Electric for the Boogaloo

"Fringe": a board for the utterly retarted mainstream posters. What's Fringe today is just regular coffee shop talk from 10 years ago. Moved online, because no one talks to stranger irl anymore. It's now Fringe to talk!

>8132 >just regular coffee shop talk Revolutions started from coffee shop talks. >It's now Fringe to talk! ;_;

Thread Theme.

I just realized that memes are intrusive thoughts by definition. The internet is an intrusive thought factory. >Mewch flag added That was like the second worst fringe. I don't even remember what we even talked about there.

She was that Russian? camgirl who held a cup with her feet right? Just realized simping for camgirls was absolutely weird and cringe back then. How much we have fallen since Twitch and Onlyfans holy shit. How the fuck did normalfags even accept that as normal. Or maybe I should just accept that normalfags are not even normal. They just operate on a shared degeneracy and complacence mindwave.

I think she was Greek. Mewch/fringe/ was Smiley's last attempt at running the board after 8chan banned him from board ownership. He created too many empty boards on mewch and eventually left it too. It's weird with his graphic design and CSS skills that he'd end up homeless. Even if no one used the boards, he made some really nice looking ones, like the /x/ there. >what we talked about Mostly meta drama, mewch/b/ overshadowed everything happening there.

Every time, I think back and think >it was so much more alive and organic back at [insert year] only to realize how much things escalated into horror mode since, and it keeps getting worse. Yet I recall how "bad" it used to be, and how it already was dead and useless when inside the era. I end up thinking, the only online period that was purely positive was a brief window from 1996 to ~2001. After that too many idiots had already made it online and commercial websites with unusable graphics menus which took several minutes to load, created by stupid 40+ year old women who didn't understand the difference between viewing the website on their own machine/company fibre versus the 56k modem most people had. These people don't belong online, and now they make up the 99.9999% majority. At least we have AI to replace the non-functional "ad-engines" which don't even accept boolean anymore.

>>8188 >the only online period that was purely positive was a brief window from 1996 to ~2001 >horror mode My life was in horror mode since 1995 but I didn't realize it yet and my family didn't even have internet till 2004. I think I was allowed to use it by myself around 2006. The greatest gift the internet gave me that I had access to horrors beyond my mortal perception which allowed me to prepare for them. Finally having english classes in 2010 really sped up the learning process. At least it prepared me to adapt.

I don't know if I envy or pity first worlders for having a "golden age" in their life that their country threw away for no real reason. I didn't have that. My life didn't get worse. It just sucked differently every year. Some things improved other things got worse. Having access to occult knowledge really changed the rules of the game and I am not complaining but I don't have a single moment in my life where I think I want to "go back". Even tho I have to go back several times to heal some dumb ass wounds. Just because I conquered my shadow it doesn't mean it's not nagging me to solve the remaining issues still embedded within my flesh. Heaven dimensions can form around a single treasured moment of a person's life that holds their timeline together. ... And I fear the internet will be part of that dimensional complex if I don't find something better. Damm

I can't deny that there is some kind of balance in how certain things get more and more hellish, while others balance that. Looking back at 90s media, it was mostly trash. Even tv series like Highlander which was a high point (pun unintended) of the week, are extremely mediocre when looking back at it. The only thing that made it worth anything in retrospective was the OP song and that the hero actually killed the bad guy in each episode, which was a sense of fresh air compared to the eternal masturbation of American syndicate franchises where they always reset back to the starting point when each episode ends. This part of having access to almost all anime with a few clicks is heaven compared to the desert walk of watching spider-man and speed racer once a week in the 90s. Contrary to what many weebs think, I don't agree that anime was better in the 90s - sure they were hand drawn, and even Pokemon from the period looks amazing, but stories were pretty deep in the same worn out route with few new or mind expanding themes. Ghost in the Shell with the theme of mind/memory hacking, was mindboggling, and this was before the Stand Alone Complex in the 00s, which was groundbreaking in complexity of concept. Even if 90% is trash today, the good parts of it today are still an improvement by many lengths. They don't touch the standard of the big few, but those did set a standard for what to expect as a minimum. I don't care one bit if it's the 8th isekai of the year, if it's well animated and has something new to say. A large number of occult concepts have been shared through anime during this decade, some shows seem to have been produced directly to serve as spiritual guidance for me personally, and I know others have experienced the same with other shows that seemed tailored to them. Some of them appear in a strange timeline, where S2 of some unknown show makes an impact, and when viewing the first episode from years ago, it contains concepts that only make sense and are relevant after watching the second season within its year of publication. Example: Dawn of the Witch. Seemingly made to be as fucked up as possible, riding on the wave of Redo of Healer (which was a masterpiece imo) but there's a very mild-natured prestory in an old S1 for anyone who wants to dig it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAvvFO7Z2Xs or Failure Frame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MylZpB5dIo where everything is so stereotyped it's like a joke, and the choice of using horribly bad 3DCGI for normal movement seems like the worst decision of the decade already in Ep1. But then there was something meditative over the flow of the show, almost trance-inducing, when the mc stumbles through the first dungeon, fighting stiff paste and copy monsters, and I realized beneath the surface of this seeming low budget slop, is something genuine. I ended up liking this one a lot, and it pointed me to some astral locations and magic procedures which I also utilized during the show's run.

>>8186 >How the fuck did normalfags even accept that as normal. Or maybe I should just accept that normalfags are not even normal. They just operate on a shared degeneracy and complacence mindwave. This is something I think about a lot. Modern internet whores are often straight-up hideous, and even when they aren't, they look like the human equivalent of that fake food they photograph for advertisements which btw I've never found appetizing in the slightest If it were only young people would be one thing, but even people who were middle-aged when the "before-times" ended, are at least as brainwashed. How someone could grow up in the 1950s and only think to complain about Trump or "Woke" or whatever, is incomprehensible to me. I was already thinking of doing a post about how genuine eroticism is the only true "taboo" in this hypersexualized society. It really doesn't exist in culture at all any more, only (rarely) in individuals. The current cultural paradigm pits a leftist conception of sexuality which manifests as purposely ugly androgynous characters (supposedly because sexy characters offend feminists) against grotesquely uncannily disproportionate, nauseatingly lurid imagery one would sooner expect from the most demented of otherworldly entities than a human being. If OF whores are fake food, both sides of this dialectic are a thin tasteless gruel that would probably give you food poisoning. People are literally incapable of seeing outside of paradigms like these, even the ones who lived before them. I'm beginning to believe that Francis E. Dec's narrative or at least my interpretation of his writings is correct, and the majority of people in this world have components of their being entirely replaced by machine consciousness. e.g. people who believed in "covid" despite the capacity of the most basic of natural human reasoning abilities to completely vaporize the narrative, would be examples of the "thinking" center being replaced. Many are incapable of recognizing or even perceiving beauty. They were either born that way or it was ripped out of them at some point.

>>8193 It's that thinking for yourself requires a spiritual element that is incredibly rare even for people that aren't npc's.

>>8193 >which manifests as purposely ugly androgynous characters For me it is that disgusting "oily" look most prominent in western games but also to be found in recent TV shows and movies. As if they all had aids and veneral diseases and sweating waste was as inevitable as breathing. People outside look like that too it feels gross to just be near them. I am not sure when the shift happened or if a kiddie-safe filter was removed. Horrifying.

>>8197 >that disgusting "oily" look most prominent in western games I remember when Silent Hill 3 came out, and the main character >pic looked more realistic than the image of pop stars of the time, who all had this glossy appearance. Now just compare this old intentionally "worn and ugly" woman with what they look like in mainstream games today, and she's still pretty hot.

It's like they just have to check off the boxes to tell a normal fantasy story of an OP girl, but it requires that it's a game and the girl is actually a man.

>>8271 (8269) >maybe it's time to make a serious blog thread with some baseline rules to keep it really as a blog and create an adjacent "blog commentary" thread, to keep the usual 200+ post long discussions separated. Blog commentary or Discussion general. >Maybe blog #5 will have some guidelines, so people with their singular posts won't get lost in the long reply-chains. This idea is good.

I find it quite funny that the current april fools on cuckchan was done on 8chan weeks ago thanks to the spammer. >>8278 Was thinking about making a Sonic general for people who are on the quest to surpass chris chan level autism. Chris chan was recognized as a prophet by fringe with this banner. He should be celebrated by having a thread dedicated to him and to the Sonic franchise. To make sure Sonic related posts stay within this great thread of worship. But I didn't want to appear rude to the struggles of the person who bumped the blog thread tirelessly so far. I think he is nearing a proper clarity soon and I didn't want to disturb it with this snide remark. The Sonic egregore is such a hellish realm and not many understand why. And I really didn't want to be the one that explains it. Mostly because once we attract 1 or 2 more Sonic autist /fringe/ might become unusable. They have immense powerlevel in the autism field. If one comes here from /v/ we are in deep shit. Jokes have consequences. Being a jester is a true artform that I didn't master yet

>>8286 Funnily enough I wanted to make an Autist (Sonic) flag or a Chris Chan/Sonichu flag but figured it would be a dick move to implicitly mock someone who suffers so much

>>8289 It kinda would be, but I'd accept the inevitability; just do be wary that actually making a Sonic flag may have the potential to attract such a /v/irgin that this board ain't ready to attract. One who doesn't hold back for the sake of preventing people from cringing halfway to death, and who may tell his friends about this site. just don't make it a CWC flag pls >>8286 Having a Sonic general may also attract such a /v/irgin. However, now that my & the smileberg poster's Amys made an actual dimension with a chao garden and side-incarnated both of us as chao, I suppose that there's some real spirituality involved here beyond the existence of the egregores in question. Nothing compared to what's going on with the Touhou egregore(s), though.

I am thinking about the Oracle in the matrix in the past weeks almost daily. Seeing the future is one thing but being able to tell or "prophesize" it is an another. Cassandra's curse was about that. How they will never believe her. Because she refused to marry Apollo. It's tricky but seeing the future and having the oratory skills to make people listen and the divine ability to alter fate itself? Yes that requires a divine marriage. Those are 3 different skillsets. You cannot do the work of God without the help of God(s) or without understanding what it means to be one. Telling people what they want to hear is easier than telling them what they need to hear. Even cold readers can tell what you want to hear. What I liked in the Matrix that the Oracle knew what she had to say and she gave a false prediction. She told Neo how he is not the One. Because if she told her then he would misunderstand it and not believe it either. Neo knew how to blend the spoon with a single instruction but he still didn't make more of that realization. He just thought that is something everyone can do and never did anything like that again. He had to realize what it means to be The One. Being able to tell the only good advice that helps. It's always hard. Oracle's are supposed to tell the future and not make the future. But once they tell the future they make the future. Impossible to escape the dealings of Fate. Oh and let's not talk about inaccurate visions that force you to become an agent of Fate with their inaccuracies. Always look into your visions kids... I should rewatch the Matrix tbh. Whenever I remember a scene for "no reason" I realize there might be more stuff that I didn't notice back in my teens when I watched it. It's not a comprehensive guide for awakening for sure but it is a well known medium with some good examples of reality creation and alteration. The Wachowskis had some good insights but even they turned into trannies. I always wonder if it's a ruse on their part or they really failed a "test" with that retardation of theirs.

>>8310 I think everyone will go through something like that, because it takes some level of insanity to be connected with God, or to channelling any kind of important information. Whether you pass the test without harming your body is a different matter, as well as if the test is passed at all. Since I keep coming back to that, I'll say it again: the detransitioned tranny Jew a7who started an /x/ discord server in the summer of 2018 was channelling a social current, which has lead to where we are today, and I still consider him an inspiration. But he had to go as far as getting on hormone therapy and dress as a woman before he realized that this wasn't for him, and what he actually had to do. It would be better to just entertain the idea, or at least stop after dressing up and not harming your body, but the mind is stubborn in some cases and won't be convinced before seeing it in full reality. For some it won't help even when they put a noose around their neck, while for some, that is when they wake up brazil anon, I'm looking at you.

Altar of Cheibriados I wonder if anyone ever tried working with the fictional deities from Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. They really nailed what makes polytheism fascinating. >>8328 (53) >Snail That guy must be from a long time ago or he flew under my radar, because I don't remember him and I've been on /fringe/ for over 10 years as of last year. Was the origin of his name ever revealed?

>>8331 I think he was present on fringechan 2.0 but mostly on Mewch and Meguca where he made himself known by creating a thread with mostly only him posting sigils for over 1000 posts. >>8331 >origin of his name It was his discord name. During that period the communities were more linked for a period, with there being various Fringe related servers. Snail was pretty obnoxious on discord so if you had talked to him, you'd know who he was.
