/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I cut my own hair.

I'm balding so growing my hair out makes me feel less depressed.

Do "barber" and "barbarian" share a common etymology?

I'd look it up myself, but I've locked myself out of every site that isn't 4chan using parental control software.

>>9754382
ebig dude

You're really insistent on this aren't you?

It's a strict policy of mine to never let my hair overgrow. I view very long hair as messy, classless, and reminiscent of rowdy metal fans.

I cut my own hair
my aunt works at a salon though so sometimes she cuts my hair
doesn't really matter, I just wish I could have long straight hair and pretend to be a little girl.

I can't stand it when straight people have long hair.

It's funny because when OP gets rightfully banned people will cry that meido deleted the NEET lifestyle thread.

>>9754402
Why would the OP be banned for this? The thread is fine. It's not like he is trying to "troll /jp/ for the epic lulz "

>>9754397
What's stopping you from not letting it grow?

>>9754382
Nope. Barbarian comes from the greek word "barbaros".

I hate getting haircuts. I'll let my hair be free and wild, I'm not gonna waste money to look like a nerd.

Haircuts are awkward as hell, I avoid them as much as possible

If you let other people cut or even touch your hair, you're not even a NEET at all!

>>9754407
Because he has been reposting this thread for hours without the NEET lifestyle title, so he probably got reported for spamming and/or reposting after deletion. The only way he could have his thread stay alive was to make a new NEET lifestyle thread, and so he did.

I will never understand how the normals have the courage (or stupidity) to let a sicko with sharp as fuck scissors get anywhere near their eyes, ears and head.
Never.

Why don't you have your younger sister cut your hair for you, /jp/?

>>9754425
I don't have one, just a bitchy older stepsister
And she can't cut hair

>>9754426
It got deleted the other time because the OP was 3D.

>>9754426
Why does he spam haircuts anyway?
Can one of the IRC shitposters shed some light on this?

>>9754426
Keep the whining on ghost.

>>9754433
Maybe he just wants to talk about it?

>>9754431
He posted a Touhou OP after that. This one is the same, just with "NEET LIFESTYLE" slapped on top.

>>9754435
Several times a day every single day?
I'm just curious why he chose this of all things to spam.

>>9754438
It's not even been an hour since the last haircut thread was created. Calm down your autism

>>9754447
Since the first thread of the day*

>>9754447
Stop being so touchy, people are going to call you out on this, just tell us why you do it.

About a year ago, but my hair grows really slow, so it looks good.

>>9754452
Stop being retarded. There's no reason. The first 2 threads were perfectly fine until you retards started to spam it.

>>9754455
So you're upset that people aren't just going along with it every single time you ask them about their hair?

How many times do you need to ask, are you worried they changed it since the last time you asked 15 minutes ago?

>>9754458
I am upset because you're trying to get this thread deleted with your twisted neo-/jp/ board police mentality.
Get out.

>>9754460
I forgot you were here since 1872, oh please forgive me you're obviously given free range to shit all over the board with your spam since you've been here for over a century now.

>>9754465
I have been here since the split unlike you.

>>9754460
There is a limit to how many times you can make blog threads before people start to get irritated. Even more so if they're the exact same blog thread.

The first one, people don't give a shit because they assume it's going to be a one-time thing and then people will move on until the thread comes back six or eight months later.

>twisted neo-/jp/ board police mentality.
People have been playing police since /jp/ has been around.

>>9754465
Is this what /jp/ has come down to? New users turning against old time lurkers?

>>9754469
You talk as if every one of the created threads that got created in the last hour and got deleted reached 200+ posts before doing so.

>>9754469
neo-/jp/ board police mentality != old-/jp/ board police mentality

>>9754468
And I'm sure you've always been a five star poster just like you are now. What would we ever do without your contribution towards our daily spam quota?

>>9754471
I saw a haircut thread that pretty much ran its course a week or so ago. I assume people got their fill of that topic then. And even if they didn't, who gives a shit? It's not like it was on-topic.

>got deleted
Because it's an off-topic blog thread. There will be more blog threads in the future, you don't need to force this alive this very instant unless you're in dire need of a haircut and it can't wait.

>I like this thread.
>I don't!
>But there are people that do, so could you please leave it for the people that enjoy it?
>NO FUCK YOU
>FUCK YOU
>NO U
>FUCK YOU
>FUCK FUCK FUCK

>>9754472
If anything, "neo-/jp/" leaves random blog threads alone more than "old-/jp/" did. That's not one of the differences.

>>9754476
Who are you quoting?

>>9754474
This is not spam, it is just a single thread dammit.
The other threads that got deleted didn't even push other threads off the board because the board is not full.

>>9754479
I still laugh at how /jp/ doesn't understand what greentext means.

If Touhou was allowed on /a/ or /v/ so I wouldn't have to spend time on a board that imports foreign concepts and then DOES IT WRONG all the time.

Using greentext as a way to "quote" someone's post or thread is just completely wrong and a retarded misuse of a good feature that is so popular in boards like /a/ and /v/. Fuck, /b/ and /sp/ do it right. It's just /jp/ and /jp/'s lame knockoffs that fail at using greentext.

The true meaning of greentext lies in YOUR POST not in others. It's ironic, because you think that you're quoting others while you're just, in fact, quoting yourself. Yes, greentext can be used when ironically posting a derogatory comment about other posts, but posting while just quoting other posts accomplishes nothing but contribute to spamming the board.

The greentext feature was never meant to serve as quote feature! Why people started using it that way is beyond me. There are plenty of reasons why one would choose to use greentext with his reply. For example, bumping threads with stupid one liner replies should be discouraged and those people should be coerced into using greentext to enlarge and enrich their stories instead.

I want to use greentext, yet I almost never do it on /jp/ because people will jump on me thinking I'm quoting their post or something.

>>9754469
>There is a limit to how many times you can make blog threads before people start to get irritated.
No one cares what you think though. NEET lifestyle is allowed as codified rules and is not subject to interpretation. You are in the wrong here.

>>9754485
I care, faggot boi.

>>ONLY TOUHOU SHOULD BE ALLOWED ON /JP/

>>9754480
Please.
Yeah, so long as it's only spammed in one instance at a time, it doesn't count, right? Afterall it's only one thread.

So why did you pick hair?

>>9754482
get a load of this faggot (most likely euro)

>>9754485
Going out to the barbershop isn't even a NEET thing to do. Cut your own damn hair. Saves money and time and you don't have to leave the house and nobody's going to be looking at you anyway.

>codified rules
It's not in the rules. It was only in the sticky, most of which made it into the rules, but not the NEET thread part.

Consider this: A pack of wild Foreigners.
Savage, googly-eyed Foreigners nearing your nippon home. Trampling your nippon tatami. Not raping your nippon daughter.
And you can't do shit since they're savages. The Foreigner leader grabs your computer and installs Unicode-aware programs.
The primal Foreigners finally dominate your household. They watch Western cartoons on TV and you are forced to be their slave.
Such is the downfall of Nipponjin.

>>9754502
>Going out to the barbershop isn't even a NEET thing to do.
Oh, so you're one of those truNEET shitposters?
Good to know.

great thread

I have defeated countless opponents using Aikido, and they always ask me, Why are you so strong?
I answer, I'm not strong, you are.
Aikido uses the strength of the attacker back at them but 10 times stronger(estimate). Using Aikido and I can probably kill a charging Rhino using it's force right back at it, of course, I'm not going to try it, way to dangerous for any sane person.
I recommend practicing Aikido for every /jp/edo, as you are all physically weak, and Aikido is specialized for the weak to defend against the strong.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDnYNroUmNs
A 50 year old man with cerebral palsy doing Aikido, very touching.
Arguably the most powerful martial arts in Japan.
An Aikido practitioner is practically invincible, no one of any martial arts background can ever land a punch or kick on one.
Using the power of the attacker, the Aikido practitioner uses absolutely no energy to knock them down.
A fearsome martial arts it is.

>>9754502
>All images and discussion should pertain to light and visual novels, figures and other otaku paraphernalia, Touhou Project, Vocaloid, doujin works and music, NEET lifestyle, and diverse niche Japanese interests (kigurumi, idols, mahjong, tea).
>NEET lifestyle
But don't trust me, go check yourself!

>>9754510
Only truNEETs allowed on /jp/. Normals GET OUT.

believe you shouldn't underestimate Aikido. Now I know you may be thinking, "Why take a weakling martial art like Aikido seriously when I am learning Kendo?" I can see why you would think that, how can a peaceful martial arts like Aikido beat a powerful one like Kendo?
Well, I have a story to share with you.
Years ago, I was a Kendoka, I thought I was the toughest kid in high school, I would pick fights, and kick ass. I was full of hate, until I picked a fight with the wrong dude. He was a Japanese exchange student, I still remember his name, Noboru Takeda.
I picked on him because of his hilarious and thick Japanese accent. I told him I was going to beat him so hard, he would go back to China(Yeah, I was a little racist prick.), he never said anything back, made me wanted to kick his ass even harder.
Well, here comes the fight. I threw men and do strikes, he dodged them like I was a mere white belt. I was tiring out and he knew, I saw the smirk on his face that made me raged hard. I put all my strength in one amazing tsuki, and he grabbed past it to my wrist and threw me over. My back smacked on the hard cement ground, and I was knocked out for who knows how long.
When I woke up I was in the school infirmary, I asked the nurse who brought me here, and you guessed it, Noboru Takeda. The next day, he wasn't at school, he was back in Japan, and I never got to thank him, for saving my life and showing me the light. I soon learned that he was an Aikidoka and have been practicing Aikido ever since to show my thanks to him.

>>9754517
My god, I can't believe it made it in there.

In-fucking-credible.

You win this round, but I'm emailing moot, because this is retarded.

You're in a fucking NEET thread. "truNEET"ism is its lifeblood, or else it would actually be indistinguishable from the people in /r9k/ whining about how they cannot into job and girlfriend.

>mfw when a yuropeon male wore a thong, called his remote a smibbly bibbly, ate crisps and drank fizzy drink, collected the goop from his cheesedick and put it in a jar, paid high taxes, lost his Zed tile in scrabble, drank tea in delicate flower painted cups, wanked his chap's jibbly with slippy dip, had bad teeth, dove in the grass, digested digestive biscuits, went barmy, had a smoke and a pancake, had a closet full of blue track pants, snogged with his mate, feared the wrath of a queen, called his relative an upsy stairsy, surrendered in war, had scruffy hair, was prudish, felt dickey, said cheerio, ello, and god save the queen, smoked a fag, called his keyboard a hoighty toighty tippy typer, walked his cat on a leash, spent a fortnight in a hostel, used icing sugar, jimmied in the alley, told some one to belt up, sniffed stranger's knickers, ate a lolly, called the internet the inty winty, used a pillar box, was arse over tits drunk, had Tiger nuts, was a soap dodger, spun a yo-yo anti-clockwise, went to the C of E, drank scrumpy, had a beret, was gobsmacked, put on a welly, had some candy floss, was randy, appreciated another male's waistcoat and and bum bag, took a shufti, watched the telly, took a kip, was off his trolley, took a poopy-doo on the tea cup, had a sticking plaster on his knee, called a fan a twirly gust, was rude, waited in a queue, drove in a roundabout, said tootle pip to his mate, wore a bearskin and stood real still, asked me to blow him, shot the chin wag, was arse over elbow over a dishy bloke, wore lederhosen, was a poof, learnt maths, cocked up, identified the primary colours, told someone to bugger off, and drove on the wrong side of the road near me

I'm sure he'll care very much and will regret writing it without consulting you.

Just landing on this thread.

You have a point at NEET lifestyle being /jp/, but this is turning into Blog thread, this could pass unperceived in /r9k/.
This is not being NEET lifestyle anymore.

Janitor can't see this anymore.

>>9754547
>foolz

>>9754551
Janitor not around, apparently.

>>9754549
He's probably not going to regret anything, but he might change it, because NEET lifestyle is not a niche Japanese interest in any way.

>>9754538
TruNEETs are faggot idiots who flip out when someone mentions going to the restroom because TruNEET shit on the floor. They are complete and total shitposters. The line between /r9k/ and /jp/ is not as vague as you thing. If they start whining about girlfriend trouble, they clearly need to go, but getting pissy because someone got a haircut is just stupid. It's even stupider to say that NEET don't do that. It's not quite as stupid as the offboarders who complain about `being a total hikki' because they just stood around at a party and didn't get drunk, but it's close.

>>9754547
The last successful haircut thread was made in February

>>9754382
Historical linguistics major here.

No, "barber" comes from the Latin word for "beard", while "barbarian" comes from the Greek onomatopoeia for nonsensical babbling. The word developed because Greeks thought other peoples' languages were less developed than theirs, and so were little better than babbling. Perhaps we could say that, directly translated, barbarian means "blah blah people"

>>9754565
He won't. Getting in there was a huge issue that took up several hundred posts when the /q/ threads were constantly active. It would start a huge shitstorm to remove them and he'd rather just piss you off than deal with it. Even if he did agree with you, it would take him 5 years to change it anyway.

I also don't see why you care so much. The subjects are easily filtered.

FUCK OFF TO >>>/q/
We have been full of meta shit today, fuck off and stop ruining MY board.

>>9754584
This is not YOUR board asshole.

>>9754412
my hair is naturally very curly so growing it out would just give me a huge hairball. straightening it every day would be too much of a pain as well.

>>9754577
It took two hundred posts to establish the rules and another two thousand because some troll decided to throw a party in /q/.

>>9754566
You can have as many haircuts as you damn well like, I don't give a shit. But it's not a "NEET thing," and you shouldn't feel entitled to make threads about haircuts because it's a "NEET thread."

>>9754586
It is. Frig off.

Is 1500mg of sodium too much? I feel really shitty, and I think it's the ramen fucking up my heart. Yotsuba says you should only eat it a couple times a week, but I eat it fr every meal that isn't rice. Am I going to have a heart attack?

>>9754577
>I also don't see why you care so much.
I can see that.

>>9754592
>You can have as many haircuts as you damn well like, I don't give a shit. But it's not a "NEET thing," and you shouldn't feel entitled to make threads about haircuts because it's a "NEET thread."
I wasn't addressing that specifically. I was talking about the bullshit TruNEET people who constantly try to out-do each other in ridiculous behavior.

The euro's been acting really fucking weird today. Why did the Europeans make me lose 300$?

>>9754608
That's what you get for trying to be a jew.

>>9754616
I just wanted to make some money because my parents said that if I want to live here after I turn 24, I have to pay rent.

Is that really so bad? Besides, it's just a practice account.

>>9754622
It's not bad, I just hate it irrationally.

>>9754608
Try the AUD/USD, it's usually pretty predictable. Stay away from USD/JPY. That Nips all collaborate on strategy and set their Stop\Loss at the same rates, so if it hits, say, 78.00, then billions of automated trades are made, negating the trend.

But I like my long hair and I would enjoy mama Ran brushing it.

I like when my momma brushes my hair, she doesn't do it often.

yo wats up jp

>>9754735

yo

>>9754595

That is a lot of sodium. Make sure to drink lots of water if you are going to continue eating ramen.

My suggestion is that you eat oatmeal instead of ramen.

I went to a barber 3 and a half years ago, haven't cut my hair since.

>>9754722
How can you have long hair and enjoy brushing it or getting it brushed?
It's like the worst thing ever. Even worse if someone else does it.

NEET is so controversial around /jp/. seems like one specific group can't handle these threads and would prefer endless touhou threads instead.

Did you guys ever play with dolls as kid? When I was around 5 or 6, I would play dolls with my older cousin, she was around 9 or 10. I really liked it until one day, a male cousin of mine said "aren't you a boy?" and I never had the thought again. Now, I collect figma and statues of my favorite characters.

>>9754371
>When was the last time you got a haircut /jp/?
July for Otakon.

>>9755598
Good for you for not being brainwashed by the man into his corrupt gender theory.

>>9754907
As for me, the actual act of brushing it isn't much, but the end result is more than worth the few minutes.

>>9754371

I hate truNEET shitposters.
They make it so that I can't fit in anywhere due to my low-paying part time employment.Now even on /jp/ I'm an outcast. And I get enough of that shit offline.

Thanks a lot, dicks.

Why can't the threads just be about the actual lifestyles we live and not our employment/education status?

>>9755725
B-but my shitposting!

>>9755718
Maybe you should go to /a/.

>>9755734
But that's the shittiest board of all.

>>9755740
Back to /b/.

>>9755725
I don't know. This really annoys me. These threads are for discussion of NEET lifestyles, yet most of the posts have something to do with employment or education.

Where are NEETs supposed to discuss things if their threads are overrun with shitposters talking about education and employment? Why can't the latter group of people go talk about that stuff on /a/b/v/r9k/?

Begun the antiNEET uprising has

>>9755725
>>9755747
because nobody wants to talk about our lifestyles with me >>9755598

>>9755747
You misunderstood the post.
I'm asking why all /jp/sies can't participate in these threads regardless of employment and education.
Because those 2 factors aside, the lifestyle is mostly the same. Just because somebody has employment or education, doesn't make them a normal by default.

>>9755747
>Why can't the latter group of people go talk about that stuff on /a/b/v/r9k/?
They can't. It's an universal law and you'll just have to adjust. It's also the reason why NEET threads are a bad idea.

>>9755747
There are no prerequisites towards posting in a thread.

>>9755760
>I'm asking why all /jp/sies can't participate in these threads regardless of employment and education.
because it's a fucking NEET thread

>>9755764
>It's also the reason why NEET threads are a bad idea.
No they aren't.

>>9755770
They're not a good idea, either.

Smoke some week and calm down my chill brothers ;)

>>9755768
And what alternatives are there for people who currently aren't NEETs? Any other non-NEET threads would get redirected to /soc/.

And that board is worse than the 8th layer of hell.

I cut and style my own hair. I'm very good at it.

>It's also the reason why NEET threads are a bad idea.
Why? If we weren't trolling\being trolled here, we'd just be doing it in some other thread. This is 4chan, don't take it so seriously.

I cut my own hair. I bought a $20 Wahl trimmer and it's great! I don't have to go outside and deal with a hair stylist nor do I have to pay for a haircut. It's the only way to get a Hitler Youth(TM)! It's not like it's hard to do or anything. truNEETs cut their own hair.
