With that in mind I'm going to copy/paste something I wrote in an email a few months ago. I'd love to hear your opinions. I'd like to work together with some like minded people to make this a reality. It's a long email so I'll need to break this over multiple posts are usual.

The <TBA> Media Club Proposal. Requesting input from all possible
founding members. Please share with your friends that you think would
make good founding members!
Goal of this project is to replicate the feeling of the early comfy
anime/manga college clubs I participated in while living in America in
the 90s. Along with very early digisub community that spawned on IRC
in the late 90s-early 2000s before it went "mainstream".
In addition the goal is to merge the English speaking
and Japanese speaking otaku communities. Which I feel
is more possible now than in the past due to good on-the-fly translation software and so many people eager
to learn Japanese or English as a second language. As such all parts of the website will be bi-lingual.

I know I've mentioned this a few places tonight so I wanted to post a thread to gauge interest and get some opinions on the matter. I don't mean to be all doom and gloom here I'm trying to be proactive. I've discussed this with some people through e-mail already but not I'm seeking other opinions as I value anon's input in all matters.With that in mind I'm going to copy/paste something I wrote in an email a few months ago.

Have you heard of ¨The world of Golden Eggs¨? A Japanese artist I follow jokingly said it was a kami anime and his source of inspiration.
I'm not sure how popular it is around imageboards but I've never heard of it until now. It's surprising how it isn't considering the DVDs themselves had English subs according to wikipedia. Looks like it's ad-libbed too.
I only watched one iconic episode he mentioned, it did get a laugh from me near the end with all that build up.
The character designs don't give the best first impression but I think they are harmless after watching it and seeing how the artist interacts with foreigners sometimes.

In this thread I post updates about fansub projects I'm working on and beg for free labor.
We started working on MahoAko yesterday. We thought the Chihiro TL would be good enough to use but we're going to end up making a lot of modifications and removing most of the styling they used (karaoke is awful). They did make some impressive signs. The 2nd episode's .ass file is 44.5MB.
Transformation scenes in episode 1 have bloated up file size to 900MB-1.4GB. We may attempt to make it smaller but right now we're more concerned with timing and the translation.
Will post public QC version soon if anyone wants to help. x265+Opus as usual. Anything beyond that can be done by request (like FLAC). Last time I asked no one spoke up so I've not been doing lossless audio or x264 releases anymore.
We had to slightly bump up requirements for play back devices to 4.1 high profile because transformation scenes kept running up against bitrate buffer. Will probably use that profile going forward. Since it gives us a little more head room and most modern devices support it just fine.
If anything bothers you about existing TLs of anime speak up now or forever hold your peace. We'll be back to working on older stuff soon™. Thanks to whomever provided some good raws for older stuff like BPS I haven't forgotten you. Just been busy.
Encoding notes: The JPBD for MahoAko is really bad. Horrible upscale by studio. Lots of banding. Did what I could to fix it. Can't descale to native resolution because it's a hodgepodge of different resolutions even within the same scene. Went with mild AA+minimal line darkening instead. That's it.

Masochism is more widespread than we realize because it takes an attenuated form. The basic dynamism is as follows: a human being sees something bad which is coming as inevitable. There is no way he can halt the process; he is helpless. This sense of helplessness generates a need to gain some control over the impending pain -- any kind of control will do. This makes sense; the subjective feeling of helplessness is more painful than the impending misery. So the person seizes control over the situation in the only way open to him: he connives to bring on the impending misery; he hastens it. This activity on his part promotes the false impression that he enjoys pain. Not so. It is simply that he cannot any longer endure the helplessness or the supposed helplessness. But in the process of gaining control over the inevitable misery he becomes, automatically, anhedonic. Anhedonia sets in stealthily. Over the years it takes control of him. For example, he learns to defer gratification; this is a step in the dismal process of anhedonia. In learning to defer he gratification he experiences a sense of self-mastery; he has become stoic, disciplined; he does not give way to impulse. He has "control". Control over himself in terms of his impulses and control over the external situation. He is a controlled and controlling person. Pretty soon he has branched out and is controlling other people, as part of the situation. He becomes a manipulator. Of course, he is not consciously aware of this; all he intends to do is lessen his own sense of impotence. But in his task of lessening this sense, he insidiously overpowers the freedom of others. Yet, he derives no pleasure from this, no positive psychological gain; all his gains are essential negative.

They don't consent, so it's like rape. But if it's like light sex stuff, it shouldn't be any worse than them punching each other (which is also done without consent). But there was that one forced sex scene between Loco Musica and Anemo Nemo. I don't know what to think.

saw a lot of this being posted everywhere and even saw a bunch of antifans on /co/ thought to myself "huh guess this is a series that's really taking off" but i looked at the pilot and it's not even 2 weeks old and has 40M+ views holy shit it's moving through the popularity cycle at warp speed (good for the creators though for making something original people liked)

April 2003, A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy
https://web.archive.or
Phenomenal title, wouldn't you agree?
>Now, this story has been written many times. It's actually frustrating to see how many times it's been written. You'd hope that at some point that someone would write it down, and they often do, but what then doesn't happen is other people don't read it.
Shirky's speech draws from a book called Experiences in Groups by W. R. Bion. He starts off by comparing the internet to a group of neurotics that Bion was taking care of, which were "conspiring to defeat therapy," spontaneously and without obvious coordination. You see, dear >>19472, the topics of /r9k/, politics and youtubers are actually part of a basic group of topics that groups naturally drift towards. It's, I would say, a mixture of salacious talk and an attack on the outsider, two of the three topics Shirky brings up.
But you know what? Today I don't feel like writing an essay, I simply don't. So, I'm just gonna leave here some of its beautiful quotes (without green):
The first is sex talk, what he called, in his mid-century prose, "A group met for pairing off." And what that means is, the group conceives of its purpose as the hosting of flirtatious or salacious talk or emotions passing between pairs of members.
You go on IRC and you scan the channel list, and you say "Oh, I know what that group is about, because I see the channel label." And you go into the group, you will also almost invariably find that it's about sex talk as well. Not necessarily overt. But that is always in scope in human conversations, according to Bion. That is one basic pattern that groups can always devolve into, away from the sophisticated purpose and towards one of these basic purposes.
The third pattern Bion identified: Religious veneration. The nomination and worship of a religious icon or a set of religious tenets. The religious pattern is, essentially, we have nominated something that's beyond critique. You can see this pattern on the Internet any day you like. Go onto a Tolkien newsgroup or discussion forum, and try saying "You know, The Two Towers is a little dull. I mean loooong. We didn't need that much description about the forest, because it's pretty much the same forest all the way."
Try having that discussion. On the door of the group it will say: "This is for discussing the works of Tolkien." Go in and try and have that discussion.
Now, in some places people say "Yes, but it needed to, because it had to convey the sense of lassitude," or whatever. But in most places you'll simply be flamed to high heaven, because you're interfering with the religious text.
And then, as time sets in, difficulties emerge. In this case, one of the difficulties was occasioned by the fact that one of the institutions that got hold of some modems was a high school. And who, in 1978, was hanging out in the room with the computer and the modems in it, but the boys of that high school. And the boys weren't terribly interested in sophisticated adult conversation. They were interested in fart jokes. They were interested in salacious talk. They were interested in running amok and posting four-letter words and nyah-nyah-nyah, all over the bulletin board.
And the adults who had set up Communitree were horrified, and overrun by these students. The place that was founded on open access had too much open access, too much openness. They couldn't defend themselves against their own users. The place that was founded on free speech had too much freedom. They had no way of saying "No, that's not the kind of free speech we meant."
Geoff Cohen has a great observation about this. He said "The likelihood that any unmoderated group will eventually get into a flame-war about whether or not to have a moderator approaches one as time increases." As a group commits to its existence as a group, and begins to think that the group is good or important, the chance that they will begin to call for additional structure, in order to defend themselves from themselves, gets very, very high.
The web turned us all into size queens for six or eight years there. It was loosely coupled, it was stateless, it scaled like crazy, and everything became about How big can you get? "How many users does Yahoo have? How many customers does Amazon have? How many readers does MSNBC have?" And the answer could be "Really a lot!" But it could only be really a lot if you didn't require MSNBC to be answering those readers, and you didn't require those readers to be talking to one another.
The downside of going for size and scale above all else is that the dense, interconnected pattern that drives group conversation and collaboration isn't supportable at any large scale. Less is different -- small groups of people can engage in kinds of interaction that large groups can't. And so we blew past that interesting scale of small groups. Larger than a dozen, smaller than a few hundred, where people can actually have these conversational forms that can't be supported when you're talking about tens of thousands or millions of users, at least in a single group.

Do you think it's possible for a lifelong NEET to have a romantic relationship? How does one even find a partner with aligned interests?
I'm halfway to wizard age and I've been thinking about at least trying to turn things around for myself, but actually doing so seems incredibly difficult. I can financially support myself and fulfill boyfriendl-y duties, but I can't drive because of a disability. I'm not even sure how someone like me would find a partner.

I tried to tell you cars were the problem and that the lack of walkability in cities leads to worse health outcomes, but you didn't listen. Do you really think people would still be obese if they had lived somewhere where they could get in a healthy amount of walking or biking, or otherwise take public transportation to get where they need to go? I'm sure the fact that most Americans get in their 4000 lbs vehicle to go to their local Walmart that is 1 mile away, and work in a job that is completely sedentary, and then come home and live a sedentary life in from of their computer has absolutely no impact on anything~.
>The number of U.S. adults who died of heart disease and whose death record cited obesity as a contributing factor was three times greater in 2020 than in 1999, according to research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

I think the research thus far has been overly focused on subjects who have had surgical intervention to split the hemispheres of the brain, rather than subjects that have had no connections between the hemispheres from birth. To my knowledge, and very cursory searching, no similar studies have ever been attempted to be replicated in these persons. I'm personally inclined to believe that in absence of any direct connection between the hemispheres, the hemispheres are still able to communicate effectively, but at lower bandwidth through obscured pathways which might result in difficulties with more abstract perception. I'm personally acquainted with one person who has this condition and they're pretty normal, albeit with the caveats mentioned in the links below. The concept of "split consciousness" has always been questionable to me.

It is my opinion as a mod/demi-admin/whatever that the time has come for kissu to spend some time without the blog thread again. And yes, we've done it before, although I can't remember when.
There are multiple discussions that could have been new threads and multiple posts that would have been good additions to existing topical threads. I don't want to fight against people and spend each day moving a dozen posts into existing or new threads. Contrary what you may think, your new thought or opinion of something does deserve a new thread. Don't sell yourself short. You can even make a new thread on /jp/ with no comment at all if you want, or no file at all.
The blog thread persists so long as it is not actively detrimental to kissu's functionality as a site with multiple boards dependent on people creating new threads, and people seeing them and commenting in them. Once people start congregating into one thread the rest of the site starts to atrophy. The sooner action is taken to curb this behavior the less betrayed people will feel when it's gone. I already worry that people have become accustomed to creating non-blogs in it because they think it's better than making a thread.
So, at some point in the near future I think kissu will be spending some time without the board-within-a-board thing known as the blog general.
blog thread
I made a thread here a few months ago in which I said the blog thread was teetering on the precipice of my tolerance levels due to the harm it was doing to kissu. People were beginning to treat it as an all-purpose general thread as if this were one of those /a/ boards with one active thread at a time.Well, how have things gone since then?
