<2021-05-05T20:03:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: Girls und Panzer is a pretty good show tbh
<2021-05-05T20:04:28.000Z> SerfnUSA: That’s right!! That’s exactly right!!!
<2021-05-05T20:05:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: I knew basically nothing about it going in, certainly wasn't expecting it to be a girly martial arts thing
<2021-05-05T20:06:54.000Z> SerfnUSA: Same here, I actually thought it was going to be some kind of moe ww2 but nope it’s a (very well executed) standard sports anime just the sport is tanks
<2021-05-05T20:07:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: "Guys and tanks... I just can't see it, you know"
<2021-05-05T20:07:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: that was the part of the first episode where I realized I'd have to watch the entire series
<2021-05-05T20:11:45.000Z> SerfnUSA: Unless you wind up absolutely hating it after you’re done I can’t recommend watching the movie highly enough, it’s really quite a phenomenon. Oh but watch the ovas first, the Anzio ova at least. The rest of the OVAs are just (very good) comedy shorts but the Anzio ova is more meaty content and it’s where you’ll really get to meet and know anchovy.
<2021-05-05T20:12:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: does anything happen later that might make me want to drop the series?
<2021-05-05T20:12:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm 3 episodes in and enjoying it
<2021-05-05T20:12:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: nyaa.si/view/1042603
<2021-05-05T20:13:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: this is the torrent I used btw, is this watch order about right?
<2021-05-05T20:14:14.000Z> SerfnUSA: Yep that’s right
<2021-05-05T20:17:17.000Z> SerfnUSA: The yukari specials are basically just tank specs and historical facts being told to you in a cute autistic anime girl voice instead of in a not cute autistic real guy voice like you’d find if you looked up tank fact videos on YouTube, so it’s not required viewing but if that sounds enjoyable go for it 
<2021-05-05T20:17:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm only a minor tank sperg
<2021-05-05T20:17:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: I jumped out of my seat a little when I saw Lucas girl
<2021-05-05T20:18:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: didn't know his avatar was from GuP
<2021-05-05T21:25:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: I worry I get too overdramatic about dumb shit sometimes lol
<2021-05-05T21:28:50.000Z> SerfnUSA: LOL poor yukari 😭
<2021-05-05T21:29:19.000Z> SerfnUSA: Life’s too short for stoicism. Emote to your hearts content!
<2021-05-05T21:29:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: yukari will never recover from what Lucas did to her image
<2021-05-05T21:30:45.000Z> SerfnUSA: Only among people like us thankfully 
<2021-05-05T21:31:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: forbidden knowledge
<2021-05-05T21:55:12.000Z> SerfnUSA: Are you leaning towards a best girl yet?
<2021-05-05T21:55:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: beyond surface level cuteness, not really
<2021-05-05T21:55:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: only 3 eps in though
<2021-05-05T21:56:13.000Z> SerfnUSA: Understandable have a nice watch 
<2021-05-05T21:57:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: after this I should also get back to Symphogear and watch Strike Witches
<2021-05-05T21:57:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ve watched two seasons of Symphogear and loved both and I’ve watched two seasons and a movie of strike witches and still haven’t really gotten into it 
<2021-06-06T23:35:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: do you have any interest in board/wargames?
<2021-06-06T23:36:29.000Z> SerfnUSA: Interest, sure I’ve always been interested in the idea of then but I’ve never had any experience 
<2021-06-06T23:36:36.000Z> SerfnUSA: Why do you ask?
<2021-06-06T23:39:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: been looking for guys to play Ogre with me over this program, Vassal
<2021-06-06T23:39:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's a relatively simple asymmetric wargame where one side is controlling a futuristic scifi force and the other side is controlling a superpowerful AI tank
<2021-06-06T23:40:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: "relatively simple" I mean it's about as easy as a wargame can be while still having tactical depth
<2021-06-06T23:40:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: if you're into turn based strategy games you'd probably enjoy it
<2021-06-06T23:41:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: there's also an expansion that involves playing on a larger map with both sides fielding conventional forces
<2021-06-06T23:42:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: I bring this up because you were talking about Fire Emblem earlier and I've had a hard time finding players lately lol
<2021-06-07T00:52:47.000Z> SerfnUSA: I appreciate offer but I feel both like I’m too old to learn something new and complicated and I really don’t have the time
<2021-06-07T01:12:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's a very simple game, but fair enough re time constraints
<2021-06-15T23:49:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: tfw you can't tell if you got blocked for poasting a loli in the responses or if you were already blocked
<2021-06-16T00:35:36.000Z> SerfnUSA: I never block good tengu
<2021-06-16T00:35:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: based
<2021-06-16T00:35:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: wish I could say the same
<2021-06-16T00:36:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: don't really get mad about blocks though, they're all earned
<2021-06-16T00:36:40.000Z> SerfnUSA: Well when you come after girls as good as Galko these things can happen...
<2021-06-26T22:32:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: I hope this doesn't sound like a very weird thing to bring up, but you're one of the only married guys I'm really in contact with, but I'm really not sure how I should feel about myself re relationships
<2021-06-26T22:32:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: never really pursued them or felt much of an active desire for them, but I'm starting to wonder if I'll regret it when I'm older and have even less of a chance of getting one
<2021-06-26T22:33:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: I am genuinely autistic so it might be better if I don't have kids and as it is I don't really like being around others too much, guess it's more being worried about how it would make me look, which is probably silly
<2021-06-26T23:05:21.000Z> SerfnUSA: Busy today, but I will think on what you’ve said and get back to you when I can
<2021-06-26T23:05:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: again, sorry if this is really weird to bring up
<2021-06-26T23:05:45.000Z> SerfnUSA: Not weird at all
<2021-06-26T23:05:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: that's good
<2021-06-26T23:06:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: don't really like talking about it because it feels like a deeply personal thing tbh
<2021-06-28T13:28:06.000Z> SerfnUSA: Been thinking about what to say and I think for the most part it’s probably all things you’ve heard before, but I think it’s always worth hearing and saying again. Don’t give up on finding a woman to love and start a family with, ever. I know what a big ask that is, from personal experience nothing in my life was more demoralizing than being perpetually single, it’s the most soul sucking hopeless state but you owe it to yourself to not give up and fight against that hopelessness. You will regret not having children, nothing is more miserable than your last few decades if you have no one to be with you in those years, and that’s even being unreasonably optimistic that this system will be able or willing to support the elderly without family 60 or whatever years from now. So what if you’ve got autism, finding love is a matter of persistence and luck in any case, you might just need a touch more of it but it’ll happen eventually if you keep at it, and if your concern is autism vis a vis your kids then 1) you exist and for all the trouble that brings you it’s better than the alternative, so too for your offspring and 2) if they are autistic like you you’re in a better position than perhaps your parents were because you can more easily understand their needs and nurture them accordingly. If I can get esoteric I’ll tell you that your life is a gift that a thousand generations of your fathers have given you and you owe it to the next thousand generations to pass that blessing on through you. If I can be more mundane and personal I’ll say that doing all the same kind of horny weeb stuff you were going to do anyway but with a girl by your side who makes you smile and who you make smile makes everything that was already good so much better and everything that was hard far easier to deal with. It’s all worth it. Don’t give up, keep fighting.
<2021-06-28T14:00:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: that's true, but there are some other things I'm worried about, like how I tend to get nervous around people and don't really think I'll ever have enough money to be worthwhile to any potential wife
<2021-06-28T14:00:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: as it is I can't find a job right now and didn't get a college degree, feels dire sometimes
<2021-06-28T15:06:19.000Z> SerfnUSA: If you’re full on neet yeah I won’t lie that’s very hard to find a woman. But even without making serious money if you’re making an effort to support yourself and improve yourself, economically and physically, you WILL attract some women eventually. We talk in our circles about how hard it is to find good women but unless they’re physically 9/10 women they also have trouble finding good men, because so many men are just effeminate wimps. If you can not be that you put yourself in a better position than even modest money gives you.
<2021-06-28T15:10:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: trying to unneet myself, at least
<2021-06-28T15:10:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: also been working on getting fitter, gained some weight after losing my last job lol
<2021-06-28T15:18:53.000Z> SerfnUSA: That's what matters man, good for you
<2021-06-28T15:19:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: main concern has been spiritual matters lately, I think it's overall been good for me
<2021-06-28T15:20:17.000Z> SerfnUSA: Go to church 😆
<2021-06-28T15:20:27.000Z> SerfnUSA: Or whatever you need to do
<2021-06-28T15:20:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, the sangha I attend started doing meetings over Zoom, which is good because it's a ways out and I'm still working on my driver's license
<2021-06-28T15:21:51.000Z> SerfnUSA: I'm a Christian and want to see all my boys in heaven but regardless spirituality is important, if you don't center your soul its hard to achieve anything and appreciate it
<2021-06-28T15:22:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: ultimately everyone wants their friends to have heaven/enlightenment, I hope
<2021-06-28T15:27:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: I do think Christianity deserves respect for being one of the few universal religions that stresses compassion and doing right by others
<2021-07-01T14:15:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think once I know the job I applied for is locked in I'll be opening a fedi instance for some friends
<2021-07-01T14:15:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: would you be interested?
<2021-07-01T14:16:32.000Z> SerfnUSA: Congrats on the likely job man!
<2021-07-01T14:16:43.000Z> SerfnUSA: Yeah I'd be down for that
<2021-07-01T14:18:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's nothing good, but it will be money
<2021-07-01T14:18:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: probably just dumping money into Chinese ETFs and stonks
<2021-07-01T14:20:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: mostly starting an instance because I do speak with one of the jannies here and they're somewhat concerned about how long this place will stick around
<2021-07-01T14:31:57.000Z> SerfnUSA: All good things, eh
<2021-07-01T14:33:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: not sure if asking guys to keep fedposting to a minimum would be an unwise restriction
<2021-07-01T14:34:50.000Z> SerfnUSA: Just only invite people who can read the room. My plan is to name them on poast like normal as long as I can and move my horny weeb posting to your instance 
<2021-07-01T14:36:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: based
<2021-07-01T14:36:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: I might fedpoast against hard materialists
<2021-07-01T14:36:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: they won't even publicly denounce me for it, they'll just kill me for it
<2021-07-01T14:45:24.000Z> SerfnUSA: Me but with gnostics
<2021-07-01T14:58:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: failure to properly understand samsara is nirvana, many such cases!
<2021-07-01T14:58:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: referring to the gnostics of course, not you
<2021-07-01T14:59:19.000Z> SerfnUSA: Of course 
<2021-07-01T14:59:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: really wonder why gnostics bother when Buddhism or even Advaita Vedanta exist and has similar insights with saner methodology and metaphysics
<2021-07-01T15:44:18.000Z> SerfnUSA: The subversion and secret keeping aspect is more important than the theology 
<2021-07-01T15:44:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: I really don't think much of mystery religions
<2021-07-01T15:45:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: if there are some practices you keep from beginners because they're likely to misinterpret them and cause themselves spiritual harm, fine, but don't go on about how wise you are and then refuse to give people the means of verifying your claims until they fully submit to you
<2021-07-01T15:47:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: my three criteria for a religion to have any merit is universality, a focus on compassionate conduct, and openness
<2021-07-01T15:47:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: religions failing to meet that invariably devolve into a form of judaism, if they weren't just that to begin with
<2021-07-02T20:08:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: sometimes I feel like a clown for constantly boosting important spiritual practices between hornypoasts and adding horny to the poasts themselves
<2021-07-02T20:09:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: it might make people pay more attention though
<2021-07-02T20:11:32.000Z> SerfnUSA: We all do it lmao don’t worry about it man, we’re all horny weebs here if the ones who are also connected to some deeper truths can help guide others along the path because we are more relatable than an uptight guy who is exclusively spiritual so much the better
<2021-07-02T20:11:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'll just call it upaya
<2021-07-02T20:12:01.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ll take your word for it king 🥂 
<2021-07-02T20:12:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: srsly though, if you don't already do it I'd highly recommend checking out that book on breath meditation I've been linking fairly frequently
<2021-07-02T20:12:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: easily the best method I've tried
<2021-07-02T20:14:04.000Z> SerfnUSA: Recommend it 7 more times and I’ll give it a try, im pretty set in my ways
<2021-07-02T20:14:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'll start adding it to the daily Botan feet post
<2021-07-02T20:14:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: Brave
<2021-07-02T20:14:42.000Z> SerfnUSA: Dedicated
<2021-07-02T20:14:49.000Z> SerfnUSA: Admirable
<2021-07-02T20:15:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: in 40 years I'll be a monk in some far off monastery delivering teachings with a thangka of Botan's feet prominently displayed
<2021-07-02T20:16:25.000Z> SerfnUSA: Inshallah 
<2021-07-02T20:17:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: in the buddha, the dharma, the sanga, and botan's feet I take refuge
<2021-07-02T20:18:11.000Z> SerfnUSA: Powerful combination of scents right there

<2021-07-04T00:38:48.000Z> SerfnUSA: And In the meantime you still have pregnant anime girls
<2021-07-04T00:42:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: hoping they continue to show patience in the meantime
<2021-07-04T00:42:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: and based
<2021-07-04T00:46:06.000Z> SerfnUSA: If you show them that you’re trying I’d hope they’d be reasonable
<2021-07-04T00:46:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: they're a bit upset because I applied for a physically demanding job at a gravel company, asked for fifteen/hour, and they never responded to me
<2021-07-04T00:47:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: according to them you shouldn't ask for manual labor jobs at above minimum wage because those jobs are for people too useless for anything else
<2021-07-04T00:47:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: not paraphrasing that much
<2021-07-04T00:47:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: >america
<2021-07-04T00:47:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: How dare you want a living wage for hard labor
<2021-07-04T00:47:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: fifteen/hour isn't even remotely a living wage where I am
<2021-07-04T00:48:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: as soon as I have money I'm moving somewhere better
<2021-07-04T00:49:04.000Z> SerfnUSA: Come to the south, we have the best people
<2021-07-04T00:50:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm technically in the south, though in an area mostly for college educated upper middle class guys
<2021-07-04T00:52:47.000Z> SerfnUSA: Come to the better parts lol 
<2021-07-04T00:53:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: that's the plan
<2021-07-04T00:53:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: though the south's demographics worry me
<2021-07-04T00:55:25.000Z> SerfnUSA: As opposed to?
<2021-07-04T00:55:53.000Z> SerfnUSA: I mean I get it but is there anywhere where the demographics are looking optimistic?
<2021-07-04T01:00:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: that's a good point
<2021-07-04T01:00:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: I should look into those oil platform jobs in Alaska
<2021-07-04T01:14:18.000Z> SerfnUSA: (Seriously tho I’ve been enjoying all the pregnant anime girl poasting you’ve been doing keep up the good work king, maybe you’ll get a good job as a karmic reward)

<2021-07-04T01:41:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: though I will poast it regardless
<2021-07-04T01:43:43.000Z> SerfnUSA: 💯 to both

<2021-07-04T01:45:49.000Z> SerfnUSA: How is the most beautiful kind of woman (anime) committing the most feminine possible act (giving birth) in any way heinous?

<2021-07-04T02:29:06.000Z> SerfnUSA: Heart or baby symbol with a line through it means abortion, cringe and anti natal

<2021-07-04T02:29:29.000Z> SerfnUSA: Very important distinction here
<2021-07-04T02:30:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: watch the faces, there is no joy only lust and possible judaism
<2021-07-04T02:30:57.000Z> SerfnUSA: My friend the judaism is all but certain
<2021-07-04T02:36:40.000Z> tengumatingpress attached file https://img.poast.org/25fd65ea143967add094b0a7559c99b2db53a267f3f33c6525c463615f08d6b8.png
<2021-07-04T02:48:57.000Z> SerfnUSA: WHOLESOME
<2021-07-04T02:49:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: belly looks like she still has one or two on the way
<2021-07-04T02:49:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: imagine
<2021-07-04T02:58:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: >A girl with a perfect body, great personality, and good intelligence proving to be abnormally fertile as well, not only ensuring her godlike genes pass on to future generations but also that in the present her already gorgeous body will become more and more sublimely maternal as her body changes to accommodate repeated extra large pregnancies. 
<2021-07-04T02:58:46.000Z> SerfnUSA: Or something like that
<2021-07-04T02:59:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: anime women be averaging 2 or 3/pregnancy
<2021-07-04T02:59:23.000Z> tengumatingpress attached file https://img.poast.org/e1fa7495fab6288f012f3b498d69308857dfc72a510e3fa1de1d2c2f4c0b7620.png
<2021-07-04T03:01:06.000Z> SerfnUSA: They’re all on that over 30 fertility treatments (but they’re all under 30 so they’re actually hot and it’s awesome instead of lane and sad and probably greatly contributing to autism)
<2021-07-04T03:01:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's ok they don't get old
<2021-07-04T03:01:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: anime is literally a depiction of the deva realm
<2021-07-04T03:02:29.000Z> SerfnUSA: Mashallah 🙏
<2021-07-05T00:38:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: manga concept that would save japan:
<2021-07-05T00:38:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: mahou shoujo but instead of dresses they just fight naked and are distinguishable by age/hair color and their primary enemies are futa monstergirls invading to breed with human women because they can no longer give birth to pure women
<2021-07-05T02:36:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: High concept art
<2021-07-05T16:32:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: considering writing something like, though I still have a sense of shame
<2021-07-05T21:17:12.000Z> SerfnUSA: Give it a couple more years
<2021-07-05T21:17:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: for what?
<2021-07-05T21:17:57.000Z> SerfnUSA: Your sense of shame to degenerate 
<2021-07-05T21:20:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah
<2021-07-05T21:20:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: I probably shouldn't lose it entirely for spiritual reasons
<2021-07-05T21:20:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: I say talking about degenerate fantasies
<2021-07-05T21:21:03.000Z> SerfnUSA: Horny-soul balance is important
<2021-07-05T21:21:15.000Z> SerfnUSA: Being serious with that one
<2021-07-05T21:21:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: “Give it a couple more years” was mostly a joke
<2021-07-05T21:26:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah
<2021-07-05T21:26:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, some guys go way too far with it
<2021-07-05T21:27:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: might be tmi but I do notice a bizarre skeevy feeling 3D p*rn gives me, part of the reason I dropped it
<2021-07-05T21:30:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: I feel the same, I haven’t looked at it in many years. There’s just no way to know if the people involved were trafficked or otherwise forced into it. And even if they weren’t they’re definitely sad broken people living sad broken lives. Who wants to see that? A drawing is always just a drawing. 
<2021-07-05T21:31:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: from an objective pov lust is still not the best direction of mental energy,  but 2D is more or less harmless
<2021-07-05T21:32:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: Chadyes.png
<2021-07-05T21:33:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: coomers: has memorized porn star's namesconnoisseurs of fine art: can recognize hentai artists by style on sight
<2021-07-05T23:01:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: I might be a bit oversensitive to criticism tbh, but I don't really go online to be annoyed by people
<2021-07-05T23:10:24.000Z> SerfnUSA: What is this in reference to?
<2021-07-05T23:11:11.000Z> SerfnUSA: Tho I tend to agree, that’s why I’m on a social site relatively free of shitlibs 
<2021-07-05T23:55:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: poa.st/@tengumatingpress/posts/A8zSsT2bLuvX2cpgfY
<2021-07-05T23:55:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: this
<2021-07-05T23:55:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: in fairness hornypoasts don't really reflect well on me in general
<2021-07-05T23:57:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: feel silly for thinking about it after blocking tbh
<2021-07-06T00:07:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: I made a couple of attempts fune poasts before deciding it was best to delete them and block, which does feel like a lame move
<2021-07-06T00:07:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: guess this is more self-criticism than anything else, wasn't really upset by the words
<2021-07-06T00:23:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: sorry for bringing this up, actually 
<2021-07-06T00:27:48.000Z> SerfnUSA: Oh I’m sorry I missed this I would have had your back
<2021-07-06T00:46:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: nah, not poasting this to call in reinforcements
<2021-07-06T00:47:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: some guys never got anon culture
<2021-07-06T00:50:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: unironically starting to view people upsetting me as good opportunities to practice some things, but that's from a religious pov
<2021-07-06T00:50:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: interesting how concentrating the breath on areas you physically feel an emotion cools it
<2021-07-06T02:12:26.000Z> SerfnUSA: I would have just been horny posting alongside you rather than fighting it out
<2021-07-06T02:12:35.000Z> SerfnUSA: Another way to solve problems
<2021-07-06T02:12:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: coulda been the best horny legionnaire......................................
<2021-07-06T15:08:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: job corps finally responded to me about getting IT training
<2021-07-06T16:48:10.000Z> SerfnUSA: And what’d they say??
<2021-07-06T17:00:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: they'll send stuff to get me started Soon
<2021-07-06T17:01:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: Very nice man, im so pleased to hear this 
<2021-07-06T17:01:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: hopefully it'll pan out, according to the sales pitch they'll hook you up with a job after you finish training
<2021-07-06T17:02:40.000Z> SerfnUSA: Union/company mandated gfs coming soon
<2021-07-06T17:02:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: based
<2021-07-06T17:03:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: I might just move to some eastern european nation if I can get shekels remotely to buy more time
<2021-07-06T17:06:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: Step 1) learn (then master) horse husbandry, Step 2) learn (then master) the bow and the chariot, both the creation of and the use, Step 3) move to the steppe, Step 4) wait for the collapse, Step 5) profit
<2021-07-06T17:08:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: steppe qts are not racemixing because the aryan race is from there anyway
<2021-07-06T17:08:36.000Z> tengumatingpress attached file https://img.poast.org/3aa802786fba4a38834ac45f1043ab099f614347e9a3cd9747cbafe909161317.png
<2021-07-06T17:13:11.000Z> SerfnUSA: Eh they did a bit too much rape and pillaging for their own good most of them are thoroughly mongolized, but you’re right that deep down that Scythian blood still lingers. Thankfully for some it’s still on the surface and more thankfully it’s very easy to tell the difference.
<2021-07-07T14:28:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's still hilarious to me that the text regarding conduct my school urges me to follow doesn't explicitly mention the hands or thighs as inappropriate for sexual use
<2021-07-07T14:29:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: though needless to say I doubt Gampopa would approve of jerking off
<2021-07-07T14:31:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: reading about the varying views on what constitutes sexual misconduct is wild
<2021-07-07T14:31:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: >“Inappropriate time” – at the end of the pregnancy, nursing, one-day vows, sick, more than five times. So, he includes here both masturbation and homosexuality explicitly, but he leaves out when the woman doesn’t want to, and he leaves out beating and force. But he specifies that a prostitute is OK, so long you pay. If you take somebody else’s prostitute without paying, that’s taking what is not given.
<2021-07-07T15:08:46.000Z> SerfnUSA: Pretty based and clearpilled
<2021-07-07T15:09:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm really not good at maintaining forms of ethical conduct 
<2021-07-07T15:09:24.000Z> SerfnUSA: LOL
<2021-07-07T15:09:30.000Z> SerfnUSA: Me too brother me too
<2021-07-07T15:09:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: at least I don't think I'm harming others
<2021-07-07T15:10:22.000Z> SerfnUSA: Lewd anime images heal me so idk
<2021-07-07T15:12:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: not the worst conduct
<2021-07-09T11:47:49.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ve only listened to the one episode of Right Wing Dharma Squads where he rebutted the academics coming after them, are you a regular listener? If so are there any episodes you recommend to a novice like moi?
<2021-07-09T11:51:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: unfortunately they pulled their episodes
<2021-07-09T11:51:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: they've been slowly reuploading though
<2021-07-09T11:51:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think the most explicitly Buddhist episodes that are currently released are the ones on Emptiness, Magic, and U Wirathu
<2021-07-09T11:52:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: rightwingdharmasquads.podbean.com/
<2021-07-09T11:52:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: if you like it, please help bully @DK_Dharmaraj into upping the reupload pace
<2021-07-09T11:52:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: their episodes on California Dharma and Secular "Buddhism" were bangers
<2021-07-09T11:55:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: I couldn’t even begin to guess what U Wirathu is but it’s the first one reuploaded so I suppose I’ll start there. Love magic tho. But not a big fan of emptiness tbh.
<2021-07-09T11:56:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: emptiness/shunyata isn't as nihilistic as it sounds and in fact Buddhist philosophy spends a good amount of time explaining why nihilism is bad
<2021-07-09T11:56:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: I recall one Tibetan polemic saying something like "if you're going to interpret these teachings as nihilism, you'd be better off worshiping demons for all the damage it does to you"
<2021-07-09T11:56:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: the tl;dr is that nothing has an inherent, unchanging essence
<2021-07-09T11:57:16.000Z> SerfnUSA: I do want to hear those two California/secular ones, that’s definitely of interest to me. Comparative (leftist subversion of) religion is why I listened in the first place to his first rebuttal episode. 
<2021-07-09T11:57:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: the classical metaphor is deconstructing a chariot to find where its essence lies
<2021-07-09T11:57:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: now in practical terms, the chariot still exists and you're an actual idiot if you deny it
<2021-07-09T11:58:11.000Z> SerfnUSA: The essence of the chariot is in the soul of the Aryan man, obviously.
<2021-07-09T11:58:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: based
<2021-07-09T11:59:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: their emptiness episode was sort of outmoded by their 10 part series on Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika, which is the text that really explained emptiness/shunyata in philosophical terms
<2021-07-09T12:00:30.000Z> SerfnUSA: How much more successful would Buddhism be in America if those damn Indian names weren’t so out there
<2021-07-09T12:00:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: either the translations use too much Sanskrit/Tibetan or they veer off into wildly stupid claims
<2021-07-09T12:01:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: like the idea the Buddha was essentially Indian Martin Luther
<2021-07-09T12:01:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: which, incidentally, is India's official narrative re Buddhism
<2021-07-09T12:01:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: their entire modern outlook came from Angloid assumptions which is hilarious to me
<2021-07-09T12:02:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: I can recommend some texts from the school I follow, if it helps you understand
<2021-07-09T12:03:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: You mean the natives of the Indian subcontinent fell in line behind the Aryan race that conquered them and adopted all their values even once the leadership stopped being visibly Aryan in their physical racial characteristics? Has this ever happened before in history??? 
<2021-07-09T12:03:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: most of them are commentaries or written by teachers, it's difficult to tell someone to jump into reading sutras because there's a lot of them
<2021-07-09T12:03:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: lol
<2021-07-09T12:04:29.000Z> SerfnUSA: Nah no texts please I don’t have the inclination to read anything but manga and light novels, if I can’t listen to it I don’t have the time of day.
<2021-07-09T12:05:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: Buddhism will only full transmit to the west when a great holy man makes faithful manga adaptations of the texts
<2021-07-09T12:05:19.000Z> SerfnUSA: So it seems, so it seems
<2021-07-09T12:05:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: snek waifus do appear more often than you'd think, hilariously enough
<2021-07-09T12:07:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: even disregarding the tantras
<2021-07-09T12:10:22.000Z> SerfnUSA: Snake demons vis a vis sexuality and reproduction are a big part of western demonology and, depending on how schitzo you want to go, strong subtext for in ancient history, especially pre and immediately post diluvian, and are even implied in the Bible itself. So I actually would expect them to appear pretty often.
<2021-07-09T12:11:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah
<2021-07-09T12:11:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, I don't know how much nagas have in common with western/christian views on that
<2021-07-09T12:12:53.000Z> SerfnUSA: I have to tell you I am highly dubious of any religion that doesn’t vilify snakes
<2021-07-09T12:14:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: well, the majority of nagas are portrayed as hindrances with only a few being willing to convert
<2021-07-09T12:15:21.000Z> SerfnUSA: Acceptable 
<2021-07-09T12:15:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: also>I am highly dubious of any religion that doesn’t vilify snakes https://img.poast.org/80d6241f37f4a7b62879962dea9f6de89d10773b61a0cfdefbfa1a046b13d76c.png
<2021-07-09T12:17:12.000Z> SerfnUSA: I didn’t say they weren’t cute
<2021-07-09T12:18:35.000Z> SerfnUSA: Hell my pfp (and waifu) is a dragon, literally Satan in Christian tradition. I’m able to compartmentalize.
<2021-07-09T12:22:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's interesting how the dragon myth differs across cultures
<2021-07-09T12:23:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: not sure what to make of it
<2021-07-09T12:23:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: though arguably western and eastern dragons aren't equivalent and eastern cultures have legends of dragonslayers regardless
<2021-07-09T12:25:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: unfortunately the main people who discuss these things are spergs online with an obvious agenda
<2021-07-09T12:29:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: I have my suspicions and they are not very kind to eastern cultures so I can keep it to myself
<2021-07-09T12:30:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: I figured
<2021-07-09T12:30:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: yet you enjoy their cartoons and pornography
<2021-07-09T12:30:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: curious!
<2021-07-09T13:20:23.000Z> SerfnUSA: Can't deny good content
<2021-07-09T13:23:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: based
<2021-07-11T20:54:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: might end up becoming a living meme and doing a work study program at this institute by this teacher I deeply admire 
<2021-07-11T21:00:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: Sounds fulfilling 
<2021-07-11T21:26:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, I deeply admire Garchen Rinpoche, he has some interesting stories and good teachings 
<2021-07-11T21:27:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: his experiences in a Chinese work camp were interesting to hear about 
<2021-07-11T23:51:25.000Z> SerfnUSA: What did he do to the Chinese?
<2021-07-11T23:53:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: he got suckered into joining the CIA backed and trained Tibetan uprisings 
<2021-07-11T23:53:56.000Z> SerfnUSA: Wild, that’s a pretty cool life story
<2021-07-11T23:54:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: his biography was fascinating

<2021-07-11T23:59:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: an interview he did once
<2021-07-21T00:11:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: poa.st/@tengumatingpress/posts/A9Ud824k8Wmzw7rO7c
<2021-07-21T00:11:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: this is my finest poast
<2021-08-13T01:31:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: finally got back to watching Symphogear
<2021-08-13T01:31:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: is it just me or is season 2 confusing so far
<2021-08-13T01:32:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: well, more like the pace is too fast and I'm not sure where it's going
<2021-08-13T01:37:18.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ve only seen the first two seasons
<2021-08-13T01:38:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: Don’t remember being too confused but I’d understand 
<2021-08-13T01:39:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: I hope the series picks back up after G tbh
<2021-08-13T01:41:26.000Z> SerfnUSA: I think I remember liking season 2 slightly more than 1. Im waiting to watch them as they come out on bluray 😂 
<2021-08-13T01:43:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: huh
<2021-08-13T01:58:07.000Z> SerfnUSA: The main girls friend being a big whiny brat about main girl being forced to keep things secret from her in the last act really annoyed me, left a bad taste in my mouth for that season
<2021-08-13T02:03:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, Miku was totally unjustifiable there
<2021-08-13T02:03:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: she had an NDA, so why would she assume Hibiki was allowed to talk about it?
<2021-08-23T23:03:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: one day I will stop being a hypocrite re my take on political/religious matters not being suitable in public/mixed company lol
<2021-08-23T23:03:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't even know what my brand is anymore 
<2021-08-23T23:04:05.000Z> SerfnUSA: Nah man it’s all good
<2021-08-23T23:05:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think part of the reason religious debates tend to be fruitless is they usually have radically different definitions of "basic" concepts that can't be proven by third-parties 
<2021-08-23T23:06:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: which is why debates are usually good only for assurance or treating your knowledge, it's usually birth or experience that determines matters of faith 
<2021-08-23T23:14:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: Talking to non-Christians (or “judeo-Christians” aka most of them in America) is like talking to tv watchers or shitlibs. Not to say I disrespect you as much as I do those two groups, just meaning that they have such a wholly unique and profoundly different set of facts that make up their understanding of the world from me that we may as well live in different realities, and consequently trying to convince them to come around to your way of thinking is such an insurmountable task because no one point is compelling on its own so it feels like you need to explain the entire universe at once or none of it will make sense (and vice versea if they are trying to bring me around to their understanding of reality). I’d rather just joke around and move on, saving conversations like that for in-person
<2021-08-23T23:15:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: definitely, not something worth causing disharmony over unless one side is being sanctimonious about it 
<2021-08-23T23:16:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: as show of good faith I won't even be a bitch re the implications of people with differing views essentially living in different realities :^)
<2021-08-23T23:17:24.000Z> SerfnUSA: Wow so kind 
<2021-08-23T23:18:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: something something yogachara something something madhyamaka something Prajnapeepeepoovataramahasamayashastra
<2021-08-23T23:19:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: As a show of good faith here is a nice illustration of Hood, a busty blonde anime girl from Azur Lane https://img.poast.org/34981efa65a29381d90f0ca479b34b964982fe357b67cb5736409e80cdb76be9.jpeg
<2021-08-23T23:22:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: very based
<2021-08-23T23:22:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: this is Graf Zeppelin and her hypothetical daughter, she is German and probably very racist https://img.poast.org/32e2f51da0baf121373b9456b7afac505602330ae7ec1ce9a77a032ce6721767.png
<2021-08-23T23:23:43.000Z> SerfnUSA: That’s my wife and daughter actually yes I love them very much 
<2021-08-23T23:23:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: nice
<2021-08-23T23:24:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: I sure wish Azur Lane wasn't gacha
<2021-08-23T23:24:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: I remember playing the game for a while before I swore off gacha altogether
<2021-08-23T23:24:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ve been playing since day 1, 100% collection and never paid any money on the gatcha 
<2021-08-23T23:26:04.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ve spent plenty on cosmetics, but no gambling, I respect AL enormously for its gatcha rates
<2021-08-23T23:27:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, it's one of the least jewish gachas
<2021-08-23T23:28:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: it just wasn't very fun, you know?
<2021-08-23T23:28:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe I'll reinstall to look at the girls
<2021-08-23T23:29:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: albacore is love albacore is life btw
<2021-08-23T23:29:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: mesugaki submarine
<2021-08-23T23:29:43.000Z> SerfnUSA: Haha yeah I get you. I don’t play it so much as I auto battle and click things while I work, helps pass the time and feel like I’m making progress, and the girls are very very pretty
<2021-08-23T23:30:09.000Z> SerfnUSA: Hate eagle Union but albacore is a snack
<2021-08-23T23:32:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe I burned myself out in the fox mines
<2021-08-23T23:32:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: didn't even drop a single fox after countless runs ;_;
<2021-08-23T23:33:09.000Z> SerfnUSA: Sad!
<2021-08-23T23:33:23.000Z> SerfnUSA: Try counting next time 
<2021-08-23T23:33:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe I'll just stick to the anime, manga, and doujins in the future
<2021-08-23T23:36:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: Really just need the doujins tbh
<2021-08-23T23:36:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: but what if I care about Arc Royale beyond her quest for cunny?
<2021-08-23T23:37:31.000Z> SerfnUSA: Look at nice fanarts and use your imagination 
<2021-08-23T23:37:43.000Z> SerfnUSA: That’s basically What I do for her anyway
<2021-08-23T23:45:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: epic but pride won't let me be a tertiary
<2021-08-30T13:00:19.000Z> SerfnUSA attached file https://img.poast.org/dda060b9dce7fe1878b7941a7d85f74433446b6dec88cbab5a886da9eb948e76.jpeg
<2021-08-30T13:00:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: This was what I wanted to show you
<2021-08-30T13:36:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: Ah, I've seen that 
<2021-08-30T13:36:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: Theologically inaccurate, but fune
<2021-08-30T13:52:56.000Z> SerfnUSA: Okay nerd 
<2021-08-30T14:02:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: I've actually been reading a lot of apologetics and theology lately 
<2021-08-30T14:03:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's been about as productive as you'd expect 
<2021-08-30T14:04:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: the Kalam Cosmological Argument and all of its followups did affirm my view that we really don't have the epistemic equipment to make definitive statements on much of anything tbh
<2021-08-30T14:04:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: word games abound 
<2021-08-30T14:04:49.000Z> SerfnUSA: 👉👌
<2021-08-30T14:05:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: my great dream is to become a mountain hermit someday 
<2021-08-30T14:05:07.000Z> SerfnUSA: Had enough of words
<2021-08-30T14:05:14.000Z> SerfnUSA: Based
<2021-08-30T14:05:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: anime tiddy remains my rock
<2021-08-30T14:05:22.000Z> SerfnUSA: So true!
<2021-08-30T14:05:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: I cannot know the origins of things, the abiding of things, and the cessation of things, but I can know elf tiddy good
<2021-08-30T15:34:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: btw you play anything on Steam?
<2021-08-30T16:48:47.000Z> SerfnUSA: I don’t play anything anymore lol. I occasionally play final fantasies or old fire emblem games on whatever I’ve got them on, I do have a couple on steam I think
<2021-08-30T16:49:06.000Z> SerfnUSA: I play virtually no multiplayer games if that’s what you were getting at
<2021-08-30T17:03:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah, ok
<2021-08-30T17:03:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: probably smart tbh
<2021-08-30T17:03:49.000Z> SerfnUSA: I don’t care for the youths 
<2021-08-30T17:11:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: well hmu if you ever stream something or do anything multiplayer
<2021-08-30T17:57:30.000Z> SerfnUSA: Absolutely 
<2021-08-30T19:23:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: hope this doesn't sound clingy or anything lol, I just enjoy speaking with you
<2021-08-30T19:23:49.000Z> SerfnUSA: Not at all, I was touched
<2021-08-30T19:24:02.000Z> SerfnUSA: earnestly
<2021-08-30T19:24:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: thank you
<2021-08-30T19:28:11.000Z> SerfnUSA: You’re a great guy, if the only good thing that happened to me on fedi was meeting you it would have still been worth it.
<2021-08-30T19:35:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: man, the Fediverse must be awful for you
<2021-08-30T19:36:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: jk thanks for the sentiment
<2021-08-30T19:49:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’m a sentimental guy
<2021-08-30T19:53:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: better than the alternative tbh
<2021-09-03T16:05:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: tbh I used to look down on deliberate irrationalism, but it seems to be the strongest psychic defense mechanism against gay stuff
<2021-09-03T18:38:05.000Z> SerfnUSA: All the most admirably righteous and remarkably contented men that I know are exactly that
<2021-09-03T18:44:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: I officially no longer believe in "science" outside of as a means to develop tools
<2021-09-03T18:44:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: if you're trying to discuss existence without discussing elemental winds and how consciousness rides them, go to hell
<2021-09-04T12:30:25.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s funny right after this exchange I listened to the new myth20c podcast where they talked about platos republic and at some point they were talking about national myths and nick said that almost all of America’s myths are unsalvagable and worthless but the only one that may have some merit is the idea of the American as a savage, and thus Americans should be doubling down on their anti-intellectualism 
<2021-09-04T13:19:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: tbh I firmly believe the Greek's ruined the west for philosophy
<2021-09-04T13:19:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: too much fixation on what's "real" when that's an unanswerable and probably meaningless question lol
<2021-09-04T13:27:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: but I do agree sterile intellectualism is gay
<2021-09-04T13:27:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: was looking back into Less Wrong and Slatestar Codex since I used to run in those circles and it was some of the gayest stuff I've read
<2021-09-04T13:28:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: guys can't even understand the concept of religion/transcendence because it goes against "biological imperatives"
<2021-09-04T13:28:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: which I'd even disagree with from the standpoint of my tradition, but they seem to think of life in the most crudely mechanistic terms possible and yet still see value in internationalist altruism
<2021-09-04T13:29:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: which is probably rational for their social class, ie rootless cosmopolitans in STEM
<2021-09-04T13:37:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: imo one of the great tragedies of western Buddhism is how the west's earliest meaningful exposure was to Theravada/Hinayana as practiced in southeast asia
<2021-09-04T13:37:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: good amount of pathological world-denying there, can't imagine anyone wanting that
<2021-09-04T13:38:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: makes sense these types would be attracted to that
<2021-09-04T13:42:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: I feel like I have to clarify the school I practice in is Vajrayana because it's the most coherent and its endgame isn't turning you catatonic
<2021-09-06T00:30:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: deciding to quit vaping was a mistake 
<2021-09-06T00:30:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: lol
<2021-09-06T00:45:24.000Z> SerfnUSA: I only smoke cigars on New Year’s Day 
<2021-09-06T00:45:39.000Z> SerfnUSA: But vapes are intriguing 
<2021-09-06T00:47:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's probably notas bad for you as smoking
<2021-09-06T00:47:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: but I don't like feeling dependent on it and it's expensive
<2021-09-06T00:47:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: I already miss it
<2021-09-06T00:48:43.000Z> SerfnUSA: Are you married? I like using the new time to do fun things with my wife when I’m trying to break a bad habit
<2021-09-06T00:51:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: no lol
<2021-09-06T00:52:22.000Z> SerfnUSA: Damn 😩
<2021-09-06T00:53:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: Can’t your family arrange something? Buddhists do that sometimes for marriage yeah?
<2021-09-06T00:54:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: I am not Indian 
<2021-09-06T00:58:32.000Z> SerfnUSA: In the net a positive, I should say
<2021-09-06T00:58:51.000Z> SerfnUSA: Speaks well of your behavior in your previous life
<2021-09-06T01:02:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: I as born as a hwite man and didn't remain a libtard, so karmically I can't be that bad
<2021-09-06T01:04:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: You deserve this bread, king https://img.poast.org/51f0b8d83ecfe10442e0458c05d977a123a8f7c9204d90bcfd707fc5e5c1d484.png
<2021-09-06T01:14:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: noticing how bored I am without vaping
<2021-09-06T01:14:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: might be good for my meditation practice, actually
<2021-09-08T18:31:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think I've realized I really needed nicotine to remain functional
<2021-09-08T18:31:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: feeling so weird right now I'm not sure if I need to see a doctor or if I should wait until my nic salt shipment comes in
<2021-09-09T02:57:42.000Z> SerfnUSA: Go to the corner store and get some nicotine gum to tide you over
<2021-09-09T11:09:20.000Z> SerfnUSA: Also it might not be the best time to quit nicotine
<2021-09-09T11:09:25.000Z> SerfnUSA: clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04583410
<2021-09-09T12:54:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: I partially wanted to quit because my family wouldn't stop nagging about how vaping is literally worse than cigarettes or whatever
<2021-09-09T12:54:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: but it's not their money being spent
<2021-09-09T14:10:23.000Z> SerfnUSA: Ah yeah my mom has said that a few times too. Must be something they’re feeding the boomers
<2021-09-09T14:14:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: at this point I really wouldn't care if nicotine literally shortened my lifespan by 50 years
<2021-09-09T14:14:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's the only thing that treats some of my brain problems
<2021-09-09T14:14:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: without even worse side effects
<2021-09-09T14:36:53.000Z> SerfnUSA: Lucky for you it’s not really bad for you 😂 
<2021-09-09T14:40:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: mashallah brother hH
<2021-09-10T20:28:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: nic salts arrived, I'm back to the realm of the living
<2021-09-10T20:53:21.000Z> SerfnUSA: What’s a Buddhist word for mashallah or praise God?
<2021-09-10T21:04:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't think there is
<2021-09-10T21:05:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think some countries say something like "praise the three jewels", but that's more of a cultural thing
<2021-09-10T21:06:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: as a western convert I genuinely feel no dissonance saying stuff like that tbh
<2021-09-10T21:07:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: plus the relationship between buddhism and the idea of a creator god gets really weird in, say, Dzogchen
<2021-09-10T21:07:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: where there are praises to the "all-creating king", which is a poetic description of the primordial nature of mind
<2021-09-10T21:08:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: Chogyal Namkhai Norbu mentioned this, not sure how offensive it is from a christian pov
<2021-09-10T21:08:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: >Most Westerners receive a Christian education and in the Christian tradition God is very diffused. God is recognized as something outside. They don’t know that God is in our real nature. If you have that knowledge and you are reading the bible, you can see there are many words that indicate God means our real nature. But then it developed in a more dualistic way. When they started to say, “the unique God governing all universe”, then it became easy to think God is governing everything. But it does not correspond in the real condition. So it is very important when you follow the Dzogchen Teachings, that you really understand what God means. It is not necessary to wonder if God exists or not. Some people are worried there is no God in Buddhism. In Buddhism there are so many kinds of gods, but Buddhists do not speak of the unique God. The essence of Buddhist teaching is Dzogchen, which is the final teaching of the Buddha Shakyamuni. Through Dzogchen we can really understand what God is and we don’t have to worry if there is a God or not. God always exists as our real nature, the base, for everybody
<2021-09-10T21:09:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: of course this is based on applying Buddhist hermeneutics to the Bible
<2021-09-10T21:10:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: if you can I'd recommend receiving Dzogchen instructions, the guys teaching it are generally lax about stuff like that
<2021-09-10T21:11:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: noticing some parallels between it and William Blake's view of the Bible 
<2021-09-10T21:11:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'd recommend reading ChNN's book the Supreme Source, which explains the general gist of Dzogchen and has some translated bits of the All-Creating King tantra
<2021-09-10T21:17:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: melong.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/TheMirror108.pdf
<2021-09-10T21:17:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: this is the source of the quote btw, article starts on page 2
<2021-09-10T21:23:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: >What is your attitude towards Jesus Christ?>I don’t know what my attitude is, but I consider him an enlightened being.
<2021-09-10T21:23:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: CHNN was an interesting man
<2021-09-10T22:35:03.000Z> SerfnUSA: That bit that started with “>Most Westerners…” reads as very gnostic/luciferian/satanic(read:jewish), not my bag 😤✋
<2021-09-10T22:37:07.000Z> SerfnUSA: Maybe that’s part of an answer to my longtime question of “why do so many Jews in America convert to Buddhism”
<2021-09-10T22:37:22.000Z> SerfnUSA: Something’s there for em
<2021-09-10T22:37:41.000Z> SerfnUSA: But of course the Buddha was an Aryan man so 🤷🏻‍♂️
<2021-09-10T22:38:34.000Z> SerfnUSA: “I’ve got a couple of jewels for ya!” Is all I really wanted to say
<2021-09-10T22:39:03.000Z> SerfnUSA: Imagine we are talking in person and I threateningly grabbed my crotch 
<2021-09-10T22:54:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: tbh I'm somewhat sympathetic to jews that realize their religion is narcissistic garbage
<2021-09-10T22:55:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't know much about kabbalah, but it seems tantric buddhism completes the system in a satisfying way
<2021-09-10T22:55:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: part of the reason I respect it is it actually wrangled mysticism into a coherent system
<2021-09-10T22:56:08.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’d be more sympathetic if they didn’t proceed to try and turn their new religions into Judaism 2 virtually every time
<2021-09-10T22:56:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: there are a few in my community that actually did take it seriously and present it in a satisfying way
<2021-09-10T22:56:51.000Z> SerfnUSA: Hmm
<2021-09-10T22:57:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: one of my community's more prominent lay assistants has a jewish surname and is entirely orthodox in it, completed the required training, etc
<2021-09-10T22:57:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: the jews that distort the dharma don't go through that training
<2021-09-10T22:57:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: they just cozy up to important figures and veer off into teaching essentially psychology with a mystical veneer
<2021-09-10T22:58:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: I mean, surely you wouldn't have a problem with a jew that converts to Christianity, takes it seriously, even becomes a priest that teaches in an entirely orthodox manner
<2021-09-10T22:58:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: assuming you're catholic, right?
<2021-09-10T23:00:01.000Z> SerfnUSA: Methodist 
<2021-09-10T23:00:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: also re gnosticism, I think an important distinction vis-a-vis Vajrayana is there isn't the assumption the material world is inherently wicked/flawed/etc
<2021-09-10T23:00:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: one of the major tantric vows is to not see the body as impure, unclean, etc
<2021-09-10T23:00:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: I will admit the lower vehicles do have very gnostic world-denying elements
<2021-09-10T23:01:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: if those were the only Buddhisms available I'd write off the religion, albeit admitting some of its philosophy has merit
<2021-09-10T23:02:01.000Z> SerfnUSA: Though the more I read scripture the more I feel like Catholicism is correct. But honestly at this point I’d take any church that worships neither faggots nor Israel 
<2021-09-10T23:02:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: I had a brief flirtation with Orthodox Christianity, I respect them a lot
<2021-09-10T23:02:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: I did attend a traditional latin mass and got absolutely nothing out of it
<2021-09-10T23:02:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s the “God is our nature” bit that troubled me the most btw
<2021-09-10T23:03:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: I mean, that's not exactly unprecedented among Christian mystics
<2021-09-10T23:03:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: isn't part of the doctrine that man has a divine nature?
<2021-09-10T23:03:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: or a spark of it
<2021-09-10T23:03:35.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s satanic there too lol
<2021-09-10T23:03:46.000Z> SerfnUSA: Nah that’s all Gnosticism 
<2021-09-10T23:03:53.000Z> SerfnUSA: Sparks and shit
<2021-09-10T23:04:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm sure Catholics and Orthodox would be very surprised to hear their saints were crypto-Satanists for noticing some things while spending weeks in prayer
<2021-09-10T23:05:01.000Z> SerfnUSA: We are made in the image of God, but Christ is the only divine human
<2021-09-10T23:05:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: I may have misinterpreted some things, then
<2021-09-10T23:05:49.000Z> SerfnUSA: Possibly 
<2021-09-10T23:06:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm positive that's part of Orthodox metaphysics, at least the possibility of sharing in God's nature in Heaven
<2021-09-10T23:07:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: orthodoxwiki.org/Theosis
<2021-09-10T23:07:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: >The statement by St. Athanasius of Alexandria, "The Son of God became man, that we might become god", [the second g is always lowercase since man can never become a God] indicates the concept beautifully. II Peter 1:4 says that we have become " . . . partakers of divine nature." Athanasius amplifies the meaning of this verse when he says theosis is "becoming by grace what God is by nature" (De Incarnatione, I). What would otherwise seem absurd, that fallen, sinful man may become holy as God is holy, has been made possible through Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate. Naturally, the crucial Christian assertion, that God is One, sets an absolute limit on the meaning of theosis - it is not possible for any created being to become, ontologically, God or even another god. 
<2021-09-10T23:07:30.000Z> SerfnUSA: Oh yes after resurrection or in heaven sure sure
<2021-09-10T23:07:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: there's probably a reason I feel the most kinship with the Orthodox
<2021-09-10T23:08:27.000Z> SerfnUSA: But never being here on earth in this life thinking “I am god” or “I have the nature of God in me”
<2021-09-10T23:09:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: come to think of it, I'm curious about traditional interpretations of Luke 17:21
<2021-09-10T23:09:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: >Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
<2021-09-10T23:10:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't really like discussing this in public because my interpretation of many aspects are probably considered grossly heretical
<2021-09-10T23:10:25.000Z> SerfnUSA: I think that’s more about shaking off the old Jewish idea that they were going to have a messiah that literally conquers the world for them 
<2021-09-10T23:11:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's almost a shame much of the early church's writings have been suppressed following multiple flame wars during the ecumenical councils
<2021-09-10T23:11:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: And you’re not a Christian so none of this is heretical coming frlm
<2021-09-10T23:11:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah
<2021-09-10T23:11:52.000Z> SerfnUSA: *from you
<2021-09-10T23:13:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't know if this is a very backhanded olive branch because the parts I admire the most tend to be the controversial parts
<2021-09-10T23:14:47.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ve liked what little I’ve looked at of orthodoxy but with no orthodox communities nearby I don’t see the point. I’d rather worship among mostly theologically correct people my wife and kids can have a community with than be fully theologically correct by myself on the internet 
<2021-09-10T23:15:34.000Z> SerfnUSA: I mean I’m mostly into the weird esoteric antediluvian nephilim shit so I’m not judging 
<2021-09-10T23:18:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, religion can't be a solitary activity 
<2021-09-10T23:18:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: even the great lay yogis had teachers and communities
<2021-09-10T23:19:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: have a dank vajrayana maymay https://img.poast.org/4b8ecf5c33f3f0e1bdc7d1dbd39af34d7c0584841e45bcc1c003515674c752c0.png

<2021-09-10T23:33:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: Going for a nice evening walk now but I have more religious thoughts I’ll opine here in a bit 
<2021-09-10T23:34:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: enjoy your walk, and I'm curious
<2021-09-10T23:34:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't really get the opportunity to discuss this very often lol
<2021-09-10T23:34:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: in a way I'd enjoy discussing it, anyway
<2021-09-11T00:36:57.000Z> SerfnUSA: So my dad has a streak of that old school anti catholic fire in him and will often go on rants about how they’re all really idolaters because they’re really worshipping and praying to Mary or their saints or the Pope or what have you, and that always felt a little wrong because none of the (white) Catholics I knew worshipped anything but the trinity. But then I got older and moved out of my little white rural town and met Hispanics and realized that all these Mexican stores sell 10 Mary candles for every 1 Christ one. Still later I became race aware and realized that, yeah there’s no way the vast majority of these people have the iq to understand the difference between praying for intercession of saints/Mary and just praying to these saints, they are functionally still just shamanistic tribesmen even if that’s not what the official doctrine of what the church they ostensibly follow says. But santa muerte was the really big recent redpill for me that has me becoming convinced that blood has more power over religion than anything else, and I’m seeing it everywhere. Despite centuries of Catholicism at least a fifth of Mexicans and counting have reverted back to demon worshipping death cultists of pre Colombian contact (or maybe meinsweeper is right in this case and it’s the corn making all of us cursed), Buddhism didn’t take off in the low IQ Dravidians of its native lands but in the high IQ East Asians and later on in Aryans and high IQ semites. Speaking of, some of those semites have never been able to stop reverting to worshipping that golden calf, which is why I am quite convinced that even if those ones in your Buddhist club are totally genuine about their conversion that their children or grandchildren, without extreme discipline, will revert to subversive parasites eating your faith alive from inside. Aryan man all over the ancient Mediterranean and near East were being drawn away from polytheistic paganism towards the monotheistic truth well before Christ came and gave it proper form (though certain aspects of the pagan soul live on, a few years ago my mother erected what is in all but name a small family shrine to her departed ancestors), conversely Africans and low caste Indians have never been able to truly be converted to either Christianity or Islam, perpetually stuck with talismans and spells and magic and tribal gods just with Christian or Muslim words thrown in depending on the region or proclivities of the last missionary who gave it their all. I don’t know what this means for  universalism of faith, perhaps it’s like you admiring the jews who can acknowledge and turn their back on the evil faith of their blood one must admire any non-Aryan people who come to truly know Christ because they had to overcome much more than I did, but also acknowledge the likely tragedy of their progeny regressing. 
<2021-09-11T00:37:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: tbh historically religion at the folk level has been like that
<2021-09-11T00:38:27.000Z> SerfnUSA: Blood sacrificing demon worship?
<2021-09-11T00:39:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: I mean in the sense that they don't really understand the finer points of theology and end up following a distorted form
<2021-09-11T00:39:29.000Z> SerfnUSA: Right right
<2021-09-11T00:39:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm not going to claim there's any correspondence between, say, chinese folk religion, most european paganism, and santa muerte worship
<2021-09-11T00:40:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: just that historically peasants from all over have not seen the saints as just holy men who can put a word out for them or Buddhas/Bodhisatvas as anything but a reflection of their natures
<2021-09-11T00:40:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: anyway re universalism especially  from a Christian pov where there is only one life where you get eternal paradise or misery afterwards, the idea of people being created unable to really share in eternal paradise doesn't really gel
<2021-09-11T00:41:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: unless you're a Calvinist that can accept an allpowerful being that deliberately creates those who will certainly be damned
<2021-09-11T00:42:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: though that does seem like the logical outcome of an omnipotent creator
<2021-09-11T00:43:32.000Z> SerfnUSA: >Logic 🤢
<2021-09-11T00:43:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: there are many aspects of christian theology I've never really been able to reconcile
<2021-09-11T00:45:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: having said all that:
<2021-09-11T00:45:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: >some of those semites have never been able to stop reverting to worshipping that golden calf, which is why I am quite convinced that even if those ones in your Buddhist club are totally genuine about their conversion that their children or grandchildren, without extreme discipline, will revert to subversive parasites eating your faith alive from inside.
<2021-09-11T00:45:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: this is why I''d never accept a jewish teacher tbh
<2021-09-11T00:46:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm ok with jewish laymen, but if they have a position of authority I'll be keeping a sharp lookout for any signs of deviation
<2021-09-11T01:09:13.000Z> SerfnUSA: I found Job to be the most enlightening book of the Old Testament, maybe the whole thing since I think about it the most often. Job wonders why so much injustice happened to him when he didn’t do anything wrong in page after page of solemn poetic dialogue, before God shows up in the last few chapters to admonish Job for not remembering how insignificant he is. we don’t owe an insect an explanation for why we kill it for crossing the threshold into our house if for no other reason than it cant understand our words much less the ideas of crossings and thresholds and houses. We are not God nor can we understand His mind and this is, I believe, one of the hard breaks between people who can accept their status as mortal men who are inferior to their creator and choose to have faith and those who cannot accept reality and want to fight God and become like gods who know everything. It’s both the original sin and the sin that most greatly plagues the world today as it is the foundation of both Judaism and liberalism. I choose to be like Job and accept that God is greater than I can comprehend rather than the like the rabbis who spit in His face for not being what they considered fair and start worshipping themselves instead. for all I know He has a plan to save all the people who never were physically or mentally able to know Him over the millennia but if He had told us we wouldn’t have struggled to spread the gospel and wound up as some hyper gay cross between Calvinists and Unitarians. Probably not tho, it’s probably something I can’t comprehend because I was able to think of that and my thoughts are really very small in the grand scheme of things. It’s maybe not very Faustian of me but I’m content to not have to think I need to logic and will my own salvation or that of anyone else.
<2021-09-11T01:19:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: I see
<2021-09-11T01:19:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: incidentally, I just learned you aren't supposed to use high nic salts in sub ohm vapes
<2021-09-11T01:19:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: which I've been doing
<2021-09-11T01:19:56.000Z> SerfnUSA: Did you learn the hard way?
<2021-09-11T01:26:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: I haven't felt anything bad from it yet 
<2021-09-11T01:26:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm now wondering if I'm making a terrible mistake though 
<2021-09-11T01:28:36.000Z> SerfnUSA: It could be a divine mistake
<2021-09-11T01:28:43.000Z> SerfnUSA: Opening your third eye
<2021-09-11T01:28:51.000Z> SerfnUSA: The nicotine eye

<2021-09-11T01:30:08.000Z> SerfnUSA: A s c e n d
<2021-09-11T18:06:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: incidentally, don't let anyone tell you Buddhist institutions are beyond reproach compared to hinduism, catholicism, etc
<2021-09-11T18:06:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: there's been some awful stuff going on there, including suppressing very high teachings for political reason
<2021-09-11T18:06:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: Dzogchen in particular was thoroughly suppressed by the monastic institution for centuries
<2021-09-11T18:06:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: > I think it has more to do with the fact that Dzogchen tantras themselves utterly dimisses the cause/result approach to awakening; whereas Buddhism is heavily invested in the cause/result paradigm and has an entire intellectual and institutional edifice dedicated to preserving it at any cost. So therefore, the standard line you often get is "Dzogchen is a practice for Buddhas...." and so on. Dzogchen tantras completely toss out the whole conditioned merit making thing on its ear, for example -- and this is not good for the enterprise of gilding statues. If you tell people they will never attain awakening through making donations to monasteries, they might think twice before giving at the office. Dzogchen goes much further than tathāgatagarbha theory. Vimalamitra states:
<2021-09-11T18:07:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: > Hey, Son of a good family, listen up! The one who is “free from virtue and sin” in the conventions of the natural great perfection are yogis who see the meaning of their own vidyā. That vidyā is connected with the intimate instructions of the Guru. If that is not demonstrated, a scholarly paṇḍita trained in tripitika will not know even a fragment of a subtle particle split into one hundred thousand pieces of the meaning. That being so, it is called “depending on the method of secret mantra”.
<2021-09-11T18:07:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: forgot the quote
<2021-09-11T18:11:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: what I've learned from my reading of its history: Buddhism degenerates hard when its institutions are healthy

<2021-09-17T00:03:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: Been playing pixel remaster of ffiv and it’s a real blast from the past. Loved that game growing up.
<2021-09-17T00:08:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: pixel remaster?
<2021-09-17T00:08:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: is it a fan project?
<2021-09-17T01:55:20.000Z> SerfnUSA: Official
<2021-09-17T01:55:26.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s on steam 
<2021-09-17T13:56:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: huh
<2021-09-17T14:11:52.000Z> SerfnUSA: More importantly, how are you and what are you up to?
<2021-09-17T14:15:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: eh, same as usuall
<2021-09-17T14:15:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: back to looking for jobs since the job corps is taking its sweet time
<2021-09-17T16:18:05.000Z> SerfnUSA: Are there no co-religionists in your community that own businesses and could hook you up?
<2021-09-17T16:26:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: we have to meet through zoom even before that it was a pretty fragmented community that met through a center in the region
<2021-09-17T16:26:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe when this nonsense passes I'll try establishing a local practice group
<2021-09-17T16:27:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: incidentally, now that boomers are starting to die off, apparently mexicans are getting really into Tibetan Buddhism
<2021-09-17T16:27:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: it must be the aesthetics
<2021-09-17T16:28:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: one guy I've received teachings from has mentioned his plan to build 108 stupas in Mexico because he's concluded the land is cursed
<2021-09-17T16:37:32.000Z> SerfnUSA: Good fucking luck, catholics have been trying to purify that cursed soil for 500 years. That demonic blood poison soaked deep
<2021-09-17T16:39:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: gut feeling says it might be a better fit for them, but who knows
<2021-09-17T16:39:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: the churches in my area are also closed btw
<2021-09-17T16:40:14.000Z> SerfnUSA: Not even talking about the population just the land itself
<2021-09-17T16:40:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah, right
<2021-09-17T16:40:27.000Z> SerfnUSA: Cursed soil
<2021-09-17T16:40:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, 108 stupas sounds like a good start at best
<2021-09-17T16:40:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: realistically you'd need a Padmasambhava to personally go out and tame the demons infesting the land
<2021-09-17T16:41:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: according to the stories, before Buddhism came to Tibet they were a race of cannibalistic demon worshipers, so Padmasambhava/Guru Rinpoche arrived to teach and after he was done with that he assumed different forms to kill or convert the demons of the land
<2021-09-17T16:42:02.000Z> SerfnUSA: Hmm
<2021-09-17T16:42:09.000Z> SerfnUSA: Compelling
<2021-09-17T16:42:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: no clue how true it is, but according to Chinese sources they did practice animal & human sacrifices during the 5th century
<2021-09-17T16:43:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: DK's avatar is a statue of Padmasambhava btw
<2021-09-17T16:43:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: the stories around his life are very interesting
<2021-09-17T16:44:12.000Z> SerfnUSA: I'm willing to believe any pagan ancients were doing demonic worship/cannibalism but I'm not willing to believe any Chinese sources on anything so it's a wash for me
<2021-09-17T16:46:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: this actually comes up a lot in polemics against Yungdrung Bon, which is effectively Tibetans we wuzzing Buddhism
<2021-09-17T16:46:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: their narrative is they were actually taught by a previous Buddha from the kingdom of Zhangzhung thousands of years ago, but overtime the teachings degenerated into demon worship and crude shamanism
<2021-09-17T16:47:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: so the standard rejoinder from mainstream Buddhists is "if your doctrine can degenerate into that, clearly it was false from the beginning"
<2021-09-17T16:47:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm sympathetic to YB guys because I've received teachings from them and there's really nothing distinguishing the views and practices, even the Dalai Lama said they were legit in recent years
<2021-09-17T16:50:07.000Z> SerfnUSA: Even the most legitimate teachings degenerate over time, especially if the population isn't Aryan or has an Aryan descended top caste
<2021-09-17T16:50:18.000Z> SerfnUSA: Not sure if this is true in Tibet 
<2021-09-17T16:50:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: you joke, but Zhangzhung was almost certainly an Aryan land
<2021-09-17T16:50:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: that's part of the logic behind the terma tradition, actuallyl
<2021-09-17T16:50:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: 100% not joking
<2021-09-17T16:51:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: the stories say Padmasambhava realized all teachings degenerate over time, so he gave many secret teachings to his chief consort and had her hide them in the world, to be uncovered later through dreams, visions, etc
<2021-09-17T16:51:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: so there's a steady stream of fresh, uncorrupted teachings
<2021-09-17T16:51:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: this is mostly a Nyingma, Bon, and to a lesser extent Kagyu thing though
<2021-09-17T16:51:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: The teachings degenerating hand in hand with the blood of the population degenerating makes perfect sense if true
<2021-09-17T16:52:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: the Gelugs in particular reject it entirely, but that's an entire rabbithole
<2021-09-17T16:52:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: the Gelugs are gay
<2021-09-17T16:52:24.000Z> SerfnUSA: Gay lugs
<2021-09-17T16:52:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: poa.st/@DK_Dharmaraj/posts/ABQoBj8Sotpwek7HP6
<2021-09-17T16:52:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: this is objectively true
<2021-09-17T16:53:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: the Gelugs also believe in renunciation over tantra and the latter teachings are only suitable for the highest monks
<2021-09-17T16:53:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: when the tantras were always meant for non-renunciates
<2021-09-17T16:53:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: one of them even said it's for people with very little religious instinct

<2021-09-17T16:58:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: there's a lot of this, forgive me for sperging
<2021-09-17T17:12:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: No need for forgiveness 
<2021-09-18T00:18:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: considering changing my daily feet & meditation poast to Ligmincha's meditation course, it probably teaches a better method and goes into more detailed energy work that helps it
<2021-09-18T00:18:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: unfortunately you have to make an account, but it's free
<2021-09-18T00:24:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: I respect Bon guys a lot for being more willing to go directly into teaching the more advanced tantric/meditational stuff instead of focusing so much on ethics, compassion, and other gay stuff
<2021-09-19T21:15:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: sowarigpainstitute.org/sowa-rigpa-practitioner
<2021-09-19T21:15:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: I might become a living meme and do this 
<2021-09-19T21:16:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: Sounds worthier than retail or computer stuff
<2021-09-20T00:56:35.000Z> SerfnUSA: As long as it pays I’d love to be a meme for a living
<2021-09-20T01:15:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: yep
<2021-09-20T01:15:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: huwhite Tibetan medicine practitioner 
<2021-09-20T17:11:37.000Z> SerfnUSA: Honestly unless you’re just copying and pasting all these monstrously long and convoluted south Asian names from a document you have saved (in which case I still admire your industriousness) you’ve proper earned your status as an honorary spiritual central/south asiatic just from the Herculean task of committing the spelling (and presumably pronunciation) of all these ghastly words to memory.
<2021-09-20T17:12:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: official asian tier list:
<2021-09-20T17:12:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: central asian > east asian >>>>> south asian > SEAmonkeys
<2021-09-20T17:12:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: be thankful I'm not autistic enough to subject you to Wylie transliteration
<2021-09-20T17:13:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: gelug properly transliterated would be dGe-Lugs
<2021-09-20T17:13:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: there's some weird stuff going on in transliteration because the language changed over time, but the writing system didn't
<2021-09-20T17:14:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: so the "proper" transliteration is actually unhelpful when you're trying to pronounce it
<2021-09-20T17:15:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: I actually am trying to learn Tibetan
<2021-09-20T17:16:59.000Z> SerfnUSA: Official tier list in other words: mostly Aryan > honorary Aryan >>>>> dravidians > honorary negroids
<2021-09-20T17:17:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: India was good once
<2021-09-20T17:17:29.000Z> SerfnUSA: India was Aryan once, yeah
<2021-09-20T17:17:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: note well the degeneration completed after Buddhism became marginalized in India because of Hindu persecution and Muslim invaders
<2021-09-20T17:17:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: though it sort of survived in the fringes, usually around Shaivites
<2021-09-20T17:18:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: there was a good deal of hybridization with Kashmiri Shaivism and that's what started tantric Buddhism
<2021-09-20T17:19:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: Do you read any manga?
<2021-09-20T17:20:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: honestly I prefer manga to anime
<2021-09-20T17:20:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: read Rosen Garten Saga btw
<2021-09-20T17:20:08.000Z> SerfnUSA: King
<2021-09-20T17:20:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: you read RGS?
<2021-09-20T17:23:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think I'll reread Pokemon Special, I dropped it a while ago and am getting nostalgic
<2021-09-20T17:23:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: plus given the current state of the series I'm allowed to be a secondary
<2021-09-20T17:24:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: I think you’d like A Brides Story/Otoyomegatari. It’s a very beautifully drawn and comfy depiction of life in Central Asia in the 19th century. They’re Muslim not Buddhist but I think you’d still enjoy the time and place and kind of life depicted. 
<2021-09-20T17:25:07.000Z> SerfnUSA: Read RGS? I’ve never even heard of it. I’ll add it to my to read list tho.
<2021-09-20T17:25:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: oh yeah, I think I've heard of it
<2021-09-20T17:25:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: /ss/ + nomad
<2021-09-20T17:25:54.000Z> SerfnUSA: That jargon is over my head unfortunately 
<2021-09-20T17:26:03.000Z> SerfnUSA: Well I know what a nomad is
<2021-09-20T17:30:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: /ss/ = straight shota
<2021-09-20T17:30:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's a reference to Starting Strength + Gallon Of Milk A Day, which is a popular program for beginning scrawny lifters
<2021-09-20T17:30:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: commonly abbreviated as SS + GOMAD
<2021-09-20T17:31:08.000Z> SerfnUSA: Oooh
<2021-09-20T17:31:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: wasn't the prince guy like 10 years old?
<2021-09-20T17:32:37.000Z> SerfnUSA: He’s like 13, and not a prince and unfortunately they aren’t fucking till he’s older
<2021-09-20T17:32:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: laaaaaaaaaaaaame
<2021-09-20T17:32:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: I assume there are no doujins
<2021-09-20T17:32:57.000Z> SerfnUSA: Tfw so trad you’re too trad 
<2021-09-20T17:33:08.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ve not actually looked
<2021-09-20T17:33:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: r63 Islam manga
<2021-09-20T17:33:22.000Z> SerfnUSA: Powerful
<2021-09-20T17:33:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: some crazy warlord (female)'s vindictive quest for her shota husbando
<2021-09-20T17:33:36.000Z> SerfnUSA: 👁👁
<2021-09-20T17:33:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: unironically it would make a pretty rad harem anime
<2021-09-21T22:41:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: read William Blake https://img.poast.org/673a59c6ae0bc9ef26c5c1060257614962076579dad31291862076bd7c1fd136.png
<2021-09-21T22:41:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's funny how his writings ended up reading like a western Vajrayana at points
<2021-09-25T21:14:12.000Z> SerfnUSA: My wife suddenly developed a serious complication with her pregnancy and had to give birth very very prematurely, but she and baby are both doing very well now, it’s a real blessing.
<2021-09-25T22:07:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm glad nothing too bad happened 
<2021-09-25T22:08:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: I assume they'll be hospitalized for a while, premature births are definitely survivable but it's rough, I've heard
<2021-09-25T22:11:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: bad shit's been happening to a lot of my friends lately 
<2021-10-16T00:06:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: is everything good on your end?
<2021-10-16T02:23:26.000Z> SerfnUSA: Life is great my friend
<2021-10-16T12:23:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: good to hear
<2021-11-01T23:54:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: >get old Thinkpad>buy an SSD and more RAM to make it run better>some things aren't screwing in completely >accidentally ram an internal screw through the speakers>chimp out and break the keyboard 
<2021-11-01T23:54:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: JUST
<2021-11-01T23:54:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: I probably shouldn't admit this 
<2021-11-01T23:54:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: it was cheap anyway, I'll try again on something else 
<2021-11-01T23:55:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think real Aryans don't value the lives of their slaves and will destroy them for disobedience 
<2021-11-02T01:34:14.000Z> SerfnUSA: LOL are these two ideas connected?
<2021-11-02T01:36:18.000Z> SerfnUSA: In any case the Aryan man has historically been the least cruel to lesser races of anyone. We’re too nice to our servants. Otherwise India and China and probably central and South America would be White today, not to mention the USA
<2021-11-02T01:36:24.000Z> SerfnUSA: Too much bloody empathy 
<2021-11-02T12:00:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm just coping
<2021-11-02T12:34:13.000Z> SerfnUSA: I took this picture when I went to the park yesterday. When things like this get you down go spend some time in nature, or at least contemplate it. That’s what I do. https://img.poast.org/89a7a43fff2aa3608839233aa10d852eea71579c8f11d5d47906fe48cf22bea3.jpeg
<2021-11-02T15:03:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: always feel awful this time of year tbh
<2021-11-02T15:03:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: need to move somewhere sunny year round
<2021-11-02T15:49:06.000Z> SerfnUSA: Not very hyperborean of you tbh
<2021-11-02T15:49:40.000Z> SerfnUSA: I love cloudy autumn days most of all, but winter is lovely too, especially when you’ve got a real fire to sit beside
<2021-11-02T16:11:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm not sure if seasonal depression is real, but it feels like it sometimes
<2021-11-02T16:15:03.000Z> SerfnUSA: My wife used to get it when she was on BC but she doesn’t anymore. Make of that what you will. I do think it’s real regardless, probably a sunlight thing.
<2021-11-02T16:42:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah
<2021-11-02T16:42:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: tropical aryan subrace
<2021-11-02T16:42:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: also, that laptop I was talking about earlier actually still works, the power supply just came in
<2021-11-02T16:42:45.000Z> SerfnUSA: Hell yeah brother HH
<2021-11-02T16:42:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm still putting an order out for another one to be used as a daily driver, but I think I'm going to convert it to a home server so I can keep my anime there instead of having it take most of my storage space
<2021-11-02T16:43:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: old thinkpad build quality isn't a meme
<2021-11-02T16:43:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: it can even survive righteous aryan indignation
<2021-11-02T16:44:46.000Z> SerfnUSA: All machines go to hell but thinkpads are honorary Aryans
<2021-11-02T16:53:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: I am going to singlehandedly destroy the anniemay streaming industry by simply having a home server with a wider yet better-curated hoard than anything they hav
<2021-11-02T16:55:35.000Z> SerfnUSA: Inshallah brother
<2021-11-21T16:47:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: >vape supplier is having issues getting juice intime to go back into withdrawals
<2021-11-21T16:47:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: think when supply is an option again I'll taper back down to 3mg juice
<2021-11-21T16:48:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: or maybe just quit altogether, vaguely worried about wound healing troubles with nicotine, though apparently it's a tad overstated
<2021-11-21T16:49:36.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’m unfamiliar with this supposed phenomenon 
<2021-11-21T16:56:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, ie it tightens blood vessels, which makes it more difficult for blood to travel
<2021-11-21T16:56:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: so it slows down healing
<2021-11-21T17:30:42.000Z> SerfnUSA: Alternatively the tightening of your blood vessels can make your blood work harder and with all those gains they become even stronger and this better at healing 
<2021-11-21T17:30:56.000Z> SerfnUSA: Thus*
<2021-11-21T17:31:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: based
<2021-11-25T16:01:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: lol my sister caught me watching a hololive and is fuming over it 
<2021-11-25T16:01:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: "use your real face reeeeeee"
<2021-11-25T16:08:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: and complaining about u realistically big tits or attractive girls 
<2021-11-25T16:08:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: the meme is true 
<2021-11-25T16:42:15.000Z> SerfnUSA: 3D thots on suicide watch
<2021-11-29T02:00:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: learned something fucked up 
<2021-11-29T02:00:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: my dad was military and got blackballed for refusing to join a swinger group 
<2021-11-29T02:00:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: got the absolute shittiest assignments and his career was railroaded 
<2021-11-29T02:02:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: not sure if I should go "public" with this 
<2021-11-29T02:02:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: be sure to not let any of your friends join the military btw
<2021-11-29T05:37:25.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ve heard stories of blackballing and stories of swinging/cuckoldry being so common in the military that it’s nearly ubiquitous but I don’t think I’ve ever heard the two tales hand in hand. Makes perfect sense though.
<2021-11-29T13:06:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: Family's been debating on whether we should go public with this 
<2021-11-29T13:06:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: Since the guys involved were very high profile 
<2021-11-29T16:39:04.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s a tough call, truth and justice vs the safety of your family. I hope they pick the former but I’d probably pick the latter if i was in that situation 
<2021-12-17T23:46:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: Family invited me to go to Disney world in February 
<2021-12-17T23:46:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: Not sure if I should livepoast the poz or just stay quiet to maintain optics 
<2021-12-18T00:01:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: Already noticing some shit that isn't really pozzed, but it is absolutely inane 
<2021-12-18T00:01:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: Like needing an app to schedule priority spots in queues a month ahead of time, all reservations for eating handled through the app, and paying more money a day to skip lines even more
<2021-12-18T00:02:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: Haven't been to Disneyland in years, but I don't remember shit being so weirdly autistic 
<2021-12-18T01:44:05.000Z> SerfnUSA: You should loudly explain to your family how everything that sucks would have been based if Hitler was in charge 
<2021-12-18T01:44:32.000Z> SerfnUSA: For real though you could definitely live poast about it, you’d have plenty of time with all the line waiting 
<2021-12-18T03:19:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: "man it sure is funny how after Jews took over everything that's been built has been derivative and gay"
<2021-12-18T03:20:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: White people: New Orleans Square Jewish "people*: Star Wars Land 
<2021-12-18T03:23:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: This is am unironic opinion of mine btw
<2021-12-18T03:24:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: I feel gay for praising Disney anything, but Disneyland was genuinely well designed and cozy, but they lost all the competent people and focused more on IP-based shit 
<2021-12-18T03:24:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: Their beat attractions weren't relates to established films 
<2021-12-18T03:25:39.000Z> SerfnUSA: Jews have exactly one good creative skill: they can write some catchy songs. Everything else they try is dismal. 
<2021-12-18T03:27:21.000Z> SerfnUSA: Walt was a true visionary, all the early stuff is great and Disneyland was actually something special before the kikes took over. 
<2021-12-18T03:27:51.000Z> SerfnUSA: Bambi is one of my favorite films, if you haven’t seen it since you were a kid give it a watch sometime.
<2021-12-18T14:06:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think I will 
<2021-12-18T14:06:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: In general early Disney was fantastic 
<2021-12-18T14:06:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: Fantasia, Sleeping Beauty, and Alice in Wonderland were always my favorites 
<2021-12-20T17:52:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: Final update re the magazines Galko man imported: apparently the material itself is still considered "legal" in Germany but "harmful to children"
<2021-12-20T17:53:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: Because apparently some people didn't give total permission to be photographed?
<2021-12-20T17:53:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: The law's weird but Galko Man is probably fucked because Japan takes importing that sort of thing very seriously, so it won't be like Watsuki getting slapped with a fine and returning to Rurouni Kenshin
<2021-12-20T17:54:30.000Z> SerfnUSA: >only some of the children consented 
<2021-12-20T17:57:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: Technically there's nothing harmful about it, but the sort of people who'd produce it are sketchy at best 
<2021-12-20T18:05:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: I hope I don't sound like I'm stepping up to bat for them lol 
<2021-12-20T18:07:09.000Z> SerfnUSA: No I’m willing to give a lot more benefit of the doubt/nuance/cultural differences etc and not just because I love Galko 
<2021-12-20T21:38:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: Hope this isn't overly personal, but life hasn't been going so well lately, any good anime, vids, games, whatever to rec?
<2021-12-21T00:46:37.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’m so sorry to hear that friend. I’m not sure if I’d dare to recommend vidya to a tastemaker like you but I’ll just say I’ve been replaying my favorite game, xenoblade 2, recently and boy am I having a blast, but I also can swap with my wife and she liked the more feminine aspects of the game (I hunt, she gathers, you understand). I poasted about hitomi Chan is shy with strangers, that’s a pretty chill manga I’ve been enjoying lately. I mostly read manga in my free time so I’m always happy to recommend those of you like 
<2021-12-21T00:48:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: I've been thinking about getting Xenoblade Chronicles 2, is there anything I need to play in advance or is it mostly self-contained?
<2021-12-21T00:50:39.000Z> SerfnUSA: It has the same demiurge as Xenoblade 1 but that doesn’t amount to anything significant. If you’ve played Xenoblade 1 you’ll say “that’s how it’s connected to Xenoblade 1, neat” and if you haven’t you’ll say “that must be how it’s connected to Xenoblade 1, neat”
<2021-12-21T00:52:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah
<2021-12-21T00:52:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: so yaldabaoth is a faggot, that's all I need to know
<2021-12-21T00:53:18.000Z> SerfnUSA: He’s kind of chill in 2 actually but he’s your classic scumbag in 1
<2021-12-21T00:55:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah
<2021-12-21T00:56:25.000Z> SerfnUSA: Have you ever read spirit circle?
<2021-12-21T00:56:36.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s a manga 
<2021-12-21T00:59:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: nope
<2021-12-21T00:59:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: what's it about?
<2021-12-21T01:01:56.000Z> SerfnUSA attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/e2f87f43f2e5a7c661f1da36487c4ccaf60153822422b3a8aaea529c69a6617b.jpeg
<2021-12-21T01:02:24.000Z> SerfnUSA: Sorry to defer to MAL im terrible at summarizing things I like 
<2021-12-21T01:04:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: interesting premise
<2021-12-21T01:04:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: I might have to check that out
<2021-12-21T01:06:08.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s my favorite serious manga 
<2021-12-21T01:06:15.000Z> SerfnUSA: Non rom com 
<2021-12-21T01:06:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't think I've ever read a romcom I genuinely liked
<2021-12-21T01:06:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: that didn't have something else going on, anyway
<2021-12-21T01:06:56.000Z> SerfnUSA: Oof
<2021-12-21T01:06:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't really consider Tenchi Muyo a romcom, for example
<2021-12-21T01:21:02.000Z> SerfnUSA: Gal Gohan, dosanko gyaru, Galko Chan, nagatoro, uzaki, tomo-chan, takagi-san, all that is my kind of shit 
<2021-12-21T01:21:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: never got the appeal tbh
<2021-12-21T01:21:57.000Z> SerfnUSA: I love love and I love to laugh 
<2021-12-21T01:22:02.000Z> SerfnUSA: You wouldn’t understand 
<2021-12-21T01:22:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah, I have never felt "love" in my life 
<2021-12-21T01:24:54.000Z> SerfnUSA: All the better for reaching nirvana I suppose 
<2021-12-21T01:50:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: one of the reason I respect Mahayana and especially Vajrayana is the focus on awakening for laymen instead of being something only renunciates can have
<2021-12-21T01:50:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: a good amount of the greatest Tibetan yogis were married with children
<2021-12-21T01:51:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: and instead of demanding tribute from monasteries, they served their communities
<2021-12-21T01:51:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: the least defensible part of buddhism has always been the monastic system imo
<2021-12-21T01:51:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's good for many people, but in practice it leads to degeneration and some insane ideas about laymen being less "holy"
<2021-12-21T16:51:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: Oh, I was wrong about generally disliking romcoms
<2021-12-21T16:51:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: Futanari no Elf is based 
<2021-12-21T16:51:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: When will human girl finally get elf dick
<2021-12-21T17:33:12.000Z> SerfnUSA: I will investigate that title at my earliest convenience 
<2021-12-21T17:36:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: Based based based based based
<2021-12-22T22:19:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: I assumed you'd know who sinensian is, I'd feel silly if I was wrong 
<2021-12-22T22:20:36.000Z> SerfnUSA: I did not know but I figured things out pretty quickly  https://i.poastcdn.org/de189338b6f30f357d41b12bd2b0dd1adbe0787608b020229d091bee1acfe00c.jpeg
<2021-12-22T22:22:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: One of my favorite lewd artists 
<2021-12-22T22:23:10.000Z> SerfnUSA: I will be thoroughly investigating the entirety of his catalogue as soon as I’m not at my in laws 
<2021-12-22T22:24:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: Show it to your inlaws
<2021-12-22T22:28:27.000Z> SerfnUSA: That’s terrific advice friend thanks a million 
<2021-12-22T22:35:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: Show it to your wife as well with no context 
<2021-12-22T22:52:40.000Z> SerfnUSA: She enjoys hentai too but sadly only straight vanilla or yuri 
<2021-12-22T23:45:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: But it's literally yuri but a girl can get pregnant 
<2021-12-22T23:47:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: Genuinely surprised by how many women (female) are into yuri and futa
<2021-12-23T01:35:48.000Z> SerfnUSA: Yeah I don’t quite know how to explain it myself. She doesn’t have a gay bone in her body, she’d never be with a real woman but she likes yuri 🤷🏼‍♂️
<2021-12-23T02:24:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: Has she ever explained?
<2021-12-23T05:02:59.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ve definitely asked before and not gotten anywhere, if we get a chance to go out alone tomorrow I’ll ask again
<2021-12-23T05:03:25.000Z> SerfnUSA: I guess today is tomorrow already, whoops 
<2021-12-23T05:04:06.000Z> SerfnUSA: In any case I appreciate you giving me a fun conversation starter 
<2021-12-23T14:42:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: Loudly yell EY BABE, WHY ARE YOU INTO DYKES BUT IT'S WRONG WHEN ONE'S GOT A COCK?ASKING FOR MY BOY TENGU MATING PRESS AT POA DOT ST
<2021-12-23T18:32:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: So basically she said she likes cute anime girls so with yuri you get to see two cute anime girls doing it instead of one cute one with a guy who is meh at best. She also watches a lot of yuri bait like love live so naturally has come to like a lot of yuri pairings so if she’s looking for doujins of things she likes it just wound up being a lot of yuri. 
<2021-12-23T18:34:05.000Z> SerfnUSA: Basically what a lot of straight guys say about lesbian porn lol, tho with the explicit stipulation for her that it doesn’t apply to real life because “real life lesbians are repulsive”
<2021-12-23T18:36:54.000Z> SerfnUSA: She didn’t have as much to say about not liking futa. She said because girls don’t have dicks the whole thing just feels too unreal and wrong to get into. Particularly because there’s a self insert aspect to hentai, at least for her, and imagining herself with a dick just feels wrong. 
<2021-12-23T18:44:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: What about the other girl?
<2021-12-23T18:44:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: I don’t understand the question 
<2021-12-23T18:45:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: Oh you mean why not imagine herself as the one getting fucked by the futa 
<2021-12-23T18:46:28.000Z> SerfnUSA: I think women naturally insert themselves into all female characters 
<2021-12-23T18:46:52.000Z> SerfnUSA: So there’s no avoiding imagining herself as a bedicked woman 
<2021-12-23T18:47:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: That's weird 
<2021-12-23T18:47:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: Must try this to understa d 
<2021-12-23T18:49:34.000Z> SerfnUSA: I wish you the best of luck in your academic endeavors 
<2021-12-23T19:03:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: Based, thank you 
<2021-12-23T19:03:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: Maybe one day I'll write that thing I've been thinking of
<2021-12-23T19:09:32.000Z> SerfnUSA: 🤔
<2021-12-23T19:12:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: Yes?
<2021-12-23T19:13:20.000Z> SerfnUSA: Maybe you will
<2021-12-23T19:13:26.000Z> SerfnUSA: Maybe you won’t 
<2021-12-23T19:13:30.000Z> SerfnUSA: I can only ponder 
<2021-12-23T19:14:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: Degenerate isekai
<2021-12-23T19:14:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: Which is all of them, but I will not talk about jrpg mechanics 
<2021-12-23T19:15:04.000Z> SerfnUSA: Blessed 
<2021-12-23T19:15:12.000Z> SerfnUSA: Isekai is great
<2021-12-23T19:27:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: you can do fun things with it, it's just that most people who do it are chasing trennds imo
<2021-12-23T19:27:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: even jrpg-verse isn't the worst idea in the world, but it's rarely done in an entertaining way
<2021-12-30T19:40:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: realizing I don't actually believe half of what I say I believe 
<2021-12-30T19:40:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: Not sure if this is based 
<2021-12-30T22:45:52.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s not based but it’s definitely lindy
<2021-12-30T23:07:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: Epic
<2021-12-31T17:17:05.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’m on Lexington server in Azur lane if you also are and want to be friends 
<2021-12-31T17:19:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: nope, I'm on Amagi
<2021-12-31T17:21:08.000Z> SerfnUSA: I guess we aren’t friend then 
<2021-12-31T17:21:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: ;_;

<2021-12-31T17:22:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: I still didn't get her
<2021-12-31T17:23:31.000Z> SerfnUSA: Next time for sure
<2021-12-31T17:23:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: pls send me good luck to roll Ulrich
<2021-12-31T17:23:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: or at least the underboob lady
<2021-12-31T17:25:46.000Z> SerfnUSA: Under boob I think is the one you can get with event points 
<2021-12-31T17:26:06.000Z> SerfnUSA: But may God be with you in all things, brother
<2021-12-31T17:28:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: mashallah
<2021-12-31T17:29:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: and event point is someone else
<2021-12-31T17:31:34.000Z> SerfnUSA: Yeah you’re right event point is armpit girl
<2021-12-31T17:32:04.000Z> SerfnUSA: Armpit and under boob do often go underarm in arm
<2022-01-04T12:53:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: power might be out for the next few days on my end 
<2022-01-04T13:22:12.000Z> SerfnUSA: C c c c collapse
<2022-01-05T00:49:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: yep

<2022-01-05T00:49:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: Also cellular data is being throttles 
<2022-01-05T00:50:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: So I've had maybe 2 total hours of online 
<2022-01-05T00:50:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: Maybe I'll demand apologems from AL
<2022-01-05T17:26:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: Everything should be back sometime tonight inshallah
<2022-01-05T17:27:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: Just in time for watch Akebi-chan's show tomorrow 
<2022-01-05T20:26:22.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s the little things that keep us going
<2022-01-05T23:44:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: the post saying it would be back tonight was deleted 
<2022-01-05T23:44:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: fuck me 
<2022-01-06T00:00:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: now I'm hearing it'll be back by 11PM in the new post 
<2022-01-06T00:01:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: STOP PLAYING WITH MY HEART, FUTA LOLI YUKI ONNA-CHAN
<2022-01-06T03:46:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: Is that who is in charge of the internet infrastructure? That might explain things 
<2022-01-06T09:29:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: Yes 
<2022-01-06T09:29:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: I was lied to 
<2022-01-06T09:33:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: Are you back now?
<2022-01-06T09:47:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: Nope, power still out 
<2022-01-06T09:47:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: Still being powercucked by the futa loli yuki onna
<2022-01-06T20:08:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: Hearing I might be without power for 3-5 more days, though the power company says it might be back by evening 
<2022-01-06T21:21:43.000Z> SerfnUSA: What third world country do you live in again?
<2022-01-06T21:55:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: the United States in a fairly wealthy area 
<2022-01-06T21:56:17.000Z> SerfnUSA: Yeah lol
<2022-01-06T22:34:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: Oh 
<2022-01-06T22:34:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: Fuck me it's getting cold tonight 
<2022-01-06T22:34:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: They doubled the price of firewood and I'm blocked from leaving the neighborhood by trees on one side and the power company on the other 
<2022-01-06T22:35:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: My dad left to get supplies before the blockade arrived and he had to beg them to let him pass, they were telling him to go to a hotel before he told them he lived literally right across the blockade 
<2022-01-06T22:35:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: Fuck America 
<2022-01-06T22:36:17.000Z> SerfnUSA: Power company employees are flammable and can be burned for fuel in a pinch 
<2022-01-06T22:47:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: They're forcing me into a self-defense situation 
<2022-01-06T22:47:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: Heaven would forgive me for doing what I must 
<2022-01-06T22:48:28.000Z> SerfnUSA: “Sorry it’s 55 degrees this is now life or death and only one of us is gonna make it”
<2022-01-06T22:49:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: Try 10 degrees 
<2022-01-06T22:50:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: “Sorry it’s 10 degrees im legally obligated to destroy the federal government”
<2022-01-06T22:56:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: "5 degrees out, time to assume my throne as the wheel-turning monarch of this aeon"
<2022-01-06T23:00:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: They are going to find me frozen to death next to drawings if gigachad and soyjak
<2022-01-06T23:02:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: Sorry I'm dumping this on you, this is somewhat doxable and I trust you 
<2022-01-06T23:05:40.000Z> SerfnUSA: Nah never apologize dump away
<2022-01-06T23:06:08.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’m touched by your confidence 
<2022-01-06T23:06:42.000Z> SerfnUSA: And I’m sincerely praying everything works out this is a crazy situation
<2022-01-06T23:11:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: Thank you 
<2022-01-06T23:11:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: They're forecasting at least a few more inches of snow tomorrow 
<2022-01-06T23:22:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: At least my family is taking le collapse more seriously now 
<2022-01-07T00:17:34.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s funny how the older generations require personal experience to take anything like this seriously. I once tried to explain how dire the infrastructure problem in America is and it was just “well they just built a new bridge near us and it’s really nice”
<2022-01-07T01:52:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: I've been telling them about supply chain issues and they think they're something liberals made up to cover for Joe Biden 
<2022-01-07T01:52:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: Absolutely delusional 
<2022-01-07T02:09:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: Oh fuck

<2022-01-07T19:29:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: is this just what happens when rightoids are forced together without an active hostile outgroup
<2022-01-07T20:28:37.000Z> SerfnUSA: What seems to be the problem?
<2022-01-07T20:30:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: hellthreads about hellthreads, it's getting increasingly obnoxious when nearly every post is about it
<2022-01-07T20:58:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: thinking I'll move to my varis alt tbh, seem ti be more cool people on the local t; there
<2022-01-07T22:00:36.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ve never used the local tl so I don’t care

<2022-01-09T01:06:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: so far I've retrofitted Z23, Portland, Warspite, and Shouhou
<2022-01-09T02:31:11.000Z> SerfnUSA: Shouhou is underrated cunny
<2022-01-09T12:28:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: one of my favorites tbh
<2022-01-09T12:28:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: she only has 1 costume besides her retrofit ;_;
<2022-01-09T12:28:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: why has manjuu forgotten about her 
<2022-01-09T14:18:45.000Z> SerfnUSA: I suspect the once costume didn’t sell
<2022-01-09T14:42:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: the witch costume isn't that good though
<2022-01-09T14:42:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: should've given her more chances ;_;

<2022-01-09T18:03:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: nanashi mumei? more like nakadashi boobei

<2022-01-10T19:40:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: I want to have enough children with Scathach to cause a new potato famine

<2022-01-10T20:06:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: I dropped it years ago and haven't watched the anime.urt 
<2022-01-10T20:59:53.000Z> SerfnUSA: If you don’t like romance/romantic comedy manga I can’t imagine there’s anything there for you
<2022-01-10T20:59:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: I love it tho
<2022-01-10T21:00:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: the girls do be cute though
<2022-01-10T21:00:34.000Z> SerfnUSA: Yeah
<2022-01-10T22:53:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: not really following many manga these days tbh
<2022-01-10T22:53:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: only active ones are Tsugumomo, Looking up to Magical Girls 
<2022-01-10T23:17:30.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’m reading uuuuuuhhh maybe somewhere between 50 and 100 series at the moment 
<2022-01-10T23:19:43.000Z> SerfnUSA: Lowballed it https://i.poastcdn.org/90180dd5ebbd7995fd0290bda2f0eee03d9f938b39284ac78b8780d15e305f9e.jpeg
<2022-01-10T23:23:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: Hholy shit
<2022-01-10T23:23:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: how many of them are good 
<2022-01-11T04:26:37.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’m pretty generous with “good” so I’d say most of them. A couple dozen “greats” I’d say
<2022-01-11T08:46:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: List them please 
<2022-01-11T09:04:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ll list them as I think of them 
<2022-01-11T09:04:39.000Z> SerfnUSA: Hagure Idol Jigokuhen
<2022-01-11T11:29:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: Oh yeah, I was following that one until mangadex went down 
<2022-01-11T11:29:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: Thanks for the reminder 
<2022-01-11T14:12:14.000Z> SerfnUSA: My pleasure
<2022-01-11T14:27:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: >Sarah got pregnant and had a kid in the spinoff because of a freak porn accident>only 1 or 2 pages of her pregnant overall 
<2022-01-11T14:27:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: faggot author 
<2022-01-11T15:09:20.000Z> SerfnUSA: Gal Gohan has pregnant gyaru ending  https://i.poastcdn.org/b8b6970705a688ea39261b2d60b859a761eb49c44ce73f559c793ce3b9464102.jpeg
<2022-01-11T15:10:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: oh fuck
<2022-01-11T15:10:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: guess I have to read now 
<2022-01-11T15:28:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: oh, I should also check up on Ane Naru Mono
<2022-01-11T15:28:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: the non-hentai manga, I mean
<2022-01-11T16:03:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: ngl call me paranoid, sometimes I worry about getting doxed or attracting a mob against me 
<2022-01-11T16:03:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't know if I've poasted enough ammo to be used against me 
<2022-01-11T16:22:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: I like to imagine I avoid making enemies and stay away from drama, but I don't know what sets weirdos off 
<2022-01-11T18:42:02.000Z> SerfnUSA: I know what you mean
<2022-01-11T18:58:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: the thing I hate most about Online these days is it feels like you need to walk on eggshells to avoid pissing off the wrong clique 
<2022-01-11T19:15:21.000Z> SerfnUSA: I just wish doxing wasn’t real and we could just be open. I want to post cute pictures of my dog and baby. 
<2022-01-11T19:23:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: tired of unpleasant weirdos online man
<2022-01-11T19:23:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: as it is I'm getting paranoid enough that I'm wanting to get rid of my account here and return to chatrooms tbh
<2022-01-12T13:43:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: sort of tempted to start streaming shit for friends, but the twitch account I already have is with a username some guys I know irl would recognize
<2022-01-12T13:43:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: I could make alts for streams focused here, but that seems like a pain 
<2022-01-13T02:09:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: is To Love Ru good?
<2022-01-13T02:09:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: all I know is the main character's imouto is cute

<2022-01-13T03:40:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: ok this is epic
<2022-01-13T04:36:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ve never consumed it in any form
<2022-01-13T04:36:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: Yet
<2022-01-13T11:13:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: was this convincing 
<2022-01-13T14:03:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: So-so
<2022-01-13T15:47:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: I apologize for implying the podcast you were on was a redditor thing because it had weeb in the title btw
<2022-01-13T16:15:12.000Z> SerfnUSA: I didn’t see where you said that
<2022-01-13T16:15:21.000Z> SerfnUSA: But now that I know you’ve said it I forgive you 
<2022-01-13T16:23:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah
<2022-01-13T16:26:49.000Z> SerfnUSA: And it’s actually a podcast I am on, as a regular host. At least that’s the intention.
<2022-01-13T16:29:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: H, nice
<2022-01-13T16:29:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: migh check it out hten
<2022-01-13T20:33:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: really need to hold myself about not poasting about serious things outside of dms lol
<2022-01-13T20:33:57.000Z> SerfnUSA: Rip
<2022-01-13T20:35:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: deleted and muted thread, probably wasn't going anywhere good 
<2022-01-13T20:35:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: really been slacking on meditation and study lately, going stir crazy 
<2022-01-13T20:37:23.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ve been reading some of the Bible and a story from imperium press’ massive folktale collection out loud every day, very good for the soul 
<2022-01-13T20:37:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: I can imagine 
<2022-01-13T20:38:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: my areas still fucked
<2022-01-13T20:41:08.000Z> SerfnUSA: Speaking of fucked areas
<2022-01-13T20:41:54.000Z> SerfnUSA: twitter.com/hamo1192/status/1481596285702467589
<2022-01-13T20:43:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: can't shake the feeling nothing good's going to come out of life tbh
<2022-01-13T20:44:29.000Z> SerfnUSA: That sounds like depression, I don’t know how to beat that but I promise that belief is completely and utterly wrong 
<2022-01-13T20:47:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's just that every time I try anything I fuck it up, I'm not really good or have any aptitude for the things that interest me and if I somehow got married and have kids they'd probably have all of my problems 
<2022-01-13T20:47:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: feels like everything I do and try making is going to be a series of fucked up disappointments 
<2022-01-13T20:52:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: there are still things I enjoy, but even then I go through long periods where I don't feel much of anything 
<2022-01-13T20:58:06.000Z> SerfnUSA: Go for more walks, even though it’s cold, make sure you’re getting a lot of regular sleep, focus more on improving your skill at a certain hobby or task (you’ll find you’re not actually a fuckup at everything) and most of all actively work to not chase obsessive negative thoughts like these. When you notice it’s happening make yourself do something else, especially something that demands your focus. 
<2022-01-13T21:05:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: can I really distract myself fr all this for 59 more years though
<2022-01-13T21:05:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: 50
<2022-01-13T21:07:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: You have depression you won’t always have depression. The idea that your mental state now will be your mental state forever is another negative brain trap
<2022-01-13T21:09:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: It's not like it forever, but it keeps coming and going 
<2022-01-13T21:09:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: there's some other stuff I can't even talk about 
<2022-01-13T21:10:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: just tired of everything, can't even sleep lately 
<2022-01-13T21:37:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: sorry, this is probably tedious lol 
<2022-01-13T22:09:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: haven't had much sun lately
<2022-01-13T22:10:17.000Z> tengumatingpress attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/f1f046cfd6e86c1b25745a26a25c90ec17c70c5796ec483d55b77b5fccf1b20a.png
<2022-01-14T00:27:39.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s not tedious Im always happy to lend an ear
<2022-01-14T00:33:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: thanks man
<2022-01-14T00:33:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: feeling better right now, was just freaking out over something silly early
<2022-01-14T00:33:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: one of the instigating events was fucking up making popcorn for some family lol
<2022-01-14T01:06:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: twitter.com/s_h_uuko/status/1200850251134984192 https://i.poastcdn.org/22c970a15ea2d87239e5f0d850153a3bcdc9e1329d3c1d5cd78e4b3a05d949ac.png
<2022-01-14T01:06:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: wow, cute cat
<2022-01-14T01:55:40.000Z> SerfnUSA: Me wow
<2022-01-14T02:16:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't think you're a cat or gote though
<2022-01-14T05:34:23.000Z> SerfnUSA: Just a casual observer 
<2022-01-14T19:14:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: worried I'm branching away from my roots by reposting cute 3DPD
<2022-01-14T19:15:16.000Z> SerfnUSA: We all grow and change 
<2022-01-14T19:22:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: really hoping they make progress on genetic engineering or iterative embryo selection in the next few years, I'd like to get married and have kids without brain problems someday 
<2022-01-14T19:26:31.000Z> SerfnUSA: A lot of mental illness is just inability to adapt to hellish conditions of modern America. You may be anxious or autistic or depressed or have ADHD because of how your brain interfaces with pointless office work but your children will be quite content as raiders in the ruins 
<2022-01-14T19:35:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe, afaict I have no outright tard relatives 
<2022-01-14T19:35:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: if I get a woman from good stock it might be ok for me to have kids 
<2022-01-14T19:36:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: since I've admitted enough embarrassing things, my family is kind of zogged overall lol
<2022-01-14T19:37:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: basically all of my siblings and cousins except for my older sister married a nonwhites or is mixed in a way 
<2022-01-14T19:55:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: tbh if I had any skills I'd consider going to Europe and looking for a wife there 
<2022-01-14T19:55:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: I see no future anywhere in America lol
<2022-01-14T20:55:39.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s your duty to your ancestors to find a nice white woman to marry and have at least 3 kids with. Not shitposting, if the rest of the generation fucked up that bad you’re the only branch left for your family to survive 
<2022-01-14T20:56:10.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’m in the same situation on my moms side of the family, tho not my dads thankfully 
<2022-01-14T21:04:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: Meanwhile $500 for a driver's Ed cert and the ability to have someone sit next to me while I practice driving 
<2022-01-14T21:04:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: Despite having a learner's permit 
<2022-01-14T21:04:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: Lol
<2022-01-14T21:06:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: I hate how tedious everything is 
<2022-01-14T21:07:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: Everything's a goddamn scam and I can't even rely on family to help me with anything 
<2022-01-14T21:23:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: Freaking out too much over little shit 
<2022-01-14T21:24:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: Feels like I'll never get my shir together and I'm not sure what I'd do if I ever did 
<2022-01-14T21:48:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: At least it'll be nice to go out more 
<2022-01-14T22:10:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: sorry, I really have been complaining too much lately
<2022-01-14T22:10:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's just getting increasingly frustrating to do anything

<2022-01-14T23:47:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't know if you give a shit about Undertale/Deltarune, but this has been living in my head rent free

<2022-01-15T03:26:55.000Z> SerfnUSA: Has that been poasted or may I?
<2022-01-15T03:31:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: I posted it and got no reactions, nobody would have to know 
<2022-01-15T21:06:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: btw do you have a discord, hang around any irc channels, etc
<2022-01-15T21:07:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: really think I'll have to delete my account, noticing some guys following me are giving me bad vibes
<2022-01-15T21:36:10.000Z> SerfnUSA: Not one that I use too often, just hit me up on whatever new account you make
<2022-01-15T21:36:20.000Z> SerfnUSA: Assuming you’ll still stay on fedi 
<2022-01-15T21:39:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah
<2022-01-15T21:39:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm probably just getting paranoid 
<2022-01-15T21:39:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: don't think I've posted much that's doxable
<2022-01-15T21:40:36.000Z> SerfnUSA: I need to go through my poasts one of these days to make sure, especially now that I’m podcast race 
<2022-01-15T21:41:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: apparently deleting shit isn't reliable, some instances don't honor delete requests
<2022-01-15T21:41:19.000Z> SerfnUSA: Sad
<2022-01-16T01:17:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: anything interesting going on?>
<2022-01-16T02:13:07.000Z> SerfnUSA: Baby is farting a lot today. Watching fauna play skyrim. Might snow tonight. I want my damn taiga figure already. 
<2022-01-16T02:14:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap
<2022-01-16T02:15:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'd take the itme to shit on Skyrim but it's a game it's genuinely more fun to watch other people play
<2022-01-16T02:15:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: I take it bethesda has never fixed their shit in 11 years
<2022-01-16T02:15:54.000Z> SerfnUSA: I agree watching anime girl play it is much better than playing it
<2022-01-16T02:16:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: I wish Vinesauce Vinny and Joel were fuckable anime girls
<2022-01-16T02:17:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: Wise words 
<2022-01-16T02:19:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: they're opboably the best western streamers imo
<2022-01-16T02:19:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: I should watch more jerma, I used to liove this is ds when he wa sSTAR_ and did tf2 shit

<2022-01-16T03:03:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think this is my greatest poast yet
<2022-01-16T03:23:13.000Z> SerfnUSA: If I repoasted lewds I would 
<2022-01-16T03:44:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: based
<2022-01-16T03:45:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: also it's not lewd, she's just naked
<2022-01-16T04:18:52.000Z> SerfnUSA: I don’t think that Jesus/bebe cares about that distinction 
<2022-01-16T13:08:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: looking is fine, but repoasting is a crime
<2022-01-16T13:08:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: thinking I'll get a gym membership again now that they're opening back up
<2022-01-16T13:08:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: haven't been doing well physically, starting to get concerned, getting back into lifting would be good
<2022-01-16T13:14:13.000Z> SerfnUSA: Always a good decision 
<2022-01-16T13:17:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah
<2022-01-16T13:17:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: piss has been smelling oddly sweet in the morning, so that's obviously concerning lmao
<2022-01-16T13:17:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: only in the morning, oddly
<2022-01-16T13:19:42.000Z> SerfnUSA: You need to get a gf who wants to drink your tasty morning pee
<2022-01-16T13:25:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: thank you, very cool
<2022-01-16T16:20:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: think I'll try going back on adhd meds
<2022-01-16T16:20:59.000Z> SerfnUSA: Meth?
<2022-01-16T16:21:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: they're probably bad for me overall, but I genuinely can't tolerate a lot of shit without them and I almost regret getting memed into going off them
<2022-01-16T16:21:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, amphetamines
<2022-01-16T16:21:49.000Z> SerfnUSA: Hitler approved of meth so I do too
<2022-01-16T16:21:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: sorry Ted, can't see myself singlehandedly bringing down industrial society, so my options are basically take drugs to cope or die
<2022-01-16T16:23:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: felt like shit on them, but fuck it
<2022-01-16T19:08:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: btw watch Akebi-chan no Serafuku
<2022-01-16T19:08:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's great
<2022-01-16T23:31:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: also read Looking Up to Magical Girls

<2022-01-17T02:10:13.000Z> SerfnUSA: Added to lists 
<2022-01-18T02:49:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: finally attaining the final level of autism
<2022-01-18T02:49:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: started playing Starcraft 2 and Age of Empires 2
<2022-01-18T02:49:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: I finally  have enough evidence to get on disability, I think
<2022-01-18T02:50:17.000Z> SerfnUSA: Good for you 
<2022-01-18T02:50:23.000Z> SerfnUSA: That’s a lifelong dream 
<2022-01-18T02:51:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: getting neetbux is basically winning the lottery for white people tbh
<2022-01-18T15:33:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: heard a somewhat unusual boutique take on /a/ I'm having difficulty refuting
<2022-01-18T15:33:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: somebody posited that people that dislike futas with absurdly large dicks are actually tranny fetishists in denial
<2022-01-18T15:33:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: I must contemplate this, I think a while ago I had a half-baked boutique take on futa being implicitly Aryan
<2022-01-18T16:36:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: Everything that originated in Japan is implicitly Aryan, simple as 
<2022-01-18T16:37:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: based?
<2022-01-18T16:38:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: basically "androgyny" in the neutered sense is jewish, but perfectly embodying Feminine and Masculine traits in the equal and best measure is extremely Aryan
<2022-01-18T16:38:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: therefore futas with big booba and big cocks are based, trad, epic, profound, etc
<2022-01-18T16:38:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: this is why they push trannies, they know it's a grim parody of a metaphysical ideal
<2022-01-18T16:58:09.000Z> SerfnUSA: Futa pretty good, tranny ugly bad
<2022-01-18T16:58:39.000Z> SerfnUSA: Substitute good with Aryan and bad with jewish, same difference 
<2022-01-18T17:00:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: b&r
<2022-01-19T03:09:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: still thinking about how I'm basically becoming my father in terms of vidya taste
<2022-01-19T03:09:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: though I don't think he was ever into fighters
<2022-01-19T03:10:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: totally forgot he was into starcraft, but he saw me playing SC2 and immediately recognized the style
<2022-01-19T03:10:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: he used to be really into Brood Wars back in the day
<2022-01-19T04:44:13.000Z> SerfnUSA: I can’t imagine having family members that have hobbies 
<2022-01-19T13:50:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: this was back in the day, of course
<2022-01-19T13:50:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: he doesn't really do much at home besides watch tv these days
<2022-01-19T13:50:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: the fate of all boomers, I guess
<2022-01-19T16:32:19.000Z> SerfnUSA: “This magnum pi remake is terrible” *keeps watching the entire series*
<2022-01-19T16:32:24.000Z> SerfnUSA: Drives me mad
<2022-01-19T18:48:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: why are boomers
<2022-01-19T20:16:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: "man I can't rely on part-time retail shit forever, need to find a career""what are you good at?"
<2022-01-19T20:16:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: lol lmao
<2022-01-19T21:46:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: need to go out more, I think
<2022-01-19T21:47:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: worried I'm developing brain damage
<2022-01-19T21:47:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: of course it'll be a while before I can get a license by the design of that online course anyway
<2022-01-20T00:46:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: managed to get an appointment to get some adhd meds in the next week, hopefully the doc doesn't make me jump through hoops to get my amphetamines
<2022-01-20T03:00:50.000Z> SerfnUSA: Praying for your success brother 
<2022-01-20T03:01:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: thanks
<2022-01-20T03:01:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: hopefully things are turning around
<2022-01-20T22:52:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: feeling better in general lately, hopefully those were just a weird few weeks lol
<2022-01-20T22:54:37.000Z> SerfnUSA: Happy to hear that!
<2022-01-21T00:29:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: also, offer still stands if you want to gaym at any point
<2022-01-21T00:29:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: show your kids good games so they don't grow up to be casuls
<2022-01-22T18:01:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: holy fucking shit adderall is amazing 
<2022-01-22T18:01:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't know why I let faggot docs keep me on gay shit like concerta for so many years
<2022-01-22T18:02:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: I am feeling extremely aryan right now
<2022-01-22T18:02:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: kind of want to fight something lmao
<2022-01-22T18:14:03.000Z> SerfnUSA: Go and conquer 
<2022-01-22T18:14:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: can't, have to waste more time on gay tests
<2022-01-22T18:15:19.000Z> SerfnUSA: Conquer those gay tests brother
<2022-01-22T18:15:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: ;_;
<2022-01-22T18:15:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe I'll just go driving to practice and bank on the cops being too busy to fuck with me
<2022-01-22T18:16:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: still peeved I can't get family to go driving with me
<2022-01-22T18:17:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: can't be helped
<2022-01-22T18:17:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: can't really make myself feel upset about it right now, think that's a good sign
<2022-01-22T18:17:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: hopefully the doc will give me a scrip without any fuss, actually on some addy I bummed off a friend
<2022-01-22T19:46:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah, managed to get my dad to go driving with me
<2022-01-22T19:47:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: unfortunately he tends to react in aggressively unhelpful ways to mistakes, but better than nothing
<2022-01-22T19:47:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: fucking hate cars
<2022-01-22T21:37:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm going off hard today and I'll probably relate it when I come down
<2022-01-22T21:37:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: lmao
<2022-01-23T03:33:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: very pleased by how today went
<2022-01-23T03:34:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: even the adderall "crash" just feels like I didn't brew a 2nd pot of coffee
<2022-01-23T03:34:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: not ideal, but manageable 
<2022-01-23T04:18:45.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’m really happy for you brother 
<2022-01-23T04:21:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: funnily enough I said more or less the same thing to another friend and he said it's probably a bad sign to feel too good off a pill
<2022-01-23T04:21:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: guess both can be true
<2022-01-23T04:22:52.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s a bad sign for most pills but meth is certified Aryan 
<2022-01-23T05:05:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe I'll stop being a pussy and try some other ones out
<2022-01-23T05:05:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: if I can find a safe irl dealer, a bit leery of ordering online because I don't want to make my family look bad
<2022-01-23T05:06:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: main ones I'm looking at are mdma and psilocybin, they're apparently useful for treating autism/anxiety
<2022-01-23T05:06:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: still kind of bullshit psychedelics are outlawed imo
<2022-01-23T05:07:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: the funny thing is mdma-related fatalities increased dramatically after it was banned
<2022-01-23T05:07:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: because instead of purchasing from reputable dealers, guys were buying from niggers that added harrmful fillers
<2022-01-23T05:10:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think this is a case where being a libertarian is reasonable, especially since alcohol is legal
<2022-01-23T05:12:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: srsly
<2022-01-23T05:12:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: I've been warned it's basically impossible to get pure mdma where it's illegal
<2022-01-23T05:14:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: one day I'll probalby just take a vacation to Amsterdam and try some shit out that might help
<2022-01-23T05:42:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: was a bit disappointed to realize Kiara's kind of a cunt tbh, I liked her streams
<2022-01-23T05:42:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: initially I wrote off her being a bit of a dick about other HololiveENs missing a stream as a joke that wasn't funny, but judging by her non-chuuba projects she's probably just a catty backbiter in general
<2022-01-23T05:48:17.000Z> SerfnUSA: I think it’s reasonable to be allowed to treat the broken mind and soul that neoliberal multicultural life causes, but if we can make a healthy country most of these illnesses will go away and it will be a non issue
<2022-01-23T05:48:46.000Z> SerfnUSA: Or an issue on the margins 
<2022-01-23T05:49:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah
<2022-01-23T05:49:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe in an ideal world nobody would have a problem
<2022-01-23T05:49:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: but since we aren't, there's no harm in using medicine
<2022-01-23T05:50:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: From the first second she opened her mouth I knew kiara was a catty backstabbing drama queen cunt
<2022-01-23T05:51:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: LOL you don’t need an ideal world you just need not a kiked one. Almost nobody was mentally ill 200+ years ago because everyone was part of normal healthy homogenous communities. Everyone having depression and autism and adhd is a recent thing caused by jewish industrial society 
<2022-01-23T05:53:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's really hard to tell
<2022-01-23T05:54:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's possibly a cocktail of dysgenics, pollution, and some tendencies that weren't pathological no longer being healthy in post--industrial society
<2022-01-23T05:54:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: >From the first second she opened her mouth I knew kiara was a catty backstabbing drama queen cuntyour explanation made sense, but I actively avoided those sort of women in school
<2022-01-23T05:54:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: so I rarely recognize them
<2022-01-23T05:56:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: also glad my favorite HololiveEN is not only good at keeping her mouth shut about politics, but she's also p\retty  irl
<2022-01-23T05:57:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: my taste remains flawless
<2022-01-23T05:57:41.000Z> SerfnUSA: Whomst?
<2022-01-23T05:57:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: Mori
<2022-01-23T05:58:16.000Z> SerfnUSA: I haven’t seen her irl you got the pictures handy?
<2022-01-23T05:58:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: static.wikia.nocookie.net/youtube/images/6/6e/DEMONDICE.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20211014144704
<2022-01-23T05:59:17.000Z> SerfnUSA: Nice
<2022-01-23T05:59:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: she kind of reminds me of some of my big sister's friends that would come over
<2022-01-23T05:59:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: since she was into alt shit
<2022-01-23T06:00:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: alt girls in the mid-late 2000s were either obese or beautiful and there's no in between
<2022-01-23T06:01:30.000Z> SerfnUSA: I don’t think she’s /ourguy/ but she’s not politically retarded which means she’s by definition a little based because that’s how it goes with women 
<2022-01-23T06:01:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: oh, I doubt she's secretly based and epic
<2022-01-23T06:02:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: though she did nearly say nigga on stream 
<2022-01-23T06:02:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: oddly enough, Kiara's the only HoloEN that actually said it
<2022-01-23T06:02:39.000Z> SerfnUSA: Ame said it
<2022-01-23T06:02:46.000Z> SerfnUSA: I didn’t know kiara had
<2022-01-23T06:03:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: I thought that was Amelia's roommate 
<2022-01-23T06:03:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: youtube.com/watch?v=0C_WySg3Sx8
<2022-01-23T06:03:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: here we are
<2022-01-23T06:03:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: shit wrong video
<2022-01-23T06:08:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: can't find it, but I know I saw her say it
<2022-01-23T06:09:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: these days I'm actually watching more NijisanjiENs that HoloEN tbh, they've got some great talent
<2022-01-23T06:09:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: the HoloENs I like have been a bit slow lately as well
<2022-01-23T06:09:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: I don’t mean based as in full on fashy or whatever that’s why I said she’s not our guy I mean based as in still holds some normal beliefs from when the world was less insane that are now unacceptable. For example the way she talked about “debut pending” Twitter “vtubers” makes it clear she believes in meritocracy, which is thoroughly denounced as racist nowadays, and because she grew up around blacks you know she knows what they’re like. Just normal little things but for a woman social pressure to be a libtard who capitulates to everything the system says the moment the system says it is insane. By somewhat based I mean “has enough conviction to not abandon some minor formerly normie friendly right wing positions” which I think does count for something as a woman 
<2022-01-23T06:10:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'd recommend Selen Tatsuki, Rosemi Lovelock, and Elira Pendora
<2022-01-23T06:11:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: and yeah, I think she has defended some associates for saying things you aren't allowed to say anymore
<2022-01-23T06:12:02.000Z> SerfnUSA: I don’t have that much time for vtubers and I mostly just watch irys 
<2022-01-23T06:12:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah, fair enough
<2022-01-23T06:12:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: Irys is easily the best of the newer EN batch
<2022-01-23T06:12:24.000Z> SerfnUSA: Though she is about to take a week off so maybe I’ll explore 
<2022-01-23T06:12:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: I like Selen because she has extremely good taste in games 
<2022-01-23T06:12:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: and is actually competent
<2022-01-23T06:12:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: iirc she held a top 500 position in Apex Legends for a while, which is pretty solid for a woman
<2022-01-23T06:13:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: there are some streamers I enjoy watching, but wow it's frustrating watching them play sometimes
<2022-01-23T06:13:16.000Z> SerfnUSA: I prefer talentless women
<2022-01-23T06:13:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: Mori's also pretty ok at vidya
<2022-01-23T06:15:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: seriously though, Selen's streamed Starcraft 1, Rainbow Six, FEAR, Megaman 3, Alice: Madness Returns, Overlord
<2022-01-23T06:15:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: and so on
<2022-01-23T06:15:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: I like it when they stream games I've played and liked
<2022-01-23T06:23:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: all I need to do to hit peak hyperreality is have some vtubers cast Korean Brood War matches
<2022-01-23T06:24:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: legit the hypest gamve I've seen and it's really fun
<2022-01-23T06:24:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: now that the fighting game scene is pozzed beyond salvation, might have to get into better autism games
<2022-01-23T06:24:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: youtu.be/k_lJFddF27I?t=949
<2022-01-23T06:25:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: won't ask you to watch th efull set, but this was an amazing moment
<2022-01-23T06:35:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: imo Brood War is significantly more interesting than Starcraft 2 despite qol improvements
<2022-01-23T06:36:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: sc2 frequently devolves into very silly shit whee you rapidly build up a large army and move it as one across a map
<2022-01-23T06:36:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: fights usually last a few seconds in sc2, in Brood War they can last a good deal longer because damage is lower, there are fewer strong area of effect attacks, and so on
<2022-01-23T15:23:07.000Z> tengumatingpress attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/c3af5207ccd6ec25fa8637d0516cb4bcc96e1a875a274bd4d0c425038029220b.jpg
<2022-01-23T15:23:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: well then
<2022-01-23T15:49:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: Her comment was funny and harmless, this is insane
<2022-01-23T16:03:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: parasocial relationships lmao
<2022-01-23T16:04:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: some guys suspect she's fucking the Connor guy because they did a collab, she defended him after he made a comment about EN vtubers having no talent, and she donated $250 to his stream
<2022-01-23T16:29:36.000Z> SerfnUSA: I didn't know the guy in the pic was supposed to be someone in particular 
<2022-01-23T16:29:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah
<2022-01-23T16:29:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: he also lives in Japan
<2022-01-24T03:05:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: twitter.com/moricalliope/status/1485138115656228864
<2022-01-24T03:06:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: "sorry about my shameful conduct, I was drowning my sorrows in that mf GRAPE DRANK, that SIZZURP, that LEAN"
<2022-01-24T03:06:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: "uh I don't know what lean is please don't arrest me"
<2022-01-24T03:49:05.000Z> SerfnUSA: “What is this strange lingo ‘lean’ I’ve never heard of I thought it was just alcohol”
<2022-01-24T16:56:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: doing research on local laws
<2022-01-24T16:57:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's so weird how you're allowed to purchase magic mushroom spores, but actually cultivating them is a felony
<2022-01-24T16:57:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: you can also grow san pedro cacti at home, but you're not allowed to consume
<2022-01-24T16:57:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: no clue how they'd even prove that if you aren't blabbing out it in public or selling
<2022-01-24T17:52:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: For a second I thought you meant you were searching Japanese drug laws for callis sake
<2022-01-24T17:59:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't think she'd read my email if I tried giving advice anyway
<2022-01-24T17:59:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: I could fix her
<2022-01-25T02:26:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: every day I lose more and more patience for rightoids
<2022-01-25T02:26:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: a guy I'm friends with from here, won't say his @ because I won't be a bitch, was complaining about how somebody got a good job & a wife and left "dissident" groups because he didn't want to jeopardize it
<2022-01-25T02:27:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: and then he started going on about how /ourguys/ can't get married or generally be successful because it distracts from what really matters: saying nigger online
<2022-01-25T02:28:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: not quite ready to cut ties because I enjoy speaking with him and some other guys, but there's some major brain damage going on
<2022-01-25T02:31:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm still in contact with the guy who left of course, he's chill and we have fairly normal conversations
<2022-01-25T04:43:06.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s hard to be single
<2022-01-25T04:43:12.000Z> SerfnUSA: Really fucks with your head
<2022-01-25T13:33:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: oof
<2022-01-25T13:52:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm sure this doesn't represent the entire scene, but there are way too many mentally ill people thinking you should put Der Movement above what actually beneits you
<2022-01-25T14:03:49.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ve never gotten that impression personally
<2022-01-25T14:04:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe I just keep attracting weirdos then
<2022-01-25T14:07:20.000Z> SerfnUSA: Maybe I’m good at compartmentalization so when I see bullshit I just file it under “people talking shit” and put it out of my mind
<2022-01-25T14:10:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah
<2022-01-25T14:10:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: again, the main reason I haven't totally dissociated from this scene is I'd genuinely miss quite a few people
<2022-01-25T14:11:14.000Z> SerfnUSA: Aw shucks
<2022-01-25T23:54:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: >add one (1) guy in a shitpost chat on Steam because we like fighters>he starts streaming matches on the discord chat
<2022-01-25T23:54:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: shit sets me on edge lol
<2022-01-25T23:54:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: I have most of my accounts locked down pretty tight and I changed my Steam name to avoid connecting it to other accounts for irl shit, but I still really don't like the idea of it connecting to other parts of my internet fingerprint
<2022-01-25T23:55:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: should probably stop hanging around spaces with people I distrust
<2022-01-26T17:15:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: huh https://i.poastcdn.org/f945e9b6b1e6f8d218b66c96dcf6351ed28ef9e9b3b7df007f30e5d24a5e387d.jpg
<2022-01-26T17:16:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: wonder if the cuckening was because RAG's author was getting bored
<2022-01-26T17:33:19.000Z> SerfnUSA: He should illustrate and have someone else write
<2022-01-26T17:40:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: I know there was one mangaka who learned his manga was getting cancelled, so he decided to torch it on the way out
<2022-01-26T17:40:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: iirc he had the female lead get gangraped
<2022-01-26T17:40:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: or one of the major characters, anyway
<2022-01-30T20:14:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: welp, ended up inviting a long-time online friend to that vacation my family was going on for my niece's birthday
<2022-01-30T20:15:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: it was family's idea since they asked if I wanted to invite anyone
<2022-01-30T20:15:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: inshallah this won't be awkward
<2022-01-30T20:19:32.000Z> SerfnUSA: That should be fun man I’m happy for you
<2022-01-30T20:20:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, I've known the guy for a while so I figured why not
<2022-01-30T20:20:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: really smart guy + he's been helping me out a lot lately
<2022-01-30T20:21:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: giving financial advice, pooling cash together for investments
<2022-01-30T20:21:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: not going to give details, but no joke
<2022-01-30T20:21:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: his family runs a surprisingly important manufacturing company in America
<2022-01-30T20:21:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: this was literally a guy I met in a monstergirl chat years ago
<2022-01-30T20:21:48.000Z> SerfnUSA: Based
<2022-01-30T20:28:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: figured I'd start taking my own advice re being more selective with online friends and making efforts to meet them irl
<2022-01-30T20:28:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: to escape the simulacra a little
<2022-01-30T20:30:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: almost a shame e-politics is a slightly more dangerous sphere, otherwise I'd make more efforts to meet some of the chill guys here
<2022-01-30T20:30:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: mind you this is a guy I've known for the better part of a decade, only recently did we start doing the other shit
<2022-01-31T03:21:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: youtube.com/watch?v=JpEbXTiT5MQ&t=2h3m15shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpEbXTiT5MQ&t=2h3m15s
<2022-01-31T03:21:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't know if you've ever played AoE2, but holy shit this is amazing
<2022-01-31T03:21:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: don't read the comments before watching it
<2022-01-31T03:26:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ll try to pencil in this 3 hour video sometime later in the week 
<2022-01-31T03:28:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: no, don't watch all of it
<2022-01-31T03:28:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: just for like 20 seconds after the time I linked you
<2022-01-31T03:29:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: I mean, you can watch all of it because Age of Empires 2 is probably more important than everything else in your life
<2022-01-31T03:30:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: that game is wonderful
<2022-01-31T03:30:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: Brood War and AoE2 are probably the best rtses
<2022-02-02T02:19:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: thinking about how one of the only decent recent shounen  protagonists was written by a woman
<2022-02-02T02:19:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: Tanjiro from KnY
<2022-02-02T02:19:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: mind you he isn't even a spectacular character, but he actually comes off as heroic and likable, especially in contrast with protags like BnH's 
<2022-02-02T02:20:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: this might be an alright subject for the weebcast, idk
<2022-02-02T03:29:48.000Z> SerfnUSA: Is demon slayer author for sure a woman? I know he or she is very secretive 
<2022-02-02T03:52:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: an employee at WSJ who was in contact with her confirmed she's a woman
<2022-02-02T03:52:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: web.archive.org/web/20210124135309/https://bunshun.jp/articles/-/37807?page=2
<2022-02-02T03:53:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: >But in Jump, the battle with the boss, Onimai Tsuji Muso, is already over. There have been various rumors on the Internet, but the author is actually a woman. Due to family reasons, it seems that she can't continue her manga career in Tokyo for long. It's been whispered that she will return to her parents' house when the series ends.
<2022-02-02T03:54:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm willing to buy it because the plot beats and artstyle seem feminine enough
<2022-02-02T03:54:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: reminds me that I really ought to stop sleeping on Dorohedoro
<2022-02-02T03:54:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe it's just western women that can't write worth a damn
<2022-02-02T04:27:54.000Z> SerfnUSA: Fucking western journalists doxxing people 
<2022-02-02T04:28:13.000Z> SerfnUSA: I wonder if jap journalists are evil too
<2022-02-02T04:30:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: they're big into sensationalism
<2022-02-02T04:30:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: nips are surprisingly normalfag tbh
<2022-02-02T04:30:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: they love gossip arguably more than americans do
<2022-02-02T04:30:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: might just be an asian thing
<2022-02-02T20:48:17.000Z> SerfnUSA: Mfw I get to preview tengus poasts 
<2022-02-02T20:48:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: you're my designated beta tester
<2022-02-04T20:54:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: debating on whether or not I should tell this anecdote 
<2022-02-04T20:54:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: at my last job I was hitting it off with this really cute girl who started speaking to me, right?
<2022-02-04T20:55:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: she was obviously flirting with me and I figured I'd ask for her number after I finished doing business
<2022-02-04T20:55:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: I asked if she planned on driving what I was loading for her home and she said she was 14 and her parents were going to do it
<2022-02-04T20:55:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm still salty to this day and I was genuinely concerned for my reputation
<2022-02-04T20:58:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm probably not posting this publicly because it probably looks really bad
<2022-02-04T21:02:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: in my defense I assumed she was legal since she was alone when I got there and short adults exist
<2022-02-04T21:03:11.000Z> SerfnUSA: Zamn! 😜
<2022-02-04T21:03:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: oh fuck
<2022-02-04T21:03:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: my life is a meme
<2022-02-04T21:04:04.000Z> SerfnUSA: Nah tho I know what you mean I don’t hold it against you it’s hard to tell ages with plenty of people, she was definitely being tricky 
<2022-02-04T21:04:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: to this day I don't know if she was baiting me or if it was sincere
<2022-02-04T21:08:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe I'll tell the story anyway and ask for sponsorship from the libertarian party
<2022-02-08T15:19:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: youtube.com/watch?v=ubSdfYqCgK8
<2022-02-08T15:19:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe not all dubs are bad
<2022-02-08T15:21:56.000Z> SerfnUSA: I watched the Franxx and akira dubs for the podcast and thought they were both solid
<2022-02-08T15:22:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: huh
<2022-02-08T15:22:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: did you do an Akira episode?
<2022-02-08T15:22:27.000Z> SerfnUSA: Yes
<2022-02-08T15:22:31.000Z> SerfnUSA: Most recent ep
<2022-02-08T15:23:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah, I'll check it out
<2022-02-08T15:23:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'll be on a flight tomorrow, might have time for it
<2022-02-08T15:24:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: watch Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera btw
<2022-02-08T15:24:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: I've been shilling it a lot, but it's fantastic
<2022-02-08T15:49:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: 70s one or 2000s?
<2022-02-08T15:57:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: 2011
<2022-02-08T15:57:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: the 1973 one diverges a lot from the manga, Meeramera is closer to the original tone
<2022-02-08T15:57:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: youtube.com/watch?v=gk8XGnKLhfU
<2022-02-08T16:19:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: and I finished Meeramera
<2022-02-08T16:19:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: season 2 never ever
<2022-02-08T16:20:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: Dororon Enpi-chan Lovelove never ever ;_;
<2022-02-08T16:20:36.000Z> tengumatingpress attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/19d8f106740efc79c90a6f745886982d007774843b8150c404bea8e6a7112d80.png
<2022-02-08T16:23:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: basically it's one of those shows that has a very niche appeal, I think
<2022-02-08T16:24:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: either it's one of your favorites or you'll absolutely hate it
<2022-02-08T16:24:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think the former category is referred to as "the Elect" in certain sects
<2022-02-09T16:01:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: I have finally arrived at the antichrists vatican
<2022-02-09T16:07:04.000Z> SerfnUSA: Uhhh
<2022-02-09T16:07:10.000Z> SerfnUSA: Rome?
<2022-02-09T16:10:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: No, Disney World 
<2022-02-09T16:10:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: poa.st/notice/AGIzNggnBG0m5psIaW
<2022-02-09T16:10:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: Already harvesting content 
<2022-02-09T16:36:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: I know this doesn't really mean anything and I'm part of the problem by being here, but it's funny how you really don't see any merchandise from their recent films 
<2022-02-09T16:36:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: Because fucking nobody wants to look at that weird zambo from their new movie 
<2022-02-09T16:52:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: Also half the staff here has the gay voice 
<2022-02-09T16:52:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't remember it being like this last time I went 
<2022-02-09T16:52:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: Which admittedly was in 2007
<2022-02-09T17:24:35.000Z> SerfnUSA: Zoomers are outrageously gay or outrageously based
<2022-02-09T17:25:55.000Z> SerfnUSA: And the based ones aren’t working at Disney. The young adults who were working there in 2007 were more normal, times were more normal. 
<2022-02-09T18:38:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: Makes sense
<2022-02-09T19:31:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: Also keep seeing really weird shit 
<2022-02-09T19:31:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: Like mannequins with nigger hair molded on 
<2022-02-09T19:36:04.000Z> SerfnUSA: Wtf
<2022-02-09T19:47:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'll send a pic next time I see it 
<2022-02-09T19:49:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: Also there's a gay variant of everything 
<2022-02-09T19:51:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: Seriously
<2022-02-09T19:51:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: Are the pics sending?
<2022-02-09T19:54:04.000Z> SerfnUSA: I see no pics
<2022-02-09T20:00:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: Fuck
<2022-02-09T20:01:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'll just post them directly, no need to be coy
<2022-02-09T20:04:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: files.catbox.moe/59lzm4.jpgfiles.catbox.moe/t7tos5.jpg
<2022-02-09T20:04:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: Media upload wasn't working either 
<2022-02-09T20:04:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: Here
<2022-02-09T20:05:50.000Z> SerfnUSA: Fidel and Clayton lmao even the fags have to race mix 
<2022-02-09T20:17:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: It is Florida tbf
<2022-02-09T20:17:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: And Cubans are basically white 
<2022-02-09T20:19:10.000Z> SerfnUSA: Do you get the impression that Disney world is mainly appealing to Floridians?
<2022-02-09T20:22:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: You know, I think so 
<2022-02-09T20:22:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: I keep seeing alligators everywhere 
<2022-02-09T20:23:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: Figurines, drawings, animatronics 
<2022-02-09T20:23:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think Floridians worship the things 
<2022-02-09T20:23:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: Interesting 
<2022-02-09T20:23:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: I remember seeing a lot of pajeets last time I was there 
<2022-02-09T20:24:22.000Z> SerfnUSA: Not as decorations, I mean as fellow parkgoers 
<2022-02-09T20:28:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: >pajeet decorationsThat's one of the worse layers of Buddhist hell I think 
<2022-02-09T20:28:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: Haven't seen any pajeets 
<2022-02-09T20:28:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: Mostly whites and castizos right now, 
<2022-02-09T20:30:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: There's a store that sells nothing but people coping for being left handed 
<2022-02-09T20:30:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: What the fuck
<2022-02-09T20:31:54.000Z> SerfnUSA: One day I will genocide all right handers for their arrogance and greed 
<2022-02-09T20:38:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: Are you a lefty?
<2022-02-09T20:40:41.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’m as sinister as they come brother 
<2022-02-09T20:56:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: We cannot be friends 
<2022-02-09T20:57:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: Only based right handers can hang with me 
<2022-02-09T20:59:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: Blocked
<2022-02-09T21:14:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: Also noticing asian, African, and Mexican esl employees all over the place 
<2022-02-09T21:15:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: Is it just hard to hire native speakers 
<2022-02-10T01:03:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: Watch Project A-ko
<2022-02-10T01:03:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: youtube.com/watch?v=rEEhUkmt2YA
<2022-02-10T15:00:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: Not sure if I should drop #based takes or just enjoy the trip with my family, but man Epcot sucks outside of the recreations of architecture 
<2022-02-10T15:00:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: The Moroccan section is pretty impressive though 
<2022-02-10T15:10:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: Also the wait times for everything are heinous even at rope drop 
<2022-02-10T15:10:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: I doubt I'll be going on many rides 
<2022-02-10T15:14:49.000Z> SerfnUSA: Carousel of progress try not to laugh challenge 
<2022-02-10T15:32:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: Oh boy 
<2022-02-10T15:32:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'll be going to the Magic Kingdom later today 
<2022-02-10T15:32:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: How bad is it 
<2022-02-10T15:54:29.000Z> SerfnUSA: Oh I thought the carousel was in Epcot 
<2022-02-10T15:55:08.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s basically “everything in America is better today than it was yesterday look how bright the future is”
<2022-02-10T17:33:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: To be fair that was made in the 60s-70s
<2022-02-10T17:33:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: It was reasonable to believe that back then 
<2022-02-10T17:33:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: poa.st/notice/AGL9EknNvp8a52G0CO
<2022-02-10T17:33:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: Check this shit out
<2022-02-10T18:55:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: >tfw your mom says you're acting creepy by standing too close to women in a queue 
<2022-02-10T18:55:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: Not sure if this means I'm ugly or if this is just a woman thing 
<2022-02-10T21:58:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: Haven't been in the carousel of progress yet, but I did go to the hall of presidents 
<2022-02-10T21:58:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: On one hand lol it acted like the presidency is a uniquely American thing and it's some metaphysical ideal 
<2022-02-10T21:59:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: But I'm a sucker for Americana tbh
<2022-02-10T21:59:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: I maintain this country was actually rad
<2022-02-10T22:56:31.000Z> SerfnUSA: If this country was what Walt imagined it to be I would basically have no complaints 
<2022-02-10T23:37:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: Huge Mexican families halting the line and cutting their relatives in 
<2022-02-10T23:37:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: This is America 
<2022-02-10T23:38:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: Nothing sadder than seeing a cute mestizo next to her mom 
<2022-02-10T23:38:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: Realistically what she'll become 
<2022-02-10T23:45:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: Surrounded by Mexicans on all sides, unable to speak, in line for 30 more minutes 
<2022-02-10T23:45:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: This is hell
<2022-02-10T23:45:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: I hope the Haunted Mansion here is as good as I remember 
<2022-02-10T23:51:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: Oh, they let me pass 
<2022-02-10T23:52:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: Wkce they kept playing games in line and slowing it down 
<2022-02-10T23:53:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: Anyway  they fucked up the Haunted Mansion's queue 
<2022-02-10T23:53:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: They added so many minigames in line
<2022-02-11T00:11:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: Not as good as Disneyland's imo
<2022-02-11T00:11:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: The narrator's voice was mixed too low and the lighting was poor enough to miss quite a few gags
<2022-02-11T00:11:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: I only know them because I'm the sort of faggot that soyfaced when they brought the Hatbox Ghost back 
<2022-02-11T00:13:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: Though to be fair the lower lighting did make some of the portraits spookier 
<2022-02-11T01:33:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: So many old and fat people in mobility scooters 
<2022-02-11T01:33:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: Normalfags are in worse condition than I thought 
<2022-02-11T14:13:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: That friend I was going to meet up with had his flight cancelled last minute over "covid concerns"
<2022-02-11T14:13:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: Fuck this country 
<2022-02-11T16:36:53.000Z> SerfnUSA: I had no idea they were still doing that shit 
<2022-02-11T17:10:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: He's in one of the top libtard states 
<2022-02-11T17:10:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: He's in one of the top libtard states 
<2022-02-11T17:13:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: Mind you this guy is very old stock american 
<2022-02-11T17:13:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: He showed me some records showing how his family came to America all the way back in the 17th century 
<2022-02-11T17:39:18.000Z> SerfnUSA: Damn, mine weren’t here till the 18th. He’s got me beat
<2022-02-11T18:09:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: Same 
<2022-02-11T18:09:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: My great-great-great....- grandfather was literally a Hessian that went awol and hooked up with a local woman lmao
<2022-02-11T18:48:06.000Z> SerfnUSA: Eyes on the prize 
<2022-02-11T19:23:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: I will never be that based ;_;
<2022-02-11T19:27:40.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s literally in your blood my friend 
<2022-02-11T22:31:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: That friend is trying to reschedule now, we'll be out for a while 
<2022-02-11T22:32:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: Fingers crossed 
<2022-02-11T22:32:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: Of course he did invite me to his place, might take him up on that 
<2022-02-12T15:48:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: Girls walking around in backless midriff-exposing tops like guys won't be staring
<2022-02-12T15:48:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: And she was cute 
<2022-02-12T15:49:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: However, actually going after a girl that would dress like that in public probably isn't the best idea 
<2022-02-12T16:05:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: I am going to go insane is what I'm trying to say, I just wanted to hang out with family ;_;
<2022-02-12T17:20:27.000Z> SerfnUSA: The most erotically dressed woman (with a body to match) I’ve ever seen in person was at Busch gardens with my family. I’ll never forget it. 
<2022-02-12T17:20:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: Why are whores
<2022-02-12T17:23:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: Maybe instead of acting like a gentleman I should harass until they stop or marry me
<2022-02-12T17:25:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: Man I've been acting weird about this lately, might be the adderall
<2022-02-12T17:29:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: Maybe it's also the sunlight making me hornt
<2022-02-12T17:31:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: Also, hanging around my niece has been fun 
<2022-02-12T17:31:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: She got on all fours last night and started meowing for some reason 
<2022-02-12T17:32:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: It's cute but I don't know if that's normal behavior for her age 
<2022-02-12T17:32:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: She's turning 4 in a few months 
<2022-02-12T17:51:17.000Z> SerfnUSA: That’s normal lol
<2022-02-12T17:51:32.000Z> SerfnUSA: Kids are cute man, you should have a couple
<2022-02-12T18:32:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: If I can find a gf from a good family 
<2022-02-12T19:16:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: I may have fucked myself by posting a pic of otters for a guy here 
<2022-02-12T19:16:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: They were taken through a glass, there may have been a reflection 
<2022-02-12T19:16:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: The guy said he didn't see one, but I deleted anyway 
<2022-02-12T19:16:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: Some instances don't honor deletes, hopefully that doesn't come back to haunt me 
<2022-02-12T19:18:51.000Z> SerfnUSA: Paranoid schizophrenic moment 
<2022-02-12T19:46:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: ;_;
<2022-02-12T19:46:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: In my defense would you want to risk it?
<2022-02-12T21:22:46.000Z> SerfnUSA: Of course not, it’s good to be careful
<2022-02-12T21:23:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: As careful as you can, even. But one shouldn’t live in fear.
<2022-02-12T21:40:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: Yeah 
<2022-02-12T21:41:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: I can only imagine how bad it must be to have a family and kids and not be able to really talk about it without knowing you'll give something away 
<2022-02-12T22:55:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: Alright, so my family was going out to eat, right?
<2022-02-12T22:55:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: But I had Adderall and coffee, so my appetite was nonexistent
<2022-02-12T22:55:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: My brother in law offered me an edible to help get my appetite up and somehow I tried cutting a steak with the wrong side of a butter knife 
<2022-02-12T22:57:02.000Z> SerfnUSA: Disney world is destroying your soul
<2022-02-12T22:59:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: When I get back home I'm going to spend a week straight blasting racist podcasts 24/7
<2022-02-12T22:59:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: Though tbf I never had a problem with weed occasionally 
<2022-02-12T23:41:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: Actually in general the crowds are more tolerable while high
<2022-02-12T23:41:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: Hm
<2022-02-13T18:54:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: Still thinking about how bachelor gorillas will form their own troops among the boys until they get gfs
<2022-02-13T23:14:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: My niece spent the last 15 or so minutes absolutely mogging another toddler and chasing after ducks while they were being fed by the other toddler
<2022-02-13T23:14:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: It was the funniest shit
<2022-02-13T23:15:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: The male duck seemed annoyed by her but he couldn't commit to running because her friend kept tossing popcorn on the ground
<2022-02-13T23:15:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: He kept making angry grumbling quacks
<2022-02-13T23:22:53.000Z> SerfnUSA: Domination 
<2022-02-13T23:32:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't know if she was making the other girl uncomfortable 
<2022-02-13T23:32:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: She was taller and really got in her face 
<2022-02-13T23:32:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: She looked somewhat not white, might be based
<2022-02-13T23:32:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: Based castiza niece 
<2022-02-14T00:41:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: Ngl never really thought about this seriously before, but hanging around my niece is making me think being a parent would be nice 
<2022-02-14T02:06:09.000Z> SerfnUSA: All my irl friends are suddenly much more interested in kids now that we have a baby and they come and spend time with her. 
<2022-02-14T02:06:22.000Z> SerfnUSA: Right living can be contagious 
<2022-02-14T02:36:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: Lol
<2022-02-14T22:01:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: My sister has been in an awful mood all day and just been screaming at everyone 
<2022-02-14T22:02:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: She got into a shouting match with her husband, called their kids "mistakes", and stormed off 
<2022-02-14T22:02:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: While my niece was in the room mind you, though I don't think she understood that 
<2022-02-14T22:02:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: Fucking hell
<2022-02-14T22:13:43.000Z> SerfnUSA: Heated woman moment smh
<2022-02-14T22:15:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: She's always been a bit of a cunt, but that's actually the worst thing she's said and I would've looked the other way if he slapped her for that.
<2022-02-14T22:15:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: I damn near did that 
<2022-02-14T22:16:53.000Z> SerfnUSA: Yeah she crossed a line and there’s nothing wrong with slapping someone, especially a woman when they go off the deep end like that. It’s a reasonable treatment to hysteria and it works very well. 
<2022-02-14T22:17:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: I swear I hope I never end up with a woman who's anything like her 
<2022-02-14T22:18:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: Genuinely question my brother-in-law's taste in women
<2022-02-14T22:18:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: I mean technically they aren't married, but last I heard he was planning on making it official 
<2022-02-14T22:19:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: In a familial piety sense I want my sister to be happy but she has such a rotten personality that I struggle to want any guy to have to go through that
<2022-02-14T22:19:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: Yep, that's really it 
<2022-02-14T22:20:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: I almost wish I hated the guy because I genuinely feel bad and wonder if I should've been a better brother to prevent her from turning out like this 
<2022-02-14T22:21:54.000Z> SerfnUSA: For me it’s my older sister so there’s nothing I could even have done. I feel for you tho, I’d probably feel some guilt too in your shoes, but it’s really not your fault
<2022-02-14T22:24:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: She was never not awful to be around 
<2022-02-14T22:24:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: Even before she had a concussion 
<2022-02-14T22:25:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: Also, really sorry to hear our your sister 
<2022-02-14T22:28:25.000Z> SerfnUSA: Hopefully your sisters at least not doing the non binary thing 
<2022-02-14T23:13:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't know what my older sister is doing and I don't care 
<2022-02-14T23:13:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: My little sister doesn't really know much, she didn't even go to college 
<2022-02-15T14:18:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: Last day of the trip 
<2022-02-15T14:19:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: Every day something stupid has happened because of the awful new systems they've added 
<2022-02-15T14:19:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: It's gotten so bad my family's planning on selling off shares and never coming back, so I suppose that's good 
<2022-02-15T14:25:51.000Z> SerfnUSA: Covid systems?
<2022-02-15T14:26:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: No, the MyMagicPlus/Disney Genie system 
<2022-02-15T14:27:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: It's supposed to contain park tickets and it's the fast pass replacement, but it doesn't work half the time 
<2022-02-15T14:27:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: Or at least it's so obtuse even the employees can't figure it out
<2022-02-15T14:28:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: Also it's overcrowded as fuck and they're so understaffed they can't run effective crowd control 
<2022-02-15T14:28:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: Corona policies are gay though, you need to wear a mask but only in buildings 
<2022-02-15T14:28:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: Meanwhile Universal Studios ended any mask policies 
<2022-02-15T14:31:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: I know consumer loyalty is gay but I need to stress my family's been coming somewhat regularly for like 20 years and had no problems with it before 
<2022-02-15T14:32:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: So bad they genuinely want nothing to do with the company in general, though to be fair even when they watch shit on Disney+ it's mostly the old films because nobody likes their recent films 
<2022-02-15T14:58:45.000Z> SerfnUSA: Oh no no no encanto bros we got too cocky
<2022-02-15T15:58:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: I've seen maybe 1 reference to it lol
<2022-02-15T15:59:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: Pretty convinced every conversation about it online is astroturfed 
<2022-02-16T19:23:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: I hope this isn't prying too much, but where did you meet your wife?
<2022-02-16T19:23:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: Asking for ideas lol
<2022-02-16T19:39:22.000Z> SerfnUSA: High school sweetheart 
<2022-02-16T19:39:48.000Z> SerfnUSA: No idea how anyone meets women, sadly
<2022-02-16T19:41:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: ;_;
<2022-02-16T19:41:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: Moved around too often to go the childhood friend/high school gf route lol
<2022-02-16T19:41:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: It's over
<2022-02-16T19:51:54.000Z> SerfnUSA: Be openly racist on a dating app profile and see if you hit the lottery 
<2022-02-16T19:52:12.000Z> SerfnUSA: Or Buddhist church 
<2022-02-16T19:54:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: You know, I was considering that lmao 
<2022-02-16T19:54:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: Swoocing in on new age women that aren't too far gone and making them join a legit tradition 
<2022-02-17T20:36:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: youtube.com/watch?v=zO4-OK-AXqQ
<2022-02-17T20:36:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: The one good thing that trio did was make me think of that time my family visited Japan a decade ago 
<2022-02-17T20:36:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: We only spent a few days in the Disney there because the nation itself was more intriguing, but it's absurdly good 
<2022-02-17T20:37:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: The attraction I linked is a very high budget recreation of a Mediterranean fortress
<2022-02-17T20:38:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: There's some self-referential lore where it's the base of operations for a gang of treasure hunters involved in the backstories of other original rides, but instead of being self-indulgent all that shits in the background 
<2022-02-17T20:38:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: The real point was building a high quality, immersive walkthrough of something inherently cool 
<2022-02-17T20:39:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: DisneySea has very little Disney IP in its park, but it's the closest to what Walt Disney really had in mind imo
<2022-02-17T20:39:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: I should return to Japan someday, there was some rad shit I still wanted to visit 
<2022-02-17T20:39:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: Kongoi Temple, that statue of Vairochana, that huge Inari shrine
<2022-02-17T20:39:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: Maybe an arcade or two
<2022-02-17T20:42:12.000Z> SerfnUSA: Disney sea is pretty universally considered the best Disney park, im pretty sure. And one of the best theme parks period, really. 
<2022-02-17T20:42:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think visiting Japan radicalized me because I always hated big cities 
<2022-02-17T20:42:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: But I actually had fun walking the streets of Tokyo 
<2022-02-17T20:42:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: I wasn't even in a tourist trap area and there were fish in the sewers because they were so clean 
<2022-02-17T20:43:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: And yeah DisneySea is probably among the best in the world 
<2022-02-17T20:43:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: I checked ticket prices and they're still roughly $70 a day lol
<2022-02-17T20:45:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: Meanwhile 1-day passes at Disney World are like $150
<2022-02-18T15:47:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: have you read Tsugumomo?
<2022-02-18T15:47:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's one o the only battle shounens I've ever actually followed
<2022-02-18T16:54:10.000Z> SerfnUSA: Nope
<2022-02-18T17:11:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: you should, it's a fun read and all the girls are top-tier
<2022-02-18T17:12:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: basic synopsis is some shmuck ends up becoming a monster hunter after the spirit of an obi he inherited from his mother saves his life 
<2022-02-18T17:13:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: shit gets weird after it and past a certain point it's basically as close to hentai as you can get while being published by a legit magazine
<2022-02-18T18:20:37.000Z> SerfnUSA: Oooh yes I think I’ve heard of that
<2022-02-21T15:53:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: gauging interest in something I'm wanting to try
<2022-02-21T15:53:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: wanting to run an AD&D 1e campaign, but for guys that can't appear in regular sessions I'd let them play as faction leaders/notable npcs
<2022-02-21T15:54:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: and have them give orders on the strategic-level
<2022-02-21T15:54:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: very fast-and-loose, few player-facing mechanical shit there
<2022-02-21T15:54:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: between sessions giving them quick updates on what happened in-game and asking for their orders
<2022-02-21T16:04:14.000Z> SerfnUSA: Seems fun 
<2022-02-21T16:06:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: nice, thinking about compiling a list of basic concepts that seem necessary and asking for feedback
<2022-02-21T16:06:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'll of course roll up everything important beyond the concept
<2022-02-21T17:01:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: asking if it's something you might be able to participate in, though it's not a sure thing yet
<2022-02-21T19:21:28.000Z> SerfnUSA: Participate? Not anytime soon im afraid. Doing one podcast a week has proven to be way more taxing on my limited free time than I imagined, at least for now keeping that up is pretty much my limit for regular projects
<2022-02-21T21:43:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: that's a shame, maybe at a later point then

<2022-02-22T16:37:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: Dearonnus is based
<2022-02-22T16:38:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: game theory: anime men are beta as fuck as a natural check on high fecundity
<2022-02-24T20:26:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: hope my recent postings aren't too bleak/gay
<2022-02-24T20:26:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: I go through this loop every so often and it's still intractable lol
<2022-02-24T20:27:07.000Z> SerfnUSA: Nah you’re good ever since you got back on meth 
<2022-02-24T20:27:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: not really depressed atm, just generally my estimate of the general dilemma 
<2022-02-25T01:45:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: >family pestering me about wanting more grandkids than the ones my sister had
<2022-02-25T01:45:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: lol
<2022-02-25T03:52:13.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’m niggas 
<2022-02-25T03:52:34.000Z> SerfnUSA: Have some grandkids already you bum
<2022-02-25T11:40:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: Even if I found a woman tomorrow that would still take roughly 14 years assuming the quickest timeline 
<2022-02-25T14:19:27.000Z> SerfnUSA: I mean grandkids for your parents, just kids for you 
<2022-02-25T14:26:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah
<2022-02-28T00:32:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: poa.st/notice/AGuvfF03gtM5vkvho0
<2022-02-28T00:32:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: This is a banger 
<2022-03-01T00:16:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: >get an offer to join a company owned by a friend's family that has benefits, a good salary, and potential for improvement with the friend personally putting in a good word for me 
<2022-03-01T00:17:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: >family would rather I do a multi-year job training program that's essentially prison/nigger daycare
<2022-03-01T00:17:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: lol
<2022-03-01T00:24:52.000Z> SerfnUSA: With family like these!
<2022-03-01T00:36:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: I know it's a long shot, but I've given them a good amount of info suggesting the job corps really isn't a good idea 
<2022-03-01T00:36:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: Basically a prison, can't even leave the premises now unless you have a pass 
<2022-03-01T00:36:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: Which you need a vaccine to get 
<2022-03-01T00:36:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: Also, it's basically where they send disadvantaged yoofs to keep them off the streets for a few more years
<2022-03-01T00:37:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: All this in exchange for certifications not all corporations accept and possibly getting scouted
<2022-03-01T00:37:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: Since they don't officially consider you graduated until you're employed, but they also get paid per person for the length of their stay 
<2022-03-01T00:38:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: So they're not exactly motivated to keep things efficient 
<2022-03-01T00:38:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: Also, cafeteria zogchow on premises 
<2022-03-01T00:38:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't know what I was thinking when I even suggested it 
<2022-03-01T00:56:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'll just go with my friend's job for now tbh
<2022-03-03T20:43:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: Watch Dororo
<2022-03-03T20:44:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: It's better than whatever you could possibly be watching/reading right now 
<2022-03-03T20:50:40.000Z> SerfnUSA: I was watching it with my wife when it was airing and we got to the episode where the whore was introduced and my wife said “this is gonna be too sad” and quit, but I do want to get back to it eventually 
<2022-03-03T21:05:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: She was right that it didn't end well for the whore
<2022-03-03T21:05:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: Spoilers byw
<2022-03-03T22:04:01.000Z> SerfnUSA: Oh yeah of course 
<2022-03-03T22:04:20.000Z> SerfnUSA: This isn’t our first experience with narrative fiction 
<2022-03-03T22:34:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: I was wondering if she'd be Hyakkimaru's love interest tbh
<2022-03-03T22:34:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: Guess the demons didn't take his dignity 
<2022-03-03T22:36:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: "you sacrificed our firstborn son to demons wtf""bah women don't understand politics"
<2022-03-03T22:36:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: lol based 
<2022-03-03T22:55:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: I genuinely respect hie that's treated somewhat ambivalently in the story 
<2022-03-03T22:56:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: I mean, Daigo's a shitbag, but even if it was for the sake of his reputation it did save his people 
<2022-03-05T00:23:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: Taking test tomorrow for drivers license and don't feel confident, should've studied a lot more lol
<2022-03-05T00:23:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: I can reschedule but still 
<2022-03-05T00:25:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: Retake rather 
<2022-03-05T00:25:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: Wishing I would've gotten all this done when I lived in a state with fewer regulations lol
<2022-03-05T00:46:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: Praying for you brother 
<2022-03-05T01:11:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: thanks
<2022-03-05T01:11:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: not really hoping to get complacent, but I hope I eventually reach a place where I can ease of on worrying about the future so much
<2022-03-05T01:11:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm a much worse person in those conditions, I think
<2022-03-05T16:44:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: Passed it 
<2022-03-05T16:45:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: Now I'm finally entitled to pay someone to sit in a car with me 
<2022-03-05T16:45:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm going to flip my shit if after all this the stuff in doing doesn't help me when move to another state within a month or 2
<2022-03-05T16:46:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: An abject lesson is expediency 
<2022-03-05T16:52:17.000Z> SerfnUSA: Oh it was a dmv thing? Those tests are made so that blacks can pass them you were always gonna be fine brother 
<2022-03-05T17:06:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: No, not dmv
<2022-03-05T17:06:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: No, not dmv
<2022-03-05T17:06:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: My state has some weird laws where you need to pass drivers ed in state for permission to have someone outside of family give instruction 
<2022-03-05T17:06:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: Whu
<2022-03-05T17:20:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: at least family's starting to come around on me working at that friend's company
<2022-03-05T17:20:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: did I ever tell you that story?
<2022-03-05T17:20:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: they assumed I did more research than I actually did and initially didn't sign on for talks with the job corps to get them off my back after losing my last job
<2022-03-05T17:21:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: the story about how I lost my last job, not the thing about the job corps
<2022-03-05T17:56:03.000Z> SerfnUSA: I don’t believe I’ve heard that tale
<2022-03-05T19:02:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah
<2022-03-05T19:02:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: was working as a loader/warehouse worker/fulfillment guy at Lowe's was doing a good job
<2022-03-05T19:02:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: but over time the white management left and got replaced by niggers, and one of the big ones was this horrible bitchy sheboon
<2022-03-05T19:03:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: I got into a shouting match with her and quit on the spot when I was given multiple orders at once, prioritized helping a customer load something into her vehicle, and got bitched out for it
<2022-03-05T19:10:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: it was an impulsive thing to do, but fuck it
<2022-03-05T22:10:08.000Z> SerfnUSA: It was the right thing to do
<2022-03-05T22:44:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: Probably 
<2022-03-05T22:44:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: Not like a retail career was really ever taking me places 
<2022-03-07T17:35:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: feeling like a pussy for admitting this, but most shit I just don't want to deal with these days, feels like I get absolutely nothing out of life except enjoying some kinds of escapism
<2022-03-07T17:36:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: can't even enjoy most of that anymore because I can no longer organize groups or participate in activities with friends
<2022-03-07T17:36:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: tired of whining about everything too
<2022-03-07T17:59:37.000Z> SerfnUSA: Can’t you start organizing things in person again now that Covid is officially over?
<2022-03-07T18:00:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, but now I have to leave home
<2022-03-07T18:01:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: so that's going away
<2022-03-07T18:01:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: all of my options right now involve leaving the state
<2022-03-07T18:01:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: got less than a month left here
<2022-03-07T18:10:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: I understand my family's frustration, fucked up every opportunity I had
<2022-03-07T18:10:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: dropped out of college, dropped hvac training because I couldn't work with fire
<2022-03-07T18:10:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: useless overall
<2022-03-07T18:26:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: probably shouldn't have admitted that last part
<2022-03-07T18:30:41.000Z> SerfnUSA: Im not going to dox you bro
<2022-03-07T18:32:07.000Z> SerfnUSA: You're a smart and capable guy your life is not over, you can still make it. My dad was still changing his career into his 40s.
<2022-03-07T18:44:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: It's not a matter of life being over, it's a matter of not wanting to continue it 
<2022-03-07T18:45:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: This isn't the plaxee to  unload this shit and I'm always worried I'm alienating people like this kol
<2022-03-07T19:17:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: alright feeling better lol
<2022-03-07T19:21:53.000Z> tengumatingpress attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/94813856599f2d95ea4f40376e32de5da778e7e2583659417b9ea32f68c8ddb2.png
<2022-03-07T19:23:32.000Z> SerfnUSA: Nah you’re my buddy you can always vent to me if you need to
<2022-03-07T19:23:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: that really means a lot
<2022-03-07T19:23:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: and for whatever it's worth, if you have any problems or anything I could feasibly help you with, feel free to tell me
<2022-03-07T19:24:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: Much rather you do that than the alternative 
<2022-03-07T20:17:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: alright, looking like I might have arrange a deal with family
<2022-03-07T20:17:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: instead of doing job corps/leaving to do whatever, I can pay rent with the cash I still have in the bank while studying & getting certs in networking from CompTIA
<2022-03-07T20:18:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: since that's what I would've been doing at job corps
<2022-03-07T20:36:22.000Z> SerfnUSA: twitter.com/arvin_sz/status/1466064750702379009
<2022-03-07T20:47:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: "remove before flight"
<2022-03-07T20:49:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: tfw Atago probably won't ever receive a retrofit because of chinese drama
<2022-03-07T20:49:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: the Sakura Empire really received a massive faction nerf 
<2022-03-07T21:35:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: man I wish family would let issues rest sometimes 
<2022-03-07T21:36:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: I was visibly freaked out earlier and family was telling me they won't want me around if I act like that and suggested I was playing it up as a form of emotional manipulation 
<2022-03-07T21:36:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: have to get the fuck out as soon as I can make reasonable arrangements 
<2022-03-07T21:39:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: Genuinely concerned by my behavior lately because I know I would've never acted this way a few years ago, but I don't know what I could do to get help
<2022-03-07T22:33:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: oh, I've got an anime rec btw
<2022-03-07T22:34:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's not good, but it's very entertaining
<2022-03-07T22:34:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: Valvrave the Liberator 
<2022-03-07T22:35:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's yet another mecha war anime by Sunrise, but the protagonists are all high schoolers 
<2022-03-07T22:35:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: and then some absolutely magical shit happens
<2022-03-07T22:35:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: if you watch it go in blind, I'm not kidding when I say magical shit happens and you should experience for yourself without any warning
<2022-03-07T23:07:40.000Z> tengumatingpress attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/2f587d17d53e89775c0dc60c962008b6557ad3862ced2f9af375f295c371fdec.jpg

<2022-03-07T23:53:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think this is my problem with a good amount of tabletop rpg shit that gets published
<2022-03-07T23:53:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: while this is funny and has some stuff worth stealing, it's also not meant to be played, I think

<2022-03-08T00:23:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: another good example of a module that's interesting to read but is unworkable in actual play

<2022-03-09T02:22:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: I will never get over this mashup
<2022-03-09T03:14:04.000Z> SerfnUSA: soundcloud.app.goo.gl/81UuxWsf4VVxFmhPA
<2022-03-09T03:14:13.000Z> SerfnUSA: My favorite mashup
<2022-03-09T15:05:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: youtube.com/watch?v=DgfWEjpEhsU

<2022-03-09T16:39:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: Imagining Everywhere At The End Of Time but instead of big band music it's vidya & anime osts. And mashups thereof

<2022-03-10T22:40:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: should probably retvrn to meditating, realize around the time I got out of that habit I started going back to full menhera shit lol
<2022-03-10T22:43:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think I'll start going to the sangha I was a part of a lot more often since I'll have my driver's license soon, think it'll be good for me to at least be part of a regular community
<2022-03-10T22:43:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: haven't been able to badger anyone nearby for a ride lately
<2022-03-10T23:06:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm still trying to figure out a based way to express a lack of interest in theme park medieval europe fantasy settings
<2022-03-10T23:07:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't mind Europe as a setting, you can do a lot of interesting shit with that, but it's more the ones that feel like someone trying to ape Tolkien by way of playing Dungeons & Dragons incorrectly
<2022-03-11T04:02:56.000Z> SerfnUSA: Sorry to break it to you but if you don’t like mid generic medieval fantasy you’re gay black a woman or some combination thereof 
<2022-03-11T04:03:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: weird pulp fantasy settings are implicitly white
<2022-03-11T04:03:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: alien planets where everyone travels via flying machine but fights with swords?
<2022-03-11T04:03:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: hwite
<2022-03-11T04:04:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: jackass thieves doing quests for turbosperg wizards that don't actually understand magic, just cargocult the rituals and fruitlessly speculate?
<2022-03-11T04:04:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: huwhite
<2022-03-11T04:06:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: notice that anime doesn't do settings like that
<2022-03-11T04:26:05.000Z> SerfnUSA: Star ocean does the first one 
<2022-03-11T12:01:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: I was referring to Barsoom from John Carter of Mars
<2022-03-11T12:01:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: But I guess I was wrong 
<2022-03-11T20:16:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: "man fuck society for making me do all this busywork and number crunching""I can't wait to run this game, time for some preparatory busywork and numbercrunching!"
<2022-03-11T20:16:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: the duality of autists 
<2022-03-11T20:19:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: In a better world I would be drip fed amphetamines and spend hours a day working on optimizing roadways
<2022-03-11T20:20:57.000Z> SerfnUSA: Or the logistics for an infinite number of hypothetical war scenarios 
<2022-03-11T20:24:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm literally homebrewing a tabletop rpg cum wargame system that goes into logistics and takes into account the in-game economy, trade routes, and so on 
<2022-03-11T20:25:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: But with monster girls and demon worshiping sorcerers and rape and also it's post-apocalyptic futuristic shit that looks like fantasy 
<2022-03-11T20:25:17.000Z> SerfnUSA: Rape is cool
<2022-03-11T20:25:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: Based 
<2022-03-11T20:26:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: Common sense really
<2022-03-11T20:26:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: Analyzing rise in birth rates after orcs (female (with penis)) raid a village taking into account incidental damage to their main industries 
<2022-03-11T20:58:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: actually thinking I'll have to scale back a tad tbh
<2022-03-11T20:58:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: since one of my plans is to have players controlling factions and the territories they control, so I doubt they'll want to put the work into managing their land's economy if I make it too complicated
<2022-03-11T20:59:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: still prelim shit for now and I'm mostly figuring out what exactly to pilfer
<2022-03-11T21:00:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: so far main shit I'm robbing is the original 1974 D&D rules, Classic Traveller's Little Black Books, Dave Arneson's shit, some wargames, Adventurer Conqueror King
<2022-03-11T21:00:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'll probably run OAD&D while I'm testing the waters
<2022-03-11T22:34:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: >extremely heavy snow projected in the next few days oh fuck me lol
<2022-03-17T21:15:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: to clarify what I was saying, I wasn't even saying that myths have no value or literally all samurai were actually rotten bastards
<2022-03-17T21:15:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: more of a nitpick against outright worshiping a specific group or class
<2022-03-17T21:19:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: also the point about the national myth was less a comparison to Westphalian nation-states and more like the mythology around the Civil War 
<2022-03-17T21:19:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: where the North paid lip service to valorizing Confederate men as gentlemen and downplaying the war as a squabble between brothers to keep Southerners loyal
<2022-03-17T22:12:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: I understand where you’re coming from brother and I’m sorry for disagreeing so publicly and passionately I shouldn’t have done that to a friend 
<2022-03-17T22:14:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: nah it's fine
<2022-03-17T22:20:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: I prefer settling disagreements in dms because it's easier to explain a position without the peanut gallery interfering
<2022-03-18T00:28:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: >family wanting to prepare a nice dinner so we can discuss shitfuck I wish they'd just tell me instead of being cryptic 
<2022-03-18T00:28:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: I already agreed to pay rent and shit until I leave 
<2022-03-18T00:32:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: fucking hate it when people play games like that
<2022-03-18T00:51:06.000Z> SerfnUSA: That’s a shame
<2022-03-18T00:56:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: I mean tbh it seems most people living with their parents pay rent, so i can't like it's especially bad and I should be glad I had more time without it so I could get a head start on investments and such
<2022-03-18T00:57:47.000Z> SerfnUSA: Most parents of boys in America have their son’s circumcised that doesn’t mean it’s not evil 
<2022-03-18T00:58:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: still remember arguing with my sister over getting her son circumcised lol
<2022-03-18T00:58:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: it was spergy, but her argument was that it's better than him having some kind of disorder that'll cost her an absurd amount of money to have treated
<2022-03-18T00:59:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: which is a bizarre hypothetical, but I expect nothing better from americans
<2022-03-18T01:00:40.000Z> SerfnUSA: So to be clear I think making your adult kids pay rent is evil, and a uniquely American evil that willingly puts atomized identity over even family.
<2022-03-18T01:01:30.000Z> SerfnUSA: Making them help out and be a part of the family and not just shut in their room neet is not just okay, it’s a good idea. But pay to live in their own family’s house? Fucked up
<2022-03-18T01:01:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: it sucks, but I get that it's considered shameful 
<2022-03-18T01:01:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: more about American culture sucking than anything else
<2022-03-18T01:03:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: as it is I'm genuinely worried they'll sell off the house before me or my sister can inherit it lol
<2022-03-18T01:03:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: which also seems like a common experience 
<2022-03-18T01:27:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: I mean, even though I'm unemployed right now I help out around the house, buy food and such off savings
<2022-03-18T01:27:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm trying not to be completely useless
<2022-03-19T12:23:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: just learned a guy I admire was extremely based

<2022-03-19T12:24:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: apologies for the r*ddit link
<2022-03-19T12:24:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: >Furthermore, if you read between the lines you can see his justification for his own real life marriage from his very old school "race science" point of view that they're both Aryans in amongst his laying out of his own eccentric and idiosyncratic (for the time, you can find fascists like this more commonly now-a-days, Barker was ahead of his time in the worst possible way) version of fascism where everyone gets their own isolationist ethnostate in a network of microfascisms heavily influenced by a right-libertarian perspective, so it's sort of a mix of right-authoritarian and right-libertarian ""utopianism"" along with apologia that appears critical of Nazism and fascism as it historically existed in some of the conversations the self-insert Gary Stu mercenary hero man has with the fascists as they slowly convince his "skeptical" and "apolitical" mind of the rightness of their "more nuanced than you'd think!" positions, but is more of an excusing of and lying about Nazism and fascism as it historically existed with a dash of "but, you know, they were of their time and couldn't know x, y and z, etc, etc and so NOW we have a New and Improved Fascism and we still do owe them a debt for lighting the way" and it's pretty fucking vile honestly lmao
<2022-03-19T12:24:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: I wish Barker was still alive, he'd make some fantastic content in the current year
<2022-03-19T12:28:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: he would've led the charge in unironic based white islam
<2022-03-19T12:33:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: >he was on the editorial board for a Holocaust denial ""academic"" journal for fuck's sakes!
<2022-03-19T12:33:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: man, if his family gets a cut of the money I'd be willing to drop money on his shit instead of pirating it
<2022-03-19T12:34:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: >Most of the things you cite here stood out to me when I was first reading up on the setting (via Swords & Glory Vol. I) back in the 90s - I came away not liking the culture and social structures and feeling that the only way I’d be interested in playing a game there would be as a rebel attempting to subvert and disrupt the status quo in the manner of a Jack Vance novel. But then I found out the Tekumel fanbase was very much not on board with that approach and had a condescendingly dismissive reaction to it - including snickers about how The Professor would enjoy humiliating and tossing aside anyone who would be so rude and clueless to come into one of his games with that kind of attitude.
<2022-03-19T12:34:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: jews read about fictional societies and think "BEEP BOOP MUST SUBVERT OY VEY"
<2022-03-19T12:34:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's reflexive

<2022-03-19T13:26:31.000Z> SerfnUSA: Very interesting 
<2022-03-19T14:14:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: fucked up how le ebil nazis are the ones who seem to have actual interest in non-western cultures beyond turning them into skinsuits for modern western values
<2022-03-19T14:15:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: I've never known anyone genuinely enthusiastic about aztec, tibetan, japanese, or chinese culture that wasn't at least a bit racist
<2022-03-19T14:50:28.000Z> SerfnUSA: I knew one turbo shitlib, non binary, hapa, the works, who was deeply and passionately into pre-Colombian mesoamerican civilizations, especially Aztec and Mayan, and not in a “look how they were shitlibs like me” kind of way, in a truly learning all about them kind of way. But generally I completely agree it’s usually our guys who can actually appreciate foreign cultures 
<2022-03-19T14:53:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: huh
<2022-03-19T14:53:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: guess exceptions exist then
<2022-03-19T14:53:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: Always
<2022-03-19T14:53:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: I do know a very far left linguist who knows absurd amounts of very obscure regional dialects in Japan
<2022-03-19T14:54:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: though I really don't know where to peg him politically
<2022-03-19T14:54:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: buys into gender shit but is also extremely autistic and lives in a shack in the outskirts of I think Portland because drugs were decriminalized there
<2022-03-19T14:54:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: I enjoy speaking with him despite everything tbh
<2022-03-19T14:59:01.000Z> SerfnUSA: I could speculate that in her case the same things that make her interested in trannydom make her interested in Aztec warriors who did drugs and pretended to have the spirits of animals in them, or abortion/human sacrifice, they’re both basically death cults, etc, but I don’t like to psychoanalyse my friends
<2022-03-19T14:59:31.000Z> SerfnUSA: And I know what you mean I keep up with a few people who have 100% opposed views and lifestyles from me
<2022-03-19T14:59:53.000Z> SerfnUSA: Good conversations, interesting to hear other ideas and contend with them 
<2022-03-19T15:00:24.000Z> SerfnUSA: I still keep up with that gay jew who likes Jojos, in fact. 
<2022-03-19T15:03:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't know if I should be a bitch about you even comparing the Aztec mindset to modern trannies/libtards, but I'll let it slide
<2022-03-19T15:04:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: I still really wish we could go back to the pre-2013 days when people from different cliques could get along
<2022-03-19T15:04:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: there were still some sore spots and awkward subjects, but there was a time when unironic communists, unironic nazis, unironic schizophrenics could hang out in the same spaces and only occasionally sperg out without trying to dox each other
<2022-03-19T15:41:15.000Z> SerfnUSA: Of course the Buddhist is an Aztec apologist lmao. The conquistadors weren’t nearly thorough enough, they should have scourged every inch of the degraded blood and “civilizations” they found in the americas. We’d all be infinitely better off. 
<2022-03-19T15:45:16.000Z> SerfnUSA: The most comparable thing about precolombian America civilization and liberal civilization is that there is absolutely literally nothing worth salvaging. 100% worthless. 
<2022-03-19T15:49:05.000Z> SerfnUSA: The more I think about it the more you could compare the two all day long. A bunch of retarded parasitic shitskins doing demon worship spiritual dualism (that they barely
<2022-03-19T15:50:23.000Z> SerfnUSA: comprehend) and human sacrifice on the ruins of a superior white/Atlantean civilization that came before them and almost inexplicably died out and getting replaced by savages.
<2022-03-19T15:53:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: for the record not immediately condemning them is pretty heterodox because human sacrifice is one of the big no-nos, I wouldn't openly defend them in front of serious practitioners lmao
<2022-03-19T15:55:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: anyway the Aztec self-conception was more as the preservers of cosmic order, all is ultimately sacrifice to preserve yourself, some harsh actions are necessary to preserve civilization 
<2022-03-19T15:55:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: the jaguar doesn't feel guilty for hunting
<2022-03-19T15:55:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: there's something beautiful about that, though I'm not sure about the actual efficacy of human sacrifice lmao
<2022-03-19T15:58:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: I see their religion as extremely Aryan and I'm almost certain it was a holdover from the Aryans that used to rule the region
<2022-03-19T15:59:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: even involves primary worship of a solar deity lmao
<2022-03-19T16:02:36.000Z> SerfnUSA: I strongly suspect that what happened was that the Aryan peoples who originally settled America and built the amazing architecture that the Aztecs and Mayans squatted in are the ancestors of the natives today rather than a different people entirely, it’s just that generations of human sacrifice and demon worship corrupted their blood and turned them from Aryan to spic. But we will probably never know for sure. 
<2022-03-19T16:03:06.000Z> SerfnUSA: So if that’s your goal then human sacrifice is effective 
<2022-03-19T16:03:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: eh, I think it was more like what happened with India, albeit with better stock than Dravidians 
<2022-03-19T16:03:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: not quite as tragic a fall, though
<2022-03-19T16:05:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: I still stick with Thomas777's interpretation of Mexicans as an abject warning against miscegenation 
<2022-03-19T16:06:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: mix good Aztec blood with good Spanish blood and you get a race of perpetually lowkey and disengaged drywallers & drug dealers
<2022-03-19T16:06:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: wait
<2022-03-19T16:06:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: >brutality from the Aztecs>mercantile ambition from the Spanish
<2022-03-19T16:06:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: I finally understand Mexican behavior 
<2022-03-19T16:24:49.000Z> SerfnUSA: I don’t disagree with the “central/South America post Columbus is a warning against race mixing” idea at all. My problem with the idea of pre Colombia Americas as India is that, well where the hell did the brown people come from that the Aryans supposedly race mixed with? Settlement of the Americas was east to west so those guys were all Aryan, the ones who crossed the land bridge were thousands of years later, and even if they were as brown as they’re alleged to be I don’t see how small numbers of Siberian tribesmen could have browned an entire populated continent.  
<2022-03-19T16:27:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: I guess that's a fair point
<2022-03-19T16:27:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: need to find more genetic info
<2022-03-19T16:30:32.000Z> SerfnUSA: But this also gets into the question of “what and why are brown people?” My personal belief is that Tolkien tapped into a pure vein of  blood memory when creating orcs, that fallen angels corrupted a portion of pure creations in defiance of God, but I only think this is true of black Africans. If I’m right then hypothetically nephilim could have done the same in the Americas but if you’re taking the scientific route how did the lower level hominids that came out of Africa wind up in the Americas in large numbers for the atlantean/Aryans to mix with?
<2022-03-19T16:32:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah if there's any truth to that, it would only be for Australoids and Africans
<2022-03-19T16:32:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: every other race has at least some redeeming qualities 
<2022-03-19T16:33:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: though I take the opposite tack and believe aryans were descended from devas that fell to earth and gradually degenerated
<2022-03-19T16:34:07.000Z> SerfnUSA: I can respect that notion 
<2022-03-19T16:34:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: youtube.com/watch?v=fjiRrzxynPQ
<2022-03-19T16:34:29.000Z> SerfnUSA: Same with the notion that blacks exist as karmic punishment 
<2022-03-19T16:34:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: >Same with the notion that blacks exist as karmic punishment I can only imagine what leads to birth as an African
<2022-03-19T16:35:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: strong desire but also strong ignorance?
<2022-03-19T16:35:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: need to ask a qualified lama that's deeply aware of race science
<2022-03-19T16:38:55.000Z> SerfnUSA: I mean, wouldn’t it just be typical nigger behavior gets you born as a nigger? That seems logical to me but of course I’m not a karma guy 
<2022-03-19T16:40:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: from what I can tell from the most convincing accounts of rebirth & thousands of years of tradition, if you have consecutive rebirths as a human it'll probably be among the same race
<2022-03-19T16:41:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: which frankly makes intuitive sense and I don't understand how someone thinks a peasant in Thailand would have the karmic conditions to be reborn as a modern burger
<2022-03-19T16:41:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: this is a hyperspecific diss
<2022-03-19T16:41:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: there's actually a book going over the most convincing cases suggestive of rebirth from a buddhist pov if you're interested
<2022-03-19T16:46:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: one of the more interesting cases I can remember was this young girl in Burma who had unusually masculine & distinctly Japanese mannerisms, including knowing a few japanese words
<2022-03-19T16:46:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: and in her village some time earlier, a Japanese plane was shot down and the pilot died
<2022-03-19T16:47:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: but at least there was a connection there
<2022-03-19T21:45:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: lol trannies already started to amend MAR Barker's Wikipedia page and added him to the neo-nazi and holocaust denier categories 
<2022-03-19T21:45:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe I can use this to convince people to check out Tekumel shit, since it's genuinely my favorite conworld
<2022-03-19T21:53:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: >I put an immediate stop to my long-running EPT campaign and cancelled my scheduled GaryCon games when I saw the news. I was fortunate that both my group and the con organizers were very understanding. One of my major concerns (amongst many) is that the various religions are tightly interwoven into the game the way I run Tekumel. I do not consider myself competent to spot various antisemitic tropes that could be hiding in the game's religions. It is not impossible that I might return to Tekumel one day, if a thorough examination has been done by competent people. For now, I consider it to be a minefield, and my metal detector is woefully inadequate for the task of navigating it.
<2022-03-19T21:53:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: I can't get over the reaction to this lmao
<2022-03-19T21:53:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: this is from one of the guys who's been boosting it in the decade since the original author died
<2022-03-19T21:54:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: now he's terrified some aspect of the setting might imply jews aren't faultless

<2022-03-26T17:53:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's actually the best setting for that sort of thing in a gacha, it even comes with crazy inexplicably well-armed factions by default
<2022-03-26T17:53:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: weird how BA does almost everything that made me swear off gachas beyond AL, but the setting & characters are so absurdly fun I'm in love

<2022-04-04T17:31:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah, good
<2022-04-04T17:32:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: but it's not like these people don't deserve it
<2022-04-04T17:32:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: in hindsight I don't know if "I hope you die in a mass shooting courtesy of some guy you think is just a loser" is rally a fedpost
<2022-04-04T17:45:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: More like a consequence of that kind of mindset 
<2022-04-05T20:11:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: resisting the urge to go full contrarian and say Japan is "over" as a civilization unless it joins up with China and the real appeal is how it's post-ww2 America but better in every way
<2022-04-05T20:12:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: should check out the state of chinese media, apparently they're very big on historical retellings lately, at least partially as an attempt to remind the people of their past 
<2022-04-05T20:16:47.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s impossible to deny that just based on demographics and resources, and more importantly geography and the collective sweep of history that japan will almost always be a part of chinas sphere of influence, their status as an American puppet was always temporary 
<2022-04-05T20:17:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: inshallah they'll return to their family
<2022-04-05T20:17:27.000Z> SerfnUSA: That being said if China doesn’t fix its birth rates then it’s not going to be ruling anyone 
<2022-04-05T20:17:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: I really am curious if China will attempt some hard imperialism 
<2022-04-05T20:18:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: because the 1 child policy did have some very unfortunate demographic effects, though at the time I still suspect it was a reasonable policy
<2022-04-05T20:18:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: basically they have a lot of men who will never get married in a time of material prosperity, and I'm curious what they plan to do about that
<2022-04-05T20:18:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: having them marry uyghur women, if that's indeed happening, can only do so much
<2022-04-05T20:19:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: I don’t even mean one child, I mean now. Their millennials aren’t having kids either, and unlike Korea and japan they don’t have the excuse of being locked into anti natal feminism due to being occupied by zog
<2022-04-05T20:20:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: that's definitely a big problem 
<2022-04-05T20:20:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: my gut feeling sez the government should pay their best and brightest a shitload of money to have a lot of children
<2022-04-05T20:20:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: like 10 each
<2022-04-05T20:20:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's going to suck for everyone else, but taking the long-term approach it's possible China won't need 1 billion+ people
<2022-04-05T20:21:32.000Z> SerfnUSA: Also wonder how sincere their anti Japanese sentiments are, Koreans obviously sincerely hate japs But chinamen, deceitful power grabblers that they are, strike me as doing faux outrage inspired by the example of the Holocaust for political gain more than having an earnest desire to see the Japanese race destroyed like Koreans 
<2022-04-05T20:21:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: from what I can tell, the Chinese just think of the Japanese as vacuous 
<2022-04-05T20:22:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: they don't really have a future as-is, no real plans beyond comfortably fading away, no ability to do anything until they escape America's shadow
<2022-04-05T20:22:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: a part of me wonders if demographic collapse is an overblown fear tbh
<2022-04-05T20:23:10.000Z> SerfnUSA: If their anti Japanese sentiments could be toned down they could have a very fruitful relationship after America collapses  
<2022-04-05T20:23:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: like, yeah it's terrifying if you're importing millions of foreigners a year who will retain high birth rates for a few generations, but otherwise shrinking populations seem alright
<2022-04-05T20:23:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: overtime the average person will have more to do, more land, more freedom, and they'll be willing to have more kids
<2022-04-05T20:23:52.000Z> SerfnUSA: We’ll see
<2022-04-05T20:24:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: some highly urbanized populations in France are seeing a marked increase in birth rates because the people that weren't having kids didn't have kids and eventually they died out
<2022-04-05T20:24:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: basically everything reaches equilibrium 
<2022-04-05T20:24:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: the problem I see is what are millennials and zoomers the world over going to do with all that land of that happens, we have basically no skills on the whole 
<2022-04-05T20:25:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: they'll relearn or die 
<2022-04-05T20:25:30.000Z> SerfnUSA: Yeah that’s why it wkll
<2022-04-05T20:25:40.000Z> SerfnUSA: be hard times 
<2022-04-05T20:25:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: yep
<2022-04-05T20:26:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: the nice part is you really can't lose, if you die you won't even have to live with the shame of defeat 
<2022-04-05T20:28:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: mood's finally returning to normal lately lol
<2022-04-05T20:29:03.000Z> SerfnUSA: HH brother happy to hear it
<2022-04-05T20:32:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: one day I'll stop backsliding on dietary + physical + meditative practice the moment my situation is mildly disrupted lol
<2022-04-05T20:32:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: not sure if I should admit this in public, but I genuinely get worse when I'm eating too much eat
<2022-04-05T20:32:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: overly depressive, lower thought processes take over
<2022-04-05T20:32:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: not sure why
<2022-04-05T20:38:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: I am continuing a grand tradition of sages by meditating before posting about sodomizing my enemies, I think
<2022-04-06T02:33:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: Watch MagiPoka
<2022-04-06T02:34:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: youtube.com/watch?v=-5j61CpJi0I
<2022-04-07T01:09:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: job I applied for actually got back to me for an interview, raise those arms and send some energy
<2022-04-07T02:40:02.000Z> SerfnUSA: 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
<2022-04-07T13:26:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: oh shit Irresponsible Captain Tylor is on jewtube courtesy of the guys that own the license
<2022-04-07T13:26:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrrh84y760v_hdnzI0fga_ZrpjYv4rbUo
<2022-04-07T13:26:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: watch yourself some anime kino
<2022-04-07T14:02:31.000Z> SerfnUSA: 👁
<2022-04-07T14:10:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: I was talking about it to a friend of mine and apparently the series is a parody of Legend of the Galactic Heroes
<2022-04-07T14:10:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: at least judging by the events
<2022-04-07T14:10:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: one day I'll watch that
<2022-04-08T02:13:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: teenage alien space princess tummy window uohhhhhhhhhhhh https://i.poastcdn.org/3725172354884ab29d09b3451f7f39628b3006d950114f66f915a85c28114ee8.jpg
<2022-04-08T02:13:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: *space empress
<2022-04-08T02:27:18.000Z> SerfnUSA: Pointy ears 👁👁
<2022-04-08T02:27:30.000Z> SerfnUSA: I love it when aliens are just elves 
<2022-04-08T02:27:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: turbaned space elves
<2022-04-08T02:36:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: > According to the box set liner notes, the producers weren't keen on the light novels' original depiction of the romance between Tylor and Azalyn — not when Tylor was close to 30 and Azalyn was 10. One of the demands by the producers was that Tylor's age was to be reduced to 20, and Azalyn's to be increased to 16.
<2022-04-08T02:37:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: cowardly anime people deprived us of alien elf empress cunny ;_;
<2022-04-08T03:54:01.000Z> SerfnUSA: Unforgivable 
<2022-04-08T12:36:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't know if Tylor actually being close to 30 makes him funnier or weirder
<2022-04-08T12:36:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: somehow it feels like the lucky fool archetype is more of a young man thing
<2022-04-08T13:07:20.000Z> SerfnUSA: 30 is the new 20
<2022-04-08T13:13:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: that always sounded like cope, but I guess I'll know when I get there
<2022-04-08T13:14:58.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s a cope
<2022-04-08T13:15:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: Well, it’s half a cope half tricking women to not get married and have kids young
<2022-04-08T13:18:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: oh man please don't tell me women are told that too
<2022-04-08T13:18:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: at least for men there's some kind of logic that theoretically in your 30s you'll have had a good amount of time to stack paper/sort your shit out
<2022-04-08T13:18:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: genuinely never seen an attractive woman older than ~28
<2022-04-08T13:23:42.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s pretty much only told to women my man, the only reason it gets directed to us sometimes is because of cultural osmosis 
<2022-04-08T13:24:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: the little reminders I'm absurdly divorced from mainstream society
<2022-04-08T13:24:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: not sure if this is something to be proud of
<2022-04-08T13:25:16.000Z> SerfnUSA: >he’s never watched sex and the city 
<2022-04-08T13:26:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: nope
<2022-04-08T13:27:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: however, I have seen Mean Girls
<2022-04-08T13:27:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: but only to cultivate an understanding of realpolitik to help in Diplomacy
<2022-04-08T13:28:57.000Z> SerfnUSA: Mean girls is required viewing to communicate with office women, sex and the city is very helpful viewing to try and understand them 
<2022-04-08T13:29:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: there are many things that confuse me but I don't care to understand them
<2022-04-08T13:29:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think the mind of the roastie is some kind of eldritch horror man wasn't meant to konw
<2022-04-08T13:44:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: Pretty much, I guess you don’t need to watch it after all, that’s the long and short of it
<2022-04-08T13:48:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: things I genuinely believe: 
<2022-04-08T13:49:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: the most recent wars are actually the most interesting and I can only assume people who think ancient warfare is the most compelling are more about the romantic image 
<2022-04-08T13:49:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: war has gradually turned into a weird game of Diplomacy + poker and that's interesting to stduy
<2022-04-08T13:51:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: the Napoleonic wars were where it really becomes interesting to study imo
<2022-04-08T13:53:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: really ought to read Unrestricted Warfare
<2022-04-08T13:53:56.000Z> SerfnUSA: Tengu hates myth and the national soul episode 371628
<2022-04-08T13:54:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: is it my fault reality ends up being more interesting than stories?
<2022-04-08T13:55:01.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s your fault for seeing it that way, yeah
<2022-04-08T13:56:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: I grew up reading a mix of fairy tales and history books and realized the fairy tales were just a reflection of reality suitable for peasant consumption, the wheel of history is literally turned by weirdo cultists and feuding clans whose lineages can be traced back thousands of years
<2022-04-08T13:56:43.000Z> tengumatingpress attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/d02875847510e665403ad2761829d7be1d0f8c6c2dab590224a2c2f5c9616c67.jpg
<2022-04-08T13:59:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: >The book argues that the primary weakness of the United States in military matters is that the US views revolution in military thought solely in terms of technology. The book further argues that to the US, military doctrine evolves because new technology allows new capabilities. As such, the book argues that the United States does not consider the wider picture of military strategy, which includes legal and economic factors. The book proceeds to argue that the United States is vulnerable to attacks along these lines
<2022-04-08T13:59:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: this was in 1999 before the war on terror btw
<2022-04-08T14:00:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: from the Unrestricted Warfare book
<2022-04-08T14:04:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: anyway in a few centuries the tales from this era will make it seem like the peak of human intrigue, romance, conflict
<2022-04-08T14:04:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm with McLuhan on how our current mode of living is more similar to premodern times than the 17th to mid-20th centuries
<2022-04-08T15:37:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: still thinking about how Sun Tzu and the 36 Stratagems could've been written as advice for modern warfare
<2022-04-08T20:59:25.000Z> tengumatingpress attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/ff2e7da13401b313329707eda869ca51dceeed5a477e509c10ec1c97d83b9562.png
<2022-04-08T20:59:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: >show this family>mention that it's fair because they were given the land and can do whatever they want with it and really it's more important to go on vacation and enjoy time as a family
<2022-04-08T20:59:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: gen xers are basically just boomers
<2022-04-08T21:01:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: I get that my mom had some very bad blood with her sister because she screwed her out of basically everything and my family got nothing, but "oh I dont' want my kids fighting over my stuff" isn't a valid reason to just throw it all away on cheap shit
<2022-04-09T21:12:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: >get access to vape fluid again>takes become 20x spicier than before
<2022-04-09T21:12:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: MASHALLAH
<2022-04-10T02:24:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: still trying to figure out how to properly run a wargame-cum-rpg while keeping PC actions in-scale with faction leaders
<2022-04-10T02:24:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: I guess I can do 1:1 time for both, but then I'd just be updating faction heads on events daily
<2022-04-10T02:25:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: or maybe I can just give them weekly updates and have them make 1 action that week & allow them to discuss shit with other players in the meantime
<2022-04-10T14:58:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: don't know if I'm autistic enough to drop what I'm currently being autistic about to write about the deep themes of Dororo
<2022-04-10T14:58:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: genuinely the best anime I've watched in a long time
<2022-04-10T14:58:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: probably one of my top 5 
<2022-04-10T15:04:59.000Z> SerfnUSA: Have you watched the original?
<2022-04-10T15:07:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: tbh I'm a pleb that can't vibe with really old animation
<2022-04-10T15:10:12.000Z> SerfnUSA: Understandable 
<2022-04-10T15:53:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: just finished a job interview
<2022-04-10T15:53:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: man I hate the tone you have to take with that shit, but as long as I don't mean any of it in my heart I can live with the sociable bitchboy act
<2022-04-10T17:03:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: ok, I've got a take on Dororo that will make you watch it
<2022-04-10T17:03:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's about the housing market
<2022-04-10T17:04:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: Hyakkimaru is the millenial/zoomer that crushes the system by not paying taxes while taking out huge loans
<2022-04-10T17:04:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: it will crash the economy, but fuck it, it was fake and gay
<2022-04-10T18:08:03.000Z> SerfnUSA: Zoomer revolution of total destruction against the stagnant parasitic gentrocracy is always something I can get behind 
<2022-04-12T16:28:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: should probably stop the self-deprecating shit, winter's over lol
<2022-04-12T16:28:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: though in hindsight I don't think maladaptive daydreaming is really such a bad thing
<2022-04-12T16:40:02.000Z> SerfnUSA: If you don’t imagine scenarios where the people you don’t like are getting killed and you save all the people you do like idk what you’re thinking about 
<2022-04-12T16:48:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: "oh sorry boss, I was just daydreaming about killing you and raping everything you love, won't happen again on company time"
<2022-04-15T00:57:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: poa.st/@tengumatingpress/posts/AISL1OHWbU2tvakJ9M
<2022-04-15T00:58:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: pls boost
<2022-04-16T20:39:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: think if I bring back meditationpoasting I should probably bring up the actually important part
<2022-04-16T20:39:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: too many people have the mindset that you just meditate for personal reasons and that'll somehow make you enlightened without action, what good is having inner strength and a compassionate mindset if none of it is devoted to others
<2022-04-18T20:10:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: starting to feel like an idiot for sleeping on One Piece for so long holy shit
<2022-04-18T20:57:15.000Z> SerfnUSA: >shounen 
<2022-04-18T21:14:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's not my fault it's good
<2022-04-18T21:29:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: have a job interview for a groundskeeping position tomorrow, wish me luck
<2022-04-18T21:29:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: tbh kind of hoping this one pans out, seems like an ideal job for me overall
<2022-04-18T22:43:51.000Z> SerfnUSA: I do plan to read it someday 
<2022-04-18T22:44:09.000Z> SerfnUSA: And I’ll be praying for you brother 
<2022-04-19T17:17:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: don't want to jinx it,  but I think the interview went well
<2022-04-19T17:17:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: hit it off with the guy doing the interview, was mostly honest about my skills, he seemed pretty pleased that I was very confident in my ability to pass a background check and a drug test
<2022-04-19T17:17:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: plus the job itself offers 2 weeks paid vacation, it's employee-owned, and after 3 years you could birthdays off and 10 weeks paternity leave
<2022-04-19T17:57:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: welp, just got a call saying no license is going to be an issue, but he did say I should reapply once I have it 
<2022-04-19T17:57:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: fuck me then
<2022-04-19T21:07:55.000Z> SerfnUSA: How long to get a license?
<2022-04-19T21:08:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: managed to work things out so I should be able to drive every day
<2022-04-19T21:08:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: hopefully no more than 3 months, but fuck I never feel good after driving
<2022-04-19T21:09:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: very stressful, traffic here is awful and my neighborhood is nightmarish because of all the hills and weird curves
<2022-04-22T18:17:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: btw next month I'll be starting that AD&D campaign, I know you almost certainly wouldn't be able to drop in for regular sessions, but do you think you'd be up for running a major NPC/group?
<2022-04-22T18:17:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: wanting to seed the campaign world with those, handling it fairly casually
<2022-04-22T18:17:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: just having a monthly income, forces that could be sent to do whatever across the map, being given reports on whatever's going on in the world 
<2022-04-22T18:17:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: could be run through dms
<2022-04-22T18:21:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: already have a guy interested in playing as a major Cleric faction
<2022-04-22T18:49:04.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’d just have to answer questions and tell you ideas over dm? I could do that 
<2022-04-22T18:53:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: sounds good
<2022-04-22T18:53:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: anything you think sounds cool?
<2022-04-22T18:54:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: regarding ideas, if you don't have anything in mind I'll keep recruiting other guys and see if I can come up with anything interesting or if another group emerges through random encounters I can assign it to you
<2022-04-22T19:01:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: not asking for mechanical knowledge or consulting the books, just what sounds like something you'd be interested in
<2022-04-22T19:08:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: Antediluvian nephilim wars
<2022-04-22T19:08:51.000Z> SerfnUSA: Or whatever really
<2022-04-22T19:10:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: you know, there actually are some monster races that could be themed that way
<2022-04-22T19:10:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: how about running a lair of ancient fishmen attempting to reemerge into the world?
<2022-04-22T19:11:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: oh, or psychic pirates from the old world that live between dimensions?
<2022-04-22T19:12:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: wanting to use shit from the Fiend Folio, the ones I mentioned are kuo-toa and githyanki, respectively
<2022-04-22T19:12:54.000Z> tengumatingpress attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/cde3067af751ff65167fa7ee39c02f929eec9eccccda21039d1d97c8081b29a8.pdf
<2022-04-22T19:17:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: if you come up with anything feel free to tell me, you've probably got about 2 weeks if you're up for it
<2022-04-22T19:20:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't have any particular setting mind beyond what's implied by the rules themselves
<2022-04-22T19:21:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: post-collapse, broadly medieval technology for most, etc
<2022-04-22T19:21:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: so feel free to go crazy
<2022-04-23T18:44:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: >got a guy on the hook running an order of cowgirl knights 
<2022-04-23T18:45:19.000Z> tengumatingpress: well alright then wasn't planning on going full anime, but now I have an excuse 
<2022-04-23T19:16:57.000Z> SerfnUSA: Idk if my fish monster people need to be at sort of premodern weapons tech but I’m imagining them as sort of sea nigs who moved into the ruins of atlantis and decided that they wuz Atlanteans and plane the surface for destroying their ancestors. They can ape some of the really basic tech but free energy/energy weapons are all off the table. 
<2022-04-23T19:19:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: I can work with that 
<2022-04-23T19:19:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: Do you still want at least the elites having half-understood tech from Atlantis?
<2022-04-23T19:20:33.000Z> SerfnUSA: I could go either way 
<2022-04-23T19:20:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: I can get started rolling up the fishman lair 
<2022-04-23T21:13:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: holy shit kuo-toa lairs have absurd amounts of shit
<2022-04-23T21:13:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: guess it'll be nice to have an obviously strong more or less antagonistic force, not trying for balance here
<2022-04-24T14:38:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: this is mildly doxable but holy shit
<2022-04-24T14:38:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: a while back when my dad was in the military he got blackballed because his boss at a certain base tried inviting him to join some swinger's group among the officers
<2022-04-24T14:38:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: that former boss was recently arrested for running a CP ring
<2022-04-24T14:40:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: the military sucks so hard lol
<2022-04-24T14:40:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: mind you the guy in question was a contractor, but he had clout within the community and a good amount of officers were part of that group
<2022-04-24T14:41:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: absolutely fucked shit going on there
<2022-04-24T15:27:23.000Z> SerfnUSA: I live near one of the biggest us military bases and its an open secret around here that it’s a disaster and has been for years 
<2022-04-24T15:29:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: the funny thing is on the base where that was going on my dad mentioned having a hunch screwy shit was going on
<2022-04-24T15:29:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: the kids of many officers acted real fucking weird at functions, he was wondering if they were getting molested
<2022-04-24T15:29:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: guess this confirms that, huh
<2022-04-24T15:57:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: a bit disappointed family still gets mad when I say the institution is rotten and unreformable
<2022-04-24T15:57:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: in general reformists are delusional imo
<2022-04-24T15:58:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: if the rot gets too deep the only thing to do is leave it to its fate, don't encourage decent people to join because they won't fix it, at most they'll keep it propped up
<2022-04-27T15:22:03.000Z> tengumatingpress attached file https://i.poastcdn.org/fba8a5147e1cc0414c188492bc60df286441d012fbb1eaab643b108370edad39.txt
<2022-04-27T15:22:18.000Z> tengumatingpress: here's what I've got for the fishman lair, for cleric spells and shit assassins can do you might need the campaign
<2022-04-27T15:22:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: I might have misinterpreted something and given you less than the book says, will consult the bros but holy shit kuo-toa have a lot of shit
<2022-04-27T15:22:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: also added some hooks & what I'd do to fit htem in, but of course feel free to give your own input
<2022-04-27T15:23:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: >forgot to write how many troops they have
<2022-04-27T15:23:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: fug, it's an ez fix so just look over it, give input, even add some shit you'd consider to be goals for them, etc
<2022-04-27T15:23:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: have to roll up 2 more factions for other guys for now
<2022-04-27T15:24:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: oh yeah, the other guy who might be on is running a cleric faction based around dabbing on Keekihime/Takanashi Kiara
<2022-04-28T23:59:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: Did you ever look over the shit I sent?
<2022-04-28T23:59:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: planning on having the campaign start on the first Saturday of May 
<2022-04-29T00:00:01.000Z> tengumatingpress: of course you don't need to be present, but starting then you'll be able to give orders 
<2022-04-29T00:05:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: not sure if you have the books, but kuo-toas having so many high-level assassins means you're pretty good on running spies and assassination attempts, though of course there's a chance of failure 
<2022-04-29T01:42:50.000Z> SerfnUSA: I saw and I’ve never done anything like this so I’ll give you ideas if you present things to me but you’re gonna need to do most of the work I have no idea how to decide things like how many troops they have 
<2022-04-29T01:43:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah, it's all in the fiend folio, I just neglected to do the math as to who's armed with what
<2022-04-29T01:43:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'll of course handle most of that shit
<2022-04-29T01:43:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: at most I'll ask for general plans if you send them out to do shit
<2022-04-29T01:44:09.000Z> SerfnUSA: They are currently on the hunt for white women 
<2022-04-29T01:44:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: yet they have nigger elves
<2022-04-29T01:44:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: curious!
<2022-04-29T01:44:41.000Z> tengumatingpress: as slaves, rather
<2022-04-29T01:44:50.000Z> SerfnUSA: Yes exactly 
<2022-04-29T01:46:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: wasn't expecting le white wimmin hunt, but I'll go for it
<2022-04-29T01:47:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: whites (humans) or whites of all races
<2022-04-29T01:52:30.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ll let you decide what passes for white in your world 
<2022-04-29T01:52:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah it's a gradient
<2022-04-29T01:52:58.000Z> tengumatingpress: are anime cowgirls hwite?
<2022-04-29T01:53:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: are moon bunnies hwite?
<2022-04-29T01:53:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: deep philosophical questions
<2022-04-29T01:53:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: elves are of course basically niggers
<2022-04-29T01:53:28.000Z> SerfnUSA: Would mongoose tweet them? Then they’re white 
<2022-04-29T01:53:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: but then brown girls are white
<2022-04-29T01:53:55.000Z> SerfnUSA: The white ones are, yeah 
<2022-04-29T01:54:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think going by Gygaxian logic the demihuman-monste rdistinction is basically white-nonwhite
<2022-04-29T15:46:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: realized I totally forgot to roll the anime fish niggers' treasure for you
<2022-04-29T15:46:28.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'll get that sent over
<2022-05-03T22:11:32.000Z> tengumatingpress: >sister's 23andme results in 
<2022-05-03T22:11:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: time to see how much flesh I'll have to carve out
<2022-05-03T22:13:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: >0% jewish
<2022-05-03T22:13:29.000Z> tengumatingpress: SUCK IT
<2022-05-03T22:14:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: No non-European ancestry 
<2022-05-03T22:20:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: Came back mostly Italian, English, Irish, Scandinavian, and Finnish 
<2022-05-03T22:56:38.000Z> SerfnUSA: E V R O P A
<2022-05-03T22:56:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: Congrats bro 
<2022-05-04T13:14:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: It never stops being depressing how christian rock overtook America's hymn tradition 
<2022-05-04T13:14:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: youtube.com/watch?v=fjL2sSfxB2o
<2022-05-04T13:14:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: this is what burger protestantism used to be about 
<2022-05-04T16:47:31.000Z> SerfnUSA: Was thinking about this today 
<2022-05-04T16:49:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: oh?
<2022-05-04T16:49:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: I tried showing it to my mom because she keeps listening to christian rock and she didn't like it because it sounded "sad" and the lyrics apparently weren't a good message?
<2022-05-04T16:50:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: not even a Christian but I'm pretty sure Babylon falling is a Good Thing from that pov
<2022-05-04T17:20:18.000Z> SerfnUSA: Yeah there’s a lot of people my age who go to my church but I never meet them because they go to the shitty contemporary service to listen to shitty rock and I go to the traditional service with the organ and choir with all the old people. Thinking about how much my generation sucks 🤣 
<2022-05-04T17:28:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: I remember one time I went to some megachurch with family and it was an awful experience
<2022-05-04T17:28:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: way too loud, had the band on stage, the sermon was a powerpoint presentation that was more a peptalk than anything else
<2022-05-04T17:28:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: don't really understand the demographic tbh
<2022-05-04T17:28:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: also way too crowded imo, but I guess from a church pov that isn't the worst thing in the world
<2022-05-04T17:29:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: if a community's too large there's really no point joining imo, certainly won't have the chance to meet many interesting people
<2022-05-04T17:29:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: not sure if that's an autism thing
<2022-05-04T17:31:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: best church I ever went to was when I was at an orthodox church for a few months, it was pretty cozy, out in the woods, about ~20 people
<2022-05-04T18:10:49.000Z> SerfnUSA: Bigger churches have big advantages for families, it means your kids will have other kids their age to interact with and the church can afford to do a lot of events for kids to participate in
<2022-05-04T18:12:02.000Z> SerfnUSA: And while the services may be too big to interact with anyone they’re going to be a lot more small groups. So as an adult you can interact with people on your generation, your hobbies, etc, instead of just with the 15 old guys 
<2022-05-04T18:12:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: If it’s all managed well the bigger it is there’s actually more opportunity for intimacy and community, though it is easier to slip through the cracks 
<2022-05-04T18:22:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, I naturally slip through the cracks tbh
<2022-05-07T20:16:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: yo was Xenoblade Chronicles 1 good?
<2022-05-07T23:36:02.000Z> SerfnUSA: I found the original release to be more of a slog than fun but the remake quality of life changes fixed most of those so I quite enjoyed it
<2022-05-07T23:42:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: nothing went right today 
<2022-05-07T23:42:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: shit was an awful clusterfuck and now I have to unfuck my sink 
<2022-05-07T23:42:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: literally right as I was going to start session 1
<2022-05-07T23:56:44.000Z> SerfnUSA: Sorry to hear that brother 
<2022-05-08T00:04:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: It's fine 
<2022-05-08T00:04:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: Was feeling really bummed, but fuck it
<2022-05-08T00:05:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: Hopefully players will show patience and we can try again same time next week 
<2022-05-08T00:05:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: At any rate shit's been hectic, my sis goes home in a few days and hopefully things will cool down 
<2022-05-08T00:06:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: Fortunately the leak itself was just a fucked up pipe, got a new one and about to install
<2022-05-09T15:20:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: my sister keeps punishing my dog because he growls at my niece 
<2022-05-09T15:21:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: she says it's for no reason, but she keeps harassing him while he's lying down, blocks his path when he tries leaving the room, pulls his tail 
<2022-05-09T15:21:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm trying to tell her that punishing him for growling might make him skip to the more violent ways of getting people to leave him alone 
<2022-05-09T15:21:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: he's a good dog, just not used to being harassed 
<2022-05-09T15:22:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: worried if she moves in with us I'll have to get rid of him 
<2022-05-09T15:59:22.000Z> SerfnUSA: That’s a shame
<2022-05-09T15:59:31.000Z> SerfnUSA: What sort of dog is he?
<2022-05-09T16:05:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: he's a malamute
<2022-05-09T16:05:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: but of a dumb asshole, but he's very friendly 
<2022-05-09T16:06:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: I mean the first few days she was here she immediately started pulling his tail whenever he was in the room and he didn't attack
<2022-05-09T16:27:00.000Z> SerfnUSA: His patience has its limits 
<2022-05-09T16:29:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah
<2022-05-09T16:29:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: she's acting like he's awful when he's been very patient under the circumstances
<2022-05-09T16:29:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: there are toys everywhere, he can't take his naps in his favorite spot, some kid is yanking on his tail & harassing him
<2022-05-09T16:29:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: one of the family's cats actually scratched her yesterday for harassing her
<2022-05-09T16:29:53.000Z> tengumatingpress: the one that's like 17-18 years old
<2022-05-16T21:03:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: fuck man
<2022-05-16T21:03:55.000Z> tengumatingpress: grandma may have had a stroke recently and she called my sister asking if they can come over so she can see her husband and kids
<2022-05-16T21:04:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: she was asking to make it as fast as possible, not a good sign
<2022-05-16T21:05:25.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’m really sorry to hear that man, im praying for you and yours 
<2022-05-16T21:30:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: thanks
<2022-05-16T21:30:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'll be making my way over with them
<2022-06-02T22:41:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: >work offers some food as a "perk" of the job>ask for some scallops>have horrible indigestion all day the next day
<2022-06-02T22:41:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: t-thanks
<2022-06-02T22:41:25.000Z> tengumatingpress: not to sound ungrateful but I certainly won't be eating their food again
<2022-06-02T22:41:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: mind you I can normally eat them without issue, have no seafood allergy or whatever

<2022-06-10T01:32:09.000Z> SerfnUSA: That’s the gist of it. There’s some stickers in other places 
<2022-06-10T01:32:27.000Z> tengumatingpress: powerful
<2022-06-10T01:33:21.000Z> SerfnUSA: The Émile Bertin is a garage kit, that’s probably the most interesting piece 
<2022-06-10T01:35:26.000Z> tengumatingpress: the first jap to figure out a suitable scale for using anime figurines in wargames will be rich
<2022-06-10T01:35:57.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's pretty difficult to make cute girls in the usual scales, even 28mm isn't really enough
<2022-06-10T01:36:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: or maybe western sculptors are just shit
<2022-06-10T01:42:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: oh wait, Kingdom Death is 28mm
<2022-06-10T01:42:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/a/image/1639/09/1639092659829.png
<2022-06-10T01:42:22.000Z> tengumatingpress: guess the big publishers just don't care
<2022-06-10T04:29:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: may Allah forgive me, I'm considering spending money on AL
<2022-06-10T04:29:13.000Z> tengumatingpress: to get at that Aegir skin since I unlocked her and am currently grinding her up
<2022-06-10T04:29:31.000Z> tengumatingpress: at least to dev 15, at that point she's more or less functional, just missing some hp & damage
<2022-06-10T04:29:35.000Z> tengumatingpress: fuck the research system
<2022-06-10T12:21:27.000Z> SerfnUSA: Sad!
<2022-06-10T15:44:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's actually hilarious how unga Aegir is
<2022-06-10T15:44:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: doing some quick napkin math, even at dev 15 if her skills are maxed out and she has an HE CB gun she still outdamages my maxed out Kron
<2022-06-10T15:45:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: not sure about tankiness though
<2022-06-10T15:45:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: the EVA boost while she still has ammo is absurd though, so she's clearly more of a boss bote
<2022-06-10T15:46:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: unfortunately the only CB gun I have is Kron's from her event ;_;
<2022-06-10T15:46:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: maybe I could sideline her for a bit and just have Saint Louis take up mob tank duty
<2022-06-19T13:27:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: seriously though, I didn't even know your avatar was a 7 Deadly Sins thing
<2022-06-19T13:29:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: also no idea why you assumed I'd be upset enough over you not enjoying a series I particularly enjoy to constantly make passive-aggressive posts over this, if I have come off as the sort of person that would I really am sorry and somewhat ashamed
<2022-06-19T13:33:53.000Z> SerfnUSA: I’ll take you on your word that you accidentally stumbled into what really really looked like you subposting me. Sorry for overreacting, I deleted that comment. 
<2022-06-19T13:34:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: that's why I wasn't even upset over some of the comments there, just confused
<2022-06-19T13:37:30.000Z> tengumatingpress: outside of occasional ribbing I wouldn't go around insulting someone I consider a friend over different tastes in Japanese cartoons 
<2022-06-19T18:08:15.000Z> tengumatingpress: for context, the pic I posted was circulating in the "fuck Japan for being sexist and evil but also I must see the teenage boys in these shows buttfuck" side of anime twitter, so it was more seeing them as a tribal signifier than "fuck you if you enjoy these shows on their merits"
<2022-06-19T20:31:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: anyway again, I'm sorry if it seemed like I was going after you too hard re ribbing you over liking shit I dislike, if I'm just being a dick over it please tell me 
<2022-06-19T20:35:07.000Z> tengumatingpress: since from what way you phrased it I was wondering if I was being an ass earlier
<2022-06-19T20:35:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: seems it was just a misunderstanding, but it's not like previous interactions don't create context for a misunderstanding 
<2022-06-20T00:28:10.000Z> SerfnUSA: I can read too much into things, you can be abrasive, I can be abrasive, it’s a dangerous mix. I’ll try to do better about taking a deep breath or two and dming you first if I feel like things are off
<2022-06-20T00:31:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: thanks man
<2022-07-10T19:44:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: sometimes I worry I go too far in making epic joke poasts about cunny and it reflects poorly on me
<2022-07-10T19:45:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: poa.st/@tengumatingpress/posts/ALM8gmaL6PUjzNgQee
<2022-07-10T19:45:09.000Z> tengumatingpress: this was fire, however
<2022-07-20T01:39:29.000Z> SerfnUSA: Unboxing our le Triomphant figure https://i.poastcdn.org/a000c9b4e371b3f6692646434d6c7740fb45edbb089bb5d33ecc79c3dc72abac.jpeg
<2022-07-20T01:40:01.000Z> SerfnUSA: In case you were curious what she looks like under that big cloak and puffy skirt  https://i.poastcdn.org/1cdb8e7f1b7502dfef5febb2a71b6a061478f36ce1d142f04cb6c87bed752cbf.jpeg
<2022-07-20T02:04:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: thumbnail made it look like nopan, what a shame
<2022-07-20T02:04:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: gess there's a limit to how based they can get
<2022-07-20T02:05:45.000Z> SerfnUSA: Ah well
<2022-07-20T02:05:53.000Z> SerfnUSA: Sorry to disappoint 
<2022-07-20T03:28:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: Nah it's a good figurine
<2022-07-20T03:28:12.000Z> tengumatingpress: When I get a 3D printer I might try printing some out 
<2022-07-26T18:26:07.000Z> SerfnUSA: A family friend of ours was a firefighter for 40 years and when he retired he didn’t know what to do with himself and eventually took up painting, and despite never painting before in his life he found he really had a gift for it and after just a few months he was selling his paintings for hundreds of dollars. Point being: if you’re interested in art just go for it, you might have a gift for it but even if you don’t you can put in the work, and starting age has nothing to do with it 
<2022-07-26T18:38:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: huh, really good on him
<2022-07-26T18:39:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, just a silly thought to have in general
<2022-08-19T01:23:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: I get this was mostly a joke and aimed at DK's jackass antics over the past few days, but I'm really sick of this shit and can't wait for something else to grab the mob's attention poa.st/notice/AMfUhrlKtxxCYZxzIO
<2022-08-19T02:28:09.000Z> SerfnUSA: it was 100% a hell/heaven pun
<2022-08-19T02:28:19.000Z> SerfnUSA: i have nothing but love for dk
<2022-08-19T02:28:31.000Z> SerfnUSA: havent read a single one of those hellthreads
<2022-08-19T02:30:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: yeah, I figured as much 
<2022-08-19T02:31:54.000Z> tengumatingpress: still seeing some weird sentiments lately, like a mutual of mine quoting some bible verses and interpreting them as "christians can't be friends with nonchristians", which I'll be fair and assume he was just angry at the time 
<2022-08-19T02:38:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: in hindsight I'm still wondering how half my mutuals ended up being very serious fundamentalists
<2022-08-19T02:39:10.000Z> tengumatingpress: chalk it up to demographics, I suppose 
<2022-08-19T02:48:31.000Z> SerfnUSA: It’s fundamental 
<2022-08-19T02:52:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: lol
<2022-08-19T02:52:31.000Z> SerfnUSA: Glad I can make you laugh
<2022-08-19T02:54:50.000Z> SerfnUSA: And I know I already apologized before but I wasn’t to say again that I’m really sorry for blowing up at you that time, and I hope you think like I do that it’s all behind us and that stuff like my saying you didn’t have any good posts the other day and todays isekai exchange have been done in a state of total amicability 
<2022-08-19T02:55:02.000Z> SerfnUSA: Want to say again*
<2022-08-19T02:57:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: Oh, I figured from my tastes people could think I enjoy shit that's miserable for the sake of it 
<2022-08-19T02:58:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't take shit like that personally 
<2022-08-19T18:08:14.000Z> tengumatingpress: giving a heads up that after work I'll be axing this account and moving to varish under a new nom de guerre, so don't assume the jews are actively cumming for you if a new account suddenly follows a strange amount of people 
<2022-08-19T18:13:02.000Z> SerfnUSA: It was nice knowing you
<2022-08-19T18:13:26.000Z> SerfnUSA: Sorry you decided to betray the clan 
<2022-08-19T18:31:21.000Z> tengumatingpress: >why did you kill our clan?>to test my abilities
