>>6731 Some day, one day, all shall return to us. I hope

epic

Powder Toy is pretty fun to mess around in. basically zero stress

100% orange juice.

Old-ass JRPGs. Dragon Quest specifically. Gonna go on a grand adventure to save the world and defeat the king of evil, but first I'm gonna spend 20 minutes stabbing slimes until I have enough money for a copper sword or something.

I dreamt an irish bus driver kept incorrectly correcting my pronunciation of regular English words. Woke and thought "yeah, that's pretty much how it is."

I'm here, obviously.

Wanna hear something funny? I again started to sleep like a normal person. I used to stay up till 3 am, but now I go to bed at 10pm. The story behind it though is kinda cute, kinda pathethic. Maybe. I messaged a guy on instagram because I liked his art and asked if we could draw together. He opened up to me about his troubles and I related with him, so I conforted him. Skip two months later and it turns out the guy was actually a girl, we kinda hit off really well and are acting all sweet to each other. We spend whole days texting each other, sending pics, sometimes voice messages. Trouble is she sleeps at 10pm. So I kinda had to adapt to that I guess. Yeah, I know how cringe internet relationships are. If I should even call it that. And don't worry, I do realize all the things wrong with it. But I genuinely care about her. It's not about me really, I just want her to be in a better place and I hope I somewhat can help with that.

Lately I've been up until dawn fairly regularly. The air cools down and my laptop no longer needs to run the fan as I work. The kids in the neighborhood are asleep, as are the wiggers and their wiggermobiles. I get that sense that this is "my time." Nobody's going to bother me and all that. A kind of relief, like I can raise the blinds and look at the moon, sip my tea and listen to a symphony I've never heard before. Even if I use the time for something as mundane as making flashcards from a book, it just feels right. >>6879 It's nice when people can find happiness somehow. I hope her benis is very feminine.

>>6880 >I get that sense that this is "my time." Based /late/ enjoyer.

>>5818 I lived in an ex socialist country the 00s for us was basically the 90s of America.

>>5845 I remember that fucking donkey kong 3d animated show 30 years later mainly because there was nothing to do but watch it when it was on on sunday afternoons. The first one, then the repeat two hours later. Awful. >>5850 This is peak childhood and I wish I could go back and un-waste all that time in front of the retard-cube to do those things. Though where I grew up you'd need a car for most of it. >>5818 Yeah, kinda. I have nostalgia for a lot of that shit. I found some VHS cassettes last summer, for example, and had some fun sitting in front of an old TV seeing what was on them. Mostly WWF. I vaguely remember being torn between watching Monday Night Raw and playing Ocarina of Time, so I recorded a few episodes. The actual content isn't as nostalgic as the commercials. The way people looked and dressed. The pre-internet world, where if you were to explain some of the absurdities of the 2020s to a person of that era, they'd rightly call you a fucking loser. >Like, you carry around this device 24/7 so you know when people are talking about you? Enjoy your swirlie, nerd. Then again, I think back to sitcoms of that era like "Friends" (which in theory embodies the archetypal '90s twentysomething) and not only do I find nothing to be nostalgic for, it's mostly the same shit that I sometimes have to endure watching or overhearing when spending time with my mother: sub-mediocre people saying things that would repulse the audience if not for the laugh track. There are things we've lost and which are to our detriment as a culture, but a lot of it is obviously just a step along the path that led us to this horrible period.

>Do you enjoy the 90s /late/? That was a time I went through as a kid. Was nice because no internet, no social medias. Things were still simple but at the same time it was starting to smell the shit of the next decades. I was a kid so things looked so simple at this time, but also difficult because I never was the carefree kind of kid. From almost 15 years I have a bedtime routine : eating a bowl of cereals and watching some old Simpsons episodes before sleeping. I think it's because it reminds me some times were things were simple at home.

>>5524 Where did you buy that, and does the bottler sell shares to the public?

i tried this stuff out, i think im in love. the bite of the ginger pairs well with carbonation

I enjoy carbonated waters, especially this one in particular. But I only drink one glass per day (after waking up and drank my coffee). Maybe another one after doing some sports. I like to accommodate it with some citrus or mint extracts. I used to drink almost 1L/day and that's not good because these waters are naturally highly dosed in minerals elements, it is good under certain conditions, in the case of deficiencies for example. Worse, it can be bad if you suffer from certain diseases (kidneys among others). When it's very hot I enjoy a fresh shandy. From times to times I appreciate a fresh beer to but I'm not a lot into alcool. Rarely sodas : Pepsi, Sprite or Fanta.

>>6878 >I guess all the other French boards He thinks there are "other" french boards. Cute.

There was another one at frchan.bet or frchan.xyz, but I don't know where it's at now.

>>6889 frchan.bet => went TOR only => dead Not so long before, Acrimonie => dead Cable6 => dead And some other obscure attempts => dead That's why I opened La Planche. Even (I know) if frenchfags don't use IBs a lot, we need to have a place. La Planche est notre maison pour les français / francophones de passage.

>>6863 Living with your parents is shameful. There's no need to lie to yourself.

>>6864 I've been watching the same. It seems like the up-front cost is the land, whatever tenement you intend to live in, and a big heap of money because there's just so much stuff you ought to have already, like a truck, and a full set of tools to do all the work required. Anything you don't know how to do yourself you have to pay someone else to do, which is unbelievably expensive. You probably need heat, especially if you live in the north and have indoor plumbing of any kind, so a wood-burning stove seems like a good way to go. Probably <$1k. You need some way of disposing of your shit. Shitting in the woods is an option, but there are people living in vans and using some kind of composting toilet, however much that costs. You need a water source, but provided the land has water under it (maybe you wouldn't if you lived too far above sea level?) but I've seen the procedure for digging a well, and it's neither expensive nor complicated, but the cost and required knowledge add up with all these considerations. You can't shitpost without electronics, so at a minimum you'd probably want a $100 solar panel, and a much more expensive battery. If all you need is a tablet and don't mind having to run off the tablet battery at night, you could bring the cost down pretty low. If you don't mind the battery system being shitty and inconvenient, you can use lead-acid truck batteries instead of the good kind like you have in your phone. Your panels have to connect to a controller that manages the current and voltage, and that's probably a couple hundred dollars. Traplines and Inlines did a video where he used a signal booster to get reception on his phone in the middle of nowhere, which you'd probably also have to do. It seems like you can get a surprisingly useful amount of power for ~$2500, recurring every 5-10 years depending on your luck. You need food, and for that you can maybe scrape by with a henhouse, which could be pretty expensive even if you build it yourself, depending on lumber costs. Nutritionally you need more than eggs, so you're still beholden to the grocery store unless you have people you can barter with reliably. You'd also need a vehicle (probably a truck) for transportation, which is another thing that can be an order of magnitude more or less expensive if you know how to fix cars, but which also has a large ongoing cost of ownership when parts go bad, which is inevitable.

>>6883 i think offgrid living implies that you say "screw you" to society and live innawoods and dont acknowledge any authority (dont pay any taxes). with all the points you mentioned, you might as well just live in some rural community

>>6884 And if you are curious... I'm not talking about a reformation of my current grades but, as a change of mind going into next year

>>6885 im in a similar situation, barely got through high school because of my internet addiction. getting rid of internet addiction is pretty hard since the internet is ingrained in our society by now, so you're always going to be tempted by the constant access to it. my theoretical advice is that you should find some kind of motivation to make you stop procrastinating on your school work. the reason why i did poorly in school is because i felt like non of it mattered anyways, which made me feel fine with wasting my time. having burnt-out dopamine receptors from the internet is also bad for motivation. kicking bad habits also requires you to JUST DO IT! there's no sugar coating it, you either accept the change or you remain weak and a slave to your addiction. summer break is here, so use that time to go outdoors more and spend less time on your computer

>>6747 holy crap owned

>>6696 Did you do anything to warrant him leaving you?

>>6703 This.

I've nothing to add other than to say good introspective post, felt melancholic. No idea why.

>>6845 will probably check this site in 10 years or so after not looking at it and probably feel nostalgic and yearn for my youth

hey that's how i feel too when browsing old shit and i sometimes speculate about if there will be a internet historian (not the youtuber) profession were the job is you have to decipher old internet comments and content to figure out what kind of time it was

nah im still here reporting the illegal shit when i see it

>>6832 I appreciate your effort, but I'm sorry to say that I don't receive your reports. The reporting system is broken and has been broken almost since the beginning. I use a tool to scan for and notify me upon new posts. Maybe I should add a janitor or two instead. Anyway. If pizza or chinkshit stays up for more than an hour, it means that I'm asleep and the volunteers are busy.

>>6808 I haven't been around as much as I'd like lately but I'm still here anon, as are others! >>6834 Is it helpful when I reply to the pizza and chinkshit by asking for it to be nuked? Or is that just more annoying, haven't done that in a while.

>>6839 Good idea. I'll start practicing doing what you said and see if it helps. Thanks for the suggestion

>>6776 I feel the same way, but with creative writing. Currently trying to develop a game, but I just can't because I cannot seem to formulate a plot that makes sense, even after reading so many books and taking the most extensive English classes :>

>>6848 >Currently trying to develop a game, but I just can't because I cannot seem to formulate a plot that makes sense, even after reading so many books and taking the most extensive English classes :> Nice , what kind of game are you trying to make? did you ask for help maybe in discord or xmpp public chat rooms? they may help you with this or recruiting a team.

Only good desktops were the ones from old computers like Atari ST and Amiga, back in the 80's. Early versions of Windows (1 and 2) were alright too. After that it became all too "professional" and thus boring.

this thread is too important to die I installed ubuntu recently, but I'm keeping windows around for whenever I wanna relax and play some btd6, dota 2 or something. I'm not tech savvy so I felt one of the more generic distros would fit my needs I've been gettng kind of interested in cybersecurity and ctf games, especially since lainchan created their own ctf team recently. I haven't had the time to get meaningfully good at any of it, but it's still lots of fun e.g. toying around with ghidra and trying to piece together and reverse engineer those beginner lvl challenges hopefully when my life is more stable I'll have the time to make this into a real hobby

>>3501 i switched from windows 10 to linux mint back in late 2020. i'm quite happy with the switch since i do programming, and that stuff is a lot simpler to do in the CLI environment of linux. i also like how modular the userland is, it allowed me to tear down the distro and replace a bunch of stuff and personalize it. as for hardware, i recently splurged and bought a i7-12700KF with a RTX 3080 Ti. i REALLY dont need this kind of hardware, but i sometimes get autistic interests that end up requiring beefy hardware (like running AI stuff) so i justify it for that reason. otherwise, this is just an overpowered web browsing machine. i lost interest in gaming unfortunately im not a privacy chad, i still use normie platforms to communicate with friends

>>6821 >So thank you, late.citizens, thank you for making my evenings easier. ur welcome m8

I still have my old friends from school. Unfortunately, as time passes, the less interest I have in them. As bad as it sounds, I was only really friends with them out of circumstance. Clinging to the few similarities I could find. I had moved from a dense area to a rural area. I didn't have many options for people to be around. I'm older now. I don't really have such a strong want for individual friends, but rather to be a part of and contribute to a community that I love.

Aspie I knew in 9th grade doesn’t respond to my messages or anyone else’s now. Other old HS friends mostly still keep in contact with, but I always sort of felt like a tag-along. They rarely spoke directly to me first about anything.

>>5079 i dont know, i had to stop going to school after i got some health problems. never kept in contact with those friends, so i guess they just forgot about me. i could probably find them on social media, but its best for me to just let it go

>>6802 I tried taking ashwagandha but never noticed much of a difference in anything. Then again, I seem to be immune to caffeine too.

>>6805 Well, I've noticed some significant changes after taking them.

>>6813 The only thing I've ever noticed that made any kind of difference for me is bupropion. It made me horny all the time, but I'm glad I got off it. I got into taking a bunch of supplements a while ago, but I might cut back on some of them (like ashwagandha). I wonder if there's something wrong with me where I don't feel any change with these things.

I work a warehouse job. I can't afford to NEET.

>>5853 >Cutting down what are the things that makes you more hungry, thirsty and poor. Very true, I know a coworker who works hard but has a poor money sense.

>how do you guys make money as neets? is it common for neets to have income?? I don't make money. I have some savings that are slowly being depleted. my friend has been telling me about day trading/algorithmic trading but it honestly just sounds like gambling, markets are just too efficient what with RenTech/Two sigma/Jane st/etc. doing anything outsiders do but with much better data/computing power

im sick and tired of being a dysfunctional workaholic. I'd rather become a dysfunctional lazy cunt that doesn't worry about getting shit done.

Younger I was a lazy fuck. Spending all days smoking weed and doing nothing. I tried lots of jobs and never feel any fulfillment. Until I started a job as a night security private guard, I like this job and it makes me happy but I still like being lazy at home listening some good music and doing nothing. You just have to found the good balance anon.

Start reading non-fiction books! Explore practical topics that both interest you and that you can apply to the real world, and before you know it getting better at things doesn't feel like work :) Computer science books, chemistry books, math books, financial management books, physical fitness guides, etc can all be a lot of fun if you give them the chance <3 also drink more coffee to do dumb things but faster and with more energy!!!

>>6606 Hey, you've found pretty good songs, I'm currently listening to it.

>>1564 What a pleasant discovery. Thanks for the share anon, really.

anything from duster

and as such this place should remain untainted by our advertisements. This is a very cool place

>>6174 Notwithstanding the small size of the actual bullet, the cartridge doesn't have the stopping power to pacify the threat. It would have to be a thousand cuts death, and by then they would have returned fire.

>>5924 >gardening Something I learned from my summer gardens is to avoid growing crops with a 'large appetite' or one that uses the same nutrients from soil that others do. I loathe squashes and similar crops because of the sheer amount of nutrients it takes them to form their shells. Usually they kill everything else or only turn out one per plant in a season. Similarly, growing too many acidic plants or basic plants together can really fuck your haul over. I assume most posters here don't have industrial/generational tilled and prepped soil to work with, so try and use what natural value is there sparingly. Generally, for subsistence or supplement farming, I would advise growing one of each type of thing to use all different nutrients in moderation (i.e. one lettuce, one tomato, one hay (if livestock) one legume, one bean, etc.

lol why would you even wanna live in a world like that until you die of something incredibly treatable ten years down the road? Use the gun to neck yourself.

>>6734 In yourself or in others? Appendix II should answer your question either way. Depending on the context: some look at avoidant like a milder form of schizoid, and others see it as one of the subtypes of schizoid personalities.

>>6736 I meant it to myself, but won't hurt knowing about others. One of main difference is avoidant wants to be around other but can't because of bad experiences in the past while schizoid are born and content to be like that. did i get it right?

>>6742 No, your mistake is in thinking that anyone is born with any of these personality disorders. While there are certain genetic traits that can make people more susceptible to developing a disorder - it isn't fate. Past experiences, upbringing, traumas, etc., especially in childhood and early life, can influence anyone into developing a disorder. If you're trying to understand your self better, focus on your self as you are now, and which of these criteria you match up with (if any) while distinguishing from the others; only after that should you look to the past. If you were schizoid and looked at the schizoid profile, you would probably match, to at least some degree, with items on the list the higher it is, but find there are too many items on the avoidant profile high on the list that don't match you at all. If you were avoidant you would have several traits of the schizoid, but would experience the social anxiety and stress, fear of rejection, feeling inferior, etc. that a schizoid would not. Keep in mind that with this view of it all being on a spectrum of schizophrenia, that there is going to be a bit of overlap. If you've concluded that there are too many matches with one of the profiles for you to ignore, and there are too many things missing or wrong with the other profiles, then you can start trying to figure out the past to understand how/why you are the way you are.
