I know the feeling I've been online for 28 years myself. I do get on IRC but most of the channels throughout the servers I get on from time to time are pretty much wastelands with nobody having any conversations. Not to mention how dead the forums I get on are. Imageboards have been my main source of socializing online for at least a solid two years now. It's been much longer since I had any conversations with people I knew online locally let alone having an IRL conversation. 2007 wasn't a bad spot but it was definitely starting the trends that would ultimately make things online much worse in the long run. Most people define that to be the year of the turning point to everything going wrong in the world. My favorite time online would have had to been the range between 2000-2005. In 2000 I was finally able to drop dial-up for broadband, not too long after that I also started getting into torrenting, and the internet still at that point felt like a magical adventure every time I'd get on my computer. Don't get me wrong, the 90s weren't terrible even with dial-up as that "magical" feeling was the main reason why it was so great. Experiencing personal pages that I'd come across was very cool and designs were innovative and not even close to being full of diarrhea bloat that the soulless modern web suffers from. A lot of the time I'll just hop on neocities and just check out some of the pages on there loving what the next generation are doing with it. I'm currently working on something myself to put on there soon once I'm finished writing out the code for it. Might just host it myself depending on how much content I decide to put on it. Wanting to keep it stylish but minimal without the problems of bloat that I mentioned before. I used to have a few other pages a few years ago that I ended up just taking down. I'm more or less wanting to rework it all into managing only one website.

What's the appeal of imageboards? Don't people want to be a person and make connections with other persons instead of sushi rollymous text?

Not the Original Poster - I've denifitely been coming to imageboards less and less after enrolling in a university. What have been an hourly participation in the discussions have turned to the habitual drop-in once a month - if not less frequent. Still though, what I like about imageboards is that there is a refreshing change in the mode of discussion. I can definitely talk about all the unhinged stuff you'd normally see on the bad board on the bad imageboard with my friends, or the good and blissful things that are definitely rare in the chanospehre but still exist. I can speak my mind and my thoughts here freely in a way that is simply not possible in spoken language - imageboards are void of inherent and sometimes even habitual self-regulation of speech that degrades the meaning of things I want to express. This is not necessarily restricted to politics, I also mean things of sentimental value and sometimes even personal thoughts. As soon as you put something in words, you lose some of that meaning. Speak of it, you lose even further - you're need to express your thoughts restricted to social norms and commonly accepted etiquette in that specific context. Body language, intonation and facial expressions is often not adequate to make up for that.

I think that image boards, like all forms of social media, operate as an artificial simulacrum - a supplement for real life social interaction. So I think once you have a robust social network there's not a real need for online social life and that osimulacrum becomes a complement to that social network or becomes redundant. The lack of third spaces IRL is probably one of the reasons so many have turned to online social networks as a substitute. But there's already too much negativity and misguided nostalgia in this thread so I'd rather not continue on that. "Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism leads to power". I think that the appeal of these virtual social networks is that they can compelement and extend existing physical social networks, and that in the absence of physical social networks they can offer a supplement that can potentially blossom into a physical one as well. We have a thread actually where sushis connect and meet up in person! I think that only really applies to social media websites with a positive atmosphere though, so even with virtual social networks you should be careful to choose your friends wisely.

I like the comfy culture of sushigirl and I like supporting and being a part of the positivity because I know it is helping other people. Also because I know that everyone in here has a unique and interesting life, and I like being involved in the tangle of people's lives. That's my reason to come here on occasion.

I saw this video a very long time ago and remembered it out of nowhere today. Feels like the type of video that wouldn't really stick in your memory, but it's also extremely comfy.

randomly found this today

wtf, why is this so good?

"V-tubers are all guys with voice filters."
Is that right?

>>17148
Yes, I know because every single one is actually just me.

I planned, and executed spending the day doing little but resting.
This isn't something impressive, but it's something I've needed to do for a long time now. I've been feeling ill but kept pushing myself to be productive because I was afraid of being lazy.

Going out.. Sunday is living up to its name today.

Struggling with loneliness, a sister that wants nothing to do with me despite saying otherwise and the constant fear of abandonment.

Learn to be yourself alone. I'm an introvert so that helps. Best time was a week home alone with only small interactions with the local shops.

I'm doing okay. Like the sushi roll above I'm feeling a bit lonely, but it's nothing too terrible. I don't relate to my old friends anymore and I'm really struggling to make new ones. Plus I'm not so good at friendship. I frequently forget to talk to friends for months at a time, which is probably why I have so few.

In the last year I did accept myself for who I am, and got rid of a lot of self hatred, which is nice. Now I can examine some feelings that have been bubbling below the surface for ages and it's been cathartic to examine them. I don't need that external validation anymore. The freedom is nice.

Beyond the emotional garbage I've been making some minor repairs to my house. I'm pretty bad about getting projects done in a reasonable timeframe though…

Keep on writing. As long as you write, the journal still works.

for when you can't decide if you want an open sandwich or regular sandwich.

Dear Diary,

It rained today and never really stopped. Also the buses came late today twice in a consecutive days.

I hate the wet…

you’re doing fine just stop saying “u” instead of “you” it‘s very irritating.

I'm studying real analysis and graph theory in Uni rn. Next semester I'm taking more graph theory and algebra.

My fav nonstandard category of mathematics is nonstandard analysis, aka hyperreal analysis. Where real analysis justifies calculus through sequences of numbers and the properties of their limits, nonstandard analysis instead defines a super set of the real numbers which includes infinites and infinitesimals, and then justifies calculus through the properties of the hyper reals.

Although I'm planning to spend more of my future efforts on math which will help me understand parameter-space for neural networks and hopefully AI interpretability and AI alignment.

I'm (very slowly) listening to an audiobook of The Bible. It's definitely going to be something I'll have to listen/read over several times, particularly the New Testament. I'm also going to have to find other sources to help me with further studying The Bible and Christianity as a whole.

What translations are you using for your studies? Any commentaries?

>>17180
I'm just listening to the audiobook NKJV version. I started at the beginning of the year and I'm still only up to Acts, I just kind of dived straight into it without doing any proper research on the best way to go about it. Still not even sure what denomination I'd end up going with since work and limited mobility gets in the way of actual churchgoing.

On the new year, I'll be studying for some certifications in networking and security. Very novice level stuff. Afterwards, I'll just go on from there. Maybe do some SQL server stuff because it's kicking my ass right now. Major style. I cannot let this stand. Otherwise, I'm still weak in geography and political theory. These are the few subject I can think of right now that I'm weak at.

Blizzard coming in on Tuesday

Where I am, the trees take started turning on November. In the mountains, they turn earlier. I think it's more "Autumn-like" in the mountains anyways. I mean to go more, but my life's been taking over. Chilling in the mountains is way more important than anything else though imo.

I wish I lived somewhere where the leaves changed. Autumn is very comfy.

Autumn is my favorite season. I'm lucky enough to live in a place with gorgeous fall foliage, and I also love the temperature being cool enough for warm drinks and dressing in layers.

I just realized my life has finite amount of Octobers left.

There's usually a reason why it happens even if you don't find out. One of the reasons I quit hanging out with my friend is disillusionment with that person. I saw them taking advantage of people and I decided I couldn't trust them anymore.

It's somewhat jarring to me as to how second life drama can be so serious.

>or has a massive impact on your RL
Generally when I ghost or have been ghosted it's to people I only know irl..

Time to get a better class of friends…

Make today the best it can be…
