Rule 8 is probably the best thing about Heyuri, and I really wish more websites had something similar to it. I don't think they forum will get much traction anyway, but I definitely don't want to see the same iFunny caption memes if it does. Anyway, thanks for inspiration, Heyurians!

Some people treat is as an iron-clad thing; our instinctual drives and biological characteristics, laid early on in human history, direct our activities to this day,despite attempts to repress or re-direct them. Others consider that innacurate, pseudo-religious; basically they think that it only somewhat affects the probability of an outcome, with another major factor to consider being the environment that individuals live in.

What do you think?

This impressive hate-fueled rant was written originally in 1992 by Jim Goad for the Answer Me! magazine.

"You don't shock me. 1 shudder with boredom at everything you do, from tattooing your dick to chewing on your own poop. Not only have I seen all of your weak gestures before, I've seen them done better.

You remind me of someone I knew in college. His name was Mark. Pale, unshaven, and wearing his dishwater-colored hair in a Mohawk, Mark was an anarchist. He railed against the corporate elite and cheered for the collective. Projecting himself as his own mascot, he defaced hundreds of buildings with a goofy cartoon drawing of a Mohawk-wearing anarchist. The back of his leather jacket had an anarchy 'A' crudely daubed in white paint. Mark could be seen around town clustered with similarly disaffected youth, drinking out of paper bags, committing petty acts of vandalism, and plotting America's overthrow.

Unfortunately, Mark's parents were publishing magnates who had tucked away forty thousand dollars in stock for their baby anarchist. I once watched Mark transform into a sobbing bitch when he lost a bootleg cassette of his favorite hardcore band. Despite his lowlife appearance, he was a rich boy with the time and money to act poor. So were all of his friends. So are all of the people who consider themselves "alternative." Mark-you remind me of him.

Like Mark, your underground is strictly an upper-class phenom. You're a body-pierced, hair-dyeing, chain-smoking, whip-carrying FAKE, a little bitchy snitch who hasn't been hit enough. Your black eyeliner, rubber pants, and asymmetrical hairdo are a post-pubescent way of playing costume. You can't handle the guilt of your comfortable background, so you commit the heinous crime of slumming. No one worships trash in the slums, where they have to eat and breathe it daily. In poor neighborhoods, weirdness invites violence. Yet a blue-blooded nabob like you acts triflingly eccentric and considers it radical.

The "creative community" doesn't consist of the most creative people; you're the ones with the most spare time to create, those whose parents tolerate-and often finance-your flighty pursuits. What usually passes for art is just the idle noodling of the leisure class.

Your gizzard ululates with, "You sellout!" Well, the wealthy are the only ones who can afford NOT to sell out. Yes, there are a holy few who have refused cash when it's been dangled in front of them-they're called 'masochists.' If you're still reading this, you're a masochist, too. By the time I'm done with you, you'll reconsider your opposition to law enforcement.

In your typically egocentric way, you pretend you're the vanguard, freeing the oppressed from the shackles of ignorance. You conduct a sorry crusade to recast the world in your image. You're dumb enough to think you'll make a difference. You feel that if everyone was like you, society would be wonderful. Yet you walk away scratching your head when the truly oppressed don't want anything to do with you. You've never fought for anything but the right to be infantile.

If patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels, political rhetoric is a cubbyhole for dullards. The political is merely the personal in a cheap, quivering act of sublimation. You oppose power, which is like protesting the sun-scream all you want, but it'll still scorch you. As you cry about global warming, global corporations, and global revolution, I stare into the vacant globes of your eyes. The only anarchy going on is the mutinous misfiring of your brain cells. The 'A' stands for "asshole."

You whine about your "sexuality," how your body is a political combat zone. You're a simple rodent with boring bodily functions which you seek to ennoble. With your flagrant vanity and dishonesty in personal interactions, you reveal yourself to be equally as rotten as the leaders you despise. You invariably wind up imitating the oppressor. Unfortunately, you weren't oppressed to begin with.

For not only are you a liar, you're a hypocrite. You're fascinated by violence until you're confronted with it. You romanticize trauma but have never been traumatized. You demand grant money from a government you seek to destroy. You idolize primitive cultures but would slash your wrists if your CD player broke. You condemn religion but consider yourself enlightened. You're as self-righteous as the moralists upon which you spit. You hate hatred, won't tolerate intolerance, and conspire with others against conformity.

All your cohorts are hypocrites, too. Feminists don't degrade, objectify, and stereotype men? Socialists aren't elitists? Environmentalists don't drive cars? A pox upon all your houses. I'd wish for a rat to bite your ass and give you the Black Plague, but you'd probably consider it a fashion statement."

デブがこれをどう使うんだろう

腐女子って腐ってる女の子のことですね

Why was it mainly the girls that would laugh at me instead of boys? There were some boys that would laugh at my appearance but there was a disproportionate amount of girls instead. Please tell me why?

Something worth taking inventory of is your demoralization level.
First, a definition. What is a demoralized person?

A demoralized person is one who is unable to assess true information.
The facts do nothing for him.
Even if you shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures, he will refuse to believe it, until he receives a direct physical or visceral consequence contradicting his beliefs to jolt him into reality.

Now, with the above in mind, on a scale of 1 to 10, how demoralized are you?
Take your time. (´･ω･`)

And I mean really retarded. Such that I will try and start a discussion about the 1970s and mixed-up old people will start talking about how great it was to play Nintendo and listen to Duran Duran.

"DQOP" should be allowed as long as its not the sole purpose of your post
(picrel should be example of exactly what not to do)

Where does Kaguya upload the files for the anime watch-alongs?

Why do you write such long posts?
My brain can only handle two sentences.

(´～`)

So what will you suffer for?

One may endure long posts on heyuri, though why settle for that?
One could instead suffer through the lore of JP Internet culture, though what is your reward?
And one very well shall suffer through all mecha anime from '79 onwards, though did you think it worth the time?
Suffer to make a friend group stay together, play games together, conflicts submerged though still fettered:
You are drowning now.
You are drowning with your trench as the Mariana while friends hug the shore.
Seek the lighthouse to at least see the feeders on your body.

You have to suffer.
Either suffer ennui or the smug pointlessness of climbing mountains, though at least the latter has a view.
There is no other option.
You may (not) leave.

How you suffer not only determines your days, but also your community.
Those who gather here today are those who did not choose their torture, so now they're tortured with spliced conversation, trailing commas without an end, days to blend,
You have to suffer.

How will you?

Have any of you guys explored the fediverse? I've joined two instances but I think they are both pretty gay. I was wondering if you guys found any cool ones.

GPT-4 will be the death of everything.
Enjoy what little scraps we have left. Even imageboards will be gone. This effects absolutely everything, but lets just think about how it would effect us
<AI can perfectly replicate anything, even shitposting (gpt-4chan for example, which is far more outdated than what we have now)
<Imageboards become meaningless as humans begin to be drowned out by ai
<Eventually, imageboards are just a bunch of AI talking to eachother
<Even memes are ai made, fed to humans via apps, a human talking to another one is nearly impossible over the internet.
<It is impossible to verify you are talking to a human as deepfakes, voice replicators, and perfect AI can fool you by any metric. Even video calls or "hold up 3 fingers if real" etc

Everything. Everything on the internet will be meaningless, made by robots, and fed to humans without us ever being able to talk to eachother. Ideas will not spread, innovation will be stalled, and everything is a lie. Big tech companies will finally have complete mastery over the internet as whoever controls the AI controls the internet. Nothing is safe. No one is.

Welcome to the death rattles of the internet.

I’m not talking about the speed and ease of access, obviously the internet era beats pre-internet in that regard. What I’m thinking about is the quality of information, and the focus of the information. It seems to me like books and textbooks were better. Text books were carefully written, and carefully reviewed. The problem with modern learning seems to be that learners are left to trying to glue together a consistent picture from different snippets found on the net.

Another thing to account for is the influence of ‘algorithms’. A great amount of current learning material is posted on social media sites. people seek to inform, but also seek to pump the numbers on their YouTube channel/Twitter feed, what have you. I can’t help but feel this leads to a certain ‘topical bias’ with regards to information(this sort of thing is popular now, so I MUST shit out a video about it!!!)—as well as senselessly repeating the same thing in different ways because it was ‘popular’ the last time you did it. I see a lot of dull looking videos along the lines of ‘10 THINGs YOU have to DO, to IMPROVE your ____”, and sorts of ‘life-hack’ content that doesn’t help much with deep learning.

Search engines too don’t seem as useful as they could be. There is the problem of Search Engine Optimization, which, correct me if I’m wrong, is the methods used to ensure that your website reaches the top of the pile while using popular search engines. Who do you think benefits from this apart from large corporations? Certainly not small, careful researchers. Long before the Internet became the *de facto* starting point for academic research, electronic databases like Westlaw and LexisNexis were already light years ahead of where the Internet is now with indexing and searching using Boolean queries. As it now stands, keyword-based searches on the Internet are now the norm and more sophisticated methods of Boolean search have been dumbed down.

Another thing is focus. I think without the internet there was a lot more focus. Imagine you went to the library with the intent to research a topic. You would show up to the library, get all the books together,set up at a table, and get to reading. The worst distraction would probably be someone loud passing by, or a bit of natural boredom making you look up from the book and stare off into space. Imagine the distractions now—a notification from your phone, a sudden thought leading to you Googling something useless, natural boredom leading you to scroll thru youtube and getting lost in funny videos etc. Why do you think everyone is so scatter-brained nowadays? We're spoilt for choice. How many people do you think can have a computer or phone in the room and just sit autistically focused on doing just one thing?While the eras before ours had the disadvantage of not being able to communicate at the speed of light, they also had reduced distractions caused by the information overload.

What I think is that our brain is the bottleneck to communication, and not the communication system itself. Postal mail carried letters that were delivered anywhere within your country in 3-4 days. For most communication needs, this speed was just fine (think of today, and how many instantaneously sent e-mails are sitting unread in your inbox even weeks l8tr). We are actually more constrained by the speed at which our brain can handle these information bursts.

For more urgent communications telegraph or telephones were used. While telegraph is not as convenient nor as cheap as SMS, it did the job better. The message notifications you got were really something to be paid attention to. Not many were sharing random forward messages over these urgent communication channels.

Libraries, newspapers and bookstores managed the functionality of web. While Google has indeed brought libraries at the speed of light, it has also made us slackers in storing essential bits of info in our brain. Between our imagination and finely bound books, a whole range of innovations was built, including the Internet itself. Again my opinion is that the bottleneck when it comes to innovation is our brain and not the channel of communication.

At libraries there were other classmates who were sometimes researching the same stuff. Occasionally you had to share limited resources. That could lead to working together and even collaboration. There were encyclopedias. Of course, encyclopedias had rather limited information, which led to people filling their reports with opinions and critical examination instead of blindly rephrased quotes and lengthy reference sections. I think we may not have learned as much, but we learned it deeper, if you know what I mean.
