America's national sport? Outdoor military games.
This is not the first time that I have dreamed about crossdressing.
I guess I probably didn't screw that presentation up any more than anyone else maybe!
>>803
What was it about?
A friend of mine was reading a lecture on functional programming at his university a few weeks ago. He sneaked this picture into one of the slides: http://www.fybertech.com/4get/13320212582846.png
But he says that people liked it anyway.
I can't remember how much vodka I've had tonight.

The Western Tradition is pretty good, and lecturer Eugen Weber likes to make a lot of interesting asides. Maybe not super thorough, but it got me through a CLEP a couple years ago.

I think my experiment was a success.
>>807, were you lying down like a log and thinking about death?
Because that's what I'd do if the internet suddenly ceased to exist. I'd just lie down and wait for death.
I'm going to explode I've had it
>>804
It was for one of a limited number of funded PhD places. The presentation went OK, but the fully-technical trick questions afterwards were hideous. I'll know what the rest of my life looks like on Monday.
Foolish girl, why do you try to resist?
>>808
No, I was actually very busy!
I started this because I observed that I waste much of my meager free time on activities which profit me nothing.
My goal was to see if I was addicted to frivolous internet activities (FIA) or if I could actually quit whenever I want. The term FIA includes all activities involving the use of a PC or other internet capable device which have no value other than that of entertainment or pleasure. Note that under this definition, not all activities on the internet are FIA, and not all FIA necessarily involve internet access. For example, I can watch anime without accessing the internet, but it is still an FIA.
My procedure was to write a list of productive activities that I could perform and refer to that list whenever I feel the urge to visit a BBS, watch porn and/or anime, or perform other miscellaneous FIA. The idea was that I could immerse myself in a productive activity, thereby distracting myself from momentary FIA urges.
I followed the procedure with moderate success, eliminating an estimated 95% of FIA from my weekly activities (my resolve flagged a little near the end). As a result, I slept more, accomplished more during free time, and performed better in my classes and job. I also was able to roughly determine the extent of my own self-control.
From these results, I have concluded that I must try to incorporate this procedure into my daily life, but in shorter time increments. For example, I might have "No Internet For An Hour" Hour, then reward myself with a predetermined amount and form of FIA. I hope it will work out.
>>815
Just FYI, FIA stands for Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, which you, in the US, would call Automobile Competition Committee for the United States. It governs various motorsport events like Formula 1 (IndyCar) or WRC (NASCAR).
Please use "miscellaneous internet activities" instead of your term.
Well, they really ought to be afraid, all things considered.
I just fucking learned something!
There's a Magnemite on my Pokewalker.
His name is Polarity and I love him.

You should totally get yourself an eevee. Eevees are cute and fluffy.
I'm sad today.
The AVGN doesn't chug beer any more when he gets mad at a game. When did that happen? Was there some serious deliberation like James Rolfe didn't want to glorify binge drinking or something, or did it just kind of fade out of the picture?
>>824 Maybe he got liver or kidney disease, and he was told he would die if he kept drinking so much alcohol.
If I am going to commit an act of genocide, I'll have to do it later.
Sorry, but it seems that dreaming of pictures is the best I can do.
>>825 well, what did he drink? Maybe one beer per video? That isn't really anything at all, even if you drink it all in ten seconds. I was always under the impression that he was sponsored by Yuengling or Rolling Rock.
Who cares anyway, since he kind of sucks - same "I'm so mad at this game" shtick every video. Better than some Youtube game idiots, for sure, but it still gets old pretty quick.
I felt her image inflate to fill the entire inside of my skull, painting my mind like a canvas - as I painted her, so long ago. I'm scared.
THERE IS NO DISC THREE YOU ASSHOLE
How come my nose can excrete more mucus than my penis? It isn't fun! The evolution is stupid! Your god is stupid if you don't believe in evolution!
We both know how this is going to end. Prepare your fingers.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I wish i had slept instead of pokemoning then i could have gotten all that work done and had a chance to sleep
>>836
Then you would regret both not doing your work and not pokemoning.
Have some faith, you!
I kind of want to make a DQN Synchronet BBS that also crawls USENET, specifically comp.os.plan9 and higher. I could mount games on it like syn does. But I still have to figure out how to configure it yet.
Can a plant be cute?
When the DQN Short Novel Audiobook does come out I'm buying 80 copies and giving them away for christmass presents. Sadly I will be the only recipient since I am always alone for christmass.
😡 not cool man

The only thing keeping Flash alive is porn, ads, and Homestuck.
I have resolved to never find out what Homestuck is
Smoopys Smoopy smoopy
>>850
But porn and ads are a huge part of the Internet. That's like saying the only thing keeping the steel industry alive is the automobile industry.
Now, all I have to do is seduce myself.
How come Jeremy Clarkson doesn't have a knighthood yet?

Except on windows.

If you're going to operate a pirate radio station don't operate it on Military, NPR, or WS bands.
>>842 I thought we went through this, people claimed the chapters they were going to read (I picked a couple) and then... nothing happened
>>865
The book isn't done being written yet, plus no one is motivated enough to get on vocaroo.
I'm the same as >>864. I enjoyed reading through Problem Sleuth, even though the later parts got a little complicated, but Homestuck is just ridiculous. Eventually I just gave up trying to keep up with it. There's something to be said for the value of a succinct, self-contained story. Homestuck is just a monstrosity.
Am I twitching again?
All this talking about Homestuck makes me want to make an AA of the "let me tell you about Homestuck" security guy. That look on his face is just priceless.
No, I'm talking about the little voice in the back of my head that keeps chanting "Incest, incest, incest".
I can't get the Hiragana deck I downloaded from Textfugu to work with Anki for Android.
Why on earth would someone need flashcards to learn hiragana?
This board isn't individualist enough.
>>877
We're a superstructure, that's only one step up from the hivemind of the citadel, there must be no individualism or we'll be destroyed and no longer be elitist.
>>879
It isn't hivemind if you don't start agreeing with me! Now, get out of my thread, I'm going to weep here and wallow in my own misery.
Spilling and spinning through. That's all I'll need.

Actually, believe it or not, I was trying to mock you.
>>883
My reaction might have looked naive, but in reality I was mocking your feeble aping. That's because ― let's just face the harsh truth for a second ― I'm way smarter than you.
It's five past catharsis!
I went to go apply for a job at a bar and the Rustic Overtones are all here eating and debating conspiracy theories about the Boston bombings.
Which is better: to make a mediocre, forgettable post or not to post at all?
>>890
It depends, sometimes a collection of forgettable posts can be better together than no posts at all.
Look upon yourself and weep! For you have become nought but a receptacle.
Hey, you're a pretty nice guy.
I'm starting to dig sushi
