I'm going to go for the PhD.

Oh, but you need a degree for that, don't you? Every day I wish I studied harder...
What truly matters to us?

A good number of aspergers kids don't study and just learn everything the first time.
My autism service has connections with local businesses so they can hire autistic people for jobs they are usually good at. I am thinking of applying to be a game tester. I hear it's terribly boring work if you like video games, but I hate video games so it's okay.
Fuck you for making DQN shitty lately. Yes, you. You got me to leave T-C and now you've made me leave DQN. Are you proud of yourself?
Why did the Nomic thread die so swiftly and suddenly?
>>160
I, personally, cannot understand the rules any more. I know that it getting ridiculously complicated is sort of the point, but even so.
Flimsy little thing, but it should suffice.
>>161
We're all too weak. One of the public games on the internet had 4 MB of rules in plain text when it ended.
>>159
If you're the one whose every post was bitching about how DQN isn't what it used to be then yes, good riddance.
>>161
I think they're less complicated than they look, and since we're rewarded for breaking rules I think it shouldn't hurt to post without worrying about following the rules.
>>159
Tohno-chan was always shitty, you.
As for DQN, it's more a result of 4-ch as a whole dying. This place is...what 10 years old now? Older if you count back to how it was conceived. I've been posting here since the beginning, I've witnessed the gradual loss in post(s) quality/content. Frankly, it's the expected course of any community.
The only predominately active board on this site left is this DQN which has, at most, 10 active posters? And that's being generous. When a community dwindles down to nothing, you can't expect the quality to maintain a recognizable semblance over the years. People just don't care about text boards anymore besides a tiny niche community. Some of our older internet users here (those above 18) will get what I mean. For example, the few Telnet based BBS' left (electr0n, Mono, Lunduke, iscsBBS) may be alive, but aside from a tiny handful of users, they're all but dead now. The same goes for Usenet. We all remember which groups were the COOL groups, but visit them now, they're either dead or full of spam.
As >>164 says, instead of bitching about "how it was" (were you even able to use a computer then?), contribute some QUALITY! I wouldn't say 4-ch/DQN has gone to shit as you put it, but there is just a lack of regular users now, and we're all used to seeing the same crap day after day, to the point where we can recognize each other.

'Gott mit uns' sounds like 'Got mittens?'"
No, that one was driving the cart.
He was strapped to the top.
Apparently it was a polo mallet.
Yeah, like what they use in croquet, but longer.
How have you never heard of croquet?
It's like a wood hammer.
No, it's all wood.
They'll live.
Look, this is no big deal. No one important got hurt.
I like little bits. If I can do something or pass something over a network in a few KBs instead of a few MBs, then I will.
i think a vipper followed me on tumblr and their page made me smile, very nicely done

DQN hasn't even changed as much as you say it has. The post rate is still in the tens a day, which is more than two months worth of the once thriving /VIP/. As for the rest of 4-ch it has centralized to DQN or died away, same as everywhere else I mean even on 4chan and forums most forums die and the most populated ones live. What you are saying about usenet may be true but its death was more in part to ISP bans and negative publicity rather than user entropy. Telnet based BBS was always cumbersome and I'm glad it has all but died out, there is a reason the Roman legion wouldn't fair so well against today's marines. As for your claim that only a "Niche community" uses the textboards, that is true, but only a niche community uses futaba style BBS in the first place. I would say that DQN's low user base actually exceeds 20 people and that the title of the board "The Elitist Superstructure" applies well, there are only a handful of creative, funny, intelligent, and like minded people in the world that would like the style and users of DQN, and most of them are here. So enjoy it while it lasts because some of the good and some of the bad posters will die or leave and the board will change. Everything is constantly changing and you can do your part to make DQN good or you can sulk.
(ÉE) Things weren't as good as they were before I was born.
Whenever I'm away from the Internet for a few days, the first few days I don't think about it but then I remember that I'm going to come back to lots of stuff to read, emails, facebook notes, posts here and other boards I visit etc.
I'm back to page 10 on 420chan's /m/
Time and time again, I find that the image is better than the original.

Edgy autistic hipsters.
I can't believe I spent over $1000 on a necklace.
>>184
I can't believe that either. How does a DQN have so much money?
My fiancée gave me a cute wee chain necklace with little purple gemstones on it that she got given in primary school
Those are shitty headphones. Jesus, don't bite the fucking cord. Are people really going to buy them?
Nothing but tears.
Curse you, special relativity!
She's lost it; my god, she's lost it.

I now have a mental image of Jesus Christ biting into a cord that is somehow engaged in an act of copulation.
I blame you for my thigh-high sock fetish, you know.
All these internet/RL stalkers of mine I could build an army or slave force or something cool.
I found a thumbdrive, looked at it's files, got a name, SE'd the name, got a Facebook, copied down their email, sent them an email asking them is they want it.
If I lost my bag, people would go through my things.

Well I suppose I was accusing DQN as a whole - but sure, you'll do as well, why not.

I know what the Japanese character for "no" is so now when I look at manga or japanese books I see little "no"s floating everywhere.
I got glasses as big as my head.
And they still make my head hurt.
I wouldn't dare, not after last time.
I can't do anything right.
>>210
I don't know why, but it seems like "no" is the easiest hiragana character to remember. It was the first one I ever recognized, since it would always appear in the titles of Japanese things.
Related to topic, I'm not going to get this job. I'm going to die just filling in the application. Why can't I just be paid to be lazy and be a weeaboo.
Effort, ergh.
This is a lovely song but I have no idea what it's about.

Am I hungry or just bored?

I could live out my childhood dreams of being an independent game developer, but that sounds like a lot of work.
I flipped my share of tables a few years before a certain emoji became a mainstream reddit/9gag meme. Kids these days are traversing in my past.
