describing your important files are mostly just images and text-based/miscellaneous files, no big videos etc, so you could probably even fit them on a 10$ USB stick.
I didn't mean to put salt in the wound if I happened to come across that way...
