>>11990 You can date me (if you're a girl). I would be too thankful to ever cheat on you. I don't have a speech impediment but I stutter sometimes because I forget the word I'm looking for sometimes.

>>11992 Wow I got totally ghosted on my dating offer

>>11981 No advantages, from what I have noticed. Maybe some people think that mutism is cute -another Hikarin said so about stuttering- but most people would treat me as if I was retarded when I was still mute. People would often times grab hold of my notepad, that I used to communicate with, when I spoke to them, which was very stressful. I recently remembered that I actually had a.a.c. cards as a child; some of the problems were evidently apparent when I was younger; I have even received a pair of anime-themed ones as a teenager, which wasn't too long ago, but I never used them. >>11992 >>12016 You come across as creepy when you ask female strangers, on an anime forum, to date you, and in a thread about speech impediments, out of all things.

>>12021 >You come across as creepy when you ask female strangers, on an anime forum, to date you Maybe, but how else am I supposed to date a hikarin or find a date at all? I have to put myself out there if I want any luck. Also people who like anime don't exist here (south carolina), so I have bad luck when trying to find a soulmate

can't spell out a certain common sound it's how my inner mouth is shaped. can follow all the mouth and tongue instructions to a t but it's not working family made fun of me for that. I moved out I just bite the bullet. and cut contacts or treat the person like garbage if I'm made fun of for this

I forgot to pick up my daily rewards in Arknights Endfield and I want to sleep, that's all.

I know this is a bit norman of me but I have been playing quite a bit of Overwatch recently. They have made some good changes recently and the next season is changing quite a lot, I am looking forward to it.

i find it funny overwatch 2 just became overwatch 1 very funi

>>11810 HIKARIN I AM STRAIGHT

>>11815 Straight as a dick

>>11816 WHAT

hm.

>>11713 Me? Well...

I'm 34, live with my parents, and have no income of my own.

>>12013 my work philosophy is "do as little work as possible while making a comfortable living" and to that end i am doing pretty well. my job is very easy but pays well for what it is. i study mostly at my job (online college) but i am a huge procrastinator. i do not have really any issues with peers or superiors,nor do i intend to, i just go to work for a paycheck and skirt around drama. drama is tiring and usually completely trivial.

>>12017 I think this is a really cool routine. I think I like your philosophy.

>>12015 It's a little sad

>>12015 Just get on welfare.

Kissu seems to be doing a New Years gikopoipoi meetup. Check it out here: https://kissu.moe/jp/thread/105688 Remember to make plans for New Year's Day/Night as we hang out in Gikopoi again, as is tradition. If you're someone that has plans to try streaming stuff like anime or games or audio, now is the time to do the troubleshooting because it can be very annoying to set it up since you have to convert the mic signal to some sort of emulated audio thing. Anyway, I hope to see you there. Remember to be on your best hikarin behavior because we'll be interacting with other communities! We must ensure a hikarin cultural victory! https://gikopoipoi.net/ Be there and be square.

>>1079 To clarify, this is an image/textboard/IRC-wide event and gikopoi also has its own community that hangs out there daily. It's a good chance to interact with lots of different dorks from different backgrounds (with a general shared interest that you would expect). You may want to go to the website now to make yourself familiar with it, although it's quite simple.

23:30 UTC ON FEBRUARY 8TH THE GREATEST SHOW ON TURF WILL BEGIN. TO PREPARE THE HIKARI MIND FOR THIS, SOME INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED BEFOREHAND TO BETTER ENJOY THE EVENT — ITENERARY 22:30 WE WILL BEGIN WITH A DIGESTIF OF THE BATTLE ATHELETES OVA TO PREPARE YOUR MENTAL PALETTES FOR COMPETITION AND MENTAL SPARRING 23:00 I WILL TEST A FEW STREAMS TO VERIFY EVERYTHING WORKS AND WE HAVE A BACKUP IN CASE THE INEVITABLE HAPPENS 23:30 THE GAME BEGINS!!! (it is recommended to bring libations of your own to the event, perhaps even a few BIIIIRU) — Questions before the fact — Can I join to hang out? sure! HANG OUT WITH US!!! What are the rules for football? too many to count, and more like English law with it's precedents than a French code. you don't need to know much about them, especially on such short notice. I have linked a youtube video for your needs, but you can also play NFL2K5 or Madden rom for any console from the 16 bit era onwards to see these rules in action

https://youtu.be/iU3KIlOCiG0 [Embed]

Can we watch association football instead? i would be more than gratified to watch another sporting event with you guys, provided they also stream anime before the event, make a thread a week before and properly promote the event. until that happens *shrug* stream link? https://cytu.be/r/sushistream BE NAIS or BE BAP'D

>>1081 I am a bit confused as to what this event actually is. A sportsball vidya event?

probably the kizumonogatari series for me. the animation was really good imo.

Top 5 anime that I watched in 2025: 1. Nichijou 2. Welcome to the NHK 3. Azumanga Daioh 4. City the Animation 5. Girls' Last Tour Honorable Mentions: - Darling in The FranXX (rewatch): Motivated me to watch more anime again - Uma Musume Series - Rascal Does Not Dream Series: Rewatched Bunny Girl Senpai and Dreaming Girl, then continued onwards from the movies after, and then Santa Claus

>>1793 I need to watch welcome to the NHK\ >>1791 LOTGH

I watched one anime in 2025

>>1082 Because of retarded roody-poos like you who don't do anything but complain instead of actually doing something about it and actually making meaningful contributions. If it's dead then fucking share it with people who might be interested or post about it somewhere. Asking and complaining "wHy is the siTe so dEad?!" doesn't do anything.

>>1082 I will say the same thing I do every time someone comes and says this. The site experiences fluctuations of activity and this is normal. For an altchan Hikari3 is doing decently wel. The hikarin above me is right also.

>>1082 I think because the users themselves need to engage in advertising and attract new, cool users who spend their days lying under a blanket on a laptop and writing lines under threads

>>1085 spreading the word of Hikari-chan is good too. i actually got a couple of my friends to start using the site. i sometimes plug it on social media and such too.

>>1085 >I think because the users themselves need to engage in advertising and attract new, cool users who spend their days lying under a blanket on a laptop and writing lines under threads Seems like the case. Too many retards like the first hikarin who just think that being mean is going to be conducive to a thriving community. Even worse when their ilk is given a broom. As they will do nothing but abuse it while admins don't care and then feign ignorance when their equivalent of a dead dicksword server has no one there. So anons can really shut the fuck up about the "good ol days of imageboards" when their attitudes and catastrophizing is what made that era end and keeps any future good eras from happening. All they do is just accept the normie cliques that are just here as tourists and then when they inevitably move on you have no community left because you alienated everyone and they were all consolidated into dicksword or elsewhere. You really are your own worst enemies.

how much cyberbullying would it take to make Tomoko a lolcow if she were real

i don't believe in ghosts or anything but i remember i used to watch a TON of Ghost Adventures as a kid, which was a TV show where a guy went to haunted places. he was so cool to my 11 year old mind.

>>12006 i wanted to go to this haunted place with a friend recently idk why its easier to go with someone else than by yourself

>>28 Art doesn't have rules and because of this contemporary art has become worthless. The idea of art not having rules is romantic but in reality it should still have standards.

>>30 >worthless I disagree, they're great for money laundering mutual financial aid between my friends ! The black square is the most beautiful painting ever

>>30 What could you possibly achieve by making art have standards? That goes completely against what art is. Standards are for things that have to be reliable and understood internationally. Art doesn't need that, because people don't "need" art. It's the one fucking thing that's not controlled or limited and you want it to have rules. >art not having rules is romantic, but in reality Yes, exactly, it is romantic, and there is no "reality", it's fucking art, man.

>>28 You fail to recognize that music theory (and any scientific theory,) are not rules set in stone for others to follow. Rather, it is abstractions which develop from the practise of the subject. Expressing emotions is very much a way of conveying certain information, namely, one's feelings. >>43 Art is culturally important. It is also heavily censored and controlled world-wide, as it serves a great tool for propaganda and is tied to certain cultures.

>>43 >art doesn't need standards! >anywway, here's my magnum opus, "Brown Shit Streak on White Background", starting bid is 750,00$. >meaning? talent? what's that? it's art because.... it just is okay! so tiring

I am having too many erotic dreams recently because I don't masturbate. Give me a romantic partner with many erotic dreams so we can fulfill them together!

I need a cute boy in my life.

I have already jumped 340 times today for exercise, and I jump at least 100 times a day as warm up. Therefore, in the past 3 days, I have jumped at least 340+100(3-1) times, which yields, at minimum, 540 jumps. Now, the woman I wish for would have to be the very beautiful Ladyrin reading this (and yes you are a woman, put on the maid dress.)

>>11993 same for me sometimes, hikarin, i had a uti and my sleep schedule was messed up for a few days

i have been taking magnesium supplements recently and i have been sleeping like a corpse... it feels so nice...

>>11996 it's sad that I'm not helped by magnesium or other pills, I don't know what's wrong with me, but I made a joke of setting the time on my computer to +2 from the local and +- I now live with the regime of going to bed not at 2 a.m. but at 12 p.m. >>11997 I'm happy for you, I'll make sure you sleep like the dead.The kids tried to wake me up for 4 hours, playing music on the taps under my ears.

>>12000 >or other pills Belive me Hikarin, there are other pills!

>>12000 have you talked to da doctor about it? what did they say or recommend?

>>1806 What if you vibe code?

>>1807 Vibe cope

>>1806 sorry hikarin i don't know perl

>>1733 here! i love both builds!, imo, if you feel comfortable i cant stress this enough, check ebay or facebook for second hand barely used or new parts, people throw stuff away for insanely cheap! especially right now. if youre worried about money you might be able to pick up a part or two youre interested in that someones throwing away for pennies, only downside is that you may not get warranty, which can be a deal breaker for some. not to blog on but if i used my build for example, brand new would have cost me over 4k AUD, but i bought 3/4 of it off facebook either brand new or barely used and i only spent around 2.3, just food for thought

>>1708 I buy thinkpad G50 from street vendor for 10 eurobuck and it just work, it even upgraded to the max by previous user, even SSD. What more need?

Are Thinkpads really worth it? I have the opportunity to buy one for 387 USD, around 8gb of RAM and refurbished

>>1817 overpriced worth it if cheaper

>>1817 Don't spend more than $100 on a Thinkpad.

>>114 English is my 2nd language, actually! Tried to learn Japanese, Russian, French and German over the years, but none of that really worked out

>>114 Chinese

>>114 English is my second language, and i'm studying japanese atm. But learning english and japanese so far have been 2 completely different experiences; I learned the former pretty much through osmosis and too much time spent on imageboards, but I'm quite literally having to grind to get any semblance of progress in the latter. Still lots of fun though, the language is fun to learn in general. >>297 I think the biggest advantage of being a native portuguese speaker, or BR portuguese at least, is the wide range of kinds of sounds in the language, which makes learning the phonology(?) of other languages much easier. I never had trouble pronouncing japanese words, for example, because we have 1:1 equivalents in BR portuguese for all of those sounds. Pronouncing french or german words isn't particularly difficult for me either. >>301 It has always been grammar for me lol. A lot of times I can understand what each word in a sentence means individually, but not know how to string them together to understand the bigger, general structure of that sentence.

>>11832 Sleep too much, and ye get fired Sleep too little, and ye get tired and get fired Sleep normally, and ye get tired and want to go to the other extremes HOW DOES SOMEONE SLEEP

>>11976 is so expensive no never checked ou tmyself

>>36 I find it hard to believe that they don't have some form of consciousness. This might just be pure sophistry, but when I look into an animal's eyes, I see always see something looking back at me. Curiosity, fear, worry, I'd say that most of the feelings that animals have are negative ones, especially wild animals, but that doesn't dilute the fact that they have those feelings. A predator on the verge of starvation will go against instinct and desperately attack something they know they can't fight, just for a chance at a meal. A prey on the verge of death will still try to fatally wound the predator, making it a pyrrhic last meal. I don't think they view the world anywhere near us, with heightened levels of thought, but they are present in the world and conscious, that's what I believe.

the problem with this question from a materialistic standpoint is we aren't fully sure how the consciousness came to be. like, the scientific community isn't sure how or why humans developed a conscious. my guess would be animals lack the sophisticated level of abstract thinking we do. consciousness requires awareness of one's self, their place in the world around them, and their needs/emotions in a way that animals lacking human intellect cant fully emulate.

>>10848 Is that mayo on her face?

I like mayo.

It smells good, it feels good, and it tastes good. But it hurts like hell when it's on one of your eyes.

>>10848 I like it although I would recommend avoiding miracle whip. That stuff had ruined the concept of mayonnaise entirely because of how much sugar is in it.

mayo is gudo. i did not like it growing up but as an adult i like it a lot! i had some on a chicken sandwich earlier today. wow that girl in OP pic used the mayo REALLY wrong!

Why does this hikarin need to establish communication with its neighbors? It seems that approaching them would be too intrusive, so its better to wait for them to show interest. If you're doing it just because, it doesnt make sense. Are you hoping to build connections for the future?

>>11949 >Why does this hikarin need to establish communication with its neighbors? It seems that approaching them would be too intrusive There is an old saying, a close neighbor is better than a relative far away, I feel like not making friends with neighbors is a bit dumb.. I don't know.. I wouldn't know if it's common to not make friends with neighbors in an apartment block. >so its better to wait for them to show interest. If you're doing it just because, it doesnt make sense. Are you hoping to build connections for the future? I managed to wish them an evening today, so I think I did well! They waved off when they went into their room, I was picking up food when I came across them and they smiled after I wished them, then went inside. I just don't know if they're ever free to speak to for longer periods. I'm hoping to make friends with them, I wonder if they feel alone similar to me, I guess to speak and connect to someone reliable or help them if they ever want anything. I don't know why I psychologically think this way, but I guess it is a desire to connect and get to know others, what do you think Hikarin?

I dont think a couple would feel lonely. Besides, truly lonely people dont often leave their homes. Older people like it when younger people are interested in helping them or having simple conversations, so its easier to get closer to them, and theyre more open-minded. If you helped that old man, I'm sure he remembers you. The next time you see him, you can try to strike up a simple conversation with him, asking about his life. It should be subtle, and you might be able to help him again.Why didnt you know your neighbors until now, Hikarin?

>>11951 Thank you Hikarin! I got to know them only recently, I moved in over here a few weeks ago.. The grandpa had it a bit hard in that his voice is rough, so I mostly spoke a lot while helping him.. is there any way to connect with truly lonely people? I never know of them, or when they go out..

Lonely people find refuge on the Internet, in places like this, I think. In reality, such people are more fearful and therefore it is difficult to make contact with them. It will be easier to get to know those people with whom you live on the same floor at the beginning. While you have moved quite recently, you will not be considered strange, perhaps they will only think that you are not familiar enough, you should not be shunned. Try to be polite and greet those tenants whom you see. Going back to the topic of single people, it's also difficult in reality because it would be very awkward for both of you. It depends on how unsocialized people you would like to interact with are.

>>33 How does she live like now? These people have to be so insecure in reality

>>34 That was actually what I learned last year. She even has a boyfriend who loves her quite a bit acts like nothing has happened. I've occassionally fantasized about her being a successful celebrity or something of high status so that I could ruin the lives of those she is close with,

>>37 I feel it too anon. I hate how these people are the ones who go to the top and don't remember what they did to most people around them. The silver lining is that they are probably more broken inside and that they will probably mess up badly in the future, maybe karma is building up to bite them in the back? I still believe good will win, even if evil reigns for long.

>The silver lining is that they are probably more broken inside and that they will probably mess up badly in the future, maybe karma is building up to bite them in the back? I still believe good will win, even if evil reigns for long. Like I said, If we want good to win, Then it's on us to push for it rather than just hoping that good will win. As Joshua Graham would say, "You can't except God to do all the work". It's on you to make that change.

>>39 that's true, I heard of a parable where God condemned people who did not do much with their time, despite having the ability to do better, over time, I feel like I've realized that I have too money and too little time, it sucks

hello this is my desktop

i like lisp

no one play this game to talk about it with me

I've only played the FF games on the SNES After that I don't really find a lot of them interesting, although I'm not that much of an RPG guy. Because it needs a lot of commitment, and usually I prefer smaller games.

Please, begin. It's a nightmare to setup, write everytjing down, but please begin. FFXI is unlike anyother MMO I've played. Its scope, immersion, depth, and god it feels like a time capsule to the 2000s, instant comfy nostalgia. I've been playing on and off since 2020, it's worth trying! And, also look into private servers for a more cozy experience.

>>11871 yakuza hikarin......

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

>>11927 THE TRUTH HAS COME OUT

This one book i found that is about some really detailed medical problems some people had in the past, mostly really stupid people such as a guy that swallowed 50 knives for fun. I take this book with me sometimes and i show it to people just to disgust them.

I have been reading a lot more lately, which is good. I am almost finished with Yukio Mishima's Sea of Fertility series. It's nothing short of beautiful. I am not the same person after reading Runaway Horses. Temple of Dawn piqued my interest in Buddhism, so I checked out a book titled "Essence of Buddhism" by Traleg Rinpoche from my library. It's a good introduction, and I'd like to read into Buddhism further. I enjoy political science but have read only little about it. If anyone has recommendations about anything (I'm interested in Mao or Showa Japan) I'd be grateful. >>374 It's not a novel, but a rather touching short story. "The Dandelion Girl" by Robert F. Young. I haven't read it yet but I have "When Sleepers Awake" by H. G. Wells on my list, so I'll throw that out there.

>>374 >I don't know much about the pioneers or well established authors of the genre. This is going to sound weird, but Tolkien was an inflection point for science-fiction just as he was for fantasy. Much like in the fantasy genre, authors before Tolkien focused on exploring an idea or making a point rather than building an open world just for the sake of doing it. So bear in mind that those pioneers were nothing like 40k or really any of the modern sci-fi franchises, which have more in common with Tolkien than with Phillip K. Dick and such. H. G. Wells is a good starting point, I read almost a third of his bibliography when I was in high school and from what I remember, I liked his earlier work from "The Time Machine" to "Kipps", his later stuff was badly written, preachy and so optimistic and utopian that I couldn't take it seriously. I think it is completely valid to prefer modern, Tolkien influenced sci-fi over the old guys, so don't feel obligated to read Asimov or Wells if you don't like them.

>>378 Noted. Thanks for the analysis. I do prefer the worldbuilding for the sake of worldbuilding, I enjoy getting invested into and enthralled by a fantasy or sci-fi world. Honestly, using 40k as an example, I really prefer the idea of the galaxy that 40k builds more than I enjoy any specific storyline within the galaxy. The larger framework in which the authors use to lay out specific stories. Do you have any recommendations for authors that do good worldbuilding?

Very mainstream book recommendation but i reckon that this is the worst book ever read. It's legitimately just torture porn disguised as something deep. While the setting descriptions are amazing, the character development is (in my opinion) extremely subpar. Upsetting because I wanted a good read that would toy with my emotions.

>>11751 I joined and then left the military, it was a horrible experience but also the only interesting thing I ever did in my life I then moved to the capital to further my education but had to move back home as it was clear that I would have no money left by the end of it I am now a NEET struggling to find even downie-tier employment or an affordable car and my parents want to kick me out but hey at least I passed the JLPT N1 last year I don't think I even spoke to any women let alone handholding any

>>11928 Sounds like someone joined the wrong branch with the wrong job. I'm living like a king and almost like a neet with how little I work

>>11929 I wouldn't know, I didn't even graduate from training. Pay-wise I would barely have made more than my past job

>>11930 Thats crazy. I was making 19 an hour at a factory and I make twice that now with so much PTO that its crazy.

>>11931 yeah I would have been a sergeant and making nowhere near that much. it wouldn't have been worth it when I would realistically ended up doing myself in

Now getting into the vocaloid shoegaze, I listened to a lot of it on my Japan trip. I floated around the train station Hon-Astugi in Kanagawa for a month like burnt out loner with no ambition to do touristy stuff, and no ability to communicate with the locals. I'd sleep until 2pm, and get a few hours of sunshine whether than was through restaurant windows; taking the train to literal nowhere (e.g. Isehara station) and walk out in a random direction; or walking around Ebina's large mall plazas. The "suburbs/sprawl" is so beautiful and pure there, it's incredible. I always stumbles across 1,000+ year old ruins. re;mo - nanairo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWXBphssE80&list=PL92IuJUz0uMNRSsdP32Z1KtdGNwpxCs6J wintermute https://www.youtube.com/@likeadaydream/videos

>>11922 >I spent the last 10 years enclosed in my room, and I'd like for me to get some good memories that are not just four walls. >I already got a job so that may be the least of problems for now. But I still live like a neet, never really ever going outside. Lucky I dropped out of high school when I was really young.. I wish I could get a job but it's so hard where I live. I don't know if a GED will be hard. It's hard to make friends now that everyones on their phones, maybe go outside to community places, public transport for example, strike up conversations if you see the same people over and over again, and if they ever invite you somewhere, go there. You could go to a coffee shop and hang out with old people, or to a bar which is a bit less exciting, and keep going there to have fun. I've always been frightened of the gym despite being around 60kg You could always volunteer, which country are you from? You could look at apartment posters, or whatever poster is there in the community. The phone kind of made everyone a NEET in a way, and university is probably the last place to make friends officially. You could check out sites like Tagmap(even if it is dead) with weird anons. Try going to conventions, anything. I've felt that the feeling of being a NEET leaves you once you regularly develop a habit of studying. Good luck hikarin!

>>11672 Hikarin, have you been playing Civilization VII? Do you know if there are any good mods for Civilization VI? I wonder if it's received updates I learned about the Chaoshan region of China, it had been the origin of a lot of derivatives of it's culture, as it had been home to a lot of migration overseas. It had a lot of impact on Singaporeans, along with Indonesian Chinese, who were often the majority landowners, strangely often. Quite a few people there speak a variety of Mandarin that is the closest to ancient Chinese, and they're often referred to as the Teochew people. They also have a coming of age ceremony. Interesting people. https://www.omniglot.com/chinese/ A useful page for people trying to learning languages, a lot of documentation I'd recommend the movies, „An Elephant Standing Still” and „To Live” on https://kisskh.ws/ which I found a lot of East Asian shows in Also try out https://lightnovelpub.org/ for quite a few webnovels, albeit in English, Qidian would be better for Chinese https://www.konglongmandarin.com/ Another interesting website I came across to learn Mandarin from Peppa Pig

「 衆鳥高飛盡 孤雲獨去閒 相看兩不厭 只有敬亭山 」 「 The birds have vanished down the sky. Now the last cloud drains away. We sit together, the mountain and me, until only the mountain remains. 」 A poem about the Jing-Ting mountain, related to Zazen in Buddhism, which is related to the meditation. It's interesting how Japan diverged from Chinese Buddhism with schools of esoteric Buddhism with skull rituals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachikawa-ryu Chinese esoteric Buddhism never really flourished because of the persecution that arrived shortly after it began to be taught, and the name for it is literally related to the Tang dynasty - 唐密 It seems to be undergoing a small revival, with the designation of these temples by esoteric monks as important sites, because of their cultural influence outside China

>>11918 >if any of you hikarins knows how i could stop thinking like that or some other way to fix my issue, thatd be nice. i dont know why im writing this like im having a tech problem and am asking on reddit well... do you think poems are corny? even if it looks corny, what maters is that you made it, and that you made an experience. think in the flow, the best thought is infact, no thought is your game an rpg? i believe in you hikarin!

about 3 fiddy

>>11909 the weak shall inherit the earth

1 or 2 probably

id probably say 2... i can barely carry a chair for longer than a minute

>>11902 Probably around a 7. I do work out but I do the bare minimum. I can easily move 40 lb bags of salt around so idk

I spent my teenage years working with my dad running around on roofs, though I was mostly doing brainless lifting and not much tool work. But it was a lot of fun. Right now I'm just slowly working on fixing up and maintaining my car and getting tools for that as I need them, which is also a lot of fun.

>>11885 Cna you teach me about how to fix cars I have a drivers test soon

>>11889 you don't need to know how to fix cars to get your license silly hikarin you should learn how to do basic maintenance like change oil, replace air filter, replace tires, maybe change brake pads, etc.

>>11890 wait is changing oil easy can i do it myself i dont know how an air filter looks like....

>>11901 yes, the basic idea is: >put car on jack >unscrew cap under car and drain oil into pan >close cap >replace oil just be sure you are putting the right kind of oil as well as using the recommended amount (don't want to overfill it). most of the time you can just look it up. the air filter usually is just something you simply pull out and slide a new one in. that can also be looked up and easily done.

>>11892 Saturday is perfect, I have SO much vitriol towards Mondays

Monday because it's the day of NEET dominance Sometimes I'll go get groceries when all the wagies are trying to get home from work, to add to the traffic and slow them down, while appreciating the environment and looking at school girls, because I have all day. It's comfy.

Sunday, because I still have to get busy in school during Saturday.

>>11331 GUILTY! Hang that nyagan now! I got the rope right here

Bit of a late response but how did that case go?

>>11759 No, not done with uni. Still a few years to go, i'm a part time student so it's taking some time. Working on it tho! >Any routines you recommend to get fit? Honestly I have been lifting so long I make my own routine based on what lifts I enjoy. There are plenty of beginner routines online, as long as you're doing compound lifts (aka exercises that hit multiple muscle groups, bench press, leg press, and lat pulldowns for example) and hitting all of your muscle groups (push, pull, legs, core) you'll be off to a great start. >And have money by the end of the year! Don't we all...

>>11766 Sorry hold on I didn't explain that well. Compound exercises hit multiple muscles. Like a pull up targets your back and bicep muscles. Compared to an isolated lift, like a bicep curl, that really only targets the bicep. And you want to work out different muscle groups. Push is chest and triceps, pull is back and bicep, legs and core are self explanatory. In the beginning it is common to do full-body days where you do an exercise that hits every group each day, but later on weightlifters usually switch to doing each group on separate days to hit them more intensely. If I were to create a beginner routine, it would be something real simple like: 3 (sets) x 8 (reps) dumbell chest press 3x8 lateral pulldown or assisted pull-up 3x8 leg press and three sets of however many crunches you can manage. Don't fall for the meme of autistically optimizing your lifts, do whatever you enjoy within reason. Lifting is in art as much as it is a science.

I had a resolution that I was going to keep my room clean. I even did a deep cleaning of my room shortly before new years but I'm already failing at this since my room is already becoming a shithole again. How the fuck do people keep their rooms clean?

>>11834 On the other hand, im wondering how people get it dirty. The worst I have is desk clutter from a lack of room. I put my clothes in my hampers, make my bed every morning (it takes 30 seconds at most). I clean sheets and vacuum maybe... once a month lol. could be better. What the hell are you doing to get it so dirty? Is it like... food dirty? Like plates???

>>11766 >>11767 how much can u do n00bz?

Never been to one. What books did you get?

>>11882 I got Paradise Lost, and How Markets Work for far less than they were worth since I bartered with the shopkeeper, it was fun. I really wanted a manga they had in a shop but was really expensive.

>>1570 i think i would prefer the 16th since i know for sure i will be free. what game should we play?

doesn't seem like there is much of an interest this month. before i try to organize the event, i should probably ask how many are interested in joining? if the interest isn't there then that's fine, i just would like to know so i don't plan for it and nobody show up.

surely next game night is coming back... soon

>>1744 My college term ends the middle of next month. If there's enough interest we can try for either the end of December or January. That is, if people want to restart the game night.

>>786 Does anyone wanna play tf2

rolling for kawaii skoolgirlz

>>11851 LETS ROLL

rolling a breedable azunyan for my fellow hikarins!

>>11857 Thanks, anon! I got 7 and 5 from your numbers indeed, so my cock is happy with the result!

:)

>>1111 Wow! Four same numbers Yukari must be very lucky.

Yukari... I imagine cuddling with her while she pats my head calling me a good boy...

Hikarins do you know any manga that's super cute? I need a rainstorm of cuteness with nothing to distract me from it. Like that anthology comic

>>599 Yukari, when properly fed and watered, will put when cuddled

>>11818 We can be roody-poos together, hikarin

>>11813 roody-poos on my hikarinchan???

>>11822 More likely than you think!

test

>>11828 What are you testing hikarin

>>1378 tomoko my beloved watamote is one of those mangas that kinda changed my life, somehow i guess.

watamote harem arc isnt real, I refuse to acknowledge the existence of femcel harem

I personally didn't like WataMote, mostly because of it's humor. I felt embarrassed af when she lied about things then it was revealed to others that she lied. I didn't find it funny at all, just embarrassing. But yeah she was really relatable otherwise.

>>249 I used to dream of a lover like Tomoko and thought I'd just kms without her, now Tomoko is a dyke and I'm convinced I'll have to live out my lifespan. Tomoko is best when she is a greasy gremlin

>>1805 She looks like a goblin

>>22 Is entropy randomness? How can I make use of it?

I think people focus on negativity more, which in turn means it spreads faster. Seems like an evolutionary thing. It makes more sense to focus on things that are dangerous as a survival mechanism, but this sense has become something unintended. The same phenomenon has happened with stress. I think a good way to spread positivity is to embody it. People respond to someone with positive attitudes, behaviors, and actions. Putting it simply, the best way to spread positivity is to be positive yourself!

>>24 >The same phenomenon has happened with stress. Can you tell me more about this? I know a lot of people who are unable to be stressed

>>25 What I mean is stress evolved as a survival instinct to help us escape and avoid danger. But it isn't meant to be something you experience often or for long periods. Stress in the modern day comes from long-term issues like financial struggles, overwork, relationship issues, etc instead of like.... running from a bear or something. Stress is the silent killer because it wasn't intended to be experienced how we experience it today.

>>24 I, in fact, do not find anything interesting in positivity.

Man. I thought the links to the torrent would work but what can you expect from an abandoned site.

>>1797 >>1798 >>1799 wait, maybe they could be in a private tracker? not in any myself. good luck! nyaa is the closest i could find... maybe there're raws with better quality? idk

>>1795 If you give me a little bit, later today I can use Jacket to find virtually every torrent of it to find a hq rip

>>1795 after using Jackett, the best i could find was the 44.8 GB DVDrip of the series. Unfortunately that may be the best you can find without private trackers or restoration projects as a Blu Ray release/anything official is probably never going to happen

>>1799 Hey Kujify, I've ended up taking the HD rip with chinese subtitles and adding English subs from an old and defunct translation group (Kiteseekers). Lmk if you'd like me to forward you the series in as high quality as you can get
