Welcome to /eh/

Where everything is just... eh...

/eh/ is not for crying, /rnb/ is for crying.

Dear fellow Johns, maybe it’s just me, but have you noticed that people seem to have contempt/fear/hatred for basic leisure/comfort?

Everything always has to be about “overcoming challenges” or “changing the world” or “stepping outside your comfort zone”.

They especially target young men minding their own business enjoying solitary leisure in video games or art.
Society is always trying to force them to be some sort of glorified “civil servant” to prove their manhood.

No one is really allowed to simply just not care about the farce of spectacle.

Being /eh/ is treated as a sign of weakness or regression especially for young men.

I think it’s just subconscious misery wanting company or that people are too shallow/weak minded to enjoy their own solace.

Be honest: how often does anyone on this board socialize? Am I don’t mean mere meet-and-greet either, but as in hanging out and platonic intimacy?

I do that fairly often with very few maybe one maybe one and a half individuals. And family, but with the family stuff it's not usually based on a lot of pleasure but more so some kind of obligations or programming I'm not sure. Maybe because we live near each other.

But with the 1.5 friends, we socialize face to face, but almost always not just to hang out, but to do some kind of activity or talk about some kind of thing that we needed to talk about. An activities I mean like sports or sauna or whatever. I mean it is an excuse to socialize, but always always with an excuse is what I'm saying.

I also stopped using almost all social media. Which is barely use it anymore

I honestly think that less young people are frequently active on social media nowadays than we’d think.
There was a bigger buzz about social media back in 2007 thru 2015

I could be wrong though.

>I do that fairly often with very few maybe one maybe one and a half individuals. And family, but with the family stuff it's not usually based on a lot of pleasure but more so some kind of obligations or programming I'm not sure. Maybe because we live near each other.

Tbh this is how a lot of people are with family vs friends. Family are semi-strangers whom you share a bloodline with and are dragged around by their whims in childhood.
Friends are people whom you choose to associate with by free will (within limited sociophysical range of possibility)

Most people only have a handful of friends they really like which is fine. I’m just disappointed in the paternalistic programming that adults force on kids about socialization.
Kids aren’t allowed to enjoy limited human contact with peers without being labeled antisocial or something.

Hello John,

I hope since the last time we've wrote that you stopped making the same mistakes. Have I, you may wonder? No, and not since the last time, neither, I say. Given that things could be better, I keep hearing your name in certain circles. What they say about you I don't believe, not all of it, anyways. There's always tomorrow, as the man says, isn't it? Isn't it?

People say cringing at your younger self is a sign of maturity. I think the opposite.
It’s easy to look down on youth especially if it’s yourself when it comes to flaws

Everyone likes to think themselves as being more mature than they are when they’ve passed their twenties

I especially like it when people always use the “I was young” excuse for more troubling past mistakes. Really shows how little they’ve really changed

Hi John,

Are you the same John from the old days? I like to check in on you occasionally. It used to be once every six months, but I realise this is probably the first time in six years. I remember when we spent every night talking.

Anyway John, I hope you're well. I have fond memories of that book about not doing drugs, and of course Pepsi.

Forever yours,
-John.

The globalists have absolutely covered all the bases.

Americans say the answer to tyranny is term limits, but term limits are useless when the elections are rigged.

Americans think the USA would be a free country if there were no electronic voting machines, but Canada doesn't have electronic voting machines and Canada is still a police state.

Americans say mandatory voting means freedom, but Australia has mandatory voting and is also a police state.

A Constitutional Convention won't work because if the elites don't follow the Bill of Rights now then why would the ruling powers obey a new Constitution?

The only realistic options Americans have today is to drop out, move to a small town, and buy guns, ammo, gold, and food and wait for everything to collapse.

Hi John,

OP John here - I'm back again. My wife and three year old daughter are both asleep and I thought I'd have a fun look online before going to bed myself.

I was mildly surprised to see that this thread is still here. I always get a small smile when I see that 7chan still exists. I remember making it, though would have guessed it was closer to one year ago than three.

I don't think anything major has changed in my life since creating this thread. I am just getting older. I try to eat well and exercise. My life is objectively better in every way than it used to be, but I still feel bittersweet about staying up all night refreshing image boards.

Do you miss the old web, John? The Internet feels so small these days and with all the creativity sucked out of it.

Take care of yourself, John.

Yours, always and ever,
John.

Dear John,

How are you? It has been some time since I last ventured onto this board to post I think. I say I think, I can never be certain when it was that I last visited. I looked for my old post but didn't find it. I believe I last posted some time in either 2025 or 2024. It feels so strange to type that. The 18 years that I have been visiting this place for seem surreal to me, as if such a thing should never be capable of spanning such a time period. I feel like an old raver leaving a rave to discover its the late 2000s. At least I assume this is what they felt like.

Anyway; I notice many of our friends on this board seem to have strange posting manners. That is what tipped me off to how long it had been, as I do not recognise any of these posts or the kind of phrasing they would use. I hope I am not being too harsh here, but I wish the new Johns would show a little courtesy to us older folk.

What originally brought me here however I suspect is to echo some of the feelings I have seen the other Johns post. Lately I find myself imagining that the whole world is grey. Perhaps this is some malady that I am experiencing, but I am inclined to think it is something shared. I don't want to complain to you at length about how I am feeling or its cause, but I would like to express minor frustration and sadness. Due to the medications that I am on, I will be dealing with my emotions with a glass of tap water instead of the usual gin.

Sincerely,
John.

Hi John. I've been visiting this silly little board since 2009 myself, so just around 17 years. I imagine we are roughly the same age.

I know what you mean about the greyness, John. I was experiencing that too. I suspect it comes from the monotony of life. The thing I've learned though is life does not have to be monotonous. The happiest people I know are constantly doing new things and filling their schedule with activities.

For a long time I felt like I was watching life pass me by, like I was standing behind a glass wall, separated from real life. I've only recently started stepping beyond that wall and actually interacting with life.

Life is really what you make of it, I'm learning.

Libertarians must be obsessed about liberty now.

Talk to people everywhere. Pass out flyers. Print out business cards. Make a website. Start a newspaper. Rent a billboard. Make songs and movies about freedom.

You might be the last one defending freedom, but you must live with your conscience.

My annual trip home is coming up soon. I am not taking the bus-bus-train-bus this time, however. I will actually be accompanied by someone who can drive and has a nice vehicle. I am looking forward to it.

John,

I was slightly annoyed when I heard that element 113 on the periodic table of elements was almost called Japonium and they instead called it Nihonium. While I understand the reasoning, we almost had a "J" on the periodic table until some people decided otherwise, and that's what annoyed me. Maybe one day we will get a J or a Q; We were very close to a J.
I circled the element in question and was careful not to block out any other data for other elements in case anybody wanted to look at a version of the periodic table of elements with Nh circled. Thanks for your attention.

Best wishes,

-John
