Random Thoughts Thread

The thing is that all that's happening points to a situation with no resolutions in sight: although i have made some progress in trying to get in contact with people willing to try to get me out of the brainwash facility i'm currently locked in, i'm still locked in here, and in case those people fail to get me out, i don't think anybody intends to get me out. This essentially means an unknown length of time in this private-owned jail, with no lawyers, in case the people i know fail to somehow set me free.

I've been trying to keep myself isolated and alone, mostly because most people are abusive, here. The kindest person is a rather sad narcissist, who seems to try to 'pleasantly' manipulate me to one's own goals, ironically because, i presume, one feels how sweet i am. Still, the only reasons i have for living resumes itself to my wait for freedom... The fact is, though, that i doubt that i'll be set free in less than one year, not to mention that the local staff will probably try to get me legally branded as insane, in order for somebody to get one's hands on my cash.

This isn't life.

I've decided to simply end it all, should my hopes implode. I've been suffering a lot as of late, and the only reason i'm still able to wake up is that a few people decided to help me... Wasn't it so, i would have killed myself a long time ago.

Life's lost its meaning. And besides, given that i do remember some of my past lives, i'm not truly concerned that my existence will end. I just want to stop suffering, and perhaps be able to lie down on a gentle person's lap, with a huge pot cigarette in hand. I have one chance of being saved...
Should it fail, well... Death is always an alternative. Better to die than to rot is this disgusting private-owned jail and brainwash facility...

Should we approach my current favorite subject of archetypes, i remember when i used to melt away when thinking about actually finally crumbling down under the care of someone else... I simply don't dream about that anymore, although i know that's what a i want behind the scar tissue... Funny, i can't even believe in love, anymore, in a way....

Guess my dreams were shattered. No reason to continue dreaming this world..

Getting off 8chan would be a good first step, my dimension jumping ARG compadre.

I just use my own board there. While i know there are plenty of boards for all kinds of tastes, i'm just using the place as a blog host. Icould try finding a host somehwere else, but it'd have to be a free one, and i have no idea where i could go.

Besides, in spite of the way that post and thread structure has come to be regarded, that is, unruly babies slinging feces at each other with little to no actual conversation taking place, i must say i like the structure and especially the way logins are performed.

I'm a born loser at that field. I might try playing around with formatting, though, lol.

Twicechan has logins? Wow, no wonder it's a shithole.

I was mostly joking about the supposed animosity the various -chans have for one another, I've never been to 8chan. But no, I'd say the accessibility and (relative, mind you; you can still get IP banned) uncurated anonymity are neccesary components of the imageboard culture. When there's no username, picture, or past history attached to a message, you can only evaluate it on its own merits. Of course, this system is terrible for anything where an 'expert opinion' might be needed, and any sort of "opinion thread" vulnerable to manipulation (which is why some boards on 4chan, like /b/ and /qst/, have unique identifiers attached to IPs, though they don't work all that well). But that's not what one visits an imageboard for. When nobody's around to police for "bad behaviour" and nobody can "downvote" someone to drown them out, that's where truly original ideas can come out. It also, oddly, fosters the sense of community despite the anonymity; when everyone's equally anonymous everyone's contributions weigh the same.

I guess my point is, I don't think a forum like Reddit could have made something like Katawa Shoujo. Oh sure, people from reddit could definitely get together and make a game (and probably have more than once) but it would never be "a game reddit made"; it would be "a game guys A through Z" made.

(If this reads both overtly wordy and incomprehensible, I just woke up, sorry).

I still think its dumb compared to your normal 4y olds motor skills

It doesn't seem like she's doing anything particularly skillful, though. Here:



I mean, even Aang picked up and improved on Katara's waterbending trick in instants, so I just figured it was an example of an Avatar's natural talent.

"I'm the avatar you gotta deal with it"

How subtle...

Spoony my guy I'm pretty done with this topic, so if you feel like defending the show do what you gotta do
It's okay for people not to like what you like, you know

[SpoonyViking]

Yeah, sure, but what's wrong with offering a counterpoint to an argument?

[Zurvan]

Not much, if anything

just feels like you're bringing an old topic back for no real reason

[SpoonyViking]

Well, that's not a fair assessment, is it? I was clarifying something for Laserman, and then replied to your own comment, it's not like I brought it up out of the blue. But very well, let's just drop the subject.

I left Avatar on a permanent hiatus somewhere around the time they went to Ba Sing Se; does it get better after that?

Yeah, it does. There's plenty of things to recommend, but if nothing else, I'd suggest you watch it at least for Mark Hamill's performance as the Fire Lord.

[mAc Chaos]

Is it that good? I watched like two episodes of it back when it was on TV.
