I finally got around to making that tumbr I've been debating making for a long time. I lost all my bookmarks of tumblrs I wanted to follow, so I'm working on that. I'm also debating if I should have separate tumblrs for my fanfictions and general purpose tumblr.

Jesus Christ so much of what serial killers do gets so incredibly edited down it worries me just how much 6 documentaries won't tell you.

I kinda fell down Deadbugs docs, his racist schtick is a little hard to handle but no one else in gonna tell you about deformed pedophile cannibals, shit eating torture killer futon salesmen or a serial killer who mutilates children into saw horses he has necrophiliac sex with.

Abnormal psychology is an important field of study that advances our society in many ways. By learning about harmful people and analysing their behaviour, we can learn to help or at least diagnose their mental disorders and reduce their immediate risk.

Also, not that guy but it sounds fascinating in a morbid way. Similarly to how I enjoy checking posts in the WAT thread or how I ask 4chan users about their fetishism.

I won't go into too much detail, but I will say this. After barely being paying bills for a few years now (because of reasons I will not explain), an uncle of mine has become rich. He will pay for me to move to a hueg farm he is planning on buying. He will also pay off my debts and give me a job to work there aswell. It's mind boggling to say the least.

The big snarl at the moment is not me moving, but my parents. And oh boy, do they have a tonne of garbage that needs to be thrown away. Not literal garbage, but they have storage units fill with stuff they haven't been able to go through for years. I will not move all of that shit, and I know I will be the one to help move it as I'm the last kid to not move far enough away. We are currently going through said storage slowly.

Suggest you move to the farm. Plan regular trips to assist in cleaning out locker. I did that as my parents aged, and finally passed away. I lived 1600 miles away.
Go at it intensely while you are there. If you find things parents want to ditch, if of value, you get first pick. Pics to siblings so they can state a desire to have an item. Make them come get it.

I don't post or browse regularly, but I do try to check the reports at least daily. The janitors have been (thankfully) shitcanning these as they come up, but because of how the board software is set up that means I can't get the IP to do bans.

The question is why anyone would want to be one of the "big guys?"

The answer is that those people want attention and really like having an identity, sometimes even if it's bad. Tripfags and namefags like to defend their attention whoring with glamorous statements like "taking ownership over what we post" or whatever, but that's complete bullshit to anyone who puts an amount of thought to it. In a sea of anonymous posters, where every post made must be able to carry it's own weight if it wants to be acknowledged, tripfags and namefags have an innate desire to make their opinions have more validity and be immediately recognizable. When you get down to it, it's vapid and shallow.

But honestly, who the fuck wants to be a big fish on a website that everyone but it's ten users has forgotten about? The names listed in that post aren't deserving of praise - being "popular" on this website is a goddamn mark of shame. If that's something anyone here strives for, they really need to sort themselves out and get their priorities in order.

Except Moe. He was cool. He was still a tripfag, though.

How did I not hear about this?

United Passions (2014)

>Sara Stewart of the New York Post described it as "hilariously ill-timed". The soccer website Goal.com said of United Passions: "The portrayal of FIFA is farcical from start to finish", and added: "Films believed to be among the worst of all time are watched by thousands of people eager to see just how bad they are. This piece of cinematic garbage belongs to that list." On Rotten Tomatoes, United Passions currently has a rating of 0%, based on 16 reviews, while on Metacritic, the film currently holds a score of 1 out of 100, based on 9 critics, and is on their list of the all-time lowest-scoring films.

>United Passions was also a box office bomb, becoming the lowest-grossing film of all time in American history (with $918), surpassing the previous record held by I Kissed a Vampire ($1,380) in 2012,

>the lowest-grossing film of all time in American history

That…may depend on how one determines how a film can hold that particular record If we are talking about the opening weekend gross, sure, United Passions takes the cake. But if we are talking about full-theatrical-run gross? That honor goes to a different film:

>Zyzzyx Road was shown once a day, at noon, for six days (February 25 – March 2, 2006) at Highland Park Village Theater in Dallas, Texas, a movie theater rented by the producers for $1,000. The limited release was deliberate: [producer and actor Leo] Grillo was uninterested in releasing the film domestically until it underwent foreign distribution, but needed to fulfill the U.S. release obligation required by the Screen Actors Guild for low-budget films (films with budgets less than $2.5 million that are not for the direct-to-video market).

>The strategy had the side effect of making the film at the time the lowest-grossing film of all time, earning just $30 at the box office from six patrons. Unofficially, its opening weekend netted $20. The $10 difference is due to Grillo personally refunding two tickets purchased by Sheila Moore, the film's makeup artist, who saw the film with a friend.

I just had an impacted wisdom tooth removed a few days ago and it seems to have gone super well.

Not all that much pain during the operation once I got enough local anesthetic stuck in, the sound of the drilling and then snapping as sections of the tooth were yanked off were easy to ignore. Discomfort and some blood for the rest of that day but after that I've been fine, no pain or swelling.
Jawbone feeling ever so slightly tender compared to the other side of my face if I actually touch it.

Was really worried about it since I've never actually had any sort of surgery before.

There really is an art to making something seem subtle but actually making it obvious.

Immediately available example is scene related. While never explicitly shown, it is implied she is crossing her fingers behind her back while making a promise. The action of hiding the hand is probably so big you can't miss it, but it is brief, is off on the side of the screen and the finger crossing is never directly shown so it almost seems as if you could blink and miss it, but it's actually clear as fuck if you are familiar with the gesture.

4chan is going down and that hit me hard, it made me release how alone I am on the internet. I do have some online friends but I met all of them in 4chan. I tried to leave the site the day that thing happen but I could not live without it for a whole day. I feel that the other aons are my friends, I can't leave them behinde.
Right now I feel like I'm in a stalemate, the fuck I do when 4chan shits the bed? Where do I go? Reddit, tweeter, tumblr or facebook don't seem to be any better and I just can't wrap my head around on how do they work, the biggest issue is replacing /co/, there simply isn't another place like it on the internet, all other comics communities have very narrow scopes and are run by power tripping mods the same goes for animation communities plus the fact that they're full of autists and no other place mixes both.
I feel that I should start nesting somewhere else, get comfortable there and maybe let 4chan fade out of my life or be a place where I can start fresh.
Right now I want to know where does the people who were channers and then left go, how could they leave?

Wrong. You had so much fun at 4chan, that you got addicted to the place. And now you struggle because you are not having as much fun there any more, but if you can't let go either. All you are is addicted. That's all.

The first thing you need to do is ask yourself if you are still having fun there? Or are you just clicking through the threads because you are used to doing so? Think about that.

For me, it took me until recently to realize, but 4chan hasn't been like it used to be for a long time. It takes me longer and longer to find good threads. This is true for other boards too, half the time I spend on them is finding good threads. And I don't NEED to look for good threads often, because all the boards have centralized into generals. New threads come in slower, big threads last longer, depending on the board they can last anywhere from a day to weeks. Even on /pol/, the fastest board, the same threads can stay up for hours and hours.

So once I realized that /co/ isn't the place I liked anymore, and that I don't NEED to check it constantly, it has become easier to let go. I now only check it a few times a day, and only stay if I see anything interesting, or to see if any watched threads got any new posts.

The other thing you need is a hobby to keep you occupied while you lose your addiction, but really all that does is make it easier.

>all other comics communities have very narrow scopes and are run by power tripping mods

We browse other websites too. I don't have a dependancy on any website (although it would be sad if some of them went down).
Not gonna sugar coat it, you sound like a heroin addict.

The other Anons are Anon. You likely wouldn't know if they left and vice versa. The beauty of 4chan is the lack of commitment. You have no account. You have no persistent identity. You can leave the site whenever. In fact, most of the anons (including me) are newfags who have replaced the people you supposedly built up a relationship with. It's fine to respect and enjoy the company of other anonymous users, of course, but you are not leaving them behind. Most of them have other places to go.

Again, it's just not that well known, because it is bannable to raise voice to it. /qa/ is the only place where it is discussed, and it is about a fourth of the content there (two fourths being lolikon spam and shitposting, the rest is bitching about Hiro or discussing where to go to that 4chan is dying).

I still have fun, I post regularly about many topics and I occasionally make storytimes.
The issue for me is not about quality but where else can I talk about Wakfu, move over to garfield and whatever obscure cartoon is the flavor of the month? I may have never heard about Wakfu without /co/
That's probably what I like the most about /co/, there was always something to talk about and I didn't had to search for it.
As I said all the friends I have and had in recent times I made them there, they will still be there but I'm afraid if their computers are safe. I should talk about them with this and feel secure about them.
The comics I like never got deleted on /co/, the storytimes I made always warmed my heart when the comments were positive.
I do have other hobbies but I'm used to browse the internet while doing other stuff so i always had /co/ near me

Unfortunately, the cartoon I liked the most was deleted on site half the time and free to post the other half, no matter how SFW the thread was. A lot of discussion has moved to /trash/, which isn't really a bad thing but shouldn't have been necessary.

>Should I start posting, following more stuff and getting tangled there?
Only if you would enjoy it. I occasionally post in the reddit cartoon communities (and moderate a couple) but they are very different. A downside is that most older or smaller shows don't have a community or have a dead community, whereas on 4chan you can bring up any show you want and have the same size audience see your post. Also, many or most of them will delete NSFW content. It's definitely not the same, but has benefits.
>I should talk with my friends to see where else do they go.
Absolutely.
>Maybe I should get used to have a name but that scares me so much, I'm far too used to mix my porn with serious discussion and having two accounts on several sites sounds complicated.
Well honestly, you can just use one (but I don't always use one). I've been using sites with accounts and identity for a long time, so I guess I'm used to it, but if you don't let anyone you care about know your account name and don't reveal personal or sensitive information (or just create a 'throwaway' (ie. temporary) account to do so), you might as well be anonymous. Sure, someone can look at your post history, but so what? It only matters as much as you value it. Being on 4chan a lot, you will probably be able to ignore petty bullshit like online reputation. Just check the rules, lurk for a few minutes and you should be able to fit right in to those communities.

Is not a matter of enjoying it, I need to be busy online, reading posting and discussing, that is why I felt so empty when I tried to leave 4chan. I really don't know where to go, I'm inclined towards tumblr because of the blogs that I already follow and I feel i can expand what I see there with ease but i never had a discussion on tumblr but i imagine how could that go.

I miss when Rule 34 was specifically about finding porn of character x, which was actually very difficult, since there were no microblog sites dedicated for sharing your artwork. Unless an artist had his own site and gallery set up, you were limited to wwoec and oekaki boards.

So, finding rule 34 of something was actually a challenge. Especially for something mildly obscure.

Is it normal to often not comprehend rap lyrics? Until I see a page of lyrics, all I will ever get is a vague collection of phrases out of the song.

Someone I follow often posts one-liner quotes, which seem original. However I have looked up two, and both times there have been only a single or maybe a couple of google results of people saying a similar thing or using the same keywords. I don't think the quote creator stole these or even saw these quotes, but simply it is difficult to create anything meaningful yet totally original.

You can't help but have expectations unless you have no knowledge of the thing you are having expectations about, which is normally impossible without a third party. A third party that will colour your expectations by even recommending anything to you. And completely removing expectations from your decision making will critically hinder your judgement in finding good things, be they movies, video games, books, jobs or significant others.

Lowering expectations is good, as you can always be surprised by your expectations being surpassed. But having no expectations is silly, harmful and basically impossible any way.

The uniqueness was the fact that the whole site was extremely fast, and topics only lasted a few hours and then disappeared forever. Which is what made the place truly anonymous, not the fact that you could post without a name... there was no logging whatsoever, old threads only lived in the hivemind of the users. This allowed for unique board cultures to develop, since content was not restricted in any way.

It was killed in around 2011-12 when moot changed a bunch of settings to "encourage higher quality posts".

Maybe this should be in Politics thread, but this thread seems most appropriate
I am european ("white", I suppose). I do not consider myself racist nor do I have any true interest in racial politics. Three memories come to my mind regarding race in childhood.
In kindergarten, I have a partial memory of a 'peach' coloured pencil (as it said on the label). Most of the class were european so we just called it 'skin colour' because we were kids and skin was something you would colour in when drawing. I remember one day using the word 'skin colour' for that coloured pencil when talking to my best friend who had a south asian parent and therefore had a strong tan, and them saying it wasn't their skin colour. babbies first introduction to race. i guess i just learned that skin colour is relative and therefore not a good name for a colour, then continued not to care about race for the rest of my childhood.
In early highschool (which was about equally asian+indian and european), I was in metalwork class and had just sanded the rust off a metal bar, leaving my hands covered in brown rust. I remarked that I now looked like an indian classmate, to his amusement. another student loudly told me off for saying a racist comment.
Finally, in later highschool, most of the people I hung around (mostly asian and south east european, by coincidence) and myself really only treated racism as a comedic device and nothing more serious. one prankster friend who was chinese would, for example, claim to be vietnamese if you mentioned the vietnamese war and act offended to try and prey on the common fear of being accused of racism. many of them found it hilarious how cautious and nervous white people would be when racial topics came up and honestly it is. a similar thing happens within my friend groups now, where we're all self-deprecatory-racist in a joking way. especially the arabic pilot friend.
as a side note, my full-chinese friend says "nigga" casually to his mother (as in "nigga, are you serious?"). it's almost surreal to see people saying that word in real life without any tension or seriousness.

Now that the site works, has a catalog, RSS, no CAPTCHA or Tor blocking, etc, I don't think convenience is a real issue at all (except for the fact that we are another separate website to visit, that can't be fixed). We just don't have many attractive features and we don't advertise much.
If /co/ moderation is still as shit as it always was, it may be our best hope at getting traffic. This site is far more lenient than 4chan's /co/ and /aco/.
>Should we have a "make-your-own-board" feature like 8chan?
haha woah, I don't think that is a a good idea:
1) that's been done by many popular imageboards (and many websites) so it's not really a thing that would bring traffic to us
2) any extra boards made would just further fragment our small userbase and be unlikely to introduce more people
3) that is NOT an easy feature to implement, let alone manage and moderate

1) the fact that other sites allow for it but we can't, is something that could be seen as a lack of features on our part. Also, people like to own stuff. They want their own tumblr/twitter blog, their own facebook page, their own discord chat, their own Instagram gallery, their own imageboard, etc. 8chan has so many small boards which are there only because one or two guys use it to post their own content.

2) this is a legit argument: we just don't have the user base for this. And it's my problem with 8chan too, some themes are split along a dozen boards and all with minimal to no traffic.

3) Not that difficult actually, but there are more important missing features to prioritize on right now.

I still talk to a few /co/ and +/co/ people from back in the day. I can see if they are interested in posting here again but I don't know if they would.

I think the people who characterized the '07-08 type posting are all older now and wouldn't post like that anymore, either because they are different people or because they don't have time. And the new generation grew up on twitter and discord and Instagram, what we had back in the day is just not anything special to them.

It's also the fact that comics in the 00s were living a huge renaissance. They went back from the 90s extreme era to the classic settings, and there was still a sense of continuity. /co/ was dropped in the middle of that... we actually discussed the good comics, the old stories that the then-current good comics built on, and it was actually interesting to see where they went, because they were still in the same continuity. It was all the classic stuff but in a modern presentation.

But more than anything, 07-08 style posting was great because everyone was chill. Because it used to be that /b/ was this huge outlet for aggression, so every other board is where you went to if you wanted to have more civil discussions. There was a reason why we used to say that "/co/ is love".

I guess it is kind of naive of me to think we could ever go back. It is nice to dream though.

I never really thought about it but I guess Discord really has replaced chans in general. People can real time talk and post images to it, which was mainly how people treated most chans, there was just the anonymous element for those that liked it. Though I can never understand people that enjoy large Discord chats, there is just too much going on.

The state or cartoons and comics is really divided lately as well. I don't really go to 4chan anymore either but I have been back the last few months a couple times and it is all the same shit I see everywhere, people complaining about wokeness or lack of wokeness. I wish we could just talk about cool shit again.

I am sure I have aged out though and wouldn't really be able to keep up with being on image boards anymore. Maybe I will stick around and see how things go but I am sure this will end up just another nostalgia visit.

Not just discord, but twitter, tumblr, etc., all have the same function now (posting messages and pictures to others). They just have bigger mobile presence and advertisement, and they are free of the inherent vitriol associated with chans, made worse by the current trend of being politically correct. And they focus more on your stuff belonging to you instead of being anonymous, which works because all people have egos. Discord is blooming for the same reason too, everyone can make their *own* chat just by posting a link.

Imageboards are slowly dying not because of this, but because they failed to evolve. Other than ajax functions leveraging a json api, the only innovation was the make-your-own-board feature of 8chan. It's so stupid because if you look at it from a distance, it's just data, grouped differently. Enable user accounts (and the ability to list a users posts/threads only - admin panels on imageboards already have this), and add hashtags (and the ability to list a hashtags posts/threads only), and then only difference between an imageboard and Discord or Tumblr or Twitter is the front end template.

I suppose the difference at this point is money and time. Next to work and life, there's only so much free time people can invest in development. Big social media sites don't have that problem because they have paid developers.

The only thing that needs to happen for more people to come here is for many of said people to stop believing Discord and smartphones are the coolest thing ever. The advantages of Discord is that what you say and post is a mystery to the world (until someone inevitably leaks it). The advantage of an imageboard is that you can be anonymous, and your images and posts will eventually be deleted, to not "embarrass" your children in 30 years.

With plus4 being even slower now, I'd rather not encourage fast, small threads (as much as I long for those days), because it would start bumping off 4 years worth of content and there's no proper thread archival system.

You can post faster on >>>/z/ if you want though.

The point I was unable to make was, that an image board shouldn't really have 4 years worth of content on a board.
I also really don't think their should an archive for anything other than projects maybe.

However, I do see your point with it being how things need to be with the smaller user base.

I fully agree with that. And I wish we had that type of posting. But right now we wouldn't have the userbase for that. The site is in partial limbo due to several catch-22s affecting it, and this is one of them.

Unrelated to that, but I liked the old 4chanarchive system. A thread needed an amount of votes to be submitted, and then a moderator checked if it was worth archiving. It was only known by those who frequented 4chan, so you didn't have every moron archiving every one of his own threads. A lot of great threads got archived that way. It wasn't perfect, but neither is archiving everything like what 4chan does right now.

RAM usage is not only caused by the browser, it's caused by the content you open in them. You can make any browser, with a single tab only, reach 2+GB RAM by opening a large enough image file. You can make any browser reach the maximum amount of memory they can handle with 2 rows of javascript. And websites today load quite a lot of images and quite a lot of javascript, plus a ton of animations that have to be precomputed and cached, 1080p videos, multiple custom vector fonts to rasterize on the fly, and using GPU to render all of that.

I am not at all surprised that you can get 5+GB with 40 tabs.

I noticed that too at work. There are some tools to calibrate them, but I don't particularly give a shit anymore, since I can just copy the colour codes and it'll look the same as what the designer intended. And if you are designing stuff that needs this, just aim for the contrast or the general impression of the colours - their ratio and such will be the same on all devices, as long as they are not extremely miscalibrated to the point of missing entire colours.

The more funny thing was when I used to have a TN panel monitor at work. The designers sometimes gave designs with a subtle shade or shadow for some elements, which did not show up on the TN panel AT ALL. Some years later we finally got some new monitors which did not have this issue (either VA or IPS, don't know which).

So I put a watercooling loop (AIO) in my computer, hoping it would keep temperatures down for the summer, so my computer does not generate so much heat and blow it into the room.

Well it keeps some specific parts of the hardware inside cool... but now there's a 40C radiator emitting heat into my room (or into the case, depending on where I position it). Basically, the inside of the computer is an oven, but the gpu is kept at a nice 35C idle, 50C load - previous stock cooler was 45C idle, 80C load, but it pushed all heat out of the case itself.

Pretty much, except without the magic.
HTTP and HTTPS are different protocols. HTTPS is an extension of HTTP, the S literally stands for 'secure'.
Your browser and the server software both already understand how to communicate with each other using the HTTPS protocol, so both will encrypt and decrypt messages. Some sites don't have HTTPS servers but most do by now, it's standard.
Of course, it's not perfect magic. Lots of sites enable CloudFlare's reverse proxy, which means CloudFlare sees the unencrypted message, checks it and can choose to re-encrypt it. There are also various attacks on HTTPS.

I should have mentioned: I'm reasonably sure +4 is doing this.
Usually this is done so that CloudFlare (for example) can check for known suspicious activity and try to block it. If the message is encrypted, that really limits what information they are able to analyse.

The only reason to upgrade to windows 10 is if you're using new hardware that isn't compatible with an older operating system. Even without any official microsoft support it won't change your overall experience. "But what about security updates!?!?" people will say. Well I went through the entirety of Windows7 without ever downloading a single update and I never got a virus. A virus doesn't spontaneously appear in your hard drive, you have to download it from some stupid attack site first. As long as you use adblock and stick with known websites and don't download stupid shit you'll be fine. If you want to be extra safe you can use noscript on firefox. It breaks every single website and you have to go through a long process figuring out exactly what you want to allow but its worth it.

But if you really do want to upgrade to windows 10 heres something you NEED TO KNOW. Get a decent solid state drive and at least 8 gigs of ram, windows 10 runs like 100 fucking processes at launch and a mechanical hard drive can barely keep up. Combined with forced updates the effects of "windows rot" hits a hell of a lot harder than any other OS out there. Microsoft is seemingly aware of how shitty it is and introduced a new "start fresh" feature to pseudo re-install windows without messing with everything else.

>windows 10 runs like 100 fucking processes at launch and a mechanical hard drive can barely keep up

This is incorrect. What happens is that on old versions of Windows, most services were combined to a single service host task executable. By windows 10, the average computer had 4 cores minimum and buttloads of ram, so they set each service to use it's own, separate host task. It's why you have 60 or so svchost.exe's running in the background.

However the services still write to disk the same amount, so having more processes makes no difference speed wise. What it does make a difference in, is stability: when one service makes a fatal error and crashes its own host, you won't have 1/8th of all Windows services crashing at the same time.

And the "Start Fresh" feature was always there; it was just a feature on the installer disc.

As for an SSD, that one is a no brainer. I've been using once since almost a decade (9 and half years), and even the slow-ass models of that time made gigantic differences compared to standard HDDs. Every time someone brings me a slow laptop, I just put an SSD in it, and it gave me a reputation as a computer magician. Windows 7 would be equally slow with a HDD, that one is not a Windows 10 thing.

The "windows rot" is just you acquiring too much shit on your computer and user account over time. It's the same as when you switch to another browser; it'll be super fast because the one you regularly use has too much user info piled up, slowing it down. When IE9 came out, it felt bloody light speed to all the new users, Chrome feels super fast to long time Firefox users, Edge or Opera feels super fast to long time Chrome users etc etc etc. Just learn how to do regular maintenance and windows 10 isn't any worse than windows 7 or even windows Vista (if you knew how to configure it, Vista had zero issues after it got its first service pack).

Yeah but thousands of NEW systems are being released without an SSD. Combined with the endless windows updates and you have people complaining about not being able to use their computer for hours at a time. With a new SSD it takes seconds. People don't realize this so why are you so dismissive? People complaining about windows update freezing their computer forever spiked in popularity when 10 became the new standard. It wasn't an issue as big of an issue before.

>The "windows rot" is just you acquiring too much shit on your computer and user account over time.
No its really fucking not that simple. Before they ended support on XP I tested it myself with an old system I had reformatted but never used afterwards as I had built a new system for Windows7. I let it download and update every single thing microsoft claimed I needed and when it was all finished the system took significantly longer to boot and was barely responsive when attempting to open folders. Every single update WILL slightly slow down your system bit by bit and people always shift the blame to every other thing EXCEPT microsoft. Yeah other programs do terrible things too, one third party browser toolbar and your system is crippled. But lets not pretend Microsoft is innocent in the matter.

In reality its way more complicated than that. Vista sucked dick because the average computer at the time could barely run the operating system by itself, let alone any other programs after that. I would see low end systems with as little as 512 megs of ram being advertised as "vista compatible". Microsoft was literally sued for false advertising when making up the minimum requirements for Vista. Windows 7 is basically a reskinned windows vista, but released later so the average computer at the time had better hardware.

HDDs are still cheaper per megabyte, and OEMs make more money off of selling cheaper crap at a higher mark up. That's all there is to it - people buying cheap machines.

Windows updates only happen once a month, barring critical security issues. What really slows the computers down is a combination of data fragmentation, and morons installing everything at a whim which causes dozens of unnecessary applications running simultaneously.

>People complaining about windows update freezing their computer forever spiked in popularity when 10 became the new standard. It wasn't an issue as big of an issue before.
This is not the fault of Windows 10 itself, but Microsoft kicking out all their experienced developers and replacing them with cheap Indian labour. If the current team was working on a Windows 7 service pack, that too would get hard drive nuking problems. But Win7 issues don't even make it to the media now, so it probably has it's share off issues, you just don't hear from it.

And don't forget that Windows is now getting major updates bi-yearly (well, only yearly now, they recently changed stances on that). Previously, service packs came out 2-3 years, unless something really needed it (Vista SP1). More updates + worse dev team = more frequent problems. But as long as you delay the platform updates, you should be fine.

>No its really fucking not that simple.
Yes it is.

Okay, you are making several mistakes in your test case. One, you are using Windows XP, which received extremely major under-the-hood changes during lifetime, partially because it was so broken initially, and partially because it was in service for two to three times its intended lifespan. The original release of XP was only slightly more than Windows 2000, it could run on something like 64MB RAM with ease. After three service packs, it received a completely new management console, policy editors, a firewall, kernel support for several new modern hardware (USB 2.0 being a major example, but also Bluetooth, Firewire, better multi-core cpu support, NX bit support, IPv6...), they introduced the system file checker (sfc.exe) which verified the integrity of system files, there was the Microsoft antivirus, I forgot how many versions of .NET and Visual Basic runtime libraries, and eight years worth of monthly DirectX library updates. Windows XP, up to date, is a several times bigger OS than Windows XP, vanilla. It doesn't even use the same kernel! They had to change it to the Server 2003 one, after XP got 3 major worldwide infections in the summer of 2003.

The fragmentation caused by running so many updates alone would cause huge problems (nearly all of the system files have been rewritten), but you also have several extra tasks running post-update, plus a virus checker running a full background check.

An SSD alone would defeat a lot of those issues, though.

>Vista sucked dick because the average computer at the time could barely run the operating system by itself
This is only a third of the truth, and it was only half of Microsofts problem. It is true that MS were too lenient with the Vista "compatible" badges. The bigger issue was that a lot of vendors simply did not release drivers for older hardware. Players as big as Nvidia were advertising DirectX 10 support on the 8800 card when they didn't have drivers ready yet. They did not support nForce3, leaving a large portion of people running top-of-the-line hardware with buggy or no Vista support (I ran into that myself, and met several people who couldn't update due to using that chipset). I'm fairly sure Nvidia got sued for one of those. Creative were left orphaned after hardware support got removed too (but to be fair, their drivers were already legendarily bad). I could also mention the lack of gameport support, but the X360 pad came out just then and it was brilliant, so they saved some face with that. Hardware acceleration of Aero was difficult to get working, again due to driver problems.
The Vista installer itself bluescreened if you installed it on an nForce3 motherboard, once it got to the part where it measured your videocard performance.

The other major reasons were Vista having some major under-the-hood kinks which they could not iron out due to the expedited shipping; it was an ambitious project that had to be restarted from scratch, with clear goals in mind rather than a collection of experimental technologies. The competition was stealing too many of the ideas seen in the Vista "Longhorn" prototypes, and shipped them before Vista did, so they had to rush Vista. This resulted in more bugs. On release it had issues like file copying being unusable slow. The first service pack came out unusually fast to address so many issues.

And finally they introduced a new, necessary security concept, already familiar in Unix systems. The concept of separating user and system permissions. Before Vista, every application ran as an administrator by default, and very often they indeed did whatever they wanted on the system. Vista did not allow applications to access anything but the User space, unless the user specifically granted them permissions. This was known as the User Account Control, and it was a huge bane of many people because the Windows ecosystem was wholly unprepared for it. Vista was made a laughing stock due to asking if the user really wanted to do that for nearly every application.

>Windows 7 is basically a reskinned windows vista, but released later so the average computer at the time had better hardware.
Windows 7 had a good kernel with all the major bugs ironed out of it right from the start. Hardware support became better as more legacy hardware was phased out either due to people normally upgrading, or by necessity due to Vista incompatibility. And the application ecosystem has gotten used to the new separation of user and system space, resulting in more modern programs not nagging users so often.

I'm not just parroting this either, these are all personal anecdotes, as I've had to deal with all of this. I still have my monthly updates from 2003 when XP ate itself in a month. I remember dual booting Vista when it first came out, for until a year when it was unnecessary anymore as it became stable enough. Had to switch out a nForce3 board to a VIA K8T800 one due to Nvidia fucking me over with lack of drivers - the XP drivers worked fine for a while, until I switched from a passive Geforce 7600 to a Radeon X1950 Pro, funnily enough. Windows 7 included an entire Windows XP VM for hardware compatibility reasons, and that was the only way I could use my scanner.

Compared to all of that shit, Windows 10 is infinitely easier to use. Just stay away from the bi-yearly platform updates, until they iron out the issues from it, and you are set. There are some apps like 7 Tray Tools and WinAero Tweaker which can make it more usable or work more like what you are used to with older Windows versions.

and I forgot, Windows XP didn't even have usable Wi-fi support until SP2 or so.

0days exist, especially useful for widely used, unmaintained OSs like XP and soon Win 7. They can pose as legitimate updates, for example. Or a drive-by download in your browser from a pwnt, previously-trusted website. Browsers are a very big target.
If the writer/s of the hack are good enough, you won't even know you have a virus.

There was another mass shooting, this time at El Paso.

As a consequence (the person posted frequently on 8chan), cloudflare terminated their contract with 8chan, and now the site is (temporarily?) unavailable.

I'm split:
- 8ch has a few good communities among the trash and some helpful things I should have saved
- 8ch is a cesspool with major issues and politics creeping into too many places for my taste
- If I were to visit or post on 8ch, I would prefer not to have a MITM like Cloudflare involved. Fuck them.
- Since Cloudflare dropped them, the site has been unavailable

Because stardom makes their lives hell. They can't do as much as go down to the groceries without people flocking over them. Cults are a place where that doesn't matter, and it gives them a sense of belonging too, so when the join they feel a level of appretiation they do not feel elsewhere.

It is one place where they can go to and meet people without stardom being a problem.

That, or they are just scammers who know that people go to cults for that reason, and they try to take advantage of that.
