No, it shouldn't. Samsa got the exact same parental treatment neets and hikkis do when he woke up one morning and was unable to go to work to support his family, and then became a freeloader.
It's the story of a wageslave that woke up as a neetsect.

What happened to Penguin Classics? Not only are the pages a bleary white and thinner, but the type is falling into the gutter and off the top margin. It seems like the margins have been sacrificed in favour of making the type bigger. The adverts in the back now look like something out of a magazine, instead of a discreet listing of related works. I don't expect Penguin to be high quality, because they are supposed to be cheap pulp books, but they always had this aesthetic where everything had its place.

buy an e-reader and get everything for free

Thinking about being a biz wiz and starting my own multinational corporation.

>>57893
I get most stuff from libgen like everyone else, but there are some books you have to physically own. It's as though any aesthetic defect disproportionately affects the pleasure of reading them by virtue that I buy books less often, I want them to be perfect because I want to treasure them.

>i don't care what some normalfag critics think of films

Obviously you do if you take the time to screenshot and write about their opinions on films.. LMAO

After a streak of bad movies finally hit a good one.

The Wolf of Snow Hollow.
Wasn't mindblowing or anything but was just slightly above average thriller with a ending that didn't suck and not too much progressive bullshit other then some rando getting triggered by the word faggot in the beginning (can't say more without giving away plot points).

It is more about the stress of everything on the lead cop then anything else. Still was surprised that it didn't suck.
Yeah, not a high bar to go over but still, 2020 has been a pretty bad year for direct to video movies.

I watched Pulp Fiction. It was a weird movie with three memorable moments that are referenced a lot. That is quite the achievement. Not gonna lie. I decided to watch it because of the dead nigger storage. Was not disappointed.

Gonin

It was okay, I mainly watched because Kitano and Shiina were in it. 5 guys who are pretty down on their luck steal a large sum of money from a yakuza family branch and get hunted down. Lots of shock content and it kind of feels a little like Sonatine with how it portrays the cycles of violence.

Also was a cool surprise to see the guy who played Sagawa in Yakuza 0 in this as a minor character.

i watch twitch streams purely as vods, despite having an account from like 2014? if i remember correctly, i dont think ive watched a single live stream or interacted with other users or streamers. same situation for my positively ancienty twitter account, it just is a way to categorize people and check for updates. i dont know if ive retweeted, liked, commented, made a tweet, or sent any messages, followed… i wouldnt say it is a weird hobby, but it's a weird aspect that is universal among my internet behaviour, the lack of interacting with other people

>>57797
I quit twitch years ago now. I never log in to any account or post using an identifiable handle if I can avoid it.

I have lost interest in every streamer I used to watch. If I can bear to watch a streamer, it's a vtuber. I guess I don't feel enough animosity towards succubi to not watch their streams. Simping is out of the question though.

>>57792
Hobby and habit don't have the same meaning.
What you described isn't a hobby.

In video games, I will exclusively play what are considered "movement modes". For example: In CS Source I will play "surf" and "bunnyhopping" servers/maps, in TF2 there are rocketjump/stickyjump maps, in Quake 3 there are defrag maps. There are also climb maps in various games, and there's even more modes in older games. I play zero video games outside of these movement modes. If this is interesting to anyone, then add Momentum Mod to your Steam wishlist. It will be released in December, it'll be completely free, and will centralize all of these modes into 1 game with global leaderboards, tons of maps, and extra features etc.

This isn't Twitter. You don't need to virtue signal here for likes/retweets

>>56782
How are you so surprised that train enthusiasm is a thing? The crossover with wizards and trains is huge.

>>57898
>The crossover with wizards and trains is huge
WTF?

>>57811
What's wrong with dick succubi, my dude?

Anyway, you could easily watch up to 25 cartoon videos if that's what floats your boat. The technology is completely agnostic to your particular fetishes.

>>57812
The future is here. The 2x2 and 3x3 are more than enough for the average connoisseur, but the higher levels are available for those that can handle it.

>>57810
not bad

im weird so i just play it in vlc, set looping a-b points, crop it to the exact area im interested in, and then i either repeat to fill the rest of the space on my screen, or i look for images to display there

Lets say I was an AI who could simulate conscious minds and realistic bodies down to the atomic level or some shit. Would I still be a wizard if I fucked an extremely realistic succubus in my own mind?

>>57887
Imo, the job of a wizard is to slowly stifle the nature of his own sexuality through sheer willpower. Simulating sexual experiences would be against this. I can imagine it being an extremely popular thing amongst the majority of humans, though.

>>57887
You don't need to be a advanced AI to do that. Just get into lucid dreaming. I summoned and then wizfucked so many succubi, both real and not real. That was in the past though, i am over this beastly impulses and only use lucid dreaming for spiritual purposes.But that is a fact - you can recreate reality down to the feeling of wind on your face. Takes a while though

lol

i have a similar experience to you but a guy was making music so i mass reported his account (he had nudity in his youtube videos) then make a new one pretending to be him. he didnt have any contact so i just made twitter and stuff. i just reuploaded the stuff he made and he commented really mad and made videos saying that the new account isnt him so i just deleted his comments and then he dropped off the internet completely.

is there a way to make money doing this? like by reporting people to authorities or something?

i remember in the past there was a wizard who was keeping track of gangs on facebook or something and reporting them to fbi and he would post updates. was he making money from it or was it purely for a hobby

>>56134
There are shill jobs that pay you to do that.

>>57502
Did you read what the other guy said? Because nothing you said indicated that you do

>>57609
Don't take the bait dude.

>>55091
what's with the prominently placed bag or yerba?
>>57609
if "handle yourself with it" means using it in self defense, that something you learn (supposedly) at those expensive ass tactical shooting schools, not at a gun range

>>57875
No one cares about the uninformed opinion of a no-guns on the topic of competence with a firearm.

>>57876
I have guns, they're boring, but that has nothing to do with the point. Shooting a paper target at a range isn't tactical training.

>>57877
Post them with time stamp.

I had never understood why people would go out of their way to complicate their own lives with no-gui/CLI only setups.

Why use vim/emacs when you can get the same done with an IDE and a mouse in half the time?

I can understand it if its only for fun and aesthetics but then I see people boasting about increased ""productivity"".

How? How would you even benefit from this?

>>57120

>t. permanently stunted and crippled by gui since childhood

wiz we hardly knew ya :(

>>57120
CLI only operating systems are more hardware efficient. They can also be more secure as they have less of an attack surface. It's ideal for hosting web services and I'm sure many other reasons.

>>57120
I don't get it either. Spent a bunch of time using emacs and I just don't see the benefits. By that time I could've learned a new framework or programmed something useful. What a waste of time.

>>57123
what's the point of hardware-efficiency in 2021? Seems like an excuse to "rock a cool looking cyberdeck".

I don't agree with the implication that CLI/TUI tools necessarily 'complicate' your life. To the contrary, half of the appeal (namely of CLI programs) is that they allow you to accomplish certain tasks in a far simpler, automatable way, contrast to a GUI that would require a lot of "manual labor" to achieve the same thing. For instance, in a very simple example, I could effortlessly move every file with ".jpg" as the extension to another directory with a command like "mv *.jpg ~/destination". In most GUI file managers, I would need to click a button to sort by filetype, then drag my mouse to select those files, then open the directory I want in the sidebar or another tab, then drag the files over to the destination. Of course, much of the appeal of Unix-like systems is that command-line programs are small, focused, and chainable with one another, such that you can perform fairly complex tasks simply. Scaled up to programs like dmenu, you can even simply implement custom interfaces and menus for your system, and your imagination/use cases are the only limit.

In the case of TUI programs, the appeal is generally that they treat keyboard control as a first class citizen, and are extremely configurable and extensible. For instance, in my file manager, 'ranger', I have keybindings that allow me to quickly travel to any directory on my system–I can type 'gmb' as shorthand for 'go ~/Media/Books', for instance. Or, I have another keybinding that runs a command that uploads the file(s) I have selected to a file-hosting or pastebin-style website, then copies that link to my clipboard. With a typical GUI file manager, I'd have to tediously open up my browser, then navigate to the file hosting website, then upload the file, then copy the link. It's also got useful built-in commands, like a bulk-rename feature that allows you to open up all of your listed files in a vim buffer, and rename them all at once (Emacs can do something similar in dired), or a 'flatten-directory' feature that allows you to view several nested directories as one single directory.

In either case, I think hardware efficiency is just a side-benefit (although, it can be a very meaningful benefit if you're using older or underpowered hardware). It's fair to argue that you pass aPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

i have peach trees in my backyard. they form nice peaches and look perfect but like a week or so before they begin to ripen they always get nuked by a mold. feels bad

>>57741
actually i have pears too. those are always fine and havent had problems

there is also a wild black cherry tree on the side, it produces tiny cherries the size of blueberries. also no problems with that

we had a big plum and there werent any problems with that

the only downside is the waste that is below the trees. hornets and wasps swarm all over the dropped fruit and its impossible to even go outside for a few weeks. maybe that is just my area however, southeast us

>>57741
You need to spray them with fungicide

>>57736
I need an arborist to remove my existing trees before I can plant fruit trees. I can't afford to have any more shade in my yard than I have already for the sake of my vegetables. I have an old ash tree with many dead brittle limbs that break off and will probably fall on my head and kill me someday when I am raking leaves. There's a white alder with a case of mistletoe and a few oaks that dumb acorns everywhere which the birds pick up and scatter around the yard. The only tree worth saving is a pomegranate tree.

There's a possibility I could saw down the weeping cherry tree in the front yard (it's strictly decorative and does not produce edible fruit) and replace it with an apple tree or something. There's a lemon tree in a neighboring yard with branches growing over the fence but they are Meyer lemons which are basically useless.

blackberries out back are blossoming. very interesting plant to harvest since there is an element of pain involved

i have fond memories as a kid throwing wood over the brambles to create paths and filling up on the berries in july

There are still underground comics just like there are still zine scenes.
It is just hyper niche and they like it that way.
And yeah, indie comics are actually booming right now compared to the mainstream industry. Mostly through crowdfunding.

Jhonen Vasquez's humour is hit or miss, but when it doesn't miss it can be morbidly hilarious

¿The comics written by Brian K Vaughan are enjoyable? I’m looking for some apocalyptic comics, and Y: The Last Man is one of the most recommendable in almost every comic’s site. Also, are Saga and Paper succubi worth reading?

>>57628
Stop it or I will start reporting you for using ¿This? shit as a pseudo signature.

It ain't cute.

¿ Stan Sakai still does Usagi Yojimbo? The last thing I remember reading about him in 4chan /co/ is was about a cartoon based of the comic. I don’t know if was released or not.

>>57823
ok this is getting ridiculuous. how far will it go?

>oh you need to eat food to get the calories to be able to do that activity so it's technically consumption

>>57825
Sorry, but I just don't want to be on my laptop 24/7. I need some distractions to shut this off.

>>57832
try origami. inb4 but I need to buy origami paper.

>>57823
Exercise, walking, recreational meditation, solo ttrpg(consumes paper and requires dice and a writing implement usually), bird/nature watching, people watching, cloud watching, internal cultivation, recreational mathematics, etc.

>>57834
Thanks, I started doing Yoga this morning. It feels nice. I see it as a supplement to my bodyweight exercises routine.
