Yes. We need to do something about this. Wish I had my old pasta and gore folder, but that is long gone. These are troubling times

I've been here since when they used to call reddit, gaia and ebaums. You are small time. Here's another protip: use the 'sage' function.

4chan, and general digital subcultures, declined once they began to enmesh with mainstream culture. With popularity came corporate influence, normalfags, social media and centralization. Now, the vanity and narcissism of the outside world infects every corner of the web. The digital landscape has also become creatively sterile. 4chan produces nothing interesting anymore.

One more thing on centralization and loss of creativity: Nowadays posts are constant references to content on normalfag media such as instagram, facebook, twatter, reddit. The content of those websites is garbage, so that garbage comes here to be eaten, shat out, and then eaten again.

The internet is shit. 4chan is also shit. moot says it best himself indirectly. https://www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2012/12/18/4chans-moot-laments-the-death-of-internet-culture/

>where your brain has to catch up to the typing speed.

This right here is one of my limiting factors. When I really hit my stride, my hands cant go as fast as my thoughts- so I end up sticking to the old mechanical devil.

I love the physicality of paper, though. There's nothing quite like a softbound notebook with a good grain of paper inside it.

>But the problems of legibility, typing it up after, speed, hand cramps, etc are all pretty annoying. It’s a thrill.

A thrill I'm probably going to take up again, once this challenge is won. I cannot wait, desu. This deadlines stuff is as exhilarating as it is maddening.
Do you use a fountain pen regularly? I used to do calligraphy ages ago, but Im not sure what to buy for an entry-level fountain pen.
Any pointers?
