I was rereading the original run of The Avengers to keep boredom at bay, and yet again I'm impressed by John Buscema's artwork. I checked his wiki page and there's this passage in there:
"Buscema's passion for drawing was such that he continued to draw and sketch in his spare time, often on the back of comic book art pages, and these images form a considerable body of work in their own right. His brother Sal Buscema recalled,

This guy used to eat, sleep and breathe drawing. It didn't matter what was going on around him. He would get bored with it and start sketching. … He just couldn't stop drawing. [His back-of-board sketches were] better than some of the stuff that he did on the front. … He'd get a spark of inspiration and turn the page over and draw whatever was in his skull"

How nice it must be to have such passion and drive for something.

>>323907
It wouldn't surprise me if most of the well-known Golden Age comic book artists were like that.

>>323908
I think even a lot of current artists are like that as well but current artwork feels so sanitized and toothless. This is Dan Mora's style, one of the guys everybody likes now. It's cute but there's just no grit at all. It's too lightweight, can't quite explain. It also appropriates too much of manga, which doesn't suit cape stuff well. This is all a matter of taste of course, but I'll always like the old guard better.

>>323907
Sound more like self-imposed slavery than a passion, at this point.

What can you wizzies tell me about bread? Is it bad for you? What about pasta made with brown rice flour? Tell me your opinion of flour.

>>323953
Don't take the breadpill. I used to be a wheatmaxxed flourchad until I found out what it does to your body (YOUR body, not mine because I'm indestructible). It makes you tired, it makes you sleepy, and it even makes you want to doze off. Don't believe me? Every single time you've eaten bread in your life, you felt the need to sleep within 18 hours afterwards. Baguettes online will try to tell you that the crust is the healthiest part of sandwich but that's moot considering the entire slice is made from a plant that literally grows out of dirt fertilized with animal shit. If humans were meant to eat bread we would have windmills for hands. Bread dries up in the sun, so just imagine what it does inside of you. It needs yeast in order to even become palatable and we all know where yeast comes from. It needs to be cooked in a toaster at 200 degrees before it's safe to spread peanut butter on. Ducks, literal bottom feeders, go nuts for bread. People who are drugged up are referred to as "baked" because eating bread has the same effect.

I'm gonna create an EOTW thread for this but holy shit, this video was recommended by the algorithm with the title "Parasites are eating your hobbies alive". Created in 2026.

I don't know if the creator is a millennial or older, or if he's a zoomer who's just realised something we've know since AT LEAST 2014 if not earlier but Goddamn, this is realising you've got cancer after it's reached a terminal stage.

I haven't even watched the video.

>>323954
>breadpill. I used to be a wheatmaxxed flourchad
can you stop using normgroid words

>>323954
I stopped eating bread and pasta a year ago and some times I've tried coming back to have more food variety but I can't do it amymore because they're not real food and taste like nothing, you only notice when you've stopped eating that slop for some time. Spaghetti used to be my favorite food and last time I ate them some months ago I realized what I really liked was the carbonara sauce with the cheese and bacon, that's where the real food was.

I'll admit I still eat some junk food but at least that's tasty.

Why are you not making money on twitter/x?

>>323966
Poor social skills even online. My jokes and baits are shit.

>>323966
you need to pay for a premium subscription to be eligible for monetization. i do see a lot of randos get their tweets blessed by the algorithm and suddenly explode, but you have be a paypiggy to cash in. i guess that's good since it filters third-worlders, but also neeties like me without much disposable income.

>>323975
you don't need social skills, just interact with other people's tweets and give your honest takes. a lot of stuff that pops off is just opinions that people had on 4chan 5 years ago. there's also a lot of ragebait and annoying engagement hacks but the twitter algo is very interesting and you could organically get followers and views just by posting normally.

last time i got a haircut was in december 2024

>>324050
That's not a long time for a man.

>>324054
really?
the succubus cut it very short back then and now it's pretty long
well, probably medium short by succubi standards, but it still seems pretty long to me for a man, reaching my collarbones

do you also go very long without getting haircuts?

>>324050
Do you let it grow because you like it that way or you just don't like going to the hairdresser? When I was younger I let it grow for the latter reason and it was so uncomfortable, nowadays I just cut it myself so I get no BS and also save extra money. I also noticed other reclusive type of guys also let it grow so I assume they do it for similar reasons.

>>324057
i hate going to a hairdresser so i would just get it cut once a year or so
after it would get too long and annoying i'd ask for it to be as short as possible
i really disliked last time's interaction, so i'd much rather keep looking like a hobo than be forced to make small talk with a succ for 20-30 min
"oh, you're cutting all your hair? this next year will be full of new transformations for you!"
oh my fucking god
anyway, yeah, i'm planning to do like you and cut it myself

>>324058
nta but I'm also just buzz cutting it at this point. To be fair I've started doing it due to my receding hairline because I figured I was wasting money getting haircuts that never look all that good due to the missing hair. But even though I trim my hair twice a week it's still much cheaper and convenient than going to a barber. I also like how it feels and that I no longer have to entertain thoughts about whether my hair looks too unkempt to go outside on a particular day or not.

I am watching street walking videos for stimulation like those videos of birds and squirrels people show their cats.

The government gave me another $2,000 of the like $6,000 they said they would. I am going to buy Doritos, alcoholic soda, and a dakimakura cover

Animepahe downloader didn't have one title as it's not on Animepahe. Anikai.to is gone. Miruro has it, but download link for that particular title doesn't work. 1DM Lite downloaded it, but it didn't open. Could've tried to download in bigger resolution and see what if, instead installed Video DownloadHelper extension on Supermium. It downloaded 3 eps and then said there's a limit, wait for 2 hours or pay. VPN didn't help. So I installed the same extension on r3dfox. And it worked.

Get a rice cooker, the "smart" variant. And some cheap tupperware.

Rice and soy sauce taste awful and are really poor for the health. At least corn chips and vodka root bees taste good.

Made my second comment on Viber chat of one TV channel and the host read it aloud. Thought he'd say name and first letter of a surname like sometimes, though now I remember that it wasn't always a case. I used my father's second phone so his name was used. I knew that phone number, e-mail, full name and city won't be mentioned. YouTube creators responding and liking my comments, one literally mentally ill person posting blogs using a few phrases I added to Wikipedia (I think I even undid his edits), now this. Though the mentally ill man doesn't mention my nickname or surname, just the phrase in his hyoergraphia diarrhea of the same shit all over again.

The TV host botched some lines, though he recovered and agreed that compulsory exams in Maths constitutes a form of violence (it's not the only idea of my post, he read everything). I saw it twice on live stream on YouTube too and it's not a local channel. I hid that chat (my posts without talking to anyone, just replies on topic) by a password
For now, I won't remove it from the list of chats. New achievement unlocked. Not that life's worth living, but a nice bonus.

I could download from SoulSeek but files there had episode titles in the name. Now I know about spoilers to two series that way. They were in alphabetical order too (e.g., 1, 10, 11, 2, 3). Should be 01, … 10 or 001, … 010, … 100, etc. Depending on the number of episodes to avoid disorder that can also lead to potential spoilers.

I could've write to change it for other users there but they could respond with spoilers as an attack against me. Also the more anonymity without any repercussions, the worser the behaviour. In the end, I was proven right in another case there. I could've make a video to warn others in general about spoilers problem, but giving more attention would mean more popularity and then more troubles for P2Ps like how once a pirate streaming anime site gets too popular, it gets shut down. And other alternatives may have worse functionality or you have to waste more time to find what fits you. Let alone the fact that nobody would watch the video and I would waste time to figure out how to do it on the necessary level with artificial voice, video imagery, necessary tags. Certain gatekeeping may help in this fight for access to information.

Torrents for single episodes with hardsubs were dead. Torrents for the whole title were not with hardsubs. Some subs don't reduce in size after decreasing the frame, others are not visible in the screenshots despite all the settings changed in the player as needed, others have translated signs hanging in the air as in full screen despite the frame being decreased and moved up and to the left. Their location don't change and sometimes it's even hard to notice that it's actually exist. And for one dubbed series (historical exception, I watch mostly with subs), I found a substitute on one site, but the damage had already been done.

And some available torrents were too big in file size. My old laptop could have problems with playing it. Although that also depends on the content and codec. But then screenshots would also weigh much more. And I would have to use my 1 Tb external drive and that would be troublesome as my USB works for gadgets, mouse and keyboard, but not for transferring data through external drives. That would mean uploading files to the cloud, going to my father's PC, downloading it from the cloud and then adding it to the external drive, rather than putting it right into the external drive on my laptop as such would be impossible there. I tried to fix it, but it's not software issues. And my storage is constantly decreasing. Bigger screenshots would decrease it more. Free clouds are almost full and having it only there is irresponsible as data can be lost. Well, maybe lesser so on reliable sites like Google Drive, but it would require paying. And still if I'm hacked or someone took my device, the data could be lost. I could use applock but again — paying when NEET or other money difficulties where each coin is sacred. Using Telegram for storage — trusting as only source is not an option regardless of a platform. I already have things digitally, on the hard drive and some things burnt to CD's/DVD's. Doing extra steps is a lot of pain in the ass and/or finances that I don't have enough in case my laptop, tablet, more health breaks. Decreasing the amount of screenshots, videos, rar music archives is a step in the right direction and having files not too big and not small is a part of not making it harder. And some cloud services give free options with a stipulation that they would delete your files if you don't login in a set time period.

>found a substitute on one site, but the damage had already been done
I meant harm from spoilers. It's in the first paragraph and thus may be hard to understand when the third paragraph is about other things.

I wonder about the level of perviness of those people who back then used photoshop to do fakecum edits of female celebrities or who tried to get them naked with edits by cutting their heads and putting them in bodies that didn't even physically matched
I remember thinking it was weird even when I discovered hentai, like what could one possibly gain from uploading silly obvious edits
those motherfuckers must be in their 40s or 50s and seeing what AI can do they must feel like in the future but it must suck for them cause they don't have the testosterone to enjoy it

I wonder about the average age of the nsfw AI content "creators"

>>325191
>I wonder about the average age of the nsfw AI content "creators"
I've never considered it before, but I guess the accessibility of AI generation must make for a lot of underageb&s pumping out hardcore pron. Conventional hentai artists typically need to practice for years and develop a sense of the succubus figure before they can output fappable pr0nz. Kids these days can pose free anime succubus models in free Blender and import those renders in to free AI generator to get any sort of sick twisted ecchi handholding images their horny little imaginations can conjure.

There's a sense of domination to it. As a kid, the success of my boners were determined by the coordination of several adults… The Japanese hentai artist, the Japanese publisher and bookbinders, the Japanese pirate who scanned it in and uploaded it, and the Wapanese pirate who brought it over to a Western website… I felt like a crab at the bottom of the ocean feasting on the few crumbs of chum that manage to float down from the feasting killer whales above. Now with kids doing the generating, bots scraping their art to put on boorus, and my AdBlock blocking all the dumb shit I don't want to see… I feel as though I am the king, with a team of lowly peasant child slaves serving me juicy AI hentai while I sit on my throne. I am the killer whale afloat with my mouth agape while plump penguins are tossed down my gullet.

I switched to Yandex as a search because it's often touted as the last functional search engine. Turns out that about 19 out of 20 of my searches relate to either my local businesses or some variant of feral creature hentai, neither of which a Moscow-based site can help me with.

I had a really weird dream where I woke up and went to my pc and I noticed that it had windows xp installed

>>325191
>like what could one possibly gain from uploading silly obvious edits
It was obviously insane people, though less insane than the people who used to do it with magazine cutouts a decade or more earlier.

One thing I've realized as a millennial wizard is that as tech makes things either convenient or easier to access for normalfags, for some bizarre reason this short circuits their morality or their own sense of preference. Like take cyber-stalking/(online) people-watching for example, when it was still "difficult" for normies to do, it was considered the domain of creepy online weirdos losers, then sometime in the early 10s normalfags were cyberstalking (and made it easier for people to cyberstalk them) like it was the most normal thing to do, because it was retard-proofed around that time.

I remember when one of the normalfags I worked with at a supermarket more than a decade ago decided to look up the facebook profile of some succubus he was trying to get in the pants of without her knowledge. It probably sounds pedestrian now but that's just how far gone society is now.

you made me think of the fact that not only kids are creating illegal content themselves by doing sexting and whatever among them but there must be isolated introvert wiz type of guy who is goin thru puberty right now and will go to the social media profile of the classmate he's infatuated with or has a crush on but will never get to date or do anything with and in a moment of pure lust and horniness only possible thru sheer hormonal changes during puberty then use the many tools available to generate an edit of said classmate completely naked or doing sxual things

I know because I would probably be that kid. Also, I remember the threads on the big chan where guys asked for photoshop naked edits of succubi they knew. I bet those don't exist anymore lol

>>325291
>use the many tools available to generate an edit of said classmate completely naked or doing sxual things
Well they better not be holding out. If the tech was available, I'd have A.I nude filtered my loli classmates too when I was a kid. In fact, I'm tempted to do it now as an adult!

Kavinsky passed away and not a single one of you fags posted about it
He wrote about wizards in his most famous track that played in a literally me movie starring literally me actor, Drive

"There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you, boy
But you're still the same"


this is when there's a family gathering discussing your hiki shut in life situation and you're aware of it but you're still in your room shitposting on imageboards and watching anime

>>325335
Ackchyually ReaL WizardZ™ only listen to music with no vocals. Granted, a lot of his stuff is pure electronic but that song has a female singing. It's about normies for normies, mkay?

>>325335
You are falling for a cold reading trick. That line is so broadly applicable it can be about anybody.

>>325335
Wizards don't get talked about by anybody. Unless that song is about some dude's family talking among themselves about what to do with their estranged NEET son.

>>325335
pretty sure the chick who sings that means that everyone is talking about the fact that he's dead but he's still the same. the cover for that track is literally some dead-looking or ghost-like dude with red glowing eyes. he takes her out on a night drive with unknown, perhaps evil intentions :)

it's a nice track but it's not very wizardly, no matter how you spin it. i mean there's a succubi singing in it, that should've been your first clue!

>>325340
the context of that song is pretty simple, it's the waifu and tulpa of a shutin neet wizson who is telling him all that while he is in his computer, there's a family gathering discussing what to do about their wiz firstborn who's been unemployed for years, this discussion regarding the neet of the family is a common occurrence and she is just informing him of the fact
"there's something inside you, wiz. It's hard to explain
They're talking about you, boy. But you're still the same"

>>325342
please, don't try to distort the meaning of a wizard song

do north americans actually eat canned chicken noodle soup? I get the canned beans that doesnt seem bad at all but the canned chicken noodle soup is odd

>>325375
Yes. The elderly enjoy it. The appeal is that the canned soup contains actual chicken meat pieces in a bone broth, where a dry instant soup mix is just noodles and flavour. It's also thicker, creamier.

>>325375
>>325377
Canned soup is still around but it's becoming a more and more out-of-date product as time passes.
In the mid 20th century it used to be massively popular as cheap and fast slop poorer families fed their kids. Nowadays I think the most common consumers are old people who used to be poor kids 60 years ago

Made two comments there again. One was read by a host (another one). He also botched some lines, even shortened the message. I told them about a lingual mistake in their graphics and told what philologist they should read. Previously, someone had mentioned him too which caught me off guard. The host read and said they would read those works. There was 1,000 viewers on YouTube, I'm sure there was more on cable and streaming TV, even though it was 11 pm. There's a few such channels left as some had closed and others formed a group where all of them has the same programming, they just switch in turn in their shifts. So there's a huge possibility of more people watching. Even though it's primarily old people or used as a background noise and picture. I called them xenophiles with an inferiority complex in my first comment — for using unnecessary English borrowed words that have equivalents in their own language. Regardless, the host still read my second comment. I often write YouTube comments under videos, yet it seems journalists don't care. Some people like my comments. Although once some assholes started posting their ignorant crap. They were enraged that I shamed journalists under a cat video. I didn't dissed a cat, not even the regular people they showed. Like/dislike ratio wasn't bad considering laziness and unabashed ignorance of typical normalfags. Professional standards for public activities are different than with everyday speech. Especially when things outside this thread's topic are the reason. It's an attempt to start the right word-building practice. Better late than never.

They've actually changed the way they write that notion recently, but it was still wrong and I pointed it out. Maybe someone pays attention there as they've changed it recently.

I changed Viber name to initials. The host didn't read them, he usually doesn't, sometimes he does but without mentioning a surname.

>>325380
11 am on a weekday of hot summer. The host frequently reads unreasonably offensive comments, so he has immunity. Though in my case, it was reasonable. Plus he had joined a national bullying campaign against one person, so it's not like he's innocent in life, let alone his public defense of emotional abuse (cheating) and promiscuity in youth.

People eat bread and rice when they wanna go diabetes-maxxing. This is the number one cause of diabetes, eating starches and carbohydrates, which convert to glucose in your bloodstream and surge a massive wave of insulin (leading to insulin resistance).

Wizards, just eat bacon and eggs for breakfast.

>>325381
What a sad, hollow individual. The only joy he gets is watching others suffer.

>>325382
This is one of the most medically illiterate posts I've seen here in a while.In the age of free information we live in this stuff is flabbergasting. Carbohydrates do not cause diabetes, excess calories leading to obesity can cause diabetes. Also, protein and part of fat also break down into glucose. Finally, the saturated fat in bacon actually worsens insulin resistance. The only correct thing in this post is that starches and carbohydrates convert to glucose in your bloodstream.

tldr; ignore that guy and his nonsense and do your own research.

Bro it's 2026 and anyone can paste your original message into 5 different AIs for fact-checking. We know it's bullshit, so why do you double down on it like search prompts don't exist? I don't fucking get it but whatever.

>>325383
The host didn't enjoy suffering as his only joy in life. Rather he felt right in his deeds when he joined the bullying campaign.

If it was about me — my second comment to them was without any personal attacks, even though I don't go overboard either way. If you work at the bakery and poison people on the regular basis with willful ignorance or just plain indifference for years, the customer has at least a right to call you out. Harsh truth is better than sweet lies.

My screenshot made on July 4 had a book cover of a pdf opened in my pdf reader on my tablet. Biobibliography that I couldn't add to Wikipedia because I couldn't find the link in Google and other search engine. I visited professor's university repositarium. However, the page had a link to calendar 2023 mistakenly and Wayback Machine had the same result. I visited a few Facebook profiles and search there. No pdf link.

I thought about writing them about a mistake and saying if necessary I have a copy. I deleted it, but I had uploaded it to Z-Library. I go there, it doesn't open on my laptop, go there and to alternative address — nothing. Maybe the queue was big and they didn't approved it yet. About 4 days, 2 more than they say.

I viewed Wikipedia history. I didn't edit the page. In the end, I went to Google My activity, set the time threshold, and found the link. I clicked on it, it was error 404. I put it to Wayback Machine and found it.

Writing about mistake to their library from my burner account is pointless. They might've done on purpose. How could I find it in the past and not now?

I'm noob at this, the site says that search there is visible to third-parties. Could the admin see one visit in July and remove the page? I'll add the archive link to Wikipedia either way unless plans change. Google saving history helped, I think I removed it in the past without disabling it on purpose.

I knew the date from the screenshot name.

>>325411
*repository.

Biobibliography page had link to another pdf. I found the right one, they deleted it, I found it through my history saved not on my device, but in the Google MyActivity history and Wayback Machine.

Now another site has a pdf with info about how one dead person was a Wikipedia editor. Now the site doesn't work, host says one of the reason is that its owners didn't pay. There's some hope since it is a state-run institution. I didn't save it in Wayback Machine.

Completely raw beef is 100% safe to eat in clean countries. I eat steak amd ground beef raw all the time. Cow blood is safe to consume.

>>325474
is it hard to chew?

>>325475
The jaw is powered by the strongest muscles in any man's body, but even then there is some beef that is hard to swallow. Which exact cut of beef it is contributes most to how easy it breaks down. "Stewing beef" is cheap because it's made of of the dense ends of the bull's muscles where the many fibers meet the tendon. It's lean there too; pure muscle, so it takes a lot of energy to chew it tender. Any steak cut or organ meat will chew a lot easier. Don't eat raw kidneys though. It's a super healthy organ but you're pretty much drinking cow pee. Ground beef is particularly good raw because its high surface area makes it quick to oxidize to get that refreshing metallic flavor. Make sure it's not a taco mix of beef and pork.
