as an example on how things never play out the way they do in the movies, here's the ending to the original 1964 Willy Wonka as is followed by how it would play out in real life

>Willy Wonka movie

Grampa Joe: it's an elevator

Wonka: it's a wonka vator! an elevator can only go up and down, but the wonka vator can go up and down, side to side, long ways and short ways, and up and till now I've pressed them all! except that one! go ahead Charlie!

now lets see how that same scene would play out if Willy Wonka had Aspergers syndrome

>Willy Wonka real life

Grandpa Joe: it's an elevator

Small and not so small things you'd like to change Anonymous 05/02/18 (Wed) 19:04:27 No.18794 [Reply]

Do you have anything you'd like/are planning to change?
Things like habits, spending too much time playing games, reading too little, not drawing, having too much free time and wanting to use it for something, etc.
Things that you had wanted to change for a long time but haven't either put yourself into work. Or, if you're working on that, what are you doing to change them?
As for OP:

→Exercise more
I spend most of my day sitting so I'd like to get rid of the extra energy I get every time I eat. The thing is, I live in a small apartment, and I don't really want to join a gym or anything like that. I'd like to run but the only good place is far and I don't have the time. I'd like to do something in my home but, since it's small, there's not much I can do to burn energy. At least I don't know of any exercise that doesn't require that much space other than abdominals and squatting.
→Fix twangy speech
I've only noticed recently my voice sounds twangy, probably because I don't speak too much/often so I don't move my mouth properly or something, but I've started to read books aloud and recording my voice to improve it.
→Learn to speak Japanese
I know how to read, but when it comes to speaking or writing in japanese I still have serious problems.

Why do you think they weren't already doing those things? Wanting to make a change does not make that change happen. If they only want that change, there's obviously something holding that person back.

>Why do you think they weren't already doing those things?
Not being aware of a speech impairment? Lack of time? Space? Cash to buy an intrument and working to get the money? Do I need to point out more examples of why somebody has been unable to complete some small goal?
Because that's what I mean. Small changes to change small things in your life to achieve some small goal, not procrastination, or some major chanfe in your life or anything like that. Philosophy has nothing to do with it. I didn't really thought it'd be necessary to explicitly state it.
/n/ is that way, my friend. Wanting to practice shodo and finding it hard to achieve because you can't find good brush and ink has nothing go do with demons.

I've been posting actively here for more than a year now and I feel like i'm walking through the ruins of a fallen kingdom, everyone talks about how great this site used to be, and how bad and empty it has gotten over the years. And I can feel it too, it looks like seisatsu just hates this site.
Which sucks, because this looked like the perfect imageboard for me, I feel like i'm just wasting my time here, hoping it'll get better someday.
Should i just move on to somewhere else and forget this place completely?

it was always vomitive shithole anon just stay here
alts and chans in general are dying off, and yume nikki's popularity is dated, its natural that this place gets less active.
YN and some of the mental folders here (hikkidom, rpgmaker/"art" games) attract communities that can clash easily (wizards, 4chan, tumblr/twitter, etc and their topics) and cause drama, which spreads easily due to the small userbase and "serious" tone; you have this happen at least once every year. It's happened more frequently recently due to a variety of reasons; one being the general climate surrounding IBs (and the internet in general), everyone's angrier nowadays. and its a shaky thing to solve since IB's have an unwritten agreement of being unmoderated places where you can say anything you want. honestly I cannot blame sei for getting frustrated. sei has been alone as sole active staff, since like, 2016? I was a mod circa 2019 but I left w/out explanation
having to deal with drama CD's on your own for years takes a toll on you, especially since a lot of the OG userbase left, a lot of them on their 30s now.

so yeah, its definitely a different, deader site now, as are *chans in general, but I still think its worth something to people, and it still has an unique blend of subjects.

Do you think our society likes to glorify mental illness/depression/anxiety? I sometimes think they do because I've seen normalfags really like to talk about their crippling anxiety and depression (although it could also be the noted rise of depression and mental illness among the newer generations). Not only that, but people's interest in things like outsider artists and the tortured artist stereotype. Is it just normal people wanting their boring lives to be more interesting?

Hello, uboachan. It's been a long time since I learned about this site almost a decade ago, and a long time since I've lurked here. I didn't spend much time here before and I don't know if I will now, but finding this site again and seeing it still somewhat alive feels a bit like part of something I've missed.

It's an odd thing to make a thread on but I hope everyone's lives have been well in the time this site has been up and the time I last saw it. Getting older has been a weird experience, and I figured it didn't really matter if I shat up /ot/ with my melancholy reminiscing. Good to see parts of the internet like this still surviving in this streamlined bs it's become.

True. There are great places to find on the net today tho, but they're just not mainstream anymore. You just have to sort through all the simplistic monotone shit to get to the good stuff. It's like a filter of sorts.

I'd have to say that a lot of the good stuff on the net nowadays is located on a few niche corners of these big sites, mostly YouTube - a few channels I recommend are EmpLemon, Zero Punctuation, and Whang! (after 8+ years of fine-tuning my recommendeds).

If it's site-specific stuff, you could always try getting lost in Neocities sites (neocities.org). Some of them have cool stuff.
