>>12998

South Korean feminist illuminati basically.

>>12996

But I got new headphones just after I started posting here, remember? And my last pair lasted me a few years!

I dunno, I'm pretty set for games at the moment.

I'm not a person who needs lots of things! I guess I've been thinking of grabbing a new pair of shoes and an e-book reader.

>>13001

>spirit cooking

>weird cults

What a strange time to be living in.

>>13002

Oh yeah, I manage to finish my games quickly depending on the genre.

Do you plan on reading Ride the Tiger?

It's a really good book that you should read.

>>13004

New Balance is US-made and endorsed Trump the other day, so I'm thinking I'll go with a pair of those.

>>13005

I've already read a nice chunk of that, it's really short, but kind of a hard read for me. Even though I like the content, the text itself is just a bit, I dunno.

>>13003

Definitely is.

Oh, well, that happens! I've dropped contact with basically everyone I've used to be friends with. I feel bad about it, but I can't be bothered to talk with people I won't be seeing anymore anyways, that I only befriended through proximity in the first place.

>>13008

The fact that lefties are crying and burning their shoes definitely helps with my decision-making too, and I've heard they're of a high quality, anyways.

>>13007

Is it written in a way that's hard to read?

Older books usually have that style of writing and it can be a slog to finish. Heart of Darkness took me a while to read because the damn book would describe every detail of the environment and the people abroad the boat.

>>13006

I think we all pushed it out as fringe and believe that no one could do that. But we still have to see if Spirit Cooking is real…

>>13008

In addendum to that…Nike promised that they'd bring their factories back to US shores and that they supported DJT. So, many people threw away their sneakers in a fit of rage on twitter.

>>13011

That's a good way to put it. It's just a very different writing style than a book you would pick up today. I'm aware that's because standards are constantly trending downwards, but that's besides the point.

>>13010

Well, no one accused them of being the pragmatic ones.

>>13012

No self-respecting HuWhite man would be caught wearing Nikes anyways.

>>13007

I see.

I'm very much a convenience friend, in the sense that I'll only really talk to people if I happen to be around them.

I guess eventually I'll end up being alone.

>>13012

Well, I can see it happening.

Many politicians have drug and alcohol issues and cults like that use those addictions to influence politicians and coherence them do their bidding. It's just a really good, but temporary way of staying in power…Kind of reminds me of this.

>>13014

>I'm very much a convenience friend, in the sense that I'll only really talk to people if I happen to be around them.

Yep. 100%

It's okay, we can all be alone together.

>>13013

Unfortunately books follow trends and as you stated. the current trend is downwards. A good example is Fifety Shades of Grey selling millions of copies despite being a horribly written fan fic of a horribly written fetish book. So, thus, the trend is to write horribly written fetish books. I highly recommend going back past Post-Modernism and just reading modernist era fiction and non-fiction. Though, you might like Star-ship Troopers.

>>13016

It's strange how through the internet, you can talk to millions of people, but still somehow feel very alone.

>>13017

Well, this place is a bit different.

>>13018

It's not just literature. I'm sure even if you read academic papers, both the prose and depth of thought pale to something written 50 years prior, despite all the talk of people living earlier being quaint and uneducated. There's this notion that everything gets better as time goes on.

I did mention previously that Starship Troopers was on my queue.

>>13019

There's no intimacy, and it's quite impersonal.

>>13019

Maybe even outside this place Ran~

But I got to go now. Bye Ran-shama, bye foxy, bye M-sama~

>>13021

Take it easy.

>>13020

I guess that's why it feels that way.

I wouldn't want it to change, though, if there was some way to make it more intimate.

>>13021

Well, maybe.

Have a good one.

>>13020

Academic papers have stayed roughly the same.

They have to follow a format depending on the research paper. If I'm writing a dissertation then I have a rather sizable review board (predictably) want changes and critic my paper and this is all to make sure that my paper in legible enough for a international community. If I'm writing a research paper then I have to write in APA format so I can give a synopsis of my research paper at the beginning and then give an in-depth analysis of my research while referencing other sources to back my evidence. These styles were all deciding by an academic society that wanted one style of paper over the thousands that were presented to them. If you're curious, google Emile Durkhiem, he pioneered research papers and sociological papers to the main world.

>>13021

Bye Eruruu!

>Ivanka Trump posts on 4chan

What a strange reality..

>>13001

wew. I hope those rumours that south Korea is a testing ground for things to be introduced in the west are not true.

>>13020

>espite all the talk of people living earlier being quaint and uneducated. There's this notion that everything gets better as time goes on.

I wonder who would be interested to spread these ideas.

>>13025

Link?

>>13026

https://twitter.com/KatrinaPierson/status/797673940936196096

>>13027

Thanks. But that's not Ivanka, is it?

>>13028

No, it's the campaign advisor.

I don't think Ivanka herself would openly admit to browsing the chans.

But they're probably aware of the role 4chan played during the elections.

This is probably a bad moment to join this conversation, but hi.

>>13030

That's really cute actually.

>>13030

Any time is a good time.

>>13029

Was halfchan /pol/ fully pro trump? I do not really understand how chans could become so big in promoting alternative candidates/parties, since chans should be the easiest to subvert.

Sora no Woto is such a great anime <3

>>13030

why would it be?

>>13033

Yes they were!

I posted there for a while until the place became so fast that the number of post per hour outmatched /b/.

I've only seen pieces of it..

>>13032

Hey SD, how are you today?

>ignored

>>13037

>>13038

Sleep.

>>13040

You?

>>13041

Sleep won't be on the menu today, unfortunately.

You?

>>13042

I was ordered to complete the main quest on FFXIV, so I've been doing that the last few days.

>>13036

I just got home from spending father's day, so pretty alright.

How about you anon?

>>13040

>>13042

Huh?

>>13043

What does it involve?

Dragons?

Loot?

Catgirls?

>>13044

It was dead!

>>13039

>>13045

But why won't you sleep?

>>13044

I had no idea today was fathers' day, or that such a day existed. Is it just thanking your father like mother's day?

>>13045

All of the above.

>>13048

>Is it just thanking your father

It's more to honour them than to thank them, but I guess. I thought every western nation had a day like that.

>>13048

Yeah, I'm not sure if they celebrate it in other countries anyhow.

>>13051

Poor Emi

>>13046

What in the name of nigger shit is this?

>>13053

I don't want you to leave, what makes you think of it like that?

>>13054

I don't believe you.

On a side note, here's what retail looks like after hours.

>>13053

Hug…I wish I can help you feel better.

>>13051

Life cannot simply be something to cling to. This thought skims through everyone at least once. We have a possibility that makes us freer than the gods: we can quit. This is an idea to be savoured to the end. Nothing and no one is obliging us to live. Not even death. For that reason our life is a tabula rasa, a slate on which nothing has been written, so contains all the words possible. With such freedom, we cannot live as slaves. Slavery is for those who are condemned to live, those constrained to eternity, not for us. For us there is the unknown---the unknown of spheres to be ventured into, unexplored thoughts, guarantees that explode, strangers to whom to offer a gift of life. The unknown of a world where one might finally be able to give away one’s excess self love. Risk too. The risk of brutality and fear. The risk of finally staring mal de vivre in the face. All this is encountered by anyone who decides to put an end to the job of existing.

Our contemporaries seem to live by jobbing, desperately juggling with a thousand obligations including the saddest of all of them---enjoying themselves. They cover up the incapacity to determine their own lives with detailed frenetic activity, the speed that accompanies increasingly passive ways of behaving. They are unaware of the lightness of the negative.

We can choose not to live. That is the most beautiful reason for opening oneself up to life with joy. ‘There is always time to put an end to things; one might as well rebel and play’---is how the materialism of joy talks.

We can choose not to act, and that is the most beautiful reason for acting. We bear within ourselves the potency of all the acts we are capable of, and no boss will ever be able to deprive us of the possibility of saying no. What we are and what we want begins with a no. From it is born the only reason for getting up in the morning. From it is born the only reason for going armed to the assault of an order that is suffocating us.

On the one hand there is the existent, with its habits and certainties. And of certainty, that social poison, one can die.

On the other hand there is insurrection, the unknown bursting into the life of all. The possible beginning of an exaggerated practice of freedom.

>>13055

Ah well then, I guess there's no convincing you of the fact.

I'll be back in a hour or two, friends invited me to play.

>>13058

I never got the whole "why kill yourself now when you can do it later anyway" thing. I want to die now, i'm in pain now. I don't want to fucking put up with tomorrow, because tomorrow will only mean more sufferring. Even if i find some semblance of joy somewhere along the line, it will turn to pain sooner or later.

Retail after hours is unsettling, though, fuck.

>>13062

At some point you'll be living with your boyfriend.

>>13066

I didn't miss it, I just assumed it to be a momentary thing, since it's a complete 180 from no time ago.

>>13068

Well hopefully either that goes against your expectation, or you stumble upon someone better.

>>13071

Certainly not until your mindset changes.

?

>>13073

Hello.

>>13073

Emi is sorry for something.

>>13073

Hi Lexi.

>>13062

Is this better?

> Should one kill oneself? Killing oneself, though, implies some sense of resistance: one must possess a value that one can destroy. Where there is nothing, the destructive actions themselves crumble to nothing. You cannot hurl a void into a void. "If only a rock would fall and kill me," wrote Kierkegaard, "at least that would be an expedient." I doubt if there is anyone today who has not been touched by the horror of a thought such as that. Inertia is the surest killer, the inertia of people who settle for senility at eighteen, plunging eight hours a day into degrading work and feeding on ideologies. Beneath the miserable tinsel of the spectacle there are only gaunt figures yearning for, yet dreading, Kierkegaard's "expedient," so that they might never again have to desire what they dread and dread what they desire.

>>13077

>>13079

Sounds like subversive Nihilist philosophy.

>>13079

It means that killing yourself is admitting that you worth something.

>>13082

Do you have financial problems?

>>13053

I dont hate you..

>>13091

what?

>>13093

Would you believe us if we said we hated you, or is everything we say lies?

>>13088

You are not going to end up on the streets, right?

>>13096

Sounds like you want to be hated, if you ignore everything except what you want to think.

>>13096

It's going to be all right.

>>13100

>>13062

Killing yourself will not end suffering, the true suffering would start after that. Being love sick is tough, but killing oneself over it is just petty tbh. No one likes me, I am so bad, I wish others would notice me etcpp, it goes on and on. Instead of obsessing over that you should rethink the terrible life choices you've made and adjust them to reality.

>>13096

>Hating me is reasonable. Liking me is imbecilic.

Let's say you'd believe that. In that case you could contemplate on why this is the case and just change. Being a bitch about it will help no one.

>>13104

>Killing yourself will not end suffering, the true suffering would start after that.

>>13096

It's a bit self important to think these strangers on the internet all hate you.

>>13093

And now you are calling me a liar

…You clearly have issues

>>13108

It really isn't. If someone isn't positive towards you, it's far more likely they barely consider you at all, right?

>>13108

Do you hate yourself?

Perhaps it's time to take a break from the subject matter at hand?

>>13105

>To fix it, i would have to be replaced with someone else.

If you think that's the case, then you've got a lot of work to do and should get started.

>>13112

I'm going to take a break from being awake. Good night everyone!

>>13114

That's still conceited. Think about the people you work with or whatever that you don't like. As soon as you leave the room, they're out of your mind entirely.

>>13115

Sorry, I made some changes without mentioning them.

I do apologize about that.

>>13116

Goodnight Lain anon.

>>13061

Played some CSGO, I finally broke the 6 match loss streak by winning 2 in a row, hard carry life.

>>13091

I don't hate you, I don't hate anyone.

Minus ISIS, and I doubt you're part of them.

>>13120

AHOLA ACKBAUR.

>>13119

I see what you meant now

>>13121

That still works. But let's avoid using that word hm?

>>13123

Yes, why don't you text me *cough*.

>>13122

Lost 8 rounds in a row at first and felt pretty bad, then I managed to get one down with a pistol and got his AK-47, won it 8-16, never lost after that.

>>13127

Why the losing?

>>13128

I'll try to avoid not filter any more words and I'll those words back in due time. So fret not my anarchist friend.

>>13124

I only hate them for their acts.

>>13120

That's good. You'll be GE in no time.

>>13130

They're enemies, it doesn't make sense to hate them for hostile activities. You should hate the people that enabled them to western lands and commit those acts.

Back. Sorry, just had to deal with a few health issues.

>>13126

oops

>>13129

I wasn't just feeling up to the game at start and was mid-list during the start and then I pulled off a few miracles and it kept going on and ended up top-fragging.

>>13131

Fell to DMG from LE a while ago, but soon back up there as I was 3 losses in DMG side, so only need 1-2 wins for LE.

At least got my friend back from MG2 to DMG.

>>13132

I've never really hated them at all, it just puts me off that because they're having their whatever-type autistic fit, they feel the need to hurt innocent people.

>>13133

But the USSR is long gone.

>>13134

Are you alright Eruruu?

>>13136

>>13138

>>13141

>>13143

>>13142

Alright, don't push yourself too hard.

>>13144

I don't follow, Fox.

>>13145

You were never supposed to follow.

You were supposed to lead.

>>13146

But I'm a horrible leader.

>>13138

That's good, you can get that today.

I don't get your implication.

>>13148

You are?

>>13151

>Sounds a lot like what society does on a daily basis.

This is a silly statement, but I gather from your spoiler tag that you're aware of that.

>>13153

Can you explain the serious half?

>>13151

I dont hate you.. I dont hate anyone

I pity you.

>>13149

It's too late to be playing now.

I thought you told me to hate the people who made them like that, I just feel like their somewhat long period of peace was broken by the soviet-afghan war, and really after that they haven't had peace at all.

>>13150

I don't really like leading, way too many responsibilities.

>>13151

We can never know if they do it knowingly, but it's pretty mild compared to beheadings and the way they kill people just because it ain't "halal."

>>13156

Absolute power corrupts etc.

So, I don't blame you..

>>13158

Besides there's always bureaucracy in management.

>>13160

Bureaucracies can be managed quite well.

As long as people that are put in those position aren't inept.

>>13159

Then stop saying I hate you… You're weird

wow..

>>13156

>hate the people who made them like that,

No no no, that's irrelevant to you. They don't have planes or anything, so it doesn't really matter how stirred up they are, they wouldn't normally be a threat to you!

It's the people that invited these Arabs into European nations where they can do their dastardly deeds after you've been fighting to keep them OUT for over a thousand years!

>>13163

We're not wired to do that because, "Oh, how dare they be different to us". It actually hurts society in various ways if not everyone stays within the same boundaries, so it's natural that the "Tribe" pushes out people that act out.

>>13161

But the way bureaucracy usually is, well, it's bothersome as hell.

>>13167

The sleep police have pulled you over.

Do you:

A)Run and try to escape the sleep police

B) stay in your car and receive the penalty for staying up.

Mind you, running away will make your sentence worse.

>>13170

can you do something about this one please >>13168

>>13166

Ah well, your wording made it sound like that.

I've known a few pretty bro-tier once in the past though, it's just the extremists that bother me.

>>13170

I'm going to bed in 15 mins anyhow, I need to be awake early, that means the time you usually go to bed, which is like 6 hours from now on.

>>13171

I can't do too much other than word filters.

I'm slowly going to grant those words back.

As for now, you might want to take a break or eat something.

>>13172

The police give you a 8 hour citation.

>>13174

I can't comply because I might get an important call.

>>13175

Time and constraint.

With great words comes great responsibility.

>>13176

The police may harshen your sentence if you complain much more.

>>13177

Hug eruruu.

How was your day?

Well that's pretty fucking gay.

I was expecting lewds.

>>13180

Nothing happened?

>>13181

You don't want to go see the judge again do you?

>>13182

Lewds and gay are totally fine~

>>13173

what words?..

I'll just block that guy for now

>>13185

>Lewds and gay are totally fine~

Whew. That's most of my relationship.

>>13186

>guy

Pretty trap-phobic tbh.

>>13184

I'd prefer health issues over what's happening right now with school.

Who are you waiting on?

>>13186

They'll filtered so I can't say them~

>>13187

kawaii desu.

>>13185

I don't mind.

>>13190

Yes, but it's such an unpleasant word don't you think?

>>13191

Even if he tells you to sleep forever?

>>13192

Ah, I hate that when that happens..

G'night.

>>13193

That would be a pleasant way to pass time.

>>13194

I'll miss you.

>>13195

Yes, but I think most of would perfer to to see a dick. I mean, we are all girls right?

What's a better way to pass time than to look at dicks?

>>13194

Good night SD.

>>13194

Nighty.

>>13199

It's hard to suck e-dicks.

>>13199

L-Lewd!

>>13204

TMI.

>>13206

>>13206

>

Well I can think of at least one person here who hasn't gotten dick in a long time.

>>13210

Well, I AM 18, dear : 3

>>13212

It is where I come from, that's ALL that matters.

>>13214

I'm actually an adult.

>>13216

What sort of adult?

>>13218

Oh, easy, I won't.

>>13220

You should. You can go through my entire posting history here. It likely hasn't happened once.

>>13221

>>13223

Not true.

anyways

>>13225

Just remember, there's always another day to wake up to.

>>13227

Anyways?

Wait were you guys going to do fun things while I was gone?

I can't let that happen! I'm never leaving!

>>13228

Where did fox go?

>>13230

Fox often disappears.

>>13230

He died, just like i was going to say our friendship but we never had one so I'm out of joke material.

>>13230

Madoka

>>13232

Can't see your posts.

>>13231

ah yes he is an illusive one

>>13233

I can post her for you <3

>>13236

ahh.. This brings back memories, happy ones.

Back then, I could only watch you from afar.

>>13237

You could of just said hi you know <3 lol

>>13238

If I know how my mind works, I probably thought "I'll wait for a perfect chance to say hi and have a nice talk after"

That perfect chance never came.

>>13239

Perfect? nothings perfect

But we wound up friends anyways lol

>>13240

Exactlyyy that's why I ended up not saying it.

I hope you don't remember my desperate attempts to talk to you.

What's everybody up to?

>>13238

Lexi, if you don't mind. I added you on Steam when you posted your account on the other thread.

>>13242

sleep until very late in the morning

>>13244

Sounds nice, hope it's a good sleep.

I wish I could do that, but it's an early day tomorrow..

>>13245

Which SAO would you marry?

>>13241

I always thought you were cute so dont worry <3

>>13243

Yeah I accepted it today <3

>>13246

I don't know any SAOs!

I've never seen it, sorry!

>>13250

A little odd.

Everyone here worships SAO like it's the second-coming.

People even put it on their cars!
