2015-11-17 at 6:07 AM UTC in How old are you and what are your plans for your life?Lol, believe it or not I'm actually familiar with "art of manliness", and while tasteful might not be the term I'd use it certainly is geared towards faggots.
The grant study is certainly interesting although it has its share of flaws. I will say the whole "bringing manly back" or "gentleman's movement" thing is not only cuckfodder but really really pathetic. I fall, in a very general sense, into the post-structuralist camp and generally consider the phenomenon of "manliness" and especially our cultural notions of the man/boy distinction to be archaic and generally harmful. But even if I didn't think that, the idea that people with penises in 2015 need some 50s themed self-help website telling them to keep journals and how to "groom" themselves is so cringeworthy, so fucking dickless, that I want to grab the author of these things by the shoulders and scream "FUCKING PUSSY" in their face until they're dripping with my saliva and then kick them in the nuts they don't actually seem to have.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2015-10-28 at 11:21 PM UTC in Night Ops - New Guy (TransHuman Edition)Hello everyone, first off just wanted to say I fully support this entire forum. The fringe forum is dying on the internet and it's good to see another one come up. I will always support these endeavors.
Who the fuck am I? I wasn't a big name on any of the older fringe forums, I mostly frequented the night ops threads back in the day but have branched out considerably. What are night ops? A lot of risk for a little reward but a whole new world of freedom. Explore areas while going unnoticed much as in urbex but sometimes this can be just for the sake of pushing one's abilities and not just to explore something. Dark clothing or camouflage is taken advantage of along with any identity concealing measures deemed necessary.
Here's an example from last night, linked to the following topic:
http://niggasin.space/forum/reinvent-yourself/40281-project-euryphaessa-stage-one
"Well, what a stupid idea. Was I really doing this???"
Hours prior, I had decided to push myself and my new limits to the extreme with a real operation and not some playful night time romp. I wanted to do something where I knew the night vision would come into play and allow me to do something I would have never been comfortable doing before. As it would happen, after all of my moving around in my lifetime I find myself living relatively close to where I once lived - the house I began operating from in the very beginning of my "career". I decided I was going to walk directly to that house from mine, cutting straight through the countryside, ravines, tree lines and stands, and whatever else might appear. No navigational aids except my ability to see - no GPS, maps, or anything else I might normally want to pull me through the darkness so I knew where I was going. No roads. No artificial lighting. Nothing.
The house was about an 8 mile drive by roadway from here so I estimated it would be roughly a 5 mile walk. Temperatures were low as well so I needed to dress appropriately. My loadout ended up like this:
Underarmor beneath,
light polypro undergarments beneath,
HECS stealth screen beneath,
full multicam uniform
Danner Terra Force low top boots
Nomex flight gloves inside Mechanix M-Pact 3s
Camelbak Woodland Bladder Pack w/2L Bladder, 1/2 full
Kershaw Camp 18 machete
Leatherman Wave multitool
Water Purification Tablets
2 Vivarin caffeine tabs
Bic Lighter
Sightmark Ghost Hunter Monocular (Night Vision)
The night vision was mostly unnecessary but I wanted to see how it would perform while under the influence of Ce6 and the result was basically wall hax but we'll get to that later. Everything else was just being geared for a long lonely night walk in the cold.
After dropping up and waiting about an hour and a half for the drops to kick in, I left in full gear, crossed the nearby highway, climbed over the fence, and ascended the brushy hillside. I could tell when even the most silent of cars were on approach because there would be a haze of light on the horizon or around corners well before they appeared. Cool effect, but it would be an issue as I pushed further into the hills and away from civilization. As I approached the top and hit steppe terrain, I looked around and marveled once again at how clear everything was. It was just like a demented day hike only I could enjoy. For laughs, I pulled out the NV monocular to have a look around.
Wow. Imagine daytime with a green tinge through a small monocular and that's pretty much what you see. Everything is visible through the tube without lack of detail which was nice. Normally this is something of a "1 and a half" gen monocular that gets the job done but isn't really high end. Now, the only gripe I had was FOV which was obviously pitiful. Anyway, playtime being over I pocketed the device and moved on.
My next obstacle was a small draw with a field in the center and a ranch house nearby. There were plenty of trees so I moved toward them to keep in the shadows. Vision in the trees was excellent and I was able to see everything just fine, maybe too fine. Paranoia was a constant factor as I kept to the darkest places possible while crossing. I felt extremely exposed and made it a point to move quickly and leave the draw. Climbing the next hill with haste, I finally got beyond the first ranch house.
The next hour was almost disappointingly uneventful. Up. Down. Up. Down. You see, the area is a big mountain valley and I was up above the valley on the steppes, which run down form the proper mountains forming foothills that creep down like huge, wide fingers. And since I was traveling down the direction of the valley, I had to cross every single one of these fucking things.
Looking back, I noticed a plane in the sky and the contrail. That was a trip. Normally you just see a flashing light up there, but because the sky was still a hazy azure between my eyes and the moon, the plane was clearly visible as was the contrail. I also scouted around to make sure I wasn't being stalked by any predators. Nothing. Moving on, the next draw brought me through yet another ranch home nested apart from everyone else. I moved past without any incident and continued climbing and descending again, over and over.
I lost track of how many of these stupid things I crossed, but I could see a treeline growing closer and closer in the distance. This treeline I knew well because I had been to it from the other side when I began operating years ago. It was sort of the beginning of the home stretch once I reached it. The fact I could see it from afar at all was pretty amazing.
Unfortunately this brings me to a weird thing about the night vision. Lights and shadows become deceptive in relation to distance. I guess because I'm not so used to everything being so bright or visible, things look closer. I thought I was getting close to the treeline but unbeknownst to me I still had a couple more hills to cross over first. I also thought there was a house I didn't know about sitting in the treeline itself because I could see outdoor lights passing through the trees from a distance with intensity. This makes it difficult to judge how far away lights are if you're unable to see the object it's attached to.
As I drew closer, I started to have my opening thoughts on this whole matter. This was just fucking crazy. For one, this was a pretty intense walk in general and my legs could feel the strain of the ascents and descents. Second, I had just made it to this point like it was nothing. I wouldn't have even been able to see where I was going hardly before and progress would have been much slower and more cautious being half blind. The moon was out, yes, but I've been in cloud dispersed moonlight before and it's never this generous on vision. If this sounds like a boring story so far, it's because the night vision basically took the danger completely out of the operation.
Anyway, I reached the treeline. Now I was lost. The lights were confusing and something didn't feel right. I knew that standing on the other side, I would often see a white house on a nearby hillside to the left of me but standing here, there was nothing on the right. Did I overshoot my goal? Was I too far downhill? I could see city lights but the intensity was again deceptive. I felt roughly a mile away from them but I also felt too close to the mountains above me. I decided to just push through the heavy trees and see where I was.
This was just as easy. I could see in the trees much better than expected and could even see so well that I could cross over the shallow waters in the shadows by stepping over the stones which I could see just fine. Yet again no animals nearby to my knowledge. On the other side I could finally see the outdoor lights and the building they were attached too. Fuck. I had overshot my goal area by almost exactly a mile. I knew the building I was looking at and also knew I had to walking toward town to do now.
This was a boring exercise of walking and walking some more, crossing the occasional stream and barbed wire fence while trying not to spook any cattle, alerting anyone of my presence. Finally, I reached a familiar dirt road I knew would lead to my old base of operations. It was a road I haven't walked down in many years and I was unsure how to feel. Triumphant for sure, having done something so incredible and yet it felt so mundane. This wasn't the most action packed read, right? That's kind of how I felt for me too, even walking down that road. It almost felt too easy. It was physically demanding as fuck but otherwise relatively effortless. After getting past the "Am I really doing this???" phase it was smooth sailing.
I approached my old home from the road and just looked at it from a distance in the cover of a wooden fence. Man, the memories. This is why I chose this destination. It had been almost a decade since my last break-fall landing after sliding off the metal roof - my deployment of choice back then. In some ways I cursed the night vision. The glory felt spoiled in a way. I couldn't even look up and see the milky way that I used to gaze at out here because the sky was too bright and felt more like twilight to me. In fact, everything felt alien and unfamiliar because I never had so much detail back then. None the less, I knew I had accomplished something that I never would have dreamed of back then, that no matter how this felt, I have greatly surpassed who I used to be. Granted, having less muscle mass on me like I used to back then would have been fantastic for those fucking hills. But I made it. I had walked 6 miles through barren nothingness non-chalante and brought things full circle. Boring, maybe, but I felt like a fucking badass.
I called up my apprentice to pick me up above on the main road and waited behind cover staring into the city lights below, a sight that used to greet me before every operation as I'd walk the dark fields between this house and there. I decided then and there that the next time I used the night vision drops, it would have to be for something incredible.
Mission accomplished.

2015-10-21 at 5:39 PM UTC in Would you shoot a 5-year old kid in the head for $1 BILLION
Sure, I'd even go so far as to say you'd be morally remiss if your chose not to rather than collecting the money and donating it towards something useful, although it would be understandable. You can save a lot of 5 year olds (and others) with a billion dollars.
Hmm, I wonder how many starving third world children I could save if I killed you, emptied your accounts and sold your possessions, then used the money to travel there and give direct aid in order to ensure maximum efficiency.
You know you're never going to give more than a small fraction to charity or state programs, which are horribly inefficient.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2015-10-20 at 5:37 AM UTC in What type of assault rifle should I buy?yeah, a clip doesn't enclose the bullets, like the mauser c96's stripper clip
seriously though, explicitly asking for suggestions for an 'assault rifle' makes it sound like you got the idea from videogames or spree shooting news coverage... it's more of a buzzword than a category of rifle nowadays

2015-08-28 at 7:05 AM UTC in Why minimum wage is bad.Well I was addressing your accusation that minimum wage is fascist, not wether or not it's a good policy in general. I'll assume you've given up on establishing that.
micromanage
"micromanage" is just a pointless slur that doesn't mean anything more than "some level of management I don't personally like".and regulate transactions between free individuals
Yeah, most people approve of regulation of transactions between people. The great sacred tenant of libertarianism that is property law requires regulation of transactions between individuals.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2015-08-28 at 5:40 AM UTC in Why minimum wage is bad.
In a kind of world where policies set by politicians dictate at what rate a business compensates its employees
It was a rhetorical question. There is no world where fascism means politicians are self interested because that's not what fascism means.well unions factor into it, too, because they get more dues from higher paid employees. There are lots of different groups colluding in the endemic corruption that festers within all huge bureaucracies.
I am all fucked up on etiz, hope I remember this tomorrow
But this still doesn't explain why minimum wage entails fascism or why it's a bad thing. Hitler himself could support minimum wage but that doesn't change the fact that it's good policy. Unions making a dime off higher paid employees (although I'm not sure there are any powerful unions representing minimum wage employees in america anymore) does exactly nothing to expose an issue with the policy itself.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2015-08-28 at 4:36 AM UTC in Why minimum wage is bad.
Minimum wage hurts investment and youth employment. Its not even debateable. If you want to increase domestic consumption of the lower class to think theyre better off at the expense of people who can actually grow the economy and people who want to enter it and gain skills then fuck it, go ahead
Yeah man, you're right, these proles just _think_ earning a living wage is a good thing. In reality they'd just be losing out by not struggling to make ends meet, dying earlier, eating worse, and being generally less happy. What fools are they to imagine literally dying from poverty isn't somehow actually working to their advantage.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2015-08-09 at 3:39 AM UTC in I raped ashleyNo, not really. But I followed her around the play and I sat behind her, kicking her seat every few seconds and making her stumble a bit. I proceeded to do this for 3 hours. I pulled her chair close to me and started breathing down her neck. It was actually fun as hell, because I knew in that 3 hour period I could piss her off so fucking badly and she couldn't do anything to stop it. Admittedly it turned me on a bit because I got to make her body unwillingly jiggle to drama show music while I blow my breath at the back of her head. Then I asked her how her grandma died and she told me not to talk to her again. When kicking her chair I would notice her back going up and down slightly and I realized I made her so mad she was actually hyperventilating.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2015-07-04 at 5:43 PM UTC in Shell script threadHere is a shitty script I wrote to help automate my backup process. It's meant to be used in conjunction with rsync. Say you have a folder backup it will make a copy of it called backup_MM_YY for versioning. If it sees that there is no version for the current month one will be created. You specify how many versions and it will trim the old ones.
I did not realize bash functions couldn't handle named parameters and I can't bring myself to care enough to make the pieces more portable.
sortByTimeStampAndPurge () {
dir="/home/macfag/" # dir to work in
folder="gaypr0n" # file / folder base name to work with: baseName_mm_yy
curMonth=$(date +"%m")
curYear=$(date +"%y")
versions=3 # how many revisions to keep
lastMonth=""
lastYear=""
cd $dir
# firsts make array of folder names
i=0
files[0]=""
for f in ${folder}_*
do
files[i]=$f
((i++))
done
# sort them by actual timestamp
for (( i = (${#files[@]}-1); i >= 0; i-- )); do
for (( j = 1; j <= $i; j++ )); do
if [ $(stat -c %Y ${files[$j-1]}) -gt $(stat -c %Y ${files[$j]}) ]
then
tmp=${files[$j-1]}
files[$j-1]=${files[$j]}
files[$j]=$tmp
