Early period quarantine was a blessing. I was living alone through most of it and got to do everything from home, it was peace and quiet that I haven't experienced in years. It's a shame that things are "reopening" now, at least in my country. The zombies are out on the streets again and work/college expect you to do the same. I can't wait till I'm financially stable enough to move out to the suburbs or another country altogether where quarantine is no different than any other time.
Admittedly I do miss the little social interaction I used to occasionally have with that one friend or family member that keeps me grounded, but otherwise I'm okay.

Indeed it's great. I find hilarious how normalniggers went insane with it. I even see workplaces in which they could easily work from home BUT the normalniggers in charge still force the wagies to go and work in the office, even though we are at a supposed new peak of new cases. God I hope the vaccines fucks up lots of people, so I can laugh at them when the vaccine ends up decimating them and their jewish ways.

it's nostalgic reading posts about quarantine. i am a summerfag as of right now and im wondering how best to dedicate my time over the next 3 months, i am working on my programming right now but i'm not sure how to pick up the pace without a class structure.
this board is incredibly dead but surprisingly comfy. i don't use endchan much but the site gives me a good fix and maybe it can grow into a sizeable comfy community
>>2428
i don't fucking understand why normalniggers absolutely need to rip time spent away from home when you can accomplish tasks remotely. people should be able to work wherever and however the fuck they want as long as they are able to accomplish their duties

It's all thanks to the ol' christcuck guilt over abortion that I've even had to deal with this shitshow of a reality. Ample opportunity and success never dispelled this hollow feeling. I am not sure if I can blame anything. Maybe I was just born fucked up. I wish I could scream until I dissolved into a puddle of gore.

quarantine really did shape a lot of modern culture in unspoken ways. remote work, social media, sentiments of paranoia ("pandemic paranoia"), and so many other ways we'll probably never fully remember or understand.

>how's life?
i am okay op. dead board.
you wonder if this will ever revive itself (what would that even look like?) or if it's gonna stay dead. for an inactive board, threads are pretty comfy and well thought out.

i like the phrase ebbs and flows. i think that kind of sentiment is more apparent on smaller ibs.

>>2414 (OP) 
i have a lot on my mind.

first and foremost, i feel pretty disillusioned with the notion of college. and the state i grew up in. and the people i looked up to while here. i think some duplicitous processes all started a much longer time ago than just recent events that i've been through, and, i can't help but find it incredibly disappointing. 

additionally, i am curious of the nature of imageboards. and why people can't just make ibs for the fun of it. are they all made to centralize power? bullshit. maybe some people just want a limited size board. yes, you could argue that the centralization of power was always the goal, but then i would argue that that power was built off a lie.

also. you're not anonymous. or, even if you tried to be, people would try to take that away from you. they do this thing called gang stalking in order to intimidate and silence people. 

it was all a lie. and i can't help but hate my college for it. whether or not the underlying structure made sense, it was a lie. i hate people who lie.

Holy fuck how did I miss this thread.

> you're not anonymous. or, even if you tried to be, people would try to take that away from you. they do this thing called gang stalking in order to intimidate and silence people. 
For the longest time, I thought that gangstalking was a paranoid delusion and that anyone who claimed to be a TI was just a batshit insane schizo, but it turns out that its actually true and that it started in the GDR, where it was called zersetzung. I don't think that all people who claim to be TIs are correct, but some of them definitely are not making shit up. From what I have seen, legit TIs are either people who delved too far into covert matters who the zionist NWO (such as people who report gangstalking after looking into their local masonic lodge's connection to pederasty and/or political corruption). I also have read a claim from a conspiracy theorist that if someone demonstrates/disseminates too much knowledge of certain occult topics on the internet, that person may become a TI.

Fucking communists, man. Of course they were the ones that just had to come up with insidious shit like this.

Numb and empty. I've been through so much mental duress and lethargy that apathy has consumed enough of me to consider suicide trivial, and daydreaming and hope towards the future is getting pushed to its limits especially as I get older. I don't feel how bad I feel anymore at this point in this depersonalization process.
>>4646
>I thought that gangstalking was a paranoid delusion and that anyone who claimed to be a TI was just a batshit insane schizo, but it turns out that its actually true
Thank you for your proud ignorance and arriving years later to this position than you should have been. Gangstalking isn't so spooky to me anymore once I read someone claiming to be a gangstalker who said that it was basically a subset of private investigation called domestic espionage and that at least a good portion of them are third-party contractors hired by feds and the rare bored rich person. Making people paranoid by getting them to notice the same agents, helicopter hovering, rearranging furniture, so on, is all standard procedure and operation. Once the veil is torn what bothers you the most is people rifling through your belongings.

>>4647
>depersonalization
This sometimes hits me like a freight train too.
>Thank you for your proud ignorance and arriving years later to this position than you should have been. 
The only reason I have been ignorant about this for so long is due to the amount of people claiming to be gangstalked not providing possible causes for being gangstalked, and also claiming almost everyone in their vicinity to be stalkers. If it makes you feel better, even though I disbelieved TIs, I never once went out of my way to try debunk gangstalking, it's just a thing that I never really believed in until very recently. I always kept my opinion about gangstalking to myself.
>once I read someone claiming to be a gangstalker who said that it was basically a subset of private investigation called domestic espionage and that at least a good portion of them are third-party contractors hired by feds and the rare bored rich person.
This is new to me. From what I have read online, gangstalkers are a mix of government employees (including law enforcement) and neighborhood watch-kind of groups who were deliberately lied to and told that their target was a sex offender being investigated for pederasty. Not trying to debunk you btw, just saying I didn't knew private contractors were involved in this too.

>>4648
The accounts and details of that claim was some guy on 4chan so make of it what you will though the whole concept isn't farfetched: covert group data inquiry on a designated subject. Governments are the only group who would benefit from it frequently and within budget so the concept is linked to them, and having contracted agents gives them a buffer from culpability.

>>4649
>The accounts and details of that claim was some guy on 4chan so make of it what you will
I believe it. There are still some good and legit anons there.
>and having contracted agents gives them a buffer from culpability.
I'm a fucking dumbass for not considering this before.

Going outside during quarantine was the closest I felt to society feeling real and organic again since 9/11. It also denoted who was or wasn't a compliant nagging midwit.

I totally abstained from the website after the exodus and seeing the post quality I had no regrets but retrospectively I would've benefit going on the slower boards that still maintained decent post quality and lively environment as I now see in retrospect especially when /x/ and such were dead on 8chan. Now it's gotten even shittier since 2011 since 2014 since 2018 since 2021, it's only getting worse and you have to wade through so much wasted space on the catalog. Don't you have to use a fucking email to post undeterred now?

>>4652
>Going outside during quarantine was the closest I felt to society feeling real and organic again since 9/11.
Can confirm.

I only complied with the whole mask bullshit because I was gray manning.
>>4653

Yeah, it's very hard to find good posts nowadays.
>Don't you have to use a fucking email to post undeterred now?
That seems to be the case, which nullifies the purpose of an anonymous imageboard. All I do there is lurk and screencap anything that I find to be worthy of preserving. Feels really bad when I run into a post that's worth replying to but I refuse to use even a throwaway email, whoever decided that was a good idea should go fuck themselves.

>>4654
>whoever decided that was a good idea should go fuck themselves
The faggots at the FBI wouldn't mind complying with that suggestion. If Hiro's still running it then he was strongarmed by glowniggers into implementing that and doubly serves as a way to improve post quality so threads don't dive down and out in 10 minutes. Meanwhile as disgusted as I am to admit I've seen that Reddit has had an increase in post quality, not that I'd ever make an account or that it still isn't cancer, due to the general shift to right-wing values since covid and that absorbing the communities of so many websites that went defunct means not everyone will conform.

>>4655
>If Hiro's still running it then he was strongarmed by glowniggers
I would like to be so optimistic, but old chatter from the Japanese image board scene alleges that cutting deals with glowniggers has effectively been his business model for some time now.

>>4655
>Meanwhile as disgusted as I am to admit I've seen that Reddit has had an increase in post quality due to the general shift to right-wing values since covid and that absorbing the communities of so many websites that went defunct means not everyone will conform.
I have noticed that too, there's been a surge of high quality posts on plebbit that are even actually worth preserving. Unfortunately I haven't seen any good /r9k/-adjacent posts, but really good stuff relevant to my personal interests regarding spirituality, ufology and things like that.
>not that I'd ever make an account or that it still isn't cancer
Same, I completely disagree with their social credit system and there are still too many glowniggers fucking with users.

I moved out of my dads house last year and I live with my brother, on one hand it's nice to finally be out of there because my dad was a meth addict and dealing with the constant influx of human garbage squatting in the house was driving me to the breaking point On the other hand though I've become painfully aware of how much I don't fit into society, my coworkers all think i'm weird and they make fun of me a lot behind my back, especially because i'm a fatass. I have social anxiety and its only gotten worse lately, even mundane shit like making a phone call gives me a panic attack. I know it's fucking stupid but I just have no control over it. I can't even go to family shit without freezing up, I keep dodging them and they still treat me like shit for it for it even when I told them directly what was going on with me. For years I thought if I got a job and moved out I would suddenly become a normal functioning person but i'm still the same as when I was a NEET, just less happy. At least when I just sat around playing video games and watching anime 24/7 I could feel safe in my cocoon, now I just have to pry myself away from the cocoon and interact with people who clearly don't like me. I had a coworker last month file an HR complaint against me saying I made sexual comments about them and other women, completely ridiculous since I avoid talking to people as much as possible, doubly so for women. Despite this my boss just assumed I was guilty and drafted up a whole write up and planned to fire me, the only thing that saved my ass was the fact the woman that filed the complaint said I did these things during one of my days off. I'm so invisible to these people they don't even know my schedule, not even my supervisor does apparently. I hate it so much, I just want to quit but it's either this or homelessness. I already know if I get another job it's just going to be more of this bullshit, it's not the job that's the problem, it's me. 

Sorry for the blogpost, I just have no friends so I can't really talk about this shit with anyone. Also this captcha is fucking awful, who made this crap?

>>4676
Maybe you could find a job where you work in solitude like truck driving.

>>4676
>dealing with the constant influx of human garbage squatting in the house
Life can be rough enough without having family drag you down on top of it. Sorry to hear you had to deal with that.
>the only thing that saved my ass was the fact the woman that filed the complaint said I did these things during one of my days off
Any repercussions for the bitch that filed the false complaint?

>>4655
>>4657
The dichotomy between cuckchan and reddit, I believe, represents a greater issue for the Internet that the imageboard model is quickly becoming obsolete. There's just too many bots and shitskins to go around. Even a site so out-of-the-way as here still has regular issues with nightly cheese pizza links and /b/ being the designated shitting board. There needs to be more stakes when you're making a post.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a resurgence in the popularity of forums or forum-like sites in the future for this very reason.

Forums will never come back, the modern equivalent is just discord

>>4680
Are you stuck in 2020 or something?

>>4681
No, but people are pretty much stuck mentally almost a decade in the past. and besides once people are on a platform they will never leave until it becomes unbearable

>>4682
I'm saying that any replacing the software did of anything already happened. The company shot itself in the foot by not doing enough about the allegations of being a home for child groomers. d*scord doesn't even come up in conversation any more except in a derogatory sense; if you told the average person that you use it, he's probably going to assume that you're having furry tranny esex on it or something.

>>4683
average person who plays video games pretty much lives under a rock unless it comes on local broad cast television they don't know shit

>>4684
Anybody who unironically watches cable is probably using Failbook istead.

>>4685
welcome to sad reality, majority of people are illiterate and only know how to use a phone

>>4686
What are you even trying to say at this point? d*scord is irrelevant. Update your boogeymans.

>>4676
>I had a coworker last month file an HR complaint against me saying I made sexual comments about them and other women, completely ridiculous since I avoid talking to people as much as possible, doubly so for women
You need to take that dead serious and counter-report her, if you get convicted of that in the work place then go homeless your life is fucked. It could backfire if you tell them about the shunning but a sexual harassment allegation will ruin your life. Put on a veneer of confidence and give people looks to fuck off if it has nothing to do with work.
>>4687
Irrelevant in what way? It's still just as popular and nothing has replaced it. As for forums "coming back" new ones are still made and the ones that still exist carry on like the internet didn't change since 2007.

>>4688
Again, the problem was that the other guy was treating d*scord like it was still 2020, where anons were openly posting channel links and everyone was unironically doomposting about how the site was going to devour every community.
>new ones are still made and the ones that still exist carry on like the internet didn't change since 2007

I suppose it depends on what constitutes sizeable. Kiwi Farms is an example of a forum that has had a good run in this era of the internet. I guess people still use Something Awful. Most of the forums I frequent are older, but new forums come and go on Tor. Reddit has probably swallowed up a lot of content that would have been on independent forums in years past, but people are finding out the hard way how that can be a problem. Some of the banned subreddits have had to split off into their own forums. Not terribly familiar, but isn't allthefallen in a forum format? There have been incel forums and places like sanctionedsuicide. varishangout isn't a large community, but it's a thing.

>>4678
against her? hell no, they didn't even move forward when I filed a complaint to HR. They told me to just let it go. I wasn't even angry really, just depressed. I don't do shit to anyone, I never bad mouth people, I don't act like an autist at work, I bathe regularly, all that shit. I go out of my way to be as inoffensive as possible and people still don't like me.

>>4693
You should find the biggest guy at your work and beat the shit out of him in front of everyone then theyll know youre the strongest and they will no longer fuck with you out of respect. Worked for me in school.

/r9k/ was my home, i have been to alot of /r9k/, even this one, since zzzchan was first up online. But for some reason, i haven't posted here in a long time, and i mean years. It's not like i don't use imageboard, I just don't use this board at all. The replacement I found was /digi/, since it has a lot in common with /r9k/. I guess one reason was that I used to be a NEET, and im trying to distance/forget that period of my life ever existed. I read up some of my posts on this board, and it shocks me how much time i wasted and how different I was back then. I was really weird and angry. I have been trying all this time, its not perfect oh no its not, but i think i've learnt a few things. 
It's not like being neet is totally worthless, it does make me a bit crazy and ambitious, as weird as it sounds. But it looks like I will be posting here often again. 

It really hurts every time i look back at how much i waste not doing what i want to do, but maybe there is still time for me, i just need to focus. I hope anons can also find happiness, im finding mine. The important thing is to keep trying i guess, no matter what.

/digi/ was brought up precisely because the anon in question stated its similarity to /r9k/ and using it as a surrogate

regardless the entire point of me talking about (not really, i just posted a screencap) being kicked out is more about opening up the discussion (i guess i succeded) about how many of these places are just dens for failed normalfags, or "not really outcasts", something about the shifting landscape of the internets as has been talked about in FTDDTOT about echochambers and echochamber accessories violently protected through a inherent lack of honesty and full-frontal agression

I was actually the main anon vehemently ranting and raving about /digi/ for the past couple of months or so after I got kicked out on the grounds that I was a "shill" for saying that both of the candidates in the recent US election were controlled opposition.

There's no doubt a considerable amount of other anons who also dislike that place (or at least I've seen posts that weren't mine which were critical of /digi/) and the users there are extremely sensitive about their hug box, which wouldn't have mattered so much if they had just kept to themselves. 
I do feel like I sperged out way harder than I should have sometimes and made the situation worse though, even if the little bitch mods were being incompetent/subversive.
