Then why won't you accept my friend request?

did I ever accept it?

Yes you did

I'm an INTJ, actually
Never met another one

Finally. Male I assume? How goes it? And how far along are you on plans for world domination? kek

It's been good. I've had a lot of responsibility granted to me because I'm an excellent planner and things usually work out when I'm in charge of them. As for my domination plans, those are classified.

Well that's cool bro.
Drop by whenever.
Needless to say we don't get to talk to other INTJs often.

pretty interesting read man.

Highly recommended. 25C-NBOMe report(s) coming soon. *fingers crossed* as long as my delivery comes in. Will probably work for it for a while bore writing about it. But we'll see. Just hope it comes in. A bit stressed about it. Was a great deal but still cost a poorfag like me a pretty penny.

let me know how that goes

For sure. I'm hoping hoping hoping it'll be in my monday or tuesday. It's really stressing me out.

how did you buy them online bro? arent they illegal?

Everything I've written is a work of fiction or things I heard from friends.
I've obviously not commited any crimes.
They tell me that there is magical place that some people go.
The darknet, on this net there are black markets. I hear you can find stuff there.

This is no work of mine. Thanks for the mention bruh

why do even want them? I'm reluctant.

It's a fair trade.

Helping a friend out who collects them

currently a gem recipe whore slut of needing more

Red Weed

No can do.
Just telling you now, everything on my account is up for trade, everything.

Merry Christmas, I like the holidays actually, they aren't much fun for me these days, but that doesn't meant they shouldn't be.

Good to know. I hope yours is peaceful and warm!

WINTER IS COMING!

I know.

Barely, but I'll help if I can.

You didn't answer how you're doing. :/

I am "barely". As usual.

I see. I wish you the best.


I want to learn as much as I can about the differences between a capitalistic economy, and a socialistic one. I know the basic gist, capitalism favors private ownership and promotion of profit. While socialism favors state or public ownership, and a promotion of the wealth of the nation rather than personal wealth. But if there's more to be said about how they differ, I'd like to know.

Thanks. Don't worry about it tho, I'm just living my lot.
Anyways,
you probably already know this but,

Adam Smith wrote about the "Invisible hand" in the Wealth of Nations, this was basically the concept that a capitalistic society was self regulating. Kind of like supply and demand, which is the easiest example. If people all want to buy donuts, then the prices of donuts go up because increased demand means people will pay more for them. If nobody wants donuts the price of donuts goes down to attract more people to buy them. The "Invisible hand" is self regulating the market, all without governmental intervention.

On the other hand, lel, socialism controls he market, with what I think is called "central planning". This means that the government regulates the market, and this usually has disastrous results. For example, lets say the government decides that factors should produce 1000 jackets and 200 cars. And sell them for a certain price. But in reality, nobody wants or needs ******* jackets and EVERYBODY needs cars. What happens? People go ******* trying to get cars that literally don't exist. It's a terrible and inefficient system, and why socialistic systems like communism are doomed to fail.

If for example, that society used the "Invisible hand" instead, the market would self regulate, because demand for cars would make the industries generate more cars for profit, and jacket businesses would go out of business. The market will correct itself.

I forgot where the story comes from, but its a great example of why socialism ends up being idealistic and unreasonable.

It goes something like this:
And there will be a great hall where all the builders, inventors, will create many copies of things like chairs, luxuries, etc. and anybody can have whatever they want for free.

Which brings us to the most important difference: Self interest.
In capitalistic societies self interest drives people to do stuff, because they have to compete and work hard to earn the fruit of their labor, to earn money and stuff.
In socialistic societies (because of the same self interest) there is little incentive to do anything or innovate, because at the end of the day you get paid even if don't do jack **** .

Small things like this. But these are basic so sorry if this is just review.
Basically tho, basically everything in modern economics rejects socialism.
How can one make money if we give away **** for free?

They call economics the dismal science for good reason.
The biggest difference is that socialism just doesn't work.

Though I am an advocate for socialized healthcare and education.

Thank you for your time. It's a good answer.

heyo

why did you get banned?

Just a dispute over one of my uploads. But it's fine now.

Good to hear.

sounds good.

Yes, it's a pretty one I'll send.

I like them too much to sell them.

Do you realize how funny I had to be to get those badges?
I don't trade them on principle. There are two silver badges for aisle in auction tho.

I offered him 10 K, that's the fair price on these things IMO.

I dont' really need more OC badges to be honest, I just bought those on a whim. I'd be willing to pay for big items I don't have yet if you have any dupes tho.

OK, I thought you might want to be a solid 3rd place on those or liked them that much, worth a try Let me look.

Still here bb ?

ok and YES I DO, that is how I know for certain that I will never have one without the help of others.

There are ? Thanx

Aw. I don't care about you either. Anyways got it.
As usual I'll be more mindful.

I understand, addy says in mass messages different things, like upload, so I upload but outside of that nobody tells me **** about specifics or whats new. So understand that much.

Anyways now that I have your attention, since we are on the subject, I would like to note that what loli actually refers to is prepubescent. The literal definition of pedophilia is before puberty. Puberty and above isn't loli. Jail bait, even young teen isn't technically loli. That hebe something Not to mention something like a vampire loli which is a gray area. Semantics wise. Generally speaking 13+ isn't loli, though it's interesting to note that girls are hitting puberty quicker these days. Some think it's all the growth hormones in the food and milk and others think it't all the fat. The **** if I know, but it makes enough since.

Not like anybody gives a **** but that's actually how it is. I mean biology adulthood is pretty much puberty, adolescence really only exists because if mammals grew too quickly the level of food they would need to fuel growth and survival would end up killing them. But I'm getting off on a tangent here.

Anyways, I got pissed because every other newish mod it's always some **** .
Also you know, I think part of the reason things are they way they are on this site is twofold, I think the oatmeal thing did a number on addy, both in public relations and image. imo oatmeal is a faggot, addy had a **** lawyer and it became a debacle,

Then there was the loss of google or wherever, that was the end of the age of porn and lewd posting. I think that also did a number on the site.

The only thing I'm not sure of is how addy really feels about things. Maybe he's just trying to keep his head low and stay out of trouble legally, maybe it's just foresight, maybe it's face value. I dunno,

but my overall conclusion is the same.
This site should really be more popular it's a good site.

And you should know at least this much, I've always been loyal to this site,
I'm here to contribute a little and here to stay, I don't have all OC badges for nothing either. This isn't my first account, but it is the last.

So if there's an issue just talk to me, or let me know whats up, don't make me sort out these issues myself.
I may be no mod or ever want to be, but I deserve that much I think.
Addy probably doesn't really care about me, I mean I hope he does even a little,
but I don't expect it, and I don't need it, because I like this site

In that respect I'm on your team here.
I'm a site patriot.
And I've seen many a user come and go.

But I'm still here.

personality type, the king of the rational branch, and also one of the personalities the others tend to dislike

but you are not a rational person

The nickname of the INTJ is the Mastermind
From your view what you is irrelevant, but the reality of what I "see" is....

what
that made no sense

Typo, what I had meant to say was that from your point of view what you see is irrelevant, but what I "see" paints a very different reality than you might perceive.
Pic related

from my point of view?
im still not understanding this, ive been up for like 30 hours and am not very lucid.
explain it to me like im 5.

I'm very rational. You probably mistake things for morality or ethics as "rational" when in reality people like me are the rational ones. I see things for what they are, and use that knowledge to manipulate the world around me. A Mastermind, masterminds.

I'm quite rational. The reality is that I may be too rational.

rational people dont call themselves rational. They also dont sit and have arguments with people online, because the rational thing to do when someone argues with you online is to ignore them.
youre just narcissistic.

Okay now you're being irrational.
Rational people are self aware.
Most people--are not.

I can understand who you are,
but you? Will never understand me.
So you have no power over me.
The opposite is true. "Mastermind"

We aren't very popular because of all of this.
Unlock more social (and irrational) personality types.

youre right, i am being irrational.
but that doesnt make sense, all humans are self aware. If you really think youre the only kind of person who's self aware youre just being an elitist.
are you popular? do you get all the girls and have the coolest friends?
do you hang with the chads and nancys and smoke your fags with your big boy chaps?

"All humans are self aware"
Sure they are, while they live out their meaningless lives thinking of nothing other then themselves, their own problems, not seeing the world or it's corruption or even understanding how they are being lied to and manipulated by corporations the media and the government .

People understand nothing, not about themselves or the world they live. They are like mindless drones, mulling along their pointless existences while the world goes to **** . It's also why religion is so widespread.

Most people are utterly clueless,
because ignorance is bliss

first point, most people are not unaware of the previously stated things, they just dont care because thats their life. They dont have any reason not to be "manipulated" by corporations and media and government because it does not benefit them to resist it and does not change their life if they are not. What youre saying right now is not rational, because you have just summed up every single person as stupid and ignorant, which is obviously a very irrational statement. Any time anyone talks to you or tries to influence you, you turn their ideas aside and simply repeat your nonsense about being better than everyone. Please tell me how that's rational, because a large part of being rational is being able to see the points to every side of an argument and to not look down on either side for their views.
Second point, ignorance is bliss. Why do you think most people are so fond of their childhood memories? Are you saying that you would rather know life is **** and be unhappy about it than not realize it and be happy? The argument that ignorance is something that people do not deserve is the same as wanting to be right just to be right. Think about it like this. Two people get a **** sandwich. It's been seasoned and flavored so it doesnt taste like **** , but if you really try hard enough, you can tell its **** . If you do not eat this sandwich you will starve. One person realizes it's **** , but has to eat it anyway or die. They are unhappy because they know they are being fed **** .
The other person doesnt know, doesnt care, and continues to eat **** for their entire life. Happily. Both people are eating the **** , but only one of them is happy.

You're contradicting yourself, and no--they don't.
That's why people can't name names, who controls the food supply? Who owns the news? Is modern medicine really medicine? Do we actually have representation in government? Is global warming real? What's wrong with our food? What's wrong with our chemicals? On and on and on. The average American and average person is utterly clueless, and usually believes whatever they see on the news, which is almost a lie brought to you by one of their six megacorporate owners.

People don't have a clue.
And neither do you.

Everything you just said is a perfect example of the delusion.
It's classic doublethink my friend. Trust me.

are you really quoting 1984
kill yourself please
remove yourself from the gene pool

Its you who needs to kill yourself. George Orwell understood better than anybody how manipulation is used to control and fool the populace, read his essay on English and politics: www.npr.org/blogs/ombudsman/Politics_and_the_English_Language-1.pdf

You through a hissy fit and insult me all you want.
You'll still be wrong, and still be just as clueless.

Because unlike you all I care is about the truth.

I didnt insult you, I gave you a friendly suggestion
if all you care about is the truth, gib me all your items pls and ill tell you a truth
ty

HOW DARE YOU POST CUTE KITTEN GIRLS AT ME
and lol no

but seriously, read that essay when you are rested
that might be your first clue as to what I'm talking about when I say that "the people" are mostly clueless about everything

unlike*

what you see*

They do a lot of original songs with the voice actors too. Shaft is just based.

when are you gonna watch katanagatari? The story and the characters are great but I heard the ending was sad so I'm not looking forward to that bit

idk, tests and finals to worry about, 2busy

hmm same. I watched like 2 episodes this past week. Gonna have nothing to do during the start of the winter break though. Gonna binge so much ****

I may binge on drugs but idk what I'll do. Prolly just relax in general. I need it.

sounds like fun times

is items up again? perhaps but for what? I'm not exactly churning out OC these days

How about just the blue Spiral Badge, it's BLUE

IDK, what do you like ? Check my dups

One exception to the movie rule is the Gintama movie, but you pretty much have to be caught up prior to it's release date, if you ever get into Gintama at all. Beyond that I usually never recommend anime series-movies. And there is a pretty good reason for that.

Ignore anon comment Yeah I'm 12 episodes deep into Gintama. I sort of stopped watching it after Fallout came out and when I was done with that I wanted to watch something else. Watched the Kyokai movie cause an AMV about it came out and I sort of got inspired. Bad decision.

Also I'm currently watching Katanagatari. 4 episodes in. SHAFT does not dissapoint

Oh yeah? I'm looking out for that one as well, haven't started yet though. You seen Teacher of Despair yet? That's also quality shaft.

You should. It's good.

No I haven't. If I'm gonna watch another shaft anime next it's probably gonna be arakawa under the bridge

yes

Can I have the poke tiddies?

yes?

Thanks...

That's more of an inside joke with myself but in honesty I have no moral boundaries and there is no telling what I'll do.
But one thing remains true.

Regardless of age, affiliation, species, living, non living, alien, monster, supernatural, sex, relation, etc. If it moves (or even if it doesn't)
I will **** it.

I'd rape you.

Eurasian? The **** . And yeah? 1v1 me bro.

It's been a few years, refresh my memory?

**** why do you always convince me. Fine after this Ushio anime I'll give Gintama another shot. I tend to binge anime and Gintama is really ******* long. Not sure how that will work out

gg no re, lol, as always I merely hope you enjoy
There's always been a lot to appreciate, which is why when someone says "there's no anime to watch" I know their Normie, casual faggots who don't know nothin at all about anime. This is a ****** golden age of glorious anime and I'm loving every second of it. I just ignore and avoid the bad stuff like I do with glorious Western Cinema.

Well, I've got a lot of school work and studying I've been putting off so, later

It would be a 8/10 anime if it wasn't for the last 4 episodes, they REALLY dragged it down. There were lots of plotholes and a lot of new stuff was introduced yet not properly explained. We saw Ryner's father appearing for the first time and killing Ryner, or wait maybe not because he's alive again. We see Ryner's mother too who told him to touch a door so he would wake up.

Sion's double personalities are never explained. One wants to kill Ryner the other wants to let him live and offer him as a sacrifice? I didn't ******* get that part.

Miran's (the raven shadow guy) personality changed drastically. He went from a cold and calculated to smiling, planning Sion's birthday with his friends dude. Didn't like that.

The whole alpha stigma thing was never explained. We don't know why Ryner is a special kind of alpha stigma, I'm guessing because of his parents sealing something into him but that is just my guess, wasn't in the anime.

Overall it was extremely open, something that you hate. The kingdoms are going to war, Ryner and dango girl are gonna try and stop Sion I guess? The alpha stigma kids and Tiir were also abandoned even though they stated that they'd definitely come back for Ryner. Good anime, bad ending. It all points to season 2 yet as I understand that will not be the case

Ending is actually adequate imo. Sure, we'll never get S2 but we get the general gist of what's going to happen. This anime was adapted from a light novel that won a contest, it rose and fell just as quickly. As far as I recall, basically the Kings corruption/possession is basically eating away at him, so as he goes he and on his crusade or whatever, EVENTUALLY he and Ryner are going to be enemies. Also, Ryner will eventually have to deal with the god inside him, which is probably linked to the source of alpha stigma, a powerful dark magic like the one the king is dealing with, perhaps even the same. Ryner is stuck in the internal battle caused by alpha stimga, because if you recall, everyone who has it eventually goes insane.

Wasn't Miran the guy who had the homo father who was after his ass (literally)? He probably was relaxed after he killed his father. It was implied his father molested him and whatnot. It makes sense. I mean he's bent out for revenge.

imo it was worth the watch. the only open end I can stand are the ones that give foreshadow to the future. Because at least then I have something to go off of.

Yeah this definitely needed a season 2 to make it good. Awesome 20 first episodes, then it turned to meh at best. I gave it a 6/10.

Most likely gonna watch psycho-pass next

If LoLH pissed you off I'd avoid psycho pass.

why?

First of all it's too western on the influence, second of all it's got an ending that's utterly unsatisfying.

What do you mean too western?

It borrows a lot of elements. I mean it's an interesting premise and all, but good god will you hate it by the end. Fine go ahead and watch it. Let me know what you think when you finish.

Alright.

What about Guilty Crown? Is that good?

You are like the lottery of terrible endings right now. Absolutely not. You gotta avoid some anime. the worse of which is one called Valvrave.

Lol yeah I kinda am. But like was the Psycho Pass ending that bad? I'm kinda in the mood for dark, violent anime. Preferably with an OP MC.

It's kinda like "hilter did nothing wrong" except unlike real life it's not a good meaning.
Dark and violent is hard to come by without the edge. You might like Tokyo Ghoul but it's kinda open ended and idk if we'll ever see more seasons. Not many names come to mind. You seen Another? That's a well rounded complete anime.

Well is the "hitler" in that anime the MC? Is he likable at all?

And I heard mixed things about Tokya Ghoul. Like they didn't follow the manga properly and ****** it up or some **** .

And yes I've seen Another. It was pretty good

Yeah, it's a mixed bag.
I can't give you spoilers to explain why it's bad, but the MC is inconsequential.
But it IS a pretty good example of why Modern Japan is completely headed down the wrong road, and imo, probably a good prediction of Japans dystopian future.

Any who, it may not be what you're looking for but if you wanna go down the dystonia route and lose some seriousness, Desert Punk is a quality choice.

What do you mean heading down the wrong road? Are you talking about anime or Japan itself?

How would you rate Tokyo Ghoul?

Japan man.
6.5 out of 10. idk how much it ****** up from the manga, but the main problem with it was the low animation budget, bds might be watchable tho

Could you explain? Why is it on the wrong path?

Yeah I'd rather not then. Man it's just that after watching Parasite I can't get enough of that sort of anime

I strongly recommend you give Gintama another shot. At least until you make it to one of the serious arcs. Gintama is strange, sure, and the humor is advanced, so advanced in fact it's a little known fact that even the Japanese have trouble keeping up with the references and the like, BUT

By the the time you've mulled through a few seasons Gintama is like that irreplaceable best friend, you both speak your own language and have a ton of inside jokes only you understand.

It's utterly top tier like Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, just a different genre.
Minus the quality arcs when **** gets real.
but w/e

Any who, it does in fact affect us. Japan right now is on that teeter totter so we still get some good **** , should be okay as long as the scales don't give out in one direction so to speak. Japan also has the 3rd largest GDP in the world, so who knows how that will play out geopolitically in the global stage.

Isn't it obvious? Japan is a repressed country, always has been, even though things have kind of been lightening up in some areas due to western culture, Japan is basically still an empty, career driven, low pay, drone, Asian culture. Part of the reason why Japanese media is so exciting is because the Japanese work harder and play hard so to speak. Then just look at the industry itself. Censorship laws, decency laws, laws about lolis, the fact that anime after anime has society reaffirming ******** like "Oh I'm underage" or "respect your elders no matter what even if they're evil cunts" and so and so forth.

Suicide rate is pretty high in japan, though they cover up a lot with cold related deaths. It's because it's ******* repressed. I mean the West, namely America is pretty repressed to but Japan is a land of extremes.

One of the reasons I'm envious of Japan is the solidarity. It's kind of in it's own little world. And that is just another reason Japan is probably headed toward the dystonia future where the government controls everything regulates human emotion and "decency". And I fear this problem is far more likely than in the U.S. for example. U.S. dystonia is pretty obvious, because we're basically already living in it. Just a matter of time as the ******** keeps piling up.

You've discovered one of the discernible qualities of good anime, I call it, "Alpha MC" and it's extreeeeemely rare in anime. Since so much anime does that cookie cutter "self insert" ******** .

Thats why I love anime like LoLH and something like NGNL even more. Also why I like Attack on Titan even though the hipsters and normies all go on about how it's to popular. I was literally as hype as I was for monogatari.

As time goes on your taste will sharpen, you'll realize/learn more about Japan and it'll allllll start to make much more sense.

Btw you watch Gintama? Hilarious, best comedy anime around, and the series arcs are among the most quality that the industry has to offer.

OH! Something does come to mind.
Though it's kinda old school and the MC is a bleeding heart, Ushio to Tora is totally recommendable. It's got an MC who powers up by feeding his soul to a demon slaying spear and generally violent.

It's a shame. But what can I say? It doesn't really affect me or anybody living outside of Japan. Yes the anime reflects their state but not all. There is still at least one gem like NGNL and Overlord coming out every season (well almost).

And yeah the whole I'm underage thing I hate. Like even in ******* Jojo they say "Oh I can't drink I'm still in school".

And yeah I liked AoT too. The weebs nowadays hate it because it got mainstream but what can you do about hipsters?

I tried Gintama and the whole over the top alien humor didn't really appeal to me. I know it's good but it's just not my cup of tea I don't think.

And yeah Ushio to Tora looks interesting. I'll add it to my list. Maybe even watch it next
