/britfeel/ - Feel Britannia

I've numbered this 115 to follow on the last /britfeel/ over on 8chan, however do you lads think we should be including /bunkerfeel/ in our numbering?

We apparently had 4 threads on julay, although bunkerfeel 001 is missing for some reason, not sure what happened to it. 

We've had one thread here, which we've, for some reason called bunkerfeel 003.

If we keep bunkerfeel seperate in the numbering,  the next thread is 116, or do we include bunkerfeel, in which case this thread is actually 120, and the next can be 121?

Hey BO if you're there, it's oldBO here. I can't remember if I set myself up as a mod but I tried logging into the BO to clean up this filth, but the login failed. Could you make a mod account for me please?

Yeah I think we should. Don't know if you lads have really thought about it, but in less than a week it'll have been 1 year since 8chan went down, so that's a year's worth of threads you'd be skipping.

I asked the usually trusty anon if I should make a new thread with OP pic related (painstakingly edited together by yours truly might I add) over a week ago, and he didn't respond, so I didn't do it and forgot about it. NOT MY FAULT. Also Julay uses the same underlying board software as anon.cafe, and it was quite happy to let us go way past 1000 when we couldn't be arsed to make a new thread, so I didn't even consider that a reply limit might have been why it seemed like no replies were made, at least not until a considerable length of time had passed.

If you try loads of new things you'll eventually find something you like. Or if there's something you know you'd like to be able to do/become but lack the discipline, then work on cultivating that, it's not something you either have or don't, it's a skill that can be learned. We're built to do stuff lad, body and mind, if we don't play ball we feel shit, if we feel that way for long enough, we feel apathetic about feeling shit. That's normal and I'd be surprised if there's a person on this earth it wouldn't apply to given certain circumstances.

I've heard of companies having gyms in their corporate buildings, thought it was more of a western thing though. Hard to imagine the elevens having facilities like that, but the Shinra Building is supposed to be a futuristic and somewhat luxurious area that contrasts with the squalor down below, to be fair.

How do you intensively study math? My plan is to go through the Stewart texts with a highlighter, do problems on Khan Academy, flipping back to the table of contents and cheat sheets often to keep perspective. But I wonder if there are better resources for practice problems, or some strategy I'm missing to understand math from a high level instead of it feeling like rote memorization. Something like doing geometry with a compass to get a real feel for it. Or focusing on proofs early on (which I can never follow). Or reading a book like "Journey through Genius" or "What is Mathematics". I'm also horrible at mental math and make a lot of arithmetic errors, so could really use some tips there. I'd like to make the process as close to straightforward as possible. Like lifting where you just do a few main lifts in 3x5 and put more weight on the bar each week, then come out the other side of a couple years an athlete.

>>1136

Japan is big into work culture, mandatory karaoke evenings etc, so I imagine a gym in the building so that employees have an excuse to spend more time there being something they'd be into.

I do know some people who work in places with gyms in the building though.

>>1141
>instead of it feeling like rote memorization.
I can't speak for maths, but at least from the perspective of learning a language, I think rote memorisation is a vital part of understanding. It's sort of like hardwiring the fundamentals into your brain so your subconscious has adequate material with which to form understanding with. That being the case for maths, I'd recommend flashcards (I use anki, it's great). You should do a bit of research on it.

We can put part of our pay (before tax) into company shares, and they match up to 3% of your pay. It's a good way to save a little bit a month and the company shares were consistently rising up until Covid hit, they're recovering now but still not where they were in January.

Other than that, its just a shit "benefits" program where you can put money on prepaid store cards and then get something pitiful like 5% off, it's not even worth the effort. 

When I was on service desk, we got points each month for hitting SLA's, and they'd occasionally run competitions for points, like best joke or photo competitions or something and you could spend the points on gift cards. Over 2 and a half years on service desk I got something like 50 quid worth of steam vouchers from then, but I knew people who played the system and entered in everything possible and were getting a fair bit. Since I've moved to a different business unit, I don't get that anymore. 

We also get coffee machiens, and the building Im not based in has showers.

Hey anons. Thought I would visit here since I am seeking advice. I currently live in the USA but I will be moving to the UK in 2 weeks. The query is a bit embarassing but here goes.

Not UK but here is me talking to myself:
1) Cartoon porn depicting minors is illegal to possess in UK.
2) So is piracy in America, and jaywalking. Safety in numbers and lack of severity will probably keep you safe unless you are super unlucky or being searched for something else BUT that's not a risk worth betting your life on.
3) Your risks, as far as I know, are
>entering the country, very very small chance of a search (maybe a known US terrorist has the same name as you, shit happens)
>being a retard who views or downloads it in public (I've seen it happen, please don't make it your phone/laptop wallpaper for gods sake)
>having your ISP notice you keep connecting to loli domains and giving enough fucks to report you (just get a quality VPN and/or Tor and learn to use them properly and automatically)
>you cuckolding a GCHQ operative and murdering his parents
As for entering the country, it can't hurt to (encrypt folder->upload folder anonymously to filehost site like catbox/anonfiles/etc->wipe from drive->enter country->download->decrypt). You can even just use 7zip to make a 'folder.7z' file with a password, just make sure the file list is also encrypted. That way you don't even have remotely suspicious programs installed! If you do this, you're liekly safe from anything short of a cyber forensics team and that won't happen (which I'm 99% sure would fuck you up no matter what precautions you take. Computers are deceptively complex.)
ISP: like I said just use protection and then you're not an easy target. Just don't pick a shit&free VPN.
Don't be an obvious target, don't involve people, don't view actual CP. Those are how people get loli charges, usually a wife snitching or additional charges on top of actual CP charges.


Or you could just delete it and become a furry instead lol.

>>1159
>>1160
Yeah, it is illegal. We do however see illegal images of loli's being sold at weeb conventions and nothing is done about it. 

If your PC's being scanned by the police, they will categorise it as illegal and that will be part of what they get you for, it's definitely not worth the risk. 

We've also got RIPA, which means that if you don't provide them a password for your encrypted folder that's on your drive they can charge you, but thats a max sentence of 2 years and they don't label you as a pedo so I guess its the better option?

Maths PhD here. I can offer a little advice. 

Rote memorisation in maths is largely useless, because it isn't a field that's about knowing facts, it's more about understanding structures and the way they fit together. If you want to understand things at a high level then memorising definitions and formulas will not help at all, and doing practice problems over and over again also does not help with understanding. Most mathematics professors in my experience don't know a lot of the basic stuff in these textbooks and could perhaps not produce a proof on demand, but they do understand it intuitively, and know where they would go to look something up if they needed to. 

Suppose you wanted to learn carpentry. Would you spend all day practising hammering in nails, cutting lumps of wood, etc? That would be pretty boring, for one thing, and would put you off learning. You might do that a bit to make sure you can cut straight, but really, you want to sit down and try to make a chair or a cabinet, and after you have made enough of these things you have learned and understood the basic skills and can apply them more generally, even though you never actually sat down and practised hammering. 

Maths is like carpentry, but you use abstract tools to make abstract chairs. Unless you're trying to pass an exam where you have to do everything from memory, it is pointless memorising definitions and statements of theorems. 


> focusing on proofs early on (which I can never follow)

At a guess, I would say that you are reading the statement of the theorem, and then reading and trying to follow the proof. This doesn't really work. Instead, try reading the statement of the theorem, then shut the book (or cover the proof with a post-it note, or something) and try to prove it yourself. 

You shouldn't be concerned if you can't actually prove the result, the important thing is to try and think about what steps are necessary to prove it and where the difficulties lie. When you go back and look at somebody else's solution, it will be easier to understand it because you have already reconstructed part of their thought process on your own. Like if you were making a cabinet and it collapsed because you structured it badly, hopefully you can understand why your joints failed to hold the structure up, and when you look up how to do it correctly in a book it will make more sense why they do things the way they do. I'm not expressing myself well here, hopefully this makes sense. 

A general tip on proofs is that the easy early results in a field follow almost trivially from the definitions, because in practice people figure out what they want to be true and then go back an define things so that it works, if that makes sense. More complex results will depend on more stuff, and require technical details that are difficult to invent 'on the fly,' and these are the things you will not be able to do yourself until much later on. 

The little tricks that people use in each field are really the only things worth memorising, but you need to use them to actually get a feel for how they work and when it is appropriate to use them. It's like understanding what a hammer is and what tasks its actually appropriate to use it for, only with something much more abstract than a hammer. 

> I'm also horrible at mental math and make a lot of arithmetic errors, so could really use some tips there.

So are most maths professors. I've always been okay at mental maths so I don't have much advice, other than to tell you it really isn't important. Very little mathematics actually requires you to do calculations. If you followed the correct procedures but got the wrong answer purely because you added something up wrong, then as far as I'm concerned you actually understood the concept and that's what matters. Otherwise, it will get easier with practice. 

 > General advice

Rather than 'learning math', try to pick something concrete area that you want to understand and work towards that. At your level trying to pick a 'big theorem' from an abstract field that interests you will be too difficult, so I might suggest you begin with some kind of physics or engineering problem that motivated the development of lots of maths in the first place. The three-body problem would be a good choice, for example. 

Hope this helps lad. If you have questions about more concrete areas I might be able to help more.

>>1172

> I've been utterly btfo.  (>>1144)
Wasn't my intention to offend. The best learning strategy depends very much on the field. In chemistry for example, memorisation would be pretty useful, probably necessary. Maths is really a creative field like art or music, but people who don't actually do it for a living don't usually understand what it's really about. Language learning isn't really creative per se, you just have to accumulate a large amount of knowledge and retain it. If your goal were to write a novel or poetry in the other language then your strategy for learning might be different. 

> What's PHD doing here?
Take your pick: loner, no friends, no gf, basically a shut-in outside of obligatory meetings and going for nightwalks, will possibly become a very highly-qualified NEET when my postdoc funding runs out at the end of next year due to lack of networking and connections.

>>1173
>Wasn't my intention to offend. 
Not at all, I'm pleased to have learned something. That's really impressive, you must be clever. I was always rubbish at math. I think the only other poster who might possibly at your level is the lad who chews hula hoops into balls of mush and then takes them out and eats them again, if he still posts. Isn't there something you'd like to do with your PHD? What are even the options? Are most teaching-related?

>>1174

> That's really impressive, you must be clever.
I'm the living embodiment of the smart-but-lazy meme. The problem is that intelligence is far less important that hard work and genuine interest in the field when it comes to real achievement. I really had to drag myself through my graduate studies. In the end I did okay, but I've always got the impression I could achieve a lot more if I actually worked hard. 

Actually, depending on the field it can be quite easy to get a PhD. A big chunk of 'applied maths' students are really just doing basic programming, changing parameters in their simulations and making a graph of the results, maybe doing some basic statistics. The level of maths they use is stuff you learn in A-level. There's people I know who are doing machine learning and it's an absolute joke, no intelligence or creativity is required at all. The irony is that what the do is much more useful than what I do and they'll earn a lot of money for doing it. 


> Isn't there something you'd like to do with your PHD? What are even the options? Are most teaching-related?
The only job where you actually use a maths PhD is staying an academia and becoming a maths professor, which has been my plan all along. It's pretty difficult to get these jobs, as you can probably imagine: there are very few jobs available, large numbers of graduates every year, and most jobs will prefer people who do 'sexy' research rather than the kind of obscure stuff I'm interested in because there's more funding available and it brings more prestige to the university. Networking is basically mandatory these days, and I haven't done enough. Pure maths jobs are almost impossible to get, but I actually do applied maths, veering more towards theoretical physics, which means there are more job opportunities and the option to move to the physics department, which is probably what will happen if I am able to continue.

I don't actually like what I do or have all that much interest in it, and I don't really want to continue working in academia, but I don't really see any other options for myself. If you don't take it too seriously it's a comfy job, you more or less make your own hours outside of meetings and teaching responsibilities, and you can do research on whatever you want within a fairly broad remit. The pay is supposed to be terrible but its not that bad, around £30-40k a year for an early career researcher, which is plenty for my needs. 

On the whole, I'd rather have a comfy job that I don't like than an uncomfy job I don't like, so I will stay in academia as long as possible. Most people who get PhDs is maths or physics end up going to work in the finance sector and earn a huge amount of money, but I'd rather not do that.

>>1175
University lecturing and/or tutoring should be fine; it's not like high school where you need to command a class of tards who don't want to be there. You have the authority and freedom to be comfy and (at times) not boring and if you can do that, students will often be grateful.

Man, I know those feelings, but I managed to fuck shit up so bad in uni that I finished with a third. The world feels closed off to me now but I'm not too bothered about it. Part of me wants to go work a comfy retail job but know I'd struggle to get enough hours to live alone.

I think you underestimate how much of a brainlet the average person is. I failed A-Level maths, and I'm sure many more couldn't even get that far. I'm also (or was) smart but lazy, in that I coasted through school with zero effort relying on intelligence. It did me fine up to A-Level where it no longer worked, evidently I reached my peak when it comes to academics. You probably just have significantly higher capacity so that even a PHD is coastable. Either that, or you're not as lazy as you think.

>>1178

>ywn have a qt chocobo gf

Who /big willy club/ here? I wonder if mammoth dongs are overrepresented in the NEET community? Do you think it's fair to say your willy is too big to get a gf?

>>1187
There's also the fact that depending on your setup then your PC may cache the images seen online, which counts as you possessing them.

I'm a bit concerned that the BO hasn't been around in quite some time.

>>1191
Looking forward to finding out what surprise is in store for us tomorrow to be honest.

What have you all been up to today? Me, I've been conjugating verbs.

>>1193
Reading textbooks. I find highlighting every important point keeps my attention and sets a good pace. Lying down on the floor on my belly helps too. It's a comfy position, but if I prop my head up on a rolled up blanket I don't get sleepy. I always fell asleep reading books before, so this is big for me as goofy as it may sound.

Are you conjugating Japanese? Should get easy quick, they are very regular. Almost makes up for the kanji hell.

>>1194
Yes. I'm quite jealous lad, with my ankle being in a cast I'm limited to a few positions, might try a cheeky lie down on my front soon though. 

Yes. For sure it's one of the more forgiving aspects of the language. If you learn the relatively small amount of rules and tiny amount of exceptions you're basically set. I heard Finnish has some 300+ tenses.

Sometimes when I get a song or tune stuck in my head I'll sing along to the melody but instead replacing every lyric with some form of "floopity" or "whibblescromps". Am I the only one?

>>1191
I've been here the whole time, except for when I'm sleeping or working on some autistic things, and also when I didn't see this thread until a day after it was made because I didn't refresh the old thread.

>>1197
You seemed to completely miss all the shitpost drama, I suggest you check the ban log lad.

>>1198
If you mean the nigra spam, I only missed whatever came before >>1068 , saw everything after that and I saw the post on /meta/ because it was me who he was responding to kek. I thought it was funny to be honest, didn't want to spur him on though so I didn't chime in or engage with him. Repeatedly hitting spastics with a b&hammer can be a bit like repeatedly hitting a wasps' nest with a stick sometimes, I thought it was best to just let him tire himself out spamming inoffensive images (that probably made him more mad than they did anyone here) to a board with 6 people on it.

>>1199
Right, next time I'll just let him get on with it then

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqPsG7H0N3w

His haughty posture. The sharp elegance of his movements. The sheer disdain for plebs radiating from his stern countenance. I'm thinking of adopting all of these mannerisms when I play guitar. What do you lads think?

>>1199
I somehow find it a bit comforting that it was the BO of all people to trigger an autist on /meta/ but I did suspect it a little bit.

I need to find some real life hikkis to practice my Japanese with. The normies I have at the minute all work too much. I'd be interested to hear about any thoughts on nip work culture you lads have, it's so different to ours that I find it quite fascinating.

>>1203
This is more the bad side of it, but here's a couple of things:
- They work stupidly long hours, and are essentially obligated to work overtime, and in some cases even go drinking with the boss after work.
- If an employee fucks up big time, or the higher-ups simply don't want them around anymore, they won't get fired because it makes the company look bad and costs the company more money; instead the employee will get sent to "work" in a room where there isn't any actual work, usually in isolation with no windows or anything, and essentially get mentally tortured for weeks/months/years to the point where it forces the employee to quit "of their own volition". It's quite common, even Sega was notorious for doing it, here's a snippet from The Times in 1999 about it: http://englishonline.free.fr/Documents/JapFirmsRewriteRules/JapFirmsRewriteRulesDoc.htm
- Look into "black companies" as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_company_(Japanese_term)

>>1204
The no-work room sounds great honestly. I'd not be worried about fucking up at work if that was the punishment.

>>1204
>essentially obligated to work overtime, and in some cases even go drinking with the boss after work.
Sounds like hell. I like my comfy 24 hours. My brother was telling me about how when they're out drinking with the boss they're often obligated to get as shitfaced as he wants them to.

is today the day of reckoning lads? is it finally over for us?

Honestly, he's not really been the Grandpa I knew for over a year. I don't feel strongly one way or the other. My dad seems glad that its finally over.

Fucking hell I love the North. These 2 weird cunts that give off really nonce-y vibes and have been pissing off everyone have had dog shit smeared all over their van for the past 2 nights now. They're absolutely raging on Facebook right now, top fucking bants. One of them wants the dog shit to be DNA tested the stupid fuck.

What will you all be doing to cultivate your spiritual, intellectual, and moral development today?

>>1214
I'm picking up the keys to the flat today. Does moving boxes count?

I would say so. Congrats lad. Post some pics when you're in.

Why can't more of the immigrants be patriotic and based like Rishi Sunak and Priti Patel lads? If they all adopted British values like those two I'd have no problem with them coming here.

Not him but the-eye.eu has plenty of games in Japanese, otherwise cdromance is alright but it feels dodgier.

>>1227
Get started here: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/ROM_%26_ISO_Sites

There's tons of full sets on archive.org, just search the system name and "Redump" if it's CD based, or "No-Intro" if it's cartridge based, then when you find it you can browse the individual files or download the whole lot. There's also https://mobasuite.com/roms/ , which has many complete and frequently updated No-Into sets available as individual downloads, for if you just want to download the odd game.

Definitely make archive.org your first port of call if it's disc-based games you're after, because otherwise you'll likely end up with some garbage dump made by some kid with a scratched disc in 2005, instead of an accurate and verified dump.

There's condensation on my windows from the humidity.

>>1228
>>1229
Thank you lads. I've just downloaded Chrono Nigger and Ocarine of Time. Do you know where I can get anime with Japanese subs?

>>1234
A quick search led me to this, has a fair few shows: https://kitsunekko.net/dirlist.php?dir=subtitles%2Fjapanese%2F

It's just the subtitle files though, so you need to obtain the actual videos separately via nyaa or somewhere else. I don't know what your media player setup is like, but if you use MPC-HC you can just make a new folder inside the folder with your videos called "Subs" or "Subtitles", place the subtitle files in there, and then as long as the filenames match, the media player should automatically detect it and apply it. If the subs are timed to a different release to the one you have, they could be offset or completely out of sync; there are ways of fixing this, but it's better to just have matching versions from the start.

>>1234
If you're willing to download I'm guessing the "Non English Translated" section of nyaa.si has plenty.

>>1236
That section is all Chinese, Russian, Spanish, etc; Japanese releases don't get filed under "Translation", they get put under "Raw", but those pretty much never come with subs.

I'm so tempted to buy the tab for this guy's arrangement of Clair de Lune. It's 16 quid, but it's simply fantastic, so I'm torn.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFLPdxdvEXk

I think it's weird how Japanese society is superficially so respectful, honorable, decent and polite, and yet they're the world's largest purveyors of pornography, and on top of that, dominate the weirdest, most depraved niches. Is anyone able to shed some light on this?

>>1240
Yes.

What the hell is it trying to say and do I even want to know?

>>1242
No.

Having to keep my ankle elevated means I have to play my guitar lying down in bed. It's actually turning out to be a positive because I'm learning to play purely by feel. At this rate I'll be able to play complicated classical pieces with my eyes closed.

On a completely unrelated note, what are some words you don't like?
>literally
>cringe
Literally should NOT be used for emphasis, and cringe is NOT an adjective. Simple as.

I also don't like the overuse of the word 'like', especially as a filler word, which admittedly I catch myself doing sometimes. It's sadly very prevalent.

the rip tide was horrific this morning lads, went out around half 9 and every time I tried to wade out this vertical rip just pulled me off my feet, stayed out till lunch but didn't manage to catch much, trying again later though

>>1245
What you're doing is very dangerous young man. I suggest you get a sensible hobby like collecting rare coins.

>>1244
words I don't like? These will be cliche ones but I see them a lot online and they make me feel itchy:
yikes, ya'll, problematic
honestly anything overused in American media. I'm better off staying away from any forums except this one

Twitter talk is perhaps the worst style of speech I have ever seen lad unironically I cannot handle it

>>1244
Those three are definitely on my list, but my biggest one of the last couple of years has to be "toxic". Remember 5-6 years ago when that word was only used in this way by "social justice" nutters on Twitter, and wasn't a casually-used, everyday label frequently assigned to huge swaths of people in order to denigrate them in the vaguest terms possible? Because I remember, but apparently nobody else does, so now I hear people in real life and even faggots on imageboards (outside of here) using it all the time.

We need to put an end to Twitter lads, honestly the whole world would improve tenfold overnight.

What are some other good pre-millennium JRPGs?

>>1252
Star Ocean, Tales of Phantasia, Final Fantasy 4/5/6, Dragon Quest 6, Phantasy Star 4, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Illusion of Gaia, Breath of Fire 1 and 2, Lufia 1 and 2, Lunar Silver Star Story, Romancing Saga series, Secret of Mana, Wild Arms, Arc the Lad

Honestly the list is massive.

>>1253
You're an experienced gamer.

>>1250
I'd add referring to people as "folks" to that list as well.

>>1254
That's the power of being hikkiNEET. There's very few JRPGs of that era that I haven't at least played a little bit of, and I got quite far into many of them, but I've not completed a single one.

Well then.

Never lose a war or get invaded. That's what happens to you. You can probably think of a few other countries it's happened to and see parallel effects.

That's a who's who list of games on the top of my backlog. Now I've got one more for you: Suikoden! You can recruit more than a hundred unique characters and build your own castle. There are both party-level and army-level battles. Never seen another game quite like it. Very comfy.

I told my manager I'd take a day for the funera, but working as normal right now.

Not bad for work, but bad that I'm using his death just to skive. Doesn't feel right.  

I'm working from home at the moment, so its not as if I have to see or speak to anyone about it anyway.

I've scraped the exif data off and done some editing to clear anything that I thought was identifiable but if there does seem to be anything on there, please do say. 
The mattress on the floor is a temporary situations, but I am very much enjoying it. I feel like I slept better last night than I have in ages, although it might just be because I'm finally out of my parents house.

Also, there's a spark voucher to whoever can spot something I kept from when I was a based retail lad.

That kitchen looks spookily similar to my mum's house, weird. What's that thing on top of your drawers in pic 3, is that a projector?

Alright lads? I've been growing a bit tired of the NEET life, but at the same time there's not much work in my area, and I don't like most jobs out there. Anyways, I've decided to make an exceedingly last minute push to become a university student this year, so with any luck come next month I'll be doing that, and hopefully sticking to it this time round, too. 
>>1275
Not the lad you're replying to, but I lost someone rather important to me a while back and it took a good bit of time for it to really sink in, for the first few months or so I was pretty much just numb to it. Try not to worry about it too much, grief can be overwhelming at first but you learn to deal with it. If I had to give one piece of advice it would be avoid drugs or alcohol as coping mechanisms, and also talking to people who have been through similar experiences can help a lot. Best of luck mate.

No need to be shy about it lad, I'm doing mine with the OU so I shan't judge.

>>1291
Nah it's not that mate, I just don't want information about where I study to be hosted on a website anyone can access. I figure I'll probably talk about it some more ITT if things go well, and I don't want to make myself too easily doxxable by outright declaring the institution in question. It's actually a pretty good University, I'm really looking forward to studying there. 
How are you finding the OU by the way, and what do you study? My mum's thinking about doing a masters through OU.

>>1292
Thats fair enough. I hope you enjoy it!
I'm studying data science with the OU, I work full time so I'm studying on the side and quite enjoying it, the quality of tuition is very high and when I do go in for tutorials all of the other students feel super motivated and are generally interesting to talk as they're older than normal and have various life reasons for studying with them. Only problem is I sort of feel like I missed out on some of the student experience but thats tolerable. Just need the ability to actually sit down and make yourself study after a day at work.

>>1293
I actually tried singing up for the OU many many years ago, but I was a teenaged NEET at the time and distinctly lacking the 
>Just need the ability to actually sit down and make yourself study
side of things. I went on to college later and found that drastically easier, I think I'm the sort of person who doesn't tend to do much in general without some degree of imposition from external structures and deadlines. As for the "university experience", it's alright but only worth so much to people who aren't normalfags. A lot of university social bonding is done through the medium of going out to nightclubs and that sort of thing and I find it rather boring, I'd imagine most lads here would feel the same about it. 
>the other students feel super motivated and are generally interesting to talk as they're older than normal
That's one thing I'm going to feel a little bit weird about heading to University, I'll be in my mid 20s so a good few years older than most of the students in my classes. I'm thinking about taking some more niche class/es on the side to see if I can maybe meet some graduate students or something, since they'll be older.

I once flatshared with a gay man and the sheer volume of casual sex he had would put the average chad to shame, the average homosexual probably has zero need to ever pay for a prostitute

Fucked my registry up lads. I'm such a brainlet when it comes to technology. You wouldn't think I'd been using computers for nearly two decades.

>>1346
How did you manage that lad, you only need to follow instructions!

>>1346
Sounds more like a poorly written program to me, but does your Windows login name contain any weird characters?

>>1347
>>1348
My dad bought me this laptop a couple of months ago, my user folder was his name, and I wanted to change it to mine, so I did some googling and followed a load of steps to do so, which included tampering with the registry. Suffice to say I royally fucked it up. I have just done a factory reset.

What are some cool things I can do with my fresh install of windows lads? I know nothing. Cosmetic changes, QoL stuff, browser stuff, addons, random programs you think of cool, I'm open to all suggestions.

>>1349
That is such a hilariously pointless thing to brick your computer over.

Thanks for that comment, I hadn't realised.

I've just found out that my problems weren't caused by my having done any of the registry stuff wrong. It was because my new user path had Japanese characters in it.

>>1353
Excellent job lad, truly excellent.

>>1353
I told you about weird characters lad, Microsoft pwns weeaboos. You need to have all kinds of things installed for East Asian languages, you have to use Locale Emulator just to run many Japanese-only applications. Windows fucking hates East Asian languages unless your whole system is geared up for it.

>>1355
Thats partly because east asians have a fetish for using non-unicode encodings which is such a pain from a programming point of view that microsoft just say fuck it and make it so the whole OS has to be based around them.

>>1356

Speaking of which, has this website fixed the aa tags yet? I made a fix and applied it to /britfeel/'s default board CSS, but got no reply when I brought it up on /meta/.

I'm not tech-chad enough to do that. I'd end up breaking something.

I was awake at that time but went back to sleep.

I've finally started learning about and being more conscious of Japanese pitch accent. I'm finding that I had a lot of them down without trying, because I so often repeat exactly what I've heard when studying with various audio materials, but I think it's going to be off when it comes to words I've learned through vidya, as it's all been reading and I've just winged the pronunciation. I've installed an Anki addon that looks up pitch accent and am going to look install a colour addon so I can categorise them by the 4 different pronunciation styles. For a little effort now I should be able to make it an unconscious habit.

I think my house plant has root rot, I'm not sure I'm skilled enough to take it out and separate the roots without killing it, is it over for my plant lads?

>>1361
If you just want to browse the web and stuff then linux is fine for that without the risk of breaking.

I doubt it would take much skill, most stuff is pretty durable when it comes to repotting. Just remove the dodgy ones and it should be fine. If it is rotting you have nothing to lose anyway.

>>1366
Good point, just worry about ripping the roots, needs fresh soil and to be held in fresh water for 24 hours or more and the rot trimmed away, I think it'll do okay after that, should have swapped the soil when I bought the poor bugger but I did not

Not sure I quite agree on Eve No Jikan being a slice of life in the same vein as many of the others. But if you do count it as one then I'd also strongly recommend Planetes, comfy hard sci-fi SoLish.

On that note, my esteemed anime experts, when it comes to Japanese voice acting, which animes characters are your favourite? I've been recording sentences from TV shows and youtube and adding them to flashcards and am looking for more interesting content.

>>1381
Even though I listed it I wouldn't say Eve no Jikan is a pure SoL, but it has some of that "candidly observing a slice of a person/people's daily lives" aspect, especially with all the camera angles that make it seem like you're watching the characters from afar or like a fly on the wall. People typically use SoL to describe shows that have a complete absence of heavy/dark themes a la CGDCTs, but there are shows like Haibane Renmei, Kino's Journey, and Mushishi that take a different approach, and I think it's somewhat in line with them.

>>1383
No problem lad, it helped me find some more shows to chuck on the backlog while I was going through the ones I'd already seen.

What else do you think in then? I sometimes think in pictures but it's very hard to imagine that making up the majority, how could you have complicated big boy thoughts then? Is it possible to think directly in concepts in a Platonic forms type of way or do you think you need words to represent them?

>>1394
You're putting the cart before the horse; the thoughts come first, words second. Whenever you speak or write something, even if you're just speaking "in your head", you're describing ideas and conclusions you'd already made in your brain without the use of your native language at all.

Music lad. Is this a good song or not?

Track 1, what an absolute banger. Who would have known there's such a treasure trove of undiscovered music out there, so similar to our own of that era (and in many cases better)? Unequivocally based. They are truly the British people of Asia.

Since the end of WW2, especially thanks to US occupation, a huge part of the Japanese music market was made up of American imports (much like here in the UK, and Japan later had a lot of British/European imports as well), which is why Japan shared a lot of the music trends that were happening in Western countries. Those trends often took off in Japan a couple of years after they'd started (and sometimes finished) in the West due to the time it took to get the records imported and released over there, and a lot of things we considered to be short-lived fads over here ended up becoming decades-long mainstays in Japan. This is why a lot of their homegrown music can sound very familiar, but still distinctly unique.

Didn't usually work the other way around though thanks to the time delay between Western trends and those same trends occuring in Japan; the only Japanese song I can think of that did really well in the West is "Sukiyaki" by Kyu Sakamoto (known in Japan under it's proper title "上を向いて歩こう"), which was a smash hit in the US/UK in 1963 (released in Japan 1961), and in a way signified Japan's return to the world stage. You might notice how similar it sounds to mid-late 1950s American pop music by the likes of Paul Anka and Bobby Darin, and that's no coincidence.

I've been making a conscious effort to use mnemonics to memorise new vocabulary lately and I must say I'm surprised at how effective they are. I'll link the new word to something that stands out in my head, think of the thing that it's linked to when I need to recall it, and then I can figure out the word easily in most cases. I know there are loads of different techniques out there. I think I vaguely remember a lad posting about one where you think of a house in your head and then link new things you want to remember to each room. Are you still posting? 

How would you all rate your memories?

>>1419
Excellent and shitty at the same time. Every couple of years I'll amass a vast database of knowledge on a particular subject or subjects, which I will be able to recall like a walking encyclopedia, until I start on a different subject which usually ends up overwriting a lot of the previous data. The number of individual fields where I've absorbed a significant amount of information is ridiculous, but at the same time, someone can ask me to do something while I'm downstairs, and by the time I've gone upstairs I'll not only have completely forgotten what they said, but even have forgotten the fact that they spoke to me at all.

>>1420
>usually ends up overwriting a lot of the previous data
I don't think stuff gets overwritten, as far as I understand it just means those neural pathways got weaker because you stopped using them, but they're still there, ready to be 're-activated' if ever you chose to delve into an old topic again, and they would probably come back very quickly. It's like muscle memory for the brain. 

>someone can ask me to do something while I'm downstairs, and by the time I've gone upstairs I'll not only have completely forgotten what they said, but even have forgotten the fact that they spoke to me at all.
I get that too, I think it happens when you don't care enough to remember or at least don't consciously make an effort to. I'm realising more and more that memory is an active process, and that unless something is of extreme significance it's probably not going to stick unless you actually work at it.

Do you ever use mnemonics?

>>1421
>they're still there, ready to be 're-activated' if ever you chose to delve into an old topic again
It's true to some extent, especially with things from my childhood which have been sitting dormant in the back of my mind for 20-25 years before being suddenly reactivated, but when I revisited anime after a 5 year break (and after having not seen some shows for 10+ years), I discovered that I remembered almost nothing about many of the hundreds of shows I'd seen.

I've rewatched some shows since then, even some that I remember liking, and it's like watching them for the first time because I don't remember any of the characters, plot twists, or even the endings. There was one entire manga I read last year, went to add it to MAL, and I discovered I'd already completed it in 2013. With some of the shows I've rewatched I've gone to download the soundtrack, only to find out I'd already downloaded it a decade ago. It's all just completely gone from memory, even though it was my primary interest at one point.

I can only assume it's because I cleanly dropped it without any intention of revisiting it for several years, and took on countless other information-heavy interests in that time.

>Do you ever use mnemonics?
Not really, unless you count a couple of really basic things like "Never Eat Shredded Wheat" (North East South West). I remember them trying to teach me a lot of that shite in school, but my problem was that I could never remember the mnemonic techniques in the first place. I mainly just pick things up as a knock-on effect of being deeply interested in a subject, and if I'm not that interested then I simply won't remember it, hence me doing shit in school but still ending up quite knowledgable in all the areas I actually wanted to be.
