The same applies to literally every piece of fiction ever made, from books to movies, to video games.

I sold 10% of my silver at $86 and I keep obsessing over this small transaction like it's going to have disastrous long-term consequences from which I will never recover.

Ended up installing a cracked version as it started asking for premium after setting 10 images per day limit. Worth buying if someone can afford.

I've seen a torrent recently of all 5-star matches according to Dave Meltzer. Though not all of his favourite matches I get. John Cena SummerSlam 2025 match was definitely 5 stars.

NXT DEADL1NE (first ever men's match) got 4.75. It should've got more. Unfortunately, other DEADL1NE matches never reached height of the first one.

>>322764
Saw it on SoulSeek. Not a torrent.

The 4cuck jannies hate me so much I am 100% shadowbanned.

I've been watching some random stuff here and there, getting familiar with it. John Cena is such a milquetoast good guy. He's athletic sure, but when he's on the mic it's a bore. What's your opinion on the differences between WWE and AEW?

>>322772
WWE wrestling is slower and worse, yet AEW have non-stop flips and action which make it extremely hard to immerse due to being unrealistic within its own reality. Almost nobody is selling shit in both promotions. If characters in shōnens ran about without proper breaks, it would also be shit.

>>322779
Thanks. The reason I ask is because every time a YT comment brings this stuff up it becomes a shitstorm between the two sides, but I think it's like you said. WWE is slower and AEW is eager to get into the nitty-gritty. Since I'm just starting to watch this stuff, I'm finding AEW slightly more helpful. Since there's more fighting on the event, I get to see a lot more moves in quick succession, and it helps to see lots of powerbombs and piledrivers, whips and headlocks and all that stuff. WWE does feel like a more polished spectacle, but since I still don't know anybody, it's harder to appreciate it.

I have to play this stupid IRL bullshit videogame tomorrow. The objective is to disassemble my bed, get everything off of my desk, clean the carpets, lay an area rug down under the desk, and then assemble a new bed. It's going to suck, no anime watching until it is done because I'll have naught a PC to watch on nor a bed to lay on.

>>322842
I hate anything that has to do with rearranging furniture for the same reason.

Use your phone then. Go put a video in the background or something.

At times I really feel like having an online community I can check on and get my share of social interaction. I've used wizchan for that for a fair number of years but for a good while now this place has slowed to a crawl, despite the anti-crawl. The other issue most of the posts are on /dep/, which is fine in itself, but I don't want to wallow in misery, not my own or other people misery, so I at large ignore that board altogether.

Welp, recently I began actively looking for some communities online I could take part on and soon found out "general purpose" communities are pretty much dead. The quality of them is pretty low, so I ended up focusing in a particular franchise I'm really fond of. Found a community about it outside modern social media circles and so far has been pretty OK. It's nice to be able to check in a place again like I used to do with Wizchan. Sure, it's mostly about one particular thing, not the chaos of a general purpose community, but it's better than nothing.

>>322885
Life is misery, I feel at home on /dep/, other social networks are dominated by toxic positivity

>>322885
Talk about whatever

>>322886
The normies on social media are fucking lying to each other

>>322885
General purpose communities are all baits and shills now. Even broad interest communities like video games is full of culture war shit. I wish I have a cool interests so I can join a community of cool people. Well the last time I found a community that looks cool the mods banned me though. It does make sense that in order to have a good community you gotta gatekeep hard though that often gets overdone to having a very restrictive community where no difference of opinion is allowed.

>>322897
>The normies on social media are fucking lying to each other
I agree but what hurts the most is the lack of rational thought these beings have, you cannot criticize life without being targeted as a pessimist/mentally ill/deranged person, pro-suicide thoughts are straight up banned or censored

Not sure if this is the right thread because it's porn related, but jesus christ, the combination of porn and social media has basically broken people's brains.

CamScanner — empty gaps between letter elements. Vflat — no such thing but the letter elements can get merged making a figure that's not a letter. OCR would make a different look. In the end, it's either: 1) compression leads to noise around the text; 2) Microsoft Paint fucks up tifs so that they don't open no more and can't be changed to other format neither manually nor online (happened after I somehow managed to edit 4 MB tif received from ScanTailor); 3) no compression — more than 50 MB for a 403-paged book; 4) using CamScanner means editing manually due to no autofocus with edits being visible when it's pdf, or 5) 300 dpi setting leads to shitty quality.

Huge weight, shitty quality, no opportunity to open the file. Having a scanner may be an exit, mine is dead. Polarization through GIMP using BIMP leads to bad shape of signs, binarization through BookRestorer has more black dots and stuff to edit. Asking my mother to grab the books could lead to her being fired even though everybody does that, but in this case it would mean piracy scandal (negligence about family member's piracy). I don't remember if results after BookRestorer were of bad quality or huge weight conundrum. I did it before with the same result. Should've mote it down as a reminder not to waste my time. Adobe Scans — same shit, geometrical straightening is needed afterwards unlike with CamScanner and Vflat. The latter is the best but for personal use, just like all of them.

>>323115
Using GIMP to edit instead of Paint still leads to noise after compression or big weight. I tried putting polarized photos from CamScanner and it was not much noise and good compression and I could use GIMP to edit. However, the edits were of shitty quality due to CamScanner being worse and me making visible manual edits. Also that would take much time. Why did it previously worked fine with CamScanner, then polarization, then binarization through ScanTailor, then pdf, then further compression is a mystery to me. Perhaps the resolution ended being higher. I'm sure I tried the same with vflat using GIMP instead as Paint was impossible (uploading tif would show error). To no avail, either big size or shitty quality. Now that I think about it, I might've been just lucky with the files I had checked as tifs. Hence why all of them worked without an error. Another coincidence is that it's the same as the last time: I edit big file with freezes on my old laptop in MS Paint, next time uploading tifs shows error. Different things were done about it. Resizing jpgs in GIMP would turn them grey, compressing a would give them white stripes. To the extent that I found necessary to resize and compress.

Vflat has Deblur that is a pid feature. The letters slightly got some white gaps in between them. But I have 403 pages and that's just one book out of 10-15 (children's encyclopedias). Even if I get a cracked version that maybe would work, it uses AI which is bad for ecology especially with the images. It took long for one image too. And the quality/size aspect would be the same problem. 600 dpi output was better than 300 dpi. For some reason, I notice it with vflat but not with CamScanner polarized photos. Perhaps due to initial resolution being bigger.

>>323116
*paid. I could do the same thing to vflat to have almost the same thing as with polarized photos to have a bigger resolution. I did that and the quality of lettering was worse than in vflat images before polarization. It wasn't sharp, it was "torn". Whether I did pdf creation and compression, I don't remember. But the results were bad. I thought about making 75% as default (later 50,3%) after opening, but it was very bad and very visible. On the side note, I installed something from Microsoft official site on my pirated Windows 7 and it didn't crash (unlike when I updated pirated Windows XP from SP2 to SP3). It was necessary to run ScanTailor which means previously I used an earlier version of it. Today, on this final decision day, after God knows how many years, Acrobat Reader updated itself successfully on my laptop. Hurrah! After all it's failures throughout the years.

Wow doomscrolling while doing tedious brainless repetitive makes it 100x better. They should allow assembly line workers to browse tiktok while working for ethical purpose.

I usually just let some livestream run in the background. It can sometimes be distracting, but there are lots of things I wouldn't have had the patience to finish if it wasn't for that.

So sheltered and stupid I walked into a seafood restaurant, saw the price for each fish listed per 100 grams, and thought they'll serve me exactly 100 grams. Had to pay five times more than I anticipated when my order came out.

>>323174
Did you try to pretend like you weren't surprised by the price?
Sometimes I get myself into stupid situations like this and I try to play it cool. But it's probably obvious to the onlookers that I have no idea what I'm doing.

>>323215
I gave myself the biggest real life facepalm I've ever done in my life when the order came out but I don't think anybody saw.

Determinism vs free will arguments here are really just arguments about how much control you have over life. The actual metaphysical idea of predetermined vs spontaneous events doesn't really contradict human decision-making or effort. People here just call failing to align reality with their desire determinism and succeeding free will. It's a veil for the class struggles between wizlosers and wizchads.

b*tch…

>>323220
>The actual metaphysical idea of predetermined vs spontaneous events doesn't really contradict human decision-making or effort
Humans are not some special woo-woo, we're made of the same matter that composes the universe. Therefore if the universe is deterministic all our choices are pre-determined.
Consciousness is an artifact of the brain that develops reality from neural inputs and our choices are neural outputs processed by this machine.
The idea that we somehow get to decide our choices in some magical way is completely wrong.

>>323220
It is all just a movie for God.

ghosted everyone again

>>323267
Now haunt them through a sockpuppet account

just sort of chilling as the ai apocalypse draws nearer

>>323269
no

do you guys eat fish bones when eating fish? I am scared it will hurt my intestine

>>323329
no, you fucking retard.

>>323330
I ate minced fish and there were bones parts in it I have no way to filter it so I swallowed it all, AI says they are edible

>>323331
yeah, it's probably fine. just don't move around too much. hopefully the fishy bone doesn't poke your hemmorhoid on the way out lol

>>323332
you're a funny whiz kid

>>323333
it's not funny, you stupid fuck. you swallowed a foreign object. you are going to fucking DIE. go to the emergency room right now lmfao

>>323331
It's fine if they're really small. If it's small enough to be swallowed without feeling anything out of the ordinary then it's obviously safe.

>>323334
Cooked fish is food, not a foreign object. Fish bones are soft like cartilage and dissolve in human bile. Even moreso for small fish rib bones that have been cooked and mulched. Entire fish skulls with teethy jaws can be eaten by humans. You are fail.

>>323343
Cooked fish is food,

neither fish nor anything cooked can be considered food for a human. yeah eat it when there is nothing else in an emergency but when there isn't an emergency, look into it a little harder big boi.

oh god damn the captures here are awful, please look at how endchan uses captures.

4chan just flatlined

>>323375
I don't use that site, what caused it?

>>323377
It is being DDoS'd so they imposed rate limits and a fallback captcha. For people with a castrated attention span, this means that 4channal is LITERALLY dead. They're now flooding other imageboards to make threads and posts about how 4chan is dead.

>men who have decided that sex isn't a priority).

Actually, it's not that I woke up one day decided sex is not a priority. I was honestly just hoping to find love first, and i simply never could.

I just kept hoping that I will find the kind of succubus who was also be a virgin like me, had visual attraction but had some depth. I kept waiting from age of 16 and before I knew I was 30.

I tried many times but it was all so bad. E dating and what not. When i started turning 20 e dating started feeling wrong too so i stopped at well, with close to no success. The real life was grim as well, of not worse.

Some succubi infact only strictly want sex, and i would think, if I slept with her, my future wife would be heart broken. Just like that I turned 30 one day. Just like that, all of my hopes and my patients led to no where. In the end, it was my choice and no one else's. However I can't see the meaning of love anymore the way I could back then. If it is not exclusive what is it.

I still feel like I don't really regret any of it honestly. I won't wish to pursue females if i was given second chance either. However if a succubus that I could love, did truly exist, one who would love me back the same, I would wish I could relive this life and do a better job finding her.

>>323378
If it's just a DDoS, it should be back in a matter of weeks if not a day or two. The site itself must be still good to go. It shall return again, I suppose.
