The wind is blowing so hard the house is shaking. Normally the forest shields us from high winds. So I can guess its even worse in town if we are getting hit this hard.
All my life I've been a technology bottom feeder. I've spent my slimy jawless existence many fathoms below the bleeding edge picking through the carcasses of other people's bad decisions. Usually what you find down here is long-dead, rotten in many ways. Lately though, something has changed. From cliffs high above the oceans are rife with fresh meat! Lemmings falling to their death!
Hipsters everywhere are selling off their old iPads in anticipation of the new ones! By buying a trendy toy, they never learned a thing about personal finance but let me tell you right now: they're about to get a lesson in economics! When supply outstrips demand, the price plummets into the depths! Right into my gaping maw!
Thank you! Thank you hipsters everywhere! With all luck, I'll have one just for my cat!
The world requires pictures of this iPaw.
Well, I finished watching the remaining seasons of Family Guy. My conclusion is that the series has descended from a platform for edgy hit-or-miss jokes into just another mediocre cartoon.
As with earlier seasons, Family Guy has potential but almost invariably falls short. Take, for example, "Brian & Stewie", the climactic 150th episode. It's essentially a one act play of Seth MacFarlane talking to himself for an hour. It was a brave step into philosophical territory, and I wanted to like it. I hoped it would finally redeem the series. But in the end, Seth MacFarlane is no Samuel Beckett, and the episode fell short of the insight I longed for, in favor of TV-flavored pseudo-depth.
This is a good representation of the latter seasons in general. They try to provide what the earlier episodes lacked: focused storylines and greater character development. The amount of cutaway gags and side plots per episode decreases dramatically. Yet while this change has the potential to allow deeper character development and more interesting stories, the attempts fall firmly into mere mediocrity. For one thing, the characters simply lack the consistency to develop in any meaningful way, often changing their personality at the drop of a pin to suit the latest gag. And the plots themselves are insipid and predictable - typical TV trash. It often seems that the writers ran out of ideas and turned to formulaic television tropes. Take a formula story, pepper it with old jokes stolen from earlier seasons, and there you have a later-season Family Guy episode.
Now, that's not to say Family Guy is without moments of true humor. It even made me laugh a few times! But in general, the little merit there was to Family Guy is almost entirely absent from the latter episodes. By now I'm just relieved to be done with it.

Oh, and I almost forgot. I give Family Guy seasons 7-9 four out of ten bu-ns. I don't think I'm going to bother watching season 10.
>>756,757
Good god, you poor man! I have to admire your commitment and dedication in seeing it through this far, but why you would do such a thing to yourself is beyond me.
FUCK YES TRUMPET SOLO

I originally started as a way to just kill time, but once I had started I felt like I had a duty to see it through.
It's so much nicer being cold and heartless instead of feeling like it's a duty to pretend you love someone.
So I was in my bathroom, peeing, when this doujin idea sprung into mind.
So, a loli and a shota switch bodies, like in that movie who's title I forget, and then the loli (inside the shota's body) needs to pee. Naturally, she doesn't know what to do, being in a boy's body, so she asks the shota to help. Long story short, she starts to get into it, gets an erection, and the boy decides to help her and they end up having sex while their bodies are swapped.
Does something like this already exist? Because now I really want to see it.
Life is okay.
Let's do it.
I'd never make it as a real hikkikomori.

I'm still getting into anime really, I've only seen a few. Toradora is really cute.
I never really "got" Toradora, but perhaps it's because I only watched a few episodes.
Should I watch them all?

Good afternoon, chaps!
DQN sucks. I'm leaving after this post.

So maybe my hindsight has cataracts or something but this metatrolling and dramamongering seems a bit new. Fangled. Newfangled. But it's okay, everything is.

I lost a lot of valuable sleep editing the contents of my mp3 player for an upcoming trip. Because there was so much effort involved, chances are I won't listen to it once!
Bring me home, Captain Jack.
In my mind, rei is always holding the lance,
"I couldn't even hurt a spider", she said to me. Then she muttered "then again, spiders never wronged me...".
I can't feel the left side of my mouth! Damn dentist!
I can't feel the left side of your mouth either! WTF?
Gods, I wish Cinematic Titanic offered a non-live version of War of the Insects. There are not a lot of things that get on my nerves more than studio audience laughter.
This little wooden fan thingy is the best £1 I ever spent.
I found that word I was looking for. It was libation.
Libation is a nice word. I'll have to find some excuse to use it.
I always used the word when I tipped out a 40 for dead homies.
So, basically, I've used it once; on the tenth anniversary of Eazy-E's death.
Oh, and I poured out a pint of Guinness for Robert Anton Wilson.
What's important in life? What's important to me? Do I want to live a happy or a meaningful life? I guess that it's just a matter of preference, but my rationalisations have made it impossible to pinpoint my exact desires. I guess that being able to percieve from different perspectives is a blessing and a curse; I have lost my sense of self. This freedom used to be something I longed for, but now it just leaves me directionless, floating. A human being isn't capable to create something out of nothing; our lives revolve around our environment and how we react upon it.
Maybe there is something I missed; is there really something as our subconscious? Is my true self hiding in the depths of my brain? Maybe I should try out creating a tulpa. I probably don't have what it takes to completely follow through with it. I'll just be floating.
I should go back to reading my book.
>>801
Why not "live a happy life" or "help others live happy lives?" Those two goals are enough for me.

Not him, but I've been reading Kierkegaard lately. It's kind of boring. I'm not sure whether it's because I'm not used to the writing style or if he's just a boring dude.
>>804 Not him either but I'm reading On The Road. I used to read almost a book a night when I was younger but since I started living on the internet I only read a couple a pages at a time when I go to poop. It's a shame because the pile of books I want to get around to gets bigger all the time.
>>804
I am him, and I'm reading Cloud Atlas. I'm only a few chapters in, but I love the writing style(s) and the way it casually swaps the narrative entirely every so often. I can tell I'm going to enjoy the rest of this book.
I actually fin DSL to be a useful distro.
I need cake.
Gotta hurry
This music is far too dramatic for simply lounging around in my underwear.
Clearly, >>813, you must go out and do something heroic. But put some clothes on first.
I haven't played with legos in like, +10 years now. I miss my childhood.
I'm sitting in a library now. It is full of fat, depressing people who are looking at their email. There's a student to the left of me who fell asleep on top of her books. I'm trying to write something for work, but I can't think of anything else to write about. I also don't want to go home, because it's even more depressing.
I'll never understand people who go to the library to check their email. Sometimes they just click around it like something is going to change. It's always some weird email service with advertisements.
As far as libraries, the computers at mine won't let you open notepad. You can use MS Word, but not notepad.
Libraries should be pleasant places.
That tranquil atmosphere, where two guys on opposite sides of the U-shaped table can completely ignore each other indefinitely,
the read-books-in-silence mentality, that's what's great about this place.
Women and children are welcome too, I suppose.

I use Word to write my emails then send them as attachments.
Never eating mushrooms with ramen again.
BECAUSE OF HOW POOR I AM I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GO TO COLLEGE!!!!!!
Communism really ought to work.
>>823
Congratulations! What course are you thinking of taking?
Lying about your income on applications is one of the best real-life lessons college will provide. It may also be the only one...
>>828
Do you have to exaggerate it in order to get accepted as a potential benefactor?
Do you have to belittle it so that college won't try to rip you off?
>>833
Nope...
Love is pain.
>>833 Oh, my name is Andrew, creepy. Why did you think that other guys name is Andrew?
not me... I barely ever use a name, and will refrain from using one here again.
>>827 I really don't know. All I really want to do with my life is travel. I could do CS easy but I dont want my hobbie to become my job. Investigative Journalism or teaching English does interest me. What do you think I should do?
DQN: where it's always 1993 and everyone is named Andrew.
>>839
Can't make up your mind? Combine the best of both worlds: INVESTIGATIVE ENGLISH.
DQN DQN LOL!
DQN DQN LOL!
DQN DQN LOL!
DQN DQN LOL!
>>839 CS pays better, sorry to say.
There are still ways you can include travel with it; you may wish to consider discussing it with your college/university's (no doubt underused) career counseling services.
>>843
What are you talking about? That's a great choice. Even if it's not a real choice...
So why can't we outsource newspapers? Indians speak better English than Americans. Have them assemble local papers the way it's done here at a fraction of the price. All they have to do is copy and paste in stories from the AP wires and write obituaries from info submitted by an e-mail form. This might be a good project for CS, business, and journalism all in one...
>>846
See, that's investigative English right there! It's a real thing!

Follow your heart. Also, it doesn't hurt to take classes in multiple fields to get a feel for what you really want to do.
The fun thing about computer science is that you really can do it anywhere. Travel the world with your ThinkPad and code things. You don't have to physically be with someone to commit to their repository. Plus even if you work in meatspace, you are likely to find work in the following exciting places:
Or you could even get given money from MIT to travel the world and sit in exotic locations emailing people who send you their erotic fan fiction:

I dropped out of computer science, so I know what I am talking about.
