Not that poster, but for a couple of years I never wore pants at home at all. Just socks, tshirt, underwear and a morning robe.

>>22519
I already have a fan (two actually, a white one as well but I can't really show that at the same time) from that store. scary

>>22519
>>22520
pretty fan, I guess rolls have similar taste

If you drink tea or coffee daily it can be worth it to get a nice quality cup you really like both ergonomically and aesthetically. Makes a big difference since it's something you use so often.

Replace broken items. Maybe obvious but it really does make a difference. Had a broken ceiling lamp for years now, just bare lightbulbs sticking out. Bought a new one months ago but kept postponing cause I didn't really think it'd matter that much. Sure did now that I installed it. Feels really cozy in here now.

Also just a personal kinda comfy purchase, ordered some pipe tobacco. Gotten much too expensive for me nowadays and I already smoked up most of the stuff I had that I liked so I've just shelved that interest. Came across some on a clearance sale at half the usual price per tin, so I got a few. Figuring I'll save them for the future, open sparingly maybe a few years apart. Also got a cheap pipe with a much smaller bowl than my old ones, to eke out the stash further.

blows my mind that this is still legal

>>22501
Thanks, same back at you!

Its not optimal, but with my NEET background and lack of references itd be hard to find a paid position that isnt utter bullshit wash toilets or callcenter stuff. One of the people I work under have 25 years of experience in the job too. Completely up to me how many shifts a week and how long they are.

State run program thing, have a cool lady that helped me find the place and can answer any job-related questions I might have.

dont know

marzichan down, girls, marzmin warned us.

>>22517
been a while since i thought about marzi, it's up again so perhaps i should do some looking around

>>21665
Have fun and happy birthday to you, too!

>>21664
Cake is a lie!

Another year passes. This has been the worst year of my life, if not 2019. I feel miserable most of the time, but enough about that. Mom bought a cake and croissants. That's nice. Not sure what I'll do today… probably nothing special? Hope I have the motivation to at least play a game or watch some kino.

And with this another year has come to pass. Not sure what to say really. Over the last year I have stopped speaking with the few IRLs I still spoke to, though I have more online friends now through sushi so it's not all bad. I've enjoyed my time with all of you, hopefully I can continue to enjoy my time here.

>>18917
God, has it really been a year? I could swear this had been just yesterday.

I don't know what to write here. I wish I could express hopes for the future but, despite all I've tried doing differently this time around, despite all of the nice things that have happened, all of the people I've met, there's still this lingering feeling I am just incapable of steering the direction things are going in any meaningful way. Perhaps this has all been just escapism, and I haven't really done any work on the "real issues", whatever those are supposed to be. Perhaps I'm just impatient. Perhaps things have gotten better, and nostalgia is just being a harsh mistress. Regardless, the feeling lingers, and I don't know what to make out of that. Hey, at least I'm not dead.

As for today, it hasn't been a bad day. I was hoping to wander around the dreamscape in Yume Nikki a little bit, as it has been a while and we both share a birthday, but it's rather late so I don't think that's happening. I'm tired from work, anyway. Shame on me.

I don't know what to expect for next year. Hopefully it won't be like the past one.

Why don't you create a thread for this? Just in case there are other sushis studying the same languages who are looking for resources and stuff?

>>22393
Good luck! You might want to consider contributing to >>2058 in this case, otherwise you risk being lost in noise here.

>>22377
What is your training routine? I am currently practising interval training with 15-45 min sessions because it's more fun for me that way. I am starting to feel like it's more about clocking in the km rather than about how it's being done. Am I doing something wrong?

This thread was abandoned not long after all these commitments were made, who could have possibly foreseen this outcome?
Anyway. In >>22393 I mentioned wanting to study a few languages by reading through their textbooks sequentially. So far, I've focused only one one language, while the others are kept on hold. This way I can ensure I do work through one text without stretching myself too thin. So far, progress has been consistent.
Now, having learned some amount of a couple differnt languages I stop and think to myself: what other things could I learn this way? I realize that if I had stuck to my intention of practicing with programming for the past 10 years, I would be a pro by now, well, at least, about as competent as I am right now with, say, Chinese (which is not to say a lot but still something at least).
Part of the reason I haven't stuck with programming is because of all the distractions, programming is a huge field and I've tried a lot of different topics inside it.
Still, as they say, the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, the second best time is today. Given that I still have some mental bandwidth and intellectual curiosity, I can also start getting more serious with my study of programming, now that I also have a better idea of what it is that I really like. I also choose programming because it seems like it may be a useful skill to develop; on the other hand, I'm not even adjacent to the industry so I can hardly imagine myself getting any use of programming. In my own computer I barely do any of it. Perhaps that may change. And anyway, I would like to be able to make myself one of those "digital nomads" someday, and programming seems like the best way to make a living while on the move.
I have tried writing but just like with programming, I am not even sure I have anything to contribute whatsoever. I would like to make a writing about my language explorations, but I really don't know what I could write about. Does anyone here have any ideas of what kinds of things I could write, about my language learning mostly, but also the different topics I'm interested in, so that it is interesting for people to read?
Thank you for taking your time to read this sushi. Hope you do well in your own projects and goals.

I have made strides in my work. Internet consumption is not down though and I've only memorized two poems. So promising, but not there yet. My language skills have improved a lot though. I'm getting a lot better, but I'm struggling with how much I have to manage.

>This thread was abandoned not long after all these commitments were made
I'm guessing NEETs struggle with scheduling stuff and managing time effectively. I understand the programming problem. I've been there too. Its such a huge field and its hard to make sense of it and stick to it.

disconnect entirely from an obsession that s become compulsive for as long as possible and eat better

Stick to feeding pigs, oh wait that's a person? Exactly. Itsomnivorous a fucking reason, dammit. What cactus?;yea,fibrous, what else? Misreading.

take it easy on the drugs

This is the summer of our discontent - 2025 -06

i went to a broker yesterday to borrow money, subject to the seller accepting my offer. it feels really scary, and also just felt insane to have gone from being a hikkineet to now trying to buy a place

I own a house that I am currently renting to a family member who is grateful to be able to rent from soneone they trust rather than a slimy landlord, but buying it was probably a bad idea for me. Getting a loan like that is way worse than I ever expected in a lot of different ways. Up front cost, down the line cost, slowness of actually paying it off, time, bureaucracy, privacy violation, etc.
It's not like animal crossing and now I feel a bit tied down by it now that my plans have changed.
I think its probably still something that will do me well in the far future, but I think I rushed into it and its going to stay a burden for awhile.

In house time a year or two isnt very long, so I suppose my advice is… if you've been in one spot for a couple years and are comfortable with that being permanent and want to focus on improving your future, then maybe it's a good idea to get a place there. If your life is still subject to change within that time scale and you want the flexibility and resources to accomplish things in the short term, maybe seeing how things go first is best.

Are you talking a whole apartment building or just a condo? Not sure what country you're in, but maybe re-consider the low appreciation rates for condos if so

>>22283
I settled earlier this week and have moved into my tiny apartment. Feels really weird to have come this far… There's also a really unbelievable sense of security in it… Changing your hikkikomori ways is possible I guess.

>>22491
good for you!

Thank you sushis for having given my blogpost the time of day.

Let's play some games

>>19623
like fishing?

Hey, I often have these issues as well. I'm really sorry you're dealing with it right now. It often feels like nothing you do can offer anything other than a distraction. I think it's helpful to remember you aren't morally responsible for these feelings. The best we can do is get lucky to have a few people in our life who accept us for who we are.
