/late/ - Late Nights

>I often wonder if there are extraterrestrials who are living or working on earth that either look close enough to us that it's hard to notice or are disguised as us? It's an interesting thing that i often think about in my free time, even since i was a kid. There was a guy in my town that lived close to me as a teen who was tall at around 7ft, super skinny and super white with white hair who just looked weird. It was pretty easy to notice him but the way he walked without swinging his arms and despite saying hi to him, he would not even look at us and just carry on walking made me and my friends think he was an alien or just had a problem since his eyes were far enough apart to fly a 737 in between.
There are actually rumors of that kind of thing going on and secret alien-human hybridization programs. It honestly wouldn't surprise me. I don't necessarily think the aliens are extraterrestrials though.

Well i imagine that they would have a weird accent and would eat weird foods. Would never be able to tell because you can't just walk up to people and say "hey, you do weird things and wear weird clothes so are you an alien?" Maybe they are among us but not like the average people would know, maybe not even the governments. Maybe just here to check how we are doing and run some science experiments.

>would eat weird foods
I remember reading otherworldly entities can't eat leavened foods like a bunch of breads, also can't consume salt or at least quantities of it and i think can't digest unstructured water very well.

They're called jews

Mosquito netting?  Usually a window has a mesh screen on the outer window frame.  Wouldn't be too hard to rig up.

>>2085
yeah i think i'm gonna one of these mosquito nets that take the entire windows frame. I saw they're cheap on ali express

Cinnamon. Lurk more.

>>2085
Ive been systematically setting these up everytime I move somewhere, they work wonders

I feel weirdly optimistic.

realize that if it's indifferent it also means it never fucks you over intentionally and that other people with free will do

>>2071 (OP) 
>Is there any hope?
As long as there is free time there will be someone doing things for the love of it
Be scared of men with no free time as they are slaves to the most basic of needs

Clearly you don't know what the word indomitable means. Nothing is over, not by a long shot. Dehumanize yourself and face to bloodshed or go out with a whimper my friend. The final defeat is when you start to despair and never stop, don't give it to em. You're better than that

>>2071 (OP) 
> How to deal with the cold indifference of the universe
By doing what one wants
>Is there any hope?
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it only prolongs the torments of man

Lurk. For more than two years.

I don't remember much from the early years, I rarely stopped in myself. But I always appreciated the slower pace and some of the crew were (and are!) pretty cool cats. I remember one of the members used to engage and ask questions - almost like a curious AI bot... surreal for the time because this was years ago.

>>2379
If only the AI we suffer through today were curious...

>>2373 (OP) 
I'm going to give you 3 truths and 1 lie. You must determine which is/are which.

We even had our own site at one point.

Hey buddy, I think you've got the wrong door, /tech/'s five boards down.

getting scared at night is just human evolution

I ain't a scientist, but I know that sometimes when your brain is lacking sensory input (i.e. a lack of light), it will overcompensate with certain senses. Maybe your brain is on that wavelength

>>2230
No, it's the oposite of that effect, since things are less noticable when it's (potentially coinidenally) dark.

I for one feel like AI's presence is both a blessing and a curse when it comes to a creative medium.

As a blessing, it can help artists rediscover form, rediscover style, explore composition, pose,  it shows just how important lighting is, and it shows the value of handcrafted works, and how the human element matters in art.

As a curse, it looks good to those who don't look at it. But when you look closer, even outside obvious thinks like hands, there are incongruencies that are plainly-obvious to those who simply zoom in, or look closer at the generated images. Even if a non-artist looks closer, they can spot problems with the art.

But the worst of the curse? The people. The people looking to profit off of AI, or looking to use it as a quick means to save money. The people who hold control over the jobs who make creative works possible. They're banking on "AI" being something that will save them hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs and they're banking on it even if it destroys the livelihoods of real artists who put real work into the art- even if it is just dumb, soulless corporate paper-clipping-flat-bullshit.

And on top of these frat/sorority-club types in big business who wish to cut corners everywhere, are the braindead morons who hate the machien think that the machine is the one threatening them. It's like a tree who blames the axe for the chopping the lumberjack does- dumb, misplaced, and completely towards the wrong target. The axe is unthinking, unfeeling,

Not exactly a creepypasta, but certainly /x/ fare. Found this one on Endchan, I will try to find some more Anon.

My dumbass posted them in the wrong order, also, sorry for leaving my namefag on, forgot to take it off from earlier.

Here is one from the original /late/. Well, not the ORIGINAL /late/, but the independent one. I took this one from a repost on zzzchan,

Tried to take a sip of water from my thermos, but it was full of ground beef.

I keep have a vivid recurring dream. The circumstances vary in every instance, but generally follows like this:

I'm in large building/mansion that seems to have been made in the early 1800s. I'm looking for a woman I must save, she's a fiance for another man I know (I know him in the dream, but doesn't exist in real life). I say "save", because the building is on fire and is rapidly being consumed. On my way to find her, I come to a dead-end hallway with 6 doors, 3 on the left, 3 on the right. Each have a single bed-ridden occupant that seem aware of the fact they're in danger, but also relaxed about it. I try to rescue and talk sense into them, but they don't wish to be saved, they'd rather die in the fire and tell me I'm running out of time and to save myself.

I always find the woman on the very top floor. When I finally find her, she quickly dies from the fire. When I make it outside her fiance is waiting, and I dread what I have to tell him. I tell him I couldn't save her, and he goes off to commit suicide. I had this dream again last night. In that version, there was a zombie apocalypse and the mansion had butlers with French accents and exaggerated megaphones for heads. They welcomed me in at first, but later started shooting me.

Every time I wake from this dream it takes me a few minutes to process none of it was real, because it feels like what I went through actually happened.

>>1991
Maybe you can come document this every time it happens? I'd be interested to know how else the dreams vary and how often they happen

>>1997
I'd say this happened at least 3 times in the past 30 days. If I have this dream again, I'll fill you in on the details. Maybe one of these nights I'll be able to save someone.

Earlier today I was aware of having sleep paralysis while dreaming. It's the first time I've ever had that happen that I can clearly remember. I was desperately asking for someone to help me, but I don't think they heard me.

I'd really like to join Starfleet.

>>1826
You. I like you, Anon (no homo). Don't let your dreams be just memes!  :D

I want to find people like me and have a bunch of close friends. Ultimately, I want to trust

My biggest is probably being a mysterious master musician who flies under the radar of the general public.

To cease to exist in a sense. I wish I became a shadow person. Without identity. With a face that cannot be remembered. To be able to walk into anywhere and leave only to dissipate like a mirage. I dont want anyone to know me, or remember me. To be beyond invisible. I want to be nothing.
