(note to mods: so activities here are illegal but Im asking whether this exists, not incentivizing it)
Is there any groups that do ARG as a sport\hobby? Probably they keep it secret but, it seems there's an overlap between chaos Magick in urban centres, underground music (punk, black metal, some obscure electronic genres), militant far-left groups…So far ,by my poor research I know of trends such as:
>extreme graffiti, including dangerous urban exploring, and urban (Clandestine) rappelling
>that sport where you use roller blades in your 4 limbs and slide trough-down speeding cars
>train-hopping (not trainspotting), pioneered in Germany by "youth gangs"
>"expose risk challenges" Bringing a banned item into a place and photographing yourself holding it. Like that nerd with the LSD tablet in Mecca. Maybe Mein Kampf inside a synagogue, a portrait of Bomber Harris inside a Berlin pub, whatever
>crowd surfing, last-hour taking trains or subways, sewer line exploration or abandoned train carriage\ factory squatting ,and camping, etc
does this exist? or am I too meth-headed?

Back in mah day, "I N G R E S S" was a game with a hint of "extreme"-ish adrenaline.


Some "portals" would be located in gated areas.

In fact, at some point, I convinced a guard to only merely let me in for several meters "because I have a bet with my friends to check in here, not a real need to get inside"

Guard was like "oh, ok, nice water tower, happy photoshoot"

It's an imageboard software running with PHP and Javascript. The "Install" is done through PHP once prerequisits are met and is done in order to create the appropriate databases and tie everything together without the operator needing to move things around or manually rename repeating assets when a new board is added.

I want to put my ideas into a webcomic but I don't really see the purpose, instead I play music and imagine the whole series in my head for only me to enjoy. I think it's a pretty good story as well, I'm an amateur at art, been practicing since a youngin' but need improvement to reach the level of true expression or translation from mind to paper and it feels as if I'm never content with the visuals I create on paper. Thus it stays in my head, isn't it funny

im now b2 and i consider myself pretty fluent this is the easiest and the most enjoyable way to learn languages

 No.67318

read the book, fluent forever by gabriel wyner(sp?) will help a lot.

different language require some different approach, you generally get good return on building vocabulary though.

biggest mistake people do trying to learn a language is they try to learn by latching onto their native language with those ideas, words, thoughts. you need to build an entirely new language from the ground up, that means not associating your new language words to your old language words, you need an intermediary, a translation and interpretation layer far more powerful for the mind, that is imagery and emotion. you need to build your language up from thinking the target language word, and first thing that comes into your mind are images, and not the translated meaning in your native tongue. that is the crux and major stumbling block/paradigm shift required to be proper successful and where most fail with their language learning.

find a movie you know really well, all the dialogue, get the sub and dub for it, play it in background or on another screen. listen to music in that target language, watch videos. have an actual physical good dictionary for that language next to you, do this as a habit you hear a word, you randomly open up and try find it, try find what it means.

language acquisition is making all these little easy habits that add up and require almost no effort, for years, culminating into almost effortless. or you can train hard all out for a couple weeks.months then forget about it and never pick it up again. i tried both, i made the mistakes, and learned, then got better. maybe this can help you if you try it. that book fluent forever check it out.

Anyone else just really like the feeling and use of a Mechanical Keyboard? Recently picked one up from my local Walmart for $70. Old Razer 2019 BlackWidow and it feels nice. Wondering if anyone else likes them too.

I have some cheapo GXT mechanical keyboard with red switches. It's great, it works, though I've also had membrane keyboards a decade ago that also felt super nice. As long as they keys aren't those flat laptop style keys I don't really care much. I prefer the feeling of Blue switches but hate the sound. Browns are just a bad compromise.

i feel like i should note that i don't care at all about french language or culture, and maybe this is why i liked this so much. it glorified in a comedic way ancient france's origin as gaul, and made fun of modern french culture. most of the comedy was situational and via props and actions. it was just a good movie, but it was french so i felt like posting about it here. apparently the first movie in the series reignited french filmmaking and received so much attention and praise, so it seems to have become a cherished series over in france i think

i started learning french in may 2023 with the goal of reading french philosophy and sociology books. i guess i got to the level i wanted to by a year or so later, but i got too lazy with just watching fun stuff on youtube like let's plays (in french) that i'm only just now trying to read actual french philosophy. it's going great, tho. some of it i find tough, but it's because the ideas, concepts, and arguments that i'm finding tough, the language itself isn't giving me any trouble.

i still struggle to understand very casual french, it feels like trying to understand a thick scottish accent as an esl. i could improve in that respect if i engaged a lot with it, but i actually don't care.

i'm also one of those who thinks (or thought) that the language sounds really ugly. but now i honestly can't really remember what it "sounded" like.

Recently I've been getting into photography. I've found that after doing so, I perceive moments in different ways. Things simultaneously seem more transient, yet more permanent. It's a sensation that's difficult to describe, except to say that I am more 'aware' of the moments around me. For obvious reasons I have avoided urban areas, but in terms of landscapes and natural shots, it is quite peaceful.

Any photography hobbyists here?

A Halloween store. It's empty except for the month of October, where it gets full of cute succubus outfits for little with succubi, and anime cosplay. After Halloween, all of the employees are ground in to a fine paste and shipped to the shrimp farms as chum.

I think there was a thread here not long ago of a mage building humanoid robots. It was themed like the bible, with something about the female robot being eve and the male adam.

Look at his /diy/ threads. I think his obsession with his robots is interesting and admire his relentlessness but it is quite clear that he has no idea what he's doing. His arrogance when experienced people point out his ignorance is off-putting. That being said, I do not resent him and wish him all the best but looking at his track record it seems unlikely he'll get even remotely close to success.

Also feel free to discuss whatever topic regarding both disciplines comes to mind, from certain mental illnesses to the general merit of psychology and psychiatry.

You are looking at opinions from the loons in the looney bin, or ones who should be. That is like asking a criminal/prisoner what he thinks about law enforcement and prisoner reform.
