I haven't posted here in years. How many members still show up? I was looking up old posts on desuarchive and found myself overwhelmed by nostalgia. I kind of miss arguing with the green retards to be honest, good times. I hope you are all doing well and moving forward with your lives, or are at the very least content with where you are. When was the first ever britfeel thread again? Aren't we already almost a decade old now? Time flies! Not sure if we needed a new general, but I saw somebody in the current thread (which was uploaded last year) bitching about not being able to make a new post, so I thought I'd give it a try.

I've never been here before, I saw the place mentioned on brit/pol/. These Britain-centric imageboards always make me feel like I don't understand my own culture enough, like it being spread across an internet page makes it glaringly obvious how American the rest of the internet is. And therefore how I understand Americanism more than the finer points of my actual nation. No wonder I'm such a loner at work heh.

>>5186 Welcome back lad. How's things? >I hope you are all doing well and moving forward with your lives, or are at the very least content with where you are. For me the situation is basically the same as it was back in the day (still NEET, virgin, etc.), although I'm a lot more content and productive these days. >When was the first ever britfeel thread again? Aren't we already almost a decade old now? Time flies! It started some point in late 2014, moved to 8chan in early 2015, /guildfeel/ in October 2015, Lupus died in early 2016 (RIP), moved to Julay in late 2019, then moved here in mid 2020. Been quiet round here the last couple years, but I suppose that's to be expected. I haven't had much reason to post since I rarely do anything notable, and I rarely feel the need to vent or seek advice the way I used to.

>>5187 Welcome aboard lad. It's nice being able to let loose in places like this, not having to reword everything so some yank twat won't get confused, or to avoid being pelted with the usual BONG/U WOT M8/LOICENCE/SIMPLE AS/FACKIN GOALS bollocks.

Spent most of my morning and afternoon writing an essay, and my evening reading the divine comedy. I'm thinking it's time for some much earned rest. >>5187 welcome lad, this place is pretty slow these days but it can be cozy too, I hope you enjoy your stay. >>5189 >How's things? I've been through an inordinate amount of trials since I last posted here regularly. Dropped out of uni, was hospitalised with alcohol withdrawal, witnessed the suicide of a loved one, developed symptoms of post traumatic stress and then dropped out of uni a second time. I brought in 2021 on the brink of death in hospital from simultaneous heroin and benzodiazepine withdrawal. Things are looking much better for me now though, I've confronted the demons that led to my substance abuse and am one month off from graduating from my first year, at long last, having switched from physics to classical studies. I basically spend all day reading and writing and get to be considered a respectable member of society for it, so I'm very happy. I've even begun to mend my troubled relationships with my family, and this summer I'll be going abroad to spend time having fun with some friends. I feel a sense of peace and ease that up until the past year or so has been utterly alien to me, so I suppose things have worked out rather well. Reading my old posts is surreal to be honest, the immense and practically ever-present rage and bitterness that characterised much of my time posting on here is just gone from my life now, it's a great relief. >It started some point in late 2014 I think there may have been threads in early 2014 or even late 2013, but they weren't always uniformly called britfeel which makes finding them in the archive a bit of a bother. >although I'm a lot more content and productive these days glad to hear it. are you music anon or someone else?

>>5186 Nice to see some activity in here. Things are going well lad. I had an interpretation gig lately that lead to me debuting on the Japanese news. >>5187 That's funny, it felt like a breath of fresh air to speak to my American client on the recent job after being here for nearly 6 months. I never had any British mates to begin with, so as far as contact with the homeland goes it's just been my family.

>>5191 >glad to hear it. are you music anon or someone else? Rumbled. Nice to hear you're doing well these days, keep it up mate. >>5192 >I had an interpretation gig lately that lead to me debuting on the Japanese news. Is the making of the first /britfeel/ idol?

Shout out to the anon who cold approached a 12 year old

I've got my ticket and I'm going to do the king, just you watch lads.

>>5185 This guy coming in here posting a quintessential vintage Britfeel OP image. Welcome lad or welcome back.

>>5185 Haven't checked in in a while, nice to see some old faces, so to speak. And what a coincidence, I made that particular OP pic.

Alright lads, how's it going? Been a while. Don't think I told you lads, but I got a new job at the end of last summer, jumped from 21K to 28K and left a really shitty company. Was previously working on a service desk with a certain NHS trust, eventually moved to application support there but the company was shite and underpaid staff. Now doing application support for a big SaaS platform. Feels good to be paid somewhat decently and I'm eyeing up a promotion that would be a 12K jump (and feel like I'm being groomed for it by management). I've never been happier with the work I do. >>5191 Sounds like you're in a better place too lad, glad to hear it. I know its been tough. Any cool new stuff? I think you recommended Kazuo Ishiguro to me but it's still on my shelf unread. I've not done much reading since the pandemic started to be honest. >>5187 The internet being as American as it is is a shame. Very worrying for the youth really, feels like they'll grow up a lot less british than millenials did.

>>5199 >feels like they'll grow up a lot less british than millenials did. My neices have always frequently used a concerning amount of yank terminology, but these days the eldest is more into Korean and Japanese. According to her stories of the playground, it would seem that all Year 4s these days are gookaboos and weeaboos, unironically going around speaking in Google-translated "Korean" and calling each other "baka".

>>5192 >I had an interpretation gig lately that lead to me debuting on the Japanese news. One of the English broadcast dub voices? Noice one m8.

What's on the agenda today lads? I have to binge read twelth night today so I can crank out a short essay question that I should have done months ago and once that's sorted I can focus on my final project for the year. Have a nice cretan helmet to spice up your lunch hour, also. >>5192 pretty sure last time I heard from you you were still a beginner Japenese student, good for you lad - how was the news experience? Were you nervous? >>5193 you too lad. >>5198 Nice to see you're still hear lad, what's up with you these days? >>5199 >Any cool new stuff? Do you mean in terms of literature or generally? I'm starting to learn Latin in October and I'm taking an ancient greek summer school course also, looking forward to finally breaking out of monolingual hell >>5200 I ended up getting a lot more americanised by the internet and by IRL experiences honestly, I find myself accidentally slipping into old idioms while posting here though, which is funny

>>5202 Was mostly thinking literature but honestly, share anything cool you want to lad. I'll be playing Shadows of Doubt for a few hours today, only got up at 2PM so not as much as I like, and then Im going to see Nic Cage's new movie at 9PM. Looking forward since I've heard it's crazy Nic Cage, not boring Nic Cage.

>>5202 >what's up with you these days? Over these past few years, a lot. On the surface I've gone full normie even if I still don't feel like one, to the point where I don't really belong here anymore. But I think I'll always have a fondness for this place

>>5204 I kind of get where you're coming from, I can't speak for any of the other lads but I'd like to think that sort of thing doesn't really matter anymore, a lot of my circumstances have changed too in ways that I can't really express without running contra to the original spirit of britfeel that we tried so hard to preserve by splitting off on our own in the first place, so it's complicated. Didn't sheep anon have a wife? Lupus definitely had a boyfriend also, so I'd like to think that sort of thing isn't much of a big deal anymore. >>5203 I've read an obscene amount since I last posted on here so I'm not sure where to start, some of my new favourites are Dante's Divine Comedy, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, and Orlando by Virginia Woolf. Also the Iliad, I read that for the first time all the way back in 2016, but recent developments in my life have lent in an almost apocryphal significance in my life. The Aeneid is a fairly competent latin epic also, although in translation I think I prefer Ovid's metamorphoses in terms of large scale latin verse, I'll be able to read them both in the original next year which I'm exciteed about - apparently the Aeneid is exceptionally poetic in the original, it tends to make Latinists cream themselves.

I'm a zoomer and I dont see americanisation as an issue. I think if anything americans are taking up british culture more than we are adopting american culture.

what music genres do you like lads? I've always enjoyed boomer rock and have a lot of folk records.

>>5207 From my perspective as a younger millenial Americanisation of language is definitely happening - most people now go on to study at University which places them in an international social circle, and people are increasingly socialising online in international communities(covid lockdowns accelerated this drastically). It's up for debate whether or not this is an issue, but it's definitely happening. One issue with the English language is that we never established a central language authority that would seek to preserve a degree of linguistic purity like the French did. >>5208 I listen to a little bit of everything, but my most frequently listened to genres would have to be classical, hiphop and shoegaze/dreampop. I want to get more into historical music, but I think properly delving in will necessitate my learning to play an instrument, I find early medieval court music and ancient greek music in general pretty interesting topics. I was listening to link related earlier today also, one of my favourite albums of any genre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei88J4lERbk

>>5207 >I'm a zoomer Shan't be reading the rest of this post.

Now that the old gang are back together. *sips coffee* What do you want?

>>5211 I'll have one wife and three kids, ta.

>>5211 could I get a cup of tea with milk and one sugar, and a duo boost bar? thanks la I really missed making these posts

>date with milf i picked up at the train station last week >petite, 8/10 with mask, 5/10 without (really need to start telling them to take them off on the approach) >drink coffee while making beta small talk for 30 mins at starbucks >go for the movie pull >she acquiesces with zero resistance >take train back to my 1LDK while making beta small talk about our royal family (japanese mummies love them) >arrive home >put on some film set in victorian england on netflix >tell her to come to me, pull her into me and watch film while making more beta small talk about the film for a few mins >start groping her boobs >she moans >clearly very receptive, pick her up and throw her on the bed after kissing for a bit >get undressed >shag her for a little bit, start thinking she's unusually wet >look down and my white sheets have turned into a murder scene >blood fucking everywhere >tell her and she barely reacts, honestly never seen a girl not that not bothered about about being on her period (especially strange since jap women are trained from child to find everything in the world はずかしい） >say it's too gross and i can't cum >we both have a shower and she fucks off Shaln't be messaging her again. It's not that she was on her period, it was how much her nonchalant attitude towards it turned me off, and she didn't even apologize about fucking my sheets up.

>>5215 >>5216 >tfw soon turning 27 and still a virgin

>>5199 Employers seem to be paying more these days. In the past 2 years, I've gone from 18k to around 26k after bonuses working the same job. I'm trying to join the fire brigade. I tried this year and got through to the interview stage but wasn't hired. Still pleased with myself since fewer than 100 people out of 5,000+ applicants get that far. I'll try again next year. In the meantime, ChatGPT has me very motivated to find something else since applying for jobs is far easier.

>>5186 >2015 >wake up at 1pm >squash a slice of bread into a ball and wash it down with some coffee >boot up my PC and spend the afternoon browsing /britfeel/ with the lads inbetween TF2 games >order a madras because it's CURRY NIGHT >spend the evening with more britfeel and vidya before treating myself to my 2nd wank Weird to think that the time between now and early britfeel is the same time between early britfeel and 2007/2008.

Made some "fried" chicken in the air fryer. ended up a little too salty, but in a wrap with some salad and garlic mayo, it's bloody lovely.

British controlled servers

>>5220 Fantastic things. >chop potatoes into chips >put in a bowl of freshly boiled water for about 15 minutes >drain and throw in the air fryer, add a bit oil and shake them around >cook at 180c until they're crisp Perfect chips every time without having to deep fry. If you tried that in an oven you'd have a soggy mess.

Do you lads have any words you find yourself saying repeatedly for no reason, or regularly feeling an urge to say? For me, it's gorgonzola. I don't know why.

>>5223 Nigger

>>5223 COCK

Might get a Steam Deck lads. Considered a switch but no games on there particularly interest me and the deck effectively has thousands of options.

I had the worst nights sleep of my life yesterday lads, dragged a duvet and some pillows under my desk around 9pm and somehow slept there until 3am. My neck is killing me >>5226 How many of those games are actually optimised for steam deck hardware? I’m always sketched out by portable devices that are meant to run PC games

How's everyone's hairline holding up these days?

>>5228 Fantastically, thanks for asking.

>>5228 as thick and luscious as ever, cheers lad.

>>5228 Started visibly receding at 30 and I've been skinhead ever since.

>>5228 Just fine, but I prefer the skinhead look.

Anyone remember around 2015 on the /r9k/ thread some guy in his early 30s who was an "advertising consultant" or some other similar role? He wasn't a tripfag, but his normalfag "waheey, oi oi" bloke posting style made him stand out like one. He would type as if he was talking to his mates on Facebook. His typical post content would be gloating about his life and how much money he makes or larping as a well adjusted successful figure who could help lads out and get them snagging more birds. He actually might have had a trip, its hard to remember.

>>5233 Not too sure because I started posting way less on /r9k/ after we got the 8chan board running, wouldn't surprise me if as soon as we left the place was taken over by tripfags though

>>5233 was that the guy called britnormie or something? He claimed to know the guy in the Deano pics.

Stayed up all night working on uni assignments, finished them by 6am and then headed into town to get blood tests done. Proper pleased that I didn't have to cancel my appointment and actually finished everything I needed to get done today, just my final projects to go and I will have actually passed my first year. Time to cozy up in my reading chair with tea and a book. How's everyone else's day been then?

>>5233 >>5235 Just googled britnormie and it comes up with old 8ch threads where we were talking about him. Wonder how he's doing these days.

>>5236 Sounds comfy. Do you notice much of an age gap between you and other students? I've never been to uni, but I assume the majority of first year students are 18/19. I just went to work, left early at 1 to get my car repairs estimated (fella crashed into me last Sunday) and then came home to find that my replica trainers had arrived. Quality is incredible, shant ever buy an authentic pair ever again. Wish I discovered this sooner.

>>5235 >>5237 Yeah, that's him. He once told us a story about how some girl in Ibiza was chatting to him, only to see her friends laughing and recording in the background and he realized this was some cruel dare. I then became aware that he was the same kind of failed normalfag that Manlytears was, a man who surrounded himself with autists and neets because its the only people he can feel successful around.

>>5238 >Do you notice much of an age gap between you and other students? I switched to studying online because it turns out you can study a full time degree online and still get autismbux in scotland so I don't really interract with other students at all atm, but when I was in a brick and mortar uni (that forced me to study online after luring me to the city right before another covid lockdown was announced) pretty much all my friends were in the 18-20 years old age bracket. I definitely noticed it whenever conversation would turn to something intellectual, the precociousness of thought mixed with total naivete of the world people at that age tend to display doesn't annoy me though, it just makes me feel old and a little bit nostalgic. >>5239 >who surrounded himself with autists and neets because its the only people he can feel successful around. I always found these sorts of people sadder than everyone else on /r9k/ honestly, there's something so uniquely pathetic about it, I think because failed normalfags of this sort don't really have any wrong with them mentally beyond being terminally uninteresting.

>>5240 hello sag lad glad to see you're about

>>5241 I made the new OP and the first reply!! Cheers mate, it's nice to see that everyone's getting on well.

>>5242 The usual threadmaker isn't very good at their job.

>>5243 when I first checked in on the board last week I thought it had died, I was relieved when I noticed there had been activity this year at the bottom of the thread. somebody needs to find threadslave and crack the whip, disgraceful state of affairs to be honest

>>5243 >>5244 Give him a break, he's a lanky goggle-eyed mongboy and making threads is difficult.

>>5243 for me, its coming back to this board every few months, making an OP image and then forgetting to contribute to the ongoing discourse

I've been thinking about buying a transit van. I think it would open up an enormous amount of opportunities.

>>5247 What opportunities?

Look here. Look, listen. At the end of the day. All said and done. Whcllndb

>>5249 are you whibblescromps poster? >>5245 sorry mate. didn't realise i was being insensitive

>>5245 vete a la mierda tu y tu hijo y tu esposa

Do you lads think ants could destroy humanity if they wanted? Like if they all rallied together with that objective in mind. Isn't there something nuts like a million ants to each human?

>>5250 Hop along, my little friends, up the whibble! Scromps going on ahead candles for to kindle. Down west sinks the Sun: soon you will be scromping. When the floobities fall, then the door is womping, Out of the whibblescromps stars will twinkle yellow. Fear no nigger black! Heed no hoary willow! Fear neither root nor bough! Deano goes on before you. Hey now! merry dol! We’ll be scromping for you!

Me? Can't wrap my head around this

>>5248 I think I jumped the gun a bit. I seen a job add for a charity bag collector and I got over excited.

>>5256 No need to threaten me, I'm pro-pod

>>5255 I chuckled. That doesn't sound like it'd be worth buying a van for.

Raisins? Now there's an underrated fruit.

>>5259 Actually, the raisin is not a distinct fruit, it is a dried grape.

Let's hear it then. What are your thoughts on ChatGPT?

>>5261 Enjoyed it for about a week, then the deliberate nerfing/cucking of it annoyed me enough to make me stop using it and I've been basically ignoring its existence ever since

>>5259 >>5260 the raisin is in spirit simply a diminuitive date, and it should learn its place in the heirarchy of things. >>5261 I think we should pause development on all LLMs until the problem of AI allignment has been properly explored to be honest, it's a bit concerning now that we have autoGPT learning to prompt itself. Also it's worth noting that ChatGPT is the slimmed down model for casual users, the big stuff is happening with GPT4. I don't think it's at all ethical to let researchers continue to blackbox their experiments in the wake of the "sparks of AGI" paper. The fact that GPT 4 can now use tools without training, reflect upon the success of tasks it performs, and can prompt itself should all be genuine cause for concern - I say this as someone who has always hated AI and has a strong bias towards downplaying its capabilities also.

>>5261 I used to it make funny jokes and quips for a work presentation and now I have to keep up the pretense that I'm actually funny in real life

>>5264 Go on then. Post some jokes funnyboy.

>>5265 Brexit.

>>5261 I think its fascinating. I got it to create an extremely realistic dialogue of Ricky Gervais and Karl discussing the hollacust.

>>5261 Basically what >>5262 said, although I still use it from time to time for the odd programming-related conundrum. A lot of people are concerned about LLMs taking over "creative" jobs, but I am in fact quite pleased. Anyone who is overly-protective of their "creative" job (see: pricks who feel entitled to all the money in the world just for being useless and wanking themselves off, and who want to live off the royalties of their "intellectual property" forever and ever while actively preventing anyone else from ever creating anything remotely similar by lobbing life-destroying lawsuits at them) deserves every miserable thing that ever happens to them. I'll be happy to see creative pursuits return to the realms of hobbyists and the religious, performed only by people who actually give a shit about the crafts rather than wanting to profit off them. "But the art, music, film, and video game industries could die!" they say; "GOOD" I reply. >>5263 >I think we should pause development on all LLMs Would be wise, but it's not gonna happen. It's like trying to pause development on weapons; you might get some mugs to agree to do it, but many will continue developing it anyway, and they'll end up as the dominant force. Pandora's box is open.

>>5268 Chip on your shoulder lad? Apart from a few who won the equivalent of the Hollywood lottery, the ones gobbling revenue and lobbing lawsuits aren't the ones doing the creative work for a pittance, but the ones who quietly own the system - money people, need I say more - and they're very excited about AI, same as they're excited about anything that cuts those inconvenient little people out. Those industries won't die, just end up with power even more concentrated than they already are. Real question you should be asking is why you're telling yourself this little story, same as any scene in your head that ends with you replying "GOOD" to "them" before everyone else in the room stands up and claps really.

>>5269 I have a mixed sentiment about >>5268 to be honest, it's definitely amiss to identify "creatives" (fucking despise this term for the record" as people throwing their weight around in courts and using IP law, they're mostly smaller artists who are upset that their art is being analysed and recombinated by an artificial intelligence. I do however think that most artists are simply being hysterical on that front though - what an AI does isn't really fundamentally different from what a human artists does. Every (good) artist trains themselves by examining the work of others and drawing inspiration from it. I also don't think that AI is actually going to be able to replace artists - for things like graphic design and churning out concepts it's definitely going to be used as a tool, and artists working for, say, videogame companies might soon need to find themselves learning prompt engineering to keep up, but for the most part I (hope) the replacement anxiety of artists is unwarranted. Fundamentally humans prefer to see human art to Ai art - I've seen studies where people are monitored and derive less pleasure from art if they are told it is AI generated rather than made by a human. I'd imagine AI is only really going to hurt the bottom feeders who make money doing cheap digital art commissions and the like.

>>5257 But will you eat the bugs?

>>5270 Also, one other thing I forgot to say: AI will mainly harm digital art and I genuinely think that's a good thing. Digital is nice because of its ease of access but it's an inferior, rootless, disembodied medium and it bothers me that a lot of fairly talented creative minds end up sinking all of their efforts into it. I hope as AI progresses there will be a movement towards physical mediums - it would be nice if people started looking back to things like masonry, pottery, weaving, mosaic and frescoes as a creative outlet. That's the sort of thing our world of mass produced consumer garbage genuinely needs. Some local crafts and pretty statues.

>>5272 >it's an inferior, rootless, disembodied medium and it bothers me that a lot of fairly talented creative minds end up sinking all of their efforts into it Ttake a little breath lad, remind yourself that multiply isn't so different from a wash and that some kinds of anger are really only for ourselves. Why don't you have a nice time showing us your art, maybe light the way for some of the poor benighted souls addled by the degenerate luxury of layers?

>>5273 I'm not sure why you think I'm angry, I'm this >>5270 poster not the one you're originally replying to. I'm of the opinion that one of the most important functions of art is to beautify the environs that people and individual communities live in on a daily basis - gallery culture and the notion of an artist as an egocentric genius who works alone rather than as a craftsman operating in a community and benefitting from generational knowledge was a big blow to this, and digital art is the other. You cannot stand up close to a piece of digital art and admire it's depth, you cannot look at it from multiple angles (unless it's in VR, I suppose), digital art cannot act as a column that holds up a roof or hang on a wall as a fresco. There are advantages to digital art that lend well to the creation of manga and animation, but even then some of the best examples of both mediums tend to be hand drawn. I'm not frothing at the mouth about digital art or anything like that. I just think that even the best of the medium is relatively dull because we are forced to appreciate it through a screen. Everytime I see a nice piece of digital art, I just think about how much better it would look as a painting, is that so unreasonable a stance to have?

>>5271 If the pod makes the bugs taste and appear completely indistinguishable from real, tasty food, then it makes no difference to me.

>>5272 this.

My anaemia has come back and I have been stuck in bed for the past few hours :4( >>5266 Greencuck is that you? I thought you’d either died or moved on with your life

>>5277 >Greencuck is that you?

>>5260 >Actually,

Apparently "ginormous" isn't a real word. Wtf?

You lads don't seem to get it, AI is going to make us all filthy stinking rich. We'll barely lift a finger. Trust me, in a year or two you'll see. The real world is dead, we going full cyberpunk dystopia.

>>5281 I don't think most people are particularly rich in cyberpunk dystopias lad

>>5277 >>5278 Check the Local Election results. GREEN SURGE

Would anyone mind sharing their experience with SSRIs? Please mention drug and dosage too.

>>5284 I have been on: fluoxetine (erectile dysfunction) sertraline (aggression) reboxetine (aggression and made it hurt to cum) Venlafaxine (AVOID AT ALL COSTS) mirtazapine (actually helped for a few months when I was too depressed to function, but has nasty withdrawals) I can’t remember the exact doses but for all of them I was on the max dose allowed in the UK - you can find the max doses in the British National Formulary which is free to access online. With the exception of mirtazapine none of them helped me much, I would strongly advise avoiding any sort of psychiatric medication for depression unless you’re actively suicidal. Some of them may help you for a short period of time, and if that happens you need to take advantage of the period to enact healthy habits and drag yourself out of the mire. Therapy, physical fitness, confronting my fears and forming meaningful relationships have all helped me more than any sort of psychiatric medicine has helped, and I’ve been on a lot of psychiatric medication. For the love of god no matter how well you are avoid venlafaxine (brand name effexor) though.

>>5285 Could you go more into detail about your experience with Venlafaxine?

>Depression is your brain's way of telling you to get your act together and antidepressants are a Jewish scam Thoughts?

>>5287 I'm of two minds on this. Sometimes depression is down entirely to environmental factors, in which case changing your situation is better than masking it with drugs. However I also believe that some people experience depression due to a chemical imbalance and not due to having anything actually wrong in their life (or, it might be a mix of both). In which case, antidepressants can help.

>>5288 I should also add that I took antidepressants for a time after some major life events that spiralled me into depression, and they were more of a temporary bandaid for me. Without them I might have stayed in a miserable rut indefinitely, but with them it gave me enough of a push to sort shit out and later get off them. So in that sense they were a success for me.

5 hours, 400+ approaches, 26 contact exchanges, 2 instadates, no pulls. Biggest day yet.

>>5291 Normally I'd say that's a bad thing, but in your case it's clearly a good thing, cocksucker.

there's been a fair bit of talk about those of us who have changed a lot since the early britfeel days, progressed, improved. How many among us haven't changed, are the same as you always were even after all this time?

>>5293 oh and I'm not trying to belittle anyone so this is only directed to those that feel like they want to share that info

>>5291 I kek'd. >>5293 I'm still a NEET virgin sitting in the same corner of the same bedroom in the same house as I was in 2015 (or 2007, for that matter), so in many ways my living situation and personal/work status is basically unchanged; the only real difference is that I'm not an anxious wreck all the time over minor things, and I have a little more "I just can't be bothered to care anymore"-derived inner peace and confidence.

>>5291 I actually came back here after searching "Scottish Anime Guy" on desuarchive, and I was astonished at the sheer volume of posts made about me by greencuck after I left /r9k/, several dozen at least, he def wanted to shag >>5295 >the only real difference is that I'm not an anxious wreck all the time over minor things that's a pretty big difference to be fair, if you're sincerely comfortable as you are then it's not a major issue

>>5296 You don't still support UKIP, do you lad? Or God forbid, the t*ries.

>>5297 I fell deeper down the rabbit hole and was an unironically fascist for a few years but now I’ve taken my normal pills and support the SNP, they’re not perfect but they’re the best I’ve got. I’m kind of burnt out on politics and keep my engagement minimal these days, though.

>>5298 >SNP Good lord, it's worse than I imagined...

>>5299 Are you still chained to an unelectable party after all these years? I don’t really have any great fondness for the SNO, they just don’t completely disgust me. I’m pretty burnt out when it comes to politics anyways, I’ll consider giving it more thought after enjoying a few more peaceful years of a quiet and relatively anger free life :4)

Anyone played Elden Ring?

>>5301 Yeah, the enemies get kind of tanky in the lategame which is annoying. It's size is also somewhat to its detriment, I spent about 150 hours playing and still hadn't beaten the main questline and ended up just getting kind of bored - I hope if they release a sequel they scale back the world size a bit. It's still worth playing though if you've ever enjoyed any of the souls games

>>5302 I'm playing it now and having a blast. Beat the witch lady with the babies that throw books at you last week. This week I've just been exploring around and finding new things. I have no idea where to go next. I found a boss which is a giant man on a horse and you have a load of people you can summon, but it was very apparent that I was too low a level so now I am left without any direction. Using hookclaws as a weapon.

Well, I'm now bored of Elden Ring. Game is far too long with little direction. 30 hours into a game when you are wondering what to do shouldn't be answered with "Just keep exploring!". Wandering around a map with awkward terrain looking for things that may or may not be related to the quest line is not fun. With souls games, it always made sense what you are supposed to do next despite having multiple options, you were never left aimlessly wandering around. The "quest lines" are a diagrace since there is no way to track them, you'll likely speak to an NPC and not realise you've started a quest line before moving on and forgetting it. All progress of the "quest" stays hidden The boss fights are lame and repetitive. With over 200 bosses, it becomes obvious after a while that many of them are just slightly altered versions of earlier bosses. They've added a lot of irritating moves to bosses like the little pretend swings that trick you into dodging or jumping back which does nothing but extend the fight. I rate this game a good 4/10.

>>5311 Feels like Elden Ring went for a Quantity over Quality approach. As someone who can barely finish a succinct high quality game, I shan't be playing this.

>>5311 >>5312 One thing that I'll applaud the game for is giving you the option to spawn directly outside the boss's fog gate if you die, instead if making you walk for fucking ever. It only took them 13 years to realize this was a bad idea. I remember it took about 3 minutes to walk back to The Four Kings every time you died because some retard never thought of adding a bonfire anywhere in the area. Bloodborne was atrocious for doing this. I get the idea is probably to add some level of importance to the fight and make player focus on managing resources, but punishing players with boredom is always such a shit idea.

Thinking about going to a summer school to learn ancient greek lads, it costs around £1k which is pricey for me but for an entire intensive course with 10-20 hours of tuition, a week's accomodation and food it's pretty tempting. Thoughts? >>5311 I feel the same way - had a fair amount of fun with it but couldn't stop thinking how much better it would have been with a metroidvania esque dark souls 1 style map instead of open world silliness

>>5314 >Thoughts No offence, but I'm not sure why you'd pay all that money to learn a dead language with very little practical use. Learning a modern language would be much better, imo.

>>5314 I think its a good idea. Its basically a holiday for you, and £1000 is only a bit more than you would pay for a holiday to Greece. Did you manage to beat Elden Ring or did you get too bored? I swear people just pretend to like it because they're too embarrassed to admit they packed it in after they couldn't beat Margit. The achievement statistics show that only about 55% of people got that far. It won nearly every 2022 GOTY award despite GOW: Ragnarok being an absolute masterpiece from start to finish.

>>5315 Now there's a good consumerist goy slave, we wouldn't want him doing something that doesn't benefit Shekelstein in any way simply because he enjoys it, would we?

>>5315 I'm a classical studies student so my career is dead in the water unless I learn it, so it's pretty practical for me. That aside, the Iliad is my favourite work of literature of all time and I want to be able to read it in the original. Not only do you get access to the two greatest epics and (in my opinion) the greatest works of literature of all time, but you also get to enjoy the tragedians, comics, Plato, Aristotle, the New Testament and many other works in their original form. It's an exceptionally useful language to have if you're interested in anything related to western civilisation - second only to Latin in that regard. I'll need to learn french and german at some point too, and maybe Italian, since there's a fair amount of quality classics scholarship in those languages that doesn't get translate to english, but they're far lower on my priorities than Greek and Latin, since I need them both before going on to my masters. >>5316 >Its basically a holiday for you This is what I was thinking, sure it's hard work but getting away from the house for a little while longer over Summer sounds quite nice, I've been cooped up inside fairly frequently over the last few years and want to stretch my legs a little. >Did you manage to beat Elden Ring or did you get too bored? I got bored. I went pretty far, around up to where you have to fight Miquella in the scarlet rot area - but I was suffering from being underlevel and with around 150 hours in the game I just couldn't be bothered grinding for levels and travelling around picking up important gear. I had a lot of fun with it and don't regret buying it, but I really hope if elden ring gets a sequel they scale down the size and make it more focussed.

>>5317 I meant in the sense of being able to communicate with other speakers, not that he has to use it to make shekelberg money. But I concede there is value in learning a language you have passion for vs one for practicalities sake.

>>5320 to be honest the main appeal of any new language to me is the literature it gives access to, I seem to be somewhat of a minority in considering that the main goal of language learning though, the a lot of classicist institutions in the UK do amateur Greek plays in the original language, so being able to watch or act in them is probably the closest I’ll get to speaking regularly

Patiently waiting for the next Hollow Knight to come out.

>>5323 i Hollowed ur mum out last Knight lad

>>5322 The most British incident of all time

>>5323 i've been really hollow since your mum left me, lad.

Tough times never last. Only tough people last.

went out for a walk earlier today, hadn't left the house in three days. I've just been working on my finals project and sleeping constantly. the sun was nice >>5327 you alright, lad?

I've had this fungal scalp infection for a full year now. Finally got an appointment at the dermatologist in a couple of weeks after 6 months of getting faffed about by the doctor.

Anyone ever tried microdosing shrooms?

Been working all night, wrote around 4k words of notes and preliminary source analysis, read a bunch of secondary scholarship. Going to dip into a hot bath then read dante until I fall asleep, it's been a busy day. Night lads. >>5330 I've never had shrooms but weed and LSD always mess with my mental health, so I can't imagine I'd enjoy it.

>>5329 Have you tried this mate? The active ingredient (ketoconazole) is really good for that kind of thing

>>5331 The point in microdosing isnt to get high. The usual dose is about 0.2 grams, taken once a day for three days and then two days off for a minimum of 6 weeks. I don't know if there have been any real studies done on microdosing, but for a lot of people it seems to reduce symptoms of anxiety and increase creativity. I can't smoke weed anymore, it makes me feel horrific. However, every time I've had mushrooms I've had a phenomenal time. They don't cost anything either, which is nice. You just have to get up early in autumn before everyone else picks them.

>>5286 Pls respond

>>5338 It just made me legitimately insane. I was on the highest possible dose (120mg iirc) and the withdrawals were fast and horrendous. I had to pick it up weekly but was too depressed to consistently pick it up - missing doses would give horrendously painful brain zaps and I would often sleep for 20+ hours. I remember completely losing contact with reality after missing it for three days and thinking I had to jump off a 43 story building in order to reset the universe so that I could control it - I was pretty mentally unwell at the time granted, but I only experienced frank psychosis of this sort while on venlafaxine, and I felt way better after I finally tapered off (which took several months). My memory is admittedly hazy from that time, but from what I do recall it made me drastically worse, not better.

Anyone got any recomendations for Joe Rogan podcasts? I'm going insane with how much I'm hating work right now and he is the only thing stopping me flying off the handle. Currently listened to - Mike Tyson - Terrible. He is actually fucking retarded. Edward Snowden - Pretty good Miley Cyrus - Surpisingly good Brian Cox - Alright Kelly Slater - Incredibly good Snoop Dogg - Good to start off with but got a bit bored after realizing he is a boring person.

>>5341 dude weed lmao

>>5342 That's Seth Rogen

>>5339 I know you were completely delusional, but how did you come to the conclusion that you had to jump off a building to reset the universe? Did it just pop into your head of was there some sort of influence?

>>5344 I slept for around 20 hours and had a series of dreams surrounding the universe being a series of cycles of destruction or rebirth in which the key to becoming god was uncovering your memories from the prior universal cycle and performing a specific set of actions at the end of the universe in order to rise to diety status for the next cycle. It was a pretty cool dream, but upon waking up I was so utterly fried that I simply thought I had recieved divine revelation. Fortunately for me, I decided to try topping up on the venlafaxine and seeing whether or not I still believed this to be true after I had redosed - a few hours after taking it I realised I was just insane and decided not to bother with any sort of building jumping escapades.

>>5345 How does it feel walking up after 20 hours.

The deep ocean is a vast and scary place, lads. I suggest you avoid it.

>>5346 Like waking up normally but also your limbs are exceptionally heavy, your mouth is really dry and you really need to take a piss. My sleep record is actually 42 hours, pretty sure that technically qualifies as a coma, though. >>5347 spook yourself watching deep sea diving videos lad?

>>5348 I watched a video of a man surfing on a 100ft wave. He looked like a tiny little spec as this behemoth rises out the water. It got me thinking about life and the ocean.

>>5361 Happy birthday, it's my birthday too. >Spent the afternoon at the vets paying for my dog to get induced vomiting after she ate my entire birthday chocolate cake. Hope you got more cake and she's alright.

>>5362 Happy birthday to you too. She's fine, managed to get her there pretty quickly after she ate it >tfw paid £170 for my dog to vomit Cake has been replaced and partially eaten.

Coming to Japan was the best decision of my life.

>>5361 Happy birthday lad. Your dog's lucky to have you. How old now? >tfw turned 29 last month >tfw actually enjoying life more as I age

>>5365 I am also 29 years old. I think I'm lucky to have her, she's the nicest and prettiest dog ever. So am I, people treat you with a lot more respect. It's weird when you're getting your car fixed and the staff aren't treating you with contempt for no reason and instead they're just polite. I remember when I was doing my theory test and the old guy working there was speaking to everyone like he was a PE teacher, it was so rude. There's no way that would happen now.

>>5361 A bit late but wish you a happy birthday britbro. Hope the doggo is alright.

>>5367 Thanks, mate She's fine

greetings from britfeel, i hate women so much its unreal

I've got 6 dates lined up over the weekend. Will report back on Monday.

Got some chips and Kiev's in the oven. Will report back tonight.

I am in heaven lads. Finished uni a few days ago and the relaxation has finally started to kick in. My anaemia has been easing up too and I was able to spend a few hours walking around in the countryside, and now I’m drinking tea and reading William Blake. Absolute bliss. >>5361 >>5362 Happy birthday, lads. >>5370 Are you having digestive problems or something? Feel better soon

>>5371 Update. It was alright. >>5372 Good job. Why would your anaemia prevent you walking round the countryside?

Anyone sometimes spend time in your bedroom rather than the living room due to the familiarity? I do it a lot even though I'm living with my parents anymore. I've been thinking about getting a TV for the bedroom.

>>5373 >Good job. cheers lad >Why would your anaemia prevent you walking round the countryside? when it's strong i get very light headed from even minor exertions

>>5374 My parents split up when I was 18 and my dad moved out. My mum finally moved in with her new man back in 2019 and I took over the upkeep of the house, then I finally bought it off my mum in December 2021. Pretty much my entire adult life, I've spent almost all my time at home in my old bedroom (we converted the loft in 2006 and I moved my bed up there then used my old bedroom as a gaming room). Even though I own the place and live here myself, I still just spend all my time in the gaming room. The Living room is pretty much just gathering dust.

>>5376 Do you think it is possible to make a living room as comfy as a bedroom whilst still making it look presentable? Do you have any desire to use your living room to its full potential? I feel like it could be a comfy room but the bedroom feels comfier.

>>5374 No, now that I'm not confined to my bedroom, I try and keep it for mainly sleeping.

>>5377 I personally just keep it presentable in the unlikely event that I ever have visitors. Maybe if I had a wife/girlfriend it'd be worth trying to make it comfy but for the foreseeable future it shall remain a dormant space.

>>5378 Which room do you wank in?

Struggling to cope in this blistering heat. Don't think I've ever had sunburn so early on in the year before. It feels like August.

I'm so physically inflexible I think it's a health risk. Never mind touching my toes, I struggle to touch my knees.

>>5382 That's horrendous.

Just had SEX with yet another new girl. It's so easy lads. How has it taken me 29 years to realize?

>>5383 how do I fix it? I need help.

>>5384 >It's so easy lads. How has it taken me 29 years to realize? You're forgetting all the personal development you did to get to this point. In your past self's shoes, it wasn't so easy, otherwise you would have "just done it" like you can do today.

>>5385 Walk for more than 5 minutes at least once a week.

>>5384 Im 23 and have never had sex. What's your secret?

back in the spring of 2020 i started a diary and I stopped writing in it around september 2022. I just made my first entry in 9 months. Went to go look at the early entrys and came across my entries when my dog was being put down. All those feels have hit me again.

>>5381 Easter 2020 was much hotter I recall having a sunburned scalp in April of all things. I shaved my head with no guard on my clippers as it was lockdown and I made a serious error while drunk attempting to cut my own hair.

>>5372 >I am in heaven lads. Finished uni a few days ago and the relaxation has finally started to kick in. My anaemia has been easing up too and I was able to spend a few hours walking around in the countryside, and now I’m drinking tea and reading William Blake Jolly good. Looking at my old diary entries when I was doing my final exams during the lockdown of 2020 brought it all back. I am still at university but only on a part time basis funded by my employer, its not the same as full time. I hope you enjoyed your days and wish you the most fortuitous luck in the future in finding gainful employment.

>>5386 This is true to a degree since I've been committed to self-improvement for the last 5 years. >otherwise you would have "just done it" like you can do today. This isn't true. It was only recently that I found the video that inspired me to give this a try in the first place. It was a guy approaching around Osaka and taking nothing but rejections for 20 minutes straight. It was eye-opening, because any PUA-type stuff I'd encountered before always showed "Chads" getting nothing but positive responses and contact exchanges. Watching these videos always left me demoralised with a sour taste in my mouth due to the feeling that I could never be as witty, good-looking, or charismatic as them. Knowing what I know now, these "Chads" were cherry-picking their clips and leaving out vast swathes of rejections to present a false image to the world, which is in fact incredibly beta and needy. The reality of approaching girls is that most will reject you no matter who you are or what you say. >>5388 Mass cold approaches. Take them to a nearby coffee shop if they're receptive and not doing anything. Settle for the contact exchange if they reject. Arrange dates with girls you exchanged with. Invite them to watch a film at yours while out on dates. If they accept, it's rumpy pumpy most of the time. That's it. Rejections are the norm at all stages of the process. It's not a repudiation of you, so just accept it and keep going.

Any of you lads know a way to circumvent paywalls on news websites? I want to read an article on the Economist, but I don't really check in on it enough to justify paying >>5392 >these "Chads" were cherry-picking their clips and leaving out vast swathes of rejections to present a false image to the world I distinctly remember trying to tell people on /r9k/ this years ago only for nobody to ever listen to me, normies don't really attach the apocalyptic significance to rejection that robots historically did which is what enables the former to operate properly in society >>5391 Cheers mate. I've still been on survival mode these past few days, it's like my body hasn't fully processed that things are over for the year, going to work on some personal projects around the house, go for another walk and catch up on my reading to take the edge off things. Maybe a nice bath too.

Has there ever been a better singer?

>>5395 >the apocalyptic significance to rejection I've long since come to terms with the fact that I'll never be able to change this about myself. I'm not bitter about it, just sad.

>>5397 Why do you think that is lad? From most of my own experiences and observations, people tend to struggle with this thing chiefly because they have an insecure sense of self in one way or another, perhaps they dislike themselves in some fundamental way and thus view the rejection as external confirmation of that internal reality, for example. It's certainly something that can be changed, albeit not easily, I'd encourage you not to give up on yourself and to keep trying your best!

>>5393 Harry Crackhead lol

>>5398 For me it was a mixture between social anxiety and not wanting my insecurities reinforced. I used to have no idea if I was good looking or not. My choices were to either remain comfortable, I might be good looking but if I stay in my comfort zone I don't have to find out, or step massively out of my comfort zone, get rejected and then achieve nothing but knowing I'm unattractive. It was a bit of a vanity thing obviously

>>5397 >I'll never be able to change this about myself Wrong. I used to think I was hopeless too. That said, this isn't something that can be solved intellectually. You actually have to go out and incur rejections, repeatedly. It's about training your subconscious to realise it's literally nothing, and it isn't about you. They're either receptive or they're not, and there's nothing you can do to alter that. Forget about all the youtube PUA cucks with their needy contrivances and cringey forced techniques. Just say hi, tell them they're cute, and wing it from there. They're either receptive or they're not, and there's nothing you can do to change that. Do not change your behaviour for a woman. Every time you say hi, you win. Once more: rejection is normal and healthy. A year ago I wouldn't have approached a single girl if you paid me, despite very much wanting to, because the prospect was terrifying, and my ego was attached to the result. Now, on a big day, I'll take 300+ total rejections. Sometimes up to 30 in a row. It will be incredibly uncomfortable at first, and you'll experience a high level of tension. But then, you'll stop caring. Eventually, you'll even begin to enjoy it. I'm rooting for you lad.

>>5401 >You actually have to go out and incur rejections, repeatedly Yeah that's not happening.

>>5392 That's great advice, top man. >>5395 Some rest and relaxation is definitely in order. Take a good month to unwind then get yourself work experience or an apprenticeship or a graduate entry roll.

>>5405 Do you actually do anything but approach women? I'm not having a go, im honestly just wondering if you do anything else with your free time.

>>5405 Tbf lad you do sound like a bit of a public nuisance. >>5406 Rude! He also posts on imageboards about his approaching of women.

>>5406 This is just a side-hobby mate. I spend most of my time translating manga and interpreting.

>>5412 *belches at you* What now?

It feels so good to not be rushed for time and to be able to cook my own meals again lads. I had unironically ordered ch*nese "food" twice while I was finishing uni for the year, sickening really. Thinkiing about learning to make lasagna from scratch, but I'm not sure I want to pay for a pasta machine, so I might just do the sauces. >>5413 How is that possible? Did your dormant egyptian pharaoh DNA activate well into your twenties or something? >>5414 *pushes u* I SAID BACK THE FUCK OFF!!??!

>>5415 Probably because as a boy I used to get slathered in factor 50, after that I was a bit of a recluse and the past several years I haven't really engaged in outdoor activities until recently. Lasagna isn't that difficult to make if you can easily make a Bolognese sauce.

>>5416 yeah it's pretty simple outside of the pasta which I've never tried before, you can get kind of autistic about the bechamel sauce too which is fun, although in a lasagne there's only so much point in going hard with it.

>>5417 Can you? Bechamel seems fairly straightforward

>>5420 >immigration at its highest levels ever >economy in tatters >Boris under fire for incriminating WhatsApp messages >"Release ze Schofield files"

Wish I were in Nippon visiting locations from the Sea of Fertility novels and chasing cunny with translator lad tbvfhw/ul.

Went into the countryside with my dog today. Could feel the sun stinging my skin, the weather was fantastic. I found a spot shade by some trees near a river where I enjoyed a white monster, tuna sandwich and a pepperami stick. After that I just lay down and enjoyed the weather whilst my dog tried to bite the river before she got tired and lay in the shade with me.

Holly Willoughby breaks her silence as she returns to This Morning following Phillip Schofield exit Have you felt shaken, troubled, and let down lads? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUp5Lof_6WU

I was her first in 10 years and her second ever. I've never been with a virgin but I imagine it must be something like that, very difficult at first. 31. Very cute face, slightly chubby. Very feminine and submissive. I liked her personality. Seeing her again at the weekend. That's it.

>>5430 Is this the first second date you've had in Japan? Who knows, there could even be a fourth and fifth. Could this be the end of the Subway Menace?

>>5430 >Seeing her again at the weekend. That's it. gg lad >>5431 > Could this be the end of the Subway Menace? kek'd ngl

trading conquest story's ehe?? heres mine: >... have never fornicated

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a51Cfyn9X2s dont need a girlfriend or sex when you have Mary Jane

>>5433 eh? Why not lad? It's 2023 after all.

>>5436 not for want of effort mind

>>5431 No. I'm going for conveyor belt sushi with my second gf next week.

>>5437 You're not trying hard enough.

>>5439 fugg :DD

>>5438 So you have a girlfriend and you're seeing other girls?

>>5442 Trivial things like monogamy will NOT hold back the frequently fornicating fiend.

>>5442 No, I have two girlfriends.

Music Lad - what are your thoughts on James Brown. I've been listening to him obsessively lately. https://youtu.be/RQmqcaS5LIM

>>5445 One of the greats, music wouldn't have been the same without him.

>>5446 He has an enormously large discography. Can you recommend some of his lesser known work?

>>5447 None of it is lesser known at this point, but almost everything from 1967 until about 1975/1976 is a classic. There were a few remixes, megamixes, and other things in later decades that were pretty good too.

>>5445 nigger

>>5448 Got any more real funky stuff? I'm loving this. Screams, bass and trumpets.

>>5450 From James Brown, or other acts? There's all the James Brown/The J.B.'s-associated acts that often consisted of the same band, or even James Brown himself in the background: Bobby Byrd, Maceo Parker (Maceo and the Macks), Fred Wesley, Bootsy Collins, Sweet Charles, Lyn Collins, Vicki Anderson, etc. Several members of The J.B.'s later joined George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic too, which is a whole other funk rabbit hole.

>>5451 Anyone, I just can't get enough of this funky stuff Thanks

I'm getting so tanned. By the time it's August, I'll be half black.

What were you doing 10 years ago to this date?

>>5454 In June 2013 me and my dad spent a week redecorating my room, which was a bit of a journey to say the least. That was the last time my room was redecorated, so it still looks pretty much the same. I think that was the year I started going up to the job centre (or a similar place) every fortnight, which I did until late 2016. From around September 2013 I also went to a training place for 16-19 year olds to re-do my GCSEs (I was 21 but got in because "lol autism"), but that fell through on their end shortly before Christmas and that was that. That place was mong central, but I suppose I can't talk since I was there as well. Other than that, I was just a NEET hikki browsing 4chan all day everyday (mainly /v/ and the emulator generals on /vg/ at that time), watching anime, playing games, fapping to sadpanda, and doing the occasional bit of music. Around 2010-2012 I had developed a proper nasty brain fog from doing fuck all for a couple of years, to the point where I couldn't read a page of text, so in 2013 I'd started pushing myself to learn and do more. I was doing Khan Academy (didn't keep it up for long to be fair), started reading a few books on the tablet I got the previous Christmas, started dabbling in programming and electronics, was messing about with CRTs and softmodding my old consoles, tinkering with a Raspberry Pi, built my own PC for the first time; that sort of thing. Bit hard to believe that was all 10 years ago to be honest, feels more like 5.

>>5454 Playing World of Warcraft most likely.

>>5454 Working at my shitty old job probably.

Might lock the back door now instead of in an hour. What do you think?

>>5454 I was settling into neetdom and I was still with my first bf.

>>5455 /vg/ existed a decade ago? Wtf, that's still a "new" board in my mind.

>>5458 This question was already answered, use the search function next time. *locked*

>>5460 I think it was created around 2012. I only remember because I used to post in /gsg/ when it was still on /v/ before /vg/ was created and the transition happened not long after CK2's release.

>>5459 I thought you might be lupus for a brief moment until I remembered.

>>5462 It was definitely 2012 because I remember browsing the Katawa Shoujo one around then. It was released in 2012 and I quit everything anime related on my 18th birthday that same year.

>Sunday >Try to open a pack of ground beef >Can't get the film off, no knife in sight >Grab a lighter and try to melt a little hole in the film >Plastic film immediately sets on fire >Panic and blow on the fire so it doesn't ruin my beef >Little bits of burning plastic film get blown towards my face Eyebrow singed and about 6 nasty looking scabs all over my face. Lucky nothing went in my eye.

>>5454 Refusing to study for my final exams because I had decided to drop out and join the Royal Marines definitely in the top ten worst mistakes of my life

Alright lads? Haven’t posted in a few weeks, I’m on holiday at the moment! It’s the first time I’ve left Scotland as an adult. Spent four days in London drinking and looking at classical sculpture and now I’m in Munich lying in bed with a chest infection, it’s a bit shit but fortunately I was able to get antibiotics (£9.60 for a single prescription item in England, outrageous) before leaving the UK, so hopefully I’ll be patched up in a day or two. Have a nice picture I took, also. It’s of Achilles slaying Penthesilea, queen of the amazons. How’ve you lads been this summer? Keeping well? Surviving the heat?

>>5467 Had an interview at a pest control company yesterday. It went well but I was a bit reluctant after the lady interviewing said you need to be clean shaved so you can wear ventilator masks. I had a look at some of the lads who do this for the same company and half of them have facial hair. Have you decided if you're going to Greece yet?

Any of you lads got any anime you'd recommend checking out?

>>5468 Not going to Greece this time unfortunately, England, Germany, Netherlands and Sweden are the bounds of my trip. Hopefully going to be going to Paris for new years and then I can see about saving some money for Italy and Greece, desperate to see the Vatican museum and the temple of Apollo at Delphi.

>>5470 Are you travelling alone?

Did you have any controversial beliefs when you were younger that you no longer agree with now? Particularly things from 4chan that influenced you.

>>5472 I used to believe in racial equality and the holocaust.

>>5472 Most of what I was influenced by 4chan to believe I still do. Like the fact that there is nothing wrong with genocide denial or scientific "racism". However, that was also influenced by my learning from an even younger age about the 'is'-'ought' distinction. I was never influenced by *chans to be actually bigoted in the sense that I thought people who differ based on characteristics they can't choose had different moral worth. Or if I was it never stuck. I was just eventually left with a burning belief in the importance of intellectual freedom, even applied to topics that most people find abhorrent, even though said topics have no (logical) bearing on morality.

It's my birthday today.

>>5475 Happy birthday Admin, there's a thread that you should probably remove.

>>5472 I used to support Brexit. I've grown up now but it's too late.

I feel good

>>5479 Me too.

>>5477 Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday the other day. I know you didnt ask but I went to the seaside and ate some seafood in a pub on the quay. The couple behind me were making up over some argument that they had while my dog fought with the sea birds over the scraps off of our plate.

Is this it?

>>5482 Theres a little bit over there as well.

>>5480 Update: I no longer feel good. I feel really quite bad actually.

I've been playing 7 Days to Die recently, it's quite a fun game.

I ate a hot chilli pepper. I felt like I was going to be sick for ages, then hours later I had horiffic stomach cramps before I had burning hot explosive liquid shits. It was all horrendous, I could feel it passing through me so quickly. >>5481 Glad you had a good birthday. Did you get any presents?

>>5489 serves you right

Can anyone recommend any underrated lesser-known kinos? (Movies, that is).

>>5491 English or Foreign?

>>5492 I'd accept either.

Ran away from two police women today. They ran out of energy quite quickly and just started walking towards me as I walked backwards and sang a verse from It's a Man's World to them.

>"It must become clear to everybody in Britain, even to the last doleseeker, that Pakiness is equal to subhumanity. Pakis, Jews and Gypsies are on the same inferior level. This must be clearly outlined [...] until every citizen of Britain has it encoded in his subconsciousness that every Paki, whether a shop worker or prime minister, should be treated like vermin." Thoughts on this take from Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey? I think it's a bit extreme, personally.

>tfw used to listen to /mu/core, not because I liked it but 4chan users were the closest to peers I had and it made me feel like I had a clique Glad I dropped that shit and can finally listen to good music. Fucking embarrassing. The amount of Death Grips and NMH I listened to just so I could pretend I had a sense of identity. I love being older.

>>5496 Glad to hear it lad.

>>5496 I'd suggest unironically you try listening to some Mozart or Bach. Your IQ will actually go up if you do. warning Seattle is filled with libshits to the max, ofc. But they do have a rather good classical station. https://player.streamguys.com/classicalking/evergreen-3/sgplayer/player.php

That early declaration has put a taint on this ashes. Still good to see England pulling back from the brink.

>>5500 Shite, but in a nostalgic way.

>>5502 Why so?

>>5504 Kill yourself.

>>5505 That is not very nice.

>>5506 Are you the person I replied to?

What did Jung mean by "the unification of the conscious and unconscious"? What would such a unification look like to you?

>>5510 It is not necessary that the principals here be in possession of the facts concerning their case, for their acts will ultimately accommodate history with or without their understanding. But it is consistent with notions of right principle that these facts—to the extent that they can be readily made to do so—should find a repository in the witness of some third party. Jung was just such a party and any slight to his office is but a secondary consideration when compared to divergences in that larger protocol enacted by the formal agenda of an absolute destiny. Words are things. The words he is in possession of he cannot be deprived of. Their authority transcends his ignorance of their meaning.

>>5510 Looks quite odd, slanted at one angle but if you stand round to the side with the sun behind it, it looks fairly normal.

My favourite tid-bit of British history is how Henry VIII was a right little papist nerd who wrote an essay (instead of fucking bitches) on why the Pope is basically God in the flesh and why Martin Luther is a twat - to which the Pope responded by bestowing the title Defender of the Faith on Henry... Henry then wanted to get his cock wet and split up from his brother's dago ex-missus and the Pope told him to fuck off so Henry told the Pope to fuck off in such a way that changed the course of world history forever. ...And our monarchs still use the title Defender of the Faith >masterfully trolled by a Tudor

Oh no lads I just fucked your nan.

why do any people who came to 4chan after the era when /b/ was the 1st and primary draw for newfags even hold faith to the site concept? once people started following links directly to /pol/ or /v/ or /tv/ or yes even /a/ and/co/ (lets not not underestimate how weebish that website was, with /a/ and /co/ seeing far faster posting rates than more seemingly mainstream boards like /tv/ for many years) 0nce new lurkers no longer felt motivated to lurk and test their ability to hold focus on a board as fast as /b/ and instead *fundamentally always* aimed straight for shitposting and screaming boards the underlying dynamic that created the culture was doomed to die. unsurprisingly thats exactly what happened. To be fair, many of the oldest "newfags pretending to be oldfags" can carry some blame...... you can only stay "forever alone" for so long. Even thecrustiest neckbeard weebo gimps living in cages under people's beds eventually have to move out and either get a job or get arrested for sex crimes like Christian. those would be the people who were newfags when /b/ was "messing with football" and blowing up vans, or at leastwhen those events could still reliably be found on encyclopedia dramatica..... original version with normal domain, many many years befoer Weev's confusing descent and imprisonment)

I'm just gonna say it lads. I don't find Norm Macdonald funny. Now and then I see old clips of his pop up, and everyone acts like he's the funniest man ever to exist. But the jokes are mildly amusing at best, and more often just plain shit. It's not even people being kinder in hindsight because he died, as I remember people acted the exact same before that. What gives?

>>5550 Filtered.

>>5550 I don't think he's that funny either, it's mostly "it's funny because it's not funny" anti-humour.

>>5552 Yeah, that's exactly it. Only I don't find it funny when someone is deliberately unfunny. >>5551 Yeah I got filtered by Norm thinking the pinnacle of humour is saying "9/11".

>>5553 9/11

>>5554 This post is funnier than anything Norm ever said to be honest

>fapped to this loading screen back in my coomer days (the nelf you batty boy) What are some unusual things you've fapped to lads?

Taking lessons in Navajo on Duolingo. I will leave this place and become an adopted member of that tribe.

I demand a foreign wife. British women revolt me.

>>5557 >What are some unusual things you've fapped to lads? Your post lad.

>>5557 When I was much younger I fapped to the movie "Scary Movie 2". Specifically a scene where some woman seduces David Cross. I had to pause and rewind the scene quickly before it went on to Cross sucking his own dick, so that was an added element.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little muggle? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in Defence Against the Dark Arts, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on the Death Eaters, and I have over 300 confirmed stupifys. I am trained in magical warfare and I’m the top Auror in the entire Wizarding armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another Death Eater. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Floo Network? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the Wizarding World and your fireplace is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, mudblood. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my basic spells. Not only am I extensively trained in muggle combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Ministry of Magic and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn squib. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking Snape'd, kiddo.

My dad dropped me off after we went out for the day, and unusually for him he popped in for a cup of tea afterwards and to say hello to my nieces who were round. All of a sudden there's a massive bang and a constant car horn going off. We go outside to check, and some twat (woman) has only gone and driven full pelt into the side of his car. Lucky we weren't in it, but it's gutting, I just feel terrible for him. While we were on the back to mine before this, he was even talking about how he didn't just wanna have the car scrapped (it was already about 14 years old and not worth much, but it's quite nice and fairly rare, and has a lot of memories attached to it), saying he'd rather have an enthusiast have it and do it up nice. He also filled up the tank while we were out, so that's another kick in the bollocks. We nearly rearranged today's outing for tomorrow too, and the only reason the car was parked where it was is because there was no space left outside our house.

>>5578 the untested unsanctioned vaccine, produced by manufacturers who rely on the indemnity and safety by governments from prosecution in due course of the debilitating and often fatal side effects of their untested and unreliable vaccines, likely caused the crash.

>>5579 Lad, I think it's because she's a woman and a learner. My dad's been in 2 previous accidents in that car (one of which I was present for); both were prior to COVID, both were the fault of women.

Russell Brand's redemption arc has been rather uplifting. From whinging about bankers and bonuses and calling Farage a pound shop Enoch Powell he is now actually taking on the big boys in short trousers. Good show.

>>5584 Get back to me when he starts taking on the big boys in small hats.

Crimea? Cry me a river

"245 years ago we declared our independence from a distant king. Today we’re closer than ever to declaring our independence from a deadly virus. That’s not to say the battle against COVID-19 is over, we’ve got a lot more work to do. But just as our declaration in 1776 was a call to action, not a reason for complacency, or a claim of victory, it was a call to action. The same is true today." Joe Biden 2021 America's greatest president. An inspirational leader.

Me and the ol' man rode hard all day, kickin' up dust and raisin' a ruckus. Unusually, he moseys on over after and we share a swig of coffee, tip our hats to my nieces who were 'round. All of a sudden, there's a thunderous crash and a horn blarin' like a wounded bull. We step outside, and dag nabbit, some gal plumb crashed into his trusty steed. Thank the stars we weren't astride it, but it's a downright heart-wrencher. I can't help but feel plum awful for him. As we're ridin' back to the homestead earlier, he's spinnin' tales 'bout how he ain't just ready to put his old faithful down (been trotting this earth for a solid 14 years, ain't worth much, but it's got character and stories woven in), says he'd rather hand it off to a horse whisperer to spruce it up right. And by the grace of the prairie, he even filled the trough while we were out, so that's another gut punch. We were even reckonin' on postponin' today's ride to tomorrow, and the only reason that four-legged companion was hitched where it was is 'cause there ain't an inch of open range left 'round our cabin.

Bought a skateboard. Been practicing doing an ollie all afternoon in my back garden. Now that it's late, I'm going to Asda car park to practice riding with a bit more room and hopefully not many people will be able to see me. I'm having so much fucking fun.

>>5598 Top banana

>>5598 >hopefully not many people will be able to see me Pleased to hear you started lad, good on you. I used to inline skate and it was some of the most fun I've ever had. I had the same anxiety at first, but I just pushed through it and went out anyway and it generally went away. Sometimes it would still be there at the start of a session but once I was warmed up/in flow it completely vanished. Getting good helps too, but don't be afraid to go practice in car parks or something even if you're not. No one's bothered at the end of the day.

I am bruised and scratched to fuck from my skating last night but it was fantastic fun. Definitely getting the hang of it quite quickly. >>5600 What made you stop? The supermarket was carpark was still packed so I managed to find a completely empty car park outside some offices, it's completely secluded. I think I'll be spending a lot of evenings there.

>>5600 >No one's bothered at the end of the day. And even if they were, what difference does it make? Does it matter? Not unless they're getting in your face over it. In which case you have the right to self defence.

Saw a darkie this morning. Entire day ruined.

>>5601 I came to Japan. I'll pick it up again one day but life is too hectic right now.

Life gets so much better when you stop being afraid of people. Obviously that's a lot easier said than done. I never used to be able to piss in a urinal, I had to go into the cubicle. Now I can stand shoulder to shoulder at the urinals and piss without hesitation. I can do so much shit I never used to be able to do. Loving life right now.

Told my gf I wanted to fuck other girls because I missed doing approach and she was okay with it. I said I would only be emotionally involved with her (it's true - I like her a lot) and that seemed to be what swung her decision. Cut to today's date >meet her at the station 30 seconds from my apartment (I just delete them if they don't come here, too much hassle) >realize she's not my proudest approach the second I lay eyes on her. late 30s, not the milfey kind either >walk her 5 mins to Maccies >get a cheeseburger >eat my cheeseburger and chat for a few mins >talking about the UK >she says "I heard there are people who don't like foreigners in the UK" >I say "that's normal when they flood in and your neighborhoods go to shit" >feeling physically repulsed at this point, would have probably shagged her if she had feminine energy and a fun personality but I wasn't feeling it at all >say let's go for a walk >take her back to the station, don't even try and pull her back to mine >say thanks and walk away That's it.

>>5607 >Be a foreigner in another country >Be a complete menace and turn the neighbourhood to shit >Get mad that the same thing is happening in your own country

Buying a skateboard is the best thing I've ever done, I'm loving this. I've been spending every evening from finishing work until around half 10 practicing and at this point I can comfortably skate with good balance. I didn't fall on my arse once last night. Found a decent pedestrianised spot in a town centre that is recently paved and completely flat, it's perfect.

Musiclad: Is Chicane good?

>>5615 I despise Trance, but I've always thought that "Saltwater" is fairly tolerable as far as Trance goes. Takes me back to my dad taking me to swimming lessons and back when I was in primary school, though only because it was one of the few tunes constantly being played on the radio at the time. "Don't Give Up" is utter shite however, and I've just listened to some of his newer stuff and it all sounds very generic and soulless.

For example, the allegations state that the women did not come foreward because the accused at the time appeared to be "untouchable". If that is so, and I'm assuming big brother's big mouth was early mid-2000s... Would you not have at least considered getting a big STFU private settlement whether the aggrievement is or was true or not? If you had the slightest bit of evidence in the way of a co-witness or you had photos showing your presence in what are usually VIP-exclusive areas? At what point did this public figure become "touchable" in your mind, in terms of the likelihood of bringing a successful prosecution? Can you comment on any other personal or professional connections with those currently or formerly employed within the media industry? Even if this guy were a lefty, even if he's got prior nymphomania, what are the odds of this man using hard control to play with or against the consent of those accusing him? Are the odds within reason to not doubt it? I think you're either counting on a "listen and believe" woke court house, or for two dozen women to come forward, some of whom carry something at least circumstantial. You ought not to be able to bring weak shit just because he's been known for the fugg, even if that man is or was a lefty. You might as well just point a gun at a guy and politely ask for some money.

Theistic lads, how do you overcome the question of evil? "Muh free will" just doesn't cut it. The only way I can get it to make sense in my head is if I accept that God just doesn't get involved. He simply leaves us to it.

>>5648 >"Muh free will" just doesn't cut it. Since you're such an authority on the topic, please you explain it to all of us then, Anon. The Bible makes if very clear that Adam and Eve clearly, of their own free will, chose to follow Satan's beguillement and disobey God. This is evil. The outworkings of all other evil in the world stem from this one act. Glory to God however, He knew ahead of time we'd choose to be evil, and by His own sacrifice made a way of escape from the eternal damnation in hell prepared for Satan and his angels. Again, your own free will determines your eternal destiny: Either you will accept Jesus Christ's sacrifice on your behalf in obedience to Him, or you will reject that gift and follow Satan and his crew instead. Heaven or hell, you alone will decide, friend. btw, im a cunt

are we having fun yet?

>>5651 fun is for the weak

>>5651 You aren't?

>The Bible makes if very clear that Adam and Eve clearly, of their own free will, chose to follow Satan's beguillement and disobey God. This is evil. It was also designed by God, dictated by God, composed only of parts created by God and set in motion (in the motion in which they were set, their only motion) by God. It is entirely God's doing, it's God's evil. Or God isn't the all-knowing creator. Either way he's not the all-knowing all-good creator.

>>5654 Everything I've said in christ board I will repeat here. We weren't kicked out of Eden by a righteously angry God. We asked to go. The story regarding it needed to be told, because the twelve tribes were originally brutes capable of surviving the desert whose only understanding was the whip. "There's no land of plenty for you because of your sin" the prophets said, and they were correct in saying so. But you volunteered to be exposed to the temptation of sin almost immediately as soon as God established your discernment and ability to be self-aware. The reason for being "kicked out" as it were was as told as well pretty much. I don't think grandpop sinned to make God mad or without his knowing the result but because, to stop being naive toward selfless love you would need frame of reference. Both parties would have seen what was about to happen and where it would likely have to go, although, man maybe again lacked frame of reference for what it was like. The point of voluntarily dropping out of paradise was so that when you leave shithole planet, you'll have juxtaposed reference for what life and love are. Without it you'd forever be in the prescence of blinding care for you and have no idea of it's significance or what it meant, having known that and nothing else for perpetuity. >designed by God, dictated by God, composed only of parts created by God, set in motion by God But held to an agreement he and our irrevocable souls knew would have to be made, whether all-knowing and/or all-good. I'm mad at God for not giving me a trad wife but my Grandad agreed he wouldn't meddle for us so that I have to love anon by my own choice. I love you anon. Philio only no homo I'm not a heathen. You deserve to be loved anon.

>>5654 >It is entirely God's doing, it's God's evil. Or God isn't the all-knowing creator. Either way he's not the all-knowing all-good creator. Hubris much, lad? Adam had ONE JOB. If he'd managed it well, I'm rather confident God would somehow have fixed the mega shitstorm Eve set in motion.

>>5656 Look friend, if the fully literal interpretation of the old testament holds up then why did God knowingly create a man in his own image who was in turn as morally adrift as his own directionless spleen and appendix? The premise is that God knew before he even picked up the clay (figuratively speaking, again). You don't get mad, righteously so, for thIngs that you arranged to happen. My best friend lab rat ate chocolate I'd made clear was not his at the first opportunity so now I'm irate. Further to the point, I'm not sure an all-loving God gets mad at a man in any regard and not merely mad at the continuence of sin in his prescence. I believe in God, sure, but not one who acts against what's best for you at all times. It's the same reason I think hell is being stuck in a land that fits you and in what's perceivably best for you, but without communion with God.

>Adam had ONE JOB Adam's one job was to sin it seems, since that's what he was made to do and what he did at the hands of the Creator. God created the sinning adam, He created the sin; God created the action itself, not as a potential, but as a real and present part of creation since God (or at least his awareness, if we take a impotent but still omniscient creator, though He isn't impotent) is timeless. >>5655 You haven't addressed the point at all.

>>5658 Sure I did. I did not say that God invented or made sin so he could punish us for testing it with a woman and a snake. I said that man asked for sin consistently and logically, so that the virtue of communion could be understood - and to not grant it in light of that would have been wrong. If it seems ridiculous such a weak creature could bend God's arm, consider that you are loved and that you are given what is conceivably best for you. If you're still hung up about who would have the concept of sin in their head first, I would say God most likely, but knowing what it was going to be and when it was going to be asked for and how much insistence was going to be used does not affect the benevolence. It really doesn't. I'm given this experience of what is compared to time a drop in the ocean, that's wholly unpleasant and awful and seemingly absent of God but I'm given it to learn truth, or the meaning of truth and God's intervention in any way to throw or manipulate that learning has been all but banned by my ancestry. Benevolently. With proper intentions behind that. It's something you'll learn if you ever get into the God club, is the gratitude for the most basic shit imaginable. I'm alive, and I get to eat, and I get to talk to anon. Go and see the stroke ward at the clinic. Go and see the respiratory unit. I'm not given a better experience than they for being God's chosen™ but simply because the lesson I needed to learn is different in some way. And I can be grateful even if I don't do joy. A religion (any of them) should never, ever weaken you - it's verboten, but atheism does. It doesn't mandate skull smashing or child sacrifice but it lets weak thought get into you. People vaguely feign to care about redemption. Noboby cares.

>Sure I did. Not at all. You don't even understand the question, mistah 'the glory of man is greater than the Glory of God'. If there is sin (evil) whatsoever, then it's knowing creator can't be all good and all powerful. That's the problem of evil, which you haven't addressed whatsoever. Of course, your incoherent whining is also all contradicting itself. >I did not say that God invented or made sin But He did, as you agree. >I said that man asked for sin consistently and logically Which is an act of God, and no other. So, God asked for sin? >so that the virtue of communion could be understood >so that So, in your view, God is INCAPABLE, He is POWERLESS, to communicate the value of communion without creating evil? >and to not grant it in light of that would have been wrong Why is the Creator subject to the laws of Creation (hint: He's not)?

>>5652 I think fun makes you strong it gives you something to live for, not that I'd know >>5653 Im having buckets of fun and oodles of sarcasm

Not religious myself but i will say if you want people to get interested in your beliefs telling them the benefits of them is a better tactic than having pedantic arguments about niche aspects of that religion

>>5662 >"I'll take 'What is le ebbing troles?' for 1'000, Alex." Fellowship, for all eternity, with Jesus Christ Himself is the chief benefit for believers Anon. Not burning, for all eternity, in a literal lake of fire whose smoke ascends forever is the chief benefit for non-believers, I'd say.

>>5663 being snarky and condescending is really good way to get people to agree with you, well done

>do good works your entire life >don't believe in jesus >spend eternity burning in hell cool totally true religion that isn't just designed to intimidate room temperature IQs into following it bro

>>5665 If you were born into a world where you had no access to information besides your local community, you can tell why is was so convincing.

>>5664 Roughly-speaking, simply replying in kind newfriend. And what matters if you agree with me or not? Our """agreement""" has little bearing on your eternal destiny. I'm simply sharing the facts. But just in case you're that new, and you honestly are blaming victims here, then please forgive me for not serving it up in just the fashion you desire. btw, im a cunt

>>5660 Glory of man being greater than the glory of God was not said by me, and I think it's insincere to extrapolate that from my commentary that God will do as you ask from the view of manifest Agape. The argument over who conceptualised sin first would be an interesting one, if it offered any basis for changing perspective on the benevolence of a creator God. Since invention of a theory, or a potential state of condition is not the same as to manufacture or product it, it doesn't. You seem to be blaming God for making this undesired element of social conscience, when he merely provided your grandpop with the blueprint and the means for it's manufacture. It's not the same as malevolent evil, nor naivety. On your point that the intent of an invention requesting to have sin is the same as that of the intent of it's creator, since it's creator knew that sooner or later it would; consider that you are the creator and that your robot asked YOU for autonomy, which included you not intervening in the right to get hurt or to hurt others. And you knew eventually it would ask. Would you say that both you the creator and your created object both share the same intent? In terms of what they and you want, or what they were/are trying to do? Because it seems to me that you're saying a son and heir's intent is identical to that of their father's because the father shaped his child and knew his future proclivity. As for God being incapable or impotent or not all-powerful, consider that you were created in this or that form, but demanded the right to then further build yourself into whatever you should see fit because to be truly loved it could not be denied. Do you reckon it a question of power to break the logic gate involved in that choice? Given it's a general law of the Quakers to offer up no compulsion what would you do, if found to be in the position of wearing God's shoes? Bearing in mind you have the means to break every physical law there is. I take it you have in mind something. I'm at six blocks already, but the point is that my beliefs are this way because of my history of hard disbelief. I've been in exactly the spot of definitely no God, for a majority of life, and I attack my own belief from a position as if still being there. The basic evil problem troubles me not. There are others that are bigger and scarier once you try to address, say, complex evil problems. How can you learn truth or life or love if your experience of life was to die a fetus, for example? You're left saying "well some souls require not the same experiences, when all are sent." These things have to be subject to the same scrutiny and they bother me, but not the basic problem of evil. The curriculum for high schoolers was written not just by Godless but the Godless vetted for their stupidity. They took the vaccines or they were out of the job, for one. No one with their right mind or their right dignity would still be in their line of work. They don't care what's best for you. Matter of fact if they are deceiving you in social sciences, they are probably deceiving you in religious studies and every other studies. You know it's true. Sorry for the funposting (longposting). I've been sincere but a terribly blusterous rambler.

>>5665 >do good works your entire life Sorry but which 'good works' are those you speak of? >"Each of us has become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind." No human is righteous before a holy God. If you're trying to get into eternal life by good works, then you are condemned already. Repent lad. https://www.biblehub.com/isaiah/64-6.htm

>>5665 You'll have to argue with literalist anon for that, godless anon. I believe hell is just God trying to make you as happy as possible, without your belief in him. I could be getting my nut off with 42 buxom virgins in hell, everyday, but I would henceforth never know communion with God as being godless that was how I grew to understand happiness. I don't believe God would subject your soul to eternal torment. I think those speaking to prophesise it were grasping at God eventually or immediately taking your soul and pushing the eternal delete button on you, but compared to never getting to experience God ever, it just seemed like supplemental loss already, given I'm one of the faithful nowadays. I also think that if you do die a believer and then upon measurement of your soul, belief was found to have no material or behavioral difference whatsoever on the way you lived your life then you will be rejected from communion. This is something I think the Methodists might understand better than I do.

>>5667 Where do you get off calling people new while writing like a 2016 election tourist? >>5668 >Glory of man being greater than the glory of God was not said by me If you believed in the omniscience of God (which you don't) then it'd have been implied, not literally but merely in likeness to Irenaeus' fallacious argument. This is to say, it was a joke which would not have gone over your head if you were either familiar with the (controversies surrounding the) church father's treatment of this topic, or more pertinently the conversations on /christian/ last time that board was even vaguely usable (a year ago now?). So indeed, I must ask, in your own conceited tone: where do you get off calling people new? >The argument over who conceptualised sin first would be an interesting one, if it offered any basis for changing perspective on the benevolence of a creator God. Well it does, so it is by your own words. >Since invention of a theory, or a potential state of condition is not the same as to manufacture or product it, it doesn't. They are precisely the same for God. There's an entire system of metaphor (seperate for each major denomination, since they're rhetorical devices and so vary by the lingua franca) expounding this idea that's employed by scripture and elaborated by church traditions because it's a fundamental consequence of His omniscience and omnipotence. There are only things that He has invented, and they exist and act only by His grace. If we are aware of something, it is His creation and His creation alone. There is no other actor, no second creator. >You seem to be blaming God for making this undesired element of social conscience, when he merely provided your grandpop with the blueprint and the means for it's manufacture. He also provided my grandpop (to the universe), and the blueprint, and the system of mechanics underlying the mechanism of the blueprint and the grandpop both, and individually, personally, created, set in motion, and carried out every aspect of every moment of existence leading to this point and this point itself, holistically, entirely, by His hand alone founding, orchestrating, actuating, resolving, every event discussed or inferred by this or any other example. The evil is entirely God's act. It is entirely God's creation (unless you're claiming that He is not the creator?) and it moves entirely through His action (unless you're claiming that He is neither the creator nor the prime mover?) >Would you say that both you the creator and your created object both share the same intent? God doesn't have intent. Why are you so insistent on trying to apply the laws of the created to the Creator? >The basic evil problem troubles me not. There are others that are bigger and scarier once you try to address, say, complex evil problems. You can't count to one. The "basic" doesn't trouble you because you can't even string words together to form a sentance that you can parse. You're a chatbot from the year 2006. >I've been sincere You fundamentally lack the capability.

>>5669 Are you suggesting there's no such thing as good works? Or are you a priori ruling out the possibility of good works outwith the Abrahamic religious view?

>>5672 Shan't be reading all this x

>>5672 >calling you a newfriend That was literalist anon. I'm austere protestant anon. >not getting the joke That's fine not every joke has to land all the time >they exist and act only by His grace That means "to be permitting". You were made with the ability to start reprogramming things. For good, or for malice, or benignly, unless you believe St. Paul that everything not done for good is done for malice instead. That you get to exist or act only by His grace (in entirely fucked up ways) is because "it is his will" to let you. It is his will to let you because you asked to do that, and it's the job of a paternal father not to intervene for you. If you want a mother Gaia cult instead, then congratulations you get to have that intervention again and be sheltered. From everything, including positional reference for things like truth. >God doesn't have intent That's an argument over whatever the linguists define it as. I thought your whole argument was that if God made thing, and knew it would do another thing, then his intent was both to make thing and to do another thing. I'm saying that knowledge of the intent does not mean that the intent was shared. If you agree with the former, then you share in agreement with North Korea and other places where they put the parents of a dissident in the dock because they mentally raised the dissident to be that way and the guilt is for harboring a fugitive. I'm saying that God made you and, unlike in the literal creation mythology, anticipated your rebellion but wasn't mad, merely disappointed that you didn't seem capable to rewrite your own programming immediately, but must do so out of communion. Even if he fuckin knew. His grace as it were is of a paternal variety i.e. "do better". That is all. I think the reason he called you a fresh 'n' easy is because you rely on these simple logic puzzles that don't even disturb a man. But if I'm wrong on these points, then how come society, which is ABSOLUTELY wrong and has and will lie to you before and repeatedly;- how come they absolutely agree with what you agree with? Bear in mind their elites hate your guts and want to see you hurt or killed and too reckon themselves big brained and smarter than everyone else. If you're right, how come you're fine on having agitprop parity with them lot? >sincerioris incapabilis no Ümlaut

>>5676 >you Not everyone other than you in the world is me, ironically enough. >That's fine not every joke has to land all the time Well, that( it didn't land)'s why I explained it. >For good, or for malice, or benignly, unless you believe St. Paul that everything not done for good is done for malice instead. Everything not perfectly good is not perfectly good, yes. >I thought your whole argument was that if God made thing, and knew it would do another thing, then his intent was both to make thing and to do another thing. I'm saying that knowledge of the intent does not mean that the intent was shared. God doesn't have intent. God doesn't have a temporal frame of reference. God doesn't (just) create a man, who will go on to do a thing. He creates the man, and the man doing the thing, and the thing ("the thing" in the context of this conversation being sin/evil). Intent is descriptive anyhow, it is observation, it isn't prescriptive. Describing the intent of the man is, as you say, a problem of language. The point is that evil exists, God is the (sole) creator, so God created evil. God is omniscient and omnipotent (apparently two things you don't believe), so there isn't any sort of applicable context or causality to this. God created evil, so God isn't all good. I don't see how this argument could not be airtight or how you could possibly struggle to grasp it (unless you're doing so intentionally, e.g. because you don't believe God is omniscient and/or omnipotent but want to claim you do through rhetorical trickery, and are simply floundering around failing to do so). >If you agree with the former, then you share in agreement with North Korea and other places where they put the parents of a dissident in the dock because they mentally raised the dissident to be that way and the guilt is for harboring a fugitive. I agree with the metatheory that if you engineer a situation you are responsible for that situation, yes. If I shoot you with a gun you'd seek redress against me because doing so is purposeful, whereas redress against the firearm or the bullet or the powder is less so. The issue with the NKs is the execution. I don't partake in their motivation regardless because I don't share their goal (which is, I presume, the continuation of the present state of their state and it's power structure etc.) but they also lack e.g. a useful means of determining what actions to take to futher that goal anyhow. >I'm saying that God made you and, unlike in the literal creation mythology, anticipated your rebellion but wasn't mad, merely disappointed that you didn't seem capable to rewrite your own programming immediately How can God be dissapointed? He got what He wanted because He made it exactly as it is and in no other way for His own purposes. There's no variability here. >rewrite your own programming Unambiguously, this (that this could be possible) is a claim that the glory of man is greater than the Glory of God. Which really does seem to be your platform. If I extend the benefit of the doubt and pretend that that isn't what you just said, then you're claiming that He was disappointed that we did the thing that He created us to do exactly as He created us to do, in precisely the way and at the time that we were created doing so, so why is He disappointed? >but must do so out of communion If we pretend that this statement means anything, then that we must is His work and His design in every regard. >Even if he fuckin knew Which he did. >His grace as it were is of a paternal variety i.e. "do better". Why do you insist on ascribing the properties of the created to the Creator? His grace is of the variety of being the basis of all things. The things that we do are the things that He makes us do, no others. >I think the reason he You. >I think the reason he called you a fresh 'n' easy is because you rely on these simple logic puzzles that don't even disturb a man I think the reason he was a disingenuous faggot is because he's a disingenuous faggot. But unlike yourself he's just trolling and/or a federale, rather than huffing his own farts. >But if I'm wrong on these points You haven't made any points, except claiming that man can do what God can't. >then how come society, which is ABSOLUTELY wrong and has and will lie to you before and repeatedly;- how come they absolutely agree with what you agree with? What the fuck is this even supposed to mean? Who is this society? What do they agree with? Sure, most people if pressed will admit to casual deism. Is your platform that you so rebelliously cling to that there is no divine creator? >If you're right, how come you're fine on having agitprop parity with them lot? Why wouldn't I be? The use of e.g. valid syllogisms as a tool of reasoning isn't something I have any reason to abandon just because some wankers also happen to partake of the same manner of reasoning. >I'm austere protestant anon. It's bizarre that you claim this when your platform seems to be more like Moses', with a failable God you can argue with (and win arguments with) rather than a perfect creator. You're a pagan. You're not a protestant, you're not even a christian. Alternatively, as said, you're fundamentally incapable of reasoning and are just the equivalent of a hacked out autocomplete.

>>5677 >Everything not perfectly good is not perfectly good, yes. But that's not what he said, he gave me a logic gate where everything not done in order to please God is a sin so that when I helped little Audrey cross the street just on the whim I was really being a cunt. >God doesn't have a temporal frame of reference With no temporal reference, if man is a machine that runs with the ability to throw a bit or two, then the way it would appear to God is as if that bit were in each state simultaneously... in a ludicrous branch out of my argument into multiverse theory, along with grasping at the idea of man requesting creation of the devil in order for the right to throw the bit via malice.

If God does it to you, it's sense of scale is undone and it's sense of gratitude is artificial, since you were but injected with it. That's not the same as to lack power. You know this. You've been facetious. >we must do so outside of communion, and that we must is His work and His every design What I'm telling you is that there was no kicking and screaming fall from grace but your ancestry was cool with it and knew what it was for, and if you sin after that it's because you have autonomy. >Why do you insist on ascribing the properties of the created to the Creator? If God's love had the nature of maternalism, then we would not be where we are here, nor would reality reflect "do better" moreso than "be safe". >huffing farts You know GCSE papers used to contain the omni-popolopollous, simple logic gate arguments? 8th graders used to learn them.

You will not know what anything really is. You don't. Just as God is capable of creating the completed godlike-man (in the future) as promised by scripture, he is also capable of creating the completed godlike-man outright. All things are possible to Him. >That programming has to be done by you. So my glory is greater than the Glory of God? Why do you so insist that I am capable of greater feats of cognition and creation than the Creator? >If God does it to you, it's sense of scale is undone and it's sense of gratitude is artificial, since you were but injected with it. As artificial as the literal grace and glory of God? What the fuck is this inane naturalist bullshit that somehow positions God as lesser than your nature cult? It's shit like this that makes it clear that you're just writing things with no actual coherence, that there is no meaning to be found in this lazily generated rambling. >If God's love had the nature of maternalism, then we would not be where we are here, nor would reality reflect "do better" moreso than "be safe". >>Why do you insist on ascribing the properties of the created to the Creator? >It's one of the ways I know I'm a-fuckin-correct. It has literally no bearing on the correctness of arguments. You literally cannot count to one. It's incredible. >Sure, apart from the monotheism You're as much a pagan as any other pagan monotheist, that's not a contradiction. Or, to be more precise, you don't actually believe in God whatsoever and simply aren't a theist, merely someone that makes rituals to finite and mortal spirits. >Just say I'm a faggot anon it's alright you can say it. I thought that was implied when I called you a pagan. You're less so a faggot and more just an outright nigger though.

>>5681 *sharts in your face* What now, huh?

>>5681 >ah shit the animator chose everything for me I'd love to subscribe to your hard determinism and it's chad unbreakable arithmetic, but I think we have autonomy and I've told you why I think we have autonomy. >not perfectly good is evil, tying your shoes is evil, shoes cause that evil partisan paternalism Then maybe after you've flopped your big dictionary on the table for me you could also maybe give an example that not only illustrates your point but fits with material reality, rather than making every day to day interaction seem preposterous. You and Pauli m8 you've all the bluster. >still mad that man would request or even require sin Don't get mad at me for that - it's your ancestors who had reasons for doing it. You know we could be arguing about why we didn't retain anything like ingrained memory or something I've not had to already think about before... if it didn't outrage you to entertain the mere thought of it in the first place. >my observations are weak but my arguments are sound To describe one in unpleasant terms is to argue a point. A very simplistic, almost unrelated you might say, litmus paper for the quality of your other arguments, sort of point. >You don't have an argument Get to accepting that God loves you and never stopped loving you. >God is capable of creating godlike-man who loves him all of the time Yeah, and if you impair my development, then I'll love you too anon. >I am the great hand of Prometheus because I can provide something God can't That's true. You can learn truth in your own terms so that then, you can provide volition. It's hard to believe in I reckon but it isn't hard at all to grasp the point. >maddest ramblings of an AI generator that's into naturism Look anon. I want a trad wife. Not a robot. Not a new age spiritualist. Not a cat girl for domestic ownership. Please anon I need this one. I'll learn your determinist mumbo jumbo, anything, but I really really want that God fearing wife. t. a robot >suddenly I forgot I'd made the point about comparing God with His material things Then it's a good job God loves you the way a Father does and can tell you to "do better". >merely pagan monotheist who makes rituals to finite and mortal spirits You're closer with this one and not just the trad wife bluster either, I'm an addict who just got here by accident. But I'll pray tonight. What's finite or mortal I don't know. Why I'm here, after arguing about it ITT a bunch of times, don't really know. But I've a structure to make sense of reality. It's not great. Does the job though. Holds up without me having to go "ur just a Satanist™" or "you are nitpicking and biased I win". >more just an outright nigger Let's be niggers in heaven, anon. >>5682 Yeah, eat shit you shitter

Shan't be reading any of this.

Just fucking hate everything, how did this happen i used to be happy. I dont think its my fault in hindsight it was always goi g to be like this. Thakyou for reading my disjointed ramble

>>5683 Shut up

Stop what you're doing and look at the moon right now. It's so bright it may hurt your eyes.

>>5694 why should i, you just told me it might hurt

>>5696 Because it's rare you see the moon so bright. It was a magnificent sight.

>get promised a music stream by musiclad over 7 years ago >Still hasn't delivered

>>5701 Never promised one lad, and I recall asking what a "music stream" would even consist of, and not receiving a proper answer.
