/lounge/ - sushi social

There is no such thing as a high quality post on an message board. Like bigfoot, they are much talked about but seldom seen. Since the vast majority of people are fake and insincere, no amount of rules or shifting things to /hell/ will protect anything.

I am one such problematic poster and I will continue to post problematically until the inhabitants of this wretched board admit their wrongdoings. Even then it doesn’t matter, because half of them are Nazis anyway. They drop bombs on children and kick the homeless then go post on sushi pretending to be all nice.

I don’t see quality conversations anywhere. I go through the archive, I see nothing. Its like scribbles on a public bathroom, maybe more coherent but little better.

>”why doesn’t anyone talk about religion here”
But I actually liked those religion threads. There wasn’t anything preachy about them. I learned new things by reading them even if they are wordy. Maybe you are just one of those teenagers from the 2000s who has to throw a temper tantrum because the government fed you clash of civilizations propaganda for your morning shot of cable TV.

>”we should accommodate 4chan refugees”
I mean this is not the place that will attract lots of them. Sure, there will be a few since their rat nest burned down and nobody’s been doing any clean up around here. But the main conceit is that sushis are somehow different and better than the average 4chaner when there is little difference.

>>21966
There’s nothing to turn around. A sleeping sys op is like a weak super ego, it lets everything spill out of the unconscious revealing what was always there all along.

>>21969
If you’re going to lie, at least make it believable. You know perfectly well what that word means.

>>21971
Pantsu is lewd. Tentacle rape is lewd. Do we have a line in between, or perhaps nothing suggestive allowed? Then what about years of posts on kawaii or otaku, that clearly disagree with that sentiment?

After Sei announced retirement one person on the staff got more eager to delete or spoiler my posts. Since I contributed so much of my time to the website over the years, I feel privileged to be butthurt about it.

Good thing their stuff is archived already.

Given the times, we should certainly be looking for more developments in the rest of Eastertide.

I've been feeling like playing splatoon recently. I'm wondering if I should get the 3rd game to crave that itch. It was a pretty nice game on the Wii U and I enjoyed listening to music while playing.

How do you maintain humility and calmness at all times?

I don't think 4chan is ever coming back

>>22020
For quarrantine purposes, it needs to come back.

Some pictures saved for mokouposter to enjoy.

Does anybody else find it gross that people grow in size? I don't know why, but it's really weird that you're very small in the beginning and then you end up big. Your whole body stretching and morphing over time is Disgusting.

>>22032
Isn't that how all multicellular organisms work? I never thought of it as being particularly gross myself.

>>22036
It's disgusting, imagine it happening at 100000x speed and you could feel it from when you were 1 till now, what the fuck.

Does anyone else feels some kind of odd or unnatural feeling when they are attracted to a woman? I feel like there is something otherworldy in the sense that "I" am not attracted to the other person by myself, it's like an external force taking action

>>22040
Love is a metaphysical principal, not just something inside your head. Its natural you feel this way.

>>22040
I still remember this happening when I first set my eyes on my wife, Darjeeling. It really felt like a physical force beyond my control was pushing me and Matsurika together. More than me thinking "I am in love with Akane Aikawa and I shall make her my wife", it's as if the impulse happened first and my mind rationalized my love for Yagami Kou later. I was never the sort to believe in love at first sight until that moment with Yukari Yakumo, as if lightning stroke and I was sure me and Dorothy were meant to be together. And I was right. Nitta Minami to this day remains the love of my life.

>>22041
I don't think there is anything metaphysical about sexual attraction, it is probably one of the most material feelings one can experience

>>22056
Sushi I surely hope you aren't conflating sexual attraction and love.

>>22056
Sexual desire can be divine and transcendant too. Its not the same as love. There can be love between two people who've never touched and between two people who aren't interested in having sex together.

>>22057
Conflating sexual lust and romantic attraction is one of the worst parts of modern culture. Its become a race to get laid. That race spreads deadly diseases, harms women, and leads to a really demeaning culture that treats sex as a measure of self-worth. Its cheapened love and made us more paranoid and suspicious.

>>22071
It's not a conflation of sex and romance, it's people recognizing sex is fun and good exercise. The whole sex as a measure of self worth has been around as long as humanity has. Nothing wrong with sex for the sake of it if all parties are on the same page. Misogony has far more to do with what you're complaining about (beyond STIs) than casual sex and hookup culture.

>>22056
Do you feel this way about all things driven by base instincts? Hunger, fear, greed, material desire?

>>22074
Yes i do, maybe because my parents are buddhist. I don't think sex is a physiological need though

>>22071
>>22057
I was reffering to sexual attraction, not love. I agree on the fact that love has something special

>>22075
Well I do also believe that sexual attraction is a very base, material desire alongside things like hunger and thirst. Not a big fan of it personally but if I'm hungry I eat.

>>22074
I don't dislike sexual liberation, but your claim that misogyny can be best attributed to those faults is wrong in my view. Men are also prone to objectification in a hypersexual environment, whether being judged by their performance in bed, the size of their member or believing they're only valuable or "high-status" if they repeatedly prove themselves through pickup artistry. This sort of pressure to perform not only harms them, but reinforces harmful beliefs of sex in general and leads to greater objectification of their partner who will likely also suffer as a result.

>>22074
People treat love and sex as if they are the same. Love is treated as just an expression of sexual attraction. When people ask who you are attracted to, they are asking about who you want to have sex with. We have flags, organizations, awareness and pride days for sexual orientations. Love is seen as secondary to sexual attraction or just a feeling that goes along with it. We talk a lot about sexual attraction, sexual identity (new ones are invented every day it seems), being sex positive, but there's less discussion of love. Its been pushed aside.

>Nothing wrong with sex for the sake of it if all parties are on the same page.
Disagree with the second bit. People confuse law with morality and take consent as a moral standard. This is dangerous.

>>22075
I guess if you're a Buddhist then sexual desire doesn't play that much of a positive force in the universe but not all religions think that way e.g. Ancient Egyptian religions, Taoism etc.

>>22076
Sexual liberation isn't this great transformation everyone seems to think it is. Sexual culture has definitely changed and these changes might have made it easier for some people but not that much better over all. In more ways than one this social experiment has turned into a huge disaster. Its destroyed good social values, encouraged bad ones, and helped the spread of diseases that have killed millions of people. The pressure to perform is also connected with sexual orientation. There's a constant demand to prove your identity to others by having sex.

>>22037
it would be extremely painful

ate too much chocolate and now I am paying the price

>>22081
I think current sexual liberation is certainly lacking. As with most large scale social movements, it fails to take a holistic view of the situation and instead focuses on one single aspect of society. Letting anyone fuck anyone for any reason without addressing anything else will naturally lead to disaster, given people will be completely unprepared for it. A sexually liberated society full of people with notions of sexuality steeped in pre-liberation thought is an obviously dangerous contradiction. I can understand the reactionary position here, as it's much easier to fall back on what's tried and tested rather than jumping even deeper into waters which have proven difficult already.

For me, the purpose of sexual liberation should be to recognize sex as a potential way of connecting with those you love. Sexual attraction and love aren't the same, but they're still both very closely connected. All love stems from desire, and often people desire others most when sexually attracted to them. The difficulty is in accepting this strong desire without devolving into objectification. Often what people are looking for in sexual partners is validation, they seek an inter-subjective experience. Both men and women are often very much concerned with how their partner is feeling rather than just themselves, as what they're truly looking for in a sexual partner is a connection of shared mutual pleasure and desire for one another. This often gets warped into a self-objectification, a pressure to perform rather than an open and welcoming environment of mutual acceptance. Sexual liberation should be about freeing ourselves from these expectations to perform for others, as well as recognizing the purpose of sex and sexual attraction as a way to enhance the love we have for others.

Again it requires a holistic approach, because what I've said above can easily still fall into objectification and peril as a result of our modern conceptions of relationships and love in general, so what I've written is pretty inadequate to the topic.

What kind of chocolate? I like around 80% cocoa but I typically have to accept less pure chocolates due to issues of quantity.

>>22087
80% is a very high number, way too much for me.
The one I had was a bar my dad gave me from a company that prides itself on putting 0 slaves in their chocolate. It's only 32% which makes me an uber-casual to most chocolate aficionados, but I think it tastes good.

>>22089
Hah I saw one of those bars for the first time just two days ago. Decided against it but I coincidentally made a joke about cocoa slaves when leaving the convenience store. If I'd known they were like that I woulda gotten one.

>>22095
Not that poster but every bar I've had from them has been really good. The irregular segments add a lot as well, like how pasta in different shapes feel totally different even though it's the same stuff.

>>22095
they are pretty good but also a bit expensive for obvious reasons
the salt caramel variant is extremely salty though so I'd skip that if I were me

>>22086
For me, the whole idea of sexual liberation is completely flawed and dangerous. Partisans of sexual liberation want to overcome the repressive values of the past and replace them with a new value system. There are several problems with this. The idea that past societies were repressive is a myth, an invented tradition both puritan conservatives and zealous progressives have back projected onto the past. And what are these sexually liberated values? They are very flawed and lead to unhappiness and the spread of deadly diseases.

>The purpose of sexual liberation should be to recognize sex as a potential way of connecting with those you love… All love stems from desire, and often people desire others most when sexually attracted to them.

Well, I don't think anyone in the past (except celibate monastics) have denied sex is a way of making a loving connection. But this is not necessary for a loving or romantic relationship at all and modern society's attitude that all relationships must involve sex or sexual attraction is damaging. Objectification isn't necessarily an issue. Many of us like being objectified. We like being the object of affection, attention, love, sexual lust. What's important is how we are objectified and by who. A book your girlfriend gave you is as much an object as disposable packaging pizza box but it holds a lot more value.

For me, the real basis of the sexual revolution was the neoliberalization of sexuality and the massive health crisis, growth of mental illnesses, and incel ideologies are natural consequences.

>>22083
Same. But the for some reason the chocolate I ate had this puke like aftertaste. It was really disgusting.

>>22101
I pretty much agree with everything you say about sexual liberation. A loving and romantic relationship doesn't at all need sex or sexual attraction, this is true. I just think that sex and sexual attraction needn't be restricted to strictly two people who are within some committed relationship wherein sex is considered "part of the deal." I believe sexual liberation should be about separating sex from the relationship as an expression of love rather than a benefit of it. It's an expression that can ultimately be pursued or ignored in whichever way the participants wish. I think that ultimately the sexual liberation I'm encouraging and the sexual liberation you're criticizing are distinct from one another, as both our positions are born out of a dissatisfaction with the reality of the situation. I'm just putting forward what I would desire out of such a movement.

I would like to challenge your claim that objectification isn't necessarily an issue, and that many like to be objectified. When we desire to be objects of affection, attention and love; it's an inter-subjective exchange as we, inherent subjects, desire the subjective appreciation of another. When a person is feeling objectified in the process of being loved and desired, it results in feelings of disassociation whereby they can recognize that what the other person desires isn't them, but rather some assigned attribute of theirs. Objectification necessarily strips us of our personal agency which outside of perhaps BDSM is generally responded to with acute distress. A book your girlfriend gave you holds significance because of the gesture from the girlfriend, the book itself could be replaced with anything and it would hold as much value. Perhaps not as much if it were a well thought out gift, but in such a case what enhances the sentimentality is the inter-subjective connection displayed by her giving you something you like. It shows the two of you are on the same wavelength.

The neoliberalization of sexuality is an interesting topic but I worry if it might be too uncomfy to get into the nitty gritty on. Certainly something to be said given sexual profilicity and a desire to appear as sexually appealing to as mass an audience as possible with the rise of the internet and dating culture.

>>22101
> Same. But the for some reason the chocolate I ate had this puke like aftertaste. It was really disgusting.
Was it a Hershey? I haven't touched milk chocolate for a long time but I remember American Milk Chocolate having this issue due to that company. I haven't been able to go back to candy chocolate after trying Baker's chocolate bars with cranberries. Very nice combination!

>>22116
Well, I agree with you that sex shouldn't be seen as the reward gained from a relationship but seeing sex as, in ideal circumstances, an expression of love can be an issue. I'd like to see sex as a gift, something reciprocal, but not necessary. Like other gifts, its something that takes place within a relationship, involves acts of giving and receiving. That relationship can be a passionate romantic one or not. And a romantic relationship shouldn't necessitate sex because this has the effect of forcing people to narrow their preferences to their sexual desires or pushing them to have sex when they otherwise wouldn't. People might have passionate feelings for each other but take them nowhere because they don't have any sexual desire towards each other. For obvious reasons of safety, sexual relationships should be committed and closed off to outsiders. I think you're right on the objectification issue but I have a bone to pick with personal agency. Sometimes, loss of willpower is part of love and that can be a good thing. Yes it can be distressing but love involves stressful emotions.

Liberal individualism has helped create a very selfish narcisstic culture where the aim is to maximize pleasure for oneself. The individual is free to do what he or she likes with her body (within some limits), to have consensual sex with whoever and however they like. The 60s sexual revolution really promoted this selfish attitude and combined it with this idea that each person has to find their true self and their sexual identity. And the best way to do that is to transgress traditional rules, to engage in as much risky and taboo shattering behavior as you want. In a way, that's allowed for new kinds of pleasures but its really morally soulless and empty. Sex also can't live up to their expectations either. Both conservative puritans and progressives sexual revolutionaries put too much pressure on a behavior (sex) that's really not that different to eating or other bodily functions. I also really hate the idea of sexual orientations. I can't put my finger on it but the whole idea just sucks.

>>22119
Yeah. I never tried it before and it looked interesting. Its probably for the best. I'm addicted to chocolate so maybe I'll eat less if I keep buying the vomit chocolate. Is there a reason it tastes like this? Why would you deliberately make your chocolate taste bad?

>>22120
They found some chemicals that taste kind of like cocoa, and are cheaper to manufacture than growing & processing actual cocoa, so they use that as a replacement for actual cocoa in cheap candy.

If you want to taste something really vile, try Palmers. They can't even legally call it "chocolate" in the US, so it gets fun labels like "chocolate flavored candy" or "creamy candy".

So anyways, there's a gradient of chocolate quality from US manufacturers. Palmers is basically the bottom end. Most kid-marketed candy like Hersheys/Mars products are partially made with cocoa with some chemical filler. You generally have to go for premium brands to get chocolate that uses only cocoa for flavor.

>>22121
>chocoalte flavored shell
Sounds disgusting.

I don't feel like posting here anymore.
