/jp/ - Otaku Culture

NEET and otaku have fuck-all to do with each other.

It would be fine to rename them to "otaku lifestyle" threads, though, because then maybe people would stop blogging about completely unrelated stupid shit.

I do my Anki reps in the morning and study math on Khan Academy afterwards.

I usually just watch TV and take breaks to shit all over /jp/, though.

"There's" is not a word.

oh jesus christ
i've got no fuckin job man

>>10355442
>>10355457
Sorry I meant these
I'm really tired

Well I take it easy by listening to music, going for walks, looking at pictures of things I enjoy all day, tagging along with anyone going anywhere out of the house for a mini adventure, and just various other personal things. I'm really good at taking it easy even though the Winter horribly depresses me from how much more it limits me than I already am. I don't think it matters much what you really call these threads. NEET is just more broad of a term.

After 3 months without a proper PC, my mother now leaves the house more of often, so I can use hers when she's gone.

Being able to finally watch anime again and play few games that it can run truly is a great feeling.

Being a NEET without a decent machine is suffering, so make sure you take good care of your PCs, /jp/!

Can you be an intern and be a NEET?

I'm not training for anything since I'm a slave, I'm not employed since I don't get paid, and I'm not being educated because all I do is make coffee and make copies. I dunno what to classify that as.

'Otaku lifestyle' would attract unwanteds to /jp/.
There would be nothing stopping the normals of /a/.

>>10355475
I'm so lucky I have someone in my family that knows a lot about pc's that can help me if anything goes wrong. He saved my pc (more like my life.) so many times from hardware malfunctions to viruses. I don't play much games so I don't need a much more than at least a 1 TB HD and a fast, multi-core processor. I play the game Combat Arms and some other games on Steam. Serious Sam HD is as advanced graphically as it gets from what I play on my pc.

>>10355482
you fuckheads are really trying to stretch the meaning and still get called neet.

NO EDUCATION
NO EMPLOYMENT
NO TRAINING WHATSOEVER

accept the fact that you've stopped being a neet

Am I a NEET if I have a hot millionaire girlfriend?

>>10355539
>>>/v/

>>10355539
No, and you can't because I said so. Deal with it.

>>10355539

>>10355475

I go crazy if my computer breaks down without a backup.

>>10355577
You should always have at least a couple external hard drives around. A couple because for some reason they seem to be so much more easily broken than regular hard drives.

I watch anime when I have slept too much, depends on how I am feeling on the genre (ARIA if I want something peaceful and cheerful, Nichijou if I want a comedy, Penguindrum for some mindfuck, etc.), I do that until I either get sleepy, take a chill pill and sleep, or eat some leftovers if I haven't eat for a whole day. I am epileptic and anxiety, to the extent I am clinical sick, so I don't care too much.

>>10355593
>they seem to be so much more easily broken than regular hard drives.
I think it's because the drives they use for externals are refurbished internals, so you are buying something that's already stopped working before.

>>10355701
Seriously? I never knew that, where did you hear that from?

Folders keep emptying themselves on an external of mine when I plug it into a new laptop. Anyone has an idea what might be the cause of this, please?

Can one of you kind /jp/ers explain to me the process of obtaining autism bux? Is the success rate of this high enough that most NEET's have a reasonable chance of obtaining them?

>>10356568

Refer to Uncle Remus's guide.

I've lied myself into a corner. I'm at a point where I either cut all ties with all of my family or stop my NEET life.

Farewell.

>>10356597
>Farewell

So you picked the later? Get out of here, I don't want to see your face.

>>10356609
I have yet to pick anything but I will probably do so. Too much guilt for me to handle and I still like most of my family.

>>10356597
How do you guys have such dramatic families?

>>10356632
It's not dramatic at all, but a normal family only tolerates a young man doing nothing for so many years.

>>10356632
There's nothing dramatic in kicking a leech out unless you make it dramatic.

Welp, my NEET life officially ends tomorrow.

I've been "homeschooled" all my life, but that was just an excuse my mother used to keep me at home and away from other people, she didn't really teach me anything and just lied to the Grand Overseer (can't remember what they're really called) to get me a highschool diploma. Now I'm finally going to college at age 22. It's just a dumpy little community college and I still have to come back home at the end of the day, but since I'll be getting an actual education I won't be a NEET any longer. I don't know if I'll be expected to socialize or not, so I'll pack some cyanide just in case.

I plan to use this venture as a springboard to hopefully net a job and be able to move out of my parents' house. I just want to be able to get away from my stifling parents and take it easy on my own, just me and my anime girl dolls.

>>10356884
>so I'll pack some cyanide just in case.
1/10. Parents high-level bigpharma scientists, work for an intelligence agency or what?

Everyday is Sunday.
Yay.

>>10356913
You really think cyanide is hard to come by? The fuck are you smoking.

Shit general?

>>10356929
You think getting the required purity and lethal dose is a cinch especially for a very quick death to minimize pain and suffering? Just like that woman who tried to poison her husband by collecting ricin from castor beans huh? She failed miserably btw even when ricin is noteably deadlier than cyanide.

>>10356727
Why is a young woman allowed to be a "leech", yet a young man isn't? Whatever happened to your precious equality?

>>10356946
Thanks for making it even worse.

>>10356884
In any kind of college, you WILL be forced to socialize, and not socializing will mean failing many classes, as most of them have group projects/oral presentations as mandatory requirements.

If you're really unlucky, you will be forced to take public speaking classes as part of your bachelor's requirements. Enjoy!

>>10356960
You're welcome.

What is objectively the best NEET outfit?

>>10356953
Let's imagine a fine young unemployed lass came to /jp/ and made a big deal about how she was getting kicked out of her house.

I can just see /jp/ beside itself with sympathy.

>>10356966
What a load of bull.

>>10356975
Everyone can tell you're just pretending to be retarded.

>>10356975
It need to pack more punch. Have a pic of battle gear Anzu and the No-Work la resistance stuff tattooed instead. If your co-workers at your yuppie job ever do discover it, you can still awkwardly try to explain it's all an ironic joke in the first place anyways like falseNEET, false idol Anzu.

>>10356994
Counter-reverse trolling. That was a swift move.

>>10356953
>Why is a young woman allowed to be a "leech", yet a young man isn't?
Your statement is untrue. Please blame your local community for your local problems.

>>10355577
Luckily the HDD isn't dead, so I managed to transfer some music to the laptop I'm using now.

And I had no need for much else, because it can't play video files or run even remotely modern games anyway.

>>10357005
I'm sure we're all glad you're here to provide running commentary.

>>10356946
If you spent the time you used to make that image to make a good thread on /q/, these threads would be gone by now.

>>10356966

Every time I try to speak in class, even when just asking a question aloud, everything just falls apart. My heart stops beating and I immediately lose all my breath. I've probably almost had a heart attack multiple times.

Fuck public speaking.

>>10357013
Someone tried to get NEET lifestyle out of the rules a few months ago.

It didn't happen.

The past few days it's been kind of warm, so I've been taking it easy by opening the windows to let in fresh air, putting on some music and relaxing in bed. It's raining right now, which adds a nice touch to the atmosphere.

>>10356946
I like how all those threads were deleted.

>>10357042
It's been so terrible here lately, I hate Winter. I would be able to at least deal with it if it was just cold but then it's ruins you with so much other shit too like snow which melts turning everything into a sloppy, freezing mess. I enjoy nature since it's one of the only things left that gives me pure joy and sometimes even as it is cold outside I at least want to sit around a massive fire outside on weekend nights under the stars and moon. Feels much better than being trapped inside. Rain is ok sometimes though.

>>10357082
Global Warming. It's never pleasant and never there when you truly need it most. Like when getting 4+ fucking meters of snow.

>>10357082
>>10357117
I don't like harsh winters but winter should have snow.
Snow is so pretty, and I don't drive so it doesn't bother me.

Please let there be snow soon.

>>10357126
You like coin-sized or bigger hail too?

>>10357137
Gentle hail is sort of ok.

I had hail the size of the beads from Beenie-babies some time ago it was fun because it didnt hurt and there was a lot so I filled held umbrella upside down until full and then dumped it on myself

>>10357082
Overall I prefer warmer months as well, but I do sleep a lot better in the Winter. I wake up constantly if I'm not mostly covered by a blanket for some reason, it can be hard to deal with in the Summer.

I have to admit that I do think there is something nice about getting layered up and going out on a cold, blustery day to make a trip to the store. I'm not sure what it is, but I kind of enjoy it. I'm fairly indifferent to snow, we aren't forced to shovel anything around here.

>>10357168
I can't sleep well as it is, when it's colder I actually don't sleep well at all. I'm just one of those people that's always cold no matter what when the temperatures drop and always likes to dress lightly.

How NEET are you? How many years, little or no interaction with others, unable or too lazy to do basic chores etc. The truNEETs get a NEETbadge of honour.

What is that one skill you guys are neglecting to practicing because of your over-indulgent behavior?

I've been having nightmares every night for the past two weeks. Tonight I had two of them. I don't know why they keep happening.

>>10357242
I too had a nightmare recently. In my dream, I signed up for college again, and had to start all over from the beginning. My former classmates were now my seniors and had a bet going to see how long til I quit again. I woke up screaming.

>>10357259
I frequently have dreams when I'm back in high school or middle school.

Sometimes they turn into nightmares where I have to go to school but I haven't studied at all or done any homework and if the teacher catches on I'll be humiliated in front of everyone and have to drop out. The anxiety is ridiculously real.

Thankfully I usually realize that I graduated high school six years ago(and dropped out of university less than a year later) before I weak up.

>>10357259
The first one I had was me in another country when it started being bombed, and I was in a location that was being bombed.

Second was returning home and being denied entry so I had to illegally enter, and the only people I could find had some really weird bus for people to be smuggled in and everyone on the bus had to be injected with some sort of drug.

The one before this was being wrongfully arrested and in the back seat of the police car as the officer got into an accident and I died.

They sound dumb but they're scary when they happen

>>10357259
Some people in my freshmen class actually did bet on who they thought wouldn't be around next year - dropping, transfer or otherwise.

>>10356966

All I see there is a speech class that's required but that's about it. I'll just take that the first semester to get it out of the way.

Fundamentally externals are not very reliable, USB ones especially due to the lowest bidder bridge electronics. (For this reason when they "die" you can sometimes rip out the drive and put it in a desktop and it will work fine.) I have a 6TB RAID-Z NAS, but obviously you have to care about technology to build such a thing.

>>10357304
Who builds the most reliable external HDs? Don't mind paying more for more reliability.

>>10357286
I graduated high school summer of 2012. My dreams are mostly horrific nightmares (thankfully they aren't as lucid as they were before now). But every now and then I do have dreams of when I was in highschool or there will be times when I hear my mother getting up to get ready and I think "oh no I gotta get up soon!" and close my eyes for a while only wake up later and remember I'm not there anymore. Yeah school was shit but at least it gave me something to do and made life slightly more rewarding in areas during those years. I want to relive some of those years sometimes. It was shit but it was safer more rewarding shit. I wouldn't last 2 seconds back in school now though, I really ruined myself after I got out. I look back and wonder how I did what I did.

>>10357313
What drives you actually get in many of them seems to be a bit random. Last time I checked Freecom were using Samsung Spinpoints which are good. If your computer has a E-SATA interface then get an external that has that, it's better than USB. Also I haven't checked but I assume it would let you monitor the drive health via SMART data, which isn't possible over usb.

>>>/g/ , although they may start sperging out and demand you build an enterprise quality redundant NAS instead

I try not to think about things.
And to do that I have to fill my head with something, such as games and animu.

My lack of motivation gets in between of those most of the time, resulting in me actually thinking about things.

>>10357323
If you're feeling like that now, start working on reintegrating yourself into society NOW. Half a year is nothing, go get therapy, get on drugs if you have to, but do it now.

Five years from now when you finally decide that continuing your empty NEET life has no meaning, it might be already too late.

>>10357336
reintegration is not easy. Maybe I'm just projecting, but spending years in front of the computer without doing anything else causes brain damage. I believe my brain has become smaller over the past 5 years, specifically the pre frontal cortex if that's even possible (just a hunch) there are certain functions that have become... erratic, or more difficult, specially my spatial perception, general awareness, empathy and self control. It's difficult to put down my thoughts into writing, too

>>10357334
What do you think about?

I'm trying to improve with my social retardation

>Do you think it would be easier/better for there's threads to be called 'Otaku lifestyle' threads?

No, because then we'd get people who aren't NEET posting in them and ruining them.

>>10357329
My last drive died soon after the warranty expired. Reliability is the only thing I want. It can be ugly, no-frills with relatively small capacity and I couldn't care less.

I've played a MMO for a couple years, made some friends I enjoyed talking to on a daily basis online because of it. Slowly I've watched as they finished college, got jobs, got a life. They started to come online less and less and I started to have fewer contacts. I had two left, they've both moved on last year, and I'm officially alone now online and off. It doesn't feel too bad but it feels like the end of a book or movie/show when you've become attached to the characters but then it ends and you feel kind of sad.

>>10357440
suicide? is that that one suicide forest they talk about sometimes?

>>10357336
I only want to go back in to the past, there's nothing much for me in the present. It's already too late. I find meaning in music, nature, and a few other things that give me the comfort of the past. I may have actually gotten out 2011 but my memory is cloudy. I'll try to find things that will help me remember better.

OP here
What about '/jp/ lifestyle' threads?

My point being that NEET is barely 'otaku' related

To take it easy I normally play games, watch anime or any other shows that interest me or listen to music while thinking or going on /jp/

I'm not looking forward to going to work tomorrow, I have like 3k certs of insurance to sort out.

>>10357336
>>10357469
>>10357323
Sounds scary. I also frequently have dreams where I'm back in school and interacting with the friends I had there, but I am much better off socially than I was back in real life HS. I've only been a NEET since May, so it's been about 8 months or so, has that ship sailed, or do I still have a chance?

Doushio, /jp/?

>not socializing will mean failing many classes
Strange! I've heard of such a thing but can hardly imagine it. My pure, undistilled disgust of people will surely make group projects difficult for them, but I'm not as worried about oral presentations as I should be. As a child I had been forced to stand on stage in front of many people on more than one occasion so I don't think stage fright will bother me too much.

i know its hard guys but really you should get a shit posting licence

fucking rocks and i shit post all day now

Been working 7 days in a row now, and the weekend from 8am to 9pm with only a break of 1 hour to have lunch.

Only 5 more days to get a day off!, I'll read your posts later /jp/, if I don't shoot myself in the head that's it!, I love you, bye!

>>10357636

>>10356966
But this isn't true at all. Oral presentations aren't socializing at all. And for group projects you can just let them use your work and they won't bother talking to you. (this is assuming you're not clinically retarded)

>>10357527
You can go make whatever the hell thread you want, but NEET threads are NEET threads and should never be anything but NEET threads. Stop trying so hard.

>>10357723

>>10356994

you're disgusting

I've been NEET for a few years now and lately I've been feeling like I want a job.

More specifically, I want some cash. But I'm too scared to get a job because I know it's going to suck and I hate interacting with people.

Is there any part time internet based work out there?

>>10357739
yes, and if you were motivated enough you'd find it by now

>>10357636
Yeah it's a pretty good deal.

>>10357739
Suck dicks for money. You don't have to talk to people and you make a lot of money for the amount of work done.

>>10357739
>Is there any part time internet based work out there?

Yes. Now go ask a job placement counselor instead of /jp/.

I think there's a conspiracy against me to make me miserable. Everything and everyone is making me get a haircut get up at 6AM, put up with dipshits, go to school 5 days a week, 3 of them 10 hour days since it's a commute, 2 of them 2 hours, but I have to go to work right after for 8 hours, on those 2 days. A train and 2 buses full of homeless drug-addicted retards to get there all fucking week long.

All this starting tomorrow.

I wish I was fucking dead. Just kill me. Please have mercy and put a bullet in my head.

>>10357776
According to society, you are living a wonderful and fulfilling life. Great work!

>>10357728
>>10357734
Thanks.

I wonder if anyone here actually killed themselves yet.

After I woke up I went into the kitchen to discover my mother had bought my a package of Oreos, but then that my cousin had came over and eaten all of them.

>>10357776

Just don't go there, it's that simple.

>>10357803
I wish killing myself was easier. A lot of suicide methods are pretty scary. I wish I could just press a button right now and shut everything off instantly. I guess there are ways to do that, but they either risk failure or would be terribly frightening moments before.

>>10357803
I've been wondering about this since /jp/ was made.

Do you by chance live in Toronto?

How do you people deal with being NEET with long periods of time?

I have been for a few months, but it's starting to feel really monotonous. Things I used to enjoy doing don't seem as enjoyable anymore either.

>>10357889
sleep less

>>10357893
How does that help?

>>10357895
sleeping more makes you way more lazy for the day
so it demotivates you

>>10357849
if only it was that easy, we can dream at least.

>>10357846
I can't just not go. It's like there's something forcing me out of my nice easy-taking-it lifestyle as time goes by. I don't know who or what is torturing me like this. They're laughing at me. They're all laughing at me like I'm some circus clown. I think I died and am in the dimension of hell. I'm dead, dude I'm dead.

>>10357884
No. This is the dimension of hell. I can't rationalize it any other way. How else could my entire reality break apart like this? I died and I'm in hell. It's over.

I love the cold weather, hate summer with passion.

The cold dry air is the equivalent of high quality water distilled straight from a pure spring in front of you.
Summer is the worst, you get either hot dry air that burns your lungs or you have hot weather that is so humid that it's like swimming on land.
I hate it. Thermostats are expensive to keep cool in summer.

In winter you can just layer up nice and cozy.
If take all my clothes off in summer all of a sudden I'm a disgusting manchild.

In winter, the clouds usually break up the sunlight but in summer I get this blinding light focused like a laser through my cheap curtains and it's really annoying.

Winter also forces people to stay inside more often. Good, now they can stop being noisy and bothersome. In summer and spring it seems like they're trying to make as much noise as possible for the next two blocks.

I hate summer.

Autumn is the best NEET season

>>10358624
Why? Because everything's slowly dying out, like your SOUL? That's what you're getting at right? Edgy. 3deep5me.

I like early summer. The time when it gets about 100F during the days and around 70F during the night, and the days are long. For some reason I feel really good wearing only an undershirt, gym shorts, and sandals during that time. It makes me feel very nimble somehow. I love all the summertime food too. Shaved ice, iced tea, ice cream, Slurpees, grilled corn, grilled meat, Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, ect. Summertime activities are nice too. Swimming, going for evening hikes that last into the night of a full moon, cutting the grass, going for drives, bike rides, wander around the city, ect. It's a very charming time of year.

As soon as August rolls around though, it gets worse because the nights get hotter to the point where you have to either take a cold shower ever few hours, have the air on all the time, or be drinking/eating something cold. Late summer surely is the worst time of year.

Spring is nice too with the wild flowers and orange trees bloming, but the days aren't as long as they are during summer and it can still get chilly.

>>10358665

>>10358665
Fall is good because it's like winter without the biting cold.

>>10358695

>>10358695

>>10358831
Good morning Anon.


I've noticed I've been losing hair faster than I should be. There's more on the pillow everyday.
I only eat when I'm hungry and I'm rarely hungry so I end up eating one meal a day.
My sleeping patterns are all over the place and I'm only awake every second day.

Am I dying /jp/?

>>10358861
No, you're just getting bald.

How old are you anyway?

>>10358861
I remember when my hair seemed to be falling out early last year. Seems like it's okay now though.

>>10358870
23.
It's too early to go bald isn't it?

>>10358879
Men can start balding from an early age.

However, sometimes poor nutrition and overall health can cause your hair to fall out.

>>10358902
I see, I'll have to start working towards fixing this.
I don't want to lose my hair because it makes me feel pretty.

I hate to sound cliche, but often times I find myself feeling frustrated over the fact that aliens have not made contact with humans. I feel bothered wondering that perhaps life is just so rare and the universe is so vast that most civilizations flourish and die out before making contact with any others. Maybe life isn't all that rare and the Solar System is an oddity to have forms of life in it while being so far away from other civilizations.

What's your game?

I probably could have made money on a video I posted like 7 years ago.

Is it possible to actually atrophy mentally from being a NEET? I always used to joke that I've gotten dumber from being on the internet so much, but recently it seems like my thought processes have actually degraded by a considerable extent. My vocabulary is smaller, and I have issues with spelling/typos/grammar much more often, and phrasing myself properly is often difficult.

I have trouble with really basic math exercises like telling how long it'll be until a certain time, and my memory and attention/focus can't be described as anything other than shit. I often get up to do something only to have forgotten what I meant to do in the first place, and I really can't focus like I used to.

>>10359022
Ugh, I can't stand LPs where people seem like they're forcing themselves. Either forcing themselves to be enthusiastic or act friendly or otherwise, it's just gross.

>>10359056
It depends entirely on how often you do mental work.

>>10355451
This. Neet lifestyle doesn't have anything to do with otaku lifestyle. Because of these threads /jp/ is full of second rate "otaku" who don't even know basics of otaku culture.

>>10359056
Oh god, yes. Yes it is and you've reminded me.
It all stems from the laziness and disuse, I've grown too lazy to do even the most mundane tasks and when I speak it's like I'm drunk or something.
I also forget things and have to retrace my steps to remember things less than a minute ago. Focus is also shot, can't stick to doing one thing unless it requires minimal effort.

Yes it rots your brain so please at least stimulate your mind with something so it doesn't degrade into something worse.

>>10358988
Because one of my friends from highschool did one and it's horrible

>>10359056
>>10359070


holy shit man, and I thought I was the exception,

I match that depiction exactly, my life got out of hand ages ago though I can't do much for the time being

>>10359070
The worst thing is that I don't really see it stopping. I don't want to become a de facto retard but to be perfectly frank, I don't care enough to change my lifestyle. I don't have any use for my brain anyway.

>>10359070
>>10359091
>>10359094
You guys are scaring me.

>>10359102
That's the kind of thing you should expect if you enter a life of self neglect. There's nothing saying that you can't be a healthy NEET, but to be perfectly honest, if I could be bothered to keep myself healthy I'm not sure I'd be a NEET in the first place.

>>10359125
Considering this is /jp/, wouldn't learning Japanese at least keep the brain decently fit? Or is language learning not enough exercise for the brain?

>>10359056
I'm not sure but now I can't even remember half the stuff I do all day. Even things like watching anime, I'll finish an episode and then thirty minutes later I won't even be able to remember all the stuff that happened in it. I generally feel like I'm walking around in complete tunnel vision, and now I have a hard time focusing on large blocks of text, they tend to just scramble and I can't read it.

>>10359192
I doubt I could tell you what I did two days ago let alone a week ago.

>>10359156
If I had to make up something effective, I'd recommend spending 30% of your time awake (~30 hours a week) with mathematics, exercise and language/art. Just memorizing things isn't as effective as being creative with abstractions. I think it's a huge waste that so many people shun these activities because they have learned to associate them with school life.

I remember my uni days when stopping a study session before getting tired felt like self-imposed lobotomy because mundane things were so depressingly simple.

Bad nutrition - just like alcohol - can be deceptive because the effects aren't immediate, obvious or measurable.

>>10358624
I love winter. I dislike summer since it tends to get too hot here but the cold temperate is for me.
Next week is going to be the coldest this month with -12C and snow will be dropping soon.

>>10359213
It kind of sucks, I've been shut in for a year now, and it used to be a lot of fun because I'd just indulge in my hobbies all day. Now that I can't even remember whats going on in the shows I watch, or the games I play, its really becoming harder and harder to take it easy.

>>10359156
there are two kinds of NEETs. Those who invest their free time into something productive, and those who don't. you are probably talking to the latter

>>10359243
What do productive NEETs produce?

>>10359192
>>10359236

recalling things turned out to be insanely hard lately as well, the similarities are too much... weird

aslo I don't know why but I can't stop moving my legs when I'm in front of the computer nor focusing on the same thing for more than 5-10 minutes top. it's like some sort of anxiety issue I don't know

Watching trainstream all night its all I do lately

>>10359264
Waste

>>10359243
Self-improvement and productivity don't have to correlate in any way.

>>10359268
Moving your legs how? I usually shift position every few minutes to avoid numbness.

I also feel some sort of anxiety most of the time, it evens gets as bad as having an overwhelming sense of doom looming over my head.

>>10359264
Just think about it. Time is wealth. A 2000 hour investment can buy you fluency in any language, the ability to play a musical instrument, anything really. I wish I was productive, but I don't have any dedication

>>10359279
like constantly and fast, I can't stop even though I try to stay still, it gets pretty annoying

and I feel bad overall generally, like always so sleepy and shit, but well, considering my diet of barely drinking water, one meal a day and sleeping in shifts most of the time, it's likely to happen I guess

>>10359292
I used to do that leg thing a few years ago, don't know why. I could stop it if I thought about it and eventually it stopped. Would crossing your legs help stop you from doing it?

>>10359296
yes a bit but not for long, what really helps me to stop is sitting with one leg on top of the other, but I start to feeling uneasy as soon as I'm sitting like that and start moving the knee instead

i added beans to my diet and ever since i wake up at night to fart into my toilet
is that otaku culture enough for you jip?

>>10359299
You should try to do something that busies your brain, play a hard game or something else that requires a lot of concentration and see if that takes your mind off it.

>>10359302
are the farts that bad? and well I don't think so, most people would just fart on their beds/floor I guess, out of laziness

>>10359309
the farts are bad but dry. i always fart into my toilet and flush to reserve a healthy otaku environment

>>10359302
Why do you need to fart in the toilet?
I just do let it out or at least shift away from my seat so it doesn't make the chair smell.

Also what chairs do /jp/ use?
Desk? Dining? Stool?
I use an old half-broken desk chair.

>>10359316
mine is like a very low dining chair with the sit rest a bit inclined

>>10359292
I'd prefer to feel sleepy all the time, now I can't even fall asleep at all. I've been averaging 4 hours of sleep a night for the past two weeks now.

It's way too cold right now. I wish I was a reptile so I could just sit under a heating lamp at times like this. I can't take it easy at all.

>>10359349
Lets swap places, it's hot as fuck here in Australia.

>>10359268
Me neither I get so restless sometimes, for me it's moving around my chair because I can never find a comfortable spot. I usually sit with my legs up to my body on. I also have have no patience anymore, if I'm downloading something and it isn't going fast enough for me and I really want it I'll just start having a mental panic attack. Especially if I have to do something after I get it like back up some new stuff to my external. Like right now and it's driving me crazy.

>>10359316
My chair is a very old, metal supported chair with leather like padding that is completely torn up in the middle. It works out for me though because I sit either cross legged, or with one leg kneeling down and another up to my chest.

I started running/walking.

It feels amazing at night.

You should try it /jp/. Whenever you feel like shit, just take a run.

I also started seeing a psychologist. I have my appointment tomorrow. I don't know what to expect.

>>10359349
I know, the cold is killing my body and mind. It's so much harder to take it easy in Winter when there's the constant feeling of icy needles on every area of your head, arms, and legs as you can't do anything.

I just passed my final apprenticeship exam and am now officially NEET.

Can't wait to use all that free-time. Any recommendations?

>>10359586
How much is it to see a psychologist or psychiatrist anyway?

>>10359597
You have to be NEET for at least half a year to qualify being NEET.

Go back to /soc/

>>10359598
Mine was free.

But I'll make a post when they charge me. From what I've been told, not too expensive.

>>10359316
I sit on the side of my bed

feels bad, no back support, but I have too much clutter for a nice comfy chair

>>10359598

If you are poor enough there are places you can go that don't cost anything.

>>10359617
Thanks.
I've been meaning to see one to confirm some suspicions.

What made you decide to start seeing one? I'm rather afraid because revealing too much may get me pills or time in a facility.

>>10359602
wasen't that the requirement for truNEET?

>>10359632
Well as long as you're not suicidal, like immanent suicide, they won't do anything.

I suffer from panic attacks and I had them under control for about 3 or so years now. Recently I decided to watch the Madoka movies far away from home and I had the worst attacks that I've had in years. That led to a flare up of my anxiety and so I decided to see one so I can finally get an official diagnosis. I'm getting much better though.

>>10359632
>I'm rather afraid because revealing too much may get me pills or time in a facility.
Psychologists can't prescribe pills, you'd need to see a psychiatrist or doctor licensed to prescribe them. They can't put you in a mental hospital unless you're deemed an immediate risk to yourself or others.

>>10359688
if you're not suicidal nor a danger for your surroundings they can't put you in a psyq ward?

>>10359697
No. I've been to several psychiatrists and therapists and never been in a mental hospital. They're going to ask you if you're suicidal or want to hurt other people, if you don't then they have no reason to want to commit you.

I've been a friendless hikky neet for more than 2 years.

>>10359656
Not really suicidal but more apathetic and everything that comes with it.

Can't say I've had a panic attack yet but it sounds terribly inconvenient. Hopefully they'll be a rarer occurrence now that you have a means of fixing it.

>>10359702
See that's what I'm getting at, I wouldn't want to actively hurt someone but there wouldn't be much holding me back if the situation led to it.

I've been going through Pixiv collecting fanart for days now, I was looking at an artist bookmarks and then I saw some really nice art, took a look at that persons bookmarks, kept doing that for ages

started seeing new tags for various pairings and such and now I have a huge backlog of fanart to save from pixiv, there is so much.. does anyone else have this problem?

>>10359714
If you're really so worried then just don't go at all unless you are just going because you want to get on some payment program because you can't do anything in your life on your own. They don't want to be your friend, they just want their money and to possibly lock you up. It's a trap, don't go to one without a plan to get something out of it and get out of there as quickly as possible.

>>10359708
It's probably because you're so unlikeable.

>>10359724
I just want to weigh my options, see if the effort is worth getting autismbux or other benefits.

>>10359729
i will punch you right in your deformed serpent socket, you terrorist seal clubber

>>10359732
If you want to get autismbux you should start getting a history of treatment as soon as possible. The more doctors/therapists you've seen, the more likely you are to get accepted.

what doea a NEET cock smell and taste like?

>>10359747
fish

>>10359729
I became shut-in by myself. ;)

>>10359750
is it hard to get a therapist to put me on codeine?

>>10359755
I'm not sure. Psychiatrists/doctors prescribe meds based on your specific issues, it's generally not a good idea to ask for a specific medication because they may think you'd abuse it.

I work from home part time and am able to support myself financially. I enjoy browsing 4chan and the boorus, but only watch one or two animes every few months. I'm usually playing stuff on Steam.

I don't have to have anime as a priority to be NEET, right? Can I still qualify?

>>10359801
This is actually the dumbest question.

>>10358979
how does a processor die, nerd?

>>10359801
what do you do part time? You don't have to answer if you don't want to, I was just curious

>>10359801
(N)ot in (E)ducation (E)mployment or (T)raining

you're obviously not a NEET and let me tell you that being one is nothing to be proud of, really, don't try to fit in or pretend just because you think it may look cool.

>>10357304
>I have a 6TB RAID-Z NAS, but obviously you have to care about technology to build such a thing.

Or have a lot of money. That's at least $600 or more.

Being NEET is not a status symbol!

>>10357329
SMART over USB in dependent on the SATA-USB bridge that the drive uses. Most support it.

Still, external drives are mostly shit, you're better off with an internal.

>>10359810
>>10359820
I didn't thoroughly read the OP, I just always see these threads and wanted to respond to this one

>>10359817
Transcription

>>10357527
Calling it anything other than a "NEET" thread would only make it harder for me to find it.

>>10358094
Me too. I agree with everything you've said.

Fucking summer.

>>10359070
I seem to be unable to write anything longer than the length of a typical post on /jp/.
And I can only communicate in simple sentences.
And my vocabulary has become very small.

>>10359268
I think it is some sort of anxiety problem.

I have over 200 tabs in firefox, and I get stressed out about them, and I switch between the for no reason constantly. Then I go to sleep thinking I should close some of them.

Any NEET here not suffering from ``anxiety and depression''?

>>10359890
well mine comes and goes, sometimes brought on by something or sometimes just randomly, right now I'm pretty chill though

>>10359890
>anxiety
it's been a nightmare lately
>depression
struggling with depressions since age 11, (22 yo now), it comes and goes from time to time, a lot of mood swinging

been a NEET for 3 years minus a short period of 3 months that I went to college but couldn't stand it any longer and quit

>>10359911
You sound fat.

>>10359890
Some may be happy with the comfortable place they've made for themselves but don't post often because there's not much to post about.

I may have spells of depression and anxiety but not enough for me to seek a normal life.
That's all that matters, right? Eh heh heh.

>>10359915

4 years ago maybe a bit, but as of now? I'm a skinny fag that barely eats

>>10359920
I do too but it's not a desire of normal life I want. My desires are will always kill me with it every so often. What I want isn't possible for me.

>>10358094
are you me!?

>>10359936
we're all you

>>10359866
Not sure if it's the same but I have hundreds of bookmarks which include threads, and I don't have time to read the updates on them all. The problem is I don't want to remove them because I haven't checked them but instead of checking them I look at new ones which add to the pool.

I also have tens of thousands of unsorted images which I have and add for the sole reason of collecting them. I rarely use them, I rarely even look at them.

My backlog of anime, games and VNs is ever growing because I never get around to finishing them because of this state of perpetual distraction and procrastination.

There are too many things on my list of things to do with my NEET time but I don't know where to start and as such never do.

oh god help me

>>10359890
I have ``turbonerd'' syndrome.

>>10359947
1st world problems

>>10359947
>I also have tens of thousands of unsorted images which I have and add for the sole reason of collecting them. I rarely use them, I rarely even look at them.

>My backlog of anime, games and VNs is ever growing because I never get around to finishing them because of this state of perpetual distraction and procrastination.


I have these problems too, I just started sorting through my fanart, tons and tons of it, I just started sorting by pairing and individual character and made small goals for each day. So far it's going by fast. I also plan to sort and organize my 4chan folder into sub folders for different boards and sub folders in those for different stuff

I also started playing some of my games from my backlog, those actually go by pretty fast since I don't have any distractions and they're fun sometimes. I don't really watch much anime except maybe one series or two each season so that's not hard to keep up with.

It's all about making small goals

>>10359947
I can never be doing too much on my pc at once or I get overwhelmed and have a panic attack. I always try to force myself to do things for my own sake and usually they are really worth it in the end. I always have a few tabs open at most. Happened before when I got confused when doing something on it. I can only mentally handle very simple tasks. My images are not that sorted for the most part, I just know where everything is but everything else on my pc is organized very well. I gotta keep my mind almost absent of much thoughts at all for my own safety or I get too stressed out.

>>10359890
If someone posts that stupid "two types of NEET" kopipe once again, I'll bully them to hell and back.

>>10359947
I used to have the same problem. Then I decided to study japanese.

nothing sinks into my brain anymore, it just goes in one ear and out the other. i watch some anime or play a game and it just sort or registers what's happening but doesn't record anything. i can barely remember what day it is and can rarely recall what i did when

>>10360030
you might have a brain tumor

>>10360030
it is if like with every new post everyone is describing my life exactly as it is

>>10360037
it's siomilar to what others have described in this thread, also i've had numerous medical examinations for all sorts of shit. I'm 100% physically healthy

>>10360044
You are ascending your physical form and becoming a higher being.
You have nothing to worry about, friend.

I've tried to end my life 3 times now and each time has been horrible.

The first one I tried to hang myself but I made the noose knot to low and my feet reached the floor. After that I didn't have the heart to do it because hanging yourself hurts quite a lot.

Next time I went all the way to the coast and looked for a cliff to jump off but I couldn't find one so I wasted whole day without my desktop.

The third time I just thought, "fuck it" and got all the pills I could at once. Woke up in hospital because my brother found me writhing around on the floor. Now I have to go to counseling and be under constant watch.

Suicide is hard as balls.

>>10360049
with a proper knot you would have been a goner, and I'm not sure if it is that painful if you do it right, some people say that you pass out pretty quickly

>>10360049
I recommend you try drinking some Drano, it is pretty painless and you waste away quick.

>>10360049
i really want to kill myself, i'm just scared of failing. the thought of all the emotional fallout from family members is just frightening.

>>10360040
Maybe because a lot of us all experience in general the same kind of shit from being like this for long. Our brains are slowly starting to malfunction more and more as time goes on.

>>10360060
look up the exit bag method, also hanging is pretty accurate if there is nobody close to help you

>>10360049
I don't have pills except sleeping pills and I don't have a rope. I had a really dumb plan that I would keep myself awake for maybe two days or until im about to pass out, take a ton of sleeping pills, and before I fall asleep I would put one of those big trash bags over my head and make sure it was tight with some strong sticky tape.

The idea is that I would have enough air in the bag to be comfy enough to fall asleep and then maybe a half hour later I would slowly lose oxygen and die while asleep.

>>10360060
I have a father, disabled, and I help him a lot. He gets a decent check because he worked for the state before he had to retire because of his disability, he pays for everything of course, and in return I help him out a lot. We're both pretty much shut in lol, I only really keep going because I have to help him out. I don't want to die and leave him alone without any care.

>>10360071
i know all about that, i've done shit loads of research and have my plan figured out. i just don't have the balls to do it.

>>10359056
>>10359070
I'm feeling all this. It's so difficult to track down specific activities because everything is too similar. I feel like I have to stop taking it easy because it's getting too hard to.

>>10357393
I feel you. I graduated high school two years ago, and kept contact with a bunch of my younger friends. We don't talk anymore. I think I recently lost my last younger friend. She graduated a year after me and we would take it easy together. She'd come over and we'd play VNs together... She had to go to college a week after christmas though. Her parents made her get a dorm just so she wasn't using the car and I have no way to contact her. I miss her.

>>10360071
I'm >>10360049. This "exit bag" sounds pretty nice. Thanks /jp/!

>>10359947
>I have hundreds of bookmarks

Yeah, me too. I spend more time looking for new information than I do absorbing it. I have a few lifetimes worth of ebooks, and yet I download more each day. Fuck this shit.

>>10360081
So many people online have came and went. My friends list in some places is more like a graveyard now. I'll always stick around though doing the same thing I have been doing for a large part of my life on the internet. May be lonely but I take comfort in the fact that I'll never change. The same person you knew is still the same person in the same place if not slightly more evolved at most. I plan to keep myself where I am forever.

>>10360134
>I take comfort in the fact that I'll never change.

I take comfort in the fact that I can't change, literally speaking, but one way or the other, sometimes it gets to you

>>10360134
>The same person you knew is still the same person in the same place if not slightly more evolved at most.

Can you elaborate on this part? I didn't understand it. Were you talking about yourself from an outsider's perspective?

Also, I've thought about losing people on the internet, and have come to the conclusion that it's inevitable, but it helps to think of all the good times you've had with them. All the good times you've had with people will always exist in your memories, so that's good enough, I guess.

>>10360134
this fucking thread! it's like everyone is me. end of school i has quite a few friends on MSN from a couple of forums, 6 years later and only a couple come online at all and i only talk to 1 person every once in a blue moon.

Hey /jp/. 7 years NEET here. How do I go about getting autism bux? What is the typical monthly payout?

I am in America, I should say.

>>10360167
install gentoo

I honestly thank /jp/ and 4chan as a whole for being here. I think I might go a bit crazy if I literally had nobody to talk to, luckily I have this website to post anonymously to help relieve stress and talk to others that are like minded.

I don't really want to do forums with a profile where my post follow me for years, this really is a great place when you think about it.

>>10360180
indeed. I can't imagine living without 4chan, it would be a way more painful experience for me.

>>10357117
Bullshit.
I had to sleep in a forest with -30 degrees celsius last winter.

>>10360172
Done. What next?

(I'm reading the SSI website, but any first hand experience would be helpful.)

>>10360261
Install gentoo for real.

>>10360134
I just feel... trapped, kind of. With no people to go outside other than my dad and roomates, I am home. I love watching anime, playing games, listening to music and small craft things. But I feel like I could be doing so much more. I became too dependent on people, and now that there's noone to drag me out of my little hole, I feel like I'll just be stuck here forever. And while I do like the feeling of solitude, I don't want to be alone forever. Right now I have some... sort of ldr with someone. But I don't know, it feels like I should be actively looking for someone to be with in real life. Since long distance just keeps me in the house even more. I'm very thankful for 4chan like >>10360186 . I might want to actually do stuff outside at some point, but for right now, talking to you guys is just right. Just right.

>>10359231
Got any good websites for (re)learning calculus? I already know about Khan Academy and Wolfram, but there have to be others, right?

I feel like my math skills have deteriorated severely since I started NEETing it up, I want to fix this before it's too late.

Also, which 2hu would be the best at math?

I bought a Something Awful account earlier today so I could have better discussion about my hobbies, yet ironically I'm too afraid to post.

I think I wasted $10, that could have gone towards a game or figure.

>>10360060

What's the best degree to get to teach english and eventually japanese in Japan? I wan't to stop being a NEET but still take it easy. English and Japanese literature?

>>10360422
Teach Japanese on Japan? Being a foreigner?

Are you kidding?

>>10360284
how the fuck does one learn math using wolfram? you mean mathematica or something?

I haven't had a friend in 10 years

will anyone be my friend?

no bully pls

>>10360526
ill be your fake friend on steam

Help I think I'm experiencing diabetes symptoms. If I just start working out and stop weighing 300 pounds it will go away right

>>10360539

Eating healthier foods might help.
Stop inhaling Oreos or something.
Working out will probably help other things, it might help that too.

Maybe look online for some tips.

>>10360539
are you drinking soda?

if you don't mind cancer switch to diet

I used to be 300 lbs but when I switch to diet now I'm 190 lbs

>>10359702
I'm guessing the key word here is "immediate"? As in, you can bring up that you've thought about suicide often, but as long as you don't make it clear that you want to kill yourself then it's fine?

I think about suicide frequently, however I don't see myself actually doing it simply because I have no motivation to.

>>10360554
Dying is too much of a hassle

I'd have to order all the parts needed and then decide if I want to really do it.

I don't drink soda. Tea and juice is nicer.

>>10360273
Person you replied to here. I also do in many ways (even more so when it's so cold I can't go outside). I only have my father to do things with or more like just tag along with on friday and saturday nights. Usually to a cheap buffet we always go to, pizza, or wherever else is on his mind. I feel so dead alone though like I'm a ghost or something. I enjoy the emotional numbness of those nights though. Relax with some music in the car and go somewhere to enjoy myself. Lonely being out in public alone but at least I'm seeing something outside of the house with the places we go, I also tag along with anyone when they go shopping and stuff. I like to go on mini adventures even if I got nothing much to buy, it keeps my head above the water just enough so that I don't completely lose my mind. I am stuck forever, I don't what else to do. The place I grew up will probably be my death bed.

What single word would you neets use to best describe yourself?

I've been getting terrible mood swings as of late for the most ridiculous of reasons, due to this fear of how "burdened" I am towards my hobbies. Sometimes when I'm laying in bed or browsing /jp/ I'll actually get suicidal thoughts because I can't deal with the amount of stuff that needs to be experienced.

I haven't touched a light novel yet, I can't even remember any other Japanese VAs that aren't Wakamoto and all I do is watch Hollywood films that I still "need" to see, far from touching any foreign films that aren't Samurai, Giant Monster, Animated or The Host. 21 years of my life and all I have to show for it is a half-ass gaming resume, yet I haven't even beaten Baldur's Gate 2 for god's sake.

I legitimately have all the free time in the world yet I still feel pressured. If I could I would probably just wish to be a machine, not being required to eat or sleep sounds very beneficial, along with the added bonus of multi-tasking. Is there a terminology for this kind of attitude or am I just a terrible person? Can any NEETs relate?

>>10360273
I'd say I'm the opposite. There are some things that in my mind I'd like to be able to do, like read play the piano and read japanese, but I already know myself too well and realize the second I try I'll become disillusioned and stop again.

I don't like leaving my house. There's nothing for me outside of my house, I don't want a wife or children, friends, money, or anything else. If anything I wish I could live with less. I wish I didn't need food, water, shelter, or anything else.

"Learning calculus" within the context of the university course essentially means grinding problem sets for a few days preceding your examination and identifying patterns and elements of challenge introduced within the generic problem types which compose the format of your evaluation.

Online resources tend to introduce and develop mathematical ideas in their simplest forms so not to obscure the concept. Through this distilled format you will likely achieve a swift "understanding" of the ideas structuring the material but you will still be far from exam-functional. A university level evaluation assesses not your basic grasp of the material, but your competence with the puzzle varieties their format happens to incorporate. The theorems/topics/problems the course discusses serve auxiliary roles in the evaluation. So very much like sudoku's - you may grasp notions of symbolically represented quantity, numbers, but you wont be capable of deducing the form or rule set of the game without some additional information.

Undergraduate mathematics is a game of making intelligible an assortment of bizarre symbols and completing a series of dull puzzles which happen to incorporate them. Potentially the easiest obtainable degree if you are capable of not being prematurely stunned into submission by the popular superstition surrounding the subject.

don't underestimate the power of education to make everything dull

Finding it harder to get absorbed in anime or video games anymore. It's even a challenge to pick them up in the first place now. Kinda depressing especially since nothing else filled up time as well as these.

>>10361200
too much of anything is a bad thing

it messes with your pleasure receptors

How do I get more money to spend while still being a NEET?

I spent my lump sum autism check of $10,000 and now I have no more money for figurines or dakimakuras

I wish I was pretty enough to sell myself on webcam

Any veteran NEETs around? How do I continue living as a NEET with out wasting away into nothing?

>>10361514
Workout

Keep up with your reading or your brain will wither

Eat healthy

Do these things or you will atrophy into a troll

Goodnight my friends.

I want to take it easy but sometimes I come to the crippling realization I'm doing nothing and my brain starts to feel bad.

How do you guys avoid this?

>>10361931
Nobody said that being a NEET means you have to do nothing with your time.

>>10361931
take it hardcore

>>10360694
True.

We only get to live once. I am living it how I want.

>>10361945
Well I just don't do anything productive, I don't have the willpower to.

I consume media like games, anime, and movies.

Find a creative hobby. I like drawing.

I envy the people who say they're eating less now that they're NEETs. I'm eating alot more and gaining weight. Before I didn't eat much meat except for fish but now I'm stuffing down lots of chicken and bacon. I think I've become literally addicted to bacon and pork rinds. Yes. I'm fat.

>>10362814
I've got a few extra pounds during my NEET years just because I sit at the computer all day

I have been neet since I was 14, and my life has been getting better and better. I'm getting on ssi soon, and I'm planning to move out into an apartment (my mom is kicking me out soon) and then build a house out in the boonies. Does anyone else have a similar plan?

>>10359866
Same for me, all the tabs are tabs I intend to deal with some day but can't be bothered to lose right now. Even though I know I won't ever get around to dealing with threads or potential downloads I can't bear to shut them. There is too much to do so I choose not to do anything.

>>10360661
I understand so much. I can't even do that dive around thing. When I look at my gas needle, I just realize how much money I don't have and how much I need a job and the tears feel like they want to come up. It's a vicious circle.

>>10360718
I really envy you. But I just can't ever stop vang like that. It's as if it's expected of me. I always feel that pressure to find someone and get married, while my family does play a part in that, it's mostly my biological clock thing.

Does reading really help, I thought that was a myth.

Has anyone here tried to make living from online sport betting?

sounds dangerous, need money to invest to begin with and imagine if you lost that starting money at the very beginning

Does reading 4chan post count? I always wondered this when people said to read more

>>10363795
>Does reading 4chan post count?

Maybe threads when there is a serious/decent discussion going on, but average threads I don't think so...

I usually read VNs, fanfics, and the like, not taking into account minor things like anime subs and well, 4chan threads.

if I'm extremely tired or can't focus at all on things due to anxiety (most of the time) it is if like I didn't read a thing after 10 minutes of finishing what I was reading or less, but if I'm on a good mood and well rested I feel different towards a good read, like retaining the information for a bit longer and that sense of intelectual fullfilment even if it was a short read, the problem is that it is difficult to fully appreciate something when you have a messed up sleep schedule, depression, and a terrible diet.

What is the recommended version of Touhomon? I wanted to try it but there's way too many patches so I don't know where to start.

holy shit i can't believe you faggots are saging after the bump limit

trying too hard to fit in much?

Do you guys want to learn something together? Maybe we could get in some chatroom or something. I recently downloaded 543 "for dummies" books so we could learn anything from accounting to music composition!

Maybe I'm just on one of those "today's the day!" NEET kicks, but if we do it together, we can keep each other motivated!

>>10364161
I want to learn game design and make a game huehuehue

>>10364161
Yeah, let's do this shit, dude.

I'm afraid we wouldn't agree on what to study, though.

What would you like to study? I have a lot of books too.

>>10364180
>>10364180

Well, I dunno. All I can say is I wouldn't be very interested in something like a programming language.

Is there anything you wouldn't be up for learning? I suppose we can narrow it down.

Languages, maybe? We could start one from scratch and write to each other in it for practice.

>>10364161
>>10364178
>>10364180
>>10364192
Like #jp-prog or whatever?

Are we just going to reboot that project every year?

>>10364192
Learning a new language seems like a too daunting and open-ended task. I think we need something with a goal we can work towards, or something.

I have no idea really.

>>10364211
>something with a goal we can work towards, or something.

I don't have an idea either of what that could be but sounds about right,

>>10364221
Well, everyone should post a suggestion of what they would like to learn, and then we work from there. I'm guessing it would be something technological. Most likely creating something.

How about some basic 3D stuff in Blender? I don't know how hard it is, though.

That could be a goal in itself. Also we would need some way to communicate. I personally don't like IRC, I'd prefer something anonymous.

>>10364229
>I personally don't like IRC, I'd prefer something anonymous.

I agree

>>10364229
>>10364232

yeah it has to be anonymous definetly

>>10364232
>>10364234
Like an anonymous BBS? Like #jp-prog had?

Seriously this idea comes up all the time and nothing gets done. When you get to the point where you have your own board/wiki/IRC/etc. it's no longer "/jp/" but its own community that happens to spam /jp/ memes. This applies whether it's anonymous or pseudonymous.

>>10364239
>it's no longer "/jp/" but its own community that happens to spam /jp/ memes.

Yeah, that's true. If it's anonymous, there won't be any circlejerky cliques like on IRCs, though.

Still, it will be the same group of people since I don't think many people from /jp/ will be interested in doing something like that.

I'm trying to find a way for us to communicate, somehow.

We can use TorChat, but I don't know if you can have a room with multiple people. Anyone want to get it and try?

>>10364261
I mean, it's all anonymous so it's pretty much perfect.

Well, how about something like Google talk for communication?

Everyone will have to create accounts, but it's probably the easiest way. Or just about another IM, I guess.

I would set up a server or something for us to chat on, but I don't know how and I don't have a server.

How about we all get assigned a colour


I'm Mr Pink

Fuck it, nothing will come out of it. We can't even find a way to communicate.

Even on the internet it's hard as fuck to interact with people.

How about something like this?

http://www.twiddla.com/1

>>10364276
Let's do it, if we don't start now we never will! Signing up for Google Talk now...

or check this shit out, seems pretty cool.

http://wtfismyip.com/jabber/

>>10364250
But again, this is all pretty moot since we did it a year ago and that community is still actively working on something.

Were you sick that day?

Sometimes I wish I could sleep forever

I get bad headaches after sleeping for 16+ hours

Holy shit, Google talk is a fucking pain in the ass. It won't let me sign up until I hand every bit of information to them. Then it tells me that "Google talk is not activated on your account"

What a load of shit. I'll try >>10364315
out now.

>>10364229
make it happen, anon!

How many people do we have here that are willing to do something together, anyway?

Also, >>10364315
seems like the best choice at the moment.

I'm up for >>10364315, just let me know when someone gets a room up

>>10364410
Looks like 3 at the moment.

Alright, I registered for the jabber server.

I'm freeloader@wtfismyip.com

I don't really know how this thing works. How do we create a room? This is hard.

>>10364417

I'm jingo@wtfismyip.com

I don't know, I'm trying.

>>10364417

Rooms up and all, just add one of us for an invite

Make a new NEET lifestyle thread, you fags. I have something important to contribute and it warrants a bump.

You fags can organize all this but can't get a job?

>>10364465
"LOL I TROL U I HAV A JOB" does not warrant a bump.

>>10364466
Hahah, getting a job involves leaving the house and talking to people! Piss off you silly git.

To anyone interested in doing something together:

1. Go here: http://wtfismyip.com/jabber/

2. Register an account, etc.

3. Add >>10364419 or >>10364417 or just join xmpp://jaypee@conference.jabber.org if you already have an account.

>>10364502
ya'll niggas gonna sit around for hours and eventually fall asleep while nothing happens?

>>10364502
Do you have anything planned already?

>>10357393

I have the same problem. Most of the people from my generation left my old online haunts. I finally quasi-left since being there since 2004. I never made any lasting relationships; some lucky people there were even getting married. I also had a traumatic experience in another community (SL) -- that was back when I actually had anything to say + social skills. I was funny and with the in crowd back when SL was text only. Now I can barely muster up anything to say even in text

>>10356966
This is one of the reasons I don't want to go back to college. In the last class I took, I skipped a whole presentation and a week of class to avoid publicly humiliating myself.

My room always smells like farts

>>10366077
mine smells bad too

>>10359056
open a window for some fresh air, then try again

I felt like i was degrading but it turned out my apartment just has incredibly little circulation ... and no oxygen brought me to practically cirno level thinking skills

>>10364502
Doing what together?

prepare yourselves my NEET brothers, today Obama takes away the guns of the people, looting and rioting await. I suggest you go into hiding and try to wait out the impending shitstorm
