Welcome to The "8" Lounge

The title says it all. Welcome to the online lounge, The "8" Lounge.

GENERAL F.A.Q.

>What is The "8" Lounge?

The "8" Lounge is a board meant for Mr(s). Anonymous members (that's you) to browse and post refined, original, and/or interesting content on. Feel at home while you discuss topics relevant to you: topics from /pol/, /sci/, /mu/, /ck/, /art/, /g/, /fringe/, and yes, even /b/ are welcome.

>Are there board rules?

The global rule exists, but aside from that, members will unlikely face bans. Often, at worst, your thread will be deleted if something is shown to be in poor taste*. You won't be banned for bad-mouthing the mods or board owner, but this doesn't mean it's a thing well-looked upon.

If you act courteously towards others, they will do the same to you.

>*What quantifies as poor taste?

Let's start with what doesn't:
-hate speech
-raids
-topic discussions (i.e. music, traditional games, role-playing, comfy threads, art appreciation, advice threads, food threads, scientific discussions, philosophical discussions, politics, discussions about the board owner / moderators).

Here's what's dubious:
-Tumblr-tier posts (i.e. qt trap genitalia threads).
-4chan /b/-tier posts (i.e. general genetalia threads, posts of nonsensical jibberish, gore threads).
-Reddit-tier posts (i.e. black cuck threads, m00t appreciation threads).

Dubious threads might be deleted, but you are unlikely to receive a ban for creating them.

If you're unsure whether your post quantifies as improper content for this board, please make use of the following checklist:
>>I am posting content that will not benefit others. (_)
>>I cannot explain to myself why the content I am about to post is important. (_)
>>I realize I am about to post a thread of poor quality but just don't care. (_)

If you found yourself checking off any of these statements, you should reconsider posting.

>Posts that will get you banned.

-Child pornography (i.e. images of children where the child is exposed or engaged in a sexual act - not necessarily just pictures of young girls or boys).
-Being a generally unpleasant person (We keep track of poster I.D.s; if you continually make useless posts on this board, post dubious or illegal content, or otherwise act like a mumpsimus, you'll likely get the boot).

If you would like to appeal a ban, you can contact me via email. I will always have my email in the email field of my posts, so by right-clicking my name and selecting "open in new tab", you'll be able to immediately find it.



The "8" Lounge is committed to being a cozy browsing board that takes the best of other popular boards and generates new content.

Kick back, relax, and enjoy the experience.

Would any Mr(s). Mr(s). Anons Fancy a game of late night chess?

I will be editing the board based on your moves, Please have a seat, get your drink in hand and lets begin.

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.

/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?

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,

12

Kupperman provides an excerpt from a letter written to the Jamestown treasurer,

Master George Sandys, by Michael Drayton in 1622.

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.

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.

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.

I've recently been brushing up on Epicurus and I find his philosophy rather interesting. I'm particularly fond of the way he sees friendship and closeknit relationships as an essential part of a happy life. As someone whose had their circle of friends dwindle and drift apart in recent years, that particular nugget of wisdom weighs heavily on my mind.

However, I find his views on food, entertainment, and sex to be somewhat unpalatable. He only ate bread and water and occasionally some olives and cheese, and believed alcohol, sex, and procreation in general to be completely unnecessary. He reasoning is understandable, but not without flaws.

I think he was a little too eager to pass off personal biases as wisdom. People need more than bread and water and sex and intimacy are not unnatural or unnecessary components of the human condition. Perhaps if he hadn't seen sex as some kind of worthless act, he may have fathered some children of his own and had some meaningful insights on parents and raising a better family that forgoes the typical stresses and problems that drove Epicurus away from romance and intimacy in the first place.

The School of Life youtube page has a bunch of videos on different philosophers and they're all rather nice, but they are a very modern style of repackaging; short and pithy, with just enough content to hold the average attention span and not much else. It's a nice jumping off point, at least, and it's lead me to a number of much more thorough lectures and documentaries that were far more helpful.

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?

Last Man

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_man

>The last man's primary appearance is in "Zarathustra's Prologue." The last man is the goal that Western civilization has apparently set for itself. After having unsuccessfully attempted to get the populace to accept the Übermensch as the goal of society, Zarathustra confronts them with a goal so disgusting that he assumes that it will revolt them. The lives of the last men are pacifist and comfortable. There is no longer a distinction between ruler and ruled, strong over weak, or supreme over the mediocre. Social conflict and challenges are minimized. Every individual lives equally and in "superficial" harmony. There are no original or flourishing social trends and ideas. Individuality and creativity are suppressed.

Beer without hops

I figure some people might be interested in this here. I've been searching google for beer without hops for about an hour and the only two things I come up with are reccomendations for gruit, and the bruce williams beer. I can't find any gruit, and bruce williams lists hops as an ingredient in all its beers.

The reason I'm looking for hopless beers is because hops has more estrogen than soy, and it makes you sleepy.
Beet apparently didn't solely utilize hops up until recent centuries, and that was only because of laws passed by protestants who knew hops were bad for sex drive.

Any reccomendations?

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.

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.

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
19:55 - Maho: its better to get a man the best mustard bottle in the world than the shittiest car

Caucasian
>What are you good at / bad at?
Sciences and Art - I try to be a "Renaissance man"
>What do you feel your race is good at or bad at?
Empathy/Guilt-complexes.
>Which race in your opinion is the best?
The Asian race. Eastern Asians and not Western/American Asians to be specific.
>Why?
They are intelligent, in large part because their culture pushes them to be. They have drive, and that's something I can come to respect.
>What would be the best race mix?

Book Discussion General

Interested in discussing books? Have a seat and turn a new page! Welcome to /8lounge/!
R: 18 / I: 2 / P: 7

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.
With this as the primary argument it follows that many important and interesting questions are left outside of the frames of the discussion. This is a tactic used by leftists regularly - Pay Attention.
When you get accused of talking about race which isn't real anyways you evil white patriarch you are being prompted to defend yourself. This has already had the desired affect if all you follow up with is how humans were isolated for thousands of years on separate continents with almost no transfer between them. We now have proof that the little transfer there was would be like putting polar bears in the amazon in otherwords genes that helped you survive in one area wouldn't help you so much in a completely different area especially if they made you appear strange and become an outcast from society.
So important and interesting questions like which traits would help you survive in 1000 BC India as opposed to 1000BC scandinavia are left out of the discussion altogether. Questions like whether it even makes sense that simply adding as much diversity as possible to the genepool is beneficial. And why would it be? Snakes don't need amphibian genes though their diversity would surely be increased if they had more of those. What about questions like if there are many known recessive genes that cause diseases when homozygous then surely there must be some recessive genes that benefit the organism when homozygous?

Race can not exit. It can not be allowed to. For if it did then the class warfare of hating the rich for being rich would end. The real warfare of hating the banksters and lawmakers that control the currency and landownership would be distinguishable from simply hating the rich. We could not be guilt tripped to accept the tightening noose of economic poverty in the name of helping the poor.

If race exists then it is justified to encourage as many of the european race as possible to have as many kids as possible in the current times. If race does not exist then everyone must equally be encouraged not to have more than 1 child.

Race is a social construct. Stop being so privileged you white patriarch!

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?

Like many others, I wish to give back to the community in the form of original content without forcing it, but it seems difficult.

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.



All the best,

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?

Pipe Smoking

Just a good old fashioned pipe and some tobacco.

I find it very methodical and relaxing, like a form of meditation. There's a right way to do it and when you finally get it, the feeling is one of a kind.

It's definitely not something you do while doing something else, either. It's a sort of activity unto itself. You can still hold a conversation or watch a movie or something, but I'm not going to play a videogame while smoking my pipe.

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.

In the spirit of starting good threads, let's try this.

/8lounge/ will write a story, one sentence at a time (one word at a time is b-tier poppycock). The only other difference is that we'll take actual sentences from books. I'll start with the beginning of all beginnings. Feel free to take it wherever you please:

Advertising Organization Thread

Hello, gents. This thread is about discussions involving The "8" Lounge's first major advertising campaign.
>tl;dr version: At 7:00pm EST, create various /8lounge/ shill threads on other boards to direct traffic here; post links to your shills in this thread so we can cross-post and bump each other's threads.

THE GOAL
To any browsers who see this thread, at 7:00pm EST we will be putting up several shill threads on major boards such as
>>>/v/
>>>/b/
>>>/pol/
>>>/leftypol/
>>>/lit/
>>>/mu/
>>>/ck/
>>>/tech/

I also encourage you to create threads on smaller boards such as
>>>/hooch/
>>>/coffee/
>>>/am/
>>>/art/
>>>/christianity/
>>>/islam/
>>>/his/
>>>/econ/
>>>/libertypol/

Feel free to create your own shill threads (don't worry if there are already other Mr(s). Mr(s). Anons who have shill threads up - saturation is the goal anyway).

In the threads, please discuss the benefits of /8lounge/ and always have a link to the board (>>>/8lounge/). Aside from that, you can structure the shill threads however you want.

Below is an example of how you might want to structure your ad, taken from a kind Mr(s). Mr(s). Anon in the first shilling thread:
Short pitch - it's a fancy /b/ with less poppycockposting.

Pros:
-Nice CSS.
-Pleasant Community.
-Jukebox.
-There are certain times when the CSS changes for about an hour to look like a night club.
-Mods have been chill. chortle I poppycockposted on this board once just for kicks and either one of the mods or the board owner changed it to sound fancy and less like a poppycockpost. I don't think they've deleted any posts so far, but you'd have to ask them.
EDIT: As of last night, I have had to delete a couple posts, but these were in very poor taste and were the result of a anti-lounge spammer. I do, however, intend to remain accountable to all board users, and I am always open to answering questions about the board or board policies.

Lastly, keep the advertising in good taste. Be courteous and polite, even if other Mr(s). Mr(s). Anons try to spam or sage threads.

Once finished, post your boards on this thread to we can all cross-post and bump each other's threads.

Iron Chefs Anonymous

Evening, gents.

My parents were out and I had friends of mine over, so I entertained them by making boiled rice with potatoes (with skins), onion stems, lettuce, roast beef slices, and salt, pepper, and other spices, along with chicken wings and fries. Anyway, it got me wondering: How many of you can cook? What are your favourite recipes?

Let's get a good old fashion recipes thread going.

Roast Beef Sandwich Toasted:
Ingredients:
Rye bread.
Roast beef (sliced thinly).
Mayonnaise.
Onions.
Cheddar Cheese (optional).
Lays plain chips / salt and vinegar chips.
Baby dill pickles.

Instructions:

Caramelize the onions on a frying pan. If you want to, you can leave them a bit crunchy. Toast the rye and roast beef in your toaster oven (or if you don't have a toaster over, put the roast been in the microwave and heat it briefly or until warm while the rye goes in your toaster). Next, apply a thin sheet of mayonnaise to the rye along with the caramelized onions. You can add shredded cheddar too if you want, but the layers should be thin. Add pepper or thyme if you really want to, but it's not necessary. Then, toast the rest of the way, or if you like it light, leave it as is. Cut the sandwich in half and put it on a plate with a dill pickle or two and the lays chips. Serve with a soda if you want. If you're feeling like you want an extra serving of meat, you can use a third slice of rye to part roast beef and ham, which would give you something like pic related.

Alright, gents. Let's see what you got.

V-Day Date

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?

When it comes to drinks, gentlemen of /8lounge/, what is your drink of choice when it comes to getting comfy?

My drink of choice is tea. If I've had a particularly stressful day, I brew myself some oolong or pu-erh tea and it puts me right at ease. Coffee used to be my go to comfy drink, but now i associate it with getting up early for work and it doesn't calm me down like it used to.

/8lounge/

Can you see the paralohos, /8lounge/? How both the board and Robin Williams are so similar?

/8lounge/ committed suicide on August 11, 2014 in its home in 8chan at the age of 63 days.[8] In the initial report released on August 12, the /meta/ Sheriff's Office deputy coroner stated /8lounge/ had hanged itself with a belt and died from asphyxiation.[129][130][131] The final autopsy report, released in November 2014, affirmed that /8lounge/ had committed suicide as initially described; neither alcohol nor illegal drugs were involved, while any prescription drugs present in /8lounge/'s body were at "therapeutic" levels. The report also noted that /8lounge/ had been suffering "a recent increase in paranoia."[132] An examination of its brain tissue revealed the presence of "diffuse Lewy body dementia."[133] /8lounge/'s doctors reportedly believe that Lewy body dementia "was the critical factor" that led to its suicide.[134] Its body was cremated and it ashes were spread over the top weekly boards section on August 21.

Hey

Can the 8 Lounge please give me feedback on my album? It was made entirely of Bass Guitar and Vocals. Apparently good to sleep with. That is the only feedback I have heard!

Negroes

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.

I did not bring a camera with me on my expeditions, and so I have attached a rough sketch of what the negro tools I found (dating back to circa 2010) look like. The tool I have drawn is a negro shovel, used for digging up dirt. It belonged to a man named Peris, and I have also included his name in the image for any who wish to contribute additional research to this field.*

In honour of /8lounge/'s 666th post…

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

But he followed the pair to Pawtucket,
The man and the girl with the bucket;
And he said to the man,
He was welcome to Nan,
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.

Then the pair followed Pa to Manhasset,
Where he still held the cash as an asset,
But Nan and the man
Stole the money and ran,
And as for the bucket, Manhasset.

>And an extra vulgar addition.

There was an old man from Nantucket
Whose cock was so long he could suck it.
He said with a grin
As he wiped off his chin,
"If my ear was a cunt I could fuck it."

Travel-themed Thread

Hey loungers. If you could go on an adventure (no financial strings attached), where would you go and what would you do there - road trip, sight-seeing, hiking, visiting criminal underworlds?

I'd try heading to China and hiking through its forests. Alternatively, go to New Zealand in a long cloak and with a walking stick and visit the set of the Hobbit.

Pictures by the Anons name

I've noticed that each board has there own little pictures people can use, whether it is the type of OS used in /tech/ or political view in /pol/ or /leftypol/. Is there a list of all the general ones located on the site and also how to use them.

Help would be appreciated.

Spooky Business

Attention loungers,

There's been a thread recently up on /baph/ discussing a potential storehouse for… well, that's the thing. Nobody's quite sure, but there seems to be some sketchy business going on.

The OP posted it on halfchan's /x/, but it was deleted immediately. The thread on /baph/ can be accessed here:

Feel free to put your keen and penetrating minds to the task.
