/jp/ - Otaku Culture

It broke your wireless internet cable? What?

Take a photograph.

>>10120759
In before that "Wireless network isn't connected" error message.

>>10120759
Yeah. We're hicks so it's like- up in the sky where the other wires are. There's no power either.

dont they have internet in mcdonalds?

When I read "computer" I think "desktop computer", so when you say you "packed up" your computer and took it to Starbucks, is my mental image of a nerd sitting at a table and nonchalantly hooking up a monitor/keyboard/mouse to a computer accurate?

Best of luck OP!

>>10120764
Dude there are so many people someone might see me and think I'm a creep. I'll take one once some people start leaving.
>>10120769
Yeah but that's farther away from my house.
>>10120771
Haha! No, sorry I meant laptop. I tend to use both words interchangeably.

>>10120787
>Dude there are so many people someone might see me and think I'm a creep
Who cares? As long as you're not doing anything illegal, the opinion of normalfags doesn't matter.

>>10120827
Do I have to...?

>>10120839
Yes.

>>10120839
But...
fine.

sieg heil dude

Back in 2007 there was an ice storm where I live and I had no power for a week. It was too icy to go anywhere and I heard most everywhere was closed anyway. I spent the days walking back and forth in my house. Then at 6 PM I would take a lot of nyquil in order to pass out, then wake up and do it all over again.

>>10120938

>>10120865
I lucked out. Not so many people around anymore once I decided to peek.

>>10120968
I remember that blizzard. I was having sex with my girlfriend, nerd.

>>10120968
I'm so sorry, dude. That must have been horrible.

>>10120968
We /jp/sies have been through some shit man.

>>10120984
I was having sex with my two chibi otaku girlfireds, losr.

Did you order anything OP

>>10120982
>iPad 2

>>10120968
When I was in middle school we lost our internet connection for some reason for the entire summer, so I bought all of the Wheel of Time books (that were published at that time (9, I think)) and read through most of them. I had two or three left when school started, I think.

>>10120982
Totally recommend the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino.

>>10120997
Yeah I had to otherwise I couldn't take advantage of their wifi. It was really hard.
>>10120998
It comes in handy, actually.

>>10121020
Unfortunately it also gives away your exact location. +42° 0' 13.20", -88° 0' 25.80".

>>10121001
That's really cute.

>>10120982
>>10121026
Oh god I live right near there.

Maybe I'll go there now. But I won't let you know who I am, OP.

>>10121026
Dude sweet.
>>10121019
Nah I was really lame and got an apple juice... The cashier looked at me like I was retarded.

>>10121031
Just go sit next to OP and stare at him.

>>10121031
Look for the guy with the iPad and apple juice.

>>10121019
i dont think i could find a drink with a more homo name at a gay bar

>>10121046
We're coming to get you, nerd.

>>10121040
I finished my applejuice and my iPad is in my backpack. He'll never find me!
>>10121035
No please don't. I'll probably start to cry.

Do you think they would deliver pizzas to a Starbucks?

>>10121044
But it's really good, it's got nice chocolaty chunks.

>>10121046
New plan: stare at everyone inside Starbucks until one starts crying.

>>10121064
hahaha

>>10121057
just look for the scared nerd

Go to your library dude.

>>10121057
You'll never find me! I could just make a run for it right now!

Ask the cashier if she saw some nerd buying apple juice. Ask her what she thought of him.

>>10121067
but then you'll have no internet

he's not going to go. another /jp/er wouldn't go outside to meet another /jp/er. what's the point?

>>10121083
Maybe the lightening struck his house so he was going outside to seek internet too?

>>10121072
That's okay. I'd rather have no internet than have someone stare at me.

>>10121089
You're a nerd who ordered apple juice in a Starbucks. Not only are the patrons glancing and staring at you, but the employees are probably having a giggle about you as well.

>Nah I was really lame and got an apple juice... The cashier looked at me like I was retarded.

"Illinois"
You should go visit Thad's jail.

>>10121095
I bet they've stopped talking about me. This was awhile ago.

Please no bullying

best thread all week 10/10

I would give up my NEEThood right now to work as the CCTV operator that handles that Starbucks.

I know not all security cameras are watched live, but I would love to watch that nerd shuffle in, awkwardly ask for an apple juice, then sit down and go on 4chan in the social hub of the Western world.

Stop making fun of OP. There's nothing wrong with ordering an apple juice.

>>10121136
You're cruel. I think I did pretty well today. I confidently ordered my apple juice and I didn't start falling apart until AFTER I sat down.
Joke's on you.

>>10121141
Go to bed, OP

I went there once and bought chocolate milk and I think some sort of pastry.

but, why the fuck apple juice and not a coffee like everyone?

>>10121156
not everyone likes coffee

holu fuck are you ok op

>>10121141
If you're 10, maybe.

It's like the My Little Pony fans who order Happy Meals for the toys, but it's fine because Happy Meals are for everyone since everyone can be happy! ^_^

>>10121156
He might be limiting his caffeine intake. I only drink one caffeinated beverage per week, if not less.

>>10121156
OP is a special snowflake.

>>10121161
Which is why you don't go to a coffee house.

The Wi-Fi is supposed to be an added benefit for paying customers, not the sole reason you go. If you go to a coffee house and buy apple juice, you deserve to be mocked by everyone there.

Don't worry OP, nobody really cares if you act weird in Starbucks. They're too busy drinking overpriced beverages.

>>10121156
Because I didn't want coffee.
>>10121166
Stop being mean. Apple juice is really good ok.
>>10121151
In a bit but that wasn't me.

>>10121166
Happy meals are on the children's menu, while juice is something that everyone enjoys. Especially old people. Senior citizens just love their juice.

>>10121156
Because he's a Macfag and thought "Apple Juice" meant Tim Cook's semen.

>>10121174
He bought something, didn't he? So he's a paying customer. It's not like he ordered some water and nothing else.

hey op

I have internet in my house. If you come we can have a lot of fun together.

>>10121182
>>10121194
Thanks guys.
>>10121187
I'm using a PC that's sitting on my lap. You can't play Touhou on a Mac unless you have a macport.

I like Apple Juice too, OP. I also like Orange Juice and Chocolate Milk （　´∀｀）

>>10121176
Funny you say that. I have a Starbucks two minutes away from my house, and I regularly go there just to laugh at everyone. Remember, people like me are judging you, and we are everywhere the moment you step out of your house. Nobody is safe.

You're too cute and innocent /jp/.

I'm scared that some normalfag will find out and abuse you.

>>10121214
Are you implying that you are better than the people you see?

Btw the guy never came to look me in the eye.

>>10121227
Yes. It's important that you are aware of the fact that I consider you inferior to me. Just experience the emotion of knowing that fully. Isn't it scary? That's what happens.

>>10121235
I'm not as scared of you as I am scared of other people who try to approach and talk to me. As long as you don't actually make contact with me and laugh secretly, I'll be happy.

>>10121227
No, he was watching you from afar because he was too scared to approach you.

>>10121249
I am talking to you in my imaginary world. It's just as real. Think of it being a different you in another timeline being talked to.

If you're curious as to what I'm telling you in this world, it's something along the lines of you being trash that needs to die as soon as possible.

>>10121266
Okay, I will.

>>10121251

I would love to approach a /jp/sie in public, sit down next to him and start talking.

Just to see what he would do.

You do realize that their WiFi is logging all the info you're transmitting and, at best, will use it to profit out of you, right?

I think we all know what will happen in the worst case scenario.

>>10120913

>>10121269
You don't have to go out and do it. In fact, it's preferable if you just kept that painful thought in mind until death came for you naturally.

Just call your internet company and wait for them to fix it. Read a book or something. They have internet at public libraries too.

My internet's max download speed is 15Mbps. Is that okay?

>>10121271
Sorry to disappoint, but /jp/ is filled with normal people. In fact, the majority is.

>>10121168
I can't imagine what this would be like. I consider 4-6 cups of coffee or tea a day to be normal.

>>10121156
Apple juice is easier to order than Coffee. There's all kinds of Coffee with fancy names. Ordering Apple juice is quick and efficient.

>>10121269
Please don't listen to him. He is being possessed by evil spirits right now. Please don't kill yourself, okay? Please. I am your friend and I need you.

>>10121296
But it's harder for them to serve. No one every orders apple juice, so the staff aren't used to serving it.
You're burdening the staff and everyone behind you in line, just because you couldn't say "I'd like a grande americano, please."

>>10121291
Crossboarder please go

>>10121320
It's not very difficult to grab some juice out of the fridge and give it to a customer. I'm sure there are lots of kids who want apple juice so the staff hands those out on occasion.

Ordering a coffee on the other hand is very overwhelming, you're thrown on the spot and have to pick a coffee from a whole list of weird names that have no indication of what is in it.

>>10121320
Speaking of grande. I hate their new size. I liked the old "grande" size better, the grande is the new fucking venti its too much coffee I never asked for so much coffee

I hate the names, and as soon as you learn them they change what they actually mean. Fuck starbucks. I always order Tall now.

Also, Americano taste gross hot water + espresso ew

>>10121327
I'm only giving you the truth. Have you spoken with anybody on this board outside of cute little threads that are made? I've contacted over 100 people on /jp/, and every single one was a normal. I just concluded that all the truNEETs never give out any information or attempt to contact anybody. It's also the atmosphere of the board. It reaks of normals.

>>10121348
I know a NEET from /jp/ but he's not a truNEET, he hates being one.

>>10121277

ITT: 'Sup OP?

>>10121348
/jp/ expert (has contacted over 100 /jp/sies)

>>10121331
Fine, if you'd like to look at it from that angle, what kind of adult walks into a Starbucks and orders apple juice? One that deserves a disapproving glance from a coffee shop drone, at least.

>>10121345
I hate their goddamn size naming schemes too. I'm always tempted to just say "give me a medium americano," but I end up saying "grande" instead, and I die a little inside each time.

Do you like black coffee? Americanos really aren't that far removed from regular black coffee, not sure why you'd dislike them if you aren't some sugar-fiend who orders "mocha double half frappes."

>>10121386
Parents order for their kids all the time, so the answer to your question would be: plenty.

>>10121363
How would they profit from knowing he's a pedophile? It isn't very marketable unless they blackmail him.

>>10121399
Parents have kids trailing behind them in line, and tend to look a bit old and mature.
Most certainly neither are true of the OP.

>>10121441
The fact remains that plenty of adults order apple juice.

>>10121447
I LIEK THE APPEL JOOS

>>10121454
Don't we all?

>>10121465
Indeed we do, Anonymous. Indeed we do.

>>10121447
Plenty of adults are pedophiles, that does not mean you should not be looked at disapprovingly if you walk into a Starbucks while wearing a Kodomo no Jikan tshirt.

>>10121492
I don't think that is a very fair comparison to make.

I am so fucking tired of you people pushing your anti apple juice agenda on /jp/.

FACT: Apple juice is one of the most common fruit juices in the world,
FACT: Apple juice contains various mineral nutrients, including boron, which may promote healthy bones
FACT: Research suggests that apple juice increases acetylcholine in the brain, possibly resulting in improved memory

OP here. I didn't realize that ordering an apple juice was such a big deal. I sort of just sat back and let this derail.
But seriously, I'll order coffee tomorrow, okay?

>>10121509
Order Apple Juice. Apple Juice is good and I'm going to order one the next time I go out. I'm gonna get my mom to buy me a gallon of it too! Don't listen to those normals.

>>10121509
Don't conform to society and order coffee! Keep ordering apple juice and stick it to the man!

>>10121509
Don't let them bully you, OP. Be proud of who you are.

>>10121513
>>10121514
Maybe you guys are right. Maybe I DON'T have to drink the coffee. Maybe I CAN proudly drink the apple juice. Thanks guys.

what is OP was a cute girl sitting inside Starbucks with a backpack, drinking applejuice and browsing /jp/? how would you approach her?

>>10121527
grab her and run for it

>>10121527
I'd complement her on her choice of beverages.

>>10121527
Use my heightened male muscle mass to steal her iPad and run away.

>>10121527
take him to the toilet and make him suck my dick

>>10121499
It's a perfectly fair comparison to make.
Your whole argument is based around the fact that a significant number of people in the world fulfill X criteria, while my counterargument is that that can be true while the proportion of Starbucks customers that the average Starbucks employee interacts with that fulfill X criteria can still be significantly low.

>>10121509
It's ok, we just like arguing. Don't take /jp/ so seriously.
You probably should order coffee, though.

>>10121518
No don't listen to them, they're the autism. Wouldn't you rather blend in to social situations than stick out like a sore, autistic thumb for no reason at all?

>>10121527
I'd respect her boundaries and let her enjoy her coffee in pieces.

OP is over-thinking it: sure, there may be some people who think 'oh dear, that guy seems creepy', but anyone who isn't in a high-school mentality doesn't do anything about it to the 'creep' because it's a waste of fucking time.

Because this thought of 'creepy individual' isn't relevant to any action or process in life, he won't be remembered, so long as he isn't (1) doing some sort of high-profile creepiness [playing eroge, having an autistic fit over drink preparation, physically smelly, etc.] (2) going to the same place repeatedly, and becoming a creepy part of the décor, as if he were a portrait of a sad clown or something (3) is going to the coffee shop in a clichéd small town where everyone knows everybody else.

To be memorable in a big city, you have to be one hell of a nutcase. Most people are too caught up in their existence as a pursuit of goals or commodities that you're quickly forgotten.

>>10121605
>going to the same place repeatedly, and becoming a creepy part of the décor, as if he were a portrait of a sad clown or something

It's almost like the real life equivalent of being a famous tripfag.

I used to go to Starbucks whenever I wanted to drink in public and browse the internet. I'd just buy a bottle of Tropicana and drink some of it, then I'd go into the bathroom and pour a few shots of vodka. Then I'd hole up in some corner and get drunk while browsing /a/ and /v/

Moral of the story: if someone with a laptop is seated in a corner such that no one can see what he is doing, he is probably looking at kiddie porn

Anyway after a while they caught on and started giving me dirty looks even when I started putting money in the tip jar to bribe them. Maybe they found out I was downloading Rustle doujins off of their wifi I dunno.

Also they started doing something which slowed down my torrents to a snail's pace so I had to clear out and find a new spot. I squatted in a hipster cafe a for a few months before find a new home at a dive punk rock bar. I had just started playing Touhou; the bartender and the usual drunks that made love to the slot machines every afternoon with their welfare checks got a real kick out of me owning Rumia and Cirno on easy modo. Marisa is a real favourite amongst crust punks, apparently.

>>10121699
>get drunk while browsing /a/ and /v/.
stopped reading there

>>10121605
>(2)
Emphasis on the creepy bit. It really depends on what the enployees and the other regulars and rich patrons think of you.

If OP spends his afternoon sipping apple juice and writing short stories about the Tragic Adventures of Ray-Mu and Melissa he would be quickly accepted by his bohemian brethren. If it was an independent cafe he might start getting free drinks or invites to basement shows

If OP's stories about Ray-mu and Melissa involve hot futanari dickings he can expect cold shoulders and maybe police attention if they find out (and the baristas will find out)

>>10121704
I was 19. Don't judge.

>>10121732
And you still misuse spoiler tags and act like a complete retard. I'll stop judging once you stop.

Why is this entire thread making fun of OP because he ordered apple juice?
What exactly is wrong with apple juice?

>>10121774
it's corn syrup + water

Only amerifats think it's "appley"

Seriously. i can't stomach it unless I dilute 9:1, water: apple juice

>>10121748
Welcome to the new /jp/. Fuck off to /bun/ or whatever.

>>10121774
>apple juice

>>10121774
It's the weekend so lots of normals are on.

>apple juice

where is the cute OP?

>>10121785
i make apple juice from actual orchard picked apples that i pick myself also i planted the tree

ill fuck you in the ass

This brings up a serious question.

Is it really safe to use public wifi to download loli and torrent large files?

I don't want to use my home network to download loli, and my brother uses most of our bandwidth so I have to download my character albums somewhere else.

Can I seriously get caught? I mean, I don't think the bar I'm at is owned and run by smart people.

I wouldn't go to this place, if only not to have to abide by their really fucking gay naming system for coffee.

I wish they just had a chart that said "coffee #1, #2, #3" and so on, with an explanation of what each one is under it.

>>10121880
But once you understand it, you'll be "in with the in crowd". Doesn't that sound nice?

>>10121880
I agree, I don't understand why they had to name everything in Italian, some things aren't even Italian nor make sense like "Demi" what the fuck

>>10121865
This is serious, please respond

>>10121865
In my opinion, it's not worth the risk.

>>10121865
Anyone can see what you are doing if you are using torrents.

>>10121905
While it's easy to see your traffic, you're not exactly identifiable. I'd say don't check your email or post anything using your real name.

They also wouldn't be moitoring you in real time or anything, so unless you were there for a full week,

>>10121936

You can see other people's bittorrent traffic if you're on the same network?

Please how? Or were you just talking about how all the other peers connected to the same tracker can see your public IP?

>>10121899
It adds an air of class and sophistication, plus you get to think you're experiencing a different culture even though a café au lait in France is completely different to a café au lait in North America.

The problem is that if you just called the drinks "coffee with a bit of milk", it wouldn't justify paying $4 for it. Like a lot of food and drink, coffee becomes depressingly simple when you figure out how it's made. You need to think there's some mysterious process that goes on, that you couldn't possibly operate one of those easy-to-use machines yourself, otherwise why would you be paying so much money for a cup of what is mostly hot water?

>>10121953
Packet sniffing. You may recall a few years ago there was some drama because Facebook sent its cookies over HTTP in plaintext, and someone wrote a Firefox extension that made it trivial to copy that cookie and access someone else's account.

>>10121953
>Or were you just talking about how all the other peers connected to the same tracker can see your public IP?

That. I'm not sure what you are concerned about when you say getting caught. I mean, I don't know if what you are asking about doing is legal where you live. But if you are doing something sensitive you shouldn't be using torrents.

>>10121976
That's not a problem. Your public Ip is just connected to that store.

>>10121975
This would be the real issue, but it's also extremely unlikely that anyone would bother or give a shit.

I'd just say don't worry about it. Do what you like.

>>10121998
>That's not a problem. Your public Ip is just connected to that store.

"Excuse me, sir. We have evidence of illegal activity being conducted over your wireless network. Do you mind if we look at your security camera footage?"

>>10122016

As if that would seriously happen.

If you're really worried about something that ridicolous happening, just set your torrent client to connect to a proxy first, or better yet use private/anonymous trackers only if you can for certain torrents.

>>10122016
Unless there was a security camera trained on your screen, they can't identify that it was actually you. They might be able to pull your MAC address from the stores logs, but I doubt that would hold up in court.

>>10122023
Private trackers don't make your activity private. All they can do is limit members to those who are invited. But who has been invited? You can't know.

> Private trackers

>>>/r/10637335

Please respond.

>>10122029

The chances are much more unlikely though.

How about DHT? It's extremely hard for anyone to track specific copyrighted data over it, then it is to have someone listing down all the IP addresses of people connected to a certain tracker for illegal data.

>>10122056
I don't know. I'm just saying that if someone wants to get on a private tracker and find people to sue or arrest, they can do it. It's not safe. I'll agree that chances are small, though. Private trackers are mainly useful for quality standards.

I'm scared /jp/.

>>10121865
>downloading whatever-the-fuck in a public spot without SysOp or anyone else knowing from logs only.

IRC, OnionNet, and IPv6 rsync are your friends here; rsync being my personal favourite. Because one can make an ebuild file for any items, and not just source code to be compiled into programs, you could technically use Gentoo's Portage (Pacman, Apt, and RPM, as well) to synchronize lolis over public networks, and you would be safe until someone specifically tried to do a Man-in-the-middle attack by spoofing your DNS or various Checksums.

I've actually toyed with this idea of making a fork of Portage just for ecchi materials and calling the fork Hentoo.

>>10122423
thank you

>>10122423
>>10122423
>making a fork of Portage just for ecchi materials and calling the fork Hentoo.
DO IT
This is the best idea I've heard in the past months, I can help maintaining it and adding content. Are you up to it?

Use Tails.
