"fun"

idk, it doesn't seem fun to me watching something when I don't really want to watch it, with the thought in the back of my head (or more likely in the very front, during most of the show) that there are other people who are watching this together with me, and we might all feel odd about this, and then we gotta discuss this oh god what am I gonna write, what will they say, how everyone will react, how will the discussion go… you get the idea

Eric

Discussion is optional~

I'm gonna go with major Kusanagi and watch movies I really want to see alone

I don't really see the point of watching it together if there will be no discussion

I'd rather watch things at a more convenient time instead

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ my motivation comes and goes, so I just go with that flow instead of struggling to make myself keep doing stuff against my will, and in the end the results are usually better

I just limit the amount of stuff I want to do to a comfortable amount and then comfortably take on more tasks if I'm lacking the feeling of "enough things done not to feel lazy"

you also see the same thing happen in sports quite often. if an internally validated individual is in a slump, they may understand the process of overcoming the slump, continues patiently with the plan, and soon ends the slump. however, someone who needs external validation may feel more pressure from the outside, be less patient, become more stressed, and is less likely to end the slump as quickly

the next question is how we can properly develop more itnernal motivation

usually external motivation feels more like pressure to me, so I learned to disregard most of it and trust my own feelings. This is because most of the time I hear what others say and I know they don't mean to motivate me for the purpose of me accomplishing something and having fun in the process (or as a result), but for their own benefit, and that I don't like very much, but am trying to come to terms with

coz you know, holding grudges isn't doing you any good

@Hakase you're misunderstanding motivation and expectations

maybe

probably because I'm thinking of a different purpose

Taisho

Extrinsic motivation is an external form of motivation. for example, if your boss sets a deadline on a project and your bonus is tied to the deadline, that is a very clear form of extrinsic motivation. this example includes two extrinsic motivators: your boss's expectations and the bonus. so, extrinsic motivation doesn't always have to be another person, but it is some outside demand, obligation, or reward that requires the achievement of a particular goal

6:33 PM

my friend asked me what I'm talking about in chat today and I couldn't answer why we're discussing motivation

why are we discussing motivation?

@Hakase to help you better understand your motivations

I'm doing it mostly for you

I just popped in for a chance to learn how to get my projects done sooner

I think I know what motivates me and I really lack presence of those motivators

@Hakase it's just an analogy

an example: me and a guy on the internet are (extremely lazily) making a reskin mod for a game. It requires a bit of brainstorming and then drawing pixely sprites in photoshop. But we don't do it coz it seems boring most of the time. I can't argue with my own feelings − if it feels like it's gonna be boring, it's gonna be boring. Then I tell him I made some significant progress since our last meetup. Or he tells me that. We both get fired up and there's a high chance both or one of us will do some more work on that soon. And this is the most effective way this has worked yet, in terms of fu…

@Hakase tthat's your problem

@Hakase I'll be your project manager until you get things off the ground. you don't even need to credit me

6:39 PM

are you saying I should not get involved with other people or I will become fat?

well, my problem is I don't really have a problem with much stuff right now

but I would like things to get done

and I gotta sacrifice fun risking to hate what I do and as a result not get it done at all

it has happened to me before

If you tend to need extrinsic motivation, you can develop intrinsic motivation by initially tying internal rewards to external motivators

For example, if you want to lose weight and you find it helpful to be part of a weight loss support group, you can use that external motivator to develop internal rewards

As you start to lose weight due to the external support, focus on how good you feel physically as you lose weight and focus on the idea that you are losing weight due to the effort you are making

Identify specific changes you have implemented and give yourself credit for following through with these changes

Also you're not fat.

I know I'm not fat, that was a joke

chances are I'm never getting fat because of how lazy a cook I am

Pizza er'ryday.

Q: Need help translating doujin preview (NSFW?)

I'd rather have more tea than go put something in the oven

I'd rather put something in the oven than order a pizza :p

this is my ultimate diet

I know that I got a problem with accepting (disregarding) praise

it's how it's written in that book ton recommended

I think it helped me do more early on, but now I'm starting to think it's working against me

While browsing through Pixiv for One Piece images, I came across the preview of a doujin featuring Rebecca which piqued my interest, but a certain page makes me confused as to what's supposed to be happening to her. Since the page in question is the final page of the preview, I can't tell for sur...

idk… it seems like there has to be some balance to this thing and I'm off right now, but I'm not sure and bit afraid to offset it even farther from the sweet spot

6:59 PM

it's tea-cake-anime time now

I'm off for today coz I know I'll get f'd up and get to sleep too late like all week

so good night in advance

Hello everyone! I noticed Sakamoto just linked the question I asked on the site earlier, kudos to you! ^^ I'm a bit new to the site, though, and I didn't know that they don't do translations on the main site. So, could anyone here who can read Japanese help me out with that? Thanks in advance! ^^

7:23 PM

@totoofze47 just so you know we have a content policy for explicit images. This type of content falls under content that would be removed

please use a image host like imgur to host the images in an album for better viewing

totoofze47

7:36 PM

No problem, I understand. I just created an album, so here's a link to it: imgur.com/a/VfgLX If the images are still considered unsuitable (I don't believe they're explicit, but still), just tell me and I'll crop them to leave only the pieces of dialogue I'd like translated. Sorry for the inconvienience... >_<

@totoofze47 posting the parts that you are you have trouble with would be helpful

totoofze47

NP; I only really care about the final page of the preview, the one where Rebecca is supposedly shrinking: i.imgur.com/2u29z3o.jpg. It confuses me, so I'd like to see if the dialogue contains any indication as to what's going on.

And I know I already said it, but I'm sorry for the inconvienience... I'm new to this site, so I don't have all the rules in mind yet. >_<

I've been looking for a movie that I watched maybe 5 to 7 years ago (absolutely no idea when it actually came out though) with a protagonist who's in love with a girl but she is dating this huge jerk, really powerful dude really muscular, with green skin and yellow hair. He's like a god and there...
