Thumbnails on /lounge/ all got deleted. It's anyone's guess how, but I don't know of a script to reprocess images so I'll be manually rebuilding (most of) them (soon).

Images are fixed. Video thumbnails will come when I feel like it.

I deleted the active thumbnails folder instead of the temp/redundant thumbnails folder when freeing up space through an FTP client. >>307494's guess was right.

I see, simple enough mistake to make.
Glad it was able to be more or less fixed.
Hell, I didn't even notice the problem because you were so on top of it.

 No.307522

did you just have to resize the full size images, and then rename them, and then put in the thumbnail folder

 No.307535

>>307522
Yeah, just download the whole /src/ folder, run it through the batch resizer and compressor, saving as the same filenames and format, then reimport in to the /thumb/ folder. No renaming necessary because thumbs and images share the same timestamp filename.

Ted Kaczysnki was very smart, but also very incorrect. Human bodies are prisons and the universe is unworthy of our presence. If industrial society continues there is a chance that this will change. If society reverts to its pre-industrial form this will not change.

High compassion is a trait of a large frontal lobe. Through inbreeding and racial intermixing does this part of the brain shrink and be restricted further by a prominent sloping of the crown. Modification isn't necessary, just eugenic elimination of the genetically retarded.

How was the Wizardchan of old? Like how was the Wizardchan back in the first years around? Some oldfags say that the quality was excellent and it's was truly a heaven for the outsiders of society, but… how much of it is true or just nostalgia?

I started browsing this place in 2012/2013. I remember it being very comfy back in 2015, but overall, I don't remember why it was comfy exactly. I remember browsing while in my bed, reading all of the posts, and commenting occasionally. Maybe it was faster? Maybe there were less trolls around? I don't really know. I just remember how much I liked posting and lurking. I have other imageboards that are like that for me, but I don't really go to them as much as here. Honestly, I don't remember wizardchan as much as I should. Nowadays, I barely post or really look at wizchan. I don't look at the lounge thread, or /hob/, or anything on /dep/. I just come here for a few minutes, look if there are any new threads, check /b/ for funzies, then go off to another imageboard. There's probably nothing wrong with the place. It's probably because it's slower, I guess.

There were probably WAY, WAY more wizards on wizardchan and old /r9k/ than there were in the last 5 years of wizchan combined.

The funny and depressing thing is though, even if the rules were lifted it wouldn't improve anything because nerds and wizards of old kind are no longer being made. Gamergate ruined everything.

I've been doing that and now I wake up at 8pm at night so I am always ready for the morning walk

 No.304951

>>304935
What time are you going to sleep to be waking up at 8? It's strange that morning walks wouldn't correct the issue. The angle of the sun filtering through the atmosphere in the morning should trigger a natural cortisol spike that will serve as the trigger to regulate the rest of the circadian cycle (which is largely dependent upon cortisol). If morning sunlight exposure doesn't fix your issue you may have more severe circadian disruption. There are medicines which can treat this, the most tried and true is lithium carbonate. You may want to try medication.

people aren't free to choose their sleep schedule because of how idiotically limited the public life of responsibility is.

for the longest time i would have preferred to go to bed at 4AM, 5AM or even 6AM and then wake up and not be able to run errands or some assholes would insist on having appointments with me at 8 AM and there would always be this tug of war with me wanting to go to bed late and public life which expects me to wake up in the morning.

now trying to get more daylight i am going to bed at 2AM and wake up at 9AM and that seems to be a somewhat acceptible compromise but. this more normal sleep schedule has disadvantages though which i remember from when i was young and were forced to go to school to be bullied and subjugated: i always get sleepy at 4pm but when i go to sleep then my sleep schedule is ruined the next day.

all sleep scheduling problems are a result of people not being free to sleep whenever they want to and schedule their responsibilities accordingly.

I had this problem. Just recently fixed it.
Here's what I did:
>stayed up around 4 hours later than normal
>woke up 4 hours later
>stayed up a further 4 hours later
>woke up a further 4 hours later
>kept doing this every day until I ended up waking at desired time
>religiously go to bed at same time and always wake up at consistent time- this is the hardest part in the long run
Pro tips:
>don't try to stay up way later than usual, like 12 hours
Your body will fuck with you if you do that.
>if you wake up too early address the problem immediately
With a sleep schedule you're trying to fix your body is going to be out of wack and might be producing too much urine when you're asleep, so you might have to pee and that's what's waking you up even if while you're laying in bed you don't feel like you have to pee. Could also be you're too hot or cold. Or you ate too close to going to bed, try to leave at least three hours between eating and sleeping.

Good luck!

I subscribe to libertarianism, but I believe it would only work in a tiny community where everyone respects and trusts each other. Trying to base an entire society on it wouldn't work, because libertarianism as a system is not meant to cater to the interests of a large group of people, whose interests will always conflict.

 No.307107

I see the far-right argentinian candidate Javier Milei call himself a libertarian, then I see the term libertarian in a the title of a book about anarchism. Seems to me as empty a word as that other one on which it rests: that of freedom, or liberty.

 No.307108

>>307107
There are a few more things that go along with it, and it's a pretty wide spectrum.
Generally, free markets, strong private property rights, and a strong focus on so called "negative" freedom/liberty. Or in other words freedom from coercion, usually with ethics based around the non-aggression principle.

The spectrum is more or less how much government whatever flavor of libertarian thinks is ideal. From none, to bare minimal, to small (almost none are fans of a large and powerful central government).

 No.307125

taxes don't pay for shit. It is all made up bullshit. The government simply prints the money they need and raise taxes as a way of controlling inflation. They literally just destroy your money eventually. Everyone is playing a big game of make believe.

Diet directly effects the skin's ability to regulate flow of sweat, as well as its immune response to contaminants. The unique chemical composition of a man's fat, determined by what he eats, can be discovered through sampling his sweat. To suggest that what is under the skin doesn't effect what goes outwardly through it is really, REALLY silly! The unique composition of fat between guys is even enough to influence what he smells like. Diet also effects hormones, which are the main determining factor is weather or not the skin will be excreting pheromones, which use sweat as a vessel through pours. Niacin, when consumed in high amounts, can cause a flushing reaction in which the pores open up all throughout the body.

Now go ahead and explain some ways how sleep could effect acne. Or give at least one even slightly reasonable explenation for why you suggested "lotion". Chemical slop is never a solution. The skin is the biggest organ a human has, of course it's going to be effected by diet you dumb troll.

It's common knowledge that what a man eats is reflected in the quality of his skin. I gave some examples of why.
>"chemical slop is never a solution"
