this is the definitive sea serpent book all researchers derive from. Some aspects obsolete but better than paying hundreds for the latest take on it. Prolly a giant eel, they can get up to 50ft supposedly

The classic many-humped sea serpent is thought to be a zeuglodon.

Heuvelmans called the big eels super-eels

It's a sea serpent if it has many humps, a long neck, or looks like a reptile

Sea Serpents are an interesting phenomena for sure.

Excuse for my english.

This is my stance. Im pro-escapism. Against the common beliefe that escapism is coward avoidance, i say that escapism is actually a natural human response to hopeless anxiety, and is a self-therapeutic mechanism to heal and grow. Neither i believe that it is coping mechanism, as that term is usually used in condescending way, and also because i believe escapism is a practical phenomenom to strengten the individual. I believe escapism is a stage of needed mental relaxation, deliberance, organization and grow to confront the problems that seems to be unresolvable.

And i believe that escapism itself has different stages, i would say that it starts with distraction, then abstraction, then evolution.

A problem with escapistic media that i have is that it has became his own market, ultracapitalistic individual consuming timewasters. And that is a trap that it is too easy to fall for. You can start your journey with anime, movies, or vidya, but these might stop you at the distraction stage, because they are designed specifically to be products to be consumed as much as possible. They appeal to your lower instincts, rather than provide you with novel insight. Here is where the idealistic media that OP mentions is situated, in both narrative and aesthetic endeavors, the material becomes ultrageneric and completely lacks of substance.

So i advice to be very weary of falling for mainstream comercial media. Not to say to avoid genres or mediums, but that at certain point it is necessary to search for greater quality of art, or actual art to be honest. You can watch the latest generic moeshit, or find some niche manga where the author is going to communicate his perspective. Play fortnite, or a videogame thats praised for its innovation. Watch marvel movies, or go find international directors.

And here is when you start to learn, reevaluate and think about problem resolution. When you start to slowly come in contact with different perspective of realism. Literature (fiction and nonfiction) are better for this than other media. Ive been leaving anime and cinema for literature and is a world with both, ultrapessimism and enlightening optimism. I will never gonna stop reading manga, i would fucking die when i stop reading manga.

I would say that it is okay to start with idealistic mediPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>But he decided to spend that time whining about nothing instead of shut up and start doing the thing. And does that every time.

Sounds like the average wizard.

>>296691
I could see you taking this post into a whole personal philosophy. Nice blog, anon. Subscribed.

>Realism vs Idealism

i can't even see this perspective anymore. i am surrounded by so much lying, acting, pretending, sugar coating, political correctness that all i am seeing is either the real or the fake. everything that isn't real i just lump together as fake. i can't even enjoy fiction anymore.

Regardless of this being sarcasm or sincere, thank you

chad wizards enjoy a clean room

Go away jordan peterson

I hate being in a dirty room

i never clean my room, occasionally my mom will come in and take some trash I've accumulated, mostly old envelopes and pill bottles

I was a full blown alcoholic until August when I caught a DUI. Decided to change my shitty addictive behavior and am now over 4 months sober. I filled over 6 contractor bags with all the empty beer cans, liquor bottles, and other nasty shit that completely covered my bedroom floor. I can’t believe I lived like such an asshole.

The image was made before the release of the 3DS to sway men on /v/ from buying one

>>296276
3DS was released in 2011 like March or something, it doesn't change my point that much.

>>296282
It makes the comic a decade old for one thing, you fucking louse.

>>296283
Read this you zoomer moron:
>Even if this is an edit, a decade ago is 2012. 2012(-2014) is basically the tipping point of geekdom fully entering the mainstream, changed and commodified, so if as a zoomer you became cognisant of subcultures around that point, it was already too late.

I know time passing is a new concept to you but "a decade" doesn't mean anything when it was literally the start of the mainstream era of geek. Hell, I'm being generous most oldfags would say 2008 was the start of the decline of geekdom.

If you just want to play steam games on a mobile device it's great for tech illiterates. If you want to do literally anything more… no, don't touch it if you're illiterate.

It's a tinkers device at heart and once you leave the walled garden you can't be retarded.

The things you talk about still exist, it's the platforms that's changed. You can't say RIP VHS, why is no one making no new movies when they're making endless streaming garbage. The mediums changed and you didn't keep up so you miss out on Nu internet culture. I think those platforms suck too so you'll never seen me on tiktok or discord but that's where the current fluid internet is while we sit on the frozen internet long forgotten.

Sad, I wasn't aware cripplekike would stoop so low. Where can I earn more about this oppo? I don't know anything about crypto shit

South Pacific immigrant posting from a repurposed septic tank here. I just got payed 18 Shibainu to influence this thread in the direction of Equi-fascism. Wizchan has been a listed target in my handbook for years but I felt a connection to you chums right away so I never spammed here on master's behalf. I've been learning how to kill myself from you guys for years because I'd rather die then live a life spamming dinosaur cocknipple vore on dead forums for kids in exchange for virtual shavings of pennies.

jealous, wagie life sucks

>>296325
why continue to work?

>>296344
i don't know really, mostly that getting on neetbucks isn't a guarantee for me I guess? I'll definitely try if I ever get fired/frustrated enough to quit but right now I'm just too locked into the schedule of work, eat, chores, sleep to really do much thinking about other options

Nothing wrong with working if you can stomach it. For me it would be either NEETbux or voluntarily going to prison (first world) because I would hate being homeless and don't have the determination to actually sudoku.

I've lost the packaging but the headphones were about $40 and worked pretty good in standard applications. It really wasn't a comfortable way to sleep given I've slept on my side my entire life. I'd often wake up and they'd be off my head

>>296111
Not exactly. There's a question of islolating inner and outer surfaces with a medium in the middle that does not conduct vibrations (think double-paned glass, which has a vacuum between the two panes). There's a question of how well the outer layer reflects rather than simply absorbs external waves. There's a question of tuned absorbers that tend to trap a particular frequency range far better than just a bundle of fiberglass or whatever sitting there.

Acoustics is complicated enough to lean in to seeming like black magic to the uninitiated, just like radios, microwave ovens, or even just network cabling. I slept with those -30dB foam earplugs mentioned earlier for years when I lived under a college party house. Makes a real difference even if I could still hear everything.

Imagine the smell of that thing after a good session of fapping, let alone after you have fapped in there for weeks.

>>296270
I would actually sleep in one of those if it had airholes
