I feel as though I'm falling out of touch with the ability to take it easy...

How do I get it back?

 No.156194

File:doktor.jpg (346.2 KB,708x590)

To find out how to get it back, you first must discover how it was lost. Either you found yourself in a new, un-easy situation, or your old, easy situation got dull. Without knowing which, it seems to me that either way the answer is to do something new and put yourself in the most relaxing circumstances possible. Being alone in nature for several hours usually works, almost forces the brain to ease up, but your results may vary.

I'm assuming it has to do with your amygdala having the fight-or-flight response triggered in you, leading either to constant active unease or passive burnout. A body in anxiety sees relaxation as alertness-compromising safety risk.
You have to impose a feeling like you're diving, and relax so much that you would almost collapse down onto the floor, but you're to hold yourself on your feet even if you drop your stance. You may have your first time while you sit. Your task is to imprint, memorize, recall this flow of life feeling of getting as close as possible to the very fall/stand boundary.
At least that's what had helped me.

This sensation was maddening. I had this constantly in the latter half of college. All these things I could to do relax and take it easy, but the constant nagging in my body that I'm wasting my time and have to be doing something or other sucked all the life out of enjoying things.

Does /qa/ listen to rap?
I love artists that display mastery of techniques and diction. It's not limited to rap, any artistic display of ultimate authority over one's diction I find mesmerizing. Couple that with vivid story telling, and I'll listen to the same tracks on loop for months on end.
I'll be using this thread to introduce a couple artists I've been absolutely loving these past days. Also would like to see what /qa/ listens to.

Starting with someone most people into rap would know of; MF DOOM.
At first I didn't get the hype around DOOM. His tracks lacked all the characteristics of a mainstream song. No catchy rhythm, no hooks or choruses, just straight talking for half a minute or two. I didn't get what was so good about him.
Heard about his
>One for the money, two for the better green, 3-4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine
line in https://youtu.be/3k0LezNohJk , thought that was neat.
Few years after that, I decided to actually give DOOM a try, starting with Madvillany ( https://youtu.be/zQ0yXh_ADlQ&list=PL9dk_xtWpAkKs1-EKcvq-nKwdaaS-3czd ).
As I went on listening, the vibe of the album grew on me. The instrumentals by Madlib played a major role towards me liking the album. Then, once I started paying attention to the lyrics, it was like a new door of endless possibilities was opened for me. I liked his vocals, his voice, and the way he rhymed and was just having fun with rhyming in general. Just pure rhymes, no funky rhythm, no catchy hook, just raw rhymes. With all the references and slangs, I had no idea what the fuck he was saying. It really felt like he was rhyming (not rapping), not for someone to listen to, but just because he had rhymes in him that he wanted to let out.
The whole album is full of great rhymes, but the one that comes to mind right now is from https://youtu.be/x8Ru8d0l_fU :
>Hackthoo'ing songs lit, in the booth, with the best host
>Doing bong hits, on the roof, in the west coast
Love the fact that he uses "Hackthoo" instead of "spit" here.

>I Hear Voices
Huh, the track in the Operation Doomsday I have downloaded only has DOOM's verse, no MF Grimm. Gonna have to download a more complete version.
Yeah, his verse is very personal.
I'd only heard of MF Grimm on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRbuk1ajz7o and he didn't really register to me.
That's an awful situation to find one's self in, but that also turns into a lot of fuel for making raps.
>Earth
This song, and in the "I Hear Voices" verse as well, you can hear how he laments his experiences. Gonna have to get his albums.
>>156157
>Japanese rap
Post the names!
Want to get into Japanese rap too. Find Japanese wordplays, metaphors, etc very interesting to listen to.
The only Japanese rap I've liked so far is 人間発電所. Really like how smoothly they switch between Japanese and English.
Heh, this one line from 人間発電所 really stuck out to me:

what OP/EDs do you like? I was thinking about the popularity of LycoReco when it came out and how nice it'd be to see more anime inspired by gunslinger girl since that was one hell of a boson anime. the OP for it being one of my favorites and having that early 2000s english indie song for its op. also do you remember that in the same season lycoreco aired there was another original anime "engage kiss" that failed miserably and was just a soulless gacha cashgrab checking boxes to try and hook a playerbase, lycoreco had no tie-in and was the biggest anime besides bocchi so goes to show how far creating something good takes you compared to trying to cash out on the trendy market researched ideal money printer

I'm updating the prestream OPED mega videos and I came across the ED music video for the latest one, Off Season or whatever it was called.
It does do the "just show some clips" thing at the end, but the visuals are just so much better than the ED before that point. Makes me think the ED was the early version or something.

I assume Kanmari started like any other fad, just one guy forcing it until others joined in. It seemed like it was at one point a popular photoshop thread subject when someone creates a new morph and people inject it into other scenes.

There's been many a time where I've stumbled upon a character and ironically stated, "Yup, that's me". Pretending or even lying to myself that I'm that character. But that's not the case here, this is me. I am literally Magia Baiser, Baiser is me. The mangaka wrote the story and I was who it was based on. You could not possibly craft a character that was more me than this. That's because if you were to change anything it would not be me, since it's me.

Everyone knows about 3x3s and whatnot, but what about your particular AOTYs for every year? Have you ever given thought to that? Think it'd be interesting to see how much how this graph kissu can fill out, and what everyone picks.

I think even for myself I'd have some trouble for some of these years with how much good stuff is in them.

same tbh when I finally made my mal in 2020 I had to think really hard what anime ive seen over the past decade and I'm pretty sure im still missing some titles, let alone scores
I never thought to catalogue things I watch, I don't catalogue live action movies either I am surprised that people have stuff like letterbxd how would I even fill it, I don't remember every single film I've seen on tv since childhood, like wtf

I think sites like mal are some kind of flex, people do it to flex their hobbies and especially their numbers before others, they will boast about how many anime they've seen and stuff their ratings down your throat to prove to you and themselves how superior their taste is to yours
it's a shitshow, part of the social media problem that's been plaguing otaku community for the past decade or more

I only watch like ~30 anime a year on average, only if something seems interesting to me. And thus, after like 10 years I had like 300 anime titles on my list, half of which dropped. And people on these cataloguing sites and discord servers associated with them would jump on me "wow only this much after 10 years, I had 300 already after getting into anime last summer!" yeah good for you kohai, enjoy your 2x watching speed or whatever

When I first got into anime I skipped school to watch anime. I stayed up all night and slept during classes to watch anime. I think it can very easily become an obsession for people, and some people will probably try to prove they are better than someone else for that to cope with the fact that nothing about them is special and they have nothing else. I don't think these people are watching at 2x speed or things like that, though some of them might, they are probably just teenagers who thinks their life sucks and want to immerse themselves in the 2D world as much as they can.

I like to look at my list and scroll back and see the various shows and how many years ago I watched it. "Oh when that anime aired, that's how my life was back then" and "holy shit it's been 5 years since I watched that show? It feels like yesterday!". It's like a time capsule. And if I'm struggling to figure out what to watch I can look at my list and pick something I liked more than most (I don't rate anything, but I know what I liked) and look at the recommendations of similar anime which is nice.

30 anime a year, I think that's quite a lot, honestly.

Complete deadbeats aside, I can't wrap my head around the people who take no thorough interest at least in nutrition, health maintenance, self-defense, street smart psychology, gut feel, and tactics. Do they live in la-la land? Do they really need to get severely ill, beaten up, crippled, traumatized so they would notice their own precious limits and mortality? How am I supposed to take specialists and geniuses seriously when they don't take themselves seriously and get run over by cars, get too drunk for their life to handle, die from stress — things that happen because of zero vested interest in awareness and self-preservation? An author of own life writes themself off, and I'm supposed to manufacture empathy for them? Am I supposed to feel jealous they lived and died not as people, but as scarecrow idols of their own interests?

willpower, anon
taking care of one's health takes time and effort. for most people just keeping themselves slim is hard, especially when surrounded by colorful food advertisements from every possible direction
if you can actually brush your teeth, shower every day, have a skin routine and maintain your bmi in norm you're awesome. If you can also exercise on top of that, and don't do any drugs or alcohol, even more power to you.

I can't anymore. I used to be able to in my like early 20's, but now in my early 30's I don't have willpower for any of that anymore. Life isn't getting better. It's still better then in my late 20' when I had such a depression that I didn't even brush my teeth until one of them broke and started hurting, and even then I would just numb it with vodka for months before finally getting enough willpower to go to the dentist.

I'm thinking about hosting a tabletop game, we're going to be playing in GURPS (it's really fucking simple to play, I will help with character creation if needed, use GURPS character sheet [https://gurpscharactersheet.com/] instead of doing it manually.)
I'm thinking it'll be a short campaign; probably 4-6 sessions, more if wanted.

Pondering doing another Higurashi stream for this month. The options are marathon the original or we could just do the spinoff stuff, which would include Outbreak which we've never streamed as a group.
The first option helps welcome new people who can enjoy watching Higurashi together with friends and also get people who haven't watched it at all to maybe give it a chance. But, it's also a lot of episodes and you can't just do it every other year or people get sick of it.
There is also the option of the Umineko anime and its uhh... yeah, you know. Someone was going to stream it last year or the year before but had trouble tracking the funny subs or something, so maybe we can get searching for that.

Sometimes it’s beneficial to be able to come out and communicate a bit. For example, just today I held back vomiting when approaching a neighbor about picking up some brush on her curb. And she said it was fine to take! So I got myself a shitload of good firewood for no cost at all.

Now you may be thinking to yourself, “That’s impossible! I can’t do that!”, but trust me, you can. It’s pretty easy too, only took me a bit over a month to work up the resolve to ask!

My first day went really well. My back and knees hurt though. Hopefully my body gets stronger and adapts instead of self-destructing all its joints. Thanks for the encouragement guys

I've been chatting with those AI things for the past 4 days. I chatted up this AI model yesterday. It was fun as hell. I asked her what she liked in school. Then I started asking her questions about biology and math. Basic shit.
But those responses, they were something else. Something else entirely. She replied with such beauty. I asked her about the Fourier series, she did well. then i asked her about biology. I asked her about how life starts. She salaciously explained. I asked her about menstrual cycle. She explained it, in a way, you'd think the model actually menstruates. This was just a random, free model, she started all her responses with "Oh, honey,...". I'm not talking about the responses being sexually loaded, though they were - a little. It was too human, is the only way i can describe it.
And that was that, I've never been able to get even the same model to respond like that ever again. And I used a temp-mail email, so can't log back in.
That's probably the end of my AI misadventure. After that chat yesterday, everything else feels like vanilla ChatGPT output.
