Fill your house with butterflies and promise yourself to take care of them all.

On the rare occasion I actually like the music of an idol group, it's thanks to the production, not the actual singers. The only other thing idol groups have going for them is their looks and personality, but I find their personalities vapid. Although idols are sexy, I don't like how they exploit idealized standards of beauty for marketing. I'm more attracted to girls that are within my reach and not trying to sell me something.
That said, I like Perfume.

What's worrying you recently?
>>287
People hate Facebook (while continuing to begrudgingly use it) and this gives them an excuse to hate on it even more. And they might have somewhat of a point, even if custom firmwares are released, the average ignorant consumer might end up blindly agreeing to give up their privacy in exchange for access to cheap virtual worlds.
>>289
If you could live in an extremely realistic virtual reality with no consequences, how much time would you spend in it?
>>288
That depends on how enjoyable the virtual reality is compared to this one is (which I assume it is or there'd be no point asking that question.)
If that assumption holds, 24/7/365 excluding the time taken to exercise and excrete every day. Stupid inefficient meatspace body.

What would your last meal be?
>>294
That depends on what kind of society it is: a society of robots would thrive on communism whereas a society of humans would not.
For our current situation I think social capitalism (with complete government transparency and zero corruption) would be preferable, if not achievable.

Suppose you have $500 million but can only use it to erect one building. What would you build?

In terms of music history, important developments tend to form around a group of composers, making it difficult to pinpoint a single piece. In terms of affecting lives and larger political structures, it's also hard to say. Who knows how many soldiers have ended up killing more people because they were swayed by various pieces of propaganda music? Then there are revolutionary songs, like the opera "La muette de Portici", which helped start the Belgian Revolution.
That said, the most important song I can think of is "El pueblo unido jamás será vencido," the anthem of Chilean's socialist movement. The song has been used and translated by Portuguese revolutionaries, Iranian revolutionaries, Filipino revolutionaries, Argentinian revolutionaries and used in Tunisian protests, as well as other various campaigns.

It's a pretty catchy tune. Check out Frederic Rzewski's version:

On average, how much water do you drink per day, and how often do you pee?
>>305 If it was right this second, it would be quite humiliating as my trousers are around my ankles. I am not an organ donor I don't think. I have planned my funeral and I've told my mother one of the songs I want played at my funeral, but as a whole it's not the kind of thing to bring up easily in conversation. My body would be found in the morning. I wonder what would happen to my dear computer, there's quite a bit of dubious material that could be misconstrued I bet. I got it from my stepdad after he died and there were some cute webcam photos he'd taken trying out things with his hair, I dread to think mine would be found like that...
>>307 Do you want to be buried, or cremated, or something else?
>>308 Maybe being a butterfly would mean not having all these excruciating human worries, and a butterfly's fantasy would be through an optimistic lens ignorant of the pain that comes with humanity, but then I guess butterflies must have a whole selection of their own problems and hopes and fears. Fuck it, I want to be a butterfly.
>>310 If I became a butterfly but with my current consciousness, I could carry out all these secret schemes I have and no one would be any the wiser - who could possibly suspect the butterfly?

Never heard of it. Let's ask Wikipedia:
> Players are also able to collect monsters to be featured in an encyclopedia which is done through beating the monster on its head with a book until its profile shows up in the encyclopedia's pages.
Yes, I do like it.
>>312
Which should I get: The Stanley Parable or Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth?
>>312
No, because pens are too small and cheap an item for me to bother using a specialty store. If I ever run out of pens I just get the cheapest one at a random store the next time I'm out shopping. But if I were the type to buy pens online, I would probably not buy one from penisland.net, because it looks suspicious as hell (URL is only one part of this.)
>>314
Which should I get: PS3, XBOX360, or a gaming PC?
>>313
Depends on what you're looking for. For your inner weeaboo faggot who loves JRPGs, as I do, PS3 is your best bet, so that's what I got. If you're more of a CoD type, I guess XBox might be better. A gaming PC would be way more expensive than either of the other choices, so if you can afford that then you can afford all three.
>>315
Should I take a wife just to make my family happy, or should I live my own life and crush my parents' wishes of having grandchildren?
>>321
Yes, in fact. I had an Amiga 1000. My favorite moment was managing to launch two programs at the same time off one floppy disk and listening to the disk head lurch back and forth trying to load them both at the same time.
I found it much easier to get shit done on an Atari STe, though.
>>323
Are you busy?

Alas, some cruel force of nature has left me woefully imouto-less. Perhaps it is karma for some atrocity committed in a past life. If, however, I were blessed with a younger sister, I would hope to be such a fine, upstanding older brother to her that I wouldn't even need to ask for her to refer to me with such affection. On the off chance that my beloved imouto wasn't familiar with the terminology, I wouldn't hesitate to politely request that she call me Onii-chan.

Probably the Star of Chaos.

Did you ever play Warhammer? (Either 40k or the fantasy version)

Assuming you mean anonymous textboards like this one, I think they are great! The lack of identity removes a lot of problems with ego and drama. And compared to anonymous image boards, I find them more interesting...maybe because outside of kopipe, all the content has to be original. Plus all the text scares away people who just want to be lazy and look at pictures.
That said, I think DQN is good not because it's a textboard, but because it's a small community of people in a fairly similar demographic. It doesn't really matter if it's a textboard, imageboard, phpBB, USENET group, mailing list, local cafe, the youtube comments of a deer video, a secret society underneath the abandoned mansion's basement, or an obscure IRC chatroom....having a solid user base is more important than the medium itself.

Do you think dance music can be enjoyed without dancing?
>>331
Yes, I do. I do so every day, actually.

Are you interested in cults at all? If so, what do you find interesting about them?
>>338 as one kind dokyun very nicely informed me elsewhere, cilantro is not a spice but an herb. He's right, but he can still go fuck himself (maybe with a food item such as a cucumber? It's up to you, really.)
So please ignore my question and make a new one.

Four: one pair of general use brown shoes, badly worn; one pair of trainers, barely used; one pair of walking boots, well used but still in good condition, and one pair of brand new black boots I bought earlier today to replace my worn out brown ones.

What is your favourite piece of music that is less than three minutes long?
>>356
This is often brought up in the argument against utilitarianism, and I feel it's important to take into account the feelings of the voyeur(s). While there is no direct suffering inflicted upon the voyeuree, the voyeur(s) after seeing how easy it is to spy are left with a sense of paranoia that they themselves are being watched so I don't think it's possible to phrase this situation to have zero suffering.
On the other hand often times this argument is specifically phrased as "producing zero suffering" in which case the premise has already (likely falsely but none the less) tautologically stated that it's ethical so of course it's ethical.
>>358
Ethics aside, if it was right there in front of you would you take a peek?
>>365 When a girl's cuteness makes you feel all melty, and you just want to keep her in your pocket safe and warm forever. (I guess maybe a boy could be moé too, but I haven't really thought about it). What you have to remember though, is that she's a person with thoughts and feelings and hopes and dreams and aspirations; be careful not to stifle her with your selfish love.
>>367 How long has it been since fortune shone her brightest on you?
