WE CAN TALK NUMBERS
>>690676472
Filtered by subjective tastes, yes, but you can do that with much greater precision by learning to tag on proper porn stes (hint: -mlp on e621), and you also have the massive bulk of posters who never post porn under any circumstances here. It is very clearly not fit for purpose.
>>690676658
They have to sign up for the draft now, it'd be nice if we started making them be.
>>690676806
what's an example?

>ben folds
he is very ok
I do not know any of the others really
>>690677130
Tragically no. Female genocide never.
>>690676986
I actually quite like health. It's rather difficult to sound like that, I suspect there's a lot of microphone wizardry going on but I probably could.
>>690677212
>>690677212
Fixed
>>690676979
Eh, it's just a manner of opinion. I like the porn, the conversation is nice, not a whole lot else to it.
Besides, where else would I go to be called a goddamn idiot while posting porn?
Oh wait, that's u18...
>>690677335
it's a guy whispering into a mic and they turn it waaay up
ben folds is much better than okay
>>690677535
It's not just whispering, there's pitch there. I do like it though.
I think he's an excellent songwriter but his voice is nondescript, to me. Then again someone told me chris martin was an amazing singer the other day and I find all of these people...well, fine, but not very interesting, so maybe I perceive this differently.
>>690677517
I operate under the assumption that most people don't like being called idiots.
HELLO SNUGGLES
>>690677755
no i have seen them live
both with amps and without
he is speaking VERY softly
hello
>>690677755
>I operate under the assumption that most people don't like being called idiots.
Eh, it doesn't do anything for or to me. Words on the internet can't hurt you. If they can, there's more wrong with you than the person typing them.
I guess that works?
>>690677335
Would you live on a planet populated only by handsome men, sf?
HELLO FRIEND
PLEASE POST CUTE BOYS
hi snuffles
>>690677880
I WILL have to actually sing once in awhile. And be loud. Or I'll get bored.
>>690678000
God if only.
>>690677932
So again, I fail to see why you come here as opposed to elsewhere.
Ultimately all I want from you is to not say stupid shit, though. Post porn, chat, whatever. Just please, god, don't be stupid around me. It's bad for me.
>>690678124
no cute boy folder
supply me for now instead
>>690678000
Baaah you're no fun
>>690678196
my collection grows pretty slowly
I save rarely and prune often
it's like a bonsai tree of shota
>>690678181
we'll sing a duet~
>>690678346
that description is rather elegant
>>690678435
oh it'll be lovely
can we kiss at the end
>>690677932
Just laugh them off they hate that.
>>690678528
i am surprisingly tactful
Red always says stupid shit. Like loving people unconditionally.
>>690678181
What kind of men would you suit first?
>>690678206
Isnt he that sparking vampire faggot from that woman masturbation book?

The white ones.
>>690678723
You didn't answer my question darling.
also m-maybe
>>690678181
>I fail to see why you come here as opposed to elsewhere.
Like I said before, the porn is good and the conversation is nice. I'm enjoying the chat we're having right now. It's enthralling.
>all I want from you is to not say stupid shit
>It's bad for me
If my making an off handed remark, that wasn't even directed at you specifically, is enough to be "bad for you" can I encourage you to seek some mental help? That level of inability to cope with differing opinions is extremely unhealthy, and I'm genuinely concerned about your ability to exist in the world.
>>690678626
No need to laugh, I love him and he loves me. We're all a big happy family!!!
>>690678743
Right book, wrong character.
He's a native american shapeshifting werewolf, and the actor is native american too
>>690678743
>Red always says stupid shit. Like loving people unconditionally.
Hey, I like looking at the world through rose tinted glasses, it's a much more pleasant place.
:3
>>690678967
actually the stupid thing you said was in direct response to me. It was very, very dumb.
It's not actually bad for me, I'm just trying to coax some sympathy out of you.
hello sf
actually a whole song of sloppy makeout noises would make everyone super uncomfortable
so yes we will be doing that

We're also literally just going to rape avery on stage
he's not here so don't tell him about that it's gonna be a surprise
It's ART
>>690679235
how're you doing
>>690679180
As I recall, all I said (without linking to anyone's comment, your or otherwise) was "Oh god, are we doing politics? Politics are so depressing" and you took it upon yourself to correct me.
>I'm just trying to coax some sympathy out of you.
Oh, well I'm very sorry that your unable to cope with people who have different opinions then, you have my complete sympathy! Oooh, come to think of it, you'd be good as a politician!
Snuffles, save this thread.
No!
he's delicate!
ur all faggots etc etc
>>690679502
playing pokken tournament
watching this thread
dying slowly like we all are
and you?
>>690679662
I can't I wish I could
That's what'll make it so shocking.
>>690679567
Oh no it wasn't that, it was the thing you said AFTER I replied to you that made me irate.
I have a problem with vacuous generalizations that are unjustified (as opposed to empirically robust generalizations). It is not that your opinion is different. It is that your opinion is predicated on nothing. It is not worth sharing.
>>690679830
replace pokken with melee
ditto

I won't allow it

>>690680079
My my how forward~
i think our band would sound like the intro to this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSqx8KY-D20
pokken tournament is the best fighting game I've ever played
melee included
>>690680211
Right, you would lose.
That would be embarrassing
damn wrong link

>>690679918
>Oh no it wasn't that, it was the thing you said AFTER I replied to you that made me irate.
Ah, okay. That does make some more sense.
>It is not worth sharing.
Well I see that as a matter of interpretation. See, it sparked this whole, lovely, conversation. I get to go to bed with a wonderful new point of view to consider and take with me.
>>690680079
>You're being DUMB
Oh Nibi, you're too cute.
>>690680307
no I just would feel bad for completely destroying you
just not worth the effort
anyway night homos
Fine we can rape...someone else who's in the band I don't really care. Rape needs to happen.
>>690680238
Do you want to physically fight me to the death
>>690680335
I'd like the levels to be a little more consistent but I like it.
>>690680439
I mean in a manner of speaking if you wanted to coax conversation out of me being an idiot is effective yes but you could also...not. It's not like I'm reticent about talking about anything.
>>690680211
Thats not how percentages work you MORON
>>690680221
Oh should I be more discrete?
Let me take off my cloths
>>690680439
Askin to get raped
I think it would be you
you would be getting hateraped
and no that would not be unsettling
>>690680535
melee is simple and boring
tekken plus pokemon however is not
>>690679830
Nooooooooooo!
>>690680535
>being an idiot is effective
Well ask Nibi, I'm not good for much else, it seems.
>>690680797
>Askin to get raped
It's not rape if I'm willing.
I'm going to pretend not to like that.
And it's not the unsettling part I dislike, it's having to strain to hear part of the music. There is a difference between unsettling and annoying.
>>690680896
Define simple for me.
>>690680921
why would you take pride in this though
im really bad at guitar help
me too, also a bad singer. Come play music badly with david and avery and I. We're going to be avant garde

>why would you take pride in this though
It's not an issue of taking pride in something or not, I genuinely do not put any stock into the opinions of anonymous internet strangers. Your opinions of me do not change, alter or affect my being. I just find it funny.
i only like the intro to that song
and washing machine
>>690681155
practice for 8 hours every day for the next five years
you can't do that you aren't allowed to be good at guitar.
>>690681405
Well sadly that ship sailed when I hit puberty.
>>690681346
How about a romantic dinner with candles?
>>690681332
ok lets go
will i be a rich rockstaR?
Of course you don't like the part where it has actual energy.
>>690681527
Ok yeah quality post.
>>690681548
I don't actually believe you but we're past the point of this conversation being interesting since you did the yadda yadda I find it funny thing.
>>690681704
if we ever sell a single album it will be a miracle
why would i like that
i really like hypnotic music i think
>>690681666
thanks snufs
legit thou I've been practicing an hour a day for the last 6 or 7 years, it's hard stuff and I don't really try ahrd enough to get legitimatley good.
>>690681772
my mom might buy one
do you HAVE any energy?
>>690681944
does your mom have any taste or human decency? Because I wouldn't recommend it to her if so.
>>690681741
>since you did the yadda yadda I find it funny thing.
So you put a lot of stock into what the people here think of you?
>>690681741
you expected more?
>>690681944
you're obviously better than I am
a 12 string guitar might not have been a good start but eh
>>690681676
Sorry, I only save the candles, incense, and massage oil for the cute ones.
yes tons
I am also on amphetamines like half the time
So your musical taste is a regression to your premedicated state.
>>690682077
Well, yes. I like people here. I care about their opinions.
>>690682179
I wouldn't say "expected."
>>690682077
He's an avatarfag, of course he does.
>>690682019
I mean
not really
tell frekl he's a dumbass for me pls
>>690682179
12 strings are nice but really impractical
I mean you can only do so much with them and you can learn to play 12 string songs on a 6 string so there's really no erason to own one unless you're actually performing for people.
>>690682509
well ok then we have a buyer congratulations gang
done
>>690682243
Oh that cuts deep Nibi. I know you jerk off to thoughts of me.
>>690682370
>Well, yes. I like people here. I care about their opinions.
Interesting. I think this might be where part of our misunderstanding is coming from. See, I'm not trying to be dismissive when I say "Oh, I find it funny"
I just genuinely think it's amusing that someone who has never met me, whose only exposure to me is via text and porn, can feel such a strong sense of disdain for me. It's hilarious. I guess we just view the interactions here differently.
>>690682370
I just like it more it's new and different and its pokemon therefore I like it more than melee
>>690682509
my teacher could play classical Spanish guitar on a 12 string and I was just... fucking floored. I was trying to help out with a bluegrass garage thing we were doing but I never did anything with it. It's a real shame because I love music, never had the drive to become anything more with it though.
>>690682882
Nah, you told me you're fat.
i need to reorganize my porn
thought of doing that hydrus thing but it seems like a bitch to keep up with
no i have even more energy then don't you know
i like music that calms me
That makes sense.
>>690682882
I HAVE met you. I have interacted with the part of you that matters to me—the language center of your brain is presenting me with the concepts I react to. What else of you is meaningful to interact with? Your physical body sure but that's pretty secondary for conveying thoughts.
>>690683011
I wouldn't have bothered comparing them to begin with since they're different genres.
>>690683011
But Melee's not that great.
>>690682652

>>690683011

keep practicing :D
also ilu I hasn't talked at you for a very very rather extremely long time and ur a sweetiepatooti

>>690683356
jump off a bridge snarf
>>690683409
I'll assume he responded directly to you
>>690683166
So you're a chaser? I never would have figured you for one.
>>690683318
>What else of you is meaningful to interact with?
Perhaps a conversation with some more depth than what's predicated by posting porn? Has it occurred to you that I may not put a ton of effort into my posting because it's a shallow topic to begin with? I don't believe we've ever directly talked, regardless.
>>690683498
he did not
it's also why i like noise so much
it just blankets everything
i like to take my glasses off when i listen to music so that i can't see anything either
>>690683514
Why do you think I abhor low quality posting? It is all a reflection of YOU. The low quality posts are as "you" as the things you think are meaningful. Those posts are the worst of you.
Porn is seldom an actual topic of conversation here.
And no we haven't talked before. I didn't pay attention to you or think about you until you said something very dumb earlier, about a topic that is not in fact shallow.
>>690683575
then he is not paying attention.
If you have lots of natural energy why are you on uppers
>>690683765
yeah he's playing overdumb isntead of paying attentiont o me
>>690683976
I suspect avery learned rather long ago the technique of ignoring literally everything you don't feel like dealing with right at that moment.
>>690683514
You disgust me
BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE THEM AND NOW I REALLY LIKE THEM
i'm sooo overstimulated all the time
I feel like there will be negative consequences for using those given your general energy levels but I wouldn't know for sure I'm not a pharmacist.
>>690684115
im workign on it
i was like 6
i didn't know any better

jesus christ you've been on them that long?
>>690684406
learning the technique or getting his attention?
>>690683765
>about a topic that is not in fact shallow.
I recall you being the one to infer that it was shallow. I just said that I dislike politics and politicians.
>The low quality posts are as "you" as the things you think are meaningful.
Well here's where I could use a few more IQ points, because I'm having trouble following what you mean. Are you suggesting that my posting in a porn thread after a long day at work, and while distracted between another project, are the same and a representation of me just as equally as sitting down to have a thoughtful, in depth discussion about a topic?
Because I feel that's like comparing how someone might talk while giving an important business presentation to how they talk about a sports team in the bar after work. The conversations will carry a different tone and topic.
If, however, what you're suggesting is that your only exposure to myself as an individual is the low quality posting, and therefore there's nothing more of substance to judge me on, I can't argue with that. But again, have we really had the opportunity to find out if that's all there is? It would be nice to be given a chance before branded an imbecile.
yeah
>>690684624
getting him to stop being dumb
How do you even know what "natural" is then.
>>690684754
No, I said your analysis was shallow.
>Are you suggesting that my posting in a porn thread after a long day at work, and while distracted between another project, are the same and a representation of me just as equally as sitting down to have a thoughtful, in depth discussion about a topic?
I'm saying that that is what you present to the world. And I was not judging your porn posting by the way, nor any of the verbal content that accompanies it. I got angry because of exactly one thing you said that was idiotic. There's a difference between a low effort post and a low quality post, right? If, say, avery and I post reaction images back and forth at one another, there's nothing really stimulating going on there we're just posting to past the time. But if avery says something uninformed and declarative, he's now demonstrated himself an idiot. THAT'S the point where judgment occurs.
Note: avery is not an idiot.
>>690684840
good luck with that
>>690685211

>>690685211
>Note: avery is not an idiot.

david have you ever listened to death cab for cutie

>>690685402
he isn't
he's dumb but he's not an idiot
you see

haha
>>690685478
love is watching someone die
>>690685478
DUNNO BOUT THAT
>>690685211
>I got angry because of exactly one thing you said that was idiotic
I would still suggest you seek some help for that, a lot of people say very idiotic things, I'd hate to think of the ulcers you'll develop if you let them get to you that much.
>if avery says something uninformed and declarative, he's now demonstrated himself an idiot.
Well then, that seems like a very fair point. For the sake of giving you the sympathy you crave then, how can I best help you by not demonstrating myself to be an idiot?
After all, I care about you and your sensibilities.

Don't pontificate on topics about which you are ignorant or make unsubstantiated declarative statements.
mleeh
>>690686134
>Don't pontificate on topics about which you are ignorant or make unsubstantiated declarative statements.
Ah, and I'm sure I can count on you to tell me when I'm being ignorant, of course.
I am having a nice time
I lied when I said I would celebrate your death
I would miss you on the inside
>>690685871
Would you two fuck already?
>>690686443
WHAT DO YOU THINK I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO THE WHOLE TIME?!
We used to get along pretty well, I didn't really think you meant it.
>>690686419
Is the nature of ignorance not obvious to you? If you do not know something about an issue, if you have an idea in your head but don't know how to defend or explain it, you are ignorant about that thing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0DEmNo1zGk
This conversation is way more fun than sex.
what if you were having this conversation during sex
so who here tried to kill trump, come on
oh gosh you're gonna make me cry
>>690686654
>Is the nature of ignorance not obvious to you?
Oh no, it makes perfect sense. I'm simply trying to accommodate you and your sensitive abilities to listen to other people.
I don't want to trigger you anymore, is all. I'm trying to be considerate, you see.
>>690686892
That's what I'm talkin' about.
>>690686909
katia probably smoothered him with her giant tits
I don't believe THAT.
>>690686892
I can think of a few reasons that's not terribly likely.
>>690686909
well the only 19 year old brit we have is that guy who posts nick wilde
>>690686729
that thing scares me
>>690687018
Much obliged. In any case if you know what ignorance is, don't do it any longer. It is not very difficult to avoid.
>>690687026
Explosive tits
I've been crying sometimes lately
don't judge
What's wrong
don't be ashamed of your tears
be ashamed of keeping company with those who won't understand them
nothing i just let emotions happen now
I don't know how that works. I never cry randomly. Other people are weird.
I suppose I get angry randomly.
it's not random
just not intentional
>>690687132
Very good, I'm so glad we've had this talk, and I can promise I will do my best to not upset you further in the future.
>>690687642
Aww, what's wrong?
well what is causing it
>>690687935
Good lad.
>>690687935
>what's wrong
Wait, I read those out of order, you already said nothing's wrong.
Still, not at all happy to hear you crying. Hope you feel better.
protip david if you ever feel the need to stop crying and quickly just burn yourself with a lighter
much better than cutting doesn't leave scars
>>690688107
I feel like this is not a good idea.
well last time my dad called me stupid and yelled at me and told me i would never be a good scientist because i touched things in his office and i went out and cried in a park for a while
that was like a month ago
and then i cried because i thought squash was going to go AWOL when i was coming down from a bunch of amphetamines like 6 months ago
and sometimes i put on some sad music and cry in the shower just cause
>>690688194
pain ceases the emotional turmoil and levels out your head
I've punched brick walls fractured my skull stabbed myself cut myself broken my arm and a few other things in a fit of rage or distress and without a doubt burning is the most efficient easiest to heal way to cause pain.
>>690688107
cutting is lame
i just look at myself in the mirror
it usually makes me laugh because i look like hell when i cry
>>690688706
and there's nothing wrong with that either. better to be able to let it out when it's safe.
You said nothing was wrong though.
That sounds like things are wrong.
well not the sad music part so much
>>690688718
good god and sometimes I think I have issues
>>690688706
>well last time my dad called me stupid and yelled at me and told me i would never be a good scientist because i touched things in his office
He WHAT?! Dude, I'm so sorry to hear that. If you ever want to get out of the house, let me know, we'll set something up. Go catch a movie or something.
you people are not stable
things are not optimal but i will endure
>>690688845
some people get addicted to the actual bleeding and once you cross that threshold I don't know if you can come back. I'd like to do some scarification but I'll have to plan that out with someone who knows what they're doing.
You're too self reflecting sometimes David. You mock yourself needlessly.
that was a very dom way of putting it
>>690689214
I mean by comparison I feel like I'm doing alright.
>>690689174
oh jeez th-thanks
>>690689214
thank you doctor
this diagnosis will help all of us.
>>690689369
Enduring is not the same thing as being happy, David. I like you too much to see you be unhappy.
this thread went fascinating places
What hope is there other than to endure?
>>690689389
hey if I beat people to it I win
>>690689664
It's a roller coaster ride, really.
>>690689823
snuffles freaks me the fuck out sometimes
>>690689566

I will graduate and get a good job and move out

I found this album at a christian thriftstore no less
>>690690049

well the band name couldn't be more appropriate
>>690689920
>and plant mold in the house so they can't sell it and retire
Revenge is a dish best served cold. And moldy.
Seriously though, I know you'll be fine, I don't want you to be fine though, I want you to be happy, dude.
At the very least, just promise me you'll shoot me a text or something if you want to get out of the house for a bit. My schedule is usually pretty busy, but I'll make time for you if you need, okay?
>>690690049
i love it
this is pretty good
I love his voice
>>690690216
I hoped you would
the whole album is fantastic
who the fuck does this remind me of
HELP
>>690690184
s-sure
I wouldn't want to be a burden or anything
>>690690316
isn't it though? the lyrics mean a lot to me too.
>>690690603
I've thought they sounded similar to someone else too
>>690690316
sparklehorse?
yo la tengo?

Who said anything about being a burden? Honestly I was hoping we'd get to hang out some more, I've just been busy with work, and figured you were tied up with school and work yourself. This is a perfect time to go hang out!

>kindness.
Eh, I don't take it personally. I've been told as much before. I don't care. I think it speaks more to the cynical view society takes of the world than it does of me.
>>690692082

julian is an honorary white man
>>690692145
well at least you're consistent
>>690692164
RIGHT
forgot
>>690692213
it is not a societal thing. Society awards and promotes kindness at least publicly.
I think I'm just awful.
>>690692340
It is the honorary that's the problem
there are times of day when he has enough white in him
god fucking dammit
>>690692425
>it is not a societal thing. Society awards and promotes kindness at least publicly.
Society likes kindness as a story. At least that's my opinion. We like things that make for good stories. Acts of kindness that can't be easily relayed or simply fall flat on the entertainment and feel-good chart don't get heard. We like living vicariously through the kind acts of others.
>I think I'm just awful.
If you think that, it's a self fulfilling prophecy.
Kindness comes from your heart, and your heart is really just a reflection of the emotional state you put yourself in.
Heart not being a literal thing, obviously. I mean it metaphorically. I certainly wouldn't want to seem ignorant, suggesting that a simple muscle in your chest weighs in on who you are as a person, of course.
well this torrent isn't gonna fucking take
you are milo from bizzaro world
For better or worse I am nothing like milo.
>>690693021
I knew what you meant by heart, don't be snarky.
Anyway yes they don't get heard but we still understand the silent kindnesses to be positive and praise them if they are exposed. You can't praise something you're unaware of. That is tautological.
I am not kind because I abhor it. I suspect kindness weakens us. When I say I'm awful I only mean that I'm awful relative to the consensus.
>>690693438
>I suspect kindness weakens us
This is why you go for incredibly specific acts of kindness, like I did when I was rolling in money
New Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

Good.
>>690694051
Right, a kindness that doesn't become habitual or instill dependence.
>>690693438
>I knew what you meant by heart, don't be snarky.
Just trying to be polite, here.
>I suspect kindness weakens us
That's one way to see it, and I can't say that it's wrong. My opinion, for all that it isn't worth, is that kindness isn't strong or weak, it's how kind you are to yourself versus others that really determines weakness.
If a homeless man asks for a few dollars to buy a burger, is it a kind thing to do to give him some money? Probably. But if I need that cash to eat, then I would argue that I'm not being kind to myself by giving it away. Sure, it might be a little selfish, but self preservation is part of why we're here as a species.
You can be kind and still be strong. Not that I am, I'm a huge pushover. But it's possible.
>>690694148
Yeah exactly. I used to help hobos get jobs and look neat and shit.
Less about being the hand that feeds and more about pointing them to the kitchen with a cookbook
>>690694217
That's not what I mean. I believe that kindness weakens the recipient, not the benefactor.
>>690694415
Which is much a service to society as it is a kindness.
>>690694432
Aaah, well I would only counter that it depends on the individual. But you should, as I see it, be kind to people regardless, in the hopes that people will be kind to you when you need it.
Anyways, we're just about to the image cap, so I'm gonna go to bed. I have no idea why this damn Docker container isn't working. Good night, all!
>>690693438
its all gud
>>690694747
The karmic logic is invalid unless you are kind to people who are strategically poised to be useful to you later.
Man no wonder people think I'm a sociopath.
>>690694800
I have nice hair though
>>690694217
>If a homeless man asks for a few dollars to buy a burger, is it a kind thing to do to give him some money?
No, that's a stupid thing. You get him some healthier and you avoid giving money so you're certain he is getting food and not cigarettes or something else banal.
>>690694667
Yeah that's true. As of Christmas last year, eight of about a dozen had avoided a relapse. They're doing good and that's actually a higher success rate than I'd thought.
>>690694940
75% should be considered a fucking enormous success for the homeless
>>690694910
you do
