Okay, when you look at this question, it seems very easy, what makes a succubus is her clothes, her personality and even the who between her legs. Same thing with a man. But when you stop to think a little deeper, beyond these superficial things, exclude the idea of clothes, hair, makeup and biological sex. Think a little deeper, beyond that, what makes you think that person is x or y.

Dude, I think I tripped.

But even though I asked that, that's not the main question, the main question is the idea that what makes you think that person is x, and that another is y. We don't even know her, what makes us admit this?

Just checked Google results and the words I put with "" don't show one doxxing site results. Although an earlier one appeared. I checked my Gmail and I got mail from Google support that my reports were received and they deleted two links from Google search.

If you see doxxing info on somebody even if it's not yourself, fill a report with details (three dots on in Google search near the result, I had to switch to desktop version to see send button). Also in addition send a special form which you can find online from Google. Even though it asked if I was a victim themselves, lawyer or a parent, I put "Person who knows them as a public person", added two links and a search term I used (in my case with ""), screenshots.

Can someone explain to me how people are fine with the state of internet discourse? Like 90% of the comments are just thrown out there with no conversation. It's such a depressing lonely experience and I would say it makes me feel like I'm not talking to people but nowadays AI chatbots actually give you elborate thoughtful replies and it's the people that sound like bots of yesterday. When I write something I want to get feedback so I can learn. But most posts, not just mine, get ignored or short replies devoid of information with no elaboration when asked. I don't get what enjoyment people get from shitposts like that.

Attention span has decreased. It is pretty bad, I would say. The popularity of shorter-form messaging is exactly responsible for this drop. Also, yes, there are many AI chat-bots but I don't think anywhere even close to what propagandists would like you to believe. Dead Internet Theory, for instance, is complete propaganda meant to further isolate and madden (perhaps something you're feeling now??).

"I don't get what enjoyment people get from shitposts like that."

The greater bulk of humanity is mean-hearted and dumb. Looking for sympathetic responses in a crowd of anonymous internet users must be reckoned the selfsame thing as begging for money at 1700 in a crowded train station. Cruelty is delight to most.

But I found it on BTDigg (download took about a week and I choose every torrent then uncheccin unnecessary content in torrent tracker for it not to be downloaded) with Chinese subs which PotPlayer translated perfectly except for names. But I heard them by ear without problems. Then I made screenshots if there were doubts of new added content or differences then looked thru SauceNAO if there were no coincidences with the original episodes. And the fact that only Chinese subs existed was gathered on AniDB (sign-up needed to view hentai entries). Then I added it to my MAL as AniDB has recap with the general OVA and not as a separate entry

Something odd has been happening to me. For about a week now I have this guy constantly sending me messages on Wikipedia with a bunch of Near-IR, grainy pictures of galaxies and telling me how awesome it would be if I wrote an article about them. I'm an active contributor to articles related to astronomy and that's how he found me. Every single galaxy he told me about fails the notability test and I can never find any papers on any of them. They're just a random few from the literal millions being mechanically catalogued on NED with basic coordinates and a photometry graph. So I just thank him for the message and tell him it fails the notability test.

I finally decided to check his account and his talk page is littered with over a 1000(!) rejected articles he tried to make and hundreds of others with a proposed deletion notice. His account is banned from making new articles and he can only edit existing ones. For the past year this guy is on a crusade to recruit other people to make articles for him. Judging by the sheer amount of rejected content and correspondence he accumulated in the past few months I believe he's working full time on this enterprise. I checked some of his articles that managed to get online on the main page and they're barely stubs. Just a picture, coordinates from NED and a single line like UGC so and so is a Seyfert galaxy. For some bizarre reason he's bent on writing an article for every single galaxy out there. We can directly observe 100 to 200 billions of them with current technology. This number is likely to increase in the future.

It's not. It's a type of autism. It's actually flabbergasting how many people even on this imageboard refuse to recognize autistic behavior as such.

Probably because there's a stigma to the diagnosis, and so many wizards actually fall under the spectrum but refuse to admit it (especially if they don't *look* like stereotypical autists).
I've noticed a pattern where very obviously neurodivergent wizards try to mask as 'normies' even in an anonymous environment. Proving how internalized their autism-hatred is.

materialism is literally gay. from the materialist perspective, "you are your body", and whatever mind or consciousness may be is created by it or a part of it (the brain, they usually say).

if a guy's body were to be changed completely into that of a succubus like in genderbender hentai (see, for instance, 316378 and 345174), or manga like onimai, then from the materialist perspective it wouldn't be gay to be attracted to them because that's all that there is to being a succubus, so it would be no different to being attracted to any other regular succubus.

let's now consider a guy who says that he's straight but that if he were to be genderbent into a loli like in the aforementioned works, he'd let all his lolicon friends fuck him through every hole, not because he'd like it, but as a generous favor. all sensible people can recognize that everyone involved in such a scenerio is gay (and i hope that there's still not too many here who'd disagree with that, since i remember this place being full of faggots some years ago).

basically, materialism also functions as a metaphysical cope for faggots to defend their faggotry, but a truwiz would not fall for it.

Pinched nerve in my ankle hurts any time I try to walk on it.
Same ankle that I sprained a few months back.

Been trying to work my ankle to get the nerve to release but nothing is working. I will probably load up on a double dose of anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen) and ice it to see if that works.
I suspect it's because I put off swapping out my worn out shoes and it caught up to me.

There have been times in the history of the site where post per a day slowed to a crawl.
The anti-crawl general was created as a low stakes low stress area for post not really worthy of a full thread discussion to encourage a bit more activity and act as a filter for people lowering the over all quality of the site by making full threads for minor shower thoughts.

>stop cooming. fapping by itself is fine tho.
I try to, anon, I really do, but sometimes it just happens. Other times I can go weeks without doing it. I'm convinced fapping by itself or not is bad under all circumstances, you really lose essential nutrients.

>>314642
Yep, the taste was better than expected (they were smoked), remained in my mouth the whole day.

>cautious of those packed in hot-pressed seed oils!

Sadly my dad does the grocery shopping and the cheap stuff in cottonseed oil is all I can get. I drained them, of course. I don't feel the taste goes along well with ramen though, I normally add tuna to mine.

never actually done the "gooning thing". seems like too much time and effort, and i also fear getting too close to the edge. only benefit i see is that if you master it you have another tool in the box of voluntary altered states of awareness. it's also much older than zoomers, there was a thelema ritual that was basically that.

>>314653
well, regardless of your specific goal, you shouldn't give up on it. it took me many years of constant failing to finally get hang of quitting senselessly depleting my mana for good. however, i don't see how just fapping by itself would deplete mana, if anything, it seems to amplify it. but i'm not an expert on the theoretical aspect of it, so i only speak from my experience of trying both.

More specifically, these crawl moments happened every weekend. Back when the site was faster (about 100 mainboard posts per day) the sudden decline to 1-2 per hour was very noticeable, and dubbed the Weekend Crawl. It was assumed that the Weekend Crawl was a result of wizards going out to bars or parties during those days, so the admins made doing so illegal in hopes of increasing postrates. Whistelblowers unearthed intel reports from the oval tower that exposed the truth: the site slowed on the Weekend because the Wageslave wizards were too tired to post, and the NEET wizards would rather sleep than be online while their parents and siblings were home for those days.

just your usual tourist things, went to shrines, landmarks and observation decks. as a millennial japan had that "future of the world" vibe to it but going there and you realize that's been out of date for a while. and the notion that it's a nerd mecca is only kind of true.

Today's marks the first time I saw bullet barrage flashes in the sky in my window in these [redacted] years.

Looks like archive.org still stores uploader's email in XML files. Searched my email and it showed all the files I had uploaded. Time to create another account. It's unlikely that copyright holders would force protonmail to snitch on me. I used VPN and later Tor but I've used neither to register on some other mail service that I've put as backup mail to proton after failing to see it wasn't obligatory, hence why I removed it. They ask proton, they give that mail, they ask that mail provider and I'm fucked then. I could create another proton mail but Tor doesn't register and free VPN providers can snitch too.

just looked up loli harem on google for a quick pic, then went to images, and it said there were no results. we approach 1984 by the day. that’s what normalfags are turning the world into just because they don’t like lolis (they hate everything pretty and feminine, and that inspires and warms the masculine heart, pulling it onward beyond the base material world). i hate furry shit so much, but you don’t see me turning the world into a fucking dystopia because of it.

It's more like it stopped progressing at some point tech-wise to the point where the rest of the world has caught up with Japan and gone past it.

I need to start using cooler water in the shower. At least towards the end.

I was sweating a lot after showering and I thought it was just because I'm a fatass. However for the past few months I've been working out and losing a decent amount of weight and the problem is still happening. So I looked it up and it turns out to be pretty common because if you use super hot water, your body starts sweating after getting out of the shower to cool your body down. It should be obvious but yeah.

So from now on I'm going to make sure my body is decently cold before getting out of the shower.

I forgot to add though, it's probably quite easy to lose yourself in your own otaku world if you can mentally blockout normalfags in Japan. There is so much in the way of anime, manga, figurines, puzzles, gunpla, games, etc and a solid second hand market for these things. Almost unbelievable since all our second hand markets got destroyed by ebay and every normalfag thinking their garbage is worth 1000s.

Old Opera for Windows 7, non-updated. Installed Waterfox instead, no language except for a few despite a claim of having more than 90 languages in the welcome info.

Doesn't freeze opened MPC-HC with a 2 GB MP4 video on and doesn't freeze itself. Opera extensions were scarce, Chrome shop was for newer versions and old version of Chrome shop was hard to navigate to add the extension (although I managed to do it somehow in the past once).

Downloaded addon from the Firefox add-ons site. Now I can archive/check in archive.org and archive.today with one click. Archive.org opened badly on old Opera showing no connection. Archived Google Drive pdfs only scrolled to the third page. No problems with Waterfox. Although on Google Chrome for Android, I could add out 4 links in different windows and it only sporadically said I was over my limit for Save now function at the same time. Now even 2 windows and it shows about the limit. Batch Google Sheets option from archive.org itself took days in the queue and still after about three days I found that some links indeed got saved, but it was like 10 from 100. And only letter about the operation start was received, no letter about its end and then it disappeared from the status page.

Manually on Chrome for Android I had to change numbers of the telegram posts while looking at the laptop screen which didn't stop shinning without me having to use split screen or go from one app to another on the tablet. Only one freeze in about 4 hours vs countless on old browser. And Waterfox is updated for Windows 7. Although one of their support pages doesn't work. Had to uncheck some parameter for hyperlinks in the word document to be able to ctrl+mouse click to open it. At least I save time by clicking a few at the time vs pitting it manually, again the time would be lost on waiting for 1 of 2 links vs 2-3 of 4 links.

"Coffee can cause bowel movements because it contains acids that increase the hormone gastrin," says Andrew Boxer, M.D., a gastroenterologist based in New Jersey. "Gastrin causes involuntary muscle contractions in the stomach (peristalsis), which can get the bowels moving."


Apparently even decaff coffee causes people to poop.
Also holy shit are search results polluted with articles copying each other and tons of AI slop.
