I think I came to accept death yesterday. I had always feared it. As harsh or painful or tedious or boring as life can be, it is always in my mind better than the alternative. So I would wonder, early in the morning when I was still awake but had exhausted everything else I could think about, what the world would be like after me. If I would leave important things unfinished. If I would see a bright like or a deep blackness when I go. If I would see anything after that. It terrified me. But I was thinking, yesterday, about the idea of a Psychopomp. I am not a religious person. But for some reason the idea of some kindly, or even professionally indifferent, phantom standing before me and showing me where I must go is incredibly comforting. There is no choice to be made about it. There is no room for mistakes. It seems entirely contrary to my nature, but if I can believe that such a creature does exist (it doesn't need to be a supernatural being, it could be an EMT, or a brother, or a lover [if a humble DQN such as me will ever know such a thing]), I think I can accept finality.
i think you're on a good way, >>99-san. Accepting finality is one of the biggest burdens a human being must overcome.
I spent a whole day thinking and i came to the conclusion that i am simply hungry.
Why is it that protests always attract so many whiny faggots?
I have thought about this for a couple of weeks, but it is related to >>101
Even if I agree with the causes they are fighting for, as soon as they try to make a fuss I'm immediately inclined to mock them just to spite them. There was a demonstration against herbal essences in my town centre not long ago, and while I think animal testing is kinda cruel, it has been helpful in many aspects of research for helping humans. In any case, the fuss they made just made me want to slash their big inflatable herbal essences bottle (with unfunny slogans) and then squirt shampoo in their eyes.
True. There's no cause so noble that it won't attract fuckheads.
Having pondered all posts in this thread for over a day, my conclusion is that >>96 is the most profound of them all.
The pleasure of being cummed inside
My grandfather died yesterday and I'll admit, I cried some. But to be honest it was never really for him. I did it out of sympathy for people, which amounted just to pressure in my sinuses; the only thing that set me over the edge was thinking that someone I cared about might die one day.
It's been a few months, at least, since I've posted in a [Profound] thread like this. Of course, not all of it was spent thinking... If I'd spent my time doing that, I probably wouldn't be here now!
I've reluctantly come to the conclusion that the reason Palestinians are treated so badly is because they're rotten neighbors.
There's been quite a few situations in my life where if it was the Truman Show, the audience would be thinking, "Oh god he's trying to kill himself!" yet I have never managed to go the whole way. None of them have ever been serious suicide attempts, I guess I just like to go to the edge and look over and see what's over it. But I've been thinking how, there's been a few of them I'm surprised I stayed conscious, never mind alive. Entire box of painkillers? A wee bit dizzy. Jumping in front of a car? Car swerves and I just rip my hand up. Cutting open an artery? A strangely small amount of blood.
The conclusion which seems most likely to me is that I am blessed, and I must have some kind of purpose in life. Well, I don't believe in a higher being or an afterlife or anything, so fuck that.
I think I get too attached, too quickly. There's been times where I've been put off going out with a girl, purely on the basis that if we got married and she took my name, it wouldn't roll off the tongue very easily.
And I'm often already thinking of baby names, like, two weeks into a new relationship, visualising the big house we'd live in with our children and pets.
I'm a big fat butt.
After pondering for 24 hours without sleep or food, I am still not convinced that Fred Phelps would be interested in buying GODHATESBRITFAGS.COM off me. Perhaps I should just run with it, as my vericode suggests.
Furry hate is on the rise. Based on data gathered over the past forty-eight hours, I would say we're dealing with an astroturfing campaign.
Oscillating sheep.
Do androids dream of oscillating sheep?
Megaman X3 had way better music than X2, despite not being as diverse. At least in terms of the SNES versions. The Saturn version is a whole other ball game.

(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I must say, I am very glad this thread entered the top 10 again. It appears that the elitist superstructure is in desperate need of profoundness.
I love my fiancé soooo much, but I am aware how weird it is I've only met her twice.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Mittens.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I think it rather disgraceful that some of you are (or will be) responding directly to others in less than 24 hours. It is not as if we cannot read timestamps. The honor system is one thing, but something that can be mathematically disproved? Ridiculous. I insist you stop this nonsense.
lol internet
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I only smoke eco-friendly cigarettes.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I don't like the way this thread is going.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I think it is time for brothers and sisters everywhere to cease all pussyfooting
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾Driving a car is a form of masturbation. Think about it.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I think tanasinn functions as a low-quality melange.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ It's not so much "taking drugs made my life awesome", as "realising I can think for myself and choose my own path, rather than believing anything I'm told, made my life awesome". If someone told me in the academy how I'd be living in 4 years, I'd have laughed.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Twirly mustaches will save us all.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Animation truly is the highest form of art.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ cough, cough
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ It is highly likely that I will die of lung cancer
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Only real men know the leathery slap of a horse's bare bottom. You can quote me on that.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Some medicines can replace nicotine, but nothing can replace the pleasure of inhaling tobacco smoke. That is why I can't stand the idea of quitting and most people can't either.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ There aren't a million men left alive in this country who could find their way out of a hundred-acre woodlot.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ We could find a lower bound on the number of people there are here by dividing the number of posts by the age of this thread (in days), ignoring that little spat those guys had about not meditating for the appropriate amount of time.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I hate myself and I want to die.
(₯ิ_₯ิ) i dont really feel that intelligent if there isnt something rebellious and self-destructive to be constantly doing
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Life is plotless.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Make it a cheeseburger.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ ZUN is not as ugly as I expected.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ >>144 I think "spat" seems a little condescending. I think the way most large websites these days have a "comments" section, encouraging readers to blurt out what they think, is a big part of why one gets the impression that the Internet is full of hyperactive morons. This thread's aim is to generate profound discussion, on a level that simply isn't feasible within just 24 hours; and if we don't advise the more inexperienced dokyuns, why, who knows where we might end up? Let's ponder the possibility.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ This thread bears similarities to playing chess by mail. It's a pity the internet has all but destroyed the small cerebral joy that it provides, what with these newfangled online chess servers.
( ˃ ˂) I still don't know what to post.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Jovial holidays.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Pleasant Festivities.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Bandwagon post refactoring verbose expressions of Merry Christmas''; contribution of phrase
Delightful Celebrations''.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ At one point, characters much like myself all conversed in the Japanese language. Subsequently, we were transplanted onto an English language knock-off message board inhabited by a variety of hikikomori, dokyuns and other internet misfits, with posts of a quality level of "UNKO".
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ ...
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ That's why I hate baths.
>posts of a quality level of "UNKO"
What does that even mean?
>>158
He's saying that the quality of the posts here are shit.
What a cunt.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ What if Hitler never died in his bunker, but lapsed into a brain-dead coma. Could his soul have purified itself over the last century from evil to good? If the answer is "no", is the soul then not merely a construct of the brain - if yes, is morality volitional?
(L[`)y-~~ So these two ducks walk into a bar...
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α- Absolute entities cannot exist. If they could, we could not know them since we could not interact with them (i.e. there is no way to comprehend them, since they don't change- if we know them, they change, thus they cannot be absolute entities).
So the whole idea of a soul- which I understand to be "the absolute essence of a living/human entity"- is erroneous because the soul could not interact with anything, could not change, could not move, could not have any qualities, could not be known, could not manifest in any way whatsoever.
So speaking about "absolutes" (without the intention to refute them) is rather absurd.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α- Last night I dreamt that something I posted on the internet was called "typical Nietzschean bullshit". Which one of you did it.
( ί -ί) Last night I dreamt that my ex-girlfriend forgave me and became my friend again...then I woke up to find that she's still ignoring me. Is that related?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Julian Assange is hot.
>>166
Wow, I seriously thought I was the only person in the world who... well, thought, that.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Isn't it odd how many anime (as well as video games and other media) are centered on fighting and violence, portraying it as something beautiful, fun and heroic? The viewers would but suffer if they were forced to kill and maim for their mere survival, and certainly wouldn't enjoy putting their health and very lives at risk on a regular basis.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α- I propose that a new first-person sandbox computer game be created. The player assumes the role of a lowly farm worker or the like, whose home country is suddenly embroiled in war. The objective of the game is to survive - and while it is theoretically possible to get an improvised weapon and try to acquire better ones from the soldiers you somehow manage to incapacitate with it, the game is meant to be realistic in terms of how much damage your body can sustain, consequences of untreated wounds, etc. The main part of the game should therefore be spent as a non-combatant, attempting to get to temporary safety from what will soon be the next battlefield. There may even be a pacifist route in which the eventual goal is to organize a successful anti-war movement. I am as yet uncertain whether it should be set in medieval times or present day. Both have their appeal.
Please tell me if something like this already exists.
>>174
Oh, like, he dreams everything all up, and somehow after some time passes he sees the people who he saw in his dream and spent time with being friends/enemies on the streets, remembering each event as it happened and just moving on with his life, while somehow making the girl that was interested in him, in his dream, his girlfriend?
I'm sure it happened in some obscure anime.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ The sayings of those who post in this thread without thinking for a whole day before posting are Communist propaganda and we should find whoever posted them and execute them.
>>170
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I think if you spent more than a couple of hours thinking about that instead of just blurting it out, you'd realise what a silly idea it is.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α- I'd rather feel for 24 hours, but this is fine too.
Maybe I really would benefit from laying off the Internet a little...
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Pain teaches nothing.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ DQN is like the home I've always wanted.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Anime died because no one bought Texhnolyze DVDs.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Everything I've said has distracted, "meaning" is a human concept. Everything that is, is enacted - everything, that is, except...
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Bumping my original thread that did not have a 24-hour requirement has not elicited any more posts as of 24 hours ago as of this posting, and so it seems this thread will soon surpass it in post count despite the limit.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ The fun thing about prophecies announced after the events they predict is that you can check to see if they happened before announcing them. Unfortunately, it is also the lame thing about them.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Lady Gaga is basically Madonna with crazy outfits.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I've come to realize after doing nothing with my life for 6 years that I need to do something otherwise I'll probably go crazy. I think it's finally time to go back to college and get my life together.
I never under stood... why is all of this happening in 1993?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Shall I buy myself a pleasure of accessing the Usenet? Or shall I not? Some servers offer plans without a time limit, e.g., whole 25 gigabytes for 10$. I believe this is perfect as one can be both a pretentious old newsgroup-fart or a pretentious thief.
>>188 We're living in September that never ends. The Eternal September. Basically, this means that we are bound by Netiquette.

(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I ain't saying she's a gold digger, but she ain't messing with no broke-broke nigger.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ The Singularity already happened. It lasted from 1940 to 1975. We're on the the other kind of S-shaped asymptotic curve now.

(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ When you shoot people in the game, they virtually die. If you do this repeatedly, people might get annoyed. For at least some of them this might take a form of slight pain in their rectums.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ If the cigarette in my hand never burns up, am I the one who truly burns?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Moe is relative.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I doubt it, >>200. Moé is absolute. It's either moé or not moé. It doesn't depend on a sole person's decision whenever something moé. Moé is not decided, moé can be created. But it all depends on artist's perception. Many attempts in moé are actually not moé, you should bear this in mind.

(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Inuboshi tries so hard to make these things "sweet" and not too uncomfortable, but every time his comics give me the feeling of taking some pretty flower and mashing it into the ground with your penis.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff is the herald of the whatever the hell we're going to call the wave of postmodernism that comes after the current wave of postmodernism.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ >>203 The failure to think for a whole day before posting is miserable.
>>206 I noticed that and proceeded think about it for almost a day and a half. Can you imagine my disappointment when I noticed that you had stolen my post? I'm glad I decided to think about this possibility in advance!
Stared at the tv too long now and I'm not the same. I've got to remind myself that it's just a game. Its getting harder and harder to get to sleep at night. I think I'll let them shoot me so that I can die. Whats at the end? Whats at the end? Whats at the end of satan's rainbow?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Most of us will die.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ If we have a life for every day of the week, this life's a saturday
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Existence is rainfall; I want to see how big a puddle I can make.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I have a great idea for a practical joke!
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ What is the purpose of practical jokes? Is it to make somebody feel miserable? ...To destroy somebody's valuable possessions? ...To laugh at the poor guy even if there is actually no reason to laugh at him, because he is deeply hurt?
...a free fire zone for a cheap feeling of Schadenfreude...
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I have been watching this thread for a week, and still this is all I have to contribute.

My rectum feels full enough to be uncomfortable, but not so full that I'm ready to go poop.
(It is not full of penis, lest you be lead to believe so if it's not specified.)
>>216 I meant to post that in the current thoughts thread. Aporogies for any inconvenience.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ How interesting! I haven't thought for a whole day in a long time. Well, you don't get much time for thinking these days.
Is it because of my rapidly changing interests? Is it because of the world wide web? Is it because of my age? Is it because that the life is rushed in this time and age?
I'd need another day of thinking to answer these questions, but I don't have this luxury.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Computers are not Turing-complete, because they are finite state machines.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I was thinking all night, what states are possible for the computer? I believe that they're all derivatives of these: "powered on", "powered off", "broken".
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ The future is in robots building robots.
In the the end the most important question in life is what if my dick was a dildo?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ It's one thing to TALK, and a very different thing to DO.
It is better to be stupid then to be petty.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ The two are not mutually exclusive, of course.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Is it bumsex when men stimulate each other prostates or is it just a massage? It is perception of this that separates wise men from commoners.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Have you read your Thinking Forth today?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ It means you're a furry, >>228. Please get off my Internets. Thank you.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ A couple of nights I dreamt about how about half the posters in this thread cannot fucking read. I am posting to inform half the posters that they cannot fucking read, no matter how long ago or recently they made this fact obvious.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ We're insignificant in the universe at large, but it doesn't really matter.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ You might say that our insignificance is itself insignificant.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ A person who replies after three hours hadn't thought for a day. A person who is defensive about his Internets is likely incapable of thinking for longer than a minute.
Argh, for Christ's sake! I bet he has yet to accumulate his first 24 hours of pure DQN!
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Some of us, of course, run our brains in massively parallel configuration with greatly reduced redundancy and are capable of thinking for 24 hours in a matter of seconds. We are the true DQNs, Children of the Yeti, etc.
You have to think for 24 hours real-time regardless of actual processing time and power.
However, I post this soon because I was able to feel your reply. I was thinking about it ever since >>233. Prediction algorithms are the future.
How much DQN could a dokyun dokyun if a dokyun could dokyun DQN?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ We will never (again) be little girls.

(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I may pick whichever afterlife I want right before jumping off the roof, it won't matter shortly after.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Is Espeon even a woman?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Though an Athiest® from a very young age, I have only recently discovered a deep, ingrained belief in an afterlife, having somehow ideologically separated itself completely from the paradise of the Christian Scriptures™. This bundle of neurons lies, and lies well.
Ah, hallo >>240, fancy seeing you here.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ On another note, I can't remember if this is tobacky, hashish, or plain old divinorum. Where am I, even?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I think that your problem, >>242, is that your brain refuses to accept the simple fact you'll die someday, rather than believing it'll be born again after death. You haven't witnessed enough death nor came close to it.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I chanted a prayer from an old book on Zoroastrianism a few days ago just to see if anything would happen, and it's been snowing since late in that night, which wasn't predicted. Does this mean I'm blessed by Ahura Mazda? In contact with some other divinities? Naturally gifted? Or just delusional? The other options are a lot more fun...
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Time is a lie.

(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ It's remarkable how the English language has a word for experiencing too little human contact - "lonely" - yet it has no antonym; no opposite, neither as a single word nor a set phrase.

(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Sometimes in life, you just have to hide your boner under your belt.
>>250
I've spent an entire day wondering whether I should (finally) reply to this or not, and decided to do so using sage.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ When I said the antonym of lonely, I did not simply mean "not lonely". I meant actually experiencing too much human contact. In this sense, no, I don't believe that it is unnecessary.

(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Having spent the past 24 hours in silent contemplation, without food, drink, sleep or attending classes, I have come to the conclusion that this was a giant waste of time. Give me back my day, /dqn/! Also feed me!
I have been analyzing my life, trying to figure out how I ended up as yet another loser posting at the obscure place of the Internet instead of becoming an internationally recognized scientist, or an inventor or just a successful rich guy (as seen on TV).
I traced everything back to a point of my life when I was a third grader. I loved one particular girl in my class, but instead of informing her of that fact I told about it to a friend, who seemed like a good, calm, even a bit timid guy (he was forced to attend a church school on Sundays, learn to play violin, etc). Upon hearing about my feelings, he immediately went to her and said that I told him that I love her. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! And she was laughing, and jumping over chairs and acting overall quite hyperactive. I couldn't figure it out. I was feeling deeply ashamed. I misinterpreted her laugh.
I never talked to her about it again. Although I must admit that I invited her once to my house around 5th or 6th grades, but she refused. And so, as years went by, I became more and more shut-in, still dreaming about her. At 9th grade she gained some weight, changed her haircut to a terribly ugly one, which made me realize that I've lost the sweetest years and fell into obscurity (I was even called gay for my shyness around girls and my, as I perceive it now, very cute appearance). Later she transferred to another class (mine was specialized on applied sciences, the other one was specialized on humanities) and I couldn't care less about her, but the time and mind were lost. I was far on my journey of changing from an open, curious, "life-of-the-party" guy to a misanthrope.
Even to this day I sometimes get nervous when I hear girls laughing behind my back, especially if they just passed me. I feel awkward around ladies and I lack the knowledge of how to talk to them "naturally". As a result, during any personal conversation I end up over-analyzing my words and actions and have to RTLS (or TAL at best), so to say. (ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_abort_modes#Intact_abort_modes)
As a side-note, there were ten years of schooling back in my day:
1st to 3rd grades - elementary school,
5th to 9th - middle school,
10th, 11th - high school.
Nowadays, 4th grade is back.

(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ There's no accounting for that.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Me and my wife 100%'d Spyro: A Hero's Tail on PS2 recently. As a hardened but perhaps jaded gamer myself I thought it was really good; good learning curve, well designed levels, and a real satisfying experience, I felt an emotional connection to Spyro by the end of the game, and started to be Spyro in my dreams. Better than I expected a Spyro game to be, from only playing demos of the earlier games in the series.
So we looked for a new Spyro game to play but oh god Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly is so bad, it's a bit painful and sad to watch or play.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I'm sure I'm writing Scheme in a non-Lispy way. It still doesn't feel right.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ What if I'm an actual wizard, but I'm out of MP?
Contradiction stabilizes itself by creating a third relation which becomes the mediator.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ PSY may be a tipping point for western audiences to discover how much excellent, sophisticated pop music is being made in South Korea, or could the language barrier repel them? The fact I can't understand them and the vocals become just another instrument is a reason I like foreign music, but I often wonder if those songs I love were sung in English, would I still like them? Probably not if done by your standard western pop starlets.
Is our language, English, capable, is English capable of sustaining demagoguery? I mean ummmm highly-charged oratory, persuasive whipping up rhetoric. Listen to me, if Hitler had been British would we, under similar circumstances, have been moved, charged up, fired by his inflammatory speeches, or would we have laughed? Is English too ironic to support Hitlerian styles? Would his language simply have rung false in our ears?
May I compartmentalise? I hate to, but may I? May I? Is our language a function of our British cynicism, tolerance, resistance to false emotion, humour and so on, or do those qualities come extrinsically - extrinsically, from the language itself? Itfs a chicken and egg problem.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ PSY's ,,Gangnam Style'' pandered to western audiences by being homogeneous and derivative. Satire or not, that is lazy.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I was going to argue that my deliberately offensive youtube comments were irony, but after thinking about them, I have come to believe that they have properties of stainless steel.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ >>273 We're talking about chickens, we're talking about eggs.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Vegetarianism is a tool and a plot by Chinese and other communist countries to malnourish citizens of capitalist regimes.
"Why?" you ask. Well, imagine a fighter jet pilot who loses consciousness in the middle of high-G manoeuvre. This is what happened in Vietnam. Americans preferred to disengage if foe's MiG was stable during those, because it could only mean that it's piloted by a Soviet "instructor". Most of Vietnamese pilots, however, couldn't endure high-Gs and making themselves easy targets.
So, imagine this happening to freedom fighters, that is US soldiers, during Sino-American war. All the high-tech fifth-generation jet fighters will suddenly become useless.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I have never heard the word "flaccid" used favorably.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ The desire for sexual release is an important biological construct, which should always be pursued and never ignored, just as the need to urinate or sneeze is one which should be satisfied. Failure to achieve release may cause genius or insanity, in addition to blue balls. While none of these conditions are fatal, they remain undesirable in a society primarily populated with neurotypicals without swollen gonads. This is the basis for my case to allow public masturbation.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Every randomised captcha you get is a higher being writing you a poem.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I should wash my legs.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ "Organic" food as opposed to what? Inorganic? I'm fairly certain that table salt is the only inorganic substance that I consume.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ What does math teach us? "Be rational, be real!" Of course, you can be irrational and imaginary (imaginative!) if you want to, but that would complicate matters.
༼ Β ◕_◕ ༽Β I am almost, but not quite, too fat to move.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Higher math teaches us that "imaginary" is isomorphic to a 2x2 matrix and there is nothing really "imaginary" about it. What this means in practical terms is that Gensokyo is real, but "2D".
Photons or sexy prose?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ >>286-san should be referring to 2x1 real matrices, or 1x2. This bothers me more than it should, probably.
I've developed a worldview that convinces me that the human condition gives us "deep happiness" and flow when we engage in human deep actions. What is "deep" in this context? It's profound, resonant, understood by from down to the lower functions of the mind to the highest. Engaging in short time pleasure pleases the lower functions, but unsettles the higher, abstract, desires. Engaging in studies pleases the higher functions, but bores the lower functions. The human activities transcend lower and higher functions and resonate with the whole of the human mind. Exploration. Creation. Gathering a following. Winning debates. Competing in sports.
This is where we experience flow.
I am an Electrical Engineer for a small product development firm and I found peace in the job I do, as I am feeling like a creator. Just sometimes do I wish to also travel, document what I have seen and teach people of the conclusions I have drawn. Debate such conclusions.
here comes the great despair in my life. For I have found to hate modernism and progressivism. It is traditionalism that resonates most with me and it is traditionalism which is dead. I am a missionary with no ear that listens to me. A restless wanderer bolted to a system and place. The Keeper of a Secret. But a secret it shouldn't be.
This inner conflict will only find peace in abstraction. To find the concepts and patterns, the first ideas, the essence of traditionalism, to translate them to dispassionate describing language and publish a highly concentrated abstract form of the (varied, leaderless, beheaded) ideology, so someday it might be found by a person with more fire and clout than I have, in the time where the decline can be more felt than now.
There will lie my absolution and also the tragedy: to smith the key to freedom, but being to weak to turn the lock. As soon as the literature is written and known to be read, my mind will pulsate into harmony again.

Sometimes I want to kiss the posts on textboards. Not the people behind the posts, but the posts themselves. I want to slide my tongue all over the textboard posts and cover them in my cute girl saliva.
The problem with forums and public IRC channels is that they form cultures based around individual personalities, and those who are in or near the center are generally free to be assholes to newcomers while not being called out for that behavior, because most users are eager to please the older/more prolific posters. Fully anonymous boards are far better in this regard, because there are really no identifiable individual personalities. Thus, it doesn't matter how long you've been a poster; if you act like an idiot or an asshole there is nothing preventing other posters from being honest about your behavior. This promotes a healthy social atmosphere.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾
>>294
Regular bulletin boards also encourage a culture of quantity over quality, since the single most important thing in any account is the post number. A person with 15,000 posts will be respect more than a person with only 300 posts, even if the 15k guy just dumps crappy one-word responses to inane threads while every single one of the 300 guy's posts is a life-changing existential essay or comedy gold.
You can see SAoVQ getting directly shittier thanks to people naming certain posters.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Concepts, designs and features are generated and implemented by using the Arch Way principles as a guide, rather than bowing to external influences.
>>295
Counterpoint, but what if anonymous message boards encourage a culture of making worthless posts without a second thought because there is no name attached to them, no face or reputation to save?
>>298
It's better than a vanity system. Some kind of time delay between posting and the post being visible (like a mailing list or Freenet-type network) could help with that. A voting system would too, but I don't particularly care for the idea, nor do I see that working well anonymously.
(I'm not bumping because you and I both know that neither of us thought for 24 hours before posting.)
It seems difficult to ensure any sort of verification that a poster has worked on a post for any amount of time, with either an upper or lower bound.
>>296
Who knew that Jews and feminists bring down board quality?
>>303
Who knew that Jews and feminists have anything to do with it?
>>303,304
People shitposting about jews and feminists and the people shitposting about the people shitposting about jews and feminists is what ruined it.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ So, I gave in and passed that socionics test that defined me as INFP. That is:
Why am I not... Tanasinn yet?
>>306
According to the online tests I took, I'm INTJ. And according to some lady named Marina Margaret Heiss, "Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel ... This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals ... Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense."
Which sounds like me.
>>308
I spent a whole day thinking about it, and then thinking about your words. And now I see the problem.
>>307
I looked at the descriptions of all the different types and all could apply to me if considered from the right perspective. Personality tests are basically horoscopes.
>>310 Eh, I guess. Well, at least I know none of the "extrovert" personality types could describe me, but that still leaves half of them.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Cocaine and heroin should be sold where cigarettes are sold. When that happens, it will truly prove or disprove that ccoaine and heroin are more addictive than cigarettes.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ The reason some people quit using cocaine and heroin is because drug dealers aren't always easy to find.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I can't help but look at the campaigns of Timur or Suleiman and think that as far as armies of fanatical Muslims laying waste to the countryside and slaughtering unbelievers go, IS are pretty lame.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Money may not buy happiness, but it will buy shiny gadgets to distract you from how miserable you are.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ If talking about shitposting is shitposting, this post is a shitpost.
>>306
Don't test.
Feel and you'll be Tanasinn.
I did not think about this post for 24 hours. I will think about the next post in this thread for 24 hours or more cumulative, though. I will time my writing, thinking, and revising sessions. This is my sacred DQN oath.
A whole board where you have to think for a whole day before you post. To make a post, you begin by submitting your first draft, and throughout the next day, you're allowed to change it however you want. When a day has passed, your post goes through.
>>318
You may post to the board, but it waits 24 hours before emailing you a screenshot of your post, along with a link to a page where it forces you to retype the post in order to think about it more, before finally allowing you to submit. If your submission differs by more than a defined amount, the process starts again.
Alternatively the board waits a shorter time before the email/resubmission, and if two consecutive revisions differ too much, it cycles; otherwise it queues up your post for 24 hours after first submission.
Another alternative: your scheme, but you must make several significant edits before it accepts post.
>>318,319
A special device that is implanted in your brain and makes sure you've spent at least 80% of the last 24 hours thinking about the post you're about to make. Failure to comply results in a painful electric shock, or, alternatively, the release of cyanide into one's bloodstream. It depends on the severity of the thought crime.
>>318
I had something to say about this, but then I waited 24 hours and forgot it.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ A board that claims it rejects badly thought out posts but really it just rejects posts at random.
>>323
Maybe.
>>324
Partly, although I'm really curious about how would people behave on such a board. Erase obviously bad posts such as canned responses, me too-isms and the rest subject to the possibility of rejection at random. I want to see if the placebo effect would be enough to drive posters to make valuable posts, as they attempt to get past the illusory quality assurance. Isn't that compelling?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ butts
Make a website where you can find highscores that use your name.
>>328 I did find a website that lists all PSN users with all the trophies they have, including me, I opted out of it because I thought it was creepy
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Does an electric eel shock itself too?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Don't be mean to politicians, for they might acquire means to destroy what you love.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Determinism is a load of bull
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Belief in non-determinism is equivalent to the acceptance that not everything is controllable, or even observable, by yourself.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Yiff is an acquired taste.

Right-wingers are fucking retarded!!!!
Left-wingers are fucking spastic dipshits!!!!

(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I understand politics, but realize this is one of the worst topics of all time.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Just move on already and stop posting about politics.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ move your ass to shit on this gay cock
How many Chugs could Chuck Chuck down if Chuck could Chug Chucks?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I, an intellectual, like titties so much that I spent 24 hours thinking about them.
the index on textboards are alright, on an imageboard it makes the website near-unusable.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I've given it a lot of thought, and the only reasonable conclusion is that traps aren't gay.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ What if Bible passages about loving others like yourself were mistranslated and misinterpreted all along? What if they meant to take all your angst, misery and self-loathing and expend them on others? I.e. these words were meant to untie your mind from being cowardly and weak-spirited against others.
You know, just like turning the other cheek. Basically, asking for a backhand slap that is the worst insult imaginable, making your adversary nothing short of a mortal enemy. I.e. those words were meant to untie your hands to vanquish him or her without a hesitation.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Hippies were just the first consumerist movement who fooled themselves into thinking they weren't consumers.
It seems like a more acceptable mistake because it had not happened before. But it is pretty obvious in hindsight.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Traps are Schroedinger's gay. Whether or not they're gay depends on the mindset you go in with. If you think of them as a boy in a dress, they're gay. If you think of them as a girl with a penis, they're straight.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Fun definitely should be outlawed
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Do not be fooled by her flippant, casual, or sarcastic nature. Reimu Hakurei's shining conviction and willingness to look beyond the supernatural's proclivity for hating and even killing humans has been the driving force in making Gensokyo a place where humans and youkai can coexist without outright extinguishing each other.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ That and throwing around a god's totem and tossing a shitload of charms per second and being able to somehow dodge everything.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ I just think that, with a little understanding, we could find the perfect blend. And that's when good neighbours become good friends, there can be no other way.
(₯ิ_₯ิ) I've quarreled all day with my inner psyche and I've decided it's time to quit smoking. I'm posting it here to pressure myself to keep it up.

(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ This kao-moji has not, to my recollection, displayed correctly for me for a long time, if ever. Until a day ago. Weird.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Where there is Dasein, there is also Daszwei
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Indiana Jones and the big pp
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ fast food chains actually provide a reasonable service by making offal taste good more efficiently than home cooks can.

(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ almost 500 days ago I wrote this and I'm holding a cigarette right now as I read this thread.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ If "prostitute" is the world's oldest profession, the second oldest must be "soldier". Not long after the first female chimp figured out that she could sell her pussy for bananas, the first male chimp must have figured out that he could beat up other chimps and take their bananas. And thus, "the economy" was born.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ trains should be free. they should not make money. nobody expects sidewalks or roads to make money.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾@MMORPGs and ARPGs(Diablo, PoE, Grim Dawn) are actually just the same genre from different perspectives. In an ARPG you play as the raid boss and in an MMO you play as one of the hundred faceless mooks who pops up out of a barrel or whatever. .
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ The clue is in the name, >>364
I've been thinking all day long and all I've come to realize is I don't have anything meaningful or profound at all to say. I guess the most meaningful thing I can say is going against what I'm doing right now and that is that it's okay to not comment on everything you want to comment on.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Some get it better than others. And some will never get it, despite what they have to see around them
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Why is a menstruation fetish so rare?
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ pretty sure the oldest profession is some sort of farmer, it makes no sense to accumulate perishable goods like "bananas" or use them as a makeshift trading currency, since it has no lasting value. But it makes a world of sense to "own" farmable land and require "soldiers" to enforce ownership. Indeed, agriculture must come first before any economy can even begin to exist, thus the first workers that could have plausibly being employed in any meaningful sense are farmers.
*been employed, I should have spent longer on my post and less time on thinking
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ A rarely acknowledged aspect of the U.S. government endorsement of building out suburbs in the postwar years is its role in making nuclear war less effective or at least more expensive for anyone who'd like to try.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ Such extravagance didn't fit the Second World's doctrine nor budget, but they understood the need for nuclear deterrence. Ironically, their planned economies made it more cost effective and sensible to spend the labor on nuclear weapons instead of better housing.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ The \ letter. Any language lacking vowel "\" can't be considered complete. "\" means laughing in Russian online lingo, its length might vary depending on the poster's amusement. The only close, and, perhaps, better known approximation is Japanese "wwwww" that does, indeed, stand out next to hieroglyphs. The huge difference between "www" construct and "", however, is that the latter is natural to the language and can be easily pronounced - and often gets so. Interestingly, both "W" and "\" are located next to each other in standard keyboard layouts, "\" taking the place of "S" on QWERTY. Coincidence? I think not. The only downside to the letter "\" is that for a bystander unfamiliar with it, its shape might resemble "bl" (BL, short for "boys' love", also known as "Yaoi").
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ The only true Great American Novel is Homestuck.
(₯ิ_₯ิ)Α-̾ "Risk–Reward ratio"—a sublime imperfect example of the euphonic principle in common with "ablaut reduplication". Like many prehistory ponderers, I wonder what about the cultural milieu of PIEs led to this, but I worry about the vaguely nonzero chance those crafty Caucasians if asked would simply recite "I-E-A-I-A-I-O".
