Welcome to The "8" Lounge
The title says it all. Welcome to the online lounge, The "8" Lounge.Solar Quest
WELCOME TO SOLAR QUEST!
Overview: It's Monopoly in space, and you get to shoot at each other.
I'll be posting the rule book for your viewing pleasure, so take a look. I'll be modifying the board as we go to help keep track of who is in what spot, who owns what, and where fuel stations are.
If you want to play, You can choose between Red, Yellow, White, Black, and Gray for your ship (I have already taken Blue). One color per person. Use a tripcode so we know who is who.
TAKING YOUR TURN
Each turn has 3 steps.
Step 1: Decide if you are going to shoot at players in range or purchase anything before you move
Step 2: Post a roll of 2d6 for your move
Step 2a: If your first roll post resulted in doubles, post again with a 1d36 roll to determine which Red Shift option to follow
Step 3: After you have moved or followed the Red Shift instructions, determine if you wish to shoot anyone in range or buy anything. Keep in mind that you cannot shoot if you have already purchased fuel that turn
If you decide to shoot at someone on your turn, roll enough d6's to cover your shooting in the post that details your action, and take the pairs as they appear.
For example, if you want to shoot 3 times, roll 6d6. if your results are: 1, 3, 3, 3, 6, 4 = 22, then your shot pairs are [1, 3] [3, 3] and [6, 4], so you hit once, and your target owes you $600 from the double 3's.
To keep track of who has what, Post your final money total, owned property list, and fuel level in the last post of your turn.
For example:
Money
$12,550
Fuel
12 Hydrons
Fuel Stations
5
Properties
Elara
Thebe
Miranda
Oberon
Uranus Space Dock
Mars
I will do my best to stay current and post updated board states as each turn ends. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I'll wait until 3/8/16 (Next Monday) for submissions to play, or until we get 6 people.

Hello, chaps. Just a quick update - /8lounge/'s sister site, the Omega Lounge, is currently running on endchan.xyz
Feel free to frequent it and contribute content. The /8lounge/ site will still be maintained in all its CSS glory, but in the future, I will be focusing on updating the background for the Omega Lounge and making it similar to this board, in case an 8chan migration occurs.
Good day,

/8lounge/ on love
Alright fellas, I've got a question for the board today, or anyone willing to answer if they feel so inclined.
Note, I'm a college student, and I'd like more experienced or studied individuals to point things out
What do you feel about the concept of love? Is it something worth investing time into, a lie, utter poppycock, an actual entity or just something scraped up to promote breeding?
The most note I can make on 8chan about this topic is that the majority of the posts point to them being alien parasites bent on taking your money. And while this is sometimes the case, I'm not entirely certain about the exact ratio of gold-diggers:meaningful-relationships.
I'm also not sure how much of the stuff said about women is true, and how much is purely satire. Especially since humour lies heavily seated in truth.
TL;DR, is love a crock, or of something to take stock?
picture potentially related.

/8lounge/'s hobbies
Forgive my poor manners.
I just came here, and i'm already making a thread, instead of lurking.
But well, there really isn't much to lurk, so i thought it would be nice to make a place where we can talk a little bit.
Now for the point of the thread.
>What are your more "clever" hobbies?
>Do you guys like to read, to write, or something else?
>Do you have something to share with us about your hobby?
/newspaper/
>>>/newspaper/ is awfully quiet recently. Getting a little worried..
Any ideas to breathe some new life into it? It's a really nice concept
Quality-post loudly, comrades.
This thread is dedicated to quality-posting, or the art of posting out-of-context excerpts from long and arduous academic articles.
>I shall begin.
In addition to trading relationships, the 1606 "First Virginia Charter" also
required the English settlers to develop personal ties with their indigenous
neighbors with the express purpose of bringing the "Christian religion to
suche people as yet live in darkenesse and miserable ignorance of the true
knoweledge and worshippe of God." 7 Given their expressed intentions and the
relatively small number of colonists who set sail, it is reasonable to assume that
both the Dutch and English colonists left Europe sincerely hoping they would
be able to quickly, and rather peacefully, develop interdependent trading and
on-going relationships with the Khoena8 of South Africa and the Algonquin
in the Pawmunkey Empire in Virginia.
As the early colonists waded ashore, their perspectives toward the native
inhabitants were shaped by their gender-based and class-based social systems,
pre-Enlightenment Christian ideology, and their mercantile economic systems.
Unlike our modern worldview, early modern ethnocentrism was not racially
oriented, and according to Kupperman, race would have been an "utterly foreign"
factor for English settlers since they did not divide "humankind into broad
fixed classifications demarcated by visible distinction." The early Jamestown
colonists would have initially perceived the physical differences they observed
between themselves and the indigenous people they met as being "accidental"
and "acquired characteristics" due to "environment and experience" and not
as being "inborn," determinist attributes.9
Underscoring the class-based focus of this early modern perspective,

Kupperman provides an excerpt from a letter written to the Jamestown treasurer,
Master George Sandys, by Michael Drayton in 1622.
Is Arya From Game of Thrones Autistic?
Is Arya Stark autistic?
I actually saw a few hints of it in the way she acts throughout seasons 1-4 (plus she doesn't make friends well either and she doesn't fit into pre-assigned gender roles), but in season 5, after she joins the house of Black and White and pretends to sell oysters, when the thin man asks for oysters, she completely ignores him after seeing Meryn Trant. Still, he literally shouts out to her and she just stands there looking off into the distance.
Dim the Lights, Make a Drink, It's Time to Get Spooky
Hello, friends.
This is a thread about the paranormal.
I never really considered myself an /x/- or /fringe/-type guy, but gosh darn if I haven't gone down the rabbit hole lately vis-a-vis Bigfoot, Aliens, and other assorted spookiness.
First off, I'm going to introduce you to a mainstream investigative reporter for the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas named George Knapp who also has an interest in the paranormal. Older Mr(s). Anons may remember him as the guy who broke the Bob Lazar Area 51 story.
And I want you to consider that all paranormal activity may be related.
The events at Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, where one could witness UFOs, Bigfoot, poltergeist activity, and cattle mutilations is a good example of this.
Some speculate that the ranch may be an opening into other dimensions. That there are other, unknown dimensions is now widely accepted in physics.
Also,
Tell us about any paranormal experiences you have had!
Mysterious Disappearances in National Parks and Wilderness Areas Around the World
Let's talk about this, my friends.
Who or what is taking these people?
A nice summary on this issue from a recent series of books:
>Missing-411 is the first comprehensive research about people who have disappeared in the wilds of North America (this is also a worldwide issue with cases in Australia, Europe and elsewhere). It’s understood that people routinely get lost and some want to disappear, but this story is about the unusual. Nobody has ever studied the archives for similarities, traits and geographical clusters of missing people, until now.
>A tip from a national park ranger led to this 4+ years and a 9000 hour investigative effort into understanding the stories behind people who have vanished. The book chronicles children, adults and the elderly who disappeared, sometimes in the presence of friends and relatives. As Search and Rescue personnel exhaust leads and places to search, relatives start to believe kidnappings and abductions have occurred. The belief by the relatives is not an isolated occurrence; it replicates itself time after time, case after case across North America.
>The research depicts 28 clusters of missing people across the continent, something that has never been exposed and was a shocking find to researchers. Topography does play a part into the age of the victims and certain clusters have specific age and sex consistency that is baffling. This is not a phenomenon that has been occurring in just the last few decades, clusters of missing people have been identified as far back as the 1800’s.
>Some of the issues that are discussed in each edition:
• The National Park Service attitude toward missing people
• How specific factors in certain cases replicate themselves in different clusters
• Exposing cases involving missing children that aren’t on any national database
• Unusual behavior by bloodhounds/canines involved in the search process
• How storms, berries, swamps, briar patches, boulder fields and victim disabilities play a role in the disappearance
• The strategies of Search and Rescue personnel need to change under specific circumstances
>After reading this book, you will forever walk in the woods with a different awareness.
Reading
Hey /8lounge/, what are you currently reading? Anything you have on your list? Anything you just finished?
I just finished re-reading 1984, and on the recommendation of a friend, Brave New World. I gotta say I like 1984 more, but BNW was okay, especially for how morally neutral it felt, none of the cut-and-dry stuff from the former.
So, any readers?

Environmentalists Getting Murdered in Brazil
The killers came from the forest, the very same forest Raimundo Santos Rodrigues so loved.
The environmentalist had spent years defending one of the last pristine swathes of the eastern Amazon rain forest from loggers, miners and farmers. But his activism had earned him enemies in Brazil’s northern state of Maranhão.
And on Tuesday afternoon, those enemies pounced.
Santos Rodrigues and his wife were riding their motorbike from the market back to the Biological Reserve of Gurupi when two men suddenly emerged from the treeline, witnesses told local media. As the couple crossed a bridge, the gunmen opened fire, hitting both the environmentalist and his wife.
To ensure their objective, the assassins ran up to Santos Rodrigues and stabbed the injured man to death. His wife, Maria da Conceição Chaves Lima, was rushed to the hospital and is expected to live.
Santos Rodrigues had been a “marked” man because of his environmentalism, said a man who spoke to G1 Mr(s). Anonymously for fear of also being targeted.
“Loggers hated him because he denounced them,” said a co-worker, also Mr(s). Anonymously. “He was very active in the region, defending the community, attending the Union of Rural Workers of Bom Jardim.”
Officials have promised a thorough investigation and are treating the murder as an attack on a public official. Santos Rodrigues was a volunteer with the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation, part of the Ministry of the Environment.
“It will be treated with top priority,” said Alexandre Saraiva, a federal police superintendent.
But that promise appears hollow against the bloody reality in Brazil, widely considered the most dangerous country on earth for environmentalists.
Between 2002 and 2013, at least 448 environmentalists were killed in Brazil, according to Global Witness. That equates to roughly half of all the environmentalists murdered worldwide during that period.
According to local watchdog CPT, the grim tally is even worse: More than 1,500 Brazilians have been killed over the past 25 years fighting deforestation, and another 2,000 have received death threats, Men’s Journal reported in 2012.
Last year, 29 Brazilian environmentalists were murdered, again more than any other country, according to Global Witness.
The reasons behind Brazil bewildering conservationist killing spree are simple. The country’s land ownership is “among the most concentrated and unequal in the world,” leading to conflicts between subsistence farmers or indigenous groups and “well-connected landowners over who has the legal right to forests and land,” according to Global Witness.
“Magnates buy off local politicians and policemen, and kill anyone who challenges their agricultural practices,” according to Men’s Journal.
As in the slaying of Santos Rodrigues, environmentalists are in most danger inside or at the edges of the Amazon. The giant rain forest — which some activists fear will be half gone by 2030 — is the site of 68 percent of all such murders, according to Global Witness. First the trees are cut down by loggers, which then opens the land up to cattle ranchers, soy farmers or miners.
“Many people from the logging and mining companies think the only way to solve problems is by killing the people who defend the forest,” federal prosecutor Felício Pontes told Men’s Journal.
Like the Amazon itself, the problem of violence against environmentalists is shared by many Latin American countries. Last year, at least 25 environmentalists were killed in Colombia, according to Global Witness. Honduras (12), Peru (9), Guatemala (5), Paraguay (3) and Mexico (3) also reported multiple murders of conservationists in 2014.
Although more than 80% of the killings were in Latin and Central America, Asian environmentalists are also at great risk. Fifteen Filipinos were killed in 2014, followed by Thailand (4), Indonesia (2) and Myanmar (2), again according to Global Witness.
Almost none of these murders are ever solved, the group says. A 2014 Global Witness report found that 908 activists were killed in 35 countries between 2002 and 2013, yet there were only 10 convictions.
“What feeds the violence is the impunity,” Isolete Wichinieski, national coordinator of the Brazilian group Commisão Pastoral da Terra, told the Guardian.

DARPA GENETIC ENGINEERING
DARPA’s CAPP’s current goal is to discover biotechnological methods that allow soldiers to function without food or sleep for up to 7 days
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), often known as the “mad scientist wing” (Gayle, 2012) of the DoD, has allocated an annual budget of $2 billion to several different projects all working towards building a supersoldier( Posel, 2013, para. 1). The main hope for accomplishing such a feat lies in genetic engineering,
DARPA’s Continuous Assisted Performance Program’s current goal is to discover biotechnological methods that allow soldiers to function without food or sleep for up to seven days (Seal, 2003).
Scientists have looked to the animal kingdom for these answers, with a particular interest in bottlenose dolphins and the sled dogs of the Iditarod. Sam Ridgway, Ph.D. in neurobiology from the University of Cambridge and President of the National Marine Animal Foundation, is conducting research to discover how dolphins remain vigilant for extended durations of time. Scientists have found that these mammals have to ability to practice unihemispheric sleep (Castro, 2003). The phenomena is that while one hemisphere of the brain is asleep, the other half remains alert. When tired, the dolphin simply wakes up the now refreshed portion of its brain while the weary section goes to sleep. Studies starring two bottlenose dolphins have repeatedly demonstrated the animals’ ability to last five days in this state with no decrease in activity or attentiveness. By determining which genes make this inherent trait possible, DARPA hopes to trigger the same ability in its soldiers
DARPA is also attempting to alter the genes that control the body’s metabolism (Posel, 2013, para. 5).
By modifying the rate at which fat is converted into pure energy, soldiers could, in theory, go without food for days. The most promising avenue of inquiry is a project investigating the Huskies and Malamutes of the Iditarod and how they are capable of running thousands of miles without developing extreme debility. The head of the project, Dr. Michael S. Davis, professor of Veterinary Physiology at Oklahoma State University, has discovered that these dogs reserve their fat and glycogen stores by spontaneously changing their metabolic rates. This capability allows the animals to run 100 miles a day with a slowed metabolism similar to the one assumed when sleeping; in less than 24 hours, they are able to switch back to their usual metabolic rate, one that is similar to a man’s (Robson, 2008). If this genetic trait could be adapted to humans, soldiers would have insurmountable endurance and stamina on the battlefield.

Politics without Extremism.
Nationalism and Its Effects on Peace in Europe
With global crisis, unemployment, dissatisfaction, poverty and intolerance has increased and with it also nationalism. Political parties with nationalist platforms are rising and gaining more support around the world and Europe is no exception.
In Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom and across Europe we can see the rise of the right. The financial crisis in the Eurozone and beyond has triggered rising of nationalists and far-right political parties.
The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) on 9th of July released a report about the dramatic increase in anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, online hate speech and xenophobic political discourse as the main trends in 2014.
Nationalism can be positive with legitimacy, promotion of nations and inspiration for citizens or negative by creating tensions between different ethnicity and groups in or outside the country. Some negative aspects of ideology or political movement can be seen in the latest football matches in the Balkans, where supporters of team groups have burned many national flags and hooliganism that is the result of long lasting hatred and nationalism on the ground. Every country has its own history and different positions, but still similarities could be found.
The country all news is regarding to in recent times is Greece. A known slogan `Greece for Greeks` is well known in its anti-austerity party. Attacks against minorities and immigrants with racism are seen in one of the European Union (EU) members. Golden Dawn neo-Nazi party is linked to hundreds of violent attacks against minorities.
It is known for anti-immigration, racist-nationalist worldview. With elections being held this year in January the party captured 6.3% of the vote and 17 senate seats in Hellenic parliament and become the country’s third largest party. In 2014 the party won 9.4% of votes in European parliamentary election and with it 3 seats out of 21.
The party has been put on a trial this year for its criminal activity.
Nationalism in Greece has divided citizens and noncitizens to us and them and created the gap between both. With the economic crisis, Greeks debt, overall economic meltdown, unemployment and increasing number of refugees from different countries, the party led by Nikos Michaloliakos has gained more support and caused even greater intolerance to foreign people in need. Unfortunately, they are not the only one spreading intolerance. Many politicians have a stance against immigrants, which shapes the Greeks’ attitude towards nationalism.
Philosophy
This seems as good a place as any to discuss philosophy.Being a nomad.
I really just want to up and leave. Drive across the country and live in my vehicle. Go to all kinds of different places and meet all kinds of different people. I am so tired of my non-adventurous life. I live in a small city. I'm the youngest child, and both of my brothers have moved out and started families, while I'm 19 years old and living with my parents working a fast food job.
Something about my stable life is boring. Like I said earlier, there is no adventure. I do the same routine every day and I feel like it's been carved out for me. I love my family. I love my nieces and nephews and my parents and brothers, and I like to spend time with them. I can't just leave.
I would essentially live out of an SUV. Enough room to sleep in and store things that I need. I'd save up enough money that would last me a while, and if I ran out then I would work odd jobs.
Why do I lack the balls to do something like this?

Interpersonal Skills-Oratory Skills
Hello lads, hopefully in this thread the discussion will be on notable experiences with public speaking, how best to work with others in social situations, and what to do when trying to work on improving those skills; Also considering interpersonal communication in general and making impressions, experiences relevant.
I guess, to some degree, it could also be a greentext thread. With that in mind, I'll look into my own experiences.
>Be me
>In high school
>Be in some volunteer group because the school demands it for a diploma
>Head of the group notices I have an alright oratory ability
>proceeds to abuse it
>puts me up to speak on behalf of holocaust victims
>easily the most stressful work out of the entire year
>reading their letters and notes aloud with one of them behind me
>Auditorium/public speaking area pitch-black save for some ceiling lighting and my podium lamp
>Stressed to hell and back
>ringing occurs in my ears, can't hear anything
>anything except the sound of my voice and heartbeat
>go through ten minutes of letters with little to no pauses or breaks in speech
>because I cannot see nor hear my audience
The "Head" gave me a lot of praise for that. I guess forgetting other people exist and getting locked in your own world helps for public speaking.
Do we need a subject?
Basically I want to discuss bettering your life.Self Improvement
Hello Mr(s). Mr(s). Anons.
Over the past few years I've slowly been attempting to improve myself, but soohoy in the sense of academics. To give some backround, in elementary I was considered the top of my class and destined for a ivy, first year of middle schools straight 70's and some 60's, never failed a class though (I theorize I did it subconsciously because a lot was expected of me, but that's a whole other topic) I have slowly tried to break down the barriers that were holding me back, and now I'm currently a junior in HS and I'm in 3 AP level classes, but of course my GPA is garbage so no shot at an ivy. It's not like I'm going to a community, but I'm dissapointed in myself for not at least being close to ivy standards. Anyway, I feel as if my Academics are where I want them, so I want to improve myself in other areas, for example my diet. 2 liters of coke a day has no doubt done a number on me (even though I only weigh 115lbs at 5'6-5'7 ish) and I've been looking into Tea's for replacing my bad habit (and maybe some coffees in the morning) like pic related. My fitness is also an area of concern, I look like a Holmodor victim even though I eat a ton of food (steaks are the best thing since sliced bread). I would like this thread to become a place where Mr(s). Mr(s). Anons can recommend courses of action for others to improve each other, a general think tank if you will. If any of you have suggestions for me, in the areas of where I can find teas and fitness plans that would be great. I hope all of you find help in the areas you wish to thrive.

What do the ladies and gentlemen of 8lounge think of civilians possessing firearms? Are you for or against it, and why?theory of giving presents
i was talking to a friend recently and i came up with a theory about how to give good presents. do you agree with it?
19:47 - [redacted]: Should I gift my friend kf2 or hm2 for his bday
19:51 - Maho: hm2
19:51 - Maho: dont buy early access shit
19:51 - [redacted]: But there'll be more content in kf2
19:51 - Maho: buy the finished game
19:51 - [redacted]: Hm2 is like 6 hours tops and probably going on sale soon
19:52 - Maho: hm2 makes a better present
19:52 - Maho: than kf2
19:52 - Maho: it being short doesnt matter
19:52 - Maho: because its not his money
19:52 - [redacted]: Probly
19:52 - [redacted]: But he didn't play hm1
19:52 - Maho: then get both
19:52 - Maho: they're both cheap shit
19:52 - Maho: heres the thing [redacted]
19:52 - Maho: the theory of presents:
19:52 - [redacted]: It matters to me because it's my money lol
19:52 - Maho: cost/enjoyment doesnt fucking matter
19:52 - Maho: when it comes to presents
19:52 - Maho: the reason why
19:52 - Maho: is because everyone operates on a cost/benefit ratio
19:52 - [redacted]: I want to get value out of my buck
19:52 - Maho: so
19:53 - Maho: no non onono
19:53 - Maho: listen
19:53 - Maho: presents are
19:53 - Maho: the only time in ones life
19:53 - Maho: where they receive something that doesnt have a cost/performance
19:53 - Maho: that means that they can recieve something that they normally would never buy
19:53 - Maho: this is why its important to disregard "economics"
19:53 - Maho: now i dont mean "get expensive bullshit"
19:53 - Maho: i just mean that when youre gift giving its important to go for the quality choice rather than the economical choice
19:54 - Maho: like lets say youre buying toasters right
19:54 - Maho: and u can choose between the decent toaster
19:54 - Maho: or the chrome plated toaster
19:54 - Maho: normally you would pick the decent toaster if you're buying for yourself
19:54 - Maho: because chorme doesnt make bread taste better
19:54 - Maho: but when you're buying a gift you want to get the chrome one SPECIFICALLY because its something that the other person would NEVER buy for themselves
19:55 - Maho: or else then youre just doing his kitchen appliance shopping for him
19:55 - Maho: and fuck that
19:55 - Maho: an extension of the theory
19:55 - Maho: its better to get a high end low cost object
19:55 - Maho: than a mid tier mid cost object
19:55 - Maho: like if u have to choose between the best chocolates in the world or cheaper brand truffles at the same cost
19:55 - Maho: always go for the chocolate
19:56 - Maho: u wanna be the "cheap truffles" guy or the "expensive chocolate" guy
19:56 - Maho: same price in the end

Anonymous Continent
Hello, gentlemen of /8lounge/.
In light of the recent Mr(s). Anonymous expedition to make it to (10000,10000) on yourworldoftext, I've also created a world - this time for adventurers who tire of the day-long climb.
tl;dr version
Visit http://www.yourworldoftext.com/~Lounglie/8lounge
Create your civilization / draw whatever you like.
There aren't any rules - just try not to vandalize each other's work or ruin structures people seem to be putting a lot of effort into.
>pics related - they're what we have so far
All the best,
~Lounglie (2000,2000)
A Discussion In Eugenics
/pol/ has a lot of discussions on why race X is worse than race Y. But let's have a classy debate in eugenics.Is Race Real? Are humans different species?
The heaviest bluepill in politics or perhaps in general is that race isn't real and that humans can't go through speciation. The roots of this ideology are back in the enlightenment era when men believed that having some brown persons dressed up and taught to speak proper english proved their ideas of everyone being created equal.The Cafe at the End of the Internet

Hello, /8lounge/, I think it would be a great idea to make a thread about low traffic boards that deserve a little more refined posters, so let's shill them here since we don't want cancer from b on thoseOn the Origin of Content
How does one create original content in 2015? I grew up on 4chan. I discovered it when I was 11, and I'm 19 now, so I've spent almost half of my life as an imageboard denizen, and the culture seems to have changed since I was a kid. I probably just sound like a bitter oldfag, but it seems that OC has become stagnant. poppycockty photoshops used to be the essence of /b/, but what do people photoshop? Where is the source content found?8chan RSS
8chan now has a RSS feed. You can now subscribe to boards using RSS.Chinese Transition
As many of you may know, a deal is currently being brokered by hotwheels and an anonymous Chinese buyer. As a result, the languages of several boards have been changed preemptively by global mods. While it's unlikely this deal will go through (word is that the offer is far too low for hotwheels to accept), in the intermediary time, we'll have to put up with these language difficulties. Please have patience, as I'm sure hotwheels will work something reasonable out.Learn A Bloody Language
I'm learning Cantonese. Why? Because I can. Post a language in this thread you would like to learn. Then, get out there and learn it. Self-improvement is the best improvement, lads and lassies, and since this is a board for refined content and people, let's make an effort to become such.Serious /int/
Have you been to the new /international/?
Triphop/Calming Music
Oh my god… I didn't believe it at first but /b/ is a goner… I would ask you to hold me r9k style but I know that is poppycockposting, so I won't. Instead let's have thread dedicated to the best and most relaxing music. Apparently, video related is proven scientifically to be the relaxing song ever made.Intensifying madness
Is it cool if girls post here? Or is this a secret, cootie-free clubhouse for boys only (like /b/)? Are picture or question request threads okay? Like,Mr(s). Anons ask, OP delivers? If a cumdumpster identifies herself as a she, will she be shat on with terrible unending fury (like /b/)? If anMr(s). Anon says he/she works in this or that industry, can they talk about their life without being sperged on for being human? I dunno if I wanna return to /b/.YLYL
LOL, /b/ is dead, is this where I go to escape the cancer? Let us start this off with a good old You Laugh You Lose thread. Just kidding, But I scared you, huh? I want to talk about OC. This board seems to be very centralized on the creation of OC, but my problem with that is that you can't just make OC. The best OC is created out of the so called 4chan tier threads. The rules state that any thread that is not "beneficial" to anybody will be deleted, but all that leaves left are serious threads. I am not suggesting a YLYL thread, but I don't like the idea of somebody choosing on what threads live and get deleted, we may as well go to Tumblr. What do you guys think?Peanut butter and pizza cheese.
I believe there is a phallus engaged with my nether regions, but I am not entirely certain, because I happen to have, by consequence of a rare genetic defect, 1000 lb man-breasts and I cannot bend over to watch. Else I will fall to the Earth, like Lucifer from the folds of Heaven in Milton's Paradise Lost. I believe as well that there is pizza under my chin, though I know not why.Relaxation Music
I’m really into mellow music and Awake by Tycho has to be my favorite album of that genre. Does anyone know of any other relaxing albums?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEI1_oGPQr0==Calligraphy==
What does the lounge think about Calligraphy? I'm about to embark myself on a year(s) long journey to master this beautiful art and distance myself from pleb-hand-writing. Thoughts, advice, anecdotes and witty remarks about it ITT, if you would, kind ladies and gentlemen.Chess

Alright, I think I'm converted. I originally didn't like all the shilling you guys were doing, but this place is actually pretty nice. The jukebox is a nice touch and the threads here do sort of remind me of how 8chan used to be before all the cancer got here.Advertising Organization Thread
Hello, gents. This thread is about discussions involving The "8" Lounge's first major advertising campaign.Card Games
what are the Lounger's thoughts on Card Games? there are the obvious ones like Blackjack and Poker but what do you think of card games like YuGiOh or Magic: The Gathering? of course I think they're both pretty gr8 but the YGO community is getting worse than League of Legends at this point, not saying that League is bad, then again i'm not saying it's good either so yeah.8Chan's /V/Scape

Hello, Gentlemen. In preparation for /sp/'s 6,000,000 GET steal for Halfchan, a few persons on /b/ have decided to dedicate time to create a full-fledged anthem for 8chan, with help from any sir or madame willing to sing along with the chorus.Policing 101

So /b/, I finally got up the courage to ask out this girl I'm really into. She said yes. Then I ask what day is good for her and she says when shes free, and I said "I'm free Saturday as well, its a date". Then tried to keep my poppycock together until I got home. Then I just realized Saturday is Valentines Day. WTF do I do /b/, I like her, but holy poppycock is it going to be expensive and super hard to pull off.Drinks, anyone?

>be meNegroes
I have been considering the state of the Negroes and after years of anthropological studies, I have reached the conclusion that their societies were capable of constructing the basest of tools. This, however, points towards a motivation for thoughts about the ingenuity of a negro. Even if there is very little credit to be given to them for their intellectual capacities, I'd imagine that these capacities must be something worth trying to cultivate.
