Have you gone outside lately? Did something terrible happen? Post it here so the rest of us can learn to avoid similar situations or just to remind people not to go out. No photos please. Yesterday I went out and numerous strangers attempted to make eye contact with me as I walked down the sidewalk. It was awful, I knew that if I acknowledged their existence there was a risk of further interaction, so I deftly avoided it by looking at other things.
>>30332 Most likely because they are insecure themselves and are looking to belittle someone else to make themselves feel better, if only for a short period of time.
Earlier in the year I had a job as a cashier for all of two weeks. How people end up spending most of their lives doing that sort of thing will forever bewilder me.
>>30383 Small talk is a skill you develop. It kills your soul how many people make the same unfunny jokes over and over again though.
>>30341 These types of people seem to run into me pretty frequently. The only real answer is to ignore it. Don't get drawn in to their frustration. People need to stop rushing and living like they need to do everything at once.
Do you ever feel strange things from inanimate objects? I don't like to look at my Rosalina amiibos or have them next to my computer much because I can actually feel hatred coming from them.
I used to feel an immense sense of dread coming from my kitchen. Not anymore though. There are also some trees...
>>30394 What about the trees?
Everything has some type of soul in some form or another.
I feel like I need to take care of my things, to keep them "happy" and neglect free. Be it cleaning or use or whatever.
What's yours?
Lazyness
>>29265 I tried posting there but it didn't go through or something, I'm no good with computers see.
Myself. I've been told before that I'm my own worst enemy and it's always true.

What relaxing things do you like to do, Anon?
>>30444 How is that different to sleep?
>>30443 AND BROWSE TOHNO-CHAN!Post edited on 25th Aug 2017, 5:06pm
Drive recklessly at night, and watch slice of life/cute girls doing cute things types of anime.
All I need to do is nothing, what's more relaxing than that?
For years I've had the idea of making youtube videos, primary anime reviews. One of the main reasons being the slim hope I'd be able to at least make 'some' income off it as unlikely as that might be to happen. Well I finally took the plunge and went ahead with it. I wanted to at least get a few vids out before posting about it here. I should warn though that they've been pretty horrible so far and as such you shouldn't expect much. Should come as no surprise that someone who has very little interaction with people offline would have trouble speaking so the videos can be a little numbly, for that I apologize. My channel can be found here for anyone curious. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB8p0kPIgKE82nOCpBXRdqA
your voice is relaxing
If reviews don't give you any income, try getting into thr ASMR market, seriously.
>>30397 Don't you have to be insanely good as guy to get viewers?
>>30419 That's true, also probably have to buy an expensive binural mic and make sure your background noise is very quiet. Perhaps it would be better to go after the 'unintentional asmr' niche of things that weren't originally intended to give tingles or that's not the main goal, but it still does. If you pretend like you aren't doing asmr on purpose, but make your videos relaxing, long form and about interesting topics people will tune in. Think Bob Ross for example, even though the focus is on painting, really you tune in for Bob Ross and his relaxing voice and general atmosphere. You could be the otaku Bob ross
Do you think image board culture is dead? If so, can it ever be brought back?
I recently learned japanese and have been checking 2chan out lately. I have no reference to what it was previously but it feels more like what 4chan used to be with its own unique twist of course. I think it's the western culture and concepts of "memes", "shitposting" and more recently template posting that negatively affected the western internet in general.
Not dead, just dying. Even TC has a growing population of Ford Drivers and histrionic femanons. The plague won't be stopped.
Together, or not together. These are the last traces of those dreamlike days.
>>30389 Good times.
Any fans of the occult here?
i'm huge hoozuki no reitsu fan, does that count?
If stuff like psychic powers count, then yeah, I used to be. When I was young I used to think telekinesis and whatnot were possible and tried to practice every day in the hopes of getting something to happen. Obviously nothing ever did. I never was into rituals and summoning and stuff like that, though. Just the vain hope of getting to move stuff and shoot fireballs with my mind.
I've messed around with it from time to time but I'm really lazy about it. Occasionally I'll dip my toes in but I've never quite been able to fully turn off my skepticism which fucks over deeper practice. It's important to have in this stuff, otherwise you end up an unhinged schizophrenic, but at the same time it keeps you from achieving much. I just slowly lost interest over time after getting frustrated with spotty results but that's what happens when you don't put much effort in. Currently I'm studying other areas (philosophy, history) before returning.Post edited on 7th Aug 2017, 4:10pm
A bit, but I never really went deeper than reading shitty websites about it. One day I'd like to read something from one those medieval-Renaissance era alchemists such as John Dee, Paracelsus and Mirandola. Blatavsky seems interesting too, as well as Steiner
What triggers you?
>>29528 There is also this
memes
>>30357 Aren't reaction images a form of meme though?
Cuckolds, politics, Americans, work, humans, the fact that no matter what we will never truly understand each other, but usually only at work because It keeps my mind busy. It's more of a passionate hatred but I feel better when I get off work.
Who are/where your role models?
i admire >>29749 -sama
My adopted grandfather, the only man left in my family with a clue regarding finances and frugality. His only major fault is having been so laid back, so hands off. So now nobody has a clue what they're doing. While stereotypical, I really admire Nikola Tesla. The schizoid in me connects with his desire to just invent shit in his lab away from other people. From history I admire a lot of people. Benjamin Franklin, Andrew Jackson, Caesar Augustus, Agrippa. There's more but they escape me at the moment.
Link. I wanted to be a hero, just like him.
I used to look up to John Carmack during my whole "dude programming lol im such a genius" phase that every compsci student goes through. But that's pretty much it.
What do you want to be when you grow up /tc/?
I wanted to have lots of money when I grow up but I already grew up and I don't have any. But I'm not stressed out at least
I wanted to be dead when I grew up. Now I still want to be dead.
>>30345 Hmmm, I wonder how many people here are actually underage.
>>30359 Probably none.
I'd like to start another dream thread, if that's all right. I'll go first. You know how when you're a fan of something like anime or scifi or similar things in your teenage years parents will try to buy stuff for you? My dad and stepmom bought anime\manga related shit at yard sales a lot. Sometimes it was good, sometimes it was off the mark. Well, in my dream I'm still in high school. I'm sitting there playing Xbox when my dad & stepmom walk in and yell that they got me something at a yard sale. I'm think to myself, "well, probably shit, but I might as well see," and go to check it out. I walk into the kitchen and on the table is a box full of stuff from Neon Genesis Evangelion. I get more excited and go to see what it is. There's every episode in raws and fansubs on VHS, some uniforms, figurines, and even Shinjis' fucking tape recorder with the tape he listens to inside it! All the merchandise seems to be older and seems like it was directly imported from Japan. I ask where they found it. It cuts to a yard sale with a slightly sad fiftyish woman in her front yard. She talked about how her son loved this show and whatnot, and seemed very sad. She sold it all for about 10-20 dollars. I take all the stuff out and find a suicide note. Her son had gotten into anime in the eighties while in high school and was completely inept and friendless. He grew obsessed with Evangelion and felt a strong kinship with Shinji because he was such a fuck up. He grew older and couldn't find anyone to share his interests with, became more and more of a recluse, and killed himself in the late nineties, which I recall being a shame since the internet as of 96, when he killed himself, could have given him a place to talk to others and feel less alone. I realized he was "an otaku of another generation." I hung up his note and saluted it. I then went to watch his tapes and realized that he had dubbed it himself in case he ever met anyone who wanted to share his joy. I inherited his legacy. His mother had cleaned house and ended up giving me a record of a hikkikomori life.
For some reason every dream I have now has some segment involving large passenger planes crashing, and they land closer and closer to me every time I dream. This time I was grazed by a turbine that shot out of an explosion from a nearby crash. When I was watching the GuP movie today I was startled by the cargo plane flying overhead. It might have something to do with living near a large airport, because I used to love planes.Post edited on 17th May 2017, 4:43pm
A had an absolutely bizarre dream, closely related to shitposting. I was at some rock concert with a bunch of girls from various anime, including this seasons eromanga sensei. The lead singer was a black dude, and when he was singing it caused all the girls present to orgasm. For some reason, I felt like I was being NTR'd. I think I need to take a break from the internet.
I had a dream where I was at some university-like place where there were a ton of students and stuff, and I was there with my mother for some reason. I sort of forgot what it was like when it seemed like a normal day, however, as soon as I got into the parking lot building thing, gigantic teeth, big enough to destroy buildings fell out of the sky. There was no chance for people under them to survive, unless they got lucky or were in a position to somehow move out of the way from these massive things. The teeth missed the building I was in by incredible chance as there were a few really, really close. After realsing that the incident occurred, a scientist or someone that knew how to investigate this kind of phenomenon managed to figure out that the creature that these teeth fell out of was a really powerful, omnivorous creature that had to have its mouth sealed permanently as to not devour living things. Apparently, its favorite food happened to be chicken. I then thought: "How does a creature without the ability to open its mouth or that technically does not have a mouth lose its teeth?" . This thought followed me throughout getting out of bed 5 minutes ago, and I believe that the scientist might also be a hack and a fraud.
pic related I had a dream once that I was playing TF2 again for the first time in years and the experience was every bit as frustrating as I remember it to be. It was the first dream that brought me fear in a long while.
