Post random quotes you like.
Doesn't matter where it's from or if you know who originally said it. I'll start:

"People are always creeping towards death. so don't you think that we should celebrate our life as much as we can? But no matter what they do, the fact that they'll eventually die doesn't change. In the end, everyone dies…just like machines and other things. But they struggle through their lives. What would they be fine with leaving behind? The proof that they were here? But why would anyone want to leave behind that sort of thing? Isn't that just for self-satisfaction?"

Something interesting to note is this was said by an android.

While i have a healthy respect for religion's place in the world as a political instrument that's useful for controlling the unwashed masses, i think that on an individual's level it's just a mental tool for those who have a self-perceived lack of strength to carry themselves forward on their own, regardless of whether gods exists or not. Therefore i choose to believe in my own aptitudes instead of waiting for someone who may or may not exist to help me out. My spirit is too fat and juicy to fit in any one religion, my mind is too logical to fallow any dogmas. Get on my level, pleb.

>i think that on an individual's level it's just a mental tool for those who have a self-perceived lack of strength to carry themselves forward on their own
Spoken like a true stinky bitch, like a real shit sniffing hippopotamus. Have you ever had a really deep spiritual experience in your life? Look at the shaolin warriors who spend hours every day perfecting their art or meditating with systems that buddhists have been developing for centuries to explore the nature of experience, or look at abrahamic monks who make art and music together to deepen their connection to God and tell me these people aren't way, way more fulfilled than you. Religion is more than burgers telling Jesus to guide their bullet to the tasty dog.

>my mind is too logical to fallow any dogmas
No it's not, because if it was then you'd have already had to have spent long months and years recognising and expunging the dogmas of experience, and if you did that and shared your findings you would end up a religious leader yourself. Religions aren't "true", they are reflections in a pond filled with water donated by hermits and ascetics under a weird sky.

>>20645
What your stubborn, people oriented, emotional mind fails to comprehend is that religion is not necessary for having spiritual experiences, striving for mastery or collective efforts at perfecting some art. You clutch at religion because freedom makes you feel dizzy, lonely and alone, because you lack bravery to sail the forbidden seas. You're terrified of going insane without this crutch, but religion itself is insanity.
You think you see truth in what some "religious authority" says, but as a result you get further away from it, everyone's shit smells, there are no religious authorities and if there was a god he would probably feel sorry for you for wasting your freedom in your one life. Only an immoral, arrogant, sick individual would wish to become a "religious leader", to rob another being of the freedom of discovering what this mess we're in is all about for themselves. Religions are foolish and foolishness is the root of evil.
I'm not sure what you mean by "dogmas of experience", but you must be having those a lot.

White people have done a whole lot to make the world a less safe place. Slavery, colonialism, the prison complex and pretty much all world war, all white people. Clearly we'd all be a lot more safe if white people weren't in charge. They need to be taken out of positions of power and educated in the ways of peace and tolerance in specially made learning centers where they can concentrate on becoming enlightened. Lets talk about making the world a better place xirs.

Searching for imageboards is hard, because there is no convinient list with imageboard. I mean, why would you want to visit something you don't like? It would bad for everyone, imageboard users, because they would be pissed off by your behavior, and you, because you don't really like the place.

This is why I've made an imageboard list, which allows you to describe common acitivity and things you would like to have on your board, and decribe activity and things you don't want to see on your imageboard.

Also, I've updated my imageboard list.

Now you can see all imageboards we have in the database.

Such lists of imageboards are where spambots and CP salesmen check when doing their rounds. Boards should be word-of-mouth only, catalogues like this only invite outsiders.

Also, it seems anyone can add any tags to any board. This just makes it easy for people to troll existing boards by misleading others in to thinking ubuu allows pictures of animals in human hats, which it doesn't

I will soon be out of high school, I want to go to university because it would give me better job prospects, and graduates are statistically shown to earn more on average than people without a degree. The thing is, I seriously don't know what field to choose. The only thing I was ever mildly passionate about is programming, but I have a weird love-hate relationship with it. When I was in middle school, I would play around with gamemaker, unity, and the minecraft mod computercraft, nowadays I occasionally make simple browser games in javascript. While I do enjoy programing when things are going smoothly and my code works the way it should, if I get stuck and I can't figure something out it can get extremely frustrating. If there's a bug in something I'm making and I can't figure it out within an hour I usually just drop the project. I don't code often though, I'm pretty bad at it, and I only do it about once a month. Maybe if I got good this problem would fix itself. I'm thinking about going to a university related to AI since I find the topic interesting, but I would have to code a lot and I'm afraid I would start hating it over time. How do I choose what to do after high school? I seriously have no idea what I will do once I'm done with it. Sorry for the poor English, it's not my first language and I've never read a book in it.

Heavy topic, OP.

First of all, this is something very important that needs time and a lot of thinking.
Therefore don't pressure yourself.
Take your time but make sure to uphold daily tasks so you don't go full hiki.

I would simply ask myself what you like, what you are good at and what you are interested in.
Search around if jobs in these fields exist, if you can study such things.
On the other hand think about things you dislike, things you are really bad at and things that don't interest you at all.
It's important to scratch fields that contain things like that.

Furthermore I advise you to keep the following in mind:
Your satisfaction is the most important thing. High wage, cool benefits, well regarded jobs and such are nice and all but this is not what matters.
You should like what you do, or at least make sense of it, so you see a purpose.

The politics drove me away from Lain too. Not how they usually do though, but because namefag mods were locking slightly political threads leaving a wall of text 'disprooving' the op and other posters, abusing their power to get the last word and push their particular idealogue. Have never seen that on any imageboard before and it leaves me to believe some of the mods were hired not because they were native IB users with a desire to help, but instead just clique members of whatever discord/irc the head staff were part of. Big assumption but it does come up a bit in other discussion site formats.

420chan has been like what you describe for at least a decade, i'm sure most sites end up like that.
if the people on super exclusive irc channels were really as clever as they think they are then there would be great masses of wonderful genius amusing original content spilling out of the algonquin round table irc channels, but there never is. it takes exactly 0 creativity or brains to run an imageboard, just follow the instructions in the manual, nevertheless those people who manage to rtfm and run imageboard server software on the interrbutt in real irl life always also credit themselves as having accomplished something when the end users of "their" board come up with something novel and worth looking at.
the fact is that if you want to make a website and have other people generate all the significant content on that site then thats like admitting you really have nothing at all to say.

Game manuals in the 80s and 90s had a lot more to them than instructions of controls, so I would say that they're comparable.

All right, but that doesn't really explain the windows games. It's like how I said. Improvements should be made if the means to do so are available. If the means didn't exist in the 90s, they do now.

Yeah. Pics are how things look in windows. The first one being the background setting for touhou 8, the second being the character introduction of the same game. Of course, these weren't included in the translated version of any game (so naturally nobody has ever seen the damn thing). And this is how PC-98 manuals looked like. Most people don't even know these exist (I translated the index and and asterisk was added to show where the important bits are). https://pastebin.com/1BQEQMgr

It's worth nothing this method of including information in readme's is standard in japanese gaming (at least in doujin) so it's not like zun is just being autistic. Also, kinda hard to fit all that text into the games, too.

>All right, but that doesn't really explain the windows games. It's like how I said. Improvements should be made if the means to do so are available.
Oh yeah, I agree on that, but getting somebody to draw his things would ruin the spirit of the game, somehow. At least I see it that way. Nothing should stop him of learning that a hand isn't a ball with bananas sticking out of it though.
