Welcome to /eh/

Where everything is just... eh...

/eh/ is not for crying, /rnb/ is for crying.

Dear John,

How are you? It has been some time since I last ventured onto this board to post I think. I say I think, I can never be certain when it was that I last visited. I looked for my old post but didn't find it. I believe I last posted some time in either 2025 or 2024. It feels so strange to type that. The 18 years that I have been visiting this place for seem surreal to me, as if such a thing should never be capable of spanning such a time period. I feel like an old raver leaving a rave to discover its the late 2000s. At least I assume this is what they felt like.

Anyway; I notice many of our friends on this board seem to have strange posting manners. That is what tipped me off to how long it had been, as I do not recognise any of these posts or the kind of phrasing they would use. I hope I am not being too harsh here, but I wish the new Johns would show a little courtesy to us older folk.

What originally brought me here however I suspect is to echo some of the feelings I have seen the other Johns post. Lately I find myself imagining that the whole world is grey. Perhaps this is some malady that I am experiencing, but I am inclined to think it is something shared. I don't want to complain to you at length about how I am feeling or its cause, but I would like to express minor frustration and sadness. Due to the medications that I am on, I will be dealing with my emotions with a glass of tap water instead of the usual gin.

Sincerely,
John.

Dear John -
I'm great thanks for asking.
Got a job and a house.
No women though.

Has it really been 18 years?
Seems like yesterday this board became a thing.

Hello John,

I have been brought back to this place by the memory of a certain long forgotten song of the old web past, and figured I may as well check in on my thread.

I completely understand what you mean, but I fear that the unfortunate truth is that for some of us, age simply takes away our ability to do those things. Work will have your every hour, or unemployment your free resources. I have never been rich, but these days I feel as though I can do less with my income than could way back when I was a humble university student. It certainly doesn't help when life placed you out of populated regions.

I think what myself and perhaps some others are experiencing now is akin to what we experienced way back in our youth, when sites such as this made small havens for those less socially fortunate. It is just a shame that these days there is simply less stuff to do that we haven't already done to death.

>>49501
Hello to you too, John,

For me it feels both like an eternity and yesterday. The unhappy times are long ago enough to make me feel cold, but close enough to be vividly present when I close my eyes. I shut my eyes one moment and the niggertits song plays in 2008. I shut my eyes again and I am flicking through the niggertits flash page and listening to each of the little songs play on the walking character. Each one is as vivid in emotion to me at present as it is in picture, which itself makes for a rather grey feeling. The lobby room of life is well travelled it seems.

Maybe doesn't help economically, but certainly helps with mental health

The local dairy switched from wrapped blocks to a tub a couple years ago. I didn't care for this because it made the butter harder to deal with. Yesterday I went to buy butter and saw the local dairy's butter was in a wrapped block. I am pleased.

Yes, when out passing a handy food shop and along way from home.
You can buy some bread, some meat deli sliced and there will be a free spoon or knife (improvise)
Then use said spreadable cheese.
That way you don't end up with a block butter in melt in your pocket because you are not on your way home.

Write note to self stop snort snow dandruff that you puss blood out your nose for 25 minutes.

Good to hear from you

Dear John,

Sorry I forgot to mention I got sexaul assaulted by a Succubus. Early in the week.
I did get away from the Succubus. That's not the point though. You should just be able to have bland dull dreams, with no interruptions.

I've got some scripts written in what was the most popular and up-and-coming scripting language in 1999, Tcl/Tk.

Nobody really uses this scripting language anymore, it started to fall out of fashion between 2000 and 2004.

One time I was at the laundromat and had just finished adding my soap when an old man got my attention. He asked what I was putting in the washer. To most people, this would have seemed like an accusation of machine tampering but I knew what it was right away. You see, I don't bring my entire bottle of wash soap with me when I do laundry. The idea of accidentally leaving a whole bottle behind sucks. I use Persil and that stuff is not cheap. So I fill a screw top plastic jar with plenty of soap for a few loads so if I forget it, who cares? All I'm out is the jar. So I explained this to the old guy and he said he thought I was using some kind of charcoal additive or something. I shrugged, started the washer, and went outside.

Wow, I do that a lot, not just the launderette. I mean even this po key computer. Has a disposable IP and it was cheap secondhand.
Has sod all about me.
I doubt there's one cookie, let alone email, bank, sexting ( is that still a thing, I'm old and don't care )
Hey apparently a little bit of baking soda in with the washing powder.
And no I don't smoke crack, sorry to disappoint anyone.
All best anon, sound logic.

Dear John,

Waiting at a bus stop. Maybe we will there one day. Then maybe not.

Best regards

John

Hi John,

Well I just thought it was way and left it at that.
On some other news a friend of mine IRL, told of a book about concrete bus stop in soviet USSR.
The library has been heavily purged these last ten years. Although I believe friend can get me enough information to hunt down a copy.
Oh, I'm sorry to everyone I'm getting little to excited.
I'll stop there, although I have another bus stop to up load soon.

As ever
John

Hello,

I love to use Unix X-windows tools from the 90s to plot graphs of pseudo-random numbers in the form of colours, etc.

Thank you for reading.

As unintertesting as your post is, well done by the way.
It /fail(s) to incorporate cheese.

I hope you understand that its just not that particularly interesting for me.

I do not think all posts need to involve cheese, but if a thread seems to be getting too interesting, cheese should be invoked.

Whatever, though. I do not make the rules.

Oh, I'm sorry to all. I just meant for me the code would have to result in something to do with cheese or even cheesecake. To get me on board.
Best of luck to all.
