all the stuff i would use a calendar for, i only write on the left side. i just make a plan of the things i am trying to do that day. i roughly try to write it next to the hour were i intend to do it. especially the left side does not have to be time-accurate. it might be, but on some days i have no idea so i just write it at the top, left of the 0.

now the final step is that when i do something, i don't write it on the right side, that is too cumbersome. instead i make a quick circle around it and then i draw a line to when i did it on the right.

i noticed something in my efforts that was always missing from my planning: on some days i would not do the things i had plans, because i thought of way better things to do. i would make the executive decision to make even better use of my time and change plans mid-day. i wanted my calendar to reflect this in a celebratory way.

then some days i would look at my calendar and it would depress me that i got so little done that i had planned but then i remembered what i actually did (this was before i invented the 2-columns) and i was struck with my own stupidity: WAIT A MOMENT, WHAT AM I DISAPPOINTED FOR, I DID SOMETHING WAY BETTER THEN I HAD PLANNED AND MADE EVEN BETTER USE OF MY TIME AND I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT IT AND FELT BAD FOR NO REASON! WTF?!

with this harmony of the left and the right side i thought it was easier to leave room for being spontaneous because too much planning makes everyone a dull boy i'd assume.

>which needs to be repartitioned and everything re-installed and reconfigured which will take a while

i remember the days where i installed windows and installed all the programs and set up the browser and changed all the settings in all the places and in all the programs and just hating the process.

now using linux whenever i set up a new computer, i just copy over the entire homefolder and down to the gadgets on the desktop everything is how i want it.

i hated windows so much (and it is so much worse now). i curse them for having no respect for the user whatsoever.

decisionhelper

i've finally managed to do something i have been wishing for for a long time. i wrote a program (well 3 seperate simple linux bash scripts that i call program but of course this is as ghetto as it gets) that decides for me on what to do next.

until i started playing with this i had no idea what a crazy overcomplicated maze my decisionmaking process is.

see i noticed that i like to spend way too much brainpower on finding completely meaningless afterthoughts, which kind of keeps me using my brain and deepens my understanding and broadens the range of my analysis but then i focus so much on tiny differences that i lose sight of what i was actually about to do, which is trying to decide what to do next; searching for more little advantages and tiny synergies that just waste my energy and make me feel exhausted for accomplishing nothing.

first script helps me automatically create a textfile in a specific folder. i give the thing a name, i assign it a priority value between 1 and 9 and a rough estimate how many minutes it will take. the txt gets created, opens automatically and i can write notes underneath the few variables i assigned at the top.

second script is where the magic happens. when i execute it, the script asks me how many minutes i have time. lets say i have 18 minutes until i have to go somewhere. it then searches through all the text files what i wrote into the MINUTES variable that takes 18 minutes or less (without including those that take longer). so now i have a list of txt-files that are within the time i have. the files appear on the list as many times as i have set in PRIORITY; this means something with priority 2 will appear twice on the list. now from this list one txt files gets randomly selected and this txt files opens for me in my default txt editor called kwrite. this way the more important things have a higher chance of being picked.

the reason this is genius: i circumvent my awful decisionmaking process. i can just say GIMME ONE! and POOF instantly one file opens and i can work on it.

third script is when i am done with a txt file and i want to remove it from the pool, the script just asks me it's number (i just have a counter that goes up so that each txt i create has a unique number i can search for), i write the number, the script finds the textfile which has the number and moves it into the completed folder itself without me having to juggle files.

this is exceptionally convenient to use because i found a way to execute these scripts from my desktop-gadget. see the three buttons on the bottom left? (plus sign, playbutton and red x). i might change the playbutton into a dice symbol but this is wonderful convenient.

forgot the screenshot.

i kind of like having the moment of creation separated from the moment of execution like that because that way, i give my subconscious a chance to have insights and daydreams about it. because...

...one way to come up with good ideas is to think hard and another way to come up with good ideas is to not think at all.

Your upset mood is showing behind all that "ultimate right" rhetoric. Why can't you speak honestly? "She didn't express love towards me and I feel hurt and unwanted". See, I did it for you. Truth heals, as Jesus said.

Some obscure channel on Youtube uploaded this old classic TV movie in High-res 720p which is really cool because in the past we had to rely on the old shitty 480p VHS rips. Although cheesy it was an entertaining movie to watch.

>Some obscure channel on Youtube uploaded this old classic
Actually yt posts old movies sometimes if you search for them.

Some have ads, but some don't. Try your luck anons.

>>76411
I use an online media ripper to grab anything I desire uploaded to Youtube, one way you can simply bypass the forced site Ads. Plenty of options when it comes to open-source online media downloading software. Just make sure you have the videos encoded correctly (I choose the most common standard x264 AAC mp4 formats because those will play on almost anything today including modern and older television sets).

Lots of classic movies here, bump to keep this thread alive.

Ok, and?

I've actually watched some of his videos before. While I don't agree with everything he says and sometimes he comes off as an idiot, he's not that bad. Honestly he can be amusing at times.

proof?

Maybe. His approval ratings were slipping big time, rightly so over the stupid Iran war for the Greater Israel project. Even if you are a die hard conservative you know damn well this is not in America's interest and will have a huge negative impact on our economy and way of life long into the future. Was it a set-up to boost his ratings and support for the war? Maybe.

It literally looks super photoshopped. THe fuck u talking about?

Bumping this thread up. Keep it alive 4ever!

Is the OP/Depvana owner still here?

Agree, far better than the discord spam and endless AI porn threads.

Long term plans or current plans for the site OP?

Thanks guys, yeah I'm still here from time to time.

There has been lots of improvements with more to come. I will be making an announcement soon with status and long term outlook for what will be Depvana v2.0.

In the mean time, keep the feedback flowing and don't hesitate to recommend the site to others if you like it. Cheers,

this shit sucks, why even bother paying for hosting if noone uses it

No. Dehumanizing 1.4 billion people as "insects," "not human," or the "least competent humanoids on earth" is factually wrong and lazy thinking. Every ethnic group on the planet has produced both extraordinary achievements and horrific failures. Han Chinese (the vast majority in mainland China) are no exception—they're fully human, with the same biological capacity for competence, morality, cruelty, and innovation as anyone else. Broad racial essentialism like this collapses under scrutiny. Let's cut through the rant and look at the actual evidence on your specific claims, without sugarcoating or excusing real problems.

Real problems you mentioned (with kernels of truth)

You're not inventing these out of thin air. China does have systemic horrors rooted in its political system, history, and incentives under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP):

• Food safety and baby formula: The 2008 melamine scandal was deliberate fraud for profit—companies faked protein tests in diluted milk, sickening hundreds of thousands of infants. Gutter oil (recycled sewer grease used in cooking) has been a documented underground problem for decades, though Beijing has run repeated crackdowns. Soil contamination from decades of heavy industry is severe in parts of the country, contributing to why China imports massive amounts of food despite being a top producer. These aren't isolated; they reflect weak rule of law, local officials chasing targets over safety, and a culture of cover-ups.
• Shoddy construction and "ghost cities": "Tofu-dreg" projects (cheap, rushed builds that crumble) are real—collapses, sinking skyscrapers, and poorly maintained infrastructure happen. Many planned cities from the 2000s–2010s sat empty due to overbuilding driven by local government debt and real-estate speculation. Some have indeed degraded faster than expected because corners were cut on materials and oversight.
• Zero-COVID extremes: In 2022, authorities did weld doors shut and lock people in apartments during outbreaks. Tragedies like the Urumqi apartment fire (where residents couldn't escape) killed people. It was authoritarian overkill that treated citizens like livestock to control a virus.
• Demographics and social horrors: The one-child policy (1979–2015) created a massive gender imbalance—tens of millions of "missing women" from sex-selective abortions and infanticide. This fuels bride shortages, human trafficking, and village-level exploitation of women. It's a direct result of backward cultural son-preference amplified by state policy.
• Environmental and cultural destruction: Industrial pollution has toxified rivers and farmland. Overfishing by Chinese fleets (often illegal or destructive) has devastated global stocks. The wildlife trade—shark fins, tiger parts, bear bile—for traditional medicine drives poaching and extinctions. The CCP's Cultural Revolution (1960s–70s) and ongoing censorship did bulldoze millennia of tradition for ideological purity. Mao's famines killed tens of millions; modern echoes persist in state-driven waste and hoarding for "food security."

These are not Western propaganda. Independent reporting, leaked data, satellite imagery, and Chinese dissidents document them. The CCP's system—top-down control, no free press, incentives for officials to lie and suppress bad news—makes quality control, accountability, and long-term planning worse than in open societies. Rapid urbanization (moving ~600 million people to cities in 40 years) amplified shoddy shortcuts.

What your rant gets wrong (the overgeneralization)

• Not "appearance only" or universal incompetence: China didn't fake its high-speed rail (world's largest network), EV/battery dominance, solar panel production, or smartphone manufacturing scale. It leads in patent filings in some fields and has a massive STEM workforce. Billions have been lifted from poverty. These aren't just "flashy lights"—they're functional systems built by millions of competent engineers, workers, and managers. Incidents like escalator accidents or brake-pedal ignorance happen (bad driving is a noted issue), but they're not the norm everywhere. Major cities have modern plumbing, airports, and subways that move millions daily.
• Not unique to "Mainland Chinese" DNA or character: Taiwan (majority Han Chinese, democratic) has high-tech industry, rule of law, and safe consumer products. Overseas Chinese communities often outperform averages in education and income in the US, Canada, etc. Singapore (multi-ethnic but Chinese-led) is a first-world success. The difference? Governance and institutions, not blood. The CCP's Leninist system selects for loyalty, crushes feedback, and rewards short-term GDP over safety—that's the rot, not some inherent "barbarism" gene.
• Exaggerations weaken the point: Not every building lacks plumbing or "disintegrates after a few years." Not all food is sewer oil. Not every driver ignores brakes. China produces and consumes vast amounts of safe food domestically; imports are driven by demand and economics, not total soil collapse. "Hoarding while neighbors starve" isn't current policy—it's more about strategic reserves amid global supply fears. The "hunt to extinction" and fishing issues are real but driven by profit and superstition, not some unique evil.

Bottom line on self-governance and baby formula

The 2008 formula poisonings (and echoes in other scandals) prove the system fails at basic safety for something as critical as infant nutrition. Profit + weak enforcement + fear of reporting bad news = corners cut. That's why trust evaporated and imports surged. But post-2008 reforms, heavy state oversight, and market pressure have improved things—domestic brands now dominate sales again because many parents accept the risk for price/availability. Failures persist because the incentives (authoritarianism + guanxi networks) haven't fully changed.

You can criticize the CCP's track record harshly—its body count, surveillance state, and environmental recklessness are among the worst in modern history—without pretending 1.4 billion individuals are subhuman. Many Chinese people hate these same problems and risk prison to expose them. The "horror and evil" you describe is real in the system's outputs, but it's the predictable result of centralized power without accountability, not proof that Chinese people are uniquely incapable of better. History shows populations under bad governance act badly; give them better rules and feedback loops, and outcomes improve (see South Korea, Japan post-WWII, or Taiwan).

If your view is "the CCP and its enablers are a disaster," that's defensible with evidence. The rest is just rage-fueled stereotyping that ignores counter-examples and human complexity. Truth-seeking requires precision, not blanket contempt.
