I can draw jet-planes ok.

Build a light-sabre that's basically a mini flame-thrower.

Images you can smell. Mmm… caramelized sugar.

Your wife likes potpourri first time posting? does she still like it the second time?

That's scented dried flower petals, right?

So tired but then again it could be the sudden coldsnap making me hibernate.

Gotta move more…

Indeed. Clean up your desktop!

This is >>11552. I was originally going to leave imageboards again in August, but decided to delay until today both to get into imageboards again and because I normally start my long imageboard breaks in December. But now I'm going to make my final attempt to leave imageboards for three years. If this one doesn't work, then I guess it wasn't meant to be.
I'm doing this because I have many bad habits that have ruined my life, and they are all fundamentally intertwined with my computer addiction. The last ten years have disappeared into a black hole of screen-induced lethargy, and I have had problems with my wrists as well from years of poor ergonomics. The only times I've ever made progress in the right direction was when I dropped imageboards completely, but this was always nothing more than the first step on a long road. I've spent the last year thinking about and preparing ways to live less with my computer, and I'm going to put everything into practice now.
Normally, I'm more a lurker, but in the last six months I challenged myself to explore other imageboards and to post more often. I posted every day here in September and even started some threads, which I haven't done in ages. I've had a lot of fun with everyone, and I think I am leaving with a new appreciation for imageboards.
I wasn't sure where to put this post, but I didn't want it in a thread that would show up on /kaitensushi/. It doesn't matter if anyone reads this; I just wanted to leave one last sign that I was here, because three years is a long time and anything could happen. I'll see you sushi girls in three years and I wish you all the best.

Doing a course of ninjutsu

Is summer here yet?
Still feels cold.

Lately, I've been drinking a lot of Ostfriesentee, a type of black tea popular in East Frisia, with milk and sugar.

I got a bottle of this recently on recommendation from the guy at the store since my usual rye whiskey was out. It's pretty good! The vanilla makes it smell really nice but it's not too sweet or too overpowering in terms of the actual taste. It makes a tasty Manhattan too! I think the vanilla is really good there.

Got some whisky to introduce the new year with some sipping. Loch Lomond Peated and Macleods Islay. I'm not very good at picking out notes and such, but they're both quite good and right up my alley. Happy I got lucky since I haven't had either before.
The Lomond has some dried apricot notes maybe along with the peat for some interesting interplay, quite approachable and yummy, while the Macleods is more smoke focused, maybe some shoreline? Reminded me of Ileach except good, found that one to have some kind of weird gritty muddy quality to the taste I didn't enjoy.

Time for tea-break

It's wintertime-whisky-sushi, back at you again. Tis the season for some sippin.
Got an Islay Mist, and a regular Loch Lomond, both new to me.
Only opened the Islay Mist so far, first better blend I've had. Only dabbled in the cheaper end of single malts before because of bad experience with the super cheap budget whiskey blends I tried during my early drinking career.
Supposedly there's Laphroaig in this? Haven't gotten around to trying that anyway.
To me, this tastes like a tamed and subdued version of Talisker, maybe more towards the Skye version (been years since I had any of them). Rounder, less complex. Less interesting. Still tasty, very drinkable. Goes well with a book.

it doesn't even snow here

It snowed here so much last year that it was unreal. The amount of snow, in all the years I've lived here, has never reached more than some light sleet that could barely be considered "snowing". I wonder if it will this year, as well. There's been no sign of that yet, though.

>>13054
You don't want too much snow…

>>13085

Oh no, of course not. I didn't mean to make that photo picrel. It's just a snowy village in Japan I thought of.

I'm originally from a country that gets too much snow. It gets so cold that the streets tend to freeze over. I once slipped on them and sprained my left arm so bad that it made me unable to use it for months. I certainly don't miss my hands going numb and completely red everytime I would go outside, either. Heh

the snow has been very plentiful here this week, but not overwhelming thankfully

it's just enough to make my manager close our store at 5pm instead of 8pm, so i get more time at home to unwind. especially helps since getting my days off around christmas required me to work essentially 10 days in a row before i get my proper weekend

Playing violent video-games helps me when I'm in a mood…

Just sit back and enjoy Xmas!

I spent Thanksgiving alone drinking beer and playing video games. It was much better than usual.

I also grew up nonreligious and the extent to which religious people think and talk about religion always boggles my mind, just since I hardly ever think about religion at all, and only in an anthropological sense if I do. Discussing theology and religious spirituality seems as normal as talking about yesterday's football game to them.

It's good you have stuff like programming to talk about. My main hobby is also my profession, and it's a landmine of a field that everybody has a political opinion on so all I can fall back on is stuff like video games and anime which doesn't do well with every crowd.

Also, what draws you to a church? I thought about trying one out just to see what it's like for a while but never went through with it.

Merry Xmas, yo!

I came to the realisation that my mental health influences what I consume to jack off.
If it is in a good condition I use vanilla or don't even touch myself, if it is in a bad condition I use disgusting and disturbing stuff.

>After 10 or so years of my right jaw clicking when opening and closing, I got a sudden pain and now my jaw doesn't click anymore. Thing is, I can only open my mouth about half of what I used to be able to.

I found myself in the same situation a couple of weeks ago, my solution was trying to force it to open a couple of times a day for a couple of days, it opening all the way now but i feel like my jaw is in the wrong place,oh well, at least i didnt have to go to a doctor.

Been feeling a bit down lately, the few friends i have are going out and having fun without me, they arent even talking to me, i dont have the willpower to do something productive, been just watching movies all alone in my room all day.

My throat has been itching and I've felt a sickness coming on since yesterday. My stepdad got sick so he must have infected me and my mom. Hopefully not with what I think it is.

>>13055
Hope it's nothing serious

On the constructive side, how do I cut someone I share a class with off? I can't say "fuck off" because we have the same class and some friend overlap, so it'll make things weird. I also need constant ghosting excuses because he can just ask me in class. Also want to hang with his friends without him. Also I'm a woman too, also one weaker than him, so cutting him off has a small chance of it ending with violence against me. I need something that wont put me on his shit list
On the vent side my "friend", well he's to much of a dick to be friend now, is doing things that makes him a creep to woman. Every time I mention a female friend he says "ArE tHEy LoOkiNG fOr A rELaTiOnShIp" and wont listen when I say how I don't like him asking that. He says he wont hit on woman friends I bring to hang, but you can tell he wants to. He told a girl they only like their bf because he's white then said it's doomed to fail because it's interracial. He called another woman a whore for engaging in pre marital sex. He's put a girlfriend in an awkward confession situation. He's also asked me and my friends multiple times if I know any woman looking for hook ups and one nightstands which got the same "I'm uncomfortable now" vibes, which he ignored and said "it's a joke". He wasn't this aggressive when I first met him, so thats why he became friends. He's become aggressive now though. I'm warning girls I know before I hang with him and I understand that's not normal. I'm cutting him off right now and I deeply regret entertaining him now.
The good thing is among my friends the weirdo is so hated if he dares make any woman uncomfortable he has a few dudes ready to beat his ass.

Anime OP

Gawr Gura sings "Bad Habits"

Egg-cellent

Some thoughts… people do have worldviews, and those worldviews can be categorized, can be more or less correct than other worldviews. This categorization might be called politics. Or identity politics, though that may include things that are even harder to change then worldview.
Having a correct worldview is important, but telling people their worldview is wrong and yours is correct, or otherwise worldview rallying for worldview combat is uncomfy.
I feel like at this sushi stand the focus should be on understanding other worldviews, more than pushing ones own. Or better then that, talking about mundane everyday life.
And sorry to contradict my own advice so promptly, but I gotta defend centrism. "Active dude" comes to me and says 'Hey "some guy" has been doing [unforgivable act] you gotta help us punish them! We can't have people doing [unforgivable act]!' And I am filled with uncertainty about whether [unforgivable act] is really unforgivable, which I cannot voice due to fear of being attacked. I am filled with anger at "some guy" in so far as I think [unforgivable act] really is unforgivable. I am filled with fear of being used as a pawn, maybe "some guy" hasn't done anything unforgivable at all, I only have "active dude"s word, after all, and its it's probably second or even third hand… it's definitely an unpleasant position to be in. Wanting to take action but not sure what action to take. Both sides shout "obviously just do the right thing: what we say to do."
Centrism is admitting you don't know and are too enslaved by your job to be able to spend enough time to find out. Its defeatist, but if you're defeated it's better not to live in a fiction where you are not, I don't see a better path to victory doing that.
-_.._-'*'-_.._-
Now to try and follow my advice a little. I like these eggs rolls have been posting. I tried making boiled eggs for my lunch last week and the shells stuck to the egg, does anyone have good tips to prevent that? I think I'll try ice bath after boiling this week.
