Figured that since this thread is for anime-related stuff, maybe discuss visual novels as well? 
What are you reading, /late/non? 
I'm almost done with Subahibi and reading the second episode of Umineko.

Despite having friends IRL, I have literally never had any online friends. I feel like to some degree I want to, but at the same time I'm thinking "anything an online friend could do would be better done by actual friends, and they probably would feel the same about me, prioritizing their actual friends". Maybe people only have online friends when they don't have any real ones? It would be nice to have someone I could talk to about anything that was troubling me. What about you, do you have online friends?

This is a high schooler type vision of friendship used to exclude people you might otherwise feel too attached to, just put into fancier language.

You seem to forget people can be disingenuous liars, users, and fakes in real life.
>>3411
>genuineness and fakery are mutually exclusive
It's not that simple. I have known people who present themselves with a magnificent aire of pomp, and shameless taletelling braggarts, who on their surface are the fakest of fakes, but in truth are the most loyal friends you could find. Most seeming contradictions fall apart in application because life and people are strange and complicated.
>>3411
by genuine you mean real? opposed to fake or false, not sure what to make of that.
>what i mean is that genuine man is genuine everywhere. a fake man is fake everywhere.
while all truthfulness presupposes an idea of equality, we shall not call a man "fake" if he refuses to trust what have been proven to be untrustworthy. i continue, we are not only trusting the stranger on the web, but also the people who build or maintain this infrastructure (third-party software, protocols, operating systems and ISPs), which have been proven to be not entirely reliable.
>moral ambiguity, cards, fakery and expectations
you're describing a choleric constitution of mind, his conduct is artificial since he considers his own value and the value of his things and actions on the basis of the propriety or the appearance. he adopts all sorts of standpoints in order to judge his propriety or actions from the various attitudes of the onlookers; for he asks little about what he is, but only about what he seems. he is honored in his presence and criticized in his absence - he has no friends at all.
meanwhile, a steadfast man subordinates his sentiments to principles since they are the less subject to inconstancy and alteration, hence he troubles himself little about how others judge and what they hold to be good or true since he relies solely on his own insight.

>given the above discussion, i'd argue that any relationship here will degrade and extinguish, way before it can be called a friendship.
same as in real life most of the time. you're making an argument on the nature of a good man, which is not relevant and don't even want to talk about it. i only care for the result of other's studies: a good man maintains his goodness. therefore if somebody is adequate irl he's very likely gonna be adequate on the internet as well.

as for the relevant part of the discussion, you're not making any arguments at all. "deep" and "meaningful" connections don't exist in the real life for the most part, so defining friendship as mutual affection is a good way. defining it in terms if idealized philosophical ideas of loyal and self sacrificing values is just substituting terms. the ideal friends don't practically exist, especially in the church by the way. putting the ideal aside, affection over the internet is just a matter of circumstance, as in real life. real life simply gives more opportunities
Replies: >>3423

>self-sacrifice
herder did not mean that a man should sacrifice his freedom or will; if there is inequality involved, if he sacrifices them to a greater degree than his own friends or if he does this with respect to all his actions, he makes himself into a slave.
the rest has already been adressed. note that i never said anything about church or god, if i were you, i'd stop smoking these wiki articles.

NTA but you're touching upon conscience itself, which Science never could graps (and never will)
as the other anon said Science can measure wavelengths, describe them, create them, manipulate them but it will never understand why we perceive 450nm waves as blue or 650nm waves as red

It is through God that we can conceive it. A robot cannot contemplate perception. Only God can. This proves his existence. Science is blind. God isn't a man in the sky. God is the movement of universe itself.

Have you ever encountered love, real and genuine, anon? 

I did once, didn't workout and I thought everything I felt was just an illusion. But love can be a manifestation of the beautiful things inside of you, and that is very real. It don't need to belong to anyone or anywhere.

>love is real because abuse exists
They aren't opposites. People very often act abusive toward the object of their "love".
>The lack of it absolutely wrecked some of my friends
Cool anecdote. On the flipside, you see parents who believe they love their kids more than anything and wind up coddling and sheltering them so severely that they end up with pronounced social maladjustment in adulthood all the same. Either way, it sounds more like parental instinct or lack thereof. That doesn't have to be explained any deeper than some individuals attempt to set their offspring up so that they will hopefully continue the lineage while others don't care to plan that far ahead.
>If you hear someone claim that oxygen is a hoax and that people don't need to breathe would you even try to reason that person ?
This logic is not far off from certain groups who classify sex as a need. If love is so real and necessary, then I should be dead already. 30 minutes without oxygen will surely kill or permanently render someone a vegetable. Going 30+ years without so much as a hug sure hasn't felt life-threatening to me.
Marriages that are successful long-term certainly don't rely on "love" to survive. Familiarity breeds contempt. People who enter this union (that supposedly carries so much gravitas) together typically end up despising one another in short order. The ones which don't end in divorce hinge on shame and submission. Bargaining and conceding. It seems that chemicals fade to reveal that love really is just an idealization of sexual attraction.
>The only reason I didn't use the cheapest wojak I could find was because I want to keep the board nice and cozy
Well, you sure failed at achieving that. Your actual intent was just as I called it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have responded in the manner you did. Doesn't matter if it's a soyjak or some brooding cartoon character. The difference that choice made was completely negligible for the tone you aimed to convey.
If you truly want to "keep the board nice and cozy", try not responding with zero-effort shitposts that are clearly meant to accomplish nothing more than evoking negative emotions. It's been a struggle to take you seriously since that point.

>Going 30+ years without so much as a hug sure hasn't felt life-threatening to me.
Cool anecdote. On the flipside, you see the most prominent works of literature and art magnifying love, and scores of violent criminals that were mentally broken by loneliness and lack of love.

>30 minutes without oxygen will surely kill or permanently render someone a vegetable.
Your narrow materialistic view isn't as smart as you think it is, our life and wellbeing are deeply dependent on our social interactions. The human machine is orders of magnitude more complex than a tree that only lives with energy, carbon and water.
Another cool anecdote for you is that the "social" interactions of plant life strongly influence their wellbeing by regulating the penetration of sunlight (and as a consequence, temperature deregulation and water evaporation) as well as other mutually beneficial interactions that improve stability and resilience (some treets even share their water through their roots so yes, the presence of other trees can make a big difference). Being much more conscious than plants, why would humans be any less conscious of the threat of isolation than they are of the danger of thirst or hunger ? Generosity, after all, has saved countless lives, it spared just as many from cruelty as it did from tragedy, it consistently had a substantial influence in the preservation and proliferation of life. How's that for a cartoon narrative ?
I'm not surprised at all this reality escapes your notice, as your narrow materialistic worldview's natural conclusion is always a hedonistic, materialistic, individualistic outlook that negates any significance of life beyond the individual.

No amount of irony will ever manage to hide the fact that your edgelord beliefs about life are pants-on-head absurd and can be dismissed with a soyjak.

>Marriages that are successful long-term certainly don't rely on "love" to survive. Familiarity breeds contempt. People who enter this union (that supposedly carries so much gravitas) together typically end up despising one another in short order.
And I guess you draw this observation from your extensive experience in the matter ? Seriously, consider this: you unironically claim to believe that people who have long, stable marriages actually hate each other. This is lunacy, even by the standards of anonymous internet boards.
Claiming that affection boils down to sexual attraction is a typical symptom of this materialistic silliness (*cough* Freud *cough*) that ends up toying with the idea that parental love can't be so different from sexual attraction. Utter lunacy.

It's literature. Documentaries on real crime show that most of it is greed or severe mental illness. Don't fall for this feministic propaganda.

Ehh, doesn't take much tbh.

*  STAY HYDRATED!111!!ONE!!!  Winter can be exceedingly dry, so you can dehydrate w/o really noticing it -- especially if you're exerting yourself (like climbing up hills).
*  LAYERS  If it's frigid, just bring a bunch of socks, shirts, pants to add more layers.
*  BOOTS  It's very important to keep your feet warm & dry. Have good wool socks on hand. BTW, if you lose feeling in your toes, YOU'RE HAVING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY...
Deal with it immediately!!
*  High-calorie nommies like chocolate trail mix is essential for comfy times in the wilderness.
*  Hot choco or other nice beverages, too (see above).
*  Strictly limit alcohol. None at all is even better.  :)
*  A good hunting knife. Essential for every man anyway, so yeah.

I hope you all don't mind posting this here. It took quite some time to figure out how to compile this (old) version.

I've created a Minetest (now called luanti) 0.4.17.1 server.

IP/Port: haton.top:30000
You'll need version 0.4.17.1 to join.
Download it here: https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/releases/tag/0.4.17.1

Read the rules here: https://haton.top/minetest.htm
