Do anons still go for nightwalks? I tend to fetishize them, but rarely want to actually go do them. Same with cigarettes, I miss them when I don't have them, but don't like them all that much when I do smoke. It's getting too cold out for nightwalks anyway...
>>85637241used to do it, but one time I got followed by some druggie, so I'd rather not get stabbed
>>85637241I'm looking forward to the colder weather I think going for walks is more enjoyable when the weather is colder
>>85637241Occasionally if I'm trying not to be too lazy I'll try and walk for a bit with a weighted vest on.
>>85637250That's part of it too. Plus the fact that I'd want my phone with me, but can't risk losing my smartphone if I get mugged or accidentally drop it somewhere. It's not like back in the day when dumbphones were just a tool to call someone, now it's a somewhat expensive pocket computer filled with apps and data. I got it as a gift, I didn't want to buy one, but now I'm stuck with it. At least I can browse 4chan on the toilet I guess.
>>85637241Is anyone here from a thirdworld country? Walking alone at night feels risky here
>>85637241I do but I haven't for a couple of months. I've walked everywhere I can walk in my area so it got a bit boring.
>>85637271It's like that everywhere these days. Also, I should've used pic related for the OP, but I only just noticed in my folder.
I'm supposed to be working on a project, instead I'm dumping doomers. It's too bad they've gone out of fashion post-pandemic. They're comfy. Either way, I'll post some new ones I got off someone's Instagram of all places.
>>85637241LEDs have ruined the night
>>85637322>I'll post some new ones I got off someone's Instagram of all places.
>>85637241>too coldnigga just wear a hoodie. catch me out in the snow at midnight dying.
>>85637335It was a Google redirect, I don't actually use Instagram. Regardless, it turned out to only be a few semi-decent doomer images, not the treasure trove I first thought it would be when I posted that.
>>85637332I'm not sure how to feel about it. I prefer the yellow lights as well, but I don't necessarily hate the white ones either.
While we're on the subject, I really like night walks in video games. Stuff like Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines feels like it was made for that.
>>85637241I did once earlier this year. It was nice. The lights. I should do it again now that the weather is cooler.>>85637262you get it
>>85637241Every night after work. I go to the store grab a beer or two. Walk home. Get wasted
I've done it a lot of times but the police find it funny to arrest me sometimes for crimes I've never done. Seeing as a lot of weirdos walk around at night you put yourself at risk of being mistaken as the criminal they're looking for.
To contribute a bit myself. The shithole Iive in used to be filled with small casinos before the local government decided to start cracking down on them. They were one of the few places open all night and I used to love going there at night to grab a drink and waste some money. But that got out of control eventually. I still get a small urge to gamble whenever I see shiny lights in the distance at night...
I prefer to walk at night because there's no sun and little to no people. Also I usually sleep all day so it's rare I'm outside before 4PM at the earliest
Night walking is a good way to get harassed/arrested by police or get mugged/murdered by niggers. If you're just walking around suburbia thats one thing, but most places are not safe for this, especially if you have music in your ears and aren't fully aware of your surroundings
>>85637241My city isn't aesthetic at all. It ruins the mood for me. I'd rather just stay inside.
>>85637899>My city isn't aesthetic at allFew places are, to be fair.
>>85637795Either you live in a shithole or you're paranoid. I pity you, you're missing out.
>>85637928EVERYWHERE but rural Kansas and Nebraska is a shithole bruh
>>85637940Not to the point where going outside past sunset will get you robbed or arrested. That's just silly.Look up crime statistics for your area and you'll see. Chatgpt is good at that sort of thing. The news warps your view of reality and makes you think the risk is much higher than it actually is.
>>85638010I'm speaking from experience bro. I'm glad some anons live in places where its possible though. Must be really relaxing
>>85637241I haven't done it in a long while, plan on getting back into it. I've been dealing with depression since the start of the year, house projects and work being oppressive. In the fall/winter-time I used to chain-smoke while nightwalking, miss it dearly.
>>85638032Fair enough. It is comfy once you get past the fear. It helps to not carry anything valuable. I purchased a cheap phone for music and contact for example.
>>85638010>chatgpt>for crime statslike, I somewhat agree a lot of places aren't unsafe if you have a modicum of situational awareness (or a firearm!), but come on bro. you really think chatgpt is going to give to to you straight?
>>85638066Yes, chatgpt is able to look up and read crime statistics and present them to you.
>>85638074It could be hallucinating or lying though. WWIII was almost started just like 4 days ago because AI told the Navy that a Chinese ship was carrying stolen american secrets and tech. This shit is not god
>>85638088That's not much of a problem anymore for simple tasks like the one I suggested in my recent experience.You should try it for yourself. AI advances every month, give it another go. Maybe you'll see what I'm talking about. And if not, you'll know that I'm wrong.
>>85638142I'd prefer to stay human and continue boycotting AI from my life
>>85638190So you're ideologically captured. Whatever, your loss.
>>85637241le Flaneur never dies, It seems
>>85638192nta, but jesus you all talk the same. "Ideologically captured?" Yeah bro, just throw out hot buzzwords without contemplating why he might be distrustful of using AI
>>85638234Interesting concept. But night walks are usually isolating rather than a chance to people-watch.
>>85638235Nta either but that first guy sai "stay human and boycott AI"These are also buzz terms.Ai is fucking great. How long do I have to put up with you people
>>85638246I suppose, more so was just referring to that. concept of a man simply walking.I was a pretty dedicated nightwalker for years, I preferred the night because then I didn't feel looked at. I lived in a pretty big city, and it was nice to see it change throughout the seasons. Maybe I'll dig up my photo collection from those times.
>>85638279>I suppose, more so was just referring to that. concept of a man simply walking.Fair enough. I suppose it also depends on where you are. Back when I was a student living in a large city, there was always at least some activity at night in my area (it was close to the city center). That sort of "crowded" night walk also had its charm.
Yeah I do. I go for night skates. I specifically must wait for night because it's been too hot this summer. It just now stopped being 110 outside everyday.I skate to the corner and grab 2 beers then skate back. My vo2 is crazy now that I switched from flower to vape. I guess my lungs don't see them the same? Obviously flower has a bunch of shit in it that isn't pure.Anyway, I've been using alcohol to numb my sprained wrist. This shit has been sprained for almost 2 months now.
they're nice but with fall starting i'll probably hold off on them, get sick too easily to be out when its colder, shit sucks. summer night walks are amazing tho
>>85637241I tend to take my walks around 5am. I live in the suburbs though so it's nice and quiet with usually only me and the odd jogger around, though the number of people out starts increasing as I wind my walk down and go home around 6-7. You know what I missed about the sun rising sooner though? The lack of cars shining their searchlights into your eyes. I cannot say enough bad things about the brightness of modern headlights. If you can't see at night unless you turn the space directly in front of you into day time then maybe you shouldn't be driving at night.
It's so fucking hot here even night walks leave me sweating. I need to move but I'm a hikineet.
I miss nightwalks, been stuck on crutches for the last few years and for whatever reason being crippled makes the crackheads gravitate to you like crazy. You lose a lot of the peacefulness when some guy missing half his teeth keeps trying to touch you.
>>85637262cold & dark make the normgroids go away so nightwalks become much comfier. the time between the end of summer and the start of daylight savings is one of my favorite parts of the year i think. it's a little sketchy right now though because there are bears everywhere.i can't wait to go back to japan, the long nights were so peaceful
yeah I love night walks. It's funny when I see other pedestrians and they look afraid of me lol
I do. Sometimes I take pictures of liminal spaces. Other times. I just enjoy it. Never been robbed or assaulted or anything interesting happen to me.It helps being 6ft with broad shoulders I guess.pic related, I walked by here at night.
>>85637899>My cityOh. Ok
I still like to go for a night walks, I found this cool spot down a hill beside a river and I like to go there most nights and smoke a few joints and listen to Music.
>>85637241I don't necessarily miss being a kid that much, but thinking back to the old nightwalks I'd take with some of my friends gives me that painful nostalgic feeling in my stomach.I still take them, especially now that it's autumn.I am very lucky to live in a scandi town that's pretty empty from 9 pm to 6 am, and there is a lot of nature everywhere - even in the "populated" parts of town, just lots of little parks, trees everywhere, small paths that go by the lake(s), mountains in the distance.I am glad to see that /nightwalk/ is making a comeback, I tried reviving it a few years ago but nobody seemed that interested (or maybe I was just unlucky).Please excuse my really shitty phone camera.
>>85638235He's an ideological zombie who thinks using AI to read about crime stats is going to take away his humanity. He won't even try the product to confirm what he's being told about it. What else do you call that?All I suggest is that these zombies try the product and form their own opinion. You can't form an accurate opinion of AI without using it. It's frustrating that any time somebody mentions AI, zombies come along to parrot other people's opinions. If they used it and didn't like it, at least there's some discussion to be had. Arguing with ideologues is a waste of everybody's time. The people who push Pro-AI and anti-AI viewpoints are unreliable, you need to use the product to find it's uses and limitations.
last time I went on a night walk this woman was walking really slowly in front of me and kept looking around like wtf is this your fantasy or something
