It's called Destroy Dick December IIRC, and nah.
Yes, this is a new list identical to my old one. I got grinched last thread. My own fault for not grinchproofing it properly and believing the Amazon bots. I have the sneaking suspicion that I was legit mistaken for a foid, because someone was reeaaaal~ proud of himself for grinching a foid's whole list.

https://voca.ro/1dRysp3QHjlu

3 damn hours on the phone with Amazon customer service. You have no idea the sensation of relief I felt when I heard a palpably Australian accent on the other end. You really do have to do what the thread bake says and be insistent and reroll if you get another bot or run up against a wall or whatever. Deadass just repeat yourself and be like "I NEED TO SPEAK TO THE RE-GI-STRIES DE-PART-MENT" like 29 times over the course of a morning while listening to upbeat on-hold music. It's what has to be done. At this point I have verbal confirmation from them that "Buying this elsewhere?" was disenabled, so if it's *still* grinchable... I dunno man.


>>83436740
This year feels like Autumn never really came. Even the trees, it seems, tentatively considered shedding their leaves, and then just didn't. Like a long, tepid summer. There really is something to the quiet muffling of the snow that makes winter feel Christmasy.

Physical media beats all for collections, but I'm not gonna lie, for stuff like animation or drawing I can't imagine going back to straight physical. Imagine sitting there with a lightbox, a sharpener, dozens of sheets of paper, tools for drawing straight lines, magnifying glass, etc. and doing the flippy flippy thing all day amidst STACKS of hundreds of frames of near-identical drawings. Isn't it nice to be able to correct mistakes instantly? To duplicate layers? To erase anything you drew with? To move layers around? To have 200+ layers off to the side of your screen instead of 200 sheets of paper in the corner? To instantly save images and make them into a gif at any framerate? To have your brushes there with a tap instead of having to go through your pencil bag and stab yourself with a compass? To be able to have number values assigned to color instead of having to just eyeball it? To have tricks of digital art that feel like cheating? Why would anyone want to go back unless it's insistence upon a particular medium (claymation, hand-drawn, etc.)? Unless you just LIKE the grit of chalk all over yourself and having to fuck with paint and primer and shit or something about the process itself I don't get it.

those tablets look awesome, but im just a hobbyist. i feel like those pricey tablets are more geared towards professional artists or more serious artists, than a guy that draws here and thee like me. like i said im an autismo for physical tangible media, feels like i really own it or created it. nonetheless digital artist are as talented as analog artists. i do see the benefits of digital way easier to fix mistakes and it is a tidier and cleaner experience. maybe if i really get into art like i once was id give digital a shot but lack of time and other hobbies have ate up the time i once had for creating art, i am trying to make it my main hobby again.

>>83439195
Sometimes it's better to keep things as a hobby and not get too serious about it. Feels like it might turn some hobbies into a chore and kill the fun you experience from it. That's how I think anyway, others I'm sure feel the opposite.

Even the best tech doesn't feel as good as drawing with something physical, digital STILL has a disconnect, a slight lag or it feels like youre drawing with a sheet of ice between you and the page. I know a lot of pros who will use digital for whatever the final project is, but for planning, process or just themselves will draw traditionally. I even know some who just scan things in at the end and then adjust the colours before posting.
Also if you look on twitter or insta or whatever, if something is drawn traditionally it gets like a 20% buff to likes. People LIKE seeing pens and pencils and things on paper. Even more so now that AI slop is flooding everything everywhere.

>>83439620
Tourists and crowds suck ass. Even going to simple places like the zoo or an aquarium, I make sure I go during school time, and then hope they don't have a field trip there. Really helps cut down on the people and I can more leisurely take my time seeing everything.
>Even the best tech doesn't feel as good as drawing with something physical
What if you did a middle ground where you scan it and draw digitally for things not as important, corrections, etc.? Kinda shoot for the best of both world's situation.

Oh boy, 5 days until the big day and I was hoping to be contacted by a grocery store a week ago. I hope you guys are staying warm and doing good. I have to go with family on a 3 hour drive to visit my aunt, and I'll probably be forced to spend the night down there. If I was working I probably could've stayed home, but I have no good excuse right now.

I guess I'll catch up on sleep in the car, and hopefully she has wifi because I don't think I can phonepost. Wish me luck.

So far their honey seems to be the best overall. Other honeys are more appealing to my senses but they cost a lot more. Some are only sold in low quantities too, so you can't even reduce the cost per pound by buying in bulk. I got an email back from the amish honey guys today and I was right to be suspicious. They do in fact store their honey without air conditioning in a barn after harvesting it, which likely gets very hot in the summer. They're in California and Pennsylvania

No. I've only had Pure Southern Honey, Wee Bee Honey, and White Gold Honey. So far I've emailed 51 honey producers asking about their honey. Amish honey in general is probably mostly fine since some of it is harvested in the spring and fall. I also don't know how long their average honey is stored in a barn before being sold to customers. The degree of heat and length of exposure to it make a big difference. That being said, the particular Amish honey I was looking at is very expensive. There are cheaper honeys that I'm much more confident in. One good thing about this Amish honey is that they have a ton of different varieties that are hard to find elsewhere. It seems like most honeys are made with clover, alfalfa, orange blossom, and local wildflowers

>>83441574
Living near the Amish seems like it would be great. They sell real food, furniture, and some you can even hire to build things like houses or additions.

I really like their courtship laws. Even when dating, you're not allowed alone in a room with your bf/gf. When you are allowed to lay in bed together, you have to be separated by a barrier in-between or have an Amish elder/leader to watch over so no touching happens.

I'm glad to see the thread is back this year! I was horrified when they disappeared last year. I love lurking in them and reading anons' lists. I'm only sad I didn't think to check until today, I might have even been able to gift something cheap if I had been here in november, next year! I still plan to lurk and maybe chat a little. Hope you all are having happy holidays so far. I bought myself astro bot for Christmas around thanksgiving and I platinum'ed it like a week later. Absolutely incredible. I pirated Clair obscur and finished act 1 and the game is not for me, the combat is not nearly fun enough to justify the terrible pacing. Again happy holidays everyone!

Every year, once it hits November 1st, I search r9k for ssg. I'm here every year, even though it has gotten less participation every year for 5 years now. You should hang around and chat with us if you have something to say.

Well, it's time for me to get some sleep. 5 days until Christmas and I had another great day with everyone. When I wake up tomorrow, maybe I'll be rich and the future Super Santa. Need some Christmas magic for it to happen, but you never know. Hope everyone has a great rest of your day/night. I'll be back up for a bit before watching some classic Christmas movies, so keep things active. As always, I need everyone to stay comfy, healthy, and festive.

I haven't worked in almost a year after my back injury. I have enough money for a couple years then I have no clue what the fuck I'll do. What kind of jobs do disabled folks even do? I can't do anything physical like lifting or bending. I'm getting my GED to go to college but fuck, I don't think I'll be able to make it in college, I haven't touched a math book in a decade, and will be going for a civ engineering degree. Wish me luck, bros, because if this doesn't work I'll put a bullet through my skull.

You're the Anon with the back injury, right? This is important enough that I want to answer you with deliberation rather than flippantly. This is gonna come across as cliche, but you really do have to find something to live for.
What do you do when you're procrastinating or dicking off the stuff you *should* be doing? That's what makes your soul resonate. My thinking is that you should look into that. If civil engineering truly appeals to you in that way, then go for it. But if not, or if you're going for it for the money, or the prestige, or to do something with yourself, or to make something of your intelligence, the don't. Use that money you have to last you a few years and start soul-searching now rather than multiple years into pursuing something you won't want to see through. Stop and look around now, without even the noise of looking for a new job. Just be. Find what truly vibes with YOU, and pursue that unashamedly.
Civil engineering is a professional degree, no? You're thinking of pursuing a tough-to-obtain degree that there will be stiff competition for, and of doing so with the tremendous disadvantage of your back injury, and to do it while competing with a cohort of students from around the world who don't have back injuries, with the condition that if you fail you die. Not a good plan. Professional degrees, like law and medicine and engineering, are not simply a matter of mastering the material. By their very nature (curves, limited seating, etc.), they are competitions, and the competitors with advantages aren't always the brainy ones.

You can get weeded out because the class tacitly assumes you don't have to work or feed yourself. You can get weeded out because everyone else has a meal plan, a car, clean clothes, and Daddy's credit card while you're broke, hungry, and living off campus. You can get weeded out because the people you're being curved against had the luxury of being placed in a dorm full of insomniac scholars while you got roomed with Boozehound Brad.

You're not all taking the same test. That'd be like saying "Everyone has to do the same 20 pushups" but a tiny group gets to use preworkout and their time and one guy gets singled out to get kicked in the ribs 14 times during the pushups and has a time limit. Just because you're as strong as the others doesn't mean you'll be able to win this pushup competition. It's rigged. It's rigged, and you have a disadvantage that will rob you of your focus during the acts of SITTING and STANDING. A spinal injury will affect how you get around campus. It will cause you to expend mental energy, which your competitors do not have to expend, just to get around, eat, rest, take a shit, etc. Your test grades will be curved against the grades of dudes who have the luxury of an intact body that actually feels good to inhabit.

The damage that your shell has sustained is such that it will affect things people take for granted. Shit like leaning forward to look at a screen. Don't stake your life on something like being a civil engineer. You're perfectly worthwhile with or without whatever title some institution wants to give you in recognition of it.
I believe that you're smart enough to be a civil engineer, or at least to learn the academic material necessary to qualify you for such. But getting a professional degree tests things apart from smarts, or draws upon things apart from smarts, things like finances and free time and the vigor of a human body, in its 20s, still able to pull all-nighters.
I'm not saying this to discourage you or to be a dick. I just would hate the idea of you basically being graded poorly for having a broken back (which is what it would amount to, in the same way that kids with shit home lives are technically, but not explicitly, graded poorly for having poor living situations) and thinking that they're grading your academic ability. They're not. Don't leave your life in the hands of some institution that would be happy to accept your money and then not give you support while actively working to disadvantage and weed you out. They do it to all the "nontraditional students," and you would be one. I'd hate for you to stake everything on this only to find that you've softlocked yourself. Breathe.
You need to find something worthwhile to you. Something you'd die for. I think of how Togashi, the author of Yu Yu Hakusho and HxH, also has a fucked-up back and has to draw lying on his back, or how people variously starve or destroy themselves for their art. (Even people who love art hate and suffer through the shitty parts of art.) There's no path ahead that doesn't involve suffering. The suffering has to be worth it.

Also, you don't really need a plan that covers you for the rest of your life. Find something that makes you think about sticking around for just a year or two, and then do it again. Don't think you have to find something that makes 50 years of suck worth it. Find something that makes waking up tomorrow worth it, and then find that again.
It really doesn't matter what it is, either. It could be watching cartoons or painting or making fucking beats to listen to or whatever. If it keeps that bullet out of you, it's something precious. And just so we're clear, it should be a selfish decision. You shouldn't be making decisions like this to please anyone else or prove yourself to them. You owe them nothing.

It gave me fucked-up dreams, too. I dreamt that my dad was the dad from Malcolm In The Middle and that there was some kind of threat in the neighborhood that I had to handle myself because Malcolm's dad was standing outside chumming it up with the cops while it happened. They just stood there and had "dad talk" or "bro talk" going back and forth about guns while shit went down. I can barely remember the rest of it but I'm pretty sure I had to kill the Night Stalker with a handgun while Hal was out front laughing and talking about dad stuff and guns with the cops, who were just doing dad talk back and chumming it up. It was actually a super-anxious and cynical feeling dream and I woke up feeling like "Fuck, my brain does not feel secure about SHIT." Then I blew up the bathroom.
Point was, I went to bed with hiccups and heartburn. Basically used the unconsciousness of sleep as my emergency exit for having to experience indigestion. Ugh. It actually did mess with my dreams. I thought that was just a trope people mentioned in books and movies. As I sat there, my stomach gurgling like a cauldron, my mind kept repeating that line of Scrooge's from A Christmas Carol:

>>It's honestly insane how a single screwdriver, or the lack thereof, can cause a task to stall out for weeks. You look at the last screw you need to twist. It has a fucking pentahead. Fuck. FUCK. You consider using a really tiny flathead, putting it between two of the grooves, and trying to get a bite anyway. That screw hasn't rotated since 1996. It doesn't budge. You look online. The tool you need won't be here today even if you order it now. FUCK. You try to use the wrong screwdriver again. This time, you manage to eat away so much of the screwhead that it can't be bitten at all anymore. *FUCK*
Yeah, I remember this happening when I had to figure out how to open my CPU case. Tools are lifesavers. I have no idea why boomers outsource every issue to other people instead of making us do it, it used to be more common to get kids to do basic tasks like working on the home. Only farmers get their kids to do that still from my belief.

>>83446840
>I have no idea why boomers outsource every issue to other people instead of making us do it
I think this was more because from 1980 to 1995 they passed a bunch of child related acts, which gave police and CPS broader power if called to take action against parents.

LMAOOO, bro, you know what's funny? I didn't pull that scenario out of nowhere. I spent the last week with like half a dismantled CPU just sitting in my room.
It makes me think of how screwed (pun not intended but possibly not coincidental given my subconscious) we'd be if one generation of people stopped knowing how to make tools. Or the machines that machine the tools. You kinda just assume your dad or whoever has the right tool lying around, but like 9 Philips heads later you're like "oh shit, I'm glad nobody's life depended on this."
And now you have to figure out how to remove a screw with a head that you basically hand-machined the fuck off.

4chan was mainstream-enough for middle schoolers to tell middle schoolers about it through word-of-mouth in 2008. /b/ already had a mythologized front-facing reputation as le super seecrit hacker lulzy club with memes. There were already YouTubers mentioning it. Even the golden age I'm nostalgic for was already 4chan being leaked and compromised to a bunch of newfags. Namely, me. It already wasn't a secret club. Even the days of caramelldansen, of YouTube poops, of longcat and Osaka and DESU DESU DESU, were already the days of OG 4chan being gone.
As for /r9k/, it is what reddit often clwims to be. It's the front-facing end of the jnternet and culture. Or it was for a minute. Look at how many neologisms this place and places adjacent to it spawned. The effect this place has had on the world's consciousness at large is insane.

>>83446945
To be fair, instead of most things using phillips head or flathead screws, they should use torx-style screws (aka jew screws), just because they're far less likely to strip and you get better torque. The problem is, then you need to buy a set of torx screwdrivers or bits.

Fuck, if anyone ever forgot about how to make tools, we would be screwed for generations ahead. Atleast we probably still have the textbooks to help.

>>83447157
Is there a reason why TV was so influential on boomers compared to millennials? There are books written on this

>>83447171
Because the internet didn't exsit. So they got brainwashed by zog into believing whatever they're told.

>>83447171
Pretty much every household had a TV when boomers were born. 75% had one in the 50s and by 1970 it was 95%. They grew up on TV & newspaper news. Millennials had other shit to spend their time doing since video games hit their peak, VHS & DVD movies were skyrocketing, and they had a fuckton more channels that weren't just hours and hours of the news across <10 channels.

my GPU from the 2010's finally fucking exploded and I think I can pinpoint EXACTLY when it happened, because I was watching a super high-fidelity AI render on YT with like a million moving multicolored parts and my dumb ass was like, "Oh, let's put this in HD" and that was the EXACT moment the fucker stuttered and basically caught flame. My immersive VR experience ended right the fuck there. I am currently running a keyboard with half the keys working plugged into a laptop with the other half the keys working plugged into an iHome from 2009 as a speaker system.

>>83447171
I dunno but frankly I am flabbergasted at it. Really add up how much time people from those generations in your life spend consuming totally passive media. Younger generations spend plenty of time looking at screens, too, but it's different. The nature of social media and video games and streaming is interactive. You play with it. It talks back. It challenges you. You affect it.
No, really. Actually add it up. You guys live with them, or around them, right? How much time do they spend just watching TV or movies? Actually add up the hours. Do it and really let that sink in.

Morning frens, I'm happy I called my local Taco Bell to see if they were reopened finally bc they had a big renovation done that I THINK took out the KFC from it and they said they're open again so I know what I'm doing for lunch later. Shaping up to be a decent day and still hoping this coming week will be easier at work because truck drivers and warehouses don't want to do shit around Christmas and New Years

Anons im thinking of improvising a lockable journal myself. Really don't want my parents to read it as a NEET

Taco Bell is like my favorite fast food place off the bat even before I became a vegetarian but it's doubly good now because they let you sub out meat for beans on pretty much anything to make it veg friendly. My regular go-to meals are either the Mexican Pizza combo or the chicken chalupa combo (subbing the meat on both for black or refried beans depending on my mood), a side of cheesy fiesta potatoes or nacho fries, and either a baja blast or an unsweet tea (with no ice of course) to drink. My hack with the unsweet tea is that when I take it home I squeeze half a lemon into it, cut the squeezed half into a couple chunks (minus the peel) and throw it into the tea as well and then I'll leave it in my fridge overnight so I have a nice lemon tea to bring to work in the morning. Every once in a while I will try out their special items too, I'm a pretty big fan of the cheesy gordita crunch when it comes back among other things although there's the eternal joke about how everything Taco Bell does is the same 4 base ingredients served a different way kek

I think maybe the Taco Bell franchises in town just don't give a fuck and cross-contaminate a lot. It's a shame. In the city where I went to college, Taco Bell was perfect late-night fare for herbivorous folk like myself. Now I'm stuck looking sideways at a fucking fiesta bean and rice. I really think it is just these Taco Bells.

>>83447960
There's a shitload of veggies on /r9k/, most of whom self-consciously and sheepishly avoid self-announcing it to avoid being THAT guy and perpetuating the stereotype. They largely scroll right past the vegan ragebait debate threads. Realistically, though, not only are you not alone, your cohorts here likely represent vegetarianism in a substantially higher proportion than a sampling of the general population would.
We are herbivore males, after all.

Yeah, I've been going strong for almost a decade at this point I think. Watched one too many videos of the abuse going on in factory farms and had enough. I don't even miss meat anymore, but I do miss seafood once in a while

>gacha roll on whether I get food I can eat or not
I have been fucked over at least three times over the past decade specifically by specifically the night shift people at my local place (I usually only go there during daytime and that shift is good every time). Usually what I have happen is they get the main course right, but they'll still end up putting meat on the side tacos for some reason but I've had at least one time where I bit into my Mexican Pizza and was greeted by a massive chunk of what I think was chicken before realizing the entire thing had the chunks so they really just didn't gaf at all about the substitution request... hmmm idk what else could be giving you that flavor/texture if it's meatless maybe it really is cross contamination I've def been to locations when out of town that looked way shittier than mine.

I'll never understand why vegetarians and vegans put animals on the same level as humans while simultaneously not even giving a shit about humans. They're animals and would gladly kill and eat you if given the chance, humans are just treating them the same.

I am mostly vegetarian myself. I say mostly because I cant give up cheap pizza. I grew up with it and I get cravings for it every other month or so and I still get one.
>>83448230
I myself dont do that. I just dont want to contribute to the meat industry when I know the conditions the animals are kept in. It wont stop them from continuing but at least I dont contribute to it as much as I used to.

>>83448294
But you're fine contributing to other industries that treat humans and kids like, or literally as, slave labor since they make 90% of the shit you own, use, and wear.

>>83448321
No im not fine with that either, but the alternative is I grow my own food and make my own clothes and electronics and thats just out of the realm of possibility. Theres a lot of injustice in this world that wont stop whether or not I contribute to it. My point to you was I dont put animal suffering above human suffering, but I can at least not contribute to it willingly except when I have to or when I get selfish enough to do it anyway because I cant give up having a pizza or needing or wanting some new electronic or clothes. I dont look down on people who dont care and eat whatever and buy whatever of course, people have their own free will and make their own choices, and mine is to be more vegetarian than not.

>>83448385
> I can at least not contribute to it willingly
You could do the same when it comes to humans, but you don't. So yes, you are putting animal suffering above human suffering. You could easily only buy shit made in 1st world countries and not a 2nd or 3rd world shithole.

>>83448434

Bro never attacked you. Just mentioned tangentially that he liked Taco Bell for their vegetarian offerings. There's no reason to begin a full scan for moral hypocrisy.
I've also never seen the unprompted "but you participate in unethical things, too" schtick come from somebody who was themselves committed to ending slavery or human rights violations in any substantial way. It'd be one thing if the guy saying "But you participate in slavery" was boycotting slave-made goods the way that the vegetarian boycotts flesh, but realistically it's always a hypothetical ideal that they get the luxury of appealing to, and of comparing against a real and imperfect person's practiced self-denial. Somehow a vegetarian is never compared against a real person. Instead, everybody gets to compare them against this morally-upright hypothetical person who doesn't participate in any of the evils they benefit from.
It's the same with his entire practice of living. The vegetarian never gets asked what the ethical thing to do would be in the reality he finds himself in. Somehow, it's always this cartoonish hypothetical wherein he's stranded on a desert island, or the grid collapses, or he's transported to the arctic and there's only beef jerky to eat.
The fun part about this is that he doesn't have to attack or judge anyone in order to elicit this treatment. Just *finding out* that he doesn't eat flesh is enough. Even politely ordering a salad instead of a steak has to be done such that you don't use the V-word, because if you do, suddenly you're in a philosophical debate. Now everyone is an expert on nutrition, on agriculture, on biochemistry, on evolutionary anthropology, on ethics, on animal husbandry, and on the vegetarian himself. Suddenly everyone has a bone to pick. So the vegetarian avoids self-announcing or preaching until it would be awkward or rude NOT to mention it.
There is no winning.

>>83448517
Never said he attacked me, and I didn't attack him. I never compared him against anyone else, just himself. Not a philosophical debate, just wondering why he holds animals above humans. He said he doesn't, and I proved it was a lie by his own actions.

I'm the other guy but I'm a vegetarian too and I've personally kept a double-digit number of people out of body bags by my own hand and I'm really really proud of it. Smug, even. I 1000% go out of my way to do right by humans, too. Deadass.
If I'm talking to some guy who separates conjoined twins for a living or invented a new mechanical heart or whatever, or at least to somebody who actually boycotts all the things he points to as evidence of the vegetarian's hypocrisy, then that's one thing. But again, why is it that the vegetarian, imperfect and human as he is,(or hell, even somebody who recycles or tries to do ANYTHING decent) always has to be compared against a person's hypothetical ideal of what a truly ethical person would do, rather than against what that person actually does? Aren't they usually just being called out as hypocrites by someone who does everything unethical they do, plus one extra thing?
What is the point of this knee-jerk reaction people have where they try to defeat or undermine or outsmart or expose someone the INSTANT they use the V-word?
All I said was, "No thanks, I actually don't eat meat." We could have left it at that. It always turns into a podcast-tier debate somehow.
Jesus, dude.

>>83448630
>why is it that the vegetarian, imperfect and human as he is,(or hell, even somebody who recycles or tries to do ANYTHING decent) always has to be compared against a person's hypothetical ideal of what a truly ethical person would do
Again, I never compared him against another person, just himself. He made the claim, I challenged it, and proved he was lying by pointing out his own actions. Not once did I compare him to a hypothetical ideal.
>What is the point of this knee-jerk reaction people have where they try to defeat or undermine or outsmart or expose someone the INSTANT they use the V-word?
Didn't happen. If someone makes a claim, they should be able to defend it. If they can't then they can either admit their claim was wrong or they can change whatever is necessary, so the claim is true. In this case, it would be to either admit that he treats animals better than humans or simply change his actions when it comes to human suffering.

See picrel.
This post is in response to him replying to two other vegetarians with "Hey, good to see you, too, nice streak bro" and "Yeah they screw up my order too sometimes." All he did was mention that factory farm videos swayed him emotionally.
That, on its own, was enough to evoke, "I'll never understand why vegetarians and vegans put animals on the same level as humans while simultaneously not even giving a shit about humans."
You 1000% said that he didn't give a shit about other humans. You said it in response to him offhandedly mentioning to another vegetarian that factory farm videos disturbed him. You did, in fact, attack him, in a vacuum as someone who didn't give a shit about humanity, and as a hypocrite for caring about animals too much in proportion to that ostensible callousness. You interjected this into a brief and harmless "Oh hey, you too? Hi!" vegetarian circlejerk.
This kind of shit is why I legit don't tell anyone outside of a need-to-know basis IRL. It really does evoke this on-sight treatment for zero reason at all.
I'm gonna stop participating in this one since it's palpably not very cheerful or Christmasy, but you really did call him callous towards humans over nothing. It's not even up for debate, the post is right here and the literal meaning of the words you typed in that order isn't malleable as-needed.

NO ONE BOUGHT ME SHIT, I FUCKING HATE CHRISTMAS HOLY FUCK

>>83436682
>Thanks for doing it for me anon!
No problem anon.

>>83436697
>Anon where the fuck did you get that picture from?
I made it by finding random images and putting them all together after editing them. I also made the image and this thread for Gooner / Fart anon, because I saw him wanting to make a thread a few threads ago, but the new thread was taken. I themed it after things I have seen him say (gooning, farts, and added a Christmas theme too).

>Are you the fart anon?
No, but I hope he likes it. I might make a thread for another anon I saw who wants one if I am here again when a new thread is needed.

>>83442343
>Gooner/fart anon got his thread
>Your posts make me laugh. Proud of you bro, I kneel, but where did you get that picture from? Did you make it?
Read up.

Do you live in a land down under anon? I live in the south hemisphere and will never have a white Christmas. So I plan some year to travel to Japan or Europe to try to experience it!

>>83450219
No, I live in Freedom Land and for some reason, it's ridiculously hot this Christmas. Most of the previous ones have at least be in the 40s at the highest to my memory.

HAHAHHA SEETHE GIFTLET

I am once again asking for giftlets to link their lists.

>>83450273
should have an anchor post in each thread for giftlets desu

>>83450283
We've tried that a few years. It never seemed to work

rate my chair
>>83450283
i think its better like this, so giftlets need to lurk for presents and not just post and leave the thread

>>83450273
Wish I was a giftlet so I could be gifted my HDMI cable, but I'll probably get an Amazon gift card for Christmas from a sibling anyway. What I really need is a 2-1 laptop/large tablet to give to my mom, since her laptop is old and on life support.

Is that a bungee cord

>>83450312
DO YOU LIVE IN A LAND DOWN UNDAH

>>83450312
Technically we are in an interglacial period, which is a naturally occurring thing, so temperatures will get warmer on average.

>>83450380
>Is that a bungee cord
yes, was using that to hold it together for a while, but just wasnt enough, i just had the back ripped off instead at this point

I got up early to see visiting family but now I have no energy at all
Still want to get things done before bed but I'm flat as fuck rn

>>83450461
I won't judge. My room is jank, too. But you should install a spine of some kind or a brace if you expect that to work for you. Even a net of interlaced bungees would be better as support than a broken chair back held up by one bungee and hope.

>>83450489
i just gave up and ripped the back off, just broke the other arm and most the screws were ripped out so it really felt like a lost cause at that point

>put animals on the same level as humans
Whilst I am a devout Catholic, I still acknowledge that in the end we are all animals just the same and that all life is a cherished and loved creation of the lord. I'm not against hunting or genuine humane sustainable fishing and such even though I choose not to partake, I am against the total abomination that is factory farming.
>They're animals and would gladly kill and eat you if given the chance
The difference is we have the biological ability to and the heightened intelligence to be able to make decisions to preserve life where possible and such. Yeah a starving animal will preserve itself before something else but humans are the exact same way yet under normal circumstances most predatory animals avoid healthy prey and will go for weak or sick individuals which helps the group of prey animals as a whole and is in the end part of a mutually beneficial cycle in a way. Everything keeps itself in check and balance. Modern humans are completely oblivious to the fact that just because you live in a city doesn't mean you do not still impact and exist alongside nature. Also lets not forget that under proper management farming of crops is significantly more efficient per acre and has a much lower carbon footprint and drain on water resources than farming livestock.

This guy literally blew the back out of his chair

>>83450707
im only 125lbs too, guess leaning backwards alot while resting on my tail bone was bad for the chair and my tailbone lol

>>83450731
Based fellow skeleton. My chair hasn't had seat padding in forever. I just use a pillow to sit on and wouldn't mind having one of those chair gel cushions.

i had a dream last night that someone bought me a random building set to build shit for a thread
>>83450770
yeah i usually cope with pillows but ive not bothered as of late, there is no cushioning besides the blanket sheet on this bad boy either

I am planning on having a whole bottle of wine for christmas dinner but I only drink once a year at best, would that kill me?

>>83450996
whole bottle of wine? anon aint no way it kills you dawg, that shit is mostly grape juice, im a light weight too but i dont even think that is enough either for me

>>83450996
I doubt wine would kill you, but it has a reputation for hangovers. Tannins or whatever.

Might have a shot at hitting a new thread tomorrow if we get a lot of action.

I will become an engineer and then I'll kill myself, I don't plan on living a life in constant pain. I'm only 30, I don't want to live decades in pain, I'm only doing the college thing to make my parents happy. Once they pass away I will kill myself, I want them to pass away thinking I will be okay on my own.

>>83444324
Yes, I'm using GetSumMath and Light and Salt for my math, I already passed the other 3, I just need math.

Got something for both of you.

Well, it's time for me to get some sleep. Had a good time with everyone. Hope we can do it again tomorrow. I'll be on for a bit and then I'll be gone to watch some Christmas movies. Only 3 days until Eve and 4 until Christmas Day, so we all need to break the limits on festive cheer and comfiness. Hope everyone has a good rest of their day. As always, I need everyone to stay comfy, healthy, and festive.

Gyatt DAMN! Thank you based gifter!
Did you know that you just extended my effective range in my room? I've been using a shitty 7-11 phone charger since like July! I have a larger cord radius now. Thank-you for marginally improving every day going forward, for giving me just a little extra time in my day via improved charging, and for expanding my Made In Abyss collection! Legit made me smile.
