You're right, but there's so little activity I thought bringing it up with the admin would make him axe the board.

Merry Christmas guys

I've found that as I've been forced to go back to being a wagie I have way more to do and yet time goes by faster than ever. I don't think I can remember much since finishing art school.

Merry Christmas, guys.

Hope you all are safe and healthy.

Merry Christmas to you too

>being a wagie I have way more to do and yet time goes by faster than ever
Huh. I have hardly anything to do except go to work and I assumed that's why it goes so fast. But maybe it doesn't really make a difference.

>>2580
Actually by "way more to do" I meant I'm working all the time, and I have zero real free time.

Happy new years, mages.

One of the best things about How It's Made is finding out how interesting the production of some items are. I wouldn't go out of my way to ever find out how any of these products are made but for some reason I am captivated by the production process during the show.

A video that attempts to chronologically present the distress transmissions of the HMS Titanic and other involved ships during the incident. Some ships appear to immediately grasp the situation and turn to action (Olympic, Mount Temple and Carpathia, for example), while others appear quite hesitant or are outright unresponsive (Frankfurt and Californian) . The degrading situation aboard the sinking ship also shows through its comms, most near the end being a variation of CQD CQD SOS SOS COME AT ONCE.

I hope you get well soon!

My heart has been missing beats lately. Got real light headed during one or two and thought that was it. Wasn't though (obviously). Don't know if it means anything, but I always figured I'd die around this age, one way or another.

Losing weight sucks so much but I did this to myself. I have set kind of a wild goal for myself and I have been doing well on my plan so far, actually exceeding my expectations, but it sucks to constantly feel the shame of knowing this is a completely avoidable situation that I put myself in out of sheer gluttony. Every step I take I know that's a step I wouldn't have to take if I just didn't eat cookies or whatever else. Hopefully I can get this over with soon. Ultimately I know this isn't even the worst part, the worst part will be trying to moderate my eating after I'm done losing weight. Extremes are easy for me, eating too much or too little doesn't really take any thought, eating too little is just annoying since I know it was completely under my own control to not put on this weight. The hard thing for me is keeping myself consistent with a healthy diet once I have lost the weight I want to lose. This has to be the third or fourth time I've put on a lot of weight pretty quickly and then had to cut back on food to get back to a healthy weight. I might just have to quit eating snacks almost completely because I simply can't stop myself from pigging out like a retarded child if there's something tasty in front of me and I'm not purposefully dieting.

If you're not too neurotic about it, as in, you could see yourself making a warm first-impression, I'd say go for it! I went to a support group for people with my disorder and it was honestly one of the few times in my entire life I felt understood in a genuine capacity. The feeling when you're finally speaking to someone on your wavelength is indescribable, It's not like dealing with sheltered therapists who only READ about whatever you have been through. Unfortunately, it too much of a long drive and it's at the heart of an awful capital city, so I haven't returned. I will probably look for a closer group now that you've reminded me...

>>2539
That's horrible, and I wonder what happens in such a case, would they still try to "save" him when he is completely gone but the cellular processes are somehow continuing on their own? And then what? Existing for years in that state would be awful.

I can't stand necroposting, but I felt that was worth sharing after coming across a WWII vet sharing a similar experience.

Living within strolling distance of an armory and having dealt with suicidal thoughts myself is certainly why that story left such an impression.

The guy from the OP did end up dying, I can't remember if it was en route to the hospital or at there. In America, unless you're screaming bloody murder every micro-second and are in constant obvious agony they will absolutely try to keep you alive, even at a vegetative state.

>>2545
It’s kind of comforting to think chat they would really try to treat you if an accident happened, but disturbing to to think that you could end up as a vegetable.

I meant to add that I don't think necroposting is a real problem here… this place needs more posts even if the threads are old.

All this talk about death is lightweight compared to people who get exposed to radiation and experimented upon.

My father died last year so I kind of know what you must be going through.

Unrelated but I spent the last 3 hours searching my room top to bottom looking for my watch. I moved my desk, checked all my pockets, took photos under cabinets to see if it was under there, checked the bins I’d emptied, checked my clothes basket. I checked the entire floor as I’d just brushed it. I give up, I walk downstairs to get a drink, I come up, and my watch is sitting in the middle of the empty floor. I think the fairies are playing with me.

An ok relationship with him, we weren’t like super close so it’s not the same as if my mother died. But I have felt similar feelings around other deaths.

33 today. Slowly ranking up my wizard powers 🧙🏽.

Just dumped 1200€ for a new gaming PC and the exact moment I got it the will of playing disappeared.

I guess this is a classic moment of the actual pleasure is the await itself.

>>2544
I remember doing that with a gaming PC, a playstation, and probably some other things. I guess I got it meaning to play games but actually playing them was too much out of my normal routine so I just didn't. Since you obviously meant to play something when you bought it I recommend trying to just force yourself to play whatever games you had in mind, at least for a couple of hours. Maybe you will warm to it.

This has to be the most relatable thread I've read in the last 3 years. Really reaching the end myself. I wish I could know how OP and every mage who replied is doing. The future is so bleak.

>>2475
I am the OP, and I'm having a hard time believing it's already been over a year since making this thread. I even remember the day of making this thread vividly. I am semi-active in a few old-school style forums, but they're only of interest for those truly knowledgeable. I mostly use the internet for practical, effortposting media discussions, and educational purposes now. Ironically, how I idealized I should have used it back when I was around a decade younger, hikineet, and spent most of the time posting shitposts and smug anime girls.

I guess I did end up "leaving" imageboards for good at least compared to spending the majority of my free time for several years solely on them, also wasting my time watching completely useless slop on youtube. I'll still peek a few places for no more than a few minutes, but it's so infrequent. Would it still be considered lurking?
One thing that really confuses me is how all these "refuges" have slowed or just flat-out kicked the bucket. Data reveals there a lot more isolated and disenfranchised men than there were just a decade ago, so where are they, why aren't they posting in places like these, and why aren't there more sites trying to keep the old spirit web alive.
But I guess there's criticism that can be said about doing that as many "webcore" sites may come across as superficial or trying too hard.

I had the foresight years ago to know if I spent so much time getting most of my social needs fix on imageboards I would likely reach a point where I'd become disillusioned from them and effectively left crippled in aspects such as social skills, life experience, etcetera.
That did end up being my case anyway but I agreed to take a job shortly after making this thread where I worked in front of hundreds and crowds of children and people everyday while Initially being a barely functional depressive wreck, with traces of my formerly severe social phobia.
I ended up being very well-liked, children loved me, and I was tipped more than I ever even imagined possible for someone like be. Just being tipped at all was incomprehensible for the first few months(and still looking back). I am not a good-looking man by any means, but I try to live as having a heart of gold despite having dealt with many, many truly vile people thrPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

One or two I have noticed and can still find have jumped the shark on spiritualism, religon, or even somewhat concerning esotericism, maybe filling a void?
Can you elaborate?

>also wasting my time watching completely useless slop on youtube.
It feels shameful to admit how many hours I've probably lost staring blankly at Youtube videos. I think if Youtube kept track of how many hours you spend on it like Steam does I would smash my computer immediately upon seeing the number of hours I've wasted watching the most disgustingly wretched slop. I imagine I've wasted years of time on that god awful website gaining nothing from it, I don't enjoy my time watching those videos, I don't get any knowledge from it, I am just wasting time watching some guy talk about nonsense that I don't actually care about. It would probably do me a lot of good to completely cut that website out of my life.

I'm deeply mentally ill. I stopped enjoying imageboards years ago but I do it because it's the one way to fulfill my social urges that I can handle. I am too weak to handle real life or real relationships with people. I avoid people whether I want to or not because it has been ingrained into my soul to do so. I hate doing nothing all day, browsing shit websites filled with people I hate every day, but it's all I'm left with because I don't have the energy or drive to do anything else. I want to do something, anything else, I have for years now, but I'm too stuck in the rut. It's funny, wizchan went down so here I am, going down progressively obscure and dead imageboards just because I am addicted. I hope all these sites die and I'm left with nothing so I either change or I bash my head into a wall until all the juice leaks out.

A well done flick, in my opinion. They kept it real simple but did a good job of keeping it interesting, at least to watch until the end.


I wanted to go to sleep at some point because I was feeling tired, but I kept going because I wanted to see the end and it didn't disappoint.


The whole "is it real or is it happening in my head" is well done in my opinion and between its back and forth it lets you wander on a nice trip.

Not him, but I just watched that.

I don't have good taste, but I liked it. More than a few of the plot points are very normie highschooler experience focused, so I'd think plenty here might hate it though. The animation was pretty darn good for amateur stuff. Same with the voicework. The pacing was refreshingly brisk, with little to no wasted air time. The jokes are rapid-fire so even when they fall flat it's not too bad. Some of the characters, like N, were super "moe", not something I'd usually use to describe western cartoon characters. All in all something I'd consider very watchable.

Watched Beacon 23, sci-fi about a space lighthouse. I didn't think it was too bad, it seemed to have bad ratings because it's a bad book adaption. Pretty much all happens on the "beacon". It's been a while since some new sci-fi. The pacing is a bit strange in how events happen one after the other, but I didn't find it too distracting I just noticed it.
I think it's worth a watch, it's a "big mystery for the whole show" thing that probably won't have a super satisfying conclusion.

A few weeks ago I watched the first two Carnosaur movies for the first time. They're nothing earth-shattering, but I can't deny that they're both quite entertaining.
The first one is probably the most interesting. The plot has several interesting ideas and the director put some effort into shooting some visually entertaining scenes, such as the one that takes place in a dark chicken coop, where you can barely see the feathers of the chickens against the black background. I would have liked the villain's maternal side to have been developed more, and the film loses quite a bit of pace once the protagonist starts interrogating the villain. Either way, it's a fun movie.
The sequel is pretty good too. It's much less original, in fact, it's practically a ripoff of Aliens, but it's full of action and fun characters. The only thing I didn't like about it is the final battle against the tyrannosaurus rex. The main character has no reason to kill the tyrannosaurus and the whole scene lasts more than 15 minutes.

I gave this series a chance. I thought the first episode was terrible, mainly because it tried too hard to be funny. However, I found the plot interesting, so I decided to watch the rest of the episodes and I don't regret it. The plot gets more and more interesting with each episode and the fight scenes are great. I found the characters annoying at times, but I think that's because I'm a bitter old man.
