So, did you get the horses out or no?

>>1138

if by me you mean the horses then yes

they ran off by themselves and are back home now.

if I ever see them again I'm going to try and ride one.

>>1140

>if by me you mean the horses then yes

>if by me

I'm confused, I never even used the word "me".

>>1141

You said "you"

I didn't wanna say "if by you you mean the horses" because that just looks weird and you can only really get away with that when speaking.

People do this a lot in English. If you're speaking of someone and they reply, they'll say "me" instead of "you" because otherwise it'd sound weird af.

anglesh muffugga

u a speak it?

>>1142

I think there was some other point I was trying to make, but reading back I can't remember what the fuck it was. Maybe I was being purposefully obtuse to provoke a response. I can't say.

Useless sage.

this place was a nice home. a place in my heart will remain forever reserved to your memory. moving onto endchan seems like the sensible thing to do. join me, and together we shall shitpost tastefully unto oblivion.

Treeboard looks pretty horrible. Yeah they get kudos for originality, but if there were more than 10 active users on that board it would become an unreadable hell in no time.

Letterbox seems like a nice place, but even slower than here.

A to B seems like the best of the bunch. There seem to be a lot of unintuitive features on that site though. I have no idea what half of the buttons do. There are lots of things you can click on that do nothing (obvious).

Oh god I just found it's "group scetch page." This damned site is a rabbit hole.

>>1085

those sites seems nice

...and last?

Dreamchan.net has an interesting /deeds/ board, though you've probably already seen it if you're prone to checking out the self-serve ads.

I find images very appealing. Thats part of my struggle with imageboards. I'll often find myself skimming comments in-between those with pictures. It's only natural but it still bugs me.

Are you by chance the same person who started the textpunk tech thread?

>Are you by chance the same person who started the textpunk tech thread?

That guys been posting his idea on every textboard he can find. The fact that there isn't a thread here is absolute proof we're not being shilled enough.

Whenever I go on nofap streaks, I go through these phases where I disable images so I don't have any chance of seeing porn, even accidentally (and also because it's harder to quit imageboards). It's always short lived, but I admit that it does feel nicer to browse an image-free Internet.

>>1065

Sorry to hear about that anon. Yeah, the thing that got to me most about college wasn't the work, it was all the social stuff. The work was expected, I just sort of hoped that with everyone around me getting laid I would sooner or later. It ended up working out, but it certainly wasn't freshman year. I felt like I should be "meeting my future wife" because so many of my friend's parents met in college. That was the real pressure, not the work.

>>1069

I've been dying to find someone since college started. That's why "losing" the girl, or maybe even just the hope of her, sucked so much. The school work is a factor but not the big one right now.

>>1079

As long as you don't complain about being friendzone'd, there's still hope for you as a person.

But take this advice: don't worry about it. Just don't. Friend's father didn't date or lay anyone in college, still ended up getting married to a girl 6 years his junior who is pretty good looking.

If the stress is really killing you, lower your standards. Bang a fat chick. Harpoon a whale. Lots of us have done it, it works. Personally, it didn't boost my confidence as much as it could have. What really helped was jelqing, but that's another story.

It's 1997. I get my crayons and tape a piece of white paper to the wall. I don't want to draw on the actual wall. I'm not even sure this is actually going to be enjoyable, so why mess up the wall? I start coloring. I'm channeling Tommy Pickles and all the other little kids I have seen on TV, who stereotypically draw on the walls any chance they get. They seem to do it automatically, like the desire just arises naturally in them and they are driven to continue doing it even when their moms and babysitters get mad. It's alright. It's kind of boring. I look at my crayon drawing; nothing special. Actually the texture of the wall beneath the paper is kind of ruining the aesthetic. I'm in this phase where I can't stand too much sporadic white patches in my drawings. If I am coloring something in, I'm straining my fingers hard, pressing the crayons and pencils down till the ends snap off. If I try to do that here I'm just going to rip the paper and get color on the wall. So I give up. I leave the paper taped up for a while. Maybe I can show Mom and explain to her about how I was trying to draw on the wall like little kids on TV do. She'll probably think it's funny how self-aware I am, although I've noticed that she only catches on to that some of the time. I make jokes she doesn't get all of the time, generally jokes that play off of the fact that I'm a little kid and therefore not supposed to know stuff. She ends up not realizing I am joking, then over-explains things, which I find funny but it's also a little frustrating when I want her to laugh too but I don't want to spoil my own joke. Anyway, I'm done drawing. I don't remember what I'm doing next. Who knows why certain memories stick around and some don't.

So tonight, near the end of my shift, I headed outside to throw away some more cardboard. We always flatten and put a sticker on it so council garbage men know they have to pick it up.

I go through the back door and see their van there.

They didn't pick any cardboard but they tell me to throw the one I am carrying in the van.

I do so, asking why they wouldn't pick any of the cardboard on the ground.

Their van is making a lot of noise, so I can't hear their answer.

I inspect the cardboard and check for anything suspicious.

No matter how hard I look, I can't find anything strange about it.

The manager comes and starts asking the garbage collectors to remove the cardboard, but they would still firmly refuse for some reason. I still don't understand why they won't get it, so I inspect it one more time, determined to understand the situation.

So that was I saw it. I mean him.

A homeless guy built a little shelter out of the cardboard to spend the night.

At this point, my manager and the dustmen were in the middle of a fierce debate to decide who had the wake the guy up.

They argued that the manager is the manager, so HE should be the one.

He argued that THEY are the ones who do that job, so they should wake the guy up.

I wanted to argue that the manager didn't want to get the homeless guy to go away because he is some kind of asshole, he just didn't want any trouble with the borough council, but I didn't say anything because, sincerely, I was just hoping they would shut the hell up so they wouldn't wake the poor guy up.

I know, I know … but in a way their attempt is very similar.

>>1117

That's true, they are similar, as we're both textboards. However, I don't want me or /txt/ to be connected to a board for pedophiles. I'm kind of a moralfag. Or maybe I just hate pedos specifically. Point is, I thank you for the suggestion, but I won't be adding it.

Based BO

browsing 8chan and other textboards

OP here, more than a month later. Funny how things this recent can have a feeling of minor nostalgia already.

I'm torrenting Studio Ghibli movies and learning C.

I'm feeling okay-ish. Which is good compared to before.

Just finished a s.t.a.l.k.e.r. session. going to make a snack and hit the hay.

why not post on 4-ch or something instead?

i mean this is cool i like this board but why does it have to be THIS board HERE on 8chan?

>>1105

Because boards can expire. They aren't deleted anymore, but after a while someone else can claim them, and that could either be good or pretty bad for those who used it before. Textboards have always been slow. It's pretty much in their nature. But there's no way to get around 8chan's system aside from posting.

>>1108

That doesn't really answer the question.

One can post both here and actual textboards.

sure why not

>>1109

The thread is about bringing this board back to life so it doesn't expire. I don't want the board to be given to just the next person who sees it. If I were to give it to somebody, it'd be someone who I'm sure could manage it well.

Posting on other textboards is fine, and I do that, but that isn't really the subject of the thread.

:(
