I accidentally went to /b/.
Apparently, when all you have in the address bar is b, that's what happens

Not for me.

me either

It only brings me to a search results page with /b/ among the top 5. (I was curious)

[ToonyMan]

The address bars lists things by most visited for you.
That means you guys go on /b/ a lot.
Putting "b" in my address bar gets 4 bay12 pages, some rom website, and some random image.

If you just click the arrow next to the address bar you get your most visited for everything.
I get MSPA, Bay12, YouTube, etc.  You know.

[dragnar]

It takes me straight to /b/ as well, and I've never visited the site, so that can't be why. What browser are you using Toony?

[Haspen]

I have firefox 3.6.something.

It tosses me on google page and /b/ is on the 6th place

Firefox.  What are you using?  It might just have a "most popular for everybody".

Oh, and here's the random image I got because it's pretty wacky.

i have never gone to 4chan's /b/ section before but typing b into the address bar and pressing enter brings me there. its not as bad as i had thought... almost though

[Sir Pseudonymous]

I think, at least on Firefox, it's the equivalent of punching it into google and hitting "I'm feeling lucky".

[Jackrabbit]

Considering /b/ is the first thing that comes up when you search b I'd say that's likely.

Oh, if I SEARCH "b" in my adress bar I get /b/.  But I'm talking about when you don't press enter and it lists your most traveled on.

Okay, 3 days of freedom including tonight, and even without planning anything, I attempt to make plans after making a forecast, and none of my plans will ever work anyway.

I sense that I'm going to be put to work and not get a single bit of well-deserved rest for the next 3 days. Plus, regardless of my debts and scraping the barrel and having been tracking and budgeting my funds and everything, I've been asked for money more than you can imagine (especially from my socialite sisters), and despite all the financing and everything I do, I'm the bad guy for not sharing my (nearly non-existent) funds and not keeping track of my money and being reckless (despite that I am a scrooged miser myself, and have set all kinds of budgets to get entirely out of debt). There is a good reason I don't always carry cash on me, and reasons like tonight's is why.

Add to the annoyance, because I'm a "gamer", I think everyone in my household thinks that I'm going to lock myself in my room for 3 days without taking in any sunlight my entire time off. First off, I spent an entire day (while on a work day) cleaning my room, I've been going outside more often because the weather has been pleasant for longer than 12 hours in a long time, and even I get bored of being in my room for longer than 6 hours straight; oh, and did I forget to mention that I've been working all week? Just because I only put in 15 minutes or so of face time doesn't mean I'm a household troglodyte. Explain how a cave-dweller like me still has color on his skin regardless "being inside 24/7".

Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only other person in the house, or in my town that has even an ounce of common sense. Hell, even with my junk food, I even limit my intake of it for the obvious "health risk" and also, I want some snacks that loosen me up to last. I hate being stereotyped like I described. Obviously work is excluded from the equation, including the customers I deal with.

Like I mentioned earlier, I gotta plan against my plans so my plans double-negative and happen and guarantee working. IE- Plan to be miserable, plans get dashed, therefore I am happy. Or also, Plan to fail, and fail at doing that. A more unusual way to be successful. Fail at failing.

Now a question; If you plan to fail and succeed, then what just happened?

Oh, and I realized that I'm working on April Fool's Day. Good thing I remembered and committed to cleaning my room. I guarantee it's going to be rigged to hell when I return from work. Fortunately for me being the night owl, I always get the first strike. Plus, as paranoid and well-versed in pranking I am, I can disarm just about any trap rigged for me. Plus, locking my computer = smart. Unfortunately, my sisters told me (for security reasons) their passwords. They better change those passwords before AFD before I get to them; otherwise they'll be using their machines with an upside-down screen or something.

We were talking about pressing enter with 'b' in the address bar. Since it's not a proper address, it apparently gets handled with an "I'm feeling lucky" search for the contents. Although, for me, entering 'b', and looking at the list it brings up doesn't show /b/ either, although it did bring up some page on cbsnews.com about pot growers in california bitching that legalization would ruin their profits... which I got from a post on /b/ asking people to vote "yes" on the survey on that page, and have only been to once, to vote 'yes' on the survey. :/

I've got to ask, why don't you just get shitfaced drunk? A little alcohol goes a long way towards relieving stress and bullshit like that. AND no one's going to ask the guy who can't stand up to do anything!

A great solution, and I used to use that solution alot. Minor problem: I can't afford to do it right now (plus, my alcohol tolerance makes me an expensive date). Just as much, there are plenty of people in town I don't feel like running into again. Plus, the household isn't much a fan of me going out for a drink. It was bad enough whenever I went out for some drinks after working in my last job. Plus, at that time, I felt more lonely than enjoyed my solitude.

[Sir Pseudonymous]

I meant more like buying a cheap bottle of vodka or something. But, I'm not going to try to pressure anyone into alcoholism or anything. I just find having a few drinks now and then keeps my head clear the rest of the time.

i find that if i dont want to deal with stupid, annoying family, just dont be around. try spending more of your time away from the house and "unavailable"

Well, come to think of it, it was nice going out for a few drinks while I was visiting my brother. Funny enough, I think one of my brother's friends commented that I was the only heavy drinker of the group or more like, they were all having light beers, and I was on my second Guinness (one of those big draft ones) by the time they finished their first, and we were even-keel in buzz. Despite the heavy hit, I was still able to be an apparent charmer (At least according to word of my brother). Personally, I don't know what I did different that actually made me appealing to women for once in my existence. Maybe being "old" has something to do about it.

[derail]
Not a victory I appreciate having. I mean, where the hell was that kind of charm effect half my life ago? Seriously, my personality barely changed one bit; same miserable person, but because I'm "older" I'm appealing now regardless my behavior. Is it me, or am I becoming right more consistently, and I should learn to think positively to work it to my advantage again? As I recall about my past, this is by a universe-wide margin the least likely thing to ever happen, and it's happening more consistently. At least I'm collecting notes to serve as a giant middle finger to self-helpers.

At least my recent victories will serve as something to show that I was right the entire time with all the research I did for at least the past decade. Negative as fuck, but accurate beyond belief. The amount of denial I've faced with it all (from nay-sayers of my research; namely family with relationships of their own each) makes me wonder about the crap I've heard during my past. It bothers me just how much crap is considered "advice". How is it that me looking like I rolled out of bed can attract as many women as everyone assumes me dressing like I belong in an Abercrombie ad would? I mean, my cynicism and "lack of a life" somehow is appealing. The only conclusion I can find is that I'm real. A genuine person, or simply, not a mirage and not a lie. What do you know? Honesty prevails.
