I don't know where to make this thread Anonymage 08/30/25 (Sat) 22:55:49 No.321282 [Reply]

I have manga and books but I don't want to read them because I'm afraid to move on to something bigger if I read. I also don't want to waste my time but I stay on internet 24/24 7/7. it is a weird effect: when I'm on internet, I see it like a virtue and something good being on internet but when I want to do an hobby (read, play video game, drawing, etc..) I see it as a waste of time…it should be contrary, I don't know why I am lile this.
I wanted to ask you, wizards, how do you make yourself read books?(mostly about the hobby: reading)

I have the exact same problem when reading books . The understanding everything thing + I also can’t concentrate if I hear/might hear (that is the retarded part) noises, which means that I basically have to be recluse in order to be able to read anything ”complicated“.

OS (Operating System) Anonymage 09/04/24 (Wed) 15:04:47 No.314581 [Reply][Last 50 Posts]

I don't understand what an OS is. why are there several OS? does this mean that one OS is worse than another? Yet each OS does the same thing: start programs. why then create different OS if they all do the same thing? Why is Linux favored by computer enthusiasts instead of Mac OS and Windows? Does one OS do something different that another OS doesn't? why Linux can't launch video games (I hear that often). how different OS; all execute applications in the same way, why create another (OS)
These are questions that I ask myself about OS because it interests me but even after seeing some videos and sites talking about OS to explain it, I still had questions and things to know.
If you know about computers very well, can you try to answer my questions, please?

OS

the layer between
* your applications you would like to run

and

* the hardware of your computer, that can calculate the math behind both your apps and computer's peripherals at the same time.

>does it mean

In means Linux is used in the niche of non-standard computers like embedded electronics.

>Remember that all of the standards DOS, Windows and to an extent Mac use were the established standard for decades, and it were Linux developers who sought to reinvent the wheel
but it's literally the opposite of this. Linux largely follows the conventions of OS design laid down in the old Unixes that inspired most modern OS's while Windows is a bloated mess of incoherent corporate decision making that only makes sense to people already mindbroken by Windows.

Look at any comparison of all modern operating systems and Windows will always be the odd one out.

Boomer movie habits Anonymage 04/14/25 (Mon) 09:31:38 No.317967 [Reply]

Why do Baby Boomers seem to have no taste for movies before their time? Not even before their time, but before their 20s or even 30s. In my personal life I've never seen one bother with any movie from before 1965, or even before 1970 for a lot of them, and they all speak of old movies from before then with a tone of total contempt. They grew up with old cowboy movies and seeing John Wayne, but as adults seem to have zero nostalgia for those films.

Contrast that with Millennials, and even older zoomers, who grew up watching 80s movies, and remember them fondly and still soyface over them hard. 1980 is as far away from the present as 1935 is to 1980.

Was stuff like Casablanca and Little Shop Around the Corner playing on TV all the time in the 1980s? It just seemed like the late 1960s was a hard cultural reset and for that generation, they put away their childhood to a degree Millennials never did, to a point where they don't even venture into that territory at all for nostalgia.

Like I'm sure some of it is young people are peter pan syndrome man-children who can't move on, but at the other end it's uncanny that all the fondness boomers have for culture comes from their early adult life instead of childhood.

My opinion is, 1950s/1960s movies and muzik were divided in 2 categories:

* movie theaters grade color movies + background music for malls like Muzak

* soap operas on 1950s tellies + traditional pop on the radio, "adult contemporary" beautiful music/easy listening

Both were, probably, overused.

Besides, Star Trek and Star Wars have changed the game of drama by employing merch.

The baby boomers mostly grew up in the 50s which was a time when Hollywood was struggling. After WW2 people had largely moved out of the cities, where theaters were the largest form of entertainment, and into suburbs where they partook in other hobbies. At the same time, the television was invented and popularized, which added competition to the movie industry. Compare this to the 80s-90s, when Hollywood was having a boom with major blockbusters, and VHS made it so that people at home could watch their favorite movies again and again. The younger generations also saw the rise of streaming services, where companies heavily leaned into nostalgia for advertising. Subscribe to Netflix and you can watch all your favorite movies from your childhood!

For what it's worth my boomer parents are both somewhat film buffs, especially my mom, and they showed me a lot of classics and interesting older films. I don't think they are typical examples of the generation though.

They have homes while citizens like myself are homeless.

They have jobs while citizens like myself are jobless.

They have the political power to win in elections to where the party all the citizens hate gets relected.

They have cultural influence such that criticizing our immigration policies is attacked.

Canada, the uk, and australia are cooked because of immigrants who took all the homes, took all the jobs, and mafe it so that we will never be able to vote our way back to a nation that isnt collapsing.

I'm 29 and after
5 years of addiction I'm gonna run out of Xanax that I take 30mg per day. Withdrawal symptoms include: grand mal seizures, psychosis, heart attack, stroke, inability to sleep, extreme anxiety, etc.
Is it best to lie your neck on the tracks, jump in front, stand, sit, lie all the way through instead of just leaving your head on. Use a faster in person train or freight train type? I won't do it at a station that's where trains stop. I know a spot near my house it's completely open free access to train tracks. Last one leaves at 11PM.

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.

You can do it as many times as you want, whenever you want. People hear it no matter what - be they deaf, sleeping, even if they have their head up their ass.
What would you broadcast?
