sleepy biden is doing one last round of open borders before his term ends

>>373086
No, I guess Quote just stopped being as obsessed with us.

>>373089
…that's that then
the culture seems incredibly stagnant on either end so that might have something to do with it
much like an old man who asks to be left alone during his latter days–not that I initially meant it this way but it's one way to see it

new dimensions instead of habitual humdrum is why all this was interesting in the first place, in my view
like lateral development instead of just vertical

>>373091
holden pepe very much related btw

>like lateral development instead of just vertical
to word it yet another way
"more of the same"

this kind of thing might be hard to notice if you don't ever go for a while, I'm sure you know that
it's like all the assumptions you had slowly melt away on their own without you noticing
then when you return you easily notice things which before were at best hard pills to swallow or really completely invisible to your judgement

not that I want to make a show of the coming and going, this is just to illustrate how I've found that dynamic works in my personal favor

I also don't mind not being read I'm primarily collecting my own thoughts while the freshness lasts
once it runs out I know the situation has a high chance of becoming a neurotic party again and I do not have the energy to commit to that any more

>>373100
You're certainly an enigmatic and thought-provoking character, I'll give you that. I agree that things have become quite stagnant over the past few months. But when external factors push you into this state, what can you really do? It's better to take things slowly rather than stress yourself out trying to force a change.

>>373126
It's likely that us getting botted caused us to get less new traffic which in turn keeps that development I mentioned from spurring, not enough entropy if that makes sense
I don't necessarily declare this as a lost project, however there is in my humble opinion some real healing to be done if we do want that elusive magic from our earlier days to not be so elusive

among the more salient things I think we have become far too self-centered. That has many consequences, but one is that it keeps us from self-examining in a productive manner–as I already mentioned, if I had stuck around constantly lurking instead of letting tension naturally fade out by moving my mind away I couldn't have thought of this now. And this is natural with anything in life, obviously. But what I mean to say is there is a certain avoidancy, we love to escape our own scrutiny even unconsciously, even if we like to think we can't. Like the hyper alertness of shit hitting the fan if you "slip up" or "having a wrong take" or "looking cringy" keeps you from going too far into thinking things you do fear. That's adolescent thinking and it greatly stifles progress.
Yeah a lot of what I say comes from my own past reactions and behaviors to all that happened, but I feel like there is at least some of this lingrring in the general sentiment especially among the administration.

holy meta coal
can you atleast simplify your point into something more digestible

>>373144
For better or for worse, when a deservedly thorough unpacking is condensed, you lose the rationale behind it. It's not just about the destination, more importantly the journey

nobody cares
post more or gtfo

>>373146
I mean that is the exact point of "unfolding the origami" of a sentiment you may have, exploring it and putting into words, imagine as if you're unfolding it in a way that you'd be able to put it back together with a new sheet of paper.

>>373148
You 'can' "just post", however I am suggesting here to take a step back and observe the general movements of our site culture and in what ways we have carried it forward, I find this interesting not just at a site level but to learn to understand how culture shifts and evolves and when it doesn't and why/how.

>>373145
I genuinely thought this nigga was spouting random babble until poly replied to him

>>373144
the guy probably meant this:
>going away and then coming back, you start looking at things differently
>this place was fun because there wasn't just more of the same, but more of new, different things
>now nothing ever happens
>something something self-reflection

>>373153
I find that kind of wording to be really murky and does not offer a way to examine or evolve from the sentiment it evokes.

>>373154
This basically encapsulates it, I know I'm too long winded, I was trying to capture the "how", giving imagery, etc behind every point there. In that sense I did not really essay-structure this and I guessed assumed people would understand the "heading" of what I was saying.
But now that that's clear I'm really curious to see if anyone concurs on our current state of "more of the same"–I tried to elaborate on why I think that but most importantly I want to know how that resonates with others at this point.

>>373159
this is probably most felt by the drawfag because i'm self-centered. but drawing the same characters over and over again becomes boring. what is the point of oc if it stops being original. it's hard to make some new character that will catch on, either nobody has made a good attempt yet, or people aren't willing to develop something new/see potential in it

Frootcord won. Just admit it.

>>373170
More so than a new character, it's like… a new wider dynamic. I suppose best exemplified in "posting styles". There's a point habit takes the best of us, seeming like whatever we have going is good enough, and simply doing more of it. Again, this isn't necessarily bad. But we historically had a lot of shifts and contrasts and that sort of thing. Oh, and much expectation, sometimes grand, which as an ideal can expand your thinking and becoming.
In other words when you have less of "process of becoming" and more of "the old holy-cow 'trad' statue that gets polished every once in a while" that's stagnation.

>>373176
And this whole debacle trascends any political tension of that kind, I think. That being said certainly for better or for worse sharty embraced "becoming". Obviously to the other extreme. But maybe we lie at the other extreme. and we lost sight of a potential middle

shemmite autopsy when will this site foreseeably end

>>373201
Are you saying I wrote an obituary? Or are you asking for a prognosis?
In the latter case I don't know a timeframe but if things continue the way they are then burnout is sure to slowly eat at everyone.

>>373086
i didn't notice there was a new captcha attempt until now
the timer is useless because it's completely client side, i'm not using a webdriver so on my end there was no difference between this captcha and the last

if you got the idea for the timer from the mcknight script, it's useless there too
i already cracked that script when it was tried earlier this year

>>373208
why can't you just leave us alone
you're raping a dead nigger corpse at this point

>>373208
Good work, I wonder if 4chan timers introduce any reasonable defense for them
>>373211
That's a whole lotta self deprecation.

>>373214
4cuck timers are enforced server side

>>373216
They are, I wonder how greater the challenge becomes because of it, I mean can't spammers just load a bunch of those wait-tokens and spam in burst once they're all ready to go?
