My neighbor's dog got out somehow and was on our porch, so me and my father pet it. What a day!

Two persons that I was waiting to email me about interesting things finally emailed me back! This is the first good day I've had in a long time.

Twitter: The TC thread? Well, more interesting than what normals post on their twitter (somehow)

I've been trying to learn how to html from a last post, to make my blog look prettier even though nobody reads it. I still have no idea what to do, rather, I think I'm trying to gather things too fast.

I let the water chamber of my moka pot fall while cleaning it. I've damaged the coffee chamber and the basket quite a bit before and it still worked fine, but now it's leaking and thus broken.
Fuck my sloppiness.

I moved rocks around for my grandmother.

Was my birthday, I turned 25. As always the birthday gifts I got sucked ass and the only decent one came from myself (pic related). Although as always my dad did gave me $100 which can be counted as any sort of gift I want. made my own cake last night... mom ate most of it before I got a slice. would have honestly have liked one of those dumb kids cakes with toys and stuff on it and maybe some candles... then again that might be embarrassing, I'm just gonna eat it alone in my room watching anime anyway. My email inbox got spammed with birthday messages from sites I don't even remember joining. Had dinner with my dad who I haven't seen in half a year, might be the last time I see him if me and my mom go trough with our move cross country. He dragged me the gym with him; I'm really sore. Kept talking about how it's a good place to socialize and meet people compared to clubs and bars, I kept telling them I didn't want to socialize and they said my attitude would change if I worked out more and they used to be the same but I doubt they had a waifu and a disgust for 3dpd. I'm just glad that crap is over with so I can get back to loosing myself in front of my pc screen.

happy birthday tohno

I spent a good chunk of the day watching videos of some crazy SMW hack made by people from Niconico Douga. Some pretty good level design they got going.

>>21778
Happy birthday, Tohno.

I'd get you something if I could.

>>21778
Late but: happy 25, man. Not that we care, I know, but welcome to the (NHK) area of not suitable for marriage anymore... you know: together alone. Thanks for the site over these last years.

>>21778
Five more years until your powers arrive, unless you already ruined that as a teenager or something similar.

>>21785
Christmas cake doesn't apply to men. In fact, in many ways an older man is more appealing to a woman than a younger one.

>>21788
dang it.

>>21789
yeah but, you know, we were cute little girls n' shit.

>>21789
Jailbait is less socially acceptable however, including lolis.....

I did Jury Duty today....and helped a friend steal a TV.

>>21809
You bastard.
Give my TV back.

>>21810
I don't have it lol. Basically he is conducting something of a Scorched Earth campaign to keep his brother from getting anything from the place as his brother apparently stole a shitload of money from his account/cleaned it out & tried screwing him over. So he's basically taking everything of value he can out to sell or ebay or give to other people just to spite his brother.

>>21823

Thanks for the really boring normal story full of social interaction and stupid things. "lol"

>>21832
you are welcome

>Thanks for the really boring normal story full of social interaction and stupid things

Story of my life... ;_;

I got my new headphones (beyer t1), I'm enjoying them a lot, it has resurrected some of my music adiction, which is nice, now my life isnt completely empty.
http://youtu.be/YZj_UK3-Ckg
Wow this song good in my new headphones. I didnt think that would happen but the T1s actually reveal even more details which wasnt obvious when I used my previous headphones, DT880.
Kinda irks me though that I define my days by what stuff I bought or got, its kinda sad in a way but I dont know how to solve it, Im not really interested in anything anymore.

.... I also got my package from jap amazon with all yuikaori singles and their photobook. I have it all on my computer of course but I feel good owning hard copies.

Oh, and I started eating supplements to increase my sperm production (ordered it because I was bored), it has only been a day but it feels as if my sex drive is higher, which I really dont want, it would make me miserable if I started feeling attracted to women.

>>21836
>Secede - Outran

Wow that's really good, I think I'll download the album. Also I envy your headphones.

I discovered this band earlier today. Thanks Space Funeral.

I finished Analogue: A Hate Story and then played Digital: A Love Story which was even more wonderful.

>>21836
Secede is wonderful.

>>21839
And so is Space Funeral.

Dropped my water chamber again while trying to reassemble the pot, now it's assembling almost as fine as it did before, and making coffee too.

>>21836
Why more sperm? For me more sperm is more trouble.

My mother's dog had her puppies. There are, like, 4-5 of them. It's unfortunate, but one of them was born physically malformed with it's head all messed up. Both eyes are bulging out and entirely red, and it seems like a part of its brain is sticking out of the top of it's head.

I'm not sure if it can see or not, but it doesn't seem like its eyes will ever work and it doesn't seem to be able to latch on to its mother to feed. The whole thing is sad.

>>21836
I'm the same anon as: >>21837

Thank you for posting this, Bye Bye Gridlock Traffic was amazing.

I woke up this morning and immediately had to fight a gross spider on my floor

>>21883
>had to fight a gross spider on my floor

Did you scream 'AAAH!' while increasing your power level?

>>21873
looks like it's time to shoot it dead.

Todays pointless happenings
I played some Heroes of Might and Magic 3, its the only game Ive ever played that I truly suck at, I just cant figure out how to play it properly

Ive set my keyboard to dvorak, its terribly frustrating, took me a good 3 minutes to type out the sentence above. Learning it faster than I would have guessed though.
f is the hardest, I always press g instead

I bought a manikin head, torso and hand, I dont know why

>>21847
I wanted to know if it would lessen the negative effects of fapping, I mostly bought it on impulse though
Doesnt seem to have any effect whatsoever. I wonder if there are any good supplements for lowering your libido..

>>21882
That makes me happy
check out the rest of his stuff too when you have the time, Tryshala is really good.

>>21809
Whose tv did you take? Does the guilt keep you up at night?

Attempted to use this old super 8 camera that I brought some time last year but it didn't work at all; most likely due to rust on the springs in the battery compartment.

Brought myself another one from ebay. Hopefully I'll have more luck with this one since it's been tested, or so the seller claims.

>>21889
>check out the rest of his stuff too when you have the time, Tryshala is really good.

Because a lot of people are saying Tryshala is somehow better than BBGT, I am almost scared that I will burn away in the face of brilliance or something, you know like when people look at the face of Haruhi in the Bible. In all seriousness though I will download it whenever I finally have the chance to return my ath-m50s for a new pair (the bass somehow broke) but BBGT managed to immerse me in total atmosphere, and at the same time at the end of the album when that last piano segment came in my emotions were completely drained. I know this sounds over exaggerated, but that album really managed to nail everything in terms of what makes music good for me, so that something even better from him exists is exciting. And it just gets better and better with each listen. Like I said I know it sounds like I am overpraising the album too much but that is really how I feel about it.

My brother took me out to see the new Star Trek movie.

It was a Wrath of Khan retelling...

I was disappointed.

>>21896
I figure some get money from the government by acting like hypochondriacs. The rest probably have jobs.

Switched from Chromium to Chrome. Making this post mainly so the name field is remembered and I don't have to be arsed to change my IME for one symbol.

>>21900
Welcome to the botnet, Shinden-chan.

I hope we can be friends~

Pixiv is doing the thing where it sometimes forgets to update search results (or not show them at all) again and it's making me mad

I've started reading more manga. I've caught up with WataMote (incredible!) and plan on tackling The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer beginning Friday.

Plowed through Attack on Titan today. Shit is fucked up, but good.

I lost my internet, so I'm leeching from my grandmother's house.

I hate this since I'm supposed to get ready and shit for this shitty trip thing and I'm missing out on Jump day and all of the other good internet things that I enjoy.

Also, I haven't masturbated today.

Have this picture of this bug I saw today.

Compiled a list of books/anime/comics/games I haven't finished. Both in books and games I have listed a dozen (and I'm afraid I've forgotten to include some titles)
Hope mantaining such a list will make it easier to remember resuming progress on something rather than picking up new stuff like crazy and never finishing from now on.

Some people tried mugging me. They sucked as I could tell they didn't have a gun in their pocket. I walked/ran away while grinning/LOLing. The other guy was like 'just go' to the guy who tried mugging me as they walked into a side streets

Bought and played Call of Juarez: Gunslinger.
Damn, this is so good.

Today I finally replaced my window that broke in an earthquake with a screen.

Then I found a dead cat in the corner of the property. I buried it. Now I don't know if I should print up fliers to give to the neighbours telling them what happened.

If my cat went missing I'd be devastated.

Rotted teeth at the back of my mouth started throbbing again. Spent most of the night writhing and screaming. Not pleasant, but not nearly as unpleasant as the dentist's office is going to be.

When the pain eventually stopped I drank a bottle of wine, smoked a joint and played Persona 4.

Today's my birthday.

>>21970
Have a good day today anon

>>21970
Happy birthday, anonymous!

>>21970
How are you gonna celebrate?

>>21970
Happy birthday.

>>21972,21973,21975
Thank you.

>>21974
By playing video games and doing the same exact things that I do everyday while eating food that is slightly tastier than normal. I've tasted the food, so I can say that much at least, but that's pretty much what I did today.

Can't complain since it wasn't too bad of a day with not too many people coming and doing the whole birthday thing.

>>21976
What game did you play, if you don't mind me asking?

>>21969
uh, a root canal will be PLEASURE. I have that same pulpitis shit to deal with

Aleve won't work, get some heady duty painkillers from the local pharmacy

these fuckers (pic related)

>>21987
generics are about the same. ive only used generics but they work. PROTIP: just take the caps off (one of) them if the pain is bad, it works faster.

>>21987
In my country we can't get much strong stuff over the counter, and prescriptions for anything decent are hard to get. Whenever my jaw/teeth started throbbing I would usually cold water extract Codeine from Paracetamol(500mg)/Codeine(10mg) tablets. Most companies here put Paracetamol or Ibuprofen in with the Codeine to stop people using it for recreational purposes, which is a nightmare if serious pain persists even after you've taken the maximum safe dose of Para you can take without OD'ing, which is around 1500mg if I remember correctly, meaning only 30mg of Codeine unless you want to try your luck with unsafe doses of Paracetamol. If I hadn't learned of cold water extraction I'd have probably killed myself to end the pain by now.

>>21991
I didn't know about that. However, I've taken up to 140g of Ibuprofen on a day with no further problems.

>>21991
This is why I try to find sources of pleasure besides drugs.

Bought myself a jigsaw puzzle. Pic related. I bet you can't even tell but the bottom part depicts the still bagged pieces (along with a box of matches for comparison). Regrettably I have nothing I could take a proper picture with, sorry.

Will start tomorrow I guess. 2000 pieces, this will probably take a while (wanted to buy a 3000 pieces one but I don't have a big enough table). Haven't done one since I was like 5~6, so well over a decade and a half by now.

Now that I think about it my birthday is ~a week away, I wonder if I'll manage to finish it before then...

>>21994
Looks nice. Always wanted to play with one of those humongous ones, have fun(and care not to lose any pieces).

>>21995

Well, 2000 is still not that big - after getting assembled it'll form a 96x68cm picutre. Just about the size of my only table, didn't want to assemble them on the floor.

But yeah, saw some 24000 pieces ones when I checked it on amazon out of curiosity - now that's big.

>>21996
I attempted a 2000 piece puzzle once. I failed.

I will stick to 500 piece ones. 1000 if I wanna go for a challenge.

>>21994

Daily progress report and more craptastic photos.

Sorting those puzzles took me literally two hours (first pic). Didn't have it in me to spend another two hours sitting there so I just put together the top edge and called it a day. This will take a long while, especially since this picture is pretty hard.

Day 1 progress: 74/2000 (~4%)

I leave to get a mental health referral in 20 minutes, wish me luck.

Been trying to catch up on anime I've missed out on this season. I love the feeling of being there in the moment for a great series. It makes me feel like I'm alive when I look back a year or so down the line.

>>22000
Hope that works out for you. It could be the best thing you ever did if you end up getting some solid benefit bucks out of it.

>>21999

Day 2 progress: 272/2000 (~14%)
Outlook: no way in hell I'm gonna finish this before my birthday, that was too ambitious.

>>22010

Day 3 progress: 600/2000 (30%)

It finally started too look like a proper picture.

>>22013

Day 4 progress: 960/2000 (48%)

Almost halfway done but I'm afraid it was the easier half.

I've had an interesting last couple of days in regard to wildlife encounters. First, I met this fledgling blue jay, who hopped about so slowly that I didn't even really have to chase after it. It only squawked a couple of times after I grabbed it, and then just chilled out and stared at me. Knowing these birds, the mother wasn't likely about, as I'd have at least received a stern talking to if she'd seen me.

Secondly, this rather large brown recluse greeted me in my apartment this evening. I've caught quite a few of these guys at my old place, but I've never seen one even half the size of this one. I suppose I should splurge on some glue traps.

>>22018

i've been seeing spiders everywhere lately. There was even a half-dead tarantula in my kitchen ( ´Д｀)

>>22017
You know I've heard that the mother will abandon baby birds if she smells the scent of human on them.

>>22019
Tarantula?! Where might you live? But yes, it is that time of year in my part of the globe, and the spiders are out in force doing their thing.

>>22020
As far as I know this isn't true. Most birds have virtually no sense of smell, with vultures and condors as notable exceptions.

>>22018
That constitutes a large spider? Ohohoho.

I have spiders on the outside of my house that have asses the size of quarters. And large fast scurrying spiders have entered my house that are larger than an Eisenhower dollar.

>>22021
If it wasn't smell it was something else. I just remember finding a baby bird when I was a kid and my dad told me not to pick it up or else the mother would abandon it.

>>22020
>>22024
urban legend - http://www.snopes.com/critters/wild/babybird.asp

>>21991
what country are you living in/from?

>>22016

Day 5 progress: none! I was busy today and I felt like taking a break from that puzzle either way. But it's fun so I'm sure I'll start again tomorrow, although I probably won't make much progress as I'll be busy with other things.

Good fucking Haruhi, how I hate sundays. I feel physically exhausted out of doing nothing and bored to my death every time this weekday gets by. I wish we only had six days on the week.

Tonight I barbecued for the first time and ate my very first steak!

I walked by several police officers smelling like marijuana.

I wanted to bike to my brother's house to study. Ended up trying to fix my bike instead, then it started raining.

>>22029
They're touching...

>>22030
Kono baka.

Two days ago I bought my first microcontroller and electronic components. I have started tinkering with it. When I'll have money for servos I'll buy them and I'll make a super cool robot! I will probably be unable to buy many... so maybe with 4 I can make a decent robot arm.

I got an Excellence on a test today so now my
father won't be on my case for a while.
I basically just reworded an excellence exemplar,
but I feel they were all my own ideas anyway.
At least that's what I keep telling myself.
I feel guilty because I didn't think I should have
got such a high mark.

>>22027

Day 6 progress: next to none. Mostly due to lack of time but when I finally sat down and wanted to do something I realized I got stuck pretty bad. No picks today since I'm barely above 1000 I bet.

I feel sick.

>>22022
It's large for a brown recluse, which is only noteworthy because their bites can be rather nasty.

>>22035

You might want to check out BEAM robotics. It is cheaper and more interesting.

>>22037

Day 7 progress: Some. I'm still stuck but I did move forward a little bit. It's mostly lack of time that holds me back and it will only get worse over next couple of days. Might need to put it on hold until next week. Makes me regret not spending more time on it when I still had it.
No pic today, sorry.

I've come down with stomach flu. Not nice. Was sick for up to 4 or 5 times last night.

>>22042

Day 8 progress: as expected, put on hold at least until Monday. Will post an update then.

>>22041
Thanks for the suggestion. I just checked the Wikipedia article... and you can't program these robots?

I'm bored!

>>22072
Play some video games!

I finished watching Kotonoha no Niwa. I like all of Shinkai's films, cloud porn or not, they all make me tear up. Now, I just want to watch anime that is designed to make me cry.

Got sick of TF2 since the only servers I could find today were 2fort, 2fort and 2fort.

So I tried Killing Floor. This is pretty fun.

I did nothing today.

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.

>>22112
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.

>>22047

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.

>>22127

Finally managed to get back to it.

Day XX progress: 1257/2000 (~62,9%)
Might've miscounted (or rather, I probably did).

Looks like it'll be incredibly hard from here on out.

There's a spider that lives between my window and window screen. The air conditioning system is out. My dad came to my room and opened my window to demonstrate that I could open my window if I wanted to. I tried to warn him that a spider lived there but he misinterpreted it. Her web is ruined and she's nowhere to be found. I feel kind of bad. I should have been more forceful in defending her.

I only really like to sleep now. That's all I want to do and all I try to do. I stay up really late so I can sleep longer.

I'm really unhealthy thanks to my sedentary lifestyle.

I found some cool new music for free on a nice record label.

That's all that's been going on in my life.

>>22153
But the amount of time you gain by sleeping, isn't that some amount similar to the amount of extra time you spend awake? It'd be much better to buy sleeping pills (like Benadryl, with the active chemical diphenhydramine acting as a good knock-out drug) and abuse them.

>>22149
I thought I was the only one here that likes/is considerate towards spiders. I'm sorry for your loss.

>>22138

Day XX+1 progress: 1383/2000 (~69,2%)

>>22149
The spider should be fine if he didn't squash it. Spiders repair or rebuild their webs daily, so it'll be business as usual for her, even if she had to set up shop in a different location.
>>22153
What's the name of the label?
>>22159
I like spiders as well, although I have been killing the brown recluses lately because I've just seen too many, and I sleep on the floor. I have quite a few common house spiders hanging out, and I like having them around. This morning I even saw that one of the larger ones has a recluse nearly three times it's size all gnarled up in it's web, which kind of blows my mind. The house spider was still feeding on it when I got home in the afternoon and it's abdomen had doubled in size. I tried taking some photos of it, but couldn't really get close enough to it without destroying the web.

It's late in the morning. I'm currently drinking wine, smoking from my e-cigarette and re-watching lain in my dark messy room. I'm so fucked up.

Surfed some textboards, listened to bad music, got groceries, and went to the big city where I'll be meeting some otaku over the next week.

Made some new online pals. Played Serious Sam 3 BFE. Fun game, that.
Now to decide how to spend the night.

>>22172
Oh, and I listened to a lot of this.
Great album if you're into ambient. Sleep Research Facility makes some fantastic stuff.

>>22161

Day XX+2 progress: 1787/2000 (~89,4%)

... Did I make a mistake? 1787 sounds wrong. Was it 1687 afterall? Well, whatever.

>>22176
Man, those rocks look quite hard. (sorry)

I hung out with a /jp/er downtown today.

>>22179
My condolences.

I woke up, told myself I would do things, and sat in bed doing nothing all day. Just like every other day.

I did play around a bit with Ableton I guess, but I gave up because I need to learn more about producing so everything I make doesn't sound really flat and dull despite the composition itself not being that bad.

>>22181

same, minus the ableton part

>>22176

DayXX+π progress: 2000/2000 (100%)

できた! Took me a while but I finally finished it.
... Wait, what am I supposed to do with it now? I kinda need to use that table for other things, it's been a problem for a while now.
Sigh, I guess I'll buy myself an A0 sheet and move it to that; hope it won't fall apart altogether.
On the other hand I can't deny there's this Sim City-esque desire to just destroy it right now. It really took a while and the second I finished it I thought 'okay, time to tear it apart'.

It was fun overall; can't deny there were some frustrating moments when I couldn't put a single piece in it's place for 10 straight minutes and I wanted to quit altogehter right there and then but when things were going well it was a blast.
I think I'll end up doing this again some day. I'd like to try a 3000 pieces one but I ain't buying a table just to play with some puzzles and my only one is too small for 3000.

>>22177

Surprisngly the rocks weren't as hard as I believed they'd be. They weren't easy either but they were far from the hardest part. I spent tons of time on areas like the sky or the black spaces between the rocks/mountains. You have absolutely nothing to go by except for the shape because the puzzles are exactly the same shade of one color. Same goes for the forrest on the left side - I thought it'd be very easy but it turned out to be impossible to put together based on looks and I ended up going by nothing but shape again.
This taught me a lot about how to choose puzzles. I picked this one based on looks alone; I just liked this picture. Turns out there's much more to look out for.

I want money to buy a PS3 and the new GTA game. I might have to go on the dole, but that would mean having to leave the house and talk to people.

I read maybe 10 pages of a book. It's annoying that I have so many books to read. Whenever I start one, I get half way through and then see something on my bookshelf that interests me more, so I feel like dropping it and starting that instead, but then the cycle would just repeat itself.

I really need more motivation to focus and do things. Maybe I have ADHD... I bet I don't and I'm just a lazy retard though.

Today I discovered CuteStat.

>>22209
Those are old.

>tohno-chan.com is 3 years 6 months old

Holy crap have I seriously been on this website for three years already.

>>22212

That's wrong to be honest, it's more like 3 years and 9 months, we're turning 4 this October.

Four more years!

Decided to start backing stuff up to do a wipe/fresh install on my PC.

The reason being back when The Witcher 2 came out, I pirated it and was able to play at mid-high without issues. I bought it on sale a while back, tried to play it today and had troubles even running it on low without slowdown.

I don't think any component of my PC has died or anything, so I'm doing that wipe and sucking the dust out while I'm at it.

>>22224
Finished!
Also got invited to what.cd today and bought a seedbox with my magical NEET gold.
Good times ahead.

I got high, listened to Radiohead's Amnesiac album while looking at pictures of Rei Ayanami.

I finally found a Zinogre in free hunt, and I have used a vacuum for the first time in years.

A few days ago I went to Victoria, Canada to meet an online "friend" who never showed up. I slept through the train ride home.

Fuck you, ticks

>>22234
inb4 ticks deletes this post

>>22234

Haruhi, I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm in my old hometown right now, visiting my brother. Everything has changed in just six years. It was very painful to see the old farmland destroyed by housing development.

I was helping my dad move today and while moving a wardrobe a shoebox fell on my head.

Inside was maybe £3000 in banknotes.

I'm not sure what to do so I hid it in a bag he was putting in the attic.

Would he miss it?

>>22240
You know I don't think many people were on her side but you're not helping your case by doing that.

>>22240

I wish she would have tricked you into a bad neighborhood instead, so there would be a chance of you getting stabbed to death.

>>22243
Tokiko, someone submitted that picture of you in the army camo for /k/s annual picture mosaic.

Its was really funny to the 2 or 3 /jp/ers who saw it.

I fapped to the same picture of my waifu six times today.

>>22248
The sad thing is, I'm genuinely quite impressed with your achievement.

Today is my 21st birthday. Nothing much has changed but at now I'm completely responsible for all of my actions. I got Schoenberg's Fundamentals of Musical Composition and a cellphone as presents, even though I don't ever use a cellphone and have noone to call.

>>22250
Congratulations, only 9 more to go!

I too made 21 on this year and got a cellphone I have no use for. Jealous for the Schoenberg though, all I have is a sometimes illegible scan.

>>22249
So am I. Even at the absolute height of my pubescent frustrations I never did it more than three times in one day, and even that seemed entirely excessive at the time.

normie as HECK dude

I went to the pride parade in my city, and it was pretty gay I would say!

>>22257
>>22258
I want /jp/ to leave.

>>22267
where is /jp/ at?

I found a fledgling starling today and brought it home. Over the last couple of weeks I've found two injured fledglings, a sparrow and a cardinal, and both died pretty quickly on me, but the experiences really left me wanting to raise a bird as a pet. And although I've only had this lively guy for one evening, he's a lot of fun, hopping about and just being disgustingly cute. I'd already done a ton of research before finding it, and he seems old and healthy enough that I'm optimistic, especially since I had no trouble getting him to eat. And I thought that it would perhaps be a bit too old to become imprinted on me, but it didn't seem afraid of me at all by the end of the evening, even falling asleep in my lap as I was at the computer.

>>22277
That's fucking adorable

>>22277
Holy shit, nigga, that's cute. And what do you mean by "too old"? How old do you think he is?

I cutted a really big part of the left side of my left hand's thumb when opening the door to get the phone. This annoying woman kept telling me about bank investments while all I wanted to do was treat my wound. I clipped off the skin that came out and put a bandage on it but it's completely marked by blood. I hope this doesn't become anything too serious.

>>22279
I'm thinking it's 20-25 days old, definitely in the early fledgling stage. It can hop it's ass off and manage a clumsy descending flight across the room. I'd thought that imprinting occurred more in the nestling phase, but this must not be entirely the case with starlings.
The bird is almost doing too well, and I imagine it will be quite a handful as it grows up, good fortune willing. I don't have a proper cage yet, but it enjoys hanging out in my little screen-windowed cubby.

>>22280
I hope you didn't forget to put alcohol on it. You need to clean it every once in a while so that it doesn't get infected.

>>22287
I just used some disinfectant in it. It's already healing considerably quick.

The little starling is doing awesome. I didn't think he was going to live through the night of the 3rd, he was barely standing and showing what I thought to be symptoms of pneumonia. In the morning, I tried setting out a small dish of water. He took a couple of tentative steps in it, took a drink on his own, and then went crazy giving himself a bath and splashing everywhere. It was like flipping a switch, and suddenly he started eating again and hopping around happily. Today, he's beginning to take clumsy flights across the room, and peck and prod at every little thing.

Here he is asleep on my wrist while I was typing.

>>22338
That's beyond cute anon, take good care of him.

>>22338
You should raise him to be like Brook's crow in the Shawshank Redemption!

>>22338
That's fucking cute, anonymous. Also, don't worry, if he lived through the third night, he'll probably live forever now.

Teach the bird to do your bidding

My vacations have started a day ago and I'm already bored out of my mind. I cannot take having an entire free day because I cannot use my time for anything and just waste my entire day in front of the computer. The times I've already contemplated suicide were many so far. I hope I get to do something out of my time in the upcoming weeks.

>>22351
>I cannot use my time for anything
Care to expand on that? I often get caught in the same line of thought, that I end up wasting my day because I'm rendered incapacitated of making a better use(though I heavily suspect I'm just a whiny bitch trying to evade guilt)

>>22352
I just don't have any initiative to do anything. The last two days that have just passed have left me in a state of despair in which I feel like I'm losing my time completely. I feel lost and my body feels physically ill and in pain. I just wish my days got better.

Bought a second older CRT monitor for 5 bucks, and also a coffee machine. I never really got into coffee, and everybody says go beans or bust, so I thought I'd try it. I definitely prefer it black, but I feel it could do with a little chocolate. Might try mixing some Milo in next time.

Now I'm playing Shogun 2 and Jumping Flash while waiting for tonight's FFXIV ARR beta test.

This is the most fulfilling day I've had in a while.

I wonder if there have been any cases where anyone actually gets gender reassignment surgery so they can become the little girl.

>>22382

If you got the operation as an adult, then AT BEST you'd be a 3DPD woman. Not worth it.

>>22382
Who exactly is this little girl everyone wants to become? I assume she must be someone extremely famous for her the be referenced as 'the' little girl.

>>22380
what server you on for ARR?

Started learning japanese today.
Working on that hiragana. Hopefully will learn them all in three days total.

I made a TTL to coax audio converter, that sounds impressive but I fucked it up a couple of times and I was working until 7am.

I still can't even use my speakers because they're unshielded and make my tv need to be degaussed. I did this instead of re-enrolling in uni and writing my mother's eulogy

>>22385
Ragnarok. Friend asked me to, I have no idea what a legacy server is.

And I'm very tempted to keep playing now, as the atmosphere in this game is fantastic, but I don't want to have to re-do much when I play after the wipe.

I don't THINK they're wiping after the open beta. When it does go open and then released I don't know what server I'll play on, another friend said Excalibur...

>>22386

がんばってね

>>22391
yeah there wont be a wipe after phase 4 of the beta, unless there is some game breaking bug or reason they need to.

I'll be playing on Hyperion with a couple of friends

>>22397
Good to know, I think I'll stop playing soon and wait for OB, whenever that is.

All my friends seem to be wanting to play on different servers, so I really don't know what I'll do other than avoid any servers that 4chan is using.

>>22391
Your character has nice thigh highs.

>>22399
Yes, I love the armor design in this game so much.
Outside of the manbutt subligars, anyway.

anyone ever consider that school shooters and people who commit massacres doing a lot of good for the environment? killing 10 kids is obviously a minuscule event on a global scale but it still must be a million times more efficient than driving a Prius in terms of greenhouse gases saved.

>>22405
I agree that overpopulation will be the end of us all, but I wouldn't want to be killed to delay that.

>>22405
An accurate assessment should take how eco-friendly the weapons used are(e.g. giving preference to weapons that don't rely on ignition, or at least assuring there's no heavy metals on the ammunition primers), the substances generated by the corpses decomposition, whether the wood for the coffins is properly certified, assure that the crime scene is near a police station so the cops can reach it without using cars and even the status of all victims(imagine if the gunner kills a prominent climate scientist). In times of severe climate change every process must be thoroughly analyzed and optmized for minimal environmental impact, specially the ones aimed at reducing such impacts.

>>22407
my whole point is you don't need to analyze all those little things; simply remove 10 future people from the planet, you would be doing a lot more good.

>>22406
I think the population is projected to stabilize soon but our current population is already high enough to ruin the biosphere.

>>22406
Everyone knows overpopulation is a problem, but no one wants to get their hands dirty and fix the problem. You also aren't gonna find too many people that would line up to help the problem. Best and most practical thing we can do for now is legalize suicide.

Population decreases when education increases. It's not a difficult solution.

>>22410
Are you saying china is full of retards?

>>22411
Comparatively, yes. China has shit education outside of the upper classes.

The only reason the US population is increasing is fucking Mexicans.

>>22409
>Best and most practical thing we can do for now is legalize suicide.

I believe suicide is legal already. I mean, no one is going to come to arrest you if you kill yourself.

>>22413
Some places (notably the US) will press charges against you for attempting and failing to kill yourself.

Other places will find other ways to charge you. Tried to jump from a bridge? You tied up emergency crews and cost the state thousands. Also endangered others. Chemical mix? You endangered others as well as emergency crews.

Succeed at attempt

>>22409
Best thing to do is curb population growth. But again, nobody wants to do that because it would screw up their economy. I am sure it would take a disaster before people kick into gear.

>>22413
In many countries suicide is illegal. They need you as a unit of productivity they can exploit.

>>22414
You just have to do it correctly, then.

I found Triangle Shades in this store in this game, and a wig with a pompadour. My character feels a little cooler, but I'm not sure if that truly counts since I'm playing Animal Crossing...

I've started getting back into writing and performing music. I used to teach guitar at the local music store before giving it up (I became very disillusioned with the guitar as an instrument, as well as my abilities, once I discovered Prog Rock and Jazz) and since then I've not done much of anything at all, much to the dismay of my parents who felt I had natural talent. "Natural talent" is the result of practicing hours each day. Some are lucky enough to enjoy it, some aren't. I was one of the lucky few who enjoyed the work, enjoyed finding new voicings and working hours to refine them.

Discovering Electronic Music like Boards of Canada, Autechre, Flying Lotus and James Blake has really excited me. It's challenging every view I had of contemporary music (I was once a fairly typical "born in da rong generashun" closed-minded metal fan), and I'm loving it. I haven't been this excited about music in a long time, and I feel like I'm coming home. This time though, it's without my guitar. Now all I need is the money to fund my sound projects.

I'd also like to apologize for my walls of text.

Are you me, but played guitar instead of keyboard and viola, and actually ended up doing something with his life? Anyways if you want me to recommend you some electronic bands/albums I can.

>>22435
Last.fm has been really useful for me in finding new, good music. Both for the site's own recommendation feature and from friends.

As were /mu/ sharethreads a fair while ago, but last I checked the majority of them had turned into request threads.

>>22435
Electronic music doesn't cost anything to make if you have a reasonable desktop. All of the software can be pirated. Don't spend big on monitors or anything like that until you've got some experience.

It seems every single summer the same thing happens to me.

I post like usual on my usual boards.
I find some boards increasingly intolerable while others stay relatively untouched.
I avoid those boards for a little while but the only boards I go to now are relatively quiet.
I eventually go back to those boards.
I get upset again to the point where I'm completely fed up with all imageboards.

It's also strange that this usually happens around July every summer but oh well.

>>22436
>ended up doing something with his life
Oh, not at all. I've long been a reclusive NEET like most others here. I was just lucky enough to have a like-minded friend be the proprietor of a less than successful music store once upon a time. Haven't held another job since.

>if you want me to recommend you some electronic bands/albums I can
Absolutely, that would be great!

>>22438
I was looking at buying a few amps and microphones, which are never cheap unless you're looking to sound like a wasp trapped in a polystyrene cup. I've got a few guitars and bass guitars gathering dust, so I might as well put them to use.

>>22437
I've been using RateYourMusic and /mu/ charts. Never bothered with Last.fm, but that will change tonight.

I just realized that it's summer.

>>22467
summerfag detected

>>22461
>Absolutely, that would be great!

I'll just assume you can find these yourself in high enough quality, if not look for kuru-kuru on the irc I might not be online depending on the time, but some good starters would be:

Orbital - In Sides, kind of a mix between the experimental non generic stuff and the more generic dance techno stuff

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85–92

Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile, Double album, takes multiple listens, lyrics are important, there are also a lot of rock and other elements mixed in really creative album

Secede - Bye Bye Gridlock Train and Tryshasla as already mentioned in this thread

The Prodigy - The Experience, This album isn't serious or experimental like the others, more fun dancey stuff

That should be good enough for now. Could be you know some of these already depending how deep into electronic you are. Keep in mind fairly good speakers/headphones are best for this kind of music. I'm somewhat in your position too with the whole starting to explore electronic, or at least the experimental stuff although I am assuming I am a good deal further than you, could be wrong though. Ah yeah and let me know what you think, onegai. Always love hearing people's opinions on music.

>>22470
And myself, I will recommend Emeralds.
http://www.last.fm/music/Emeralds
The album "Does It Look Like I'm Here?" especially.

>>22470
Only heard SAW, NIN and Orbital out of that lot. I'm giving Secede a quick try on Youtube and it's great. I'll start there and let you know

Here's a couple of tunes I'm really enjoying at the moment for your pleasure, though you've probably heard these already.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk7n6FGAkDE
Four Tet - Rounds Album, track "Hands"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiwi7d0f91Y
Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica Album, track "Replica"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-3A9Yj_96U
Mark Pritchard - Ghosts EP, track "Ghosts"

>>22471
Reminds me of Tangerine Dream. Downloading Does It Look Like at the moment.

I thought I had made two friends with some people I met and found that had some interest in common with mine, but I sent them one email to each and neither have yet responded them, despite me having sent them a long time ago. I guess I'll just stay without friends a while longer.

>>22476
If it was from that thread over at /so/ with people using throwaway gmail accounts, a few had trouble accessing those after awhile.

>>22477
I don't know what thread you are talking about. I've met these two persons in real life; they probably don't even know anime.

>>22478
Oh, okay.

I used my Mother's computer to re-download the Fate/Stay Night visual novel. That's all nice and good, but I accidentally forgot to delete the torrent file after transferring the extracted folder to my barely working netbook. So now my Mother's probably found out about my otaku related hobbies. All those years of hiding it down the drain.

I'm enjoying the game, though. It's been a while.

I'll try turning my computer off for a week or two. Recently, I haven't done anything but wake up, browse the inter and sleep. I have alot to study and alot to read so I guess this'll help me out somehow. I hope this experience serves me well as a way to control some kind of vice I have over using the computer.

I'm impatient. I have no one to talk to. It's been some weeks since I've left my house and I've been almost always inside my room. Life's horizon is looking dim and blurry and I'm extremely impatient. Fuck all of this.

I finally plucked a 1.5 inch ingrown hair that was growing out of my nipple.

I listened to this while playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Felt great.

I will take out the manga off from my book shelves later today. I've got many volumes of Vagabond, Evangelion, Summer Wars, some of the japanese volumes of Joshiraku and Gantz. I will probably end up throwing them somewhere deep into my closet, although I would like to keep the quality of Vagabond and Joshiraku intact. I guess I just don't like manga as much as I did anymore.

>>22531
Speaking about game/music relation, I remember listening to Kotoko's songs a lot when I was playing Starcraft 1, now I feel a strong association between these two whenever I listen to her songs.

Ugh, I think my motherboard is fucked or something. My display driver has been crashing a lot with firefox and sometimes playing certain games, and my connection is going nuts, too (router is plugged directly into this computer, the wireless connection to the family computer is working 100% fine).

At one point everything but the mouse froze up and when I moved it, it kept making a beeping noise as I was moving it.

Ran speedfan and coretemp, CPU and GPU seem fine, but speedfan said "AUX" had a temperature of 80 or so. Not sure what AUX is but I think it must be the motherboard fan or something?

I don't know what to do. I don't have the money for a replacement right now. I hope it can last til my next pay, I don't want to have to borrow from family or anything. I have 0 technology knowledge too, except for having replaced a few parts. I guess I just take note of where I unplug things from and transfer the parts over one at a time.

>>22558
Scratch that, just saw the "MB" reading.
I really don't know.

>>22558
>>22559
The AUX may or may not mean something, sometimes it's just not connected to anything and generates crazy values, which seem to be the case here.
Now the beeps you mentioned earlier could mean something. I presume they come from the motherboard(as opposed to the speakers)? Sometimes that happens when the temperature exceeds a certain threshold(usually visible on the BIOS configuration), other than that I don't really expect the MB to make sounds after booting(unless you tell it to do so, of course).

>>22560
The beeping came through my headphones as I moved the mouse. It really weirded me out.
But I just sucked some dust out of my PC and everything seems to be going swell now, I really don't know.
Only consistent problem I have is that a fan really grinds on cold days until the room/PC heat up. I think it's the power supply fan, which I just replaced.

It has been a while since the anonymous with the fledgeling small bird thing posted last time. I hope the bird didn't die.

I don't know whether I should focus on drawing or basic HTML. On one hand, I want to make OC, but on the other, I want to improve my blog. I don't know where to start with either, so I'm at a loss.

>>22565
Basic HTML and CSS are pretty easy. You could probably learn enough to make your site look nice and flashy in a week max, and this is coming from a dumb university drop-out.
Try this http://www.w3schools.com/ it was more helpful to me than any of the textbooks/lab books.

>>22565
You don't really need any HTML for running a good blog, insofar as a blog (since the important is the writing/content), so go for the drawing.

>>22561
Scratch that, it's still happening. Whether I'm playing a demanding game or just browsing the net listening to music.

This didn't happen before I reformatted the thing, and I just saw that there were 50 optional updates I have yet to install, so I'm trying that and googling some other stuff.

Is there a tool or anything I can run to check for potentially damaged hardware, just in case? Or some general kind of diagnosis program?

I should say that when it freezes, it doesn't blue screen or anything. It just stops altogether and I have to power off/on it again. It gave a blue screen only ONCE out of the 30 or so times it's crashed now. The error it gave at that time was "Clock interrupt not received."

I'd post this in the /mt/ help desk thread but it seems super dead.

>>22576
Already ran memtest on the machine? Booting up on a LiveCD and watching if it keeps stable might help ruling out drivers and software-related issues as the cause of the problem.

And about the /mt/ thread, have you considered that perhaps it's dead because nobody has asked for help there in a while?

>>22578
I haven't. I'll do that now, thank you.
>have you considered that perhaps it's dead because nobody has asked for help there in a while?
Yes, but I also figured that because the board overall is much slower than /ot/, that less people would be checking there for new replies.

Pass completed, no errors.

Classes begin again tommorow. My vacation was nothing but sorely wasted time and days and horribly painful loneliness. I just want to die.

>>22580
I feel you. I did practically nothing of what I had planned to do.

>>22581
I ended two of the books I had planned to end, out of the enormous amount of them. I also tried to create some kind of schedule, some kind of goal, but I always left it for tommorow, and ended up browsing image boards and wasting my month completely.

I can't articulate my feelings. I am very angry, very alone, very sad. I'm a fat, miserable, lonely, bitter man. I'm rotting meat.

That will do, won't it?

>>22582
I finished one of the books I was reading, read some plays and papers that weren't in my plans but that's all, everything else had negligible progress. And yes, having a schedule didn't help me much either, at most it kept me from neglecting some activities throughout the whole of the vacations.

Yesterday I got out my Dreamcast and I played PSO while drinking a diet energy drink. Surprisingly, I had a lot of fun.

Finally finished Serial Experiments Lain.
I guess it was too deep for me, I really don't see why all the hype

>>22589

Finished playing Portal 2(the single player campaign) with my sister. I almost cried at the last music.

Google Reader is my homepage, I am still carrying the torch!

>>22589
I didnt get it either.

>>22589
>>22595
http://geocities.haggenso.org/Lain/grand.htm
This website helped me a lot. I love the idea that the Internet is the next step in evolution, and that this network of formless "people" is so tangible, so blatant and embedded in our consciousness now, and yet so hard to grasp, as if the Internet really were a higher power that we are incapable of fully comprehending.
Lain is definitely difficult. Impenetrable, cryptic, convoluted beyond belief. It takes time to come to any satisfying conclusion. Everybody takes something different away from it.

>>22591
I played Portal 2 with my sister mid-last year. She doesn't normally play video games, but I insisted Portal was worth her time. We had a lot of fun (well.. I had a lot of fun laughing at her frustration, anyway. I'd long since completed the game).
Made her watch Cowboy Bebop and Kino's Journey after she told me she'd seen Death Note and loved it around the same time. Right now I've loaned her some 3D stuff. The Wire, Breaking Bad and a bunch of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (a new favourite of hers, and blatant indication that she's a relative of mine).

I love my sister. I don't think I've ever told her that since we haven't really been talking for long, but I ought to sometime. She's on her way to shutting herself inside just like me now that she's in her second year of high school. Maybe I should talk to her more, try and instil something positive.

>>22596
Yeah, do nice stuff for your sister.

Something I've imported some three months ago finally arrived.

>>22598
I know you're supposed to take it easy, but that's beyond lazy.

Played yet another 4/10 game about halfway through before quitting.
Either I've only been playing really shitty games lately or I need a break from them.

>>22601
Which game?

>>22602
The first Armored Core.

Things that made it not enjoyable for me:

- Aiming is sluggish, L2 to aim up and R2 to aim down is really awkward.
- Because of the above, the game gets really difficult because you have to struggle with the controls but the AI doesn't.
- At least half of the stages have no music for no apparent reason.
- Some of the stages are incredibly irritating, such as a mandatory stage (game over on failure, rather than taking you back to the mission selection screen with new missions) with platforming, with those awful controls and the platforms themselves shooting at you.
- When it's not too hard, it's too easy.

I would rather play Front Mission, as it does the two things from AC that I did enjoy right (plot and mecha customization) without all the things I disliked.

I just went to take a shower and I accidentally saw myself in the mirror again and now I'm sitting in my closet crying and trying to calm down and listening to k-on! music and I want to die please kill me right now

>>22605
Been there. Some things, like weight, I might be able to do something about and I have; others, like age or deformities, I really can't mend them so I've had to accept them and try to find/build value somewhere else within myself.

I need something fun to do while I listen to music. Video games have gotten boring, lately. Music is the only thing I've been enjoying.

If I can't think of anything, maybe I'll just close my eyes and go with the flow.

>>22608
I usually talk on the IRC or browse image-boards while listening to music. Sometimes I just kind of sit there, some other times I look up stuff about the artist I'm listening to, depends on the album I guess.

>>22609
I've mostly been hunting for fanart on pixiv, but I'll run out of things to find it for, soon.

IRC (and group chats in general) aren't really my thing, and imageboards have gotten awfully boring, lately. Though /vr/ is nice, it's awfully slow.

Soon ARR will come around, though. But I'll probably get burnt out on that within a week, too.

>>22610
Don't really know what to say. I was sort of in the same position of listening to music and f5ing image-boards all day when I wasn't playing a game I would get sick of or watching anime.

Then I was forced onto the IRC to ask a mod a question and ended up just staying, it's given me a lot more to do and filled a hole inside of me that was probably there from lack of socializing, which is something humans unfortunately have to do since we are social creatures. Image-boards are nice and all, but T-C as we all know it is very slow, and any other image-board is bound to be filled with Ford Drivers and other things I try to escape from.

On another note, what are some of your favorite albums recently?

>>22611
It's a difficult situation to be in. Maybe I will get into movies or something.

And I know what you mean with the social thing, it took me awhile to find some online friends to fill that hole. I much prefer 1 on 1s to group chats.

If you like any of these but can't find them, I can upload them to zippyshare.

I found out that a certain VN with a female lead I'm rather fond of got a mobile remake (???), and she was completely redesigned, to the point of unrecognizability. Not upset, just really confused. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.

Thought I chose a better image than I did, the new girl has blue eyes.

Inflamed a disc in my lower back. Been going for walks and laying with my legs raised. Yeesh, my pay week has been ruined.

Ouch. Did they give you any decent painkillers, or are you just having to make do with what you have?

I finally went back to university after failing to kill myself last semester. My therapist said that it might help if I had some friends, so I tried talking to a 3DPD who sat next to me in a class.

She seemed really nice and she was struggling with the material so I offered to help her in the library later that day. She agreed and I gave her my number to text in case something came up.

Then I waited for a fucking hour in the rain while she blew me off without even letting me know. Fuck people, this is what happens when you don't listen to Tohno-chan and try to give people a chance for some stupid fucking reason. Haruhi I want to die for even thinking for a second that there were some good people in this world.

>>22624
There are plenty of great people in this world. Unfortunately they all stay inside.

>>22625
This, unfortunately.

>>22624
It was a normie girl. What did you expect? There are some normal guys that are decent people, but I have only known 2 or 3 normie girls that are okay.

>>22624
well... welcome back, anyhow.

Found some nice new ambient and ate a bunch of fruit today. Cheap fruit might be the only good thing about summer.

Strong dance beat, too bad I cant dance.

>>22624
Pretty damn strong of you to just start talking to a girl you dont know like that. You should avoid women though, they're all out to harm and destroy you. Plus, they never have anything interesting to say.

I checked out all of the songs but need to relisten to most of them, but the one that caught my attention the most was 'Under the water it glowed' from Eluvium, such a haunting, beautiful ambient piece, so I downloaded the rest of the album and it was very good, the clarinet on 'There wasn't anything' felt a bit forced though. 'Zerthis' was fucking mind blowing. The weird thing about that album is at first you are like 'alright cool' then the song gets stuck in your head and you keep coming back and it becomes more and more haunting each time. I'll check out some of the rest later meanwhile here is some of the stuff I've been getting into, although I'm more at the tip of the iceberg than you are with a lot of these genres so you may know some of these already:

Such great ambience in the form of post-rock, the beginning ambient segments can be boring for the impatient but the part at the end makes it worth it and the other stuff builds on you over time. Really haunting stunning masterful track (and album).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVvjXJentik
I'm sure you already know this one, very moving track, sort of like floating in warmth and peace, but sort of gives off a feeling of loneliness too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0LIO138Z-A
Very physcedilic song, who needs drugs when stuff like this exists.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MR62N14H3Y
Fun song, very dancey. Not much more to say.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQFAp9crWrU
One of the best albums I've heard recently, utterly unique.

There's more but I think that's good enough for now.

>>22653
>You should avoid women though, they're all out to harm and destroy you.

Indeed, just stick with 2D.

Yeah, Eluvium is fantastic. His other albums are the same kind of stuff, except for Similes which has vocals, and is a lot... "warmer" I'd say.

Haruhispeed I need to look into, I remember having them in my library at some point but never got around to listening to them much.

Slowdive also rings a bell, another discography to download!

You've probably heard of Mogwai and Grails by now, but if you haven't and you're a fan of post-rock, you owe it to yourself.

One other artist I forgot to recommend, Worrytrain. Ambient, electronic, neo-classical, noise. Haunting is honestly the best word I could use to describe his work.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhG5JSzrIp8

Try not to fall asleep listening to Fog Dance, My Moth Kingdom though. I made that mistake, once. Probably shaved a year or two off of my life when Thundertrance Interlude kicked in.

>>22657
When you go on a niche site that hates women with a small user base and are surprised that people actually hate women you are retarded. It's like going into a Chinese restaurant and being surprised when they serve Chinese. It would be like going to I don't know let's say a religious site and saying 'I really hate thoz satan worshiperz amiright guys am i fittin in yet' Point is it's obvious when the rules are full of anti-3D rules and people constantly talking about hating women and a fucking board dedicated to loving 2D women that this site has no interest in that kind of thing and popular opinion will be that 3D is to be avoided and is shit. The nice thing about the internet is you can find like minded people easier.

This is /fb/ material so mods feel free to delete my post the guy is probably just looking for reactions anyways and I couldn't help but take the bait.

Alright I'll let you know what I think, also it would be nice to hear what you think of the stuff I recommended. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless is another one I'm listening to right now, it's actually admittedly my first vinyl rip I've tried. Apparently £250,000 went into the production of this album so it deserves the best quality.

>>22658
I thought this site was for NEETs and otaku, at least it was back when I started posting here (when AnonIB hikki board went down several years ago).

>The nice thing about the internet is you can find like minded people easier

Thats why your type of posting is dangerous. Some of you young guys are obviously going through an awkward phase where you decide that you hate women, fine, but I think you are doing real damage by broadcasting these stupid ideas and creating an echo chamber.

>>22661
>I think you are doing real damage by broadcasting these stupid ideas and creating an echo chamber.

The only place I broadcast it is here it's not like I go onto other websites and preach how 2D is the way to go or something.

>Some of you young guys are obviously going through an awkward phase

Stop assuming things, 90% of the people here are in their 20s.

>I thought this site was for NEETs and otaku, at least it was back when I started posting here

It is my understanding that the site was originally created for people in waifu threads on /a/ to have a place to talk and escape from Ford Drivers. It is yes a place to discuss otaku things and yes a large section of these people happen to be NEETs since hikki otaku losers are likely to not have jobs. But it is also popular opinion here that 3D is shit, Ford Drivers constantly butting in with that stuff and saying things like you are saying now and not letting us discuss our waifus and otaku things in peace is one reason the site was created in the first place. Waifu threads would be full of people coming in and ridiculing us calling us stuff like you are doing now or saying we are batshit insane. So this site was created to run away from that, and it pisses me off that these people follow us here.

But once again this is really becoming meta-shit now so if you want to argue back with something just do so on /fb/ otherwise I will see you don't have the respect or decency to do this and don't care enough to try to prove your point and I'll assume you are just another troll who decided to make fun of 'those guys with the anime wifes.' The fact that you are using reaction images ridiculing us and acting clueless about something that is stated clearly in the rules and is a well known fact around here and was just discussed recently on /fb/ shows me that you are just looking to get reactions out of people.

It seems that nobody can mention 3Ds without this ban-evading idiot showing up with a reaction image from /b/ every time.

>>22661
Awesome overgeneralizations, sis. And I'm sure by your distorted standards, merely being born male is enough of a qualification to be labeled a "woman-hater".

If we're going to talk about girls can they be cute anime girls instead?

>>22665
Yes.

>>22665
Please, I'm sorry for bringing it up in the first place

>>22667

Daily reminder that Cherno is the best girl.

Sitting here wrapped up in a blanket after a terrible trainwreck of a morning.

Thanks for reminding me of Black Emperor, anon. Feels perfect right now. Downloaded the whole discography. Next is Slowdive.

So lavabit was taken down.
Time to spend the day trying to change the email addresses of so many of my accounts.

>>22689
If you can afford it, consider getting a domain. A lot of hosted email services support using them, and if the service goes down or you stop liking their policies or whatever, you can just point the domain to a new service.

Day wasn't really anything special, went to the store to get some juice and rewatched Wayne's World for old times' sake.
Apparently the biggest storm of the year is about to hit Finland in the next few hours, waiting to see some thundering and listening to good music. Also enjoying my cranberry juice.

>>22690
Sounds interesting. Is there a tutorial for this or something out there?

Blew all the day away reading on the NSA scandal and some other historical incidents. It's quite a dangerous way to do nothing productive all day while thinking you're getting arcane knowledge on the workings of society.

>>22691
That was sort of disappointing, apparently the storm went past further east.

>>22692
Each email service and domain registrar/DNS provider's going to have its own web application thingy for doing it. Basically the email service will give you one or more host names that you take to the DNS provider and add them to a table of DNS records. Then you go back to the email provider and tell them your domain. Any remotely popular service is going to have guides for this stuff.

>>22697
Adorable .gif man.

>>22699
What are you even going on about?

>>22700
say that one more fucking time i swear to Haruhi

>>22702
What are you even going on about?

There will be builders in my house from Monday to Thursday next week. I can't take it easy even when my mum only has one friend over. It's going to be me on my own with a bunch of strangers in the house making a tonne of noise. I don't know what I'm going to do since I won't be able to sleep through it.

I saw a veteran begging for cash in the street, I didn't have any change on me so I ran into Starbucks and bought him the biggest, most succulent doughnut I could find, I thought it'd make him happy. I caught up with him and tried to give it to him but he made a weird gesture, muttered something and kept walking. I don't understand. Maybe he thought I was playing a joke on him or something. It's really sad, imagine what kinds of things a person has to go through to be wary of someone offering a free doughnut on the street... I ended eating it myself while browsing TC

>>22708
You must've not read any of the homeless threads in /so/, but the homeless do not want food, they want money. Food is given out by Christians and other such people, so that isn't a problem. Finding a nice, comfortable place, however, is. Also, they want things like drugs, alcohol, sex, and things of that nature because they're still 3D shit.

>>22708
most panhandlers only want money. You're lucky he didn't take it and trow it at you.

>>22709
for homeless people food is not the biggest problem, as it is plentiful. the problem is shleter. paying rent is very expensive and there arent many places for homeless people to stay.

>>22708
What an ungrateful shit.
Aside from TC, most homeless people are out there because of some sort of drug addiction though. I see them everywhere in downtown Orlando blocking sidewalks and shit. Some dude was even holding up a sign saying he needed money for whiskey and drugs.
They are truly disgusting and I can't have an atom of sympathy for walking trash like them.

>>22713
Hard to say what they've gone through in order to start taking serious drugs. When the situation never gets better, or simply becomes worse and worse no matter the effort, any kind of person will break at some point. They might've fought valiantly for quite a while. I hope you'll keep that in mind.

homeless people are worthless.
they should be rounded up and murdered.
barring that they should be left to starve.
they all have an excuse,but reality is that nobody worthwhile ends up in that circumstance.
in fact, a lot of people who are less than worthwhile easily avoid being total bums.
homeless people are the lowest of the low, they're just sewage.

>>22717
>they should be rounded up and murdered.

I was on a train a few days ago. It was nice to just relax in the big city where you're just a faceless being in the crowd, you just blend in. I feel very much at home in huge cities and large crowds, it gives anonymity. A girl asked if she could sit by me on the train and I didn't want to be rude so I said yes, but we didn't talk at all and she eventually fell asleep on my shoulder. I didn't really know what to feel.

>>22717
not sure if you are trying to be sarcastic but the same could be said of NEETs

>>22717
Go back to reading Ayn Rand, kid.

>>22717

>>22717
Homelessness is a very complicated issue and I think it irresponsible to make such a stark catch-all statement as "they should be rounded up and murdered". Certainly there are a substantial amount of homeless who simply choose to not work but the collateral damage that would come from eliminating anyone without an address is simply inhumane.

>>22714
I guess you're right. But they're crossing the line when they get in other peoples' way expecting them to put up with their shit. That pisses me off more than anything. If they acted like actual human beings, then I would have sympathy for them.

I found that Gorillaz had a tag on pixiv with quite a bit of fanart. Cool stuff.

I went walking for the first time in a while. Since I've already seen all of the area around where I live, and because it was raining, I decided to walk around the unused property of a quarry that is nearly next door. The gate was locked so to avoid being seen jumping over, I went a secret route through a hole in a wire fence in the forest. I ended up finding out I live next to a river and didn't know it. I also was startled by a turkey in the middle of a quiet gravel forest path when he fly past me. After that I came across a spider web around a yard long with a large spider in the center, which scared me, but I thought nothing of it once I ran past. It turns out that there are hundreds of spiders like that in the forest, and for the next 2 hours I was dodging and running past spider webs. In the end the path was just a large circle and I got home soaking wet. I'm currently sick from being in the rain so long then coming inside. I think I'll avoid forest from now on.

>>22729
Well, that's a nice picture you've described there.

I was going to do something constructive today but then I download monster girl quest 3.

I have a job at a theme park for the next two months.

It's a living I guess.

Had a bottle of wine, planned on watching some LoGH. Instead I'm lurking different imageboards and listening to some UG rap. Didn't think my plan through, I already have a short attention-span and alcohol only makes it worse, can't watch anime like this.

Google just died what the fuck.

>>22735
What are you talking about?

Google will never die. In fact, it'll be the most powerful force in the world by 2040.

My parents got me a new smartphone today for whatever reason, I never go outside anyway. It was nice of them though.

I rooted it anyhow and got some nice apps, Game Dev Story being one of them.

Literally burned through 5 hours straight playing this shit. I honestly tried to make decent games each time and they all bombed, but the one that sold the most copies ended up being a generic FPS. Oh the irony.

Still killing time til FFXIV ARR, I've been reading LPs, hoarding music and trying to replay games.

Like Tomba. This, Jumping Flash and Croc were my childhood.

Today I woke up, practiced some piano, had a beer, played Mirror's Edge, watched some Free!, and went to bed. Well, I'm going to bed now, but, yeah. Pretty laid-back day.
At the risk of sounding too normie, I've been going outside more and more as of late, to play golf. It's more fun and relaxing than I'd have thought.

>>22740
I wouldn't call golf too 'normie', since it's something you can play at your own pace without the need for any social interaction at all. It's something I wouldn't mind trying again if I had a course near my home.

I just feel like killing myself yet again.

>>22743
hi five.

>>22744

'sup four?

>>22741
Golf is used as a social lubricant largely for (higher class) businesses, I guess like tea ceremonies or getting drunk at strip clubs

>>22754
In some cases, yeah. I never said it was exclusively a nonsocial sport, just that it could be played as such.

well I messed up pretty bad today and ended up getting kicked out of the game store, I was just trying to help the other customers there giving them recommendations and stuff then the manager came and told me I was making them uncomfortable, I got argumentative and in the end he told me to never come back. is he going to call the police if I show up there again?

I chose this picture because chitose is cute

Today I masturbated imagining how the birds that were flying in the area near my house would look like if they were half-girls. In the end, it was a big harpy orgy. I also threw most of the rest of my day away.

>>22762
Sounds like a fun pastime.
I spent all day trying to upload a .rar to dropbox while listening to some touhou arranges

>>22762

>>22762
dem legs

>>22762
<--- get a load of this gaylord

Finally got around to replacing my GPU.
Should've ordered it online, I forgot how awkward and anxious I get. My hands were shaking like I had parkinsons the whole time.

I think that I might've been asleep for more than 10 hours. I haven't really done anything to warrant such an amount of sleep, though.

Also, there's some stuff about SOPA being back in a new away or something.
