Today, I crossed the street in the middle. I did not check both ways.
I'm the guy who does the "VORUDEMOTO" bumps.
vc: low
I post a lot about my life here.
I checked out other boards for a change and I saw a whole new world.
I want to become a Wikipedia sysop!
My past is more exciting than I tend to think it has been.
I just spent 3 hours watching nyan cat videos.
I've lost control of my life.
I've spent the last three weeks of my life playing Monster Hunter Tri. I've only made it to HR 48, but I'm not going to stop there.
You guys are the only friends I have anymore.
And half of you hate my guts half the time.
I threw up in a rice field, threw a beer can in it and drove home extremely drunk the other night.
i stopped in the middle of masturbating with 20 different porn sites open to come and make this post here.
I haven't posted here in ages.
I came crawling back.
>>709
I don't have real friends. I feel the same way.
Also I've been using this place to talk about myself because it is the only persistent medium I have for doing so. On one hand I don't like cluttering up DQN with my shit but on the other I'm glad there are people who understand and support me in such a small corner of the internet.
I've turned DQN into one huge lame confessional thread. I'm the worst...
Back in the day, when I used to browse THAT PLACE a lot, I got into loli. I used to worry that I was going to be a pedo for life, but now I realize the girls I was guiltily masturbating over weren't too far from my own age. As I grew older, loli lost their appeal.
On the one hand, I'm glad I didn't turn out to be a pedophile. On the other hand, I secretly miss that juicy arousal I was once able to achieve so easily just by reading loli doujin. In fact, H-manga in general just feels too distant from reality these days.
I feel like the people on DQN and SAOVQ are the best friends I've ever had, but I'll never know any of them. This makes me sad.
I honestly prefer using aptitude to synaptic.
Last night, I actually got somewhat of a high from reading about IUPAC organic chemistry nomenclature.
My iPod is full of songs I don't actually like. The only reason why I got them in the first place was because they had become a meme on Nico Nico Douga.
I dislike this thread but feel the urge to say something about myself every time it comes up.
I keep my DQN Electronics in a separate playlist so I can turn scrobbling off when I listen to it.
>>724 awww that's no fun, i like to read up on people who scrobble dqn tracks
I say that I'm a NEET online because it's too shameful to admit that I'm actually a full-time student that holds a part-time job with a girlfriend of 8 months.
I say that I'm a full-time student that holds a part-time job with a girlfriend of 8 months because it's too shameful to admit that I'm actually a full-time worker that studies when he has time with a girlfriend of 9 months.
I mentally read "ITT" as "in this topic."
I'd her socks.
It makes me sick to my stomach to see "of" written where "'ve" or "have" is meant.
I use the like/dislike buttons on YouTube videos to affect future suggestions, not as a display of whether I liked the video or not.
People that post in threads with sage when DISPLAY_ID is false make me angry. If you don't like a thread, don't post in it. If you don't think your comment is good, don't post it. Seriously, people. It's not a difficult concept, is it? Sage isn't some magical tool that'll make a thread go away! If you post a comment worth anything at all, someone's bound to reply to it, and chances are that he won't use sage, or the person that replies to him won't, or a person replying both of your posts won't. ARGH!
>implying sage isn't magical and doesn't make 4-ch a magical place
>implying that the proper pronoun isn't "whom"
Please stop doing that. Remember what website you're on, or, more specifically, what website you aren't on.
>implying that people shouldn't ever post things they are slightly afraid to post
>implying that not every one of us are 4channelers to the core.
Dont' worry. He'll go back there soon enough. It's the only place he belongs anyway.
Yesterday I jaywalked in front of a cop car.
Fuck the police.
>>741
I got a ride in the backseat of a cop car once. The trunk was filled to the brim with shotguns.
The suspension was really nice.
>>742 I had to ride in the backseat of a cop car. I was being taken to the psych ward of the hospital.
>implying greentext isn't the new meme
Dear DQN, I participated in this ">implying" affair. I don't think it was a right thing to do.
i slept for 12 hours
I have anger issues...
>>743
I was handcuffed in the backseat of a cop car after being arrested back in high school. True story.
I was handcuffed in the back of a police car once for vandalising a local supermarket, and they searched me, she asked if i had anything dodgy in my pockets first and I said no, no i don't, then she found a bottle of amyl nitrate in my pocket and was like "hmmm what's this for?" and i said it's to get a headrush, but it's legal, it's legal! and she said "hmmm what do YOU use it for?" suggesting I liked to take it up the bum, which I didn't at that point in my life. I was quite wasted on various drugs and they said "are you on something, you seem quite spacey" and I got away with it by saying hmmm i'm normally quite spacey or so my friends say, it's just the way I am. Also I pissed myself 10 minutes before I was arrested.
I invaded private propierty.
My first martial arts instructor was named--and I swear to god I am not making this up--Jim Kirk.
I have a problem with using my charm and good looks to lure most girls I meet. But relationships are repulsive to me. Sometimes I just enjoy their affectionate advances. Other times I'm bored.
My friends tend to envy me this. I see it as just another skill - of which I have many.
>>753-san's post makes me bitter, but only because I have an inferiority complex and can't accept other people being good at things without being all misanthropic about it.
Despite the best efforts of documentary film makers, 20th century history is dreadfully boring me at best.
I used to draw a shitty comic of vulgar jokes. At first the characters were called Butt-head and Dorkus. But then I decided that Butt-head sounded too reminiscent of Beavis and Butt-head, and found out that "Dorcas" is a real (albeit old-fashioned) GIRL's name that sounds just like "Dorkus". So Butt-head became Ass-head and Dorkus was renamed to Peter F. Dick (who was also going to have an uncle called Harry Dick, but I never got around to actually writing him in...)
I also named my half-orc in Angband "Dick Halflong" once during a late-night sleep deprivation session. It kind of became a tradition for me, and as characters die a lot in that game, I got up to like Dick Halflong XIV or thereabouts.
Whenever I watch a live-action movie these days, I tend to get dreadfully bored within minutes. I suspect that all these years of watching moeblob anime have ruined me for looking at real, non-exaggerated human facial expressions.
I started to learn Japanese eight years ago, all so I could enjoy untranslated eroge. In hindsight it was so not worth the effort
>>758,759
Are you both early-to-mid-twenties who began learning it as a young teenager? I ask because I, too, tried learning around eight years ago, at which time I was fourteen. This would seem like the common age for intelligent otaku to take a stab at the language.
I still can't read it either, however :/
I started in middle school, personally (age 13). While I originally did it for the eroge, I have actually ventured out into reading more mundane/useful things over the past 11 years....
I can read (not write) about 1000 kanji fairly well now. My grammar will be awful forever. I kind of half-assed the studying, you know?
If the whole programming thing doesn't work out, I do have a shot at translating vidya gaems.
>>759,760
It seems I'm older than >>760,762. I seriously started at age 19, though I did make some half-hearted attempts before then. Currently I can read some 1400 kanji, and write maybe 900 without a reference. I'm still a college undergrad, but having Japanese as major subject helps me not be too half-assed about it. It does have the disadvantage of having to write boring essays about the economic history of tiny villages in Aomori, though. The biggest grammar problem I struggle with is matching politeness registers inappropriately to the situation.
>>763 I started learning when I was 19 as well but I only did it for a year and then my Japanese teacher lost her job and had to go back to Japan. It was heartbreaking, she was a lovely jolly little lady and she started crying in class. So I only really know hiragana and katakana and very basic vocabulary, which I'm forgetting because I haven't studied in 3 years. Which is a shame but I don't have the time...
Every time I spot a translation error in a fansubbed anime/drama, I get the urge to send a correction to the translator. But since most of the stuff I watch was aired and translated several years ago, I figure nobody would give a damn about my corrections anymore, even if I did have a way of contacting the fansubbers. And so the error remains uncorrected, and deep inside I feel guilty for not speaking up.
I self-consciously insert Americanisms into my speech whenever I post on a US-dominated online forum, even though I've never spent more than two weeks in the United States and find it frankly distasteful.
>>766
I do this too. The problem is that people insist on pointing out whenever you use a Commonwealth spelling or idiom, but never when you use American speech. I suppose it's understandable given that these sort of sites are predominantly American, but you'd think people would be more tolerant or at least get bored of pointing out you put a "u" in "colour".
I cheated at "pin the tail on the donkey" at my fifth birthday party.
Whenever I see a highly-rated YouTube comment saying "Thumbs up if condition foo is met", I vote it down. I don't like random strangers telling me what to do.
>>769 there are certain imperative statements on the Internet I am willing to tolerate, but I will never oblige those. Another one I will never oblige is the single word "Elaborate." Yes, what I said was fancy, also get off your retarded high horse if I wanted to say more I would say more; maybe if you were polite about it I might, but ah-ah-ah you didn't say the magic word.
whoops I think I mistook this thread for a chat thread my bad
>>769 I do that too. And "x people didn't y" in regards to the number of dislikes on a video. Youtube memes in general.
I kind of liked the Uwe Boll Bloodrayne movie (the first one, I haven't seen the follow-ups.)
It may have helped that I'd not yet played the game when I saw it, of course.
Speaking of Uwe Boll, every time I go to the local video rental I have to force myself to ignore the Postal movie on the shelf. One day, I need to research just how much revenue a director gets from a single DVD rental. Maybe then my internal conflict will be negotiated to a satisfactory conclusion.
>>769
Obviously it's the younger generation and I'm willing to forgive them for that (I doubt I was better at 14), but I hope the Internet as a whole outgrows it.
Makes me wonder if similar things happened when other means of communication were invented. It must have taken a lot of bickering and oh-for-fuck's-sake-give-it-a-rest before things like written communication became what they are today.
>>769
Whenever I see a comment like that, I vote it up. I secretly hope that somebody "loses it" and assaults somebody else AFK in a feat of rage. I dream about this headline in the morning news: "A dork kicked two butts over a silly youtube comment, before getting his ass whooped by a jock."
These dreams of schadenfreude make sifting through comments more or less tolerable.
I also made a few "arrow in the knee" jokes and rather successfully upset a bunch of "arrow in the knee" haters with a "sword through the chest" variations.
>>775
It only goes downhill from there.
I'd rather avoid reading "written communication" between two youngsters. Amateur radio has its share of pirates and people who can't get it right (however, it's a rather strict community). Phone pranks are increasingly more popular as recording tools, sound boards and other things become more and more accessible. And, well, the Eternal September.
I posted with this name. Again.
I must admit I feel a bit sorry for her. How much do you have to hate yourself before you begin trolling a place like DQN?
>>780
Some people don't deserve sympathy.
So as not to be entirely off topic, my lame confession is that I overuse semicolons.
I felt relieved that DQN still has people who can understand my point of view, like >>780 did!
Wouldn't be able to do much without anyone's support actually.ww
and that's why we will hunt down the collaborators, and send them to the Island of Perpetual Tickling
I overuse em dashes.
Perhaps this is a good thing since ASCII/keyboards don't have a dedicated dash and people seem to have forgotten they exist.
Every time I read a Cracked.com article and a smile passes over my face, I imagine a frat boy giggling at the exact same lines and feel bad about my amusement. I guess the Elitist Superstructure really is the perfect place for someone as snooty as me.
I can extrude hair, but I can't retract it.
I come off as intelligent and witty online, but without immediate access to Google I am nothing.
>>789
Don't people become suspicious about your response times to certain messages? If I noticed a consistent delay followed by an erratic, too-quick typing rate I might start to wonder what could initially be taking so long.
>>790
I rarely do real-time communication these days, but people are more forgiving of a minute delay in IRC or MSN than they would be over the phone or in real life. You might have less time to look something up between chatting, but on the plus side people don't expect you to type up a ten paragraph essay either.
Of course with email and message boards, it's easy to write long posts making yourself look knowledgeable about anything.
IRC is the best form of communication
I find XKCD to be unfunny.
I'm 21 and I threw out my back today cutting down thorn bushes with swords.
DQN would eventually lose itself in the recesses of my memory if it were not the browser home page.
>>795
I've lied and told everyone who has asked whether I've seen it that I actually have, only so that they can talk about it while I enthusiastically agree instead of creating the awkward, disappointed silence which follows a lack of awareness of something one holds dear.
I feel guilty bumping threads after several consecutive sages.
