Man I am so pumped for winter this year. Cant fucking wait, fuck summer, fuck humidity, fuck bugs. I just wanna be bundled up in my cool winter clothes and just be comfy as shit. If none of you have ever been winter camping, its worth it, just make sure you have the proper gear.

>Only good thing is eating bread with some soothing tea in your thermos whilst the wind coos outside.
Sounds comfy!

>What about you anon?
Well it's finally tapering off the long stretch of 100-110+ temp days now, and it's pretty comfy-cool at nights. So yeah, nice time of year.
>>2494
>If none of you have ever been winter camping, its worth it
Yeah I've done that many times, it's the best.

>just make sure you have the proper gear.
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 wasn't looking forward to fall or winter last year, and I'm definitely not looking forward to it this year. I really dislike the climate I live in.

Let's talk about torrenting and such.

I want to start with a question. 
What's your preferred torrent client and why? 
On my end I use QbitTorrent cause i don't know any better.

thepiratebay.org for movies and films is one of the best.

These are the ones I use:
https://solidtorrents.to/
https://1337x.to/
rtorrent which is a terminal client
I used to love using it on my computer but now it runs on my server that I access through SSH and it downloads at the speed of light and seeds all night long

The worst part about getting sick is how it fucks up your circadian rythm. After being bedridden for a day and a half I need to somehow get back in bed and get enough sleep to make it through work tomorrow. And with my luck going to work on five hours of sleep will just make me get sick again.

Feel better; and I hear ya. 

I usually just try to hide and ride it out on cold meds but that doesn't always work depending on your coworkers and their density. It's rough pretending to care on hangover or sniffles days!
>>2623 (OP) 
Winter always fucks up my circadian rhythm, then once daylight savings hits, good-night. I'm tired all the time and feel like I'm running a fever.

This is a thread for talking about music. Not necessarily sharing it. I never feel like I have an opportunity to talk about music.

I was listening to Vashti Bunyan in my car the other day, and it didn't sound as good as it usually does through my headphones, and I think it was the acoustics. In David Byrne's book he talks about that music used to be made to be listened to on front porches or in concert halls, then it was made to be listened to on sound systems. He then speculates that it will soon catch up to the present and be made to listen to in the unique acoustic environment of a headphone. I think that already happened by accident. Off the top of my head Vashti Bunyan and Nick Cave come to mind as musicians who flew under the radar until the headphone age, and while certainly the internet has played a major role in that, I think, moreso, it's that their ethereal vocals and strong melodies read with such a beautiful clarity through the acoustics of headphones, when played in a room it sounds muddy.

Since the fall of 8chan. Say 8chan did not get taken down and survived into today, how would things be? What would the culture be like in 2024? Would it have grown in more users or bled users?

It likely would have experienced a resurgence with soyjak.party newfags and then Gamergate 2. It would have continued being the big 4chan alternative. Jim would be making money off of it. 

It would be way better than the webring.

All those pipe dreams ITT presupposes that the tech wouldn't crap its pants like a inbred Habsburg attending rave and was actually updated. Remember how shit Infinity became over time? This is why the cripple hired N00l as sole developer of Infinity Never to begin with. I will ignore his actual motive for joining the Infinity dev team of finding out who was talking shit about him on /cow/ so I can rant more about Image board software Therefor I think it is impossible to have any idea how the culture would have changed over the last 5 years, because the the site itself would be different. For starters there might had been a working over board. Do you have any idea what a blessing this would have been? There would be more communities besides /pol/, /cow/ and /v/. Soyack.party newfags would have filled the place with shit that feel edits. What some don't even know that the soyack party itself was a good target for mockery due to its sped admins. Then there are the people involved. You have no idea how Mork and Nepfag would have reacted to a flood of tourists or how CM would have run the place if the cripple didn't sabotaged it by criminial means. Yeah, there is a reason why he is living in California instead of the "best country in the world" right now.

>When a site goes offline, some of the users never come back because they are posting in that forum or imageboard out of habit. And when it disappears, they don't search a new one because they lost interest a long time ago.
This strikes a chord, it really does.

I've got a crew. The ship's been dashed upon the rocks and we may never be able to patch it back together again, but we keep in touch. Some more than others. I'm the others, but I've always been a bit of a rogue, and that's how I like it. I've got my own adventures to go on alone.

Anime reminds me too much of my teen years. Severely unwell, staying up late watching Adult Swim, emotionally living through cartoons on the screen. If I start to get invested in an anime I can feel my head getting teleported back to that time and it'll mess me up for days. I usually avoid watching any of it now. I'm a grown man with a wife, kids, a career. I have my shit together, but there's something hidden in me I don't really think or talk about that reacts strongly to it. I spent many years getting comfortable in my depression and can feel it calling me to revert back into a type of sadsack that's entirely below me now. Seeing the big, interwoven friendships in anime are the worst part. I always wanted a devoted group of friends when I was growing up and was too isolated to have it. I tried to pull people together, but I was always the "optional" member in those groups throughout gradeschool. By the time I became somebody people flock to, my life was moving too fast to fit in much of anybody outside of my family. I have a beautiful life now with very little to complain about. I'll have my oldest friend over to grill on occasion. I get meaning from mentoring young men who have no idea I'm even capable of feeling this way. I just can't watch Evangelion without feeling like I'm 14 again and nothing has changed.

Interesting case. While I think all male souls have some tendencies in these directions, yours seems a bit extreme IMO. Shouldn't feel surprised though that you feel you 'have little time' now. Kinda obvious effect when you leave behind copious introspection in life.

Glad you've 'found your way' in life. Just don't forget your roots, and remember there's a God above. Cheers, Anon.  :)

I'm partial to inca kola myself. My girlfriend got me some for my birthday one year and it's been a staple since. There's nothing else quite like it. Iron Bru has a much stronger and less refreshing taste.

Greetings from the Tahuantinsuyo, I hope you get the Lemon Verbena flavor directly from Peru, as the export plastic Inca Kola doesn't taste nearly as good.

Try Lomo Saltado and Chicha Morada too.

tegaki uses HTML5 Canvas. i assume you're connecting to here through Tor which i believe blocks Canvas by default because it can be exploited as a fingerprinting technique. that's why your tegaki is colorful vertical bars: whenever you see this glitch, it's because of Canvas being blocked. i wonder why. i hope someone smarter than me can explain it.
Replies: >>2742

I confirm it's due to canvas fingerprinting mitigation like Tor uses or if you use an add-on to block it.

The anons talking about their times in the Mississippi banks was pretty comfy. I'd never heard of the driftless area before, but it sounds mythical. I'd like to start a thread like that here. You're welcome to post your stories and adventures on walks in the city or out and about in nature, I'd love to read them.

That's neat :) I hope you get up there one day. Parts of nature like that always attract a strangeness Maybe because it, itself, is an anomaly in nature where thousands of miles can seemingly look the exact same. Strangeness attracting strange people. I don't mean strange in a bad way either...


I'm glad that brought on some nostalgia! It's always feels the best when it occurs naturally through something you read or see.

>Going at night is better but never allowed, which I hate..
I know that feel. My sleep/wake schedule (can't remember the word) is both longer than other people's (about 30 hours), and I also prefer the night simply because the annoyance of other people's noise is much less (usually) overnights. So I naturally tend towards being awake/working overnights.

Once, I went to totally-wasn't-trespassing-after-hours-though a state park to try and spot a huge owl I'd seen earlier at night there. Fortunately I had a really nice Meade spotting scope with me, because when I came out a police cruiser was blocking my car in, with it's lights flashing (no siren).

I waited for the cops to come back out, then distracted them by using the telescope to show them Jupiter and it's moons, which satisfied them I guess because they didn't give me any further shit after that.

Been listening to Rambling Jack Elliot again. In 912 Greens he ends the song with a verse.
>Have you ever stood and shivered just because you were looking at a river?
I was in that last thread. It's been many years now, since I was there, on the banks, in winter, but when I close my eyes I can still glints of moonlight dancing on shattered ice in the blackness of night, and hear it crackle and break in the force of the current, and feel the cold breeze come off the water. Amongst my generally hazy memories this stands out for its crispness, its clarity, and its completeness.

Ohh, I didn't realize. Why don't you look into taking it over from the other radio anon? Maybe he has some issues going on r/n that makes it difficult. Certainly everyone here enjoys having lateradio, and he did a good thing by fulfilling that need.

Maybe you can too, Anon?

>Why don't you look into taking it over from the other radio anon?
This thought has come across me more than once. /late/station is one of my favorite things on the internet, I listened to it all the time. I know radio-anon is extremely busy and its made it hard for them to manage /late/station. Currently I'm in a similar boat. I can't reasonably take over or make a new one, at least not yet. When I get my work for the next few months out of the way and if the radio is still not up and running, I might just put together a new radio for late. I'd get in as many of the OG songs in as I could, use the old wallpapers, and include a counter for how many people were listening in.
these always remind me of /late/, i suppose for obvious reasons
