I'm still new. Kindofish. Were you here August of '09?

Who Me is still in the police academy.
Ralen came out of the closet - again.
"Windowledge" is back, along with Danbo.
Other than that, just the same 'ol /azu/ that has been buzzing all year 'round!

Same old same old. Best place to see azu etc.

Abusive Kaorin's mom never gets old.

Where did you go OP? Was it prison? What did you do? Was it murder?

>>211799
Nah, one day i was looking through my folder with Osaka images and kinda spaced out, the next thing i know i found myself traveling all around the place and taking break from /azu/ and internet in general.

>>211790
I'm the guy maintaining shimauu.net, although that's probably not the right word, considering last time i logged in was sometime in february ... i figured that if it stopped working someone would send me email ... then i realized i didn't put my email address anywhere .. well seems it still works, so all is nice and proper.

>Who Me is still in the police academy.

Wasn't he mall cop last time around waiting for segway delivery or something ?

>Ralen came out of the closet - again.

the closet of awesomeness i hope

Hey, it's the day filled with good news!

What he means is they let me out of the closet they keep me in.

>>211780

I'd slip Kaorin's mom the hot beef injection.

>>211774
That's good to know

Just some hills by the country.
Oh and Danbo died.

She's a bad mother...

Shut your mouth!

I'm talkin' 'bout Kaorin's mom!

>>212269

We can dig it!

>>211774
you forgot chileanon going emo and abandoning the board, even requesting a ban. He probably killed himself due to depression.

>>212282
oh I forgot all about him

vc: deid

>>212282

He's desperately arguing to an arresting officer that there isn't a child molester look, and the officer's definition of a child molester look is to vague and generic, and he didn't know she was eight.

>>212284
I found his "good bye" thread, but I can't find the one where he expressed his views on the "pedo look". Is it still around?

Nothing to report, just good people enjoying good works.

Maybe it's because we are all over 30? One of the few anonymous image boards where we are civil.

Actually, Ralen is 26.

I'm 16

23 (and still a virgin)

>>212373
Prostitutes. Have you heard of them?
23 and a virgin? Fix that. It's really, really depressing to read something like that.

>>212374

Then allow me to render you into horrifying despair: 33 and a virgin here.

Probably will be until I get married. Prostitutes? F*ck those whores. Wait. I mean, don't f*ck those whores, and also you shouldn't call women whores, except of course the particular women under discussion are whores, but even still, that's a bad word for ladies of the evening.

>>212374

>Prostitutes

Given a choice, I'd prefer to be a virgin rather than stoop that low.

>>212374
I didn't lose mine until I was 25, and I'm actually thankful for that. I don't think I was mature or prepared enough before that point, no matter how much my virginity weighed on me prior (mostly for sociological reasons).

Sex is more emotionally complex than it's made out to be. Having grown up enough, I realized that what I wanted was something more than just a warm body to stick my dick into. It's not the way everyone works, but in my case I am not ashamed that I was a virgin for so long.

I will grant that if your virginity weighs on you so much that it poisons your every interaction with your preferred gender, it's not ideal, but you should consider just getting a prostitute and getting it over with. But I don't think there's any shame in waiting until you're actually ready for it.

>>212374
Fuck you. Chiyo-Chan is 21 years old and still a virgin. So that guy and The Great Chiyo have something in common. You should respect that.

I think people should be allowed to have sex with whoever they want for whatever reason they want. That's freedom. Don't look down on prostitutes.
>>212375

>33 and a virgin here.

Jesus Christ!

>>212379

>Jesus Christ!

Yes?

>33 and a virgin here.

すごいですね

>>212379

I think people should be allowed to not have sex for whatever reason they want. That's freedom. Don't look down on virgins.

I technically lost my virginity when I was six (raped by a twelve year old), and I wish I was a 33 year old virgin.

>>212332

>I'm only 12 actually.

>>212334

>go back to bed, chileanon

If Chileanon is 12 then he's not a pedo, and Chileanon not being a pedo is something I'm not willing to accept.

>>212384

Uhm, you do realize that what you wrote and 212379 are the same thing, right? Free choice is free choice. That includes "yes" as well as "no".

>>212386

That's the joke.

Also, I was poking fun at his order to not look down on prostitutes. Apparently we're allowed to chose to have sex, or not to have sex, but we aren't allowed to look down on people if we want to. That's a part of free choice as well.

>>212387
You're free to look down on anyone, either for what they choose to do or for what they are: Prostitutes, homosexuals, black people, white people, poor people, junk food eaters, virgins, taxi drivers, cancer patients, manga readers and geeks of all stripes.
But is not a very nice attitude, is it? In fact it makes you an asshole.

I'm not saying all behavior is acceptable, which is why I listed only conditions, jobs and hobbies that are not intrinsically harmful.

Also, if you choose to be a virgin I respect that choice, but I must admit I don't understand it. When I discovered my penis wouldn't give me a moment of tranquillity I decided not to give it a moment of peace.

Maybe some people here asexual or have a very underdeveloped sex drive. Don't get me wrong when I say both those things are deficiencies. I'm pointing it out as a fact, not making a value judgment.
Still, I suspect most virgins over 20 are socially awkward and shy, and some of them will say it's a choice and maybe even convince themselves. I'm not pointing any fingers; I'm just sayin'

Now, in direct defence of prostitutes, sex is a need, and where there's a need there's someone in the market ready to capitalize on it and willing to provide a product or service to fulfill that need. Also, whores rule.

>>212378
Well, if you get to say Chiyo is a 21 years old virgin then I get to say both Chiyo and Sakaki agree with every single one of my points.

>>212389

>fact

'Fraid not, Doctor Internet.

>>212390

Methinks you are assigning a negative connotation to the word "deficiency" and therefore disagree with the statement because you find that offensive or insulting. Stop. You misunderstand.

A low sex drive or asexuality is most certainly deficient. Deficient means "low", nothing more. It is not an insult, judgmental, or mean--it's just an adjective. Don't piss yourself off by ascribing additional meaning that simply ought not to be there.

>>212391
You got my point perfectly. Hell, I even said I wasn't making a value judgment. We all have deficiencies, BTW.
If your sex drive is so low that you choose to embrace the asexual lifestyle, then you do have a deficiency. The only word I used in a derogatory sense was asshole.
Hormonal, glandular and developmental deficiencies (as well as clinical depression and anhedonia) can lead to a lower than average sex drive.

I could defend my position saying that evolution wouldn't benefit the reproduction of individuals without a sex drive (which is true) and therefore the individuals with genes that suppress the development of sexual desire would not pass their genes to the next generation; but we know evolution can create individuals with impulses that are, at first glance, not reproduction or survival oriented, specially on social species (gay social mammals are "super uncles", which is evolutionarily beneficial, and so is the almost suicidal behavior of the individual prairie dogs and mongooses in charge of checking for predators), so my integrity wouldn't let me use that evolutionary argument. It simply wouldn't be honest.

On a side note, the fact that you agree with me makes me think you could be either Chiyo or Sakaki. Sweet!

The point it, don't look down on prostitutes, don't be an asshole, and respect the freedom both of individuals and the market. And both Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba& are awesome. And Ichigo Mashimaro too, apparently.

I came to /azu/ today, found one of the top two topics to be a windowledge thread and the other a thread where people admit to being middle-aged virgins while other posters make obnoxiously expositional, pseudo-intellectual, 'B+ in PSYC 101' posts about said other posters' sex lives.

And then I made a post about both of those. Arg.

Fuck the intertubes today. I'm going to go watch 80s action flicks and drink until I pass out and wake up to turkey.

>>212389
Use better adjectives if you don't want people to ascribe negative meaning to them. Deficient means "not enough" or "inadequate".

Yes, I am shy and socially avoidant, and my virginity was not by choice. So what? I had to learn some things about myself and the world before I was anywhere near ready and able to have sex with another person. Most of all, I had to slough off the poisonous social construct that tells us that it is somehow shameful to be a virgin. When I did have sex, I was mature enough to recognize that I did not actually require sex, and that sex is effectively meaningless to me if I do not love the other person, so I was able to get out of a relationship that was going nowhere before it got really bad!

I don't think prostitutes are bad! But I kind of think that paying for sex is a much more pathetic thing to do than just jerking off, because both actions have just about the same amount of meaning. But if you need to do it, go for it.

>>212394
I'm sorry, but it gets worse, because my fucking integrity kicked in again and now there's a [Citation needed] tag stuck in my head. It won't go away if I don't post this:

About the gays being "super uncles" and therefore passing their genes not trough their own offspring but rather trough the their siblings' offspring by enhancing the survival capacity of the nephews and nieces, I refer you to the studies made by doctors Paul Vasey and Doug VanderLaan of the University of Lethbridge. They have been published and peer-reviewed.

About the risks individuals take when they are in charge of looking for predators (risks that severely reduce their chances of reproducing) I refer you to "The Selfish Gene" by Dr. Richard Dawkins. Improving the survivability of your direct family still passes your genes and therefore the genes that impulse an individual to behave in a way oriented to that get the Natural Selection Seal of Approval, even if it makes you not reproduce or even kill yourself as a side effect.
"I would not die for a brother, but for two brothers and a cousin". That's the rationale behind it. I should add something in this case(sorry for corrupting your work, Professor Dawkins): "I would not die or give up reproduction for a brother, but for two brothers and a cousin".

Maybe someday we'll discover an evolutionary advantage to having no sexual impulses what so ever, and that day I'll change my mind. Evolution sometimes does things that can be counterintuitive, and, to me, right now, being asexual doesn't look advantageous; but I could be totally fucking wrong. I stick to my original post and the word "deficiency" for now.

Now I'll be able to sleep well. And if I ever change my mind you'll know, because the bitch I hate will force me to come here to tell you. Fuck you, Integrity!

Also remember, disagreeing with me is disagreeing with pic related.

>thread where people admit to being middle-aged virgins while other posters make obnoxiously expositional, pseudo-intellectual, 'B+ in PSYC 101' posts

I see you didn't give me an F, and I bet you wanted to. Maybe you'll give me an A- now that I cited sources?

Also, the possibility of starting a cool thread didn't cross your mind?

Hell, you don't even seem to be able to consider any thread other than the two top ones on the first fucking page. A wise woman once said something relevant: >>211780

>Fuck the intertubes today. I'm going to go watch 80s action flicks and drink

I see the first thought in your head after "fuck the intertubes" is not "I'll go to a social place to try to get laid, where at least I won't be drinking alone if I get no pussy". If your list of priorities starts with the internet and from there moves to Commando, then it's no wonder you posted on a thread where, in your own words "people admit to being middle-aged virgins".

Remember how I started this post saying I was sorry? I lied.

How the hell did thread i started turned into discussion about virgins and super uncles ?

Virginity?

No problem. Pic related.

>>212401
Not too long ago a thread about Chiyo turned surprisingly fast into a thread about Nazism and from there to a mess of strongly held but poorly constructed opinions, and before that there was a thread that started with Kagura and ended with comments about eating tumors.
I bet those are still around, because >>211780.

>>212389

>I respect that choice, but I must admit I don't understand it.

I think the source of confusion stems from the fact that you may assume people who are virgins by choice are foregoing all sex, when in fact they are simply being selective about who they mate with and under what conditions, which certainly would be evolutionary advantageous behavior.

Also, while you may not have intended any value judgement with your use of the word "deficiency," the word itself does carry the meaning of some state which is worse or less desireable than some other state.
In this sense you were speaking strictly in terms of evolutionary advantage, but without clarifying your context, it initially sounded disparaging.

>>212302

>This is the interent. Everyone hates on everyone.

Not true: I love you.
I like people here. Cant' say that about 4chan. Hell, cant' say that about 99.9% of the internet and 75% of the places I've been IRL. Even the trolls here are entertaining.
However, this is the internet. Give me a minute...
>>212334

>>I'm only 12 actually.

Proof of vagina or GTFO. We don't care about your age unless you have more than one fuckable hole down there.

That felt kinda good. Like real internet behavior.

>>212396
So your value judgments on other human beings begin and end with their evolutionary viability? Digdogger, please. The Toba catastrophe was a long fucking time ago and there are more than enough viable human mating pairs in this world to make sure our race will continue to exist at least until we're wiped off the face of the earth by some self-created or external calamity. Why is it important to you that strangers you've never met in person propagate their genes? Because that is what you are doing, in effect, by bringing evolutionary psychology into a discussion about how much sex people have and their personal priorities.

>>212385

>If Chileanon is 12 then he's not a pedo

Yes he is, because Yotsuba is 5.

>>212394

>B+ in PSYC 101

If you got a B in psyc you are too stupid to pump gas.

>>212442
Let me see your proof (in the mathematical sense_.

>>212443

>Let me see your proof

If you're 12 and you wanna fuck a 5 years old yet hen you're a pedo. Duh!

>in the mathematical sense

Oh, sorry.
Being 12 + wanting to fuck a 5 years old = pedo

Also, if you open a parenthesis don't close it with a low dash.

>>212444
No, where is your proof that he wanted to fuck Yotsuba?

>>212447
Of course he wants to! He's a pedo!

Circular argument, I know; but I won't browse every single archived post to find evidence.

...who am I kidding. Of course I will...
