* a real thingy circa 1959

How would you define "doing something" with your day? Doing something productive? In that case, those NEETs online do about as much a day as you do, since they're mostly just consuming content. You could say that taking long walks is more productive since you're at least being healthy, but I think that would be a stretch.

The thread got derailed. Everything is being automated with employees and middlemen getting replaced by AI. So, is Y obsolete?

Yes, this is the point where it got derailed.

> I just realized that anti-AI sentiment can be used as justification to remove free and open source assets from public hosting. There is a group of liberal leaning scholars, artists, hoarders etc who believe in uploading their work and resources on the internet for free. So things like historical documents, nature footage, technical manuals for example are made freely available because their uploaders believe it helps advance scholarship and culture. These resources are then, as we know, are used for AI learning. Guess where the biggest blowback against AI comes from? The liberal left that believes in making things free. Welcome to the new internet where everything is paywalled or private. I wouldn't be surprised if the government and silicon valley is fueling both pro and anti AI discourses online. We are going to get the worst of both worlds.

I honestly think that the internet has been a net negative once you account for the shredded dysgenic fertility and amassed amount of effort and time wasted on trivial pursuits.

Ahahah, you're not alone!
The Internet is compared to the washing machine (there is a video on YouTube about it):


Washing machine: saves hours of life daily, no need to use washing board for hours. It's easy to use, almost "just push play" easy to use.

The Internet: Sure, saves lotsa time here, yet it also siphons, "vampires" a lot of time with notifications, updates, etc.


AND THE WINNER IS: WASHING MACHINE
(a century-old invention, mind you)

And don't get me started how freezers save our time also.

>I honestly think that if computers never developed beyond a CLI, and GUI were restricted from being developed, the world would've been a lot better. You'd still have production gains in industry from better organization, but you wouldn't have had any of the deleterious effects from the internet.



And then, saome 1337 h4><><0rz developed GUI-like contraptions out of ASCII art. Woudn't work.

>The internet undermines dictatorships as people just want to be doomscrolling and on their gooncave. Even fucking China has this problem of people becoming slaves to gacha games and internet gossip. They simply cannot make them give it up and have 3+ kids each for the good of the motherland anymore, even North Korea is struggling on that front.

Urbanization is known to ruin fertility, AFAIK

4chan used to be great, but only because of what the community made of it. Moot has always struck me as a massive cuck, easily swayed by the opinions of others, and his successors take on after him.

>>322369
Technically the current owner of 4chan, Hiroyuki Nishimura, did it for much longer than Moot, he made the original japanese 2ch, sold user info to japanese government, got into scandal over it and eventually lost ownership over his own creation, IIRC.

Then he bought 4chan and obviously doing the same thing with it now. So Moot is more of a failed successor to Hiro.

>>322370
I don't know much about gookmoot other than the aforementioned and that he truly does not give a fuck about 4chan except for the attempts to squeeze money out of it.

I genuinely wonder what has happened to moot. They obviously wanted him to replicate 4chan's popularity and memetic potential at google which I guess what google+ was.

>>322371
It's honestly a bit strange, I've heard people say he's been doing well in the past, but it was in like 2020, I think. Wikipedia just says that after the 4chan deal Poole joined startup program at google, then was moved to working on google maps later on and finally left google 2021, so that's like four years with no info on what he's been doing, or no public projects under his name, at least, every article just says "he's been keeping low profile since then".

To summarise the design of the site, I'll drop a hint: t3h 51^/^3 ////45 %ULL 0% 5um fun/\/9 5(12i88135

"zOMG t3h 1337!" - I thought, widening my eyes. I spent no time realizing the site is enforcing old good leet speak for the extra privacy.

Despite looking like a basic forum with plain gray-ish background, the site looked both awfully edgy with all that leet-speak… and overengineered, with all those funny scripted effects where the <marquee> moving line of text was the least unusual. Random pixels would subtly change colors here or there. It was almost like the site was aired to my computer through a TeamViewer-like app, rather than opened as a tab on my machine. Or, maybe, it WAS aired on purpose. It was hard to tell. Hard to tell whether the site intended to look like XX century aired television with all the color bleeds and chromatic abberations or rather, there was some kind of purpose, such as an attempt to overload the system with junk information, that is.

I looked at the cassowary and nodded with a smile, compressing my feelings like "Oh yeah! J00! It's just like the g00d 01d tymes! k3w1!" and mundane "I'm in".

There was a funny decoration in the background also: a realistc 3d cylinder turning into funny face and uncreasing back to a cylinder back and forth.

My knowledge of computer systems was hinting me to trust this gibberishful design. You could feel it's an attempt to overflow any possible sniffer with hard to process information. Maybe there was a funny "zip" trick cycling somewhere as well to surprise a more advanced system?

- "A site for (/_/17U23|) h4><><orz doesn't need "rules", - I thought.
- "My old "rebel without cause" self was telling me to avoid checking the clearly visible "ru13s" button of the site. In modern terms, a button for rules of the site could have been a honeypot."

To my surprise, I suddenly heard my own voice going all boomer: "Back in my days, "rulez" had a very different meaning".

"How far back are you talking about here?" chirped the cassowary.

I felt a lump in my throat form—coagulated from pure nostalgia—and replied "Too long, man… too long."

"Well, I don't exactly know what you are referring to by 'rulez', but check them out, they'll be useful for you."

"I think I prefer to do things my own way." Wow, I can't believe I said that. I could notice the intensity of my heartbeats increasing, but not following rules rulez.

"Look, I was assigned to guide you, but I'm not some babysitter. Tell me when you give up."

Fucking bird brain. You think I can't crack this site? I'll have you know I've…umm…well, I've made a few scripts and designed my myspa—wait, why the hell was I chosen for this?

I defiantly chose not to reply and continued frantically rushing through pages and trying to interact with every element. As my desperation began to grow, that toilet roll's presence began to irritate me. Just the same animation again and again, making that stupid face, at the exact same pace. Hold on. That time it took a bit longer. It isn't a basic loop, the two states mean something deeper—1s and 0s! It can't just be 10101.. though, maybe the length determines the length of how many times a binary digit will repeat before it alternates.

I opened up a spreadsheet, a Wikipedia page for ASCII representation and started to track the times.

I chuckled. OP should get a vacation but he is at least somewhat funny.

Managing a small warehouse (where you do all the work AND the paperwork) is great if you are a "shut-in" in terms of job focis, not your whole personality.

I have one friend who works online as a software tester of some sort, I think? His job is to simply check software for bugs and report em, which sounds pretty alright. Pay is surprisingly quite high, like 5 of my dead end job paychecks, but dude got the job through personal connections, mostly by being a honest to god, natural born social butterfly. Also, I heard some people are getting replaced by AI anyway in this kind of industry, so I'm not sure if it'll be easy to get into field right now.

>>319940
I don't think you just got laid. Enjoy your hand.

Slav squat here

I sit in my chair like this sometimes, or if I'm somewhere outside my room and there is no chair around and I need a rest.
But it's not really for any reason other than it's comfortable.

>>322210
sure I do that as well but the point is your butt doesn't have to touch the surface so it's not really an asian squat

I do this with 310lbs on my shoulders, then I stand up with that weight and go up and down between squatting and standing like that until my legs are tired, then I reduce the weight and keep going. It's an extremely wizarldy exercise because succubi can't get to my penis when it's so low to the ground and if they try to steal my manner when I'm in the standing phase I can just drop the weight on them and they die every time.

Okay, it's getting easier to do and I throw some actual squats after it. Today I'll do a hundred squats after holding the asian squat position for at least 5-7 min in sets of 5-7

Feeling proud of my progress.

Be your best.

Nothing helped me as much as nothing helped me better than meditation, twice a day at the evening and morning for at least 10 minutes, i regulared my nervous system and i have better control over my emotions now, i really enjoy it, it's like a hobby/escapism to me.

>>322339
How do you get into meditation? I've always wanted to give meditation a go but put it off for years because of my shitty attention span.

national socialism has always been more edgy, but op is probably brown so it would more funny than anything else he’s going for
anyway, liberals already tell us that if we’re not woke then we’re nazis, so maybe we should play along

> using grocery bags instead of a backpack for my books\notebooks\pens and pencils

Like just imagine OP walking to class with all his books in his grocery bags like he's going shopping for fruit. no one else does that! everyone else has backpacks. but he's not ashamed to be poor or in poverty. like all the normies are competing about whose richer. and here's wiz using a grocery bag for his books.

and then he has a plastic lunch box of lunchables even though he is in college! a deliberate mish-mash of badly-done food to show off how poor he is to all those snobby preppies

This is super interesting to me. What's the motive and grand scheme of the larp? And what's the crossover here with crowley? Anyway, here's my ideas:
>Find people's social medias and online groups you're not meant to be in (like for clubs) and reply to lighthearted things with obtuse, insane/apocalyptic (look into j posadas), or reasonable but from genocide perpetrators copy-pasted passages about how they're wrong and don't ever type yourself.
>Hand write communist passages and occult sigils all over your clothes like a schizophrenic.
>Take photos of people from far away enough that they're suspicious, but not sure, that they're the subject.
>Listen to khmer rouge music without headphones. Vid related except for first song. They would play these songs over loudspeakers in the killing fields to drown out screams.

>>321850
This.

The most rebel thing you could do is just be yourself and express your thoughts in an unfiltered manner. OP is just attention whoring.

>just competitive teams

I haet this, literally, state-funded competition (educational? and you cannot tell why all the competition? Eeeeeeesh if you can't tell you're bullshitting me)


And besides.

I haet how oblivious grownups are to the idea not all kids want to parttake in competitions. For various reasons, mind you! For VARIOUS reasons. This kid avoids competition because he has enough competition at home. For attention. For food. For basic stories from his mommy since there is no grandpa to ask how things were done back in his day. Slapping a "haha, snotling! weakling!" label on me was quite an attempt to try and give me a psychosis.

There were next to none "clubs" for kids back in my days.

Besides, my mother was obcessedd with "not "losing face" so she wasn't keen on financing whatever club there was among the few present in our tiny town.

>>322322
shit.

I neither had rural "cows, goats, wheat, that's you club" nor big-city reenactment/fencing/tennis/eating contests/clubgoing nor suburban outdoors stuff like treeplanting/archery

they have never ever paid for swimming pool

they wouldnt even let me cook

eeeeeeeesh

no wonder my brother is a fucked up in heda debile

OH FUG

I can just buy a gym memebership.

At my high school attending clubs was mandatory, so I was part of one, but I think if we were given the option of going home early instead of joining a club, I would've just chosen to go home early.
The clubs were run by teachers so we never really had interesting stuff like an anime club (except in my first year when we had a movie club, that was pretty fun) or anything like that, it was usually things like a homework club or sports. They were all fine though, basically just regular classes except the teachers were a little more lax about talking in class and whatnot.
