I've spent the whole day of yesterday playing a videogame that kept me entertained and finished it. I felt ok and sharp of mind, and even after being tired of playing all day i could keep on going.
Now i have been procrastinating some important task that i have to do today browsing wizchan and watching porn, the brainfog returned, i felt tired and sleepy all day and my brain tormented me with bad thoughs.
The whole day flew away, the day went by fast. A blur.

Lately I have started games that I enjoyed playing and then just stop playing for no reason at all, despite some of them having like 20+ hours and I have not finished any of them: Digimon 1, Digimon 3, Digimon Adventure, Wonder Trek, Twilight Syndrome, Network Boukenki Bugiste, etc.
I hate this. My interest just disappear for no reason at all.

ate nothing but plain potatoes (microwaved, salt+pepper, no oil) today and my stomach seems fine. usually at the end of the day my stomach is fighting a battle. it's like i swallowed nails i can consciously feel my bowel movements and all the gas produced is disgusting and i can feel air pockets inside me. but just potatoes? stomach finally feels normal. holy fuck it has been months of this gay stomach problem. i had completely forgotten what a totally normal stomach felt like until just now. i don't feel anything inside me. i previously tried plain white rice and plain toast before to calm my stomach, but nothing has done this like potatoes. based potatoes. my body knows what it needs

idk what the problem is, but i have something called dumping syndrome, where food exits stomach too quickly. this has never messed with my stomach though and caused pain, except when i first tried out soylent. i tried eating just rice before (which is gluten free) but the problem persisted, so i dont think its a gluten thing. will continue this for a week to see if potatoes are really working

How does one learn several different subjects concurrently? Say 5 or 6, mostly unrelated or at best only loosely related. I tend to be unable to focus on something when at the back of my head I know I havs other n subjects. I also can't reeally commit to a single one. It's like I have ADHD which I was never diagnosed but I may as well have.
One idea is to set up a schedule: mondays for physics, tuesday for programming, wednesday for greek, etc. I need to get organized, but I suck so bad at it.

might be low stomach acid or a lack of digestive enzymes. They make supplements for this. I think betaine hcl + pepsin is common. Might be something else entirely but you could give it a shot and see if it helps. Low stomach acid people usually get bloating but they also usually get acid reflux, heartburn stuff like that so if you don't have that it might not be the issue.

 No.300306

you need to be doing something with them all, ie applying those things to use. at least for me this is how i learn new things

im having to learn a lot of things like plumbing, electrical wiring, craming/construction, for home renovation and all the stuff i'm learning is sticking very well as i'm making us of it all. even when it is a very dry boring process consulting building codes and standards and looking up specifics

This is good advice. Problem is, all the interests I mentioned are purely academic. I've also been learning a few other skills without even thinking about it, simply by doing them, just like you.

If you went to school, even basic school, it's interesting to remember that you did learn more than 5 different subjects concurrently. Yeah, they were quite easy, but not when you were a kid and for many adults that never went to school, they are quite hard.

youtube to learn the basics, and anytime specific numbers or sizes for something were mentioned or not explained (like spacing between two things, minimum height of something off the floor, etc) i would look through the IRC for building, UPC for plumbing, and my state's specific codes for electrical. each state is basically the same but they have slight differences, and they have ammendments to the IRC etc like for example the depth you must go into the ground to go past the frost line, whether air admittance valves are ok for plumbing, and so on all vary by state but the core is all mostly the same

i think that is partially the problem, but only because i drink so much water with meals and after eating. for example i could feel my stomach emptying sometimes after a big meal and a drink

Starbucks has a years-long policy of elimintating electric outlets at their stores and also turning off the free wifi when the store closes. They also lock the bathrooms. What kind of scum were they enticing with their gay overpriced coffee that everybody knows came from bitter over-roasted left-over beans?

So what I found out is that the wifi only kicks you out after hours if you try to connect to it after hours. If you leave anything in range and connected during the day, it'll keep going all night long unless it gets disconnected from range or weather or whatever else. Piss on the building for me :D

After the last update FF installed without consulting me (it has been doing this since they removed the 'don't update button' on v.64) it broke itself. I don't know what happened. Not only it broke itself and can't connect to any websites, it also made the ublock icon vanish for some reason. It's right there at the bar but it's just blank where the icon should be. After half-assing at a search for a solution I just said fuck it and found a ff 62 installer and installed that. That's the last version that doesn't auto-update or asks you constantly to update, it still has the don't update button. I remember that is the version I stuck the longest after I decided to quit firefox but couldn't really find any decent alternatives to it. But yeah it works now.

I've noticed that there is no antonym for suffering, such words as glad, felicitous, joyous, cheerful, elated, joyful, fortunate dont convey the same meaning the possible antonym for suffering could have, this word could be pleasure but pleasuring is not the same as suffering, maybe i am just missing something.

You're supposed to use lye, not soap. Through the cleverly-named soaponification reaction, lye reacts with oil / fat to create soap. The soap will then dissolve in water and ideally make its way out. Ideally, the lye will also hasten the decomposition of annoying things like hair.

This is one of the main principles behind things like draino or liquid plumr, but you can also just get pure lye crystals cheaper and run those through from time to time and hope it's never your problem. Candle makers sell it if you can't find it easily at a chemical supply or industrial supply or hardware supply or something like that. Avoid using on toilets because it can eventually eat away at the wax ring typically used to seal a toilet to the drain pipe and if that leaks it's tall ask to say that's not your problem.

- Don't involve jumping (because otherwise people living underneath me complain).
- Don't involve any expensive equipment (because poor).
So far I've got:
- Push ups.
- Squats.

This is the book I 1st learned about him from-

https://www.trivia-library.com/b/biography-of-famous-body-builder-charles-atlas-part-1.htm

> One day he watched a tiger stretching in the zoo and asked himself, "How does Mr. Tiger keep in physical condition? Did you ever see a tiger with a barbell?" He concluded that lions and tigers became strong by pitting muscle against muscle. Angelo abandoned his barbells and fell to staging tugs-of-war between hands, legs, fingers, and thighs. By means of such exercises, he doubled his weight and returned the beating to his Halloween tormentor.

Various facts from the report. Apologies if any of these are already known, but sometimes it's good to repeat stuff:
- The top 1% of income earners pay somewhere between 44 to 48% of all taxes (I don't understand the differences in accounting somewhat).
- The top 1% were almost all married and filed jointly. I'm guessing there's a lot of income splitting going on here.
- The top 1% made their money off of dividends and selling stock. Most of these were qualified dividends or right under capital gains tax limits, which is how most avoid taxes.
- The rich all itemize their deductions.
– The largest deduction by far is almost entirely 'business expenses.'
- Alimony is a middle-class issue.
- Property is a middle-class issue.
- IRA is a middle-class issue (but the rich still max theirs out).
- The 1% get the most royalties. (but it's small in comparison to their other sources of income)
- Farming is a middle-class issue.
- The 1% get the most inheritance. (but it's small in comparison to their other sources of income)
- The lower class get a lot from unemployment insurance. Not the most, but in comparison, it's a lot.
- Social security compensation, and being an expat is an upper-middle-class issue.
- The top 1% get the most from gambling. (but it's small in comparison to their other sources of income)
- Middle class and up put money into health savings accounts right up to the limit.

dying really is hard to come to terms with, that this is all temporary and there is a definite end to it all, and we will die. some day in the future there won't be a tomorrow, we will be living our last day, whether we know the end is coming or it just happens upon us suddenly. it's not a sad feeling but it's definitely disturbing, it's something that you recognize, acknowledge, know it to be true, but then you immediately think about and do other things because what else is there to understand about it. but when you continue focusing on it, it feels dreadful

kids are constantly coming up with new words and stuff because as soon as adults begin using it, it is no longer cool, so they are forced to keep complicating and confusing their speech. but eventually they become adults and they are the uncool ones trying to remain hip and the kids evolve their language to avoid them mastering it

i wonder if it was like this in very old times, or if this is mainly a product of super globalist interconnected culture internet times. i feel like a few kids in a village hundreds of years ago for example would not be able to pull this off, but nowadays these gremlins get on tiktok and their speech becomes broadcasted to the whole world where it takes root in the minds of other gremlins like a virus. it probably only started happening when people urbanized and came together en masse

There is a full site snapshot on archive.org from december 2016 - https://archive.org/download/otherchan3 - the wc1-00000.warc.gz files. The "bp-" ones are errors.
Only problem is that they're in the most infuriating file format I've ever seen, the "WARC", and some player that is awful. Picture related.

I know WARC from the lemur project (lemurproject.org) meant to be a relatively lightweight and simple way to archive a massive web crawl. They have some rudimentary java code (maybe python now as well?) for basic access, although last I used it it had some holes.

The main thing to remember is that these are raw webserver responses, so you'll have to do everything a browser would do in terms of interpreting headers, de-HTMLing them, etc. and also accounting for all the messy response headers and incorrect formatting and everything that goes along with it. I built a whole stack to automate all this and more, but uh, I don't know if the entity I worked for ever open sourced it or not. There are ideally better or more modern-oriented libraries out there now. Probably not, but ideally. WARC isn't terrible at what it's meant to be.

Lemur also has a search engine Indri that should be able to index them for easier access.

The software it suggested was all kind of crappy, and maybe the files were broken too causing it.
In the end there is a script on GitHub to extract them to static html, that you can just plop in a temporary web server program like rebex. Needed Java 11 jre downloaded from elsewhere.
I think the second warc archive has a format error that causes it to exception halfway through, I’m sure another script could fix that.

At long last I'm playing through my Advanced Squad Leader Scenarios slowly. I'm only on starter kit #1 where it's all infantry action

scen 1: Germans attack a town that American paratroopers are holding. Germany won surprisingly because I didn't understand how devastating attacks would get at range 1 as the american. Also because they were all in urban hexes not easily accessible

scen 2: Russians Defend at Stalingrad with flamethrowers/mmg's. I was rooting for the Germans and initial phases of the assault crossing the streets was in their favor. But they got bogged down trying to maneuver in the urban fighting and Russia ultimately woon

scen 3: Americans attack a large urban sector against 2nd line German forces. The issue with this map is that it's so big and the yanks only have to take 25 houses to win…. which goes quickly considering unhindered they can take up to 9 a turn or more. I made the mistake of trying to defend the city outskirts at distance as the Germans and the Americans bunched up in a narrow frontage and routed my one defending squad from the start. As things progressed Germany seemed to get a better handle on containing the advance to a narrow frontage and might have even won, but the Americans were able to burst the bubble from the lip of it and went on to win.

scen 4: Not done yet. Germany tries to infiltrate and bypass American positions. The issue for the americans is that they don't have many defensive hexes at their end of the board and the area is all basically wide open. They've got a hmg and a few mmg's and even a few flamethrowers, but I think the Germans have a good chance of cracking them just through numbers

I just take turns as one or the other, although there are apparently solitaire rules for ASL. You lose the ability to get inside the other player's head and anticipate their moves as effectively, but there is some insight into how you can force the other player to make unfavorable moves based on how you set up your forces. ASL is for grognards and boomers and there's still some scenario leagues running I can participate in once I learn all the rules.

…lots of unnecessary details in them though. Should an LMG really have the ability to fire indefinitely every turn until it "breaks"? Should an infantry unit have the ability to advance one square after the firing process has been done just because? Is it really plausible that infantry units without leader tokens can't rally? The rules only make sense if you consider the "squad" tokens to be smaller groups of 2-4 men. It's also very very hard to effect actual losses by firing and most of the game is just breaking the enemy through direct fire and forcing their morale to degrade. Also for some truly retarded reason the game considers American m1 rifle to have a 6-hex range whereas the 98k only has a 4-hex range… this seems to reflect their concept that this is experience levels but it isn't remotely realistic.

my observation is that young succubi are being led to believe they need to look older, that is what their cosmetics fulfill. conversely, old succubi believe they must look younger. probably there is a gradient in between where they want to somehow look both older and younger, as impossible as that sounds

i wonder if this has anything to do with men's sexual preferences over their lifespan. there is a funny chart showing what age succubus males prefer through all ages, and it remains constsant at like 20ish. for succubi, they prefer their own age men. but i wonder if around 20 is the point at which succubi stop trying to look older and switch into 'must look younger' 100% mode. and before this age, they try to look older. this is done in part via cosmetics and beauty products

Switzerland is one of the wealthiest countries on earth and also still one of the safest despite having its unsafe areas. There are a lot criminal immigrants however especially in the cities and they make the violent crime rate go up like in almost any european country but Switzerland is still far from being bad and its definitely not worse than the USA.

The problem with young people from Switzerland, Sweden, Germany etc. is that they are often obsessed with the supposed American lifestyle that they see in movies etc. and many of them just emulate Americans and their biggest wish is to be some cool American living in Los Angeles doing american things. American culture is often just a substitute for a lack of identity in European countries.

That succubus just lost her whole 'identity' if she really gets deported and has to go back to Switzerland.

I'm still learning the Advanced Squad Leader game system…. despite six hours of play time minimum. You can't take anything for granted in this game, every little condition has a subrule and a subrule for the subrule that you must know to appropriately play the game.

Anyways I played scenario 5 "welcome back" and one HMG and two squads with a good leader stonewalled cold…. 9 squads, two mmg's, and an lmg. I actually ragequit the scenario when it became obvious I couldn't win in that firefight, totally unbelievable. This game has real problems with how units are either immediately "broken" IE useless and unable to rally or not based on fire effects. The opportunity fire rules basically give 1 squad with appropriate assets the ability to annihilate/indefinitely break and pin 2-3x the number of enemy units. I am getting slightly better at how to approach these situations however, you have to sacrifice a throwaway squad to soak off the first opfire before sending in the real attacking force. It's kind of neat how you usually have a large map but only 3-5 true units per player on it and how they have to strategically maneuver using complete information to make the optimal move. I'm on scenario 6 and after that I get to ASL-SK2 which has artillery pieces

Potatoes are a solid staple food, but were generally regarded as lesser than wheat once the potato made it to the new world and was stupid easy to grow and therefore a mainstay of the caloric fuel needed for the densly packed workers of the industrial revolution. But not even wheat alone is necessarily a great idea, even if you can look it up and find that it beats a lot about potatoes at least according to typical measures.

So don't eat just potatoes even if you can survive on them for long enough for strange malnutrition related things or other chronic problems to set in. Human bodies can survive a really long time in the face of garbage conditions and you wind up just thinking like

I've seen several family members who whined about TikTok immediately get sucked in to YouTube Shorts. They don't even have YouTube accounts for which a curated playlist can be made so it's just top100 daily meme vids and assorted junk.

The pattern could be seen for years, of people developing shorter and shorter attention spans and seeking more condensed forms of media. 11 minute YouTube videos were the TikTok to 44 minute long Late Night TV shows. Now that videos are 5 seconds to a minute and there's no info or creator comment, we must wonder how much more condensed and trimmed down mass entertainment can become. "NeuraLink" and competition can already suggest information to monkeys from scratch, so maybe the future is just being fed enough short images to form a vague memory with detail on par with that formed from watching a YouTok.

There's a rift however. For every 10,000 people scrolling TikTok, there's 1 man analyzing each from of a 4 hour video essay about the history of Mario's hat.

I don't understand how anyone could get interested in computer science or IT. I know IT, and it's just understanding how computers work. Networking is how they communicate, security involves protecting that information, hardware involves some shallow knowledge of what makes a computer work, and software involves how to use corporate software like VMWare for virtualization and and Active Directory for management. I can't think of a reason to get excited about that kind of stuff. It's all a means to an end. I was a kid who liked computers too, but even I knew that it was all a means to an end. Computers are tools. It's the same with engineering or computer science. You don't learn to appreciate that kind of stuff from a video game. Even if you do, it's super shallow like wanting to make one. I didn't really get interested in this kind of stuff as a kid, but I did when I took classes and explored my interests in high school and eventually college. By then, you'll probably know better about what you're getting into. Nah, you didn't get your passion as a kid. You got your passion when you finally dug into the field.

If that anon who was asking about how to 'lock' the format when copying stuff in while writing emails etc is still here, I found another solution.

So does alcohol. GABA cycle is less detrimental than dopamine cycle, but it's still easy to abuse and wind up burning out on. There are GABAergic supplements you can look in to that I've found to be mildly useful but I don't particularly want to recommend any specific product. Other things like ensuring adequate magnesium intake can be cobeneficial, and you might find such things marketed toward restful sleep or reducing alcohol cravings if you want to try playing that field. Magnesium is more normally gotten among other similar things from dark leafy grean vegetables, but it doesn't hurt to try pills and potions to try to find out if you have a deficiency.

How can you ignore all the rapid technological advances in recent years to be depressed about something like that? It's comeplete nonsense to suppose a cultural and technological stagnation using people watching an old TV show as relevant parameter, let alone an absolute one.

If you want to be depressed about something silly, at least pick something with more interesting proportions, something that engages your intellectual curiosity like the heat death of the universe or how you'll never be able to see what's inside a black hole. Kids watching some random TV show that is not even that old is not at all depressing. Few years back I watched most of the The Twilight Zone, so what? Doesn't mean culture has stopped.

Perhaps he meant see from within a black hole. Alternatively, he meant being able to observe things about a black hole based on its interactions with other directly observable things.

In other news, there was a science news article the other day about a small scale simulation using a string of individual atoms attempting to simulate one of the possible mechanisms of the proposed Hawkings radiation that might come out of black holes, allowing that they might be capable of some equilibrium or even decay of accumulated mass/energy and of information. Having been in the "science news" before, I'm not about to take anything in the article as the article describes it.

The female share of computer science bachelor’s degrees actually peaked at 37.1% in 1984 before going into a steady decline for about the next quarter century

It's entirely because Friends is an old show and that means that culture is stagnating, not changing, not evolving. Also, because it's so bland and milquetoast that I can't help but project and wonder whether Gen Z is that milquetoast and tame.

By the way, you're still right that Game of Thrones and Mandalorian are depressing pieces of shit. I don't really see what that has to do with this, though. Because at least they're different. At least they represent _some_ sort of change in culture. Game of Thrones/Mandalorian/Rick and Morty depress me in a completely different way.

Using Pop Culture as a measure of behavioral and artistic culture is really stupid, like brainwashed levels of stupid.

I remember when I was a kid finding setting and stuff that I needed to access in programs was fairly straightforward. You go to the tab you need, find the setting you need. I swear that they have made it harder to do this though almost universally in any sort of program, the tabs make less sense, there is redundancy of categories with unclear reasons for things being placed in the tab, and there are overall way more items. Built-in search features to find what you want work only some of the time. If you go to google it, you will have to wade through a bunch of people explaining how to get to what you want in ways that no longer work because the program designers decided to change everything. Hopefully someone has made a thread since they made the change but if they haven't, good luck. I wonder if I am just imagining this or if I just became retarded when I got older.

I had the same experience in these environments. Alcoholics tend to argue over the dumbest things with each other and they can suddenly get mad for nothing. If you go to a bar alone there's a high possibility that some alcoholic boomer randomly comes up to you to give you an earbeating about all sorts of things but usually they talk about some dumb stuff or some drunk pseudo philosophical bullshit. I think the type of alcoholics who hang out at bars with other alcoholics are the true failed normies, like somehow they still seek company but they're also all drunk and fucked up.

One of my shrimps has a bunch of eggs hanging off it now. The day before I saw the eggs I noticed they were all swimming really weird. They were extra active and were swimming in squiggly patterns. Then I saw one of the shrimp jump onto the back of another shrimp for about a second. So it's possible I witnessed the mating itself and then saw the eggs the next day. I looked it up and apparently whenever a female molts it releases pheromones which make the males try to mate with it so that must have been what was going on the first day.
