Merry Christmas. I'm an anon from 8chan, and we are organizing our inter-board Christmas event. This project aims to gather around anons from different imageboard and anonymous communities from all around internet during a weekend and celebrate Christmas together. The planned date is December 14 and 15 and it's going to be here https://8chan.moe/christmas you can make your "embassy" thread talking about your IB, its history and local memes.

I hope to see you there. If you have any other questions please make me know, I'll be more than grateful to answer.

It's certainly worse, such as it is. At least it has less influence than 8chan did when it got corrupted by the glownigger, so there's that at least.

Nah, it's far better than 8prime, to begin with, the source code is far better, it has better infrastructure and global moderation does care about small boards. And in regards of influence, it's growing slowly, pretty much everybody knows it's just a matter of time before 4chan fucks something up and it gets a migration at the same level of gamergate in 2014.

>Prozac mentioned
It's neat to see him here. Prozac and Nobody are two enigmas that have never been cracked. I remember when Prozac used to cycle what was on the site every few months. I wonder what he's doing nowadays. Somebody on IA posted all of the YouTube season and first season of Nobody, though he's missing the second season and a certain movie. I hope no one on YouTube ever brings eyes on them. Years ago, Prozac and Nobody lashed out at that poo who recently covered /late/.
theres this weird site/artpiece/schizo rambling collection thing called "Spook...."  . i dont think its "real", maybe some sort of early ARG/viral guerrila marketing or just weird art. the way i found it was on an ancient " /x/ creepy stuff iceberg" image, when they used to be good. the guy who did it is this fairly small artist from nyc that has done other art pieces at museums and some stuff online and seems to be active on ig. if you go on it youll understand better but it says that it was started as a project because this guy who ran an artzine back in the late 90s early 00s got a bunch of pings from a military email/ip and decided to track it(? im bad at computers) and it was basically looking at a bunch of schizo conspiracy and alien stuff. mostly alien stuff. it goes seriously deep , you can follow links that go into links for dozens of pages and different sites from back in the old internet. some of the pages are berry shrimple containing just links, some seem to be unrelated govt agencies (like a generic science grant money agency, for example), one page i got had like 20.000 word manifesto of some "alien truth" group called the nexus/nexus 7(???). about 20-25% of the links dont work anymore. artpiece or legitimate, its super creepy/interesting and has a real Deus ex vibe to it. Heres a link to it. browse at your own risk, but i think its safe(?)

It's in Japanese...you can find some of it archived (for now), but then you'd have to translate it on top of that. I need to learn Japanese.

It seemed like a live chat thingy, I don't know if it was structured around specific topics or what.

Anyway, when I do view the archived version, I see someting that was from the 90's, so I get that melancholic nostaligic whatever you wanna call it feeling.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
