thos. come to them or wait they get near you and do weird sounds, like this for exemple https://voca.ro/1zZhkAToq7hU

>People are browsing Wizchan in middle school

Goddamn, where has time gone. Anyway for the most part if they push you punch them or grab them by the hair and slam them onto something. And be ready to do it again if they push you, or something.

G- G- GR1?

Finish high school and don't shoot it up, anon!

mooch some cigarettes off of a family member or something and offer a few to them so they'll think you're cool
befriending my bullies back in middle school was probably the best thing that could've happened to me socially, although by highschool i was just a slight weirdo again with a small clique of friends

>>316020
do you wish for it

I wonder why alan moore hates dc and trump so much

of course there is a sound in my head when i read texts or type/write, but i cant decide if i have the same sound when i think.

if you are able to self-reflect and ask such questions, then it's safe to say you're not an NPC. not caring about politics and current news cycle? yeah, i'd say even more so.

>>316110
I record my thoughts quite often and don't care about mainstream news, but I barely feel sentient at times.

I don't have strong opinions about anything. Like if I did a movie review show I would probably rate everything an 8/10. I don't have a strong love of anything or a strong hate of anything. Sometimes I pretend to have strong feelings about things so I can fit in.

But I don't think that has anything to do with not having an inner monologue. I often have arguments inside my head, going back and forth on both sides of any point. I can never decide which is the "correct" side or proper opinion.

i have noticed that some people just say opinions just to combat akwardness and start a converstion. This can be as small as telling someone else who is waiting in an line and you are too "ugh i hate standing in long lines" people hope to get an answer that way so they can talk about something

>We tested the extents to which height was associated with having a certain number of children, and with having a certain number of children survive infancy. Multinomial logistic regressions were used. In terms of findings, height’s relationship to fertility outcomes was curvilinear: being shorter-than-average (0.75–0.5 standard deviations below the mean height) was associated with a higher probability of being married and having five to seven children, while being moderately tall (0.5 standard deviations above the mean height) was associated with the lowest probability of being unmarried.

>If paternal fertility played a role in the secular growth trend, we would expect to see very tall men have the most children, and clearly have the most children surviving infancy. Given this study’s findings, it is unlikely that this was the case.

This is from a dutch study

Seems like tall men consistently get into stable marriages, but short men sire more children. It makes sense, because the underclass is actually pretty midget and they proliferate like locusts.

>>316036
Yeah, if you look at Mexico most big families are with 1 midget guy and 1 even shorter succubus.

If you see the rare tall man, they often have kids with multiple succubi but not enough to make their genes "mainstream" in society.

Due to sheer numbers, the short underclasses will always be the majority of the population in any country.

Are shorter succubi not more favored? Short mother/tall father is more likely to create shorter offspring than tall mother/short father.

>>316097
Only by creeps and weeaboos. Like you said, genes are inherited from both parents.

Only a sadist weirdo wants his son to be even shorter than himself by breeding with a very short succubus.

>>316097
>Are shorter succubi not more favored

Not really honestly. For all the quirky "I'm smol" things succubi do, guys are pretty indifferent to a shorter height and just want a partner a little shorter than them. In the abstract guys will go for "tall busty blonde" as their generic sexual desire.

succubi obsess over being small and short because they're often auto-pedophiles and enjoy feeling like literal children.

This is "Cyberpunk!" - a short story written by Bruce Bethke in 1983. William Gibson actively rejected using the term in early interviews about the Sprawl trilogy. I believe there are interesting parallels to be drawn between Gibson's and Bethke's work.

One of the most important is the approach to and interest in language, specifically technological language. Bethke was fascinated at the realization that some seedy-looking kids on mopeds were able to commit cybervandalism beyond his comprehension at the RadioShack he was working at. Bethke is humble but was no slouch–later in life he went on to program on Cray supercomputers, not something that every RadioShack hackerman of his generation could say. Bethke's stroke of innovation was at the idea of the linguistic aptitude of youth (and the linguistic inventiveness of youth, such as teen slang) merging with the advancing material importance of human-unreadable programming languages. A cyberpunk, as such, was a punk kid who grew up speaking a modem phreaker's argot as his native slang, and who put it to the same uses as contemporary motorcycle punks put their hard acceleration or contemporary phone phreakers put their own skills - to commit crimes of various magnitudes and vandalism with varying degrees of purposefulness. We often lose sight of this when we talk about cyberpunk in the more restrictive and proscriptive terms of grand epics like Neuromancer or The Matrix. Bethke's cyberpunks were not concerned with whether or not the system is in any way damaged by their crimes, or even with whether or not the system is in the wrong at all. They care little for whether or not something is right, in the system or in themselves. Their primary concern is more regarding whether or not it is possible, whether or not they can use the language of technology to craft the spell that will bend the system in ways that will leave Cray maintainers scratching their heads and wondering how the hell they did that and whether or not it can be undone for long hours into the night.

Gibson has spoken at length about the limits of his technological knowledge at the time he wrote Neuromancer. The long and short of it is that he immersed himself in the poetics of technical language without connecting it to any practical knowledge of the specific funPost too long.

Having argued the intersection between language and technology as an important but overlooked aspect of what gives cyberpunk its particular flavor, I think we may have lost some important quality of cyberpunk. I will even go so far as to say that loss does reflect on an important loss in our current society. But if so I do not think that quality is "rebellious struggle against authority" and it is certainly not a matter of righteousness within that struggle. I very strongly doubt it is a matter of modern cyberpunk carrying insufficient vaguely left anarchist sentiments regarding capital and the state.

No, I think it's far worse than that. There are two very important things that I think we've lost.

Firstly, I believe we have lost the linguistic cyberneticization of the phreaker epoch. This is because technology and the way we interact with it has changed course. Legal and social restrictions turned out to matter more than most cyberpunk authors thought they would. The most eerily accurate cyberpunk dystopian vision of the future is "The Right to Read" by Dr. Richard Stallman. Younger generations no longer outpace older ones in terms of adaptation of or aptitude with communications technologies, or the weaponization thereof. All important, technically innovative cybercriminals from 2012 or so onwards are state actors and presumably late-20s through middle aged, like Jia Tan. Exceptions may go to crypto scammers, but those are just financial criminals who happen to have e-mail addresses. Even in adoption of user end technology we do not see the incline or separation of userbase that would suggest a thriving punk scene. TikTok is full of Millennials as their primary demographic base and the millennial generation is now 40 fucking years old. Growing up immersed in next generation technology has not created a lingua technica amongst the next generation, nor granted them the digital agility to outmaneuver a stodgy rigid system. Nick Land may be right, the system may be more flexible, agile, adaptable than its human substrate.

Secondly, and more importantly. What I think we have lost as a society is the concept of a separate and specific cultural and more importantly linguistic boundary reserved for teenagers. Some of you will probably argue this point, but guys. Gen Z doesn't use that stultifying tiktok slang any moPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

so if I get it all, cyberpunk without the punk is not cyberpunk? punk associate with youth, right? also knowing some technical words and knowledge about technology is required, right?
is akira the most iconic juvenile punk in a cyberpunk dystopia?
also blade runner was like a noir movie or hardboiled hero (I think its the right term: hardboiled , I forgot).
what do you think of cyberpunk 2077?
your posts are very good, you serm to know a lot about cuberpunk and a good analyzing

>>316064
thank you I added it in my folders
>>316058
you're right, before cp2077, when you were searching for cyberpunk musics, you got a lot of stuff from different genre. now all you have is cp2077-like music (synthwave)

>>316044
Cyberpunk music was described in Neuromancer. It's Jamaican dubtrap with heavy bass.

>>316071
Akira's a very solid choice. Like all possible choices it is flawed in some ways. Akira doesn't show its suits or how suits engage with punks often enough to show them as having completely different ways of looking at and engaging with the world, and the punks are only brought into the process of merging with technology through the distant schemes of uninterested suits instead of because it is the sort of thing that exists in their environment. There are similar problems with every other possible candidate for first place, like Alex DeLarge and his crew in A Clockwork Orange (proto-cyberpunk rather than cyberpunk, but referenced by Bethke, Stephenson and Gibson as influences).

>>316095
so…the most cyberpunk music to exist is skrillex featuring damian marley https://youtu.be/BGpzGu9Yp6Y?si=NxRi5vyax_95-hu3 ? haha didn't know electro reggea was the music of the future haha

>>315857
what a coincidence? I also happen to have old HP monitor

>>315857
but I got it from my grandpa for free

I found a github for a linux Distribution called Exodia OS and downloaded their Wallpaper Repo and made this my default. Quite nice if I do say so myself. But thanks for the heads up anyway.

I've discovered this one some time ago. It has literally hundreds of early 2000 era anime wallpapers. I really like them, they are tacky in a cute way

Keep in mind though that owner is a massive coomer, but thankfully you can disable porn if you don't wish to see it

can I get a more technical answer on why we can't have one program that can borrow other programs on all the OS? why we need to rewrite it whenever we change OS?

>>316076
I see thank you

>>316075
It requires a lot of processing power which is expensive. Only Apple silicon CPU's (made after 2020) can rapidly translate x86, powerpc or other architecture commands to ARM and developing the Rosetta 2 real time emulator in Mac OS X to do it natively cost billions of dollars and thousands of programmers.

The reason why Windows can't emulate Linux or Mac programs is money. It is a gargantuan project to pull off for pretty minimal gain.

Also, Microsoft already has the upper hand in market share and likely always will. They aren't interested in running competitors apps real time through translation layers.
If someone complains they'll just tell that person to run the program through a virtual machine, not Windows.

>>316077
No problem. Sorry for the double post

>>316080
>double posting
it's ok
well I guess beside making your own OS and writing all the programs possible to fit and make everything work is impossible…or maybe AI will do all the work in the future, who knows…

>>316053
I often watch the webms I like on my folder. this one for exemple

Yes I watch MST3k episodes many times over.

>>315607
that was their plan

>>315607
the reason overwatch is popular is exclusively because of the porn. It is really ridiculous

i'm suddenly interested in catholicism, where do i start?

No, it's for building reflexes and motor skills, not muscles.

I think I might like massage stick more than foam roller.
Never thought I would find something I liked more than foam roller for dealing with DOMS.

Got one of those bowflex quick adjust dumbbells because it was on DEEP discount of 60% off and a massage gun that was 75% off.
The only bad thing is it was just one dumbbell, so now I have to hunt around for the walmart brand to make a even pair at similar price, since I ain't paying full retail for another bowflex one, even if the build quality is decent.
Still, I can make one dumbbell work for quality upper body workouts. It's the lower body where I need more weight and even distribution of a proper pair. But I got my old fashion dumbbells for those, or my kettlebell.

I know this sounds like cheating, but I recently got gastric bypass surgery and so far I've already dropped about 53lbs. Went from 430 when I started to 377 just a week or so ago. Feels amazing not feeling like total and utter shit.

>>315931
Had a neighbor that got that.
Lost like 200 pounds in the first year, then had a death in the family that they didn't cope well with and ended up gaining all the weight back, plus 100 pounds, and had gained a benzo addiction.

I guess my main point in telling this story is that you should get mental support to go along with physical support. That way your physical and mental health can reinforce your positive changes even when you face life challenges.

Regardless I wish you luck with it and hope you don't face too bad of complications.
