what's the deal with sushi?

Did you just go to all the *chans to post this?

It's probably just a harmless robot.

I don't understand the first 2 lines.

What is even happening?

>>4912
OP is doing long division to calculate 67/4. At the top you write how many times 4 goes into a certain place value (multiple of 10).

67 = 40 + 24 + 2.8 + 0.2, but OP forgot to separate the last two.

The three is actually to be divided by the 4 as well, where 3/4 is .75 (or if you like, 75% of a 1)

Oh, now i get it; thanks.

Might be seeing some extended family for new year's. They're still mourning the loss of their daughter, who died due to a heroin overdose, despite being upper middle class and college-educated. Not really comfy but oh well. That's life.

Where did that pic of holo come from? Ironically I’ve been rewatching spice and wolf, she a true waifu for sure.

I ordered the new(-ish) Legend of Zelda game with my gf for the Switch we just bought together, so I'm probably gonna play that whenever it comes in. Tomorrow we're planning on going out to watch some fireworks in the evening for New Year's.

Lots of snow in the past days. Comfy levels are through the roof right now.

Or when you're feeling melancholic.

Make a cup of tea and pet my dog.

here's a more extreme nerd house story:

I thought of that when the topic came up. Fredrik knudsen did a good video on that for down the rabbit hole if anyone is into that stuff.

I was actually thinking of starting a nerd house of some sorts sometime early next year. Not nerd in the sense of vidya, anime, gaming etc, but really smart people, and creators. I figure we'll be able to come up with all kinds of cool projects, and ideas living together. And it'll force me to be less withdrawn, as it tends to happen whenever things get stagnant. I'm a bit nervous about the idea of having roommates in my first house but at least I'll be bringing in rent money.

>>4775
That sounds like a good idea, IF they're people you actually know well and get along with already. That's the difference between a happy and (for lack of a better word) productive home and a den of fucktards who answered the ad for "Wanted: really smart people" filled with social politics.

>>4775
Establish clearly-defined rules and a cleaning schedule. That's really important, unless you want everything to go to shit quickly. Speaking from personal experience.

Please don't randomly spam your site on other chans. There's an invite thread for this kind of thing right here: >>1640

Freindly reminder to as girls out, rolls.

Do any of you have one of these air humidifiers? I always wondered if these things changed anything.

dont know if it's just me but moist dirt smells fucking amazing. I just wannna fucking smash my head into some and get a big fucking whiff

>>4639
Fresh beetroots smells very much of moist soil.

On that note (huehue), one of my favourite smells are the green star thing of a good tomato right after it's been torn off. Almost intoxicating to sit and sniff one.

are there candles out there that smell like fresh laundry?

>>4640
>the green star thing of a good tomato right after it's been torn off
Ooh, I have to try that!

I just remembered another favorite: the smell of freshly sliced lemon can literally give me goosebumps.

>>4214
I still don't understand this. Am I just ignorant of some genius prose?

Am I getting dumber, stupified, idioted, having my IQ lowered, losing sentience by the posting, the lost neurons, the dumbing me down, destroyed intellect, and Internet?

>>4253
Ye

>>4253
You have been fooled,pranked,bested,clowned,defeated,humilliated,shame,jokes,comedy,lost,dumbed,exposed and upset by geniuses,clowns,intelligence,rock stars,artisans,savants,comedians,kings,holy men,minstrels and celing fans.

me too, sushi
the last time i watched it i was too young and dumb to understand any of it. gonna rewatch it soon though

That fan looks cool.

Further details:

They asked me some random questions and kind of put me on the spot, which made me feel awkward. They like to shout indoors, not in an aggressive way, but they were very energetic and loud among one another. But I don't like shouting because of my abusive family that never got along with one another.

They asked if I don't swear for religious reasons even though I've literally never heard of that idea before, I just don't swear or talk much around people I don't know. Then they asked if I'm Catholic, and I said no. Didn't feel like explaining that my entire family is atheist and I'm thinking of joining a church but I don't know which one to join. Then they said maybe I'm buddhist, which was weird. I said nothing to indicate that I'm buddhist. Religion doesn't seem like a good topic to bring up as soon as you meet someone.

I could tell they were trying to get to know me because they asked me questions about myself, but I didn't really feel like opening up that quickly. I tried to engage people in conversation about themselves and their interests and stuff too, though I wasn't really good at it. They asked about movies and sports and other boring stuff which I can't relate to. I didn't feel like explaining how I spend my time programming and learning about reverse engineering, malware analysis, and information security.

They also just talked about a bunch of other random things.

They had two friendly dogs that I had fun petting. At least the dogs didn't ask me weird questions.

I wasn't used to this kind of family dynamic, where people were getting along and being talkative and stuff.

I also got the impression that they were used to everyone being really outgoing, and maybe I made people feel awkward by being quiet and not really knowing what to say. They said I'm introverted and quiet and my friend joked about me being a "silent killer" or something.

I've been in that situation before. It sounds like you are younger than me and haven't gotten out of that aloof, quiet-because-too-smart attitude. The "silent killer" and "reverse engineering, malware analysis, and information security" gives it away. Or maybe I'm projecting.

Since then, I've changed to be less awkward, but I occasionally drop immoral or taboo subjects on accident. If you take the time to pay attention, you can see everybody tense up when you say something bad. I'm still trying to figure out how to come back from those.

For example, I went to Thanksgiving dinner and talked about how a waiter charged me less money for something on the menu a few days ago. I thought I was lucky. Everybody around me thought it was immoral to accept a lower fee when obviously the waiter made a mistake.

As for the religion thing, I never answer those. I plainly refuse to answer them with "I don't really want to talk about my religious beliefs." and switch the topic immediately.

Another killer trick that I've had used on me is "Why do you think that?" Whenever somebody hits you with a "Are you X?" or "You're such a Y," just ask "Why do you think that?" Act like you care what they're saying and repeat their answers back to them.

Sounds good. Something simple I do is say "what about you?" after answering a question about myself because I don't want the conversation to be all about me, but when you meet a new person they might ask a lot of questions about you.

>>4611
actually, it was alright, better than a normal day. feels good man

>They asked if I don't swear for religious reasons even though I've literally never heard of that idea before
I've met people that do that, it's funny when they really want to curse but feel they can't.

>I said nothing to indicate that I'm buddhist.
They probably didn't think you were buddhist either, just said something awkward trying to keep the conversation going.

>how I spend my time programming and learning about reverse engineering, malware analysis, and information security.
Would reverse engeneering be a good topic for conversations?
A lot of different professions, hobbies, activities deal with it so i expect it to be more paupable than the other 3 options as they need a lot more specific explanation and myth deconstruction.

>But anyway, how was YOUR thanksgiving?
We don't have thanks giving here so i spent it studying.
