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/!
Ace Attorney is great! I can't believe I hadn't played it until now. It's exactly as good as I expected.
A wild kanji appeared! It's 卵, the kanji for egg! (Tamago)
>>502
Oh yeah. That reminded me of an OVA I watched called Tenshi no Tamago. I'll make sure to remember this kanji.
>>503
Damn it. I have been downloading that for a week. There's only one guy seeding and I always get shit speeds. Right now it's at 96.6%, 3kB/s.

It's a really good film.
How upset people are over "cisgender" upsets me. It's a term for something that has always existed, and of course you're going to get a few nutjobs. Stop giving them attention and assuming everyone is the same.
I'm less concerned about global warming and more concerned about how much shit (both figurative and literal) is being dispensed into our oceans by inconsiderate douchebags. Fish might not be self-aware, but they're kind of vital, and considering how many species make homes underwater, if sea creatures go down the natural world is going down with it.
This particular Monday I'm going to try not to post about cake on DQN. Instead, I'll post about not posting about cake on DQN.
>>509
You really need to stop.
Apparently I'm going out for a meal tomorrow and not getting home until around 9:30pm?? I had assumed it would be much earlier than that. This is concerning.
>>499 I used to remember the hiragana "ya" as if he was a wee man running away with a baby under his arm, and I remembered it in my head like "ya bastard, you're stealing ma baby!" and "su" is like my friend Sue because she has massive tits.
>>507
Terms for things that have always existed aren't always good terms. For example, before the term cisgender was coined, the closest thing that particular latin prefix was used for was cisvestism/cisvestite, a rarely used term in psychology for the practice of wearing clothes intended for the same gender but not that person's proper station (e.g. a grown man who dresses in boy's clothes... or all sorts of dress-ups you see in porn, though I guess that's more like a fetish and not the now not-exactly-credited psychological condition).
And the first few times someone comes across a word makes all the difference. These days, it seems someone who matches the description is likely to first come across the term while they are being insulted (e.g. being told they have "privilege", are "scum", are "transphobic", etc.), or come across it in a similar context where someone else was being insulted. Then in connotation, it is no longer the neutral term it was used as--a bad term guilty by association (in reverse, this is how you can slip backhanded compliments under the radar: sugar-coat an insult someone doesn't know well enough, and they'll probably think "nepotist" means philanthropist or something). It will take years to see how things ultimately pan out, but if the next few decades pan out the way I'm thinking they are, it's definitely going to ride the euphemism treadmill simply because some radical elements have used it in insulting ways. No great debate was ever carried by this style of name-calling.
It's not time yet but I want to go do something.
Is anyone else watching the new Yuru Yuri?
>>516
Not my kind of thing, and it shouldn't be yours. You should all be ashamed.
Aspirin is exciting.
Lie-ins are nice but I wish I didn't have to worry so much about getting the bus at the right time.
I haven't been on IRC in a while. That was nice.
I'm back on Twitter.
Bleaurgh.
I hate liars! People who lie fill me with disgust! Those who lie to themselves are only slightly worse! I wish that people with warped views of reality and the need to mislead others would kill themselves!
I'm so heartbroken I want to puke.
MATRICIDE!
I wonder if anyone has ever put "Good game, next map!" on their tombstone.
I'm an espeon!
Check your entitlement, cis scum.
i got a good feeling!
Yes...no...
I can't decide.
Let's flip a coin. QEII: No.
...flip!
Yes.
Saying "cis scum" makes you just as much of a bigot as anyone else. I'm sorry, but it's true. Stop thinking you're so special.
I love making my cis scum.
Try reading it out loud.
I hate the people who whine about the people who point out that certain post/ers are un-DQN. It's just flat out hypocrisy. Be honest: There ARE certain posters who don't belong here, and you're ONE OF THEM if you describe yourself as being the type, even unconsciously so.
Also >>539,542 should go back to /b/. Probably that fag Espeon talking to himself
>>543
I'm not a fag. And you should probably go back to /b/ with >>539,542 because you're a hypocrite. And everyone knows that anonymous is a hypocrite.
Also, if I was talking to myself I would attempt to embarrass myself in a hilarious way, like "accidentally" forgetting to clear the name field whilst replying. Or I would probably troll myself into tears. I would do something to entertain a reader, you know.
>>544 the most entertaining thing you could do is stop posting
>>536
Typical cisgender entitlement. Nobody thinks they're "special". When blacks were fighting for equal rights, they weren't just attention whores who thought they were "special". It was a real issue, and even now white privilege still exists.
It's exactly the same with transpeople and cispeople.
>>246
Haha you're acting just like one of those dumbfucks who use tumblr
Gender is a social construct and artificial. It is useless to create your own gender identity or describe yourself as being "male" or "female" mentally or in other non-physical terms for this reason. It is purely artificial. If anything, gender is more a linguistic construct than all else.
If you have a penis, you are male. If you are male, you have a penis. Why should it mean anything more than this? This kind of relationship works and it is how people expect it to work. Go ahead and wear dresses, but I do not see the point in saying that you're a woman if you do not have female genitalia.
>Gender is a social construct and artificial.
Then we're in agreement. And if people want to identify as a social construct irrespective of their sex, why not let them?
What you're referring to in the second part of your post is biological sex. Nobody denies that people born with a penis and XY chromosomes are different to people with a vagina and XX chromosomes. But if those people choose they want to be a gender different to their physical sex, or that they were born as such, what's wrong with that?
>>547
I like how you accidentally ended up attack someone who insulted Homestuck.
I used to think DQN was un-trollable. Now I realize it's quite easy, just make a bunch of shitty posts.
>>552
And I thought this wasn't the shiptoasting thread. ( ;~;)
(・∀・) Grandpa, do you remember heh man?
( ´ω`) I am going to pretend for your own sake that you didn't say that.
Ooo ma teai te!
I want that guys scarf.
Please refrain from licking me, wench.
So long of a wait.
Bitcoin just went up how much?
Pretty...so very pretty.
Yatta! Basically.
Finally. Motivation!
It's funny while I don't drink, in the photos I look like the most plastered person at the party.
I haven't ripped my hair out in 24 hours. I feel proud of myself.

>>450 here. Heh, actually you're wrong. Marriage was never a high priority for us. It was only put on the table in the first place because I'm likely to spend a year or more in Japan in the near future, and it would be easier to get a visa for my spouse than for a legally-single girlfriend. Also, she would be happier with me inheriting some of her stuff than her siblings and almost-estranged parents.
It's mildly amusing to watch someone do the very things they yell at you for doing.
More than mildly amusing, in fact.
And COOL FREE SHELL ACCOUNTS.
The integer is not online and we require its presence for discussions regarding, and I quote, "nancho parties".
I'm using some old LARPing clothes as pajamas. They feel really nice.
>>577
at some point while using http://deathrow.vistech.net/ I left a quote someone thought was good enough to put in a quote collection. which was actually kind of freaky because it was a fairly dumb quote among a collection of pretty good ones. well, it's not online anymore, so it's safe to say that I guess.
>>578

I'm glad to know that he's alive... but I really wonder what's going on in his life. I want to talk to him. I miss him.
>>582
Those days, however pleasant they may have been, are gone.
Onto the next challenge, I guess.
>>583
Oh yeah, they're gone. And my current challenge is letting go of the past without giving up on the person I care about.
>>585
Thanks.
Hate them because you want to get one more chance, or because you want to forget about the past and say that things are never going to happen again but someone wants a second chance from you?
If it's the latter... it just seems so depressing.
I haven't talked to my Japanese host family since I stayed there in 2006, and I only have their snail-mail address ever since the mother changed employers. They live fairly close to a river in Kyushu, though. Think I ought to send them a card, expressing my hope that their house was not too badly flooded last week?
the worst thing in the world? knowing that you were killed, in a movie theater, by a shitty cosplayer.
I had a dream that Portgas D. Ace was my lover. He was very sweet and kind.
>>592
I wonder if you're talking about somebody I know. Is there any sort of identifier you'd be willing to drop? Like initials or a first name?
>>593
I'd imagine that people disappearing isn't an uncommon thing around these parts of the Internet, but that's possible.
I'm afraid that I can't state even his initials without feeling like I'm telling too much... but if you post some identifier(s) of the person(s) you're thinking of, I'll probably be fine with saying whether I might know them or not. Initials or names would be better than actual monikers (which are often much more unique), to keep things vague.
>>594
That's understandable. I know that it's most likely a coincidence, but I'm too curious. Does it happen to be HR?
The song stuck in my head for the past two hours alternates between 合鍵ガンマンと合鍵忍者 and the guitar solo from Hotel California. I'm okay with this.
I am absolutely appalled by Reddit and how they treat women as disposable sex objects. I don't know why I go there, it makes me depressed every time.
>>597
It's completely backwards for a site like Reddit. Then there's nonsense like /r/MensRights, and the usual 'friendzoned-therefore-all-women-are-sluts' blogging.
I wish people would hurry up and realize it's an awful site already. It's not just *le FFFUUUUU derpina that's the problem: it's everything about the place.
