Neet ,Hiki content attractant the wrong types of individuals. Who seek to target & torture you for a preconceived idea you have it easier than them. It’s always from the mindset if I must suffer you must but if the shoe is on the other food they would find it comical. Good neet channels exist they are just not labelled as neet channels to fly under the radar

It's been emerging that a lot of militant NEETs are only NEET because they have such a shit personality and can't socialize in a manner that would allow anyone else to enjoy their company. Forget holding down jobs, these people can't hold down even basic online friendships without their neuroticism taking the front seat. A lot of their desire to form NEET groups comes from them believing themselves to be superior for having the aristocratic advantage of living without a job, but this superiority complex then gets applied to members of their own group until they divide what should have been a unified sect in to a set fragmented castes based on the concept of who is and is not a "true NEET" and such. Then it gets worse when there are platoons of people online who fetishize sadness and make being a depressed outcast their entire personality, who will enter NEET groups just to bring others down. Crabs in a bucket.

Seek out friendships based on a shared interest; not on a shared economic status. Despite what some paranoid jerks who had a bad experience in school will tell you, "normal" people are typically receptive to engaging in cultural and subcultural discussion with "non-normals", but "non-normals" who seek out communication explicitly with other "non-normals" will always be on edge to make sure the people they're engaging with remain in a state of not just non-normal, but subnormal to themselves.

Those amount to the same thing much of the time. There was a British prime minister who would befriend anyone who was as passionate about Shakespeare as him. How many poorfags do you think know Shakespeare or any literary corpus like that?

Your suggestion is not realistic. When you are severely mentally ill, usually your only option for friends is other mentally ill people.

whats the email for in imageboards?

>>62993
been there XD

I've been messing around with ollama. I vibecoded up some bullshit, and I've been playing with it to see if I could just make my own, private imageboard. I somehow am not bothered by it being just bots if I know it's my bots.
I'm starting to wondering if I could make a completely off-grid, local imageboard and Youtube.
I kind of wonder if at that point whether I'd even want the internet anymore.

Too many people harboring that attitude is exactly why we're currently in a situation of sorts

>>67574
Oh, and deep space 9 is good. Not as good as TNG but nearly.

>>67576
I never liked Deep space 9 but I did enjoy TNG and Voyager.

Part of the appeal of Star Trek to me is the exploration and adventure.
Sitting on a space station most of the time just didn't do it for me.

I'm currently watching Star Trek the original series after almost a year without touching any Trek at all. I needed the abstinence to enjoy this stuff again. Just finished watching Shore Leave from the first season. It's a decent episode, a rather quaint idea but way too padded out. I won't be commenting every single episode here, but will try to make a post summarizing my thoughts on each season.

I recently watched black mirror, I made a tier list of the episodes. General thoughts, I thought the first 4 seasons were really good. There's a massive falloff after that, for 5 and 6. Season 7 wasn't terrible but it's still not great.

Some random thoughts
Be right back - I think the scene on the cliff where she tells the ai to jump is really well done. Would be lower if not for that.
White christmas - I'll give this episode credit because it was first but they really overuse the cookies concept in later episodes
San Junipero - This one's just boring? I don't get why people like it so much
Hang the DJ - I actually liked the early parts of the episode. The whole idea of leaving romance to some system that can magically find your perfect match. I like the part where they're forced to be with someone they don't even like for a whole year to give data to the system. That's interesting. But then the ending happens. "It was just a simulation lmao". Am I supposed to be surprised or impressed or something? yay yippe 200 digital clones are dead. Also, good romance is hard to execute and black mirror is bad at it
Joan is awful - The concept of the episode is cool but holy shit is the execution terrible
Mazey day - This episode is so bad that it actually wraps around to being good
Bête Noire - Kinda boring and I think the idea of one person creating a quantum compiler or whatever to control the universe is too ridiculous for me to suspend my disbelief
uss callister: into infinity - good episode but they already did the living in someone else's head thing in dark museum. I wish it had a more unique ending

I'm slowly becoming a ST fan. I watched all episodes of TNG which I talked about it here, then watched all the TOS ones and the movies. I forgot I was posting about it here but yeah, TOS is pretty good too for the most part. I even liked Spock's brain. Gave up on SNW after the first season, now I just watch people on yt shitting on it every single episode. Apparently it's a mess, glad I fired it early. Watched a couple of Starfleet Academy and it was a joke, fired after just a couple of episodes.

I tried DS9 but didn't really care for it. It's not a bad show, just something I don't feel like watching it for now. Instead I went straight to Voyager and I'm enjoying it.

I'm obsessed with Digital-ism being EVIL.
Yes, I know im on a forum rn; but its a means to an end…Eg; tomorrow I will buy a Dumbphone and seal away my old smartphone in a wooden box

yeah! i think this is very cool, there is for example a minidisc wiki that explains how to get into minidisc technology today. i wont participate in any buzzwords though. it is just older technology to me.

My backup PC from 2016 is the most vintage thing I have

>>71119
Antique technology is a cool thing to be interested in if you just enjoy playing with it and studying how it works
I think "replacing digital tech" with it sounds crank-ish. There are legitimate reasons to want to restrict or avoid certain technologies, but believing there's something inherently wrong with bits is a weird magical idea. The functions and impacts of the device are what matter

>>71093
I resized and compressed a few more pics. Luckily there is a built in option in the windows picture viewer that does it.

>>71095
The one on top of the feeder was taken at a bit closer distance and with a shorter focal length I think. It came out a little sharper

>>71092
This is a really beautiful cat and a great picture. I know the shutter count is mostly meaningless for actual wear but it does give an indication of how much the camera was used at least.

One thing that keeps happening though is the buttons on the top left of the camera don't do anything most of the time when I press them. They're supposed to bring up camera menus. I don't know if the camera is actually defective or there's something I'm doing wrong.

I just bought a drone this morning because the government in the US banned chinese drones which are far and away the best and cheapest drones out there. Basically the way they're doing it is anyone who has a drone still gets to fly them and the current stock on the shelves is legal to buy and fly, but they won't be getting more and you also can't repair your drone through them if it breaks. The repair thing is potentially concerning, but I figure we should be able to get parts because there is a big enough demand for them someone will be making them. There are already boards you can buy to hack into batteries and override their cutoff mechanism that stops them from working if the case is opened. As far as I understand it, the reason they're doing the ban is because Trump's family members own some sort of drone company now and they're trying to get rid of the competition. I figure this nonsense will die down once the Trump crime family is out of office.

I always look at expensive purchases through the lens of what is the depreciation curve going to look like and can you afford the depreciation cost of trying something out and potentially not even getting into it and then selling your stuff later. I hate selling stuff because it involves interacting with normies, but I do have an ebay account in good standing that I use for that from time to time. If I don't like this drone I expect it to sell well because it was the top of the line consumer drone at the time the ban came in so it will probably be in demand going forward on the secondary market.

It looks like it might be a fun way to shoot some video though, and I want to try using one to do some 3D gaussian splats of areas sometime.

I took some videos today of some deer at 1080p 120 fps with my new E-M1X and they came out better than I was expecting. 4x slowmo looks good. I realize I probably need to get some sort of tripod though.

My problem with a lot of these "designed" boardgames is that a lot of them are just "chess but the pieces move different". Now I'm not huge into the boardgame design scene, so I'm sure there's some innovation, but that's sort of my impression as a dilettante. Another thing is that there's often times no digital versions of these games which makes trying them out nearly impossible. So, it reduces the game to an intellectual curiosity rather than a proper game you can actually play and invest your time in.

>>71072
>no digital versions of these games which makes trying them out nearly impossible

i'm trying to think which widely available program could be use to play them. something like a simple mspaint/kolourpaint might be too crude since there is only one layer of paint so moving pieces would include moving the background the pieces are on as well.

there is a tabletop simulator on steam, this might work, i have been waiting for it for 10 years for it to be cheaper during a sale, no luck so far.

i guess powerpoint/LibreOfficeImpress should work, you could use paint to cut out pieces and paste them into powerpoint, each remaining a individual, clickable, moveable image you can drag around with the mouse

>I sometimes daydream of some sort of board game where AI actually can't win.

this is probably the guy to talk about the dream lol

You're learning to use Python. It's what primary school students are taught so they can create small programming projects, like little games.

>>71080
99% of people on earth alive right now have no idea what even "coding" is.

so wizzies did you try learning go?

>>69349
Few years ago. Watched a anime about it and got curious. Learned a bit more about the rules and basic strategy then played online a bit. Found it kind of boring and full games tedious so just stopped.

At this point I am pretty sure I forgot all the strategies I learned and most of the rules.
Also never played once in real life or even knew another person in real life who knew how to play it.
With chess it was mainly a way of bonding between my father and me, so it will always have that connection even though I have fallen out with the game. But with Go there is zero connection for me in my personal life. No strong memories.

>>69350
I see, I want to learn chess and go too

>>65914
I hated Chess so much
>>69349
I'm going to try purchasing a set if it's cheap

I think the physical war games depends on the certain rulesets and how seriously people take them. From what I've heard there's often a couple books and a judge involved in serious matches. Seems very confusing. I just like to collect and paint - though struggle to find motivation. I will encounter one hiccup building a model and mess it up slightly, which kills my enthusiasm to build more. Especially for the more expensive stuff. If one regular 10 piece soldier gives me grief, how will I build those 100~200 piece flagship models? It's very overwhelming

>>71086
>I will encounter one hiccup building a model and mess it up slightly, which kills my enthusiasm to build more.

when you mess something up, you can correct it through lore. when you paint one eye too low, that's an unfortunate accident in the cybernetic surgery for the occular augmentation one particular soldier had the misfortune of suffering from.

>>71091
Oh certainly but for some models I do want them built correctly. I have one warhammer unit with his should and top of the arm not connecting by like a 1/4 inch, it looks totally off but I intend to make it a gory mess of battle damage

>>71094
you could get one of these manual 3d printing pens like the youtuber '3D Sanago'. with that you could fill in missing material and do-over mistakes by adding a blob of plastic on them and then with a set of tiny files give it the right shape.

>>71103
Its even smaller stuff too, the book ttells me to make 85% of the model and I do, then it asks me to place a tiny piece in an awkward spot. Idk wtf thte retards are thinking when designing the instructions. too me 30 minsutes and a messy result to glue one dumb piece on

>>70691
>>71015
>Can you elaborate on this, wizzy?
This

Sure but it's mostly nonsense especially the western stuff, it's wishy-washy garbage that gets regurgitated by little old ladies repeatedly, especially new age crud

I'm more interested in the fixed stars now, the more ancient schools of astrology, like the ancient chinese considered the fixed stars

>>64591
I found this book about Astrology by Aleister Crowley, still there are more book about Aleister Crowley about this topic and are very enjoyable bacause looks kinda old and traditional to me without new age woo-woo.

>>71020
I remember reading this, it wasn't very memorable except the usual 'psychic inference' (pulling nonsense out the ass) about the newly discovered planets and their effects

>>61466
I've wanted to read Ellic Howe's writings on the subject, but I'm not really interested in astrology generally
