I'm astonished that no one made an important thread like this earlier!..

Is Haskell really worth the trouble?

3 Name: 🔰!ESpeoN/nPA : 1993-09-6421 17:12

So, I had to make that silly placeholder in the first post,
you'll appreciate it later, I'm sure.
But I have a problem and a long post describing it.

I'm trying to pick new glasses for myself. What should they be:
aviators (not sunglasses!) or "nerdy" with a thick plastic frame?
Or maybe those tiny things like John Lennon had?

I usually dress in smart casual or business casual
(though I don't really follow any dress codes –
I just wear what, I think, looks nice). So, a friend of mine suggested
nerdy glasses in order to "overdo" that general outlook and look ironic.
Yes, he's a hipster. This is why I'd like to hear your suggestions.

Help me, DQN!

Also, captcha "sowgly", I think it's pronounced like "So ugly."
I feel ashamed.

>>2, a friend of mine, a Haskell enthusiast, says, "Really! Because it will fix your brain."

I deduce that it's like BASIC, but the other way around. Or PHP, but divided by zero.

Go to http://4-ch.net/personal/ and leave individualist matters out of here.

The posters on that board are guaranteed to be at least 100% DQN.

butts butts lol

Is that board even alive? I bet that only you await me there to suggest something really special.

I'm feeling a trap.

It's a little slower than DQN, but still very much full of life.

9 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6426 08:50

My advice to most DQN Problems would be get off the Internet.

10 Name: 🔰!ESpeoN/nPA : 1993-09-6426 14:24

>>9 getting off the web is one thing, but receiving advice from people who has to get off the web is another. I made this thread with this point in mind.

And I still can't decide on the glasses.

11 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6426 15:38

Should I get a glow in the dark butt hat from Guam?

12 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6426 16:28

My advice to everybody in this thread is "don't think; feel"

13 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-6426 18:12

>>11
Rather you should ask yourself why you shouldn't get the hat.

I habitually cheat on a woman who would crawl across broken glass to please me.

I keep thinking I've hit my lowest point, but things can always get worse. I think she knows everything, and is turning the knife until I confess or kill myself. She will smile and I will do the work.

The trust I had in myself is gone. The integrity I valued is dissembled into half-truths and fake laughs. I hate that it turned out this way. I can't even say I was a "nice guy", I have always had such terrible interactions with everyone because of my selfishness.

I want to change that, /fit/, I want to overcome my fear and start acting like a genuine human being. My problem is that when I try and look at myself, I only see the bad and struggle to recognise when I went above the call of duty and pushed into altruism. Why can't I relax? How can I be a better Christian?

I suggest either aviators, or oversized square glasses if you can find some.

What op amps should I put on the Xonar Essence STX audio card?

What should I do with my life?

18 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-7095 02:31

>>17
You should do things that make you happy both in the short and long term.

19 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-7095 03:14

PINGAS or PEINOUS?

Dressing like a hipster is no longer ironic; it's fashionable. If you try to overdo the look like that, you will fail and accidentally look just right. So what you really should do is get some novelty sunglasses like star-shaped ones or Inuit snow goggles. You have to out-irony them in order to win.

My psychiatrist tells me that getting a job would help my depression. Should I? Working sucks, I don't want to work.

22 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-7095 05:04

>>21 having a job doesn't have to mean being Dilbert. You can try to figure out ways to monetize something you enjoy.

Try getting a part-time job if you live in one of these fancy first world countries.

You might then through your cash at some AFK fun stuff, like getting an used car and pimping it out or getting into serious races!

It's just an example, but there are many more interesting hobbies on which you can waste your time and money. And as an alt-text says http://gunshowcomic.com/631 "never think of anything as a hobby, ever."

Once you start doing something, your brain will eventually kick in and you might even invent something!

How do I get management experience? I have none, but I need it to move up. I think they want real stuff not just classes.

Getting a shitty retail job gave my life a sense of purpose, which helped me escape my depression.

The purpose, OTOH was to never work a shitty retail job again.

How do I ditch loser mentality and start living?

For me, I just basically got sick of it and just said NO to being that person. I left him behind. I just decided that I wanted more.

Never be satisfied. Find something you feel strongly about, and chase after it. Pursue it. Don't stop until you pin it down and hog tie it.

High stakes, life risking gambles.

Like chatting a random girl up?

31 Name: grey!C.MxxuCiTo : 1993-09-7097 12:15

>>30
Yeah! Yes! And you'll definitely lose out most of the time! The trick is realizing this is not a bad thing. Losing doesn't matter when you can just try again.

Now please go away or be more pleasant

I want to buy a cactus, a cute one like Mr Togemura. I'm not sure what kind to get though. I'm considering Parodia rutilans or Escobaria missouriensis subsp. asperispina. If anyone has experience with this type of thing, I would love to get some advice.

I can't find any sequels of the legendary Boatmurdered! Is it one of these: http://lparchive.org/title/dwarf%20fortress ? Is it the Journal of Kith?

I own a number of cacti, but I've no idea what species any of them are. Cacti in general are incredibly easy to look after; you pretty much can't go wrong with them.

What would you do if your child caused death to a pet (accidentally or purposely)?

42 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-7165 10:08

>>41 if it was deliberate, hang the dead animal above its bed for a few months. If it was an accident, that is quite sad - is the child old enough to understand death? Maybe it feels guilty enough

How do I write to a Japanese artist (of similar age) without sounding neither too rude or too flattering?

I tried to apply the worst advice ever, which is "be yourself" or "act casually", but the end result feels way too formal, boring and insincere. I hesitate to send that message.

44 Name: ( ˃ ヮ˂) : 1993-09-7201 19:13

>>43
Just keep it simple and honest. There's a good chance the artist will have to run it through an online translator, so don't get too flowery with your praise.
