Not everybody lived off the land back in the olden days. Raising crops and livestock was still a farmer's job, it wasn't like everyone had these skills.
I understand drugs, but I don't understand downers like weed and alcohol. Cocaine and caffeine actually make you feel good.
Weed gets me buzzing, I rip a bong then get down to business, it's not a downer for me but it affects people in different ways. Cocaine is overrated, I've had better fun for longer and cheaper with other substances.
Also, I guess it's true in some ways for lots of drugs, but to me cocaine seems to cause a lot of misery at every stage of cultivation, harvest, distribution, then with its users. Any time I've had it it's been disappointing, it makes nice people behave like assholes and assholes even bigger assholes. Have you ever hung out with a cocaine addict? Really annoying
Today, I am thankful for snel.

I wonder where oldfriends went... I don't believe they all moved on with their lives, I certainly haven't. Not one jot...
>>104
Most did, cant be a teenager forever. The rest dispersed amongst other imageboards and social media if they kept talking to strangers online.
You can see old tripfags on Reddit talking about suicide, and meta threads worrying about userbase rot and average age, there is no going back.
nicotine/tobacco and caffeine make me feel hyper, focused and productive even though I probably am not
Strega Nony!
Weed isn't really a downer, I used to smoke up then go for a jog or go lift weights. Depends on the strain, the amount you smoke, your frame of mind etc. It's still a pretty boring drug though, if you need drugs to feel artificially relaxed or artificially excited then consider that you probably have a micronutrient deficiency that you'd be better off correcting than smoking weed or doing cocaine. The only worthwhile drugs are psychedelics.
I am capable of using the power of my gigabrain to meme myself into either the deepest most restful sleep that anyone on this board has ever had, or a frothing bloodthirsty berserker rage, at a moment's notice. All because I take magnesium and eat lots of beef and fatty fish.
Midwits really do love their psychedelics
Weed rules.
I wonder why Jack Black hasn't caught any ire for playing a Mexican in Nacho Libre
A faint wistful sadness evoked by the impermanence of things.

because playing a different race/ethnicity/nationality has always been okay in kayfabe
Caffeine at small doses makes me not feel so tired. At larger doses it helps me focus and do somewhat better at some things, but I also tense up and have a headache before long. So then I take ibuprofen to help with that.
I'd like to try weed and/or shrooms, but I work for the man and it's just not worth the trouble.
>>112 I'd guess because the kinds of people who enjoy that movie are also the kinds of people who don't care that much. It's not like GitS where there was some expectation of faithfulness and respect to the source material; you watch a Jack Black movie specifically to see Jack Black goof around.
I don't think Tewi should be pronounced Tei because the myth of the rabbit of Inaba predates "wi" and "i" merging and she would still pronounce her own name with "wi" when introducing herself.
Looking at posts I made on other boards 5 to 10 years ago.
>>116 i done been saying this, she's thousands of years old and comes from a time when people still pronounced wi like wi
modern japanese speakers may call her tay but that doesnt mean i need to
okay but is there a MAD of tewi singing chocolate rain?
Jack Negroid
okay butt
>>113 all this drug talk gave me a wistful sadness for a wonderful time in my life
My slow, crushing mental breakdown proceeds. Things are always rough for me around this time of year. I've talked to a couple of people about it, and remarked that it's not as bad as last year. Which was true at the time I said it, but I'm starting to have my doubts.
Last winter was especially bad for me and I don't wish to repeat it. In certain ways, things are undoubtedly better than they were then, and I've had things under pretty good control since like February. But here it comes again, and I find myself with almost no ability to concentrate on important things. My brain will not do it. And that not only makes it so I can't work very well, it also gets in the way of me enjoying things I should enjoy. Would-be minor stressors stop me in my tracks and send my brain for the quickest, least-satisfying dopamine hit it can find. I want to do something useful, but the absolute best I can do seems to be a 4-hour wiki binge, an embarrassing amount of online window-shopping, some catchup on non-urgent aspects of one of my hobbies, and only the easiest 18% of the work it takes to clean my living space.
I don't know why but I can never get into doujins/h-manga if they are full color, it just doesn't feel right
is complaining about complaining complaining?
>>128
No, but it's worth a shot. One of the things that has worked somewhat for me has been a noise generator and that's sort of in the same direction. If I listen to music or podcasts, though, it usually pulls me out of the zone.
rain noise is nice
dead inside
manga typesets that make no effort to match the original style
i wonder if there's at least one semi-active ib or textboard out there that doesn't have a social failure blogging about his/her social failure adventures
>>135
Yes for imageboards, but they're either hyper-focused on a single topic, someone who thinks they're cool shitting themselves in front of others and don't know it like the cyberpunk people, or dont accept any blogging to avoid failed normalfags.
As for textboards, maybe 4ct? the bigger japanese ones will mock you for it if done in the wrong places.
It's kind of bizarre that there are so many tribes and cultures on a format that has around ~600 users outside of 4chan.
I'd rather have fried over chips and guac any day.
posting anonymously is inherently a social failure adventure
Im starting to think electronics really are listening to us.

7 years ago setting your social media bio to something like "TIME person of the year, 2011. Winner of as many Tours de France as Lance Armstrong" was the height of normalfag comedy
>>141 because people did risk benefit analysis on both and one had a positive EV and the other was negative?
Imagine actually being glad you're alive.
Maybe making ( ´_ゝ`) the default name was a mistake, now everything is depressing and the depressive posts and the /pol/bait and the tranny posting all seem so much more serious and sad and malicious. The long era of Shii was like a time capsule, a permanent spring. Now that is gone and there is only empty void in the future.
>>147 I see it as kind of a reflection of the current net culture at large. Those halcyon days are gone, the entire internet is serious and sad and malicious now, even the eternal, elitist superstructure can't fight against the tide forever...
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
shii = dqn's Showa: a tumultuous beginning, but in the end a long, peaceful, prosperous era of cultural and economic development
( ´_ゝ`) = dqn's Reiwa: an era still in its infancy but already marked by chaos and unrest and a demoralized, depressed populace. but who knows what the future might hold?
come to think of it the late 1800s/early 1900s were probably some of the worst times possible to be born as an "average person"
if you somehow made it through the great war, the spanish flu, the red terror/stalinist purges, the depression, world war 2, the holocaust, the resulting famines and ethnic cleansings across europe, then you'd have died of old age right around the time of the vietnam war and the cuban missile crisis and such, going to the grave thinking that one way or another the world was doomed to perish in nuclear fire. if you lived especially long you might have had some momentary hope with the collapse of the ussr and the supposed "end of history" and then had a final shock upon your soul inflicted by the fresh horror of the yugoslav wars.
Just make a blogging thread on personal issues or be more playful about it, its not that hard
>>147
Given that during the US elections most of the posts were about crazy frog's and William Shatner's music careers I don't think they're that depressed or serious
why the fuck is minecraft $27 and why does asking if it goes on sale gives you so many non-answers
>>157 I think not having sales was the idea from the start... just pirate it if you're not planning on playing online.
>>147 in 2ch culture ( ´_ゝ｀)ﾌｰﾝ is more like when someone says "hmmm" or "okay" as a form of ridicule. I feel it is an appropriate aloof response to the times.
(e.g. "Do you like ligma?" "Hmmm.")
Cute girl convulsing violently in a magnificent full-body orgasm for a good minute and a half, then shuddering at random for several subsequent minutes as the aftershocks work their way through her system.

Releasing your emergency mittens deep inside her, and all over her face and chest
>>159 I only noticed that I said it so much when my stepdad said “I knew you were going to say that” but that's basically my default polite response to when people tell me something they think is interesting. I don't mean it to be aloof, but it's more polite than saying “Yeah I already knew that” all the time
MORE SADNESS! MORE SNOW!
Cool, I just got offered a job at EA! I said I was flattered but no thanks
I've already got the sadness quota filled up, but there's no snow to be seen.

NTR artists have autism, they draw the most stupid scenarios for characters not even in a relationship.
especially with fate, oh no I got cucked by the ghost of king arthur
Plenty of snow around here as of late! ( ^ヮ^)
...and all of you as well!
i've seen jpod cited as the point where douglas coupland really just stopped trying and decided to cash in, but it was my entry point to his books... some points to consider
i) i was a high-schooler when i read it
ii) i probably picked it cause my local library had it
iii) i didn't know about microserfs at the time
iv) i remember the atheist character turning christian being a real wall-banger moment for high-school me and it still seems really dumb in hindsight
v) coupland's probably going down in hell as an end-of-history booster (i remember reading something he wrote about how cool it was that east germans had mcdonalds now in the early 90s) and it's definitely pretty dumb to write a book claiming to speak for a whole generation (but gen x wasn't a bad book and basically everything in it is still being said by millennial hipsters today. "brazilification" in particular)
vi) i'm still processing couplandism >10 years after first being exposed so i guess it's quality art if it makes me think this much. or i'm just dumb
viii) jpod has a guy who's addicted to robo in it LOL
I wish I could recover my PP just by drinking water...

Read through a few old thoughts threads. Interesting stuff. I wonder how come 2 different people independently came to the phrase "Cinque Benis."
I sometimes have deep anxiety over burning in hell or similar fates after death, so I have been praying to everything or pleading with whatevers out there if anything is out there.
I don't want to come back as some awful deep sea creature either, if reincarnation is real, I should do some good deeds and charity work while I'm at it.
>>186
I grew up in a religious cult; once I worked free of that I found myself 120% done with the idea of the supernatural in its entirety. Nothing/nobody's listening except yourself, you won't come back as something else, there is no fate after death except infinite nothing you'll never perceive, and I'm at the point where I'm pretty comfortable with that. I would argue that you should do some good deeds and charity work, but not out of a sense of fear or guilt. Just do what you can to make things a bit nicer in the world today and the world will be a bit nicer for it...why wait for an eternal reward?
I mean, I won't deny that prayer has value, the same sort of value that meditation has. Neither will cause things to violate causality, conservation, or any other property of the universe. But they can expose and explore things that are important to you, they can help you find peace and relief, they can help you ask questions and figure things out.
I remember pleading with the universe for a cute girl to squeeze, and then finding a very willing one before long. Did the universe deliberately provide me a cute girl to squeeze? No, the universe didn't deliberately do anything, I just happened to have pretty good timing that time. Basically none of my other prayers, some of which were extremely sincere and passionate, were answered, ever. More generally, if the great whatever wants to hook me up with a cute girl on request but not materially protect other less-fortunate kids from crippling poverty, corruption, disease, rape, and untimely death...I'll take my chances on the callous, indifferent universe instead. If I'm wrong after all and I come back as some awful deep sea creature, so what? Most likely I wouldn't comprehend enough to suffer from such an existence any more than the average human does anyway.
>>188 having prayers answered is a very different thing than there being a higher observer. “Supernatural” is an interesting way of describing it, since if there was a Creator then it would be the most “natural” thing there is!
I was thinking about it watching that video of the dying ciliate in the other thread, how someone watching me through a 200x lens would see the same thing: me milling around bumping into things and spraying fluids everywhere
Why is Archer helping Triángulo de la Muerte?

I'm slowly making my way through them. I've been reading a little periodically throughout the day. I started on #24.5 for some reason, so I've read mostly the later-middle ones. 24 had a good conversation on the different eras of DQN. There was a huge decline in quality at 26 with a nadir at 27-28. I stopped browsing DQN around thread 28 till just recently, so #29-35 will be totally new content once I get to them.
I started researching how to construct a functional halberd out of modern materials and my computer locked up. They're coming for me.

I am not religious, this is just in case, its the uncertainty of it all.
I dont want to burn in hell, regardless if its Christian or Hindu.
What's with the whole "autism is not a disease that needs to be cured" thing?
I thought people with ASD felt very isolated and cut off from the world, sounds like a disease to me.
>>193
I guess it's like social anxiety or depression (?), where it's better to deal with the symptoms through therapy or training vs. risking side effects...
Actually, if there was a pill I could take to instantly become less of a weirdo without any negatives, that would be pretty interesting. But there's probably a reason it doesn't exist.
>>193
I think maybe the idea is that they're isolated and cut off because people treat it like a disease, and if people accepted socially unacceptable autism stuff (e.g. stimming, not making eye contact) as part of normal human variation, they'd fit in fine and be perfectly happy. Don't know if that's true, though.
>>193
Honestly, most of the people saying that aren't autistic, they are usually just "neurodivergent allies", or, they are people who think they have autism. So many self diagnosers out there who think they're autistic because they're socially awkward losers who like anime and programming languages when really they're just painfully undersocialized. Real autists aren't just socially uncomfortable people, you can tell there is something off just by looking at them, they have difficulty verbalizing, they don't "stim" by fidgeting with their fingers or some object, they literally shake back and forth and grunt to themselves and don't seem aware that anybody is even watching, so on and so on. It's honestly an injustice that socially awkward losers talk over people with legitimate problems that simply are not comparable to theirs.
I enjoyed playing CrossCode immensely.
I don't know if it's an excellent game objectively, but it hit all the right notes for me personally. It makes me feel real comfy.
>>197
I like the mystery dungeon games even if they aren't objectively good
>>198
On a similar note, I had a lot of fun playing Mercenaries 2.
Speaking of autism, reading the stories about james rolfe being autistic is hilarious
