Today, I crossed the street in the middle. I did not check both ways.
I have a problem with using my charm and good looks to lure most girls I meet. But relationships are repulsive to me. Sometimes I just enjoy their affectionate advances. Other times I'm bored.
My friends tend to envy me this. I see it as just another skill - of which I have many.
>>753-san's post makes me bitter, but only because I have an inferiority complex and can't accept other people being good at things without being all misanthropic about it.
Despite the best efforts of documentary film makers, 20th century history is dreadfully boring me at best.
I used to draw a shitty comic of vulgar jokes. At first the characters were called Butt-head and Dorkus. But then I decided that Butt-head sounded too reminiscent of Beavis and Butt-head, and found out that "Dorcas" is a real (albeit old-fashioned) GIRL's name that sounds just like "Dorkus". So Butt-head became Ass-head and Dorkus was renamed to Peter F. Dick (who was also going to have an uncle called Harry Dick, but I never got around to actually writing him in...)
I also named my half-orc in Angband "Dick Halflong" once during a late-night sleep deprivation session. It kind of became a tradition for me, and as characters die a lot in that game, I got up to like Dick Halflong XIV or thereabouts.
Whenever I watch a live-action movie these days, I tend to get dreadfully bored within minutes. I suspect that all these years of watching moeblob anime have ruined me for looking at real, non-exaggerated human facial expressions.
I started to learn Japanese eight years ago, all so I could enjoy untranslated eroge. In hindsight it was so not worth the effort
>>758,759
Are you both early-to-mid-twenties who began learning it as a young teenager? I ask because I, too, tried learning around eight years ago, at which time I was fourteen. This would seem like the common age for intelligent otaku to take a stab at the language.
I still can't read it either, however :/
I started in middle school, personally (age 13). While I originally did it for the eroge, I have actually ventured out into reading more mundane/useful things over the past 11 years....
I can read (not write) about 1000 kanji fairly well now. My grammar will be awful forever. I kind of half-assed the studying, you know?
If the whole programming thing doesn't work out, I do have a shot at translating vidya gaems.
>>759,760
It seems I'm older than >>760,762. I seriously started at age 19, though I did make some half-hearted attempts before then. Currently I can read some 1400 kanji, and write maybe 900 without a reference. I'm still a college undergrad, but having Japanese as major subject helps me not be too half-assed about it. It does have the disadvantage of having to write boring essays about the economic history of tiny villages in Aomori, though. The biggest grammar problem I struggle with is matching politeness registers inappropriately to the situation.
>>763 I started learning when I was 19 as well but I only did it for a year and then my Japanese teacher lost her job and had to go back to Japan. It was heartbreaking, she was a lovely jolly little lady and she started crying in class. So I only really know hiragana and katakana and very basic vocabulary, which I'm forgetting because I haven't studied in 3 years. Which is a shame but I don't have the time...
Every time I spot a translation error in a fansubbed anime/drama, I get the urge to send a correction to the translator. But since most of the stuff I watch was aired and translated several years ago, I figure nobody would give a damn about my corrections anymore, even if I did have a way of contacting the fansubbers. And so the error remains uncorrected, and deep inside I feel guilty for not speaking up.
I self-consciously insert Americanisms into my speech whenever I post on a US-dominated online forum, even though I've never spent more than two weeks in the United States and find it frankly distasteful.
>>766
I do this too. The problem is that people insist on pointing out whenever you use a Commonwealth spelling or idiom, but never when you use American speech. I suppose it's understandable given that these sort of sites are predominantly American, but you'd think people would be more tolerant or at least get bored of pointing out you put a "u" in "colour".
I cheated at "pin the tail on the donkey" at my fifth birthday party.
Whenever I see a highly-rated YouTube comment saying "Thumbs up if condition foo is met", I vote it down. I don't like random strangers telling me what to do.
>>769 there are certain imperative statements on the Internet I am willing to tolerate, but I will never oblige those. Another one I will never oblige is the single word "Elaborate." Yes, what I said was fancy, also get off your retarded high horse if I wanted to say more I would say more; maybe if you were polite about it I might, but ah-ah-ah you didn't say the magic word.
whoops I think I mistook this thread for a chat thread my bad
>>769 I do that too. And "x people didn't y" in regards to the number of dislikes on a video. Youtube memes in general.
I kind of liked the Uwe Boll Bloodrayne movie (the first one, I haven't seen the follow-ups.)
It may have helped that I'd not yet played the game when I saw it, of course.
Speaking of Uwe Boll, every time I go to the local video rental I have to force myself to ignore the Postal movie on the shelf. One day, I need to research just how much revenue a director gets from a single DVD rental. Maybe then my internal conflict will be negotiated to a satisfactory conclusion.
>>769
Obviously it's the younger generation and I'm willing to forgive them for that (I doubt I was better at 14), but I hope the Internet as a whole outgrows it.
Makes me wonder if similar things happened when other means of communication were invented. It must have taken a lot of bickering and oh-for-fuck's-sake-give-it-a-rest before things like written communication became what they are today.
>>769
Whenever I see a comment like that, I vote it up. I secretly hope that somebody "loses it" and assaults somebody else AFK in a feat of rage. I dream about this headline in the morning news: "A dork kicked two butts over a silly youtube comment, before getting his ass whooped by a jock."
These dreams of schadenfreude make sifting through comments more or less tolerable.
I also made a few "arrow in the knee" jokes and rather successfully upset a bunch of "arrow in the knee" haters with a "sword through the chest" variations.
>>775
It only goes downhill from there.
I'd rather avoid reading "written communication" between two youngsters. Amateur radio has its share of pirates and people who can't get it right (however, it's a rather strict community). Phone pranks are increasingly more popular as recording tools, sound boards and other things become more and more accessible. And, well, the Eternal September.
I posted with this name. Again.
I must admit I feel a bit sorry for her. How much do you have to hate yourself before you begin trolling a place like DQN?
>>780
Some people don't deserve sympathy.
So as not to be entirely off topic, my lame confession is that I overuse semicolons.
I felt relieved that DQN still has people who can understand my point of view, like >>780 did!
Wouldn't be able to do much without anyone's support actually.ww
and that's why we will hunt down the collaborators, and send them to the Island of Perpetual Tickling
I overuse em dashes.
Perhaps this is a good thing since ASCII/keyboards don't have a dedicated dash and people seem to have forgotten they exist.
Every time I read a Cracked.com article and a smile passes over my face, I imagine a frat boy giggling at the exact same lines and feel bad about my amusement. I guess the Elitist Superstructure really is the perfect place for someone as snooty as me.
I can extrude hair, but I can't retract it.
I come off as intelligent and witty online, but without immediate access to Google I am nothing.
>>789
Don't people become suspicious about your response times to certain messages? If I noticed a consistent delay followed by an erratic, too-quick typing rate I might start to wonder what could initially be taking so long.
>>790
I rarely do real-time communication these days, but people are more forgiving of a minute delay in IRC or MSN than they would be over the phone or in real life. You might have less time to look something up between chatting, but on the plus side people don't expect you to type up a ten paragraph essay either.
Of course with email and message boards, it's easy to write long posts making yourself look knowledgeable about anything.
IRC is the best form of communication
I find XKCD to be unfunny.
I'm 21 and I threw out my back today cutting down thorn bushes with swords.
DQN would eventually lose itself in the recesses of my memory if it were not the browser home page.
>>795
I've lied and told everyone who has asked whether I've seen it that I actually have, only so that they can talk about it while I enthusiastically agree instead of creating the awkward, disappointed silence which follows a lack of awareness of something one holds dear.
I feel guilty bumping threads after several consecutive sages.
I could not get the >>800 GET.
My captcha for this post was, fittingly, inane
>>800
I do. Between the theft of my GET and the reuff talking, ignorant dokyun, I feel like my life can't get any worse.
I tried to sage a thread on my phone and bumped it instead.
I have never seen Revenge of the Sith.
I have never seen any of the Star Wars films. Not even one.
For my high school's senior class president election, I ran and used Emperor Palpatine's speech in front of my entire class, mocking his voice.
I almost won.
>>807
Oh yeah, that was me a while back.
Consider this another post for this lame thread- I posted a video of myself on the Secret Area.
I don't get why qwantz.com is so popular among my friends. The guy has been using the same six frames of mediocre clip-art on a plain white background and combining them with walls of mostly unfunny text in a shitty font for years. What is it about that so-called webcomic that I clearly must be missing?
>>809
Are your friends 17-years-old and/or pseudo-intellectual, perchance?
I'm not good at talking to women.
I haven't watched My Little Pony for a few weeks and I kinda miss it.
I go to 4chan's /mlp/ board and post fluffy pony fanfiction anonymously. Unlike most "fluffy pony" stories, which are about someone torturing the stupid little beasts horribly, yukkuri style, mine attempt to go for the inherent surreal black humor of the "fluffy pony" concept. Everyone ignores me. [spoiler];_;[/spoiler]
I like to massage my breasts with my bare feet.
I spelled "tattooed" wrong...
I am not in elementary school, but I sometimes play games on easy mode.
I actually spent thirty seconds contorting myself to try to recreate >>816's acclaimed feat.
I once ended up in a strange AIM conversation with a friend as to whether she could lick her own nipples. She attested she could if she pulled her breasts closer to her face, and did it there and then, describing the act. To her it was an innocent bit of fun. To me it was a chatlog I've had saved for almost ten years.
>>822
How old were you when you saved it, and why did you delete it in the end?
>>822
One of my ex's said she liked to lick her nipples in the shower.
I'm licking my nipples right now and I'm not even female.
I frequently fart on my boyfriend's dick while spooning
>>832 go to the fart thread in 4chan's /d/ board. People in that thread love stories about women farting on their boyfriend.
I play all video games on the lowest difficulty setting.
I don't know how to italicize here
>>835
I continually cheat at video games. In fact, I won't buy video games unless you can cheat.
Post too long. Click to view the whole post or the thread page.
>>840
Err, no. I only go to *chans when somebody sends me a link which is quite rare. Anyway, what happened there? Rob was 19 again and everyone was having a blast, weren't they?
>>841
He's 19? I thought he was like, 17. I vaguely recall Jkid ``blackmailing'' him for being underage.
Someone mentioned demoscene, is all.
I don't know who you are talking about.
Rob is jarig is a mighty fine demoscenish meme: ttp://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=7084 - just look at the list of release parties.
I must confess that Skyrim has deeply affected me.
After playing as khajiit for some time I decided to take ALL THE SALMON! And I did so, stealing, catching or just taking - the way of obtaining it didn't matter. I always have around 200 pieces of it in this game and eat the surplus.
As a result, every time I see salted salmon in my local supermarket, I can't help myself but buy one. Thanks god, I'm not a kleptomaniac AFK.

I just searched someting using Bing and I found what I was looking for.
My name isn't Andrew. I feel so out of place.
I'm David.
So am I.
Ah, screw it. As a great man(?) once said, "shit lets be david".
