I preferred the thread title as it was in Part 5 over the shorter version in Part 6, and so I decided to copy the style of the former. May this THREAD Restoration usher in a new era of peace, prosperity, progress and posts about current thoughts for /dqn/!

Somebody made the whole Geeks vs. Nerds issue even worse.
I'm downloading a rom for a 101 Dalmations game for the Gameboy Color. I've lost control of my life
>>101
I strongly disagree with many parts of the image, mostly though the claim that true geeks use a mac while nerds use PCs. I also noted the lack of any label describing nerd fashion choices, to contrast the geeks' "ironic t-shirts". Instead the nerd is merely depicted in the same exaggerated costume that has been a part of American pop culture since the mid-20th century. The idea that only nerds are interested in sci-fi also clashes with my beliefs.
I guess my strong feelings about the issue confirm Munroe's assertion that I must be one or the other, if not both.
I wonder whether getting pandas to breed is more or less of a challenge than trying the same with D&D players.
I read a scary story and now I feel frozen...
I want to poop. But I do't want to get away from my desktop.
>>101 hehe except for the will ferrel part, and I wear more band t-shirts than ironic t-shirts, all the geek stereotypes fit me. I'm a little miffed at "techno music" when they probably don't actually mean techno and just mean anything bleepy.
I hope my cat is all right.
>>106
Less, as male pandas do not outnumber female pandas by several hundred to one.
I CAN DO ANYTHING!

Your problem is that accessible ASCII substitute is a typewriter quotation mark (" \ http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0022/index.htm). And no one, I repeat, no one prevents you from using proper unicode quotation marks if you want to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Typing_quotation_marks_on_a_computer_keyboard look, this is easy as hell. And these quotation marks look beautiful unlike double grave accents and apostrophes which look shit followed by a simple ".

Learn LaTeX and all will be well. even my captcha for this post is tex, so you can tell the board agrees with me.
Let's just go with the duck.
>>120
LaTeX makes people go all wonky and stuff! Just look at this guy who clings to his apostrophes, even though it's only in TeX they look pretty. And this website is hardly TeX!

I mean, there is time and place for everything. But, please, stick to the common or proper typography in places where other people can see your text.
I don't believe I've ever carried out mathematical induction with more than one value to the power of n. This is considerably frustrating.
>>125
Yeah, original ASCII, 20 years prior to X. When was that? Why do you still use it? You are missing the point anyway. ` and ' look terrible as quotation marks.
And, nope, he uses gh. So you're kinda wrong on both points.
My boyfriend is quitting LoL because of me and I feel really bad about it
> The original ASCII.
Did not define . That came in the 60s (so did lowercase letters). as left quotation mark in ASCII was a short-lived, single-nation mistake, coming in standards that are now way the hell superceded.

A convenient feature I had not yet heard about. So that's how you get monospace text inside a paragraph! And here I was afraid I'd have to resort to |@

Geordies and mackems and why they all hate each other so much.
Thumb tastes like milk.
I'm thinking about thinking. So deep!
>>133
I'm a Mackem and I don't hate Geordies.
But maybe that's because I don't follow football.
What have they done to deserve such a sight? NOTHING.

That is some pretty damned mediocre handwriting, if you don't mind me saying so.

Although my handwriting isn't much better when I try, this sample seems really half assed. You're talking to your only true friends here, grey. Put at least an hour into it. Nice beach though.
The cat I'm taking care of for someone hates me. I put her food and water out and clean her litter box, she hides under the bed for whatever fucking reason she does that for, and we generally try to avoid each other. Any time I get near her she hisses at me, and I tell her to go fuck herself (too bad she can't understand what I'm saying.)
It really seems like this is a trial run for married life.
D: Maybe she's just high-strung and afraid of strangers. My cat is like that. With me she's very affectionate, but she has never really accepted anyone else. When I've gone on vacation and asked friends to board her, they tell me afterwards that she hid in the closet the whole time, miaouing mournfully, and I have to go into that closet, detach her claws from the carpet, and stuff her in the pet carrier to get her home.
>>144
That's probably it.
I'm just sick of dealing with an animal that either is afraid of or hates me all the time. I like animals fine, but my idea is that they can do their own thing and I don't need to know about it. In any case her owner will be back soon, which should make things less stressful for both of us.

Why do people talk down on marriage like it is literally hell? You do realize marriage is a choice right? And that it is okay to wait many years before realizing that you really want to live with someone?
>>147 I'm always hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.
Also, marriage isn't a choice for me. I'm an only child from a traditional family. If I take too long some of my relatives will try to find someone for me and force me into it.
>>143-144
In general, cats do not like being left in another place with (what are to them) strangers; it's like a nightmare where their home and loving family have been taken from them--one of them is bad enough, both is just-fucking-kill-me-already territory. You can get such cats to accept their new (temporary) reality with some psychological bullshit, but it takes time.
You know what the internet needs more of these days? Drama.

I think so, too. Drama is the most entertaining thing web communities can have. I love stirring the pot.

So I ordered this Japanese book published in 1939 the other daym but when it arrived, the pages and cover looked so yellowed that I thought they must have sent me a book from 1912 by mistake. It seems to be the correct book, though, and the publisher information states Shōwa 14 as the year it came out. Think I could still get a partial refund out of this?
Fat girls always wear sunglasses and have a frozen coffee drink in their hand. This one fat gay guy I knew, too.
Do gays find the notion of "as long as they act straight" offensive? Because it's exactly how I feel. If sexual preference is that tied to flamboyance in attitude, then I am truly homophobic and hate all gay people.
>>156 it's just yellowed paper, right? Unless it was advertised in some other condition or extraordinarily expensive or some other unusual circumstance, I wouldn't bother. books is books.
>>158
Well, that and the paper covering the spine of the paperback has largely flaked off.@I did pay only 1050 yen (plus shipping), and the description pointed out that the book showed "the usual signs of age", also the printing inside hasn't faded noticeably, so I guess I could let it go.
It's 2012. There is no excuse to be a homophobe.

Turns out "woman" comes from the Old English word "wifman" (female human; male human was "werman") and does not mean "of man". Similar deal with "male" and "female".
My crazy feminist English language teacher lied to me!
I need to stop getting involved with younger people. They're cute but so juvenile and clingy.
Good night, DQN.
>>173
"Clingy" is the most stupid word in the world ever.
I want to go back to the old days where people would marry within months. Even if most people would (and probably did) end up miserable.
>>177
Well, most young girls don't get highly attached for any good reason at all. They want some fairy tale idea of love that doesn't mean anything but compassion without basis, a reciprocal closeness bound only by how "close" you appear to be. Also I think these "old days" you are talking about were when arranged marriages were predominant.
>>177
No, clingy is a very descriptive and useful word. It describes well the sort of person who won't allow her boyfriend a single day alone, who leaves him text messages when he's at work and wants always to know where he is and what he's doing and to likewise share her own location and doings. The sort who thinks if a couple spends a week apart, they're in a bad relationship.
Some guys like this, I'm sure. One man's "clingy" is another man's "dedicated", after all.
"Clingy" works when the person just doesn't know how to relinquish their feelings for you.
> Some guys like this, I'm sure. One man's "clingy" is another man's "dedicated", after all.
I was about to say: I would quite like this.
I can understand how people would find it annoying, but even though I like my personal space I would really enjoy having someone cling to me 24/7. As long as they don't go full-on yandere, of course.
I try to subtly split imperatives whenever I can.
It would be good if my girl was slightly more yandere
>>181
Well, for me it maybe depends on the sort of girl. I would have to really be crazy about her in the same way she is about me for it to work. Otherwise it just would get tedious and grating.
i love clingy girls
I'm very clingy, I wish my man was more clingy
Nothing turns me on more than two people who are obsessed with each other
>>186
You sound like you would enjoy Chikamatsu's bunraku plays.
>>186
I know how you mean. The last person I was with was really avoidant, it was the worst ;_;
>>187
Speaking of which, bunraku puppets creep me the fuck out. The first time after I had to watch a performance in class, I had recurring nightmares for the better part of a week.
Somehow, I'm reminded of Shiraki Aeka.
>>186
>>189
Really, if you push him further with clingyness, more often than not he'll end up running away. Well, I can't speak for most men. But some of us are just like that. Give us some goddamn breathing room, please.
Clingy girls drive me out of my mind (in the bad way.) Unless I find the sort of girl I can obsess over, that unlikely one in 100,000+, I just want someone who's as independent as I am. But again, I can only speak for myself.
Sorry for being all serious, but this brought up some nasty memories for me.
Posting on DQN is way slow compared to other boards.

Just saw the porn title "Son's friend to watch pro wrestling,Mother VS Younger Brother's friend-in-law"
What the hell is a friend-in-law?
I'm hungry.
Clingyness is the worst when, even after you leave and say go away & stop stalking to me, they follow you around.
