The situation in the booru "seems" to have stabilized and they are allegedly getting taken under Catbox, whereas the forum is 100% gonna get nuked. If you guys have content you like posted there SAVE IT, this is your last chance.

>Saw the boorus get purged in recent years.
Which boorus of any significance had a loli purge exactly? Dan auto blacklisted loli for non-accounts as a cash grab and Gel never flinched on Loli, even upholding their old toddlercon ban. ATF booru still exists. E621 had to hide human loli but they're open to bringing it back if they restructure their hosting. Only one major pony booru bans loli but it's out of pony purism. Paheal technically dropped loli in like 2015 but who the fuck cares about paheal besides third world Disney kid diaperhuffers?

The artist I cared about more than a decade ago had all of their ss images removed/blacklisted on gelbooru. I assumed this was also true for some other artists but did not investigate further and moved on to other things. Like I said, not my main kink.

The only reasons I can see Gelbooru of all places purge an artist is because

- The artist got buttmad and sent Gelbooru his dox in the form of a DMCA
- The artist wasn't Japanese and his style wasn't Japanese-ey
- It was newborn / scat/ hyperfuta / grotesque gore shota
- It never went anywhere, but because it was tagged Shota you needed to click the "yes I'd like to see shota" button and browse with the accompanying browser cookie

Whenever one of my favorite loli artist gets purged, I… Wait… That never happens because everybody loves loli!

Can't be the first 3 reasons. After 5 minutes (which goes to show how much I've been using the site since the recent updates) of searching I found the checkbox to display all site contents. A rather ineffective way to hide "fringe results" because only posts tagged with basic shota tag get affected. There are explicit images (newer posts or intentionally left untagged) that lack it and still can be found with the box unchecked.

I suffer from social anxiety IRL but I also feel little need to socialize.

I've always had 0 friends on Steam. Never been on Discord.
I always avoid joining guilds in MMOs. I turn down friend requests in other games. I have no online friends/contacts.

The only downside is that I am missing out on multiplayer games that require team coordination but I just can't stomach having to speak on a mic.

It helps to avoid any media that involves friendships. Anime and kids cartoons are notorious for this sort of propaganda. It affects anyone even if they're aware of it. Single player games that aren't story focused generally don't have that issue.

I also have empty steam friends list essentially. It's probably social ignorance for me more than anxiety. I observe discord groups for guilds in mmos and there's all this madness going on and these cliques and established people with their strange hierarchies led by histrionic types. I think is it really worth the effort to try to relate to this alien soup? So far it has not been. I have been my whole life constantly disappointed by people.

I have a personal rule: I do not allow myself to gamble. Particularly, any sort of unskilled games like the lottery or slot machines. I don't trust myself with the "freedom" to gamble. That being said, I would play (low-stakes) skilled games—such as card games like poker—should the opportunity ever arise. (It hasn't.)
I recently encountered a conundrum which has challenged this "code:" raffles. Last Christmas, my relative gifted me a package of Fallout-themed sodas. Upon opening my first bottle, I noticed a blue star on the inner side of the cap. Any Fallout player knows that these blue stars are valuable, and I immediately scanned the QR code to learn more. I discovered that I won a ticket for a raffle. I knew I had no chance to win, but I debated all-day whether to enter the raffle. This is a slippery-slope, I reasoned. If I allow myself to do this, I can never purchase a package of this brand of soda without being ever-so-slightly biased by the raffle. In essence, this is gambling with extra steps. Eventually, I decided that I hadn't purchased the sodas myself, and—even if I had—I would not have purchased those with the raffle in mind. So, I entered the raffle.
After doing further research, I discovered that the raffle is limited to one entry-per-person, not one-per-ticket. So, I guess it's not quite gambling. Still, I'm left with the same conundrum: When do raffle tickets become gambling? What is the line between a raffle ticket and a lottery ticket?

I made a few hundred bucks just using all the freebies from the myriad of casinos in my country.

look at the people who gamble. are those people you look up to, people you want to be like, people you would hope to befriend, people who you would ask for advice? people who you think practive good mental and physical health? people who are moral?

casinos are evil places and the world would be better without. it is where bad people prey on desperate people. casinos are streams of passive income for the few, they provide soul sucking jobs that ruin the employees and turn them corrupt, they insist on security theater, they are used for other kinds of theater too, they reserve the right to be unfair, usually there is alcohol involved, which is a gateway to unhealthy food.

every second you waste in the casino is a second you could have spent to learn how to live within your means better, which is a skill. the longer you stay at the casino the more likely you are to lose money unless you own the place.

gambeling has a magnetic attraction … it attracts idiots.

What is it that you want in life?
Sometimes I want to be a quiet wandering tourist in the world. Just read history and politics and watch the geopolitical events unfold as a spectator. A tourist in the human race, uninvolved with everyone.

I remember being in primary school as a little kid and being uninterested in playing with anyone. I just wanted to wander in my own thoughts and wander in the playground aimlessly. I sometimes observed the other students. Boys playing football. succubi huddled in groups talking. Not wishing to take part myself I just analysed.

Sometimes I wish I had some great talent to such a degree that I change the course of human history. Write a world changing philosophical novel. Be a fierce Nietzschean warrior like some pirate or French Foreign Legion member. Ridiculous delusions.

Live for pleasure? (Freud) Live for power? (Nietzsche) Live for meaning? (Frankl).
What do you do? Life is so short. I am 31 years old. My body is not where I could be. My achievements are not where they could be.

What do you live for?

I'm turning 30 in a month and I wish I knew man.
I let my health decline to a ridiculous degree.
Let myself rot both in mind and body.
I'm a man of inaction and similar to you I have voyeuristic tendencies. I used to just observe people too, I liked watching, doing not so much.
I'd be fine as a spectator. Or at least that is what I tell myself.

>>323197
Feel this too. I tried getting rid of as much as I could recently. I'm burdened by a lot of digital hoarding as well. Not just physical items.
It was a great relief every time I cut out something.
One less thing to manage or worry about keeping around.



One of my childhood dreams was to someday have enough money to buy a small house in a village and have a rose garden and just chill for the rest of my life. No work.
At the time it seemed attainable. Today, not really short of a miracle.
Even if you "own" stuff you have to maintain it, things go bad, gotta buy it again and many things are extremely pricey. Imagine having to buy a fridge every 5 years if you "retired" with no income.
Or a washing machine etc.
Just sustaining yourself also comes with a bunch of recurring payments. It's a pain. The grind never ends.

it really does feel like that but i like to think those people are even more miserable then me. i always felt these people envy me and i never envied them. the direction of envy clearly flows in my favor and i have all their envy and they have none of mine.

i still think you should get healthy and hope that a miracle happens. being healthy is nice. it doesn't make what you describe go away but it makes everything way easier.

Recently I feel like the large corporations that run everything have really been dropping the ball. The end user experience for shopping at walmart of Amazon or wherever used to be almost flawless and you could understand how they got to be practical oligopolies. Today though? The experience is so amazingly shit. You can tell none of these corporations gives a shit about the day to day. They have some apps managing everything and they just punish the slaves when some app tells them to. It is such a lazy form of decay.


Anyone else noticing this? Almost across the board in every realm of life it seems like the system is more full of bugs and random failures. Everything works just barely well enough to still keep functioning but at the same time it's decaying and degrading. I think there's not enough actual competition anymore in society. All the power structures are set and all the lowest worms in society have wriggled their way to the top of them.

There are going to be face scans and ID checks at every Internet checkpoint. VPNs are denied service.

All of your online activities will be monitored and tied to your face and soon this will include your offline activities with your PC and digital devices.

Everything will eventually be integrated into a single over-socialized AI driven automated system of citizen micromanagement.

You will police your own thoughts and tell on yourself in a kafkaesque court to both contest and find out the offense that brought you there.

I've been listening to Baby's First Game theory lectures which gives quite a neat answer.

The main strategy of the aristocracy is to consolidate power, by cheating the system, through collusion, that's difficult to detect, and enforcing discipline within their own ranks.

And I mean *specifically* the aristocracy, people with intergenerational wealth and institutional power who can make decisions that nobody else without the use of violence can overturn. Not the interchangeable faces used to keep the police cars on the road and the Colombians in the fields. Anyone in this position knows that resorting to violence invites instability, which is the only thing that is a proven credible threat to their positions.

Maintaining the criminality of $x in an extreme form, a transgressor from the in-group can be publicly punished and their agency removed - without any particular suspicion.

So say party A fucks up in a money laundering operation as part of said aristocracy and as a result, party B loses enough money to notice it. What course of redress do they have?

The courts? That runs the risk of some clerk gunning for promotion finding the link between A and B

Assassination? Immediately all sorts of attention is turned on the activities of the victim, same problem.

PR/MSM blasting? That may have worked once but not so much any more.

As such it's in the aristocracy's interest to maintain a form of punishment that is humiliating, life destroying, and completely erodes credibility. One that the majority of people without capital or connections finds distasteful so it's self reinforcing is ideal.

Hence.

Literally every house in the Canadian real estate market is owned by these bug people and they straw buy these houses as a front for their fentanyl drug money laundering so that Canadians can't buy homes. Not only that but more of them are lobbying our governments and taking jobs from Canadians. We're literally having a chinkpocalypse right now.

It depends, like half intermarry with white people and assimilate over the course of 30-60 years. The other half literally live self-segregated lives, insist that their social circles and families remain pure Chinese, have a belief in the one drop rule for racial purity, and will be loyal to mainland China over their host society.

A half Chinese guy I know who gets confused for Chinese tells me that they are constantly talking shit about white people.

When I was a NEET for almost a decade I didn't do anything, just like you, some games, youtube, scrolling manga/manhwa/hua mindlessly.
Once every few weeks I'd get the spark of motivation to try stuff, had some fun, but often whatever I started ended up gathering dust.
Now I have worked for 3-4 years (I'm 30) and when I'm off the clock it feels like I travel through time to the next shift.
When I have a week vacation or something it passes by in the blink of an eye.
I no longer game because it takes too much effort, learning new stuff is too much of a barrier for me. I got pathfinder 2 and stuff sitting there downloaded, but too much effort.

I just scroll manga now. Even anime is too much focus for me. Scroll and daydream. Kinda feeling like a kid in highschool again. I'd always daydream the hours away.
I had things I thought I wanted to do, but clearly since I'm not doing those things I didn't really want them to begin with maybe.

I feel you on the NPC thing OP. It feels like some fundamental humanity, the divine spark is missing. I can rotate the apple in my head and have inner monologues if we are talking meme shit like that, but in reality I do nothing.
I pursue nothing. I am nothing.

A doctor, randomly unpromted went on a long advice/rant to me about needing long term goals and how to pursue them.
I guess he simply diagnosed me with shit-life-syndrome and decided to throw me a bone.

The problem is I have zero goals or real desires that would serve as a purpose. Without a purpose there is no reason to strive, you can just focus on mitigating pain and suffering while maximizing pleasure.
Basically working a dead end low responsibility job, surviving, getting home jerking off until my foreskin tears or scrolling until my fingers develop RSI or tendonitis is all that is left.
Hell putting effort into your own health becomes something you subconsciously classify as an unworthy pursuit if you really have nothing to go on for.
Unfortunately the next sadpanda upload isn't enough of a reason to keep living.

You weren't contrarianfagging so you weren't owned but you did prove the point by replacing the soldiers with succubi. The lyrics are about fake heros and the other anon said you need men for war which exists because of men.

The future is 90% succubi and 10% men. All jobs become basket weaving in the end anyway and men need a lot of cool stuff and protein which is unsustainable.

The 10% men will be waging war through hi-tech ball games and be in elite condition.
