everyone died

doing anything this year anon? or js mastrubating by your lone self?

I have been thinking about the soul for a long time, and I would like to share what I think.

By now, it might not be a secret to anyone that nowadays society feels empty, flavorless, and soulless. Look at social media, don't you think people act more out of inertia than will, consuming whatever without stopping, hoping to find joy without asking themselves what they truly like? Following dreams imposed by society and not questioning what their true dreams and aspirations are? Holding on to anything that promises to improve their lives without questioning what they truly need to do?

On the topic of souls, I can't help but think of the NPC Wojak meme. It is said that NPCs lack imagination. I came across a video showing a Reddit post where people mentioned they couldn't imagine or dream, their minds were blank. This surprises me a lot because I am the complete opposite.

Since childhood, I always had imagination to the point that it's hard for me to control. I would delve into a world inside my head, create stories of all kinds, build worlds with their own lore, have imaginary friends, talk to them, and even had imaginary girlfriends. I even kept a diary where I noted down things I imagined because I wanted to channel the excess imagination. I dreamed of being some kind of artist, like making animations or using digital media to create video games and be a programmer. Sometimes I wonder how NPCs can't imagine anything, as I can't do it for more than a few minutes because keeping the mind blank is so uncomfortable that it becomes unbearable for me. Are they born meditating or what? I would stop because my mind would impose fears and insecurities on me. I was scolded for being distracted in the real world, told to 'come back to earth.' Distraction problems led me to feel bad for having the paracosms I created. I learned to live between both worlds, the real and the imaginary (in fact, I was diagnosed with level 1 autism, and excess imagination is a symptom of it). Despite the problems, trying to channel my imagination through art and computer science was the best thing I could do in my life. I come from a tough time when I felt so bad that I wanted to harm myself and even considered suicide. After the help of a loving family and friends, along with a storytelling workshop on my campus, I managed to be happy again. Not only for overcoming my problems and moving forward as if it were personal development but also for leaving behind the oPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Support Cyberpunk Bridge Sanctuaries

I read this piece recently https://lainzine.org/all-releases/lainzine05/txt/go-outside.txt from lainzine.
It's crazy how I feel like I just arrived here (into this world) yesterday yet so old. The trees that used to tiny while I was a kid are enormous in size; to which i had to sit down against to observe its tiny branches now have to sit down to observe its not so tiny branches, how fascinating? how…terrifying?

It's good to know that I still persist the same kid inside me, the same energitic, daring, adaptive to environment me with me or is me ;). Dancing around like a autist in his room and performing occult like in https://youtu.be/VjGSMUep6_4?si=yzAggkzazn7pmLxV while upgrading his little machines, moonwalking from one side of the room onto the other like a 14 year old; stopping by and sitting unfazed, focusing like a unemployed poet while studying his crafts, working on things, which he hopes would be of use one day and feel old when some kid on the internet says 20 years is ancient(i'm 21) :/

so the attached piece describes the author's journey through life(sort of) how the new giant seemingly influenced the lifestyle of newlifed and how author says its getting tougher to find the "thinking people" inside the SSD. Are you the "thinking people"? Am I "thinking people"? What and who is the "thinking people"?

I sometimes feel old and lonely, but it'd be alright, focusing on my craft which i hope would provide me warmth, in the end I want to ask you: How are you…Friend?

Do the asthetics of your technology matter to you? Do you prefer a spartan look that minimizes distractions, or do you find that a little flair brightens up your usage of technology?

I'm remaking this general after I've come back to the site getting wiped. Talk about old, unwanted computers and other tech you've rescued from dumpsters, attics, sales, the side of the road, etc. and found a use for. Remember, it's only obselete if it can no longer do what you want.

where everything go like all the past post did the site get attacked or what?
