Do you have any new years traditions or resolutions?
happy new year
>>33942 That's quite ambitious. It takes a lot of time and effort everyday to thoroughly learn topics (ballpark estimate: ~1 hr/day average for 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 each), but you have a good (and very achievable) list of goals. I have made a very similar list for myself, and I have so far found it helpful to have an itemized list of goals to meet. That is, it may be easier to break your big goals down into reasonable, achievable specific aims that you can try to achieve one after the other. In any case, I hope you're successful.
I collect 2020 anime-themed calendars to use as computer wallpaper.
>>34035 cmon now anon share them
What are some things that really bug you? Things that genuinely piss you off? I thought it would be nice to have a thread to vent about any little annoyance, no mater how big or small. Any and all complains about the world around you are welcome here! Old one reached bumb limit I think.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but a shit ton of people rush into sterilization way to fast. I sound like some 'you'll change your mind honey' dude because I am. Back then people had to debate over it, talk to people to get info, and really think about the choice. If they got sterilized they were really serious. Now they find /r/childfree circlejerk about how 'doctors are totes wrong', 'they're all wrong about how you'll regret it!', and so on. Even worse the sites average user base is teens so kids are being convinced to make a bad decision by age 18. Yes pic related regrets it
>>34031 Do you really want these people to breed, anon? The less people, the better.
>>34031 You're right, this is an unpopular normie opinion and I suggest you leave.
People seem to hate walking around here. I just found that I have work colleagues that would drive 2km by road than walk 300m to get to the shops. FFS.
What relaxing things do you like to do, Anon?
I do tai chi
>>30438 Listen to music and read science fiction.
>>33643 Second going for a walk. Something about leisurely walking around without an aim while everyone else in the world is hurrying to do truly meaningless shit is cleansing and relaxing. It's not good if you live in crime or snow though. Aside from that, hot tub or massages help temporarily, drinking hot tea, ASMR or sleep hypnosis. And this sounds counter-intuitive, but if I exercise it takes tension and stress out of my body, which in turn helps my ability to relax later.
I shoot
Lets play a bit of a game. Say the first word that comes to mind when you see the previous post's word. "Start"

I drink coffee. What's your drink of choice?
>>33882 It's sometimes too bitter for my taste but it's the only thing that I can drink without wanting to throw up.
No real preference. I enjoy the taste of most everything but I'm sensitive to the effects of caffeine and alcohol so that takes away my ability to enjoy things fully. For tea and coffee, I prefer it plain/black. For alcohols, I tend to favor liquors. >>33884 What kind of tea do you normally drink? You could try steeping more tea at lower temperatures and for a shorter period.
I like coffee
Black coffee, maximum strength and bitterness possible. I have hated soda and carbonated drinks since I was a kid, so I don't drink those at all. I used to drink a lot of tea, but at some point I found that it is easier to brew a pot of strong coffee than it is to prepare a similar amount of adequately strong/bitter tea.
Is it weird to have your laptop like this in bed? Like before you go to sleep or something. Not a great drawing but I'm drunk and not an artist either.
I tend to put serveral pillows under my head so my neck doesn't hurt. While I prefer lying down with my laptop like that over using my desktop when I'm tired, I tend to not do it a lot because the area where I place the laptop (so either the chest or bladder area) will just end up hurting a lot.
Use a tablet
I used to, but I go out of my way now to seperate my sleeping area from my entertainment area. They're still in the same room, but the little bit of seperation helps me maintain my sleep routine. >>33998 Tablet keyboards are hell.
I own a few pillows like the one in this picture. In my opinion, using my laptop in bed with one of these pillows is significantly more comfortable than sitting at a cramped desk. I keep an extra monitor by my bedside in case I want to view anything in higher quality or use an extra screen. Very comfy.
January and September are the two times during the year that the sumo tournament and the start of the new anime season coincide.
I browse wiki to read interesting stuff: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/ News, mainly tech news: https://news.ycombinator.com https://slashdot.org/ I try to minimise reddit/youtube as I can get addicted to it.
(not the anon you replied to) Holy shit, thanks anon. I forgot about that again
>>34009 >also has a for profit arm wikia I was aware of the site, but didn't know it was actually connected to the Wikimedia foundation >In 2006, the Wikimedia Foundation shared hosting and bandwidth costs with Wikia, and received some donated office space from Wikia during the fiscal year ending June 30, 200 That's disgusting. It also helps explain why Wikipedia's been deleting a lot of articles on fictional works (no matter how significant).
>>34009 >now "fandom.com" I had no idea they were actually affiliated, which is embarrassing since the change to that absolutely ruined anything of value they hosted and made it unreadable.
>>34014 If i'm looking at the english monster girl encyclopedia wiki, the last things I want to see are star wars and cape shit ads.
Sort of a hybrid between the book club and "post something new you learned." Post any interesting essays, articles or prose you've stumbled across on the internet. I'll start: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/09/02/754316710/meet-the-man-who-guards-americas-ketchup https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/04/22/guantanamos-darkest-secret
>>33935 >10.1. We write with 22 letters; they use 48 kana letters and an infinite number of characters in various kinds of letters. It's like an old version of "there are more kanji than there are stars in outer space"
I found this in tohno-chan's archive. It's very interesting. The Adventures of Eggplant https://www.neatorama.com/2011/02/07/the-adventures-of-eggplant/Post edited on 31st Dec 2019, 2:00pm
>>33935 It's interesting. >2.34. In Europe, young girls are always very strictly kept in their houses; in Japan, girls go alone wherever they want, for one or several days, and are not answerable to their parents about that. In the Hagakure, it says that one should keep their daughter at home never allowing them to even visit a temple and never allowing them to interact with men. That seems quite the opposite to this, maybe common people allowed them to do whatever they wanted but the rich didn't or maybe he says to do this but it was not so common.
The Genetics of Sex Differences in Brain and Behavior https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3030621/ >In this paper, we will review sex differences in brain and behavior that are not due to the action of hormones secreted by the gonads—which has been the dominant mechanism associated with such differences—but from what we term `direct genetic effects.' These are effects that arise from the expression of X and Y genes within non-gonadal cells and result in sex differences in the functions of those cells.
>What you sold. >Why what you sold is no longer useful to you. >Where you sold it. >How much you got for it. Garage sales, pawn shops, online selling, everything goes so long as it is kept legal. You can also recommend some good places to sell stuff that others might now know about or share resale knowledge that others might not know. You can also post pictures of what you intend to sell before you it's gone.Post edited on 4th Jan 2018, 11:56pm
>>31569 Ditto. Although I have most of it back thanks to pirates (thanks guys, whoever you all are!), the floppies and manuals would made a nice keepsake...
>>31260 I sold all mine like 10 to 15 years ago, and I regret it immensely. Some of them are worth a lot more now, but I mostly just miss the memories.
I sold my VHS collection.. probably sold it too cheap but I need my space back
>>31253 is that an elementary school girl in a tiny skirt smoking a cigarette?
They say you learn something new every day. Let's see if that statement is true! ITT post something new you learned today. Trivia knowledge is more than welcome.
Americans never fought Tiger tanks in France, they only encountered some damaged ones loaded onto a train.
>>33982 Hm if you're following the saga the press conference seems pretty damming against Japan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg7IoxB_ffs I wonder what JP's side of the story is (if they will even reveal it)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_disclosure_law#United_States I fear because of my loli stash.
>>33993 There's no reason to be afraid... yet.
