I want to nakadashi *girl* has become a popular phrase on imageboards (mostly 4chan). But it's a mix of Japanese and English. If I was going to say "I want to cum inside Holo" fully in Japanese, how would I go about doing that? In the English sentence, nakadashi is a loan word and it is the action being done, but in Japanese I don't think 中出し is a verb. Can it be verbified by adding する to it? And then you conjugate it to say you "want" to do it. So the end result would be 私はホロで中出ししたい which would translate to I want to cum inside Holo. Am I correct?

Japanese is fun to learn.

Do you have any experience gardening?
I decided that I'm going to attempt gardening this year. My dad grew up on a farm and we had crops in the backyard when I was a kid. I still have the old tilling machine that's in good shape and some other rusty tools, but I don't have a hammer to mine silver from nearby rocks so I won't be able to upgrade the stuff.
I think it's too late for my geographic location to start growing early Spring stuff from seeds, so I need to buy some that are already a few weeks old from a local nursery, or maybe online? This stuff sounds kind of fun as long as your expectations are reasonable.

Now that the cold period in later May in my region called the "Ice Saints" have passed and "Cold Sophie"-chan has moved her cold butt out of the region, the gardening season has really started for me.

Only a third of the bean-seedlings managed to germinate during May, probably because of the sudden dip in temperature and lack of sunlight.
The second batch of Zundamons germinated quickly and almost complete. Their older siblings have already begun climbing the pole.
And since yesterday, the first marigolds are blooming.

>motivated me to try growing potatoes this year and their growth has exploded in the last couple of days.

Nice! Yeah, I've never seen anything grow as fast as potatoes. I think I said it already, but it must be the energy reserves inside the potato slips. Peas grow comparatively fast as well and they're thick little orbs full of energy. I basically have a potato forest out there. I wish I could see what they were doing underground, but alas it must remain a mystery until harvest. Every single piece did sprout into something, too, even the ones without an eye I could identity. (I put the extra in a crowded pot to see). I've had mixed luck with beans as well, but they were certainly a lot easier than peas.

I thought about growing tomatoes again but decided to take a break from them. Both previous years the high end tore the support structures and they became closer to the ground vine plants nature intended and it was a major headache.

Stupid brain. Also here's the forest of yellow onions. Had to put some new dirt down because some VERY heavy rain came around and removed the top layer. I was originally planning to harvest the middle row for "spring onions" but I think I'm going to keep them going and just have a LOT of yellow onions at some point.

Apparently I forgot to take a picture of blackberries for the thread.
The blackberries STILL aren't ready yet. I had no idea they took so long to ripen. The flowers started forming around 50 days ago. The flowers started the process of turning into berries about 40 days ago. They start off as little green things, then they grow into larger pale green things. Then larger and brown. Then they turn red. Then they turn black.
I really like how blackberry vines and leaves look. Even if they didn't make berries I think I'd want to keep them around. They seem so healthy and full of life that it just makes me smile. I planted them off in a corner and I kind of regret that since I can't look at them easily.

It's nice to see someone else liking this artist, and his views going up. I found him a couple of years ago and purchased his first few releases on Bandcamp but haven't kept up since then.

As someone passing by who just wanted to bump the thread for being inebriated, forgive me for potentially speaking out of turn. I'm somewhat sensitive to the issue of even a slight hint of substance abuse given I've been through it. My main question is that, are you at least genuinely having fun right now? Unfortunately things aren't that simple and I'm not fully equipped to give you a miracle answer but I hope you can look back at yourself now and at least have the consolation that you were enjoying yourself. I personally had a lot of things and opportunities slip due to my shortcomings and I regret that but I can't deny that at least I had fun so there's no use in beating myself up over it. Basically, strive to be a person that your future self can deal with. You got this. Maybe not right now but don't make it harder on yourself when you do.

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.

theoretically there is a person out there who has in all essence the same mind as I do, in spite of potentially differing personal and world histories
not sure if I believe in souls but if a person thinks so much like I do, even if his (or her) experiences, memories, knowledge, etc is different, that he (or she) would, if we switched bodies, act exactly as I would in all circumstances, is it valid to say that this person is "me"?

>who has in all essence the same mind as I do
What do you mean by 'essence'? Because this is one of those vague terms used in philosophy that seemingly everyone agrees what they mean until they try to explain.
Yet, despite the above, I would say no, because 'you' is not merely an internal, mental state, but also a being exerting external influence on the world, with a history. The person you say about is merely thinking the way you do, but the different circumstances causing different actions and different history allows you two to be differentiated by some external, omniscient entity without need for metaphysical 'soul'. The exchange of bodies might go unnoticed by more standard observers, though.

That's not something I pay a lot of attention too, but I had dreams before where I was aware that "something's wrong" or that I'm straight out dreaming, and tried desperately to wake up but couldn't even move(it felt like sleep paralysis), sometimes breaking the dream successfully tho.

I don't want to control my dreams tbh, I want to observe them and sometimes continue them after waking up. Sometimes I manage to continue the dream if I fall asleep immediately later, or sometimes even days or months later: for example, if I have evangelion themed dream set in the city of london, I may have another evangelion themed dream in the same city, except this time it will be ruined, or steampunk style, or perhaps a lot of time have passed even though the core dream location is undeniably the same. Revisiting locations and re-meeting characters in such a way is one of the constants I was aware of even before I started writing my dreams down 5 years ago, and my subsequent notes confirmed that.

Dreamt I went to Japan on a tour group but it was flooded and we had to go around by shoddy boat and falling into the lake I nearly got bitten by komodo dragons that were in it. Then I got to the hotel and it had a creepy atmosphere with a bloody hooded manager who guided me to the room I was staying in but there wasn't much in the way of actually closing the door and even if I could he had the keys and while I was trying to sleep he'd come into the room checking on everyone with a large machete in his hands it was stressful.

Another wild dream with lore from previous dreams or made up on the spot for that dream.
I don't remember everything properly, but here's what I do remember:
¥Being on a trip somewhere with the whole father side extended family.
¥Remembering that the trip had happened before, as well as everything that was happening/was going to happen in the trip.
¥Being in the elevator with a cousin and noticing he was shorter than before, thinking of mentioning it, but remembering something about him being amputated and not mentioning it.
¥"vermin" (don't know how he looks so didn't see a person, just someone who I knew to be vermin) verbally assaulting me while displaying he knows who I am, and knows which posts are mine...
The lore was that our whole family was getting hunted down by another family, but not blatantly, discretely. They'd fuck with the elevator, release poison bugs inside our house, send a girl from their family to seduce and drug a male from our family, etc.
Another fun dream.
