just checked - even blue cheese isnt really blue

>>21097
Many people eat lobsters, and there indeed exists blue lobsters although they are very rare.

>>21099
Huh? It says they are endemic to the US.

I really need a classical fantasy RPG.. there is Avowed coming, but it doesn't look too good. Sucks, because I played Pillars of Eternity and the world portrayed was absolutely my favourite thing about it!

I got kicked out of a student club today. No explanation given. I never talked about controversial topics. Last time I was there, I talked about Doom with some other guy. Why are normals so difficult?

I hate starving artist trope… its too common…

>>21127
Well, I mean yeah, of course it is. Because a lot of artists are starving, and they are writing about their personal experiences.

>>21128
I was thinking of real life artists, not in fiction, hehe.

>>21131
It's not really a trope if it's in real life then is it? It's just a trend.

>>21109
Super cringe of them and a definite red flag on their end. Instead of talking to you and mediating or even giving you a second chance or just a warning, they boot you from the club. You should report them for that lol. For what? No idea. Do it anyways since school staff > student clubs every time. Bonus points for getting reinstated to their dismay. Still, it shows their lack of character to do that to you, so sorry that happened to you sushi-chan. :(

BLUE SPIRULINA VS. BUTTERFLY PEA FLOWER

Reminds me when Randy Feltface set up that exact question to answer with: "Blueberries are purple!" Nah, I just looked at the wikipedia article. Totally a dark blue. Not a "slushi blue", but it's blue.

I like goth music but I don't like a lot of goth music with male-singers because the lyrics are all "you're a dark and mysterious girl, you're so dark… and mysterious. yeah. so sexy, yeah, my dark and mysterious girl" and nonsense like that. Who is allowing these people to make music? If I were their bandmates, I would've kicked them out of the band for writing drivel like that multiple times.

>there are no blue foods
>proceeds to mention blue foods in the same sentence
what

>>21151
They might be blue on the outside, but there's no way to extract that blue without mixing it up with the purple on the inside. Overall I would say they are more purple for that reason.

>>21157
Honestly, I think both opinions stand on their own merit. I say blueberries are blue because they're blue on the outside while you say the purple on the inside counts as well.

I have a love/hate relationship with culture. I used to think there was something charming and relieving about comfy imageboards, otaku culture, indie gaming, and hackers. Nowadays I just feel even more spiteful and negative towards everyone and everything. I'm tired of this life. I wanna hug Punxsutawney Phil. Can I at least hug him and tell him my sorrows?

>>21156
Do you know what the word "except" means?

my partner's dog passed away today. I really loved her (the dog), she was really special (the dog).

i am so terrified of passage of time. it was almost half a year ago when i watched frieren and relayed my experience here. the mere thought freezes me. how come it was so long ago?

>>21169
It gets worse every year. The older you get, the shorter each year seems in comparison to the rest of your life.

>>21169
Who cares, civilizations last longer than our lives, species last longer than civilizations, planets last longer than species and suns and galaxies and so on.
We're nothing in the grand scheme of things, may as well just seat ourselves comfy in this ride called life.
We are all going to the same place in the end.

>>21183
im worried because i want to make as much of this life as possible…

>>21183
Every civilization was built upon the shoulders of those who came before. Farms were made possible because of the countless generations who cultivated plants, not knowing the reason why. It took so many generations to domesticate cattle. The pyramids were built across many lifetimes.

Every forefather had a mother. Your life matters, because you're part of the march of life. Life is an unbroken chain that goes back 4,000,000,000 years. And you're part of that. You share a common ancestor with every living creature on Earth.

Make the most of the time you have, because everyone that comes after you will be working with what you left behind. Do everything. Make art. Carve your name into stone. Let the world know that you're here, and you matter, and be remembered forever.

We live in the age of information. Now is the best time to make yourself known, because the internet can immortalize you. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

>>21185
There's billions of people that were never remembered, no need to sweat it.

>>21187
Millions will be, and I want to be among them.

>>21189
What an attention whore

sasuga avatarfriend

>>21187
No, I will sweat it. Because even if I'm never remembered, I will die happy knowing that I did something worth doing. And that alone is worth the effort.

what if, to get your driver's license, you also had to do a mandatory first aid course? the reason being that as a driver, you are now like 100000x more likely to injure someone or be injured in a car accident and as a result, you should have to have some basic understanding of first aid.

bet you have heard this and if you didn't, you will start hearing it

The more I bury my head in books of theology, in scripture, the more depressive and unhinged I’ve become. Its like some kind of soft mental schizophrenia. Pouring my soul on imageboards addicted to guro hentai, I have no real direction. Imageboard induced hikkineet hatred of normals has perverted my mind and soul. I’ve decided to write smut but where do I post it? I need to give myself some stability, but how? I need another hobby, but what? I long for spiritual awakening but nothing seems to satisfy me. Everything is boring.

>>21185
The pressure to be somebody important is intolerable. Chasing after immortality is futile. Nothing lasts forever. Especially now in the information age, where people barely remember anything. Chasing after wealth, fame, immortality etc is pointless. Just enjoy the small things in life and be thankful to God and don't worry so much about being remembered or making a mark. You can make a mark in small ways.

>>21250
Nowhere in my post did I mention chasing wealth, fame, or immortality. I mentioned that you COULD be immortalized by the internet, but not that you will or should even try to. My entire post was about getting out and just doing something worth doing. Like, as mentioned in the post, making art and architecture. Leaving something behind for the next generation to build upon. Making the world a better place for future people.

Yes, you CAN make a mark in small ways, but you should strive to make the biggest marks in the best ways. And I will not be thanking "god", I will be thanking the people who came before me who made the things I enjoy, I will be thanking my friends who are alive today to help me through dark times, and I will be thanking myself for what I have done and will continue to do. People built the world, "god" has done nothing for me.

>>21252
>I mentioned that you COULD be immortalized by the internet
Not literally. I don't think there is any single person immortalized by the internet. The endless mass of information means that any one individual is quickly forgotten or made irrelevant. Who was a huge eceleb years ago is a nobody now, and who is huge today will be forgotten tomorrow.

>Leaving something behind for the next generation to build upon. Making the world a better place for future people.
The next generation is not going to build on anything you pass down to them. Your antipathy to God is a good example of that. One person rarely has the influence to shift paradigms or hand down values succeeding generations follow, only states, corpos, and universities can tweak whatever art, fashion or belief system is dominant at any given time. Anything underground slowly gets forgotten or hollowed out and commodified. The harsh reality of our world is that real everyday people sink into insignificance. But I agree with the last part.

>Yes, you CAN make a mark in small ways, but you should strive to make the biggest marks in the best ways.
Good things, friendship, and art should be done for their own sake, not for the sake of attention and being a narcissist obsessed with leaving your mark on the world. Unless you mean to be utilitarian, which is a whole other can of worms.

>People built the world, "god" has done nothing for me.
The world predates us and it will be here long after we've all turned to dust. We did not build it and we shouldn't take credit.

>>21253
How does antipathy towards "god" evidence that the next generation will not work with what we made? The next generation will live in the houses we built today. Those houses may be funded by large special interest groups, but the houses were built by people. Plumbers, carpenters, concrete layers, people built everything we work with today. The computer you use was made possible due to the labor of programmers across the last 40 years. You live in a building you didn't build yourself. You eat food that has been domesticated by humans who lived tens of thousands of years before you. One person can do many things, and everything done by a group is done by many individuals working together. Those people do NOT sink into insignificance just because you don't know them, you benefit from your labor while pretending they never existed or mattered. You live in a stew of ignorance and hypocrisy. How can you agree on "making the world a better place for future people" if you think no individual should strive for greatness? When I say the "world", I say the "world" instead of "Earth" or the planet. Because yes, the planet predates us. But we made the planet into a world. A place full of culture, history, art, architecture, and beauty. And every single human that has ever lived was a part of that. Just because I refuse to worship a "god" (more specifically, YOUR capital G "God") does not mean I'm not working with what the people before me made. It just means that I'm applying modern reason and evidence to past claims. I'm no more "antipathetic" of your "god" than you are of gnomes. The people before me believed in them, but I see no evidence for it.

>>21254
>Those people do NOT sink into insignificance just because you don't know them, you benefit from your labor while pretending they never existed or mattered.
But its precisely because you don't remember them that they've become insignificant. The computer I use is simply one of many of the same design mass manufactured according to a blueprint. Its a copy of a copy. The Congolese child that mined the ore, the office worker that designed the processor, the Shenzen line worker who assembled it, did not leave their mark on the product, at least not more than any other worker made faceless by the system. The computer is the product of a logistical system larger than any single person and which makes its individuals members irrelevant. Behind the branding and corporate marketing, the people who made it are sushi rollymous unknowns, unimportant and easily replaced at the swish of a manager's pen. Anybody else could have taken their place and it wouldn't make a difference. Its alienating and indistinguishable from any other machine of the same model. An artisanal piece of furniture or a painting embodies the artist. Every little identifying mark, every personal touch, their life and soul is poured into it to produce one thing unique and just for me. Its why the bad drawing my niece gave me is worth so much more than any tech product I own.

>Because yes, the planet predates us. But we made the planet into a world. A place full of culture, history, art, architecture, and beauty. And every single human that has ever lived was a part of that.
Why should I privilege what humans have made over other living creatures? Birds and bears don't have architecture (besides maybe nests and dens) or music, why should I think of myself so highly for being part of a species that has these things? I am sure birds look at us all proud and boastful. And what have we humans achieved in the grand scale of things? Volcanic eruptions dwarf our nuclear weapons and they sent rock and ash into space long before our satellites. Sea turtles have better navigational skills than we could ever hope for. Dolphins conducted wide area networking via ultrasonic waves a millennia before our sonar. We don't have a right to own this world to the exclusion of other beings that live here, and we shouldn't claim we invented everything that makes the world great based on our own self-serving criteria. After all, we have made beautiful things, but 'we' have also made nuclear weapons, poisoned the air with toxic gasses, and dumped so much waste into the environment that even our blood stream is now contaminated and we have microplastics in our brain tissue.

>Just because I refuse to worship a "god" (more specifically, YOUR capital G "God") does not mean I'm not working with what the people before me made. It just means that I'm applying modern reason and evidence to past claims.
You're right in one sense: that atheism and modernist 'skepticism' are simply an inherited belief system maintained by authority that is reproduced by the people educated into it. But are these beliefs really grounded by reason and evidence or is it just cultural hegemony justified through self-serving criteria?

I guess the point I'm making here is that 1. If you seek to immortalize your self by building stuff, nobody will remember you anyway because you're yet another faceless nobody, and even what you build will rot away or end up in landfill. 2. Modern culture seems to be founded on this Nietzschean attitude where we are told we're supposed to use our individual freedom to fill the world up with uniqueness and meaning, yet this very attitude is contradicted by the harsh depressing realities of the very system we live in. Getting out and doing something to build a name for yourself or contribute to some amazing human project has never been more futile. I don't mean to be super pessimistic here, but these kinds of ideas aren't working for us.

i wish schoolwork wasn't so mysteriously overwhelming. even tiny assignments fill me with dread.

>>21267
I know the feeling sushi roll. Even opening emails is stressful for me.

I supported an artist on fanbox expecting lewds, instead I got some nice suggestive art. Not bad.

>>21281
I'm this way about texts/phone calls. The majority of calls I get are either spam or debt collectors, so I reflexively hang up on any calls I get that aren't from my contacts.

>>21327
I don't answer any phone calls/texts or check my inbox at all. I end up missing out on things because of it.

>>21295
Suggestive is better than explicit lewd. Look at it. Close your eyes. Now fap. It feels a lot better.

>>21332
Thank you for the advice. I will think of you, too.

After purchasing some delicious ready-made chicken baked with cheese and sauce, I grabbed a pair of wooden chopsticks from my kitchen drawer and sat down. The chopsticks were the same you'd find in a cup on the counter of any establishment with motive to provide them: cheap quality in a paper wrapping, on which was "delicious" written in the squiggles of the east. Say what you may about the environmental impact of using single-use products rather than washable chopsticks, I quite enjoy the feeling of breaking them apart. The comforting sound of the wood splitting and two halves that are symmetrical enough to call even but never smooth enough to call perfect; Such a thing has become a ritual of sorts.
Alas, after attempting the simple act of picking up a morsel of chicken, I found one to be cracked. Not lengthwise as one would expect, but right across the middle. The rigid structure that would allow me to hoist the chicken towards my mouth was lost entirely, replaced with a loose swivel made of the remaining thin wooden fibers.
"Shogunai," I thought to myself. I experimented with eating the chicken by impaling it with the remaining good chopstick, though not before trying to use a grip low enough such the half-length of sturdy matieral would be plenty. However neither method could serve to not detract from my meal.
I would not let my meal be as flaccid as this broken chopstick. And so, I sought out to double the sticks of kindling I would expend for this meal, I took the chopsticks to the kitchen bag of burnable trash, cast them into the depth along with some banana peels and used kitchen paper. And retrieved a new pair from amongst the many that filled the drawer.
I swear to you, the chopsticks were picked with no bias from among the pile of parallel paper wrapped pairs, a number no more than the amount that had been used so far without a single failed stick. But amazingly, the second pair encountered the same issue. A snapped and useless stick.
Still, I was not deterred, this story was not one of anguish, I would simply try again to select a functional pair.
But I was left with a realization.
A chopstick is not except half of a pair of chopsticks. For this meal I may have had two broken chopsticks, but that was not all of the chopsticks I had opened thus far. There were not two chopsticks total, but four. The two broken sticks, and their two perfectly functional counterparts. When the first chopsticks had been "broken", I threw them both away without a second thought.
I retrieved the third pair. As I used them to eat my chicken, and they functioned exactly as designed, I couldn't shake the feeling that this pair was meant to be used another time on another chicken. That the true chopsticks meant for this chicken were the second widowed stick beside its broken partner on the table, and the first widowed stick beside its broken partner deep in the trash.
Perhaps the lesson is to use washable chopsticks. Perhaps the lesson is to not discard even broken tools before the task is done. Or perhaps there is no lesson at all. But the chicken was delicious.

I just had two pairs of chopsticks in a row where one of the sticks was broken
but I already threw out the first pair

so I couldnt just match the remaining non-broken sticks up, I had to get a third pair

I think theres some deep meaning to be extracted from this

>>21357
The lesson is that proper care should be given to good things. You threw away a pair of chopsticks because one of its components was defective, and only half-heartedly appreciated the remaining chopstick's utility. You gave up immediately after seeing another defect on the next pair, but realized after that it might've been the wrong choice. You were lucky that the next pair was functional, and subsequently lucky you didn't throw away the chicken for not having a good enough pair of chopsticks to match it.

I watched a random short about accent slip ups.. I wasn't aware that people faked accents?! Need to start practicing that too…

>>21367
I fake an accent at work, because I have a bit of a Southern draw. So I fake a clean modern Transatlantic accent in the workplace to sound more professional. But sometimes my natural accent pokes through.

>>21367
Very normal to "fake" the local accent if you relocated.

I wonder if Mokou poster wears a hair bun.

>>21378
I do! (Has my cover been blown? Shall I flee the board to seek digital refuge?!)

>>21379
I want a gf that has a hair bun all of the girls outside don't wear them. They dress really ugly and disgusting. Hair bows deserve to be more common.

>>21387
Well that's a little harsh, don't you think? They're just dressing how they feel most comfortable.

I want to hug the mokouposter

>>21389
I'm flattered

I find real life too depressing and painful to deal with. I want art to be an escape. I need to develop a skill of some kind that will help me make art that will help me escape.

I have a folder filled with anime girls shooting lasers out of their eyes. It's something I did on a whim one day and haven't repeated since. I still get a giggle when I stumble on to them.

Can't believe I am starting to get nostalgic for my early 20s
They sucked!

I often feel sad about forgotten media. Obscurity is such a tragic fate, especially for the artist who poured their soul into the art. It hurts when I can't find anyone interested in the things I love. It makes me feel so lonely.

>>21416
I like Acro Trip… and it breaks my heart that it never got the recognition it deserved and will slowly fade into total obscurity. I can picture myself on my deathbed, completely forsaken by family and friends, still chuckling at the mere thought of that wonderful cast and their antics.
