>Sure, I'm a squirrelly guy. Spent most of my life fighting the call to climb lightposts, get naked in public, argue with bugs, or become a street preacher among other things.
My own intrusive thoughts tend to not be the impulsive kind. The one I've been struggling with is the idea of going bald. My hairline receded a bit in my '20s but still looks pretty good, and I'd say my family members seem to fare better than average when it comes to that sort of thing. What scares me is that I can't seem to let it go even though I know it's irrational. I keep perceiving it in the present. I really don't know why I'm having these thoughts. I'd say part of it has to do with my own vanity. I've always wanted to look really attractive, and losing my hair would ruin my appearance and make me feel completely powerless. It's not even just a social approval thing or just about being attractive to other people, since even if I were isolated I'd still like to love what I see in the mirror. If I could choose between being instantly handed a million dollars and having my dream appearance, I'd pick the second one in a heartbeat.

Lately I've been using trying to release my feelings using methods described by authors like Frederick Dodson (who I think largely took his material from other authors like Lester Levenson). The thoughts are persisting, but I have felt some relief. We'll see how it go

>>1895
Ah gotcha, yes; good news is that the professionals have entire industries based on looking our best, from hair systems, to chems... a few options to stave off hair situations. Shouldn't be an issue if you set aside some money to get it done.

>>1899
I'm not even balding or anything. My hairline receded a bit in my 20s but stopped at the "mature hairline" stage. I'm actually very lucky. I see people my age or even younger who have aged much worse than I have. I just have an irrational fear that popped into my head seemingly out of nowhere and have had trouble shaking off. I think it might be gradually getting better now, but it's had me panicking.

I'm hoping that all the longevity research that's starting to take off will prove fruitful in the long run as far as being able to keep people looking young and even reverse aging. It might be my tinfoil hat side speaking, but it wouldn't surprise me very much if the theoretical knowledge was out there given all the rumors about suppressed breakthrough energy technologies and Cold War anti-gravity research programs.

Also I believe that within a few years the positive ET's are arriving physically openly on Earth and technologies for this stuff will be released (maybe not right away but they will be)

>Did you not read the whole thread? Did you not see this book?
I'd definitely seen that in here when I'd gone through the thread before but had forgotten about it. Thanks, I'll take a look.
>Also I believe that within a few years the positive ET's are arriving physically openly on Earth and technologies for this stuff will be released (maybe not right away but they will be)
I sincerely hope that's true, but I don't know what to believe. There have been so many failed predictions in the past, and I find it really hard to tell what's truly going on with the UFO phenomenon due to all the disinfo and the bizarre nature of the phenomenon itself.

I was rewatching the famous Chun Li vs Vega scene from the Street Fighter 2 Animated Movie, and with all the censorship gone ("you witch" vs "you bitch") I was able to appreciate it fully. The original Japanese audio makes the scene into a more traditional martial arts fight scene where Chun and Vega fight while soft music plays, but I think the English dub is superior for using the track Ultra by KMFDM. I finally got around to exploring their music more and I've really been enjoying it; they have this odd but appealing mix of heavy industrial beats and vocals that makes me feels like I'm listening to instruments made of out of factory equipment that smells like diesel.

Rencontrer les gens IRL ne se fait pas comme ça. Il faut avoir des prétextes : un club, une association... Puis c'est pas dit que ce seront des fréquentations qui iront plus loin que cet espace défini surtout.
Moi j'ai gardé 2 amis de jeunesse, on ne se voit pas souvent parce que la vie nous a dispersés mais je ne cours pas après de nouvelles amitiés.
Faire des rencontres en ligne ne m'a jamais intéressé au delà du simple blablatage avec des inconnus au détour d'un forum.
J'ai toujours été solitaire et heureux de l'être, surtout en grandissant. D'ailleurs quand des gens m'adressent la parole je préfère m'esquiver poliment parce que ça me soûle de bavarder pour rien même si parfois tu peux avoir des bons échanges avec des randoms.

>desole pas trop envie de m'etaler sur ici xd
Ces sujets "niche" prennent beaucoup trop de place dans ta vie, au point que tu n'as pas d'autre sujet de discussion ou d'intérêt à partager.
Si tu voulais vraiment changer cela, je te conseillerais de faire le vide pendant deux semaines, totalement déconnecté, et de faire le strict minimum - manger, méditer, dormir - pour permettre à ton cerveau de rebooter.
Mais je ne pense pas que tu aies envie de, ni que tu sois prêt à, te connecter aux autres de quelque manière que ce soit.

En essayant de discuter de sujets qui m'intéressent, je me rends compte que je m'en fiche vraiment.  Beaucoup d'hommes ne sont pas différents de moi et moi d'eux.  Je suis fait de paille et d'argile, les autistes sont de la paille et de l'argile, tout le monde est une paille et de l'argile.  Vous et moi sommes contraints par la mesquinerie et les bagatelles.  Les veines de ce monde sont des tuyaux d'égout gargouillant de la merde, de la pisse et du sperme.

>je reste assez silencieux
C'est pas grave ça, en général je suis assez taiseux mais je sais aussi avoir de la répartie et chopper une balle au vol quand il y a moyen de placer un bon mot. C'est le plus important mais c'est une question d'aisance sociale et avant tout de confiance en soi. Ça se travaille, c'est surtout une histoire de disposition mentale.
>j'ai quelque amis en ligne meme si ca m'arrive de me dire qu'il faut que je coupe contact avec
C'est sûr que s'ils ne t'apportent rien de bon, comme le dit l'adage : il vaut mieux être seul que mal accompagné. J'ai beaucoup avancé dans ma vie quand je me suisrendu compte qu'il valait mieux tracer sa route seul qu'entouré par des gens qui te tirent vers le bas. Non pas qu'ils le fassent avec préméditation mais parce que les cercles dans lesquels vous gravitez sont mauvais (drogue, déviances...) Mais pareil c'est un exercice mental.

>>2200 à raison, il faut savoir s'intéresser, du moins porter une certaine attention à des sujets qui nous échappent en premier lieu. Il peut en ressortir des discussions très intéressantes et enrichissantes. Ne serait-ce que pour le plaisir de s'ouvrir au monde.
Une petite session d'ermitage ne fait jamais de mal non plus, ça permet de te recentrer et de faire un peu le tri dans ton esprit.

What do you mean colon? The straps? I think I like the more smooth-looking style better. I think it contrasts nicely with the texture of the bag.

Good luck on the bag. I tried to get into sewing once but didn't have the passion to follow through and actually stick with it. I wood have liked to have made myself a shrimple jacket, but I think it wood have taken me a long time to get that good.

I'd like to see how the bag turns out when you're done.

>>14301
i thought those were called colons in english. 
You like the one already strapped on, right. If there isn't any complications  or any other opinions today i will sew it in place.

>>14297 (OP) 
It's berry bretty anon. The only sewing I do is when I need to replace buttons and roughly patch snags.
>>14303
It looks good for me.

>>14305
It is decided that i will sew in the shiny strap will be sewn on the bag, i thought about sewing it tonight(which is right now) but now i remember that my sewing machine is berry loud soo i can't work with it at 11pm.
I will sew it tomorrow and maybe post again with other ideas i have. I should definitely sew some pockets for my phone but i don't want to feature creep like i have done with my earlier bag.

>>14307
I had some issues with my sewing machine today but i fixed it just now, but it is late once again, tomorrow i will post a image of the thing.

As it is written, ‘There is none righteous, no, not one.' For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

>That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. - Paul the Apostle, Romans 10:9-13, KJV

Anyway terrariums are really comfy.

My primary issue with the robowaifu movement is that it seems to be entirely based in fantasy. The few autists working on it here are unlikely to make any real developments in consumer automata, and even if they did produce an acceptably dexterous (capable of moving arms, walking, limited bending, etc.) nandroid, it is incredibly unlikely that society would allow men to get ahold of them. Conservacucks would decry moral degradation (lol, lmao even), and of course revolutionaries would be against it regardless. In any case, I think we all know that robot women won't bring us the same satisfaction as "saving them". Alas, it is a good cope.

Tout gentil ayant vécu avec eux pendant quelques mois finit par devenir antisémite, même inconsciemment. C'est un fait : les juifs sont des accélérateurs de dégénérescence. Nul ne sait pourquoi ils sont aussi mauvais. Est-ce leur religion ? Leur génétique ? La circoncision au 8e jour ? Mystère. Mais tout porte à croire que c'est une engeance absolument démoniaque.

Pour autant, faut-il les blâmer pour l'état de notre monde actuel ? Je ne pense pas. En Europe, le ver était déjà dans le fruit quand leur domination à commencé : le matérialisme et l'individualisme faisaient leur chemin dans les esprits alors même que les juifs étaient encore interdits de séjour en France sous l'ancien régime. Le divorce et l'avortement étaient déjà pratiqués avant les lois Naquet et Weil. Les sciences positives, alimentées par les naturalistes blancs et chrétiens, travaillaient à faire disparaître l'essence divine de l'homme pour faire place à l'homme machine, esclave de stimuli et processus biologiques chaotiques, né du hasard et mourant vers le néant, sans autre but ici-bas que jouir et posséder, alors que les juifs étaient encore cantonnés dans leurs ghettos. 
Alors oui, aujourd'hui ils ont des acteurs de premier plan dans la destruction de notre civilisation, mais par notre apathie et notre embourgeoisement nous sommes les premiers responsables de leur main-mise et leur impunité sous nos latitudes.

The artist behind Studio Tanuki who made Bunny Maloney (AKA Pinpin Le Lapin, AKA Lupin III if he were a horny French rabbit guy) has made a new website:
https://studiotanuki.com/

There was a pretty big resurgence in Bunny Maloney interest from some viral video essays a year and a half ago, so the creator has been trying to ride that wave. He's quite active on Twitter and Bluesky, mostly Twitter, and he's been trying to contact the networks to ask if they can take the hard drives with the lost episodes out of storage, or to otherwise confirm who actually owns the series and what can be done with it.

How about the Silverstone FLP02? A modern computer case that is not the exact copy of any single 90s design, but I think it wouldn't look out of place in a lineup of workstations from that era. It doesn't come with triple 5.25" floppy drives though, those are just panels. Still, the bays are real, so you could put in actual old school drives. And it's an ATX case, therefore you could even mount genuine 90s hardware inside, not that it would be a sensible choice.

It's a mash-up of elements from most of the series with some new stuff on top of it and done with a look based on Tiberian Dawn and the original Red Alert. While it looks more modern than those games, it's kind of like looking into an alternate version of the 2000s where the series never adopted voxel-based graphics or went 3D.

I've know about it for a long time but only started playing it last year. This might sound blasphemous, but for regular matches I actually prefer it over the original games. Not only does it have  subfactions with unique units like how Red Alert 2 implemented them, but it builds on it by also allowing you to choose between specific in-game doctrine choices. There's also a research system that in some cases even allows for stackable upgrades. The Iraqis, for example, can upgrade their Mammoth tanks to Desolator tanks. If they choose the armor path, they're given the choice to upgrade Mammoths to Apocalypse tanks. If they research both upgrades, they can build Apocalypse Desolators. Playable factions include the GDI, Nod, and Scrin from the Tiberian universe and the Allies and

Social media is probably a better bet for online friends, and this is probably the first and only time I have ever recommended this. Otherwise hobbies lend themselves well to exchanging info and I have done that myself in the past.

There is a matter of different conditioning tough. Years on image boards change you, which also depends on which exactly you have been visiting. If you are a four chan lover, then probably social media for you will be just a matter of getting used to. But for people who spent their years sticking to obscure and quiet communities, avoiding any big or shitty sites, social media is very hard, because people there have such a different view of things. And it could be overcome, if you didn't have to constantly remind yourself just how much spying modern social media do. It's like going into the most crowded place in a megalopolis, full of cameras. At this point you might not even know how to approach the thing and find somebody you can be comfortable with.

It's a lost cause for someone like me to try and fit in with the normalfag world. I don't even have what it takes to keep any kind of friendship alive.

I have real friends and i have internet friends, if forced to choose i would choose internet friends anytime the reason is 'interest in hobbies'.

I had many issues with real friends about hobbies, they are never into it as much as they say they are. There are many bad stories but the hardest hitting was going hiking with a guy that liked hiking and when we get there, he just stared at his phone. 

Internet people usually are more invested in their hobbies than real people, even if that hobby is very internet unfriendly like cars. You can expect a car guy on the internet to know what his cars engine code is but with a 'bmw guy' irl, you are lucky if they know what their car is actually called. i knew 3 bmw guys that didn't know their cars model code, 2 of them owned a e36 and another had a e21 , the e21 one thought he had a e30 and i thought soo too until he showed a picture of his car. This issues gets more pronaunced more nerd a hobby gets. You have no idea how little a guy irl can know about computers and still think he is into computers. 

Conmans and conwomans are far more active irl, they don't even know they are, they genuinely think they are very good at the hobby and they can talk like they actually do, and if they talk good enough other people do too. The more realish the place the less interested they become. (I joined a ||discord server for faggots|| where people poste

I get what you mean. I've always had problems finding people I share interests with. I was really into video games growing up, which you'd think would have been something easy to bond with other people over, but it was more than a simple pastime for me. I was constantly on the Internet reading about them and looking for different ones to play and even reading books about them. Most of the people I grew up around had a much more casual interest. It didn't help that I've always gravitated toward PC games more than anything (although I was definitely interested in console games growing up too). 

I'm not as into video games as I used to be, but that pattern seems to have held true with other things I'm interested in. I remember in high school there was a classmate of mine who mentioned being interested in movies once, but I brought up Plan 9 from Outer Space at one point and I'm not sure he was even familiar with what I was talking about. He made some comment about not liking sci-fi movies, which I think he might have just intuited based on the title, and from what I recall he almost seemed irritated. I can definitely understand not having watched it (I don't know if I even had at that time), but you'd think someone claiming to be into movies would at least know of its notoriety. It doesn't seem to matter what the hobby or interest is. The more knowledgeable or passionate you are about something, the fewer p
