I fucking hate minimalism with a passion. Just thinking about it drives me nuts. Minimalism everything from interior design to technology is a cancer. It feels sterile and it has no room for personal expression of the designer. It is conformist in nature. It confuses simplicity with meaninglessness. Take Window's 10's blue screen. It gives you practically no information on what actually went wrong with your computer. It insults your intelligence. It's not sleek, it's nothing. Minimalism is supposed to be a means of compensating for modern distractions, but it's actually just an extension of modern empty-headedness. There is nothing in minimalist design to appreciate or think about. It's cold and incites no warm emotions. This conformist, lazy aesthetic is constantly being pushed on people all the time. It's like a form of brain-washing. It eats away at you and makes you just as empty as it. Design exists to look good, make you notice it, and give you a specific feeling. Minimalism does none of those things. It is the anti-design.

I was just really bored some random night in September 2016 and decided to go on tvtropes (don't blame me).
I randomly found Yume Nikki, played it, i thought it was too eerie for me and i felt like it was hurting my head and i dropped it. (probably because i was sick at the time)

I also found .flow via tvtropes soon after, installed it and looking at the main character design, the ruined look of her apartment, i decided that i would try and finish it.

After finishing it last month, i was looking up .flow on the internet and i found this lovely place.

Liru is a miracle of the universe.

I constantly hear voices in my head telling me to face challenges that I perceive to be challenging. The majority of these activities are quite simple, but this one was particularly interesting.
Although the test itself was very simple, there were some delicate subjects covered by the wager. The bet was that if I won, my waifu would be entirely a pure virgin and would not die in the manga,As the Manga leaves her fate undetermined.
I took the bet, but I'm not sure if I succeeded. I merely feel empty and always fear that my love for her has soured. Sometimes I try to outdo the voices, but I feel like every time I fail the challenge, my love fades away for her.

I am terrified of these thoughts, and the voices have destroyed my feelings for her.

I genuinely hope that my thoughts have no bearing on reality, that they can be changed, or that my magical thinking related to my autism and schizophrenia is the only thing affecting my love for her.

Does anyone here have a similar problem to me What are the solutions?

Anyone else have a sleeping disorder?
I have narcolepsy.
It's kind of funny to me because I've love Yume Nikki since I was like 12, and even though I've grown up, and it's been years, and it's faded into the back of my mind, it's always been important to me.
And then a couple years ago, I started sleeping more and more to the point that I just conk out without warning, and now this week I finally got a diagnosis.
Who else here /sleepdisorder/?

The 4400 is just a shitty version of Jojo. I don't know whether you heard of the 4400, here's a summary: 4400 people are abducted by aliens over varying points of history. All of them are returned to earth at the same time and they're all the same age as when they were abducted. When they land they have special powers for some reason. Every person has a unique power that is somewhat reflective of their personality. The show itself follows a special police force made to monitor the 440 and apprehend any of them if they cause trouble. The show starts of being episodic with them finding and arresting various dangerous 4400 members. Shit starts to get more convoluted when scientists figure out that the powers are caused by some green ooze and if people inject that into them self they can either develop powers or die. Somehow this green ooze start being distributed illegally. The police team now also has to combat any person who developed powers and uses them for criminal actives. All of the powers are kind of dull like making people do what you want, or killing people around you when you get stressed, or never forgetting anything. Nothing very interesting. People don't use them in creative ways. The story gets more and more convoluted with time travel and mind control and eventually some guy gets the power to make the people around him either die or also get powers and the whole thing becomes a massive cluster fuck that didn't even get a proper conclusion because it got cancelled. Has anybody else watched this train wreck?

This is kind of a dumb post but I really want to share this. I wrote all of this already and I'm not gonna waste it. Was originally gonna submit this to /x/ but it didn't really match the tone.
