/lounge/ - sushi social

Do you have a neat web community or chat group you'd like to invite people to? Maybe want to drop your messaging handle and strike up some conversations? Do it here.

Chat/community/personal ads are no longer allowed on the rest of the site, except maybe on /hell/.

Important Note: This doesn't mean that you can't talk about communities or chat groups. You could, for example, have a thread where you ask people about web communities they visit. You just can't open your thread with an advertisement.

One post per service please! Duplicate ads may be deleted. This especially includes discord links. To make a permanent discord link, click on instant invite, go to advanced settings, and change the expire time to never. Dead links suck. If your discord link expires, your post will be deleted and you may receive a short warning ban.
New Rule(2/21/25): To avoid spam/bots and potentially illegal content, describe your community briefly, don't just drop the link.

what did i do wrong

where does the .75 come from

Wanna play shiritori? I was thinking since we're in english we could play using the last syllable of the word, rather than just last letter. So for "bunny" it sounds like "bun-nee" so you could respond "needle".
More by sound then spelling. And no one syllable words I guess?
Does that make sense? Anyway, I'll start:

"Zebra"

Hey sushi! What's your favorite bug?
My favorite bugs are moths! (spoilered the image for sushis who don't like bugs)

There aren't any blue foods, except a few fruits and artificially died foods.

Is economics a bunch of lies? It has been said the economists definition of rational behavior as behavior consistent with their own models, with all other behavior dubbed irrational, amounts to a huge project to reshape humanity into people who behave the way economists say they should behave. Economists base their models on rational choice, the idea that people will rationally behave a certain way under given conditions. Not any specific group of people, but an abstract faceless individual that exists nowhere. But what's rational or sensible really depends on your cultural enviornment. The behavior of freaks on imageboards doesn't make sense to outsiders because they don't perceive the logic of it. Similarly, Trobriand islanders used to travel great distances to trade seemingly useless and valueless objects Why? It defies the models of the economists. Why do people share stuff for free over the internet? There are a thousand things they can't explain.

Be they neoclassical, lolbert or Marxian, all economists do is create detached models and impose their abstractions on people and destroying society everytime. Even the whole inc*l trend was caused by people trying to apply economics to sex and relationships and its created a whole horde of delusional people. We keep giving economists attention and money as they wreck small community after small community with their foolish ideas "let the free market solve everything" or "let the state plan everything" or "depopulate the countryside and become food import dependant" and other genius ideas. Are there any good economists?

What helps you relax or calm down?

Over the years I've noticed that no matter how distressed or anxious I am as soon as I just sit down under the Sun for a while and listen to some instrumental music consciously I get calm enough to think clearly or even take a nap. And removing shoes is a must to reach peak comfiness for me.

What about you sushis?

Post cats! Cute cats, funny cats, pretty cats. All cats are welcome.

EVERYDAY IS CATURDAY

I barely buy anything that is not food, but recently I bought Burzum t-shirt - first piece of clothing in like 4 years. Mind you, I am not homeless or dirty - I just treat my stuff well and my style is eternally good.
Anyway, felt nice when I wore it, but quickly I realised that consumerism has started to corrupt me.
I tamed it, I had to stop buying pencils, rubbers, stuff for work, but it was all for my mental wellbeing. I also threw away my desk, couch and all chairs. I could gladly say that unlike filthy casuals 'things' have no impact on me.
Everything was good, 'till yesterday. I got a present.
Cyberpunk 2077 t-shirt. New, original, reserved only for developer team.
