Hello,

I love to use Unix X-windows tools from the 90s to plot graphs of pseudo-random numbers in the form of colours, etc.

Thank you for reading.

As unintertesting as your post is, well done by the way.
It /fail(s) to incorporate cheese.

I hope you understand that its just not that particularly interesting for me.

John

I do not think all posts need to involve cheese, but if a thread seems to be getting too interesting, cheese should be invoked.

Whatever, though. I do not make the rules.

Oh, I'm sorry to all. I just meant for me the code would have to result in something to do with cheese or even cheesecake. To get me on board.
Best of luck to all.

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 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.

I am glad to hear your life is good John and that you made something of it with a partner and kids. Maybe I'll join you there someday.

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

Addendum: I am a fool, the actinides are completely absent from this picture. This is an extremely embarrassing moment for me, and I apologize, however the main point of my first post still stands about the near-J addition.

Dear John,

Nothing really seems to continue being interesting of late. It appears life has lost its thrill, and that everything in it of magnitude is much smaller than at first glance. So, is this the way that life is supposed to be? Perhaps you feel the same way.

Anytime,

John

This
Too many obnoxiously groveling platitudes talking about how great God is and the excessive personalization of God.
Most praise and worship people I think they lack hobbies and resolve in life. That’s why they turn to religion.

Idk people have been saying this for centuries now.
Methinks people like to personalize human events as being divinely influenced to cope with helplessness.

>There are very few things in life which are as interesting as the idea of them. I guess you could say most of life is psychosomatic

This is why I say idealism is more dangerous than materialism.
Materialism is motivated by the IDEA of luxury items, not the luxury items themselves.
It’s why romance is more tricky than lust
Lust is more consistent and flexible in its appreciation. Romance on the other hand is always trying to find “The One”, never appreciating the current partner as they are, always comparing them to previous ones.

This. Traveling is often morally imposed onto people as way to “expand their mind”, and yet the images we see on TV of colorful robes and cute trad women is actually just modern-clothes folk rushing to and fro about work and school muttering curses under their breath at you because you’re just another tourist.

I especially hate how schools often preach about diversity and force kids whom are neurodivergent or ethnically foreign into participating in group activities when theyre not comfortable.

Adults often talk about how kids need new experiences but most of these new experiences are just cliche kinesthetic activities
Real novel experiences are barred

>but happiness seems to require some sort of meaning/purpose on top of thay, combined with positive social relationships

NO it does not

Some people get to have that kind of life, cool
Some people put themselves (and others) through hell to get something like that, then bitch about people who don't "try" Not cool

These days I know I'm not that clever, yet now I'm a lot older the people who I thought were clever are not really
A lot of people I meet IRL interlect snobs, always show themselves up

I just nod, let live their best smug life
I see little point in pointing out anything to them
It's a waste of my time, because they are cleverer than and they know it
All most all of these smug people, won't help someone like me if they could
So Simple pleasures that make you happy with out have to rape your own soul to fit in

I have to say I'm looking forward to eating cherries again.

All the best
