I'm normally lazy about brushing my teeth and had random awful teeth pain. Ever since I've started taking high dose D3 + K2 every day the pain has completely subsided and my teeth feel stronger in general. Obviously, avoiding sugary drinks also helps.

One less thing to be depressed about I guess.

Similar notion from me, too. Ive found out drinking energy drinks gives me weird toothache, but quitting the energy drinks makes my teethache go away.

I do consume D3 viramin, and I have finished a bottle of 5-HTP this spring, but my K2 viramin is mostly untouched, waiting for me to finish it.

The voices are real beings. They just only lie and make up shit in order to harass you.

When I started ignoring mine completely rather than entertaining their shit they lost their mind and started screaming and repeating the same sentences over and over. Like a robot that glitched out.

Anyway, normalfags will never entertain these ideas because The Science(tm) says it's not possible.

my voices don't seem like a coherent being at all, while I sometimes get this unexpected stuff like this metahallucination, they mostly deliver this unbelievably disruptive and lame commentary upon my thoughts. Any attempt at interaction I get these annoying lines like saying one thing then the opposite the next. Sometimes replying to themselves.
I understand our voices can be very different and it's a big mistake to just assume other schizos have similar voices

>I don't know what to say to him and I hope I didn't say anything wrong because I don't understand social cues. I hate being autistic so much because I'm scared I will say something wrong or be rude and I don't understand what to say to comfort someone or cheer them up.

Made me reflect on my own behavior because I often feel this way, but is it "autism" or just a lack of social experience of not being in contexts where you can emote and also genuinely not knowing what to say? What can you even say to someone with a chronic, debilitating condition like that? I'm sorry? That's horrible? Would a real person hug them and say something like "We'll get through this."?

I usually default to logic rather than emotion and try to ask questions and problem-solve; not that I can as they're mostly unsolvable. Most guys do this because we're told to not show emotion and experience situations where doing so usually backfires or effects no response so we stop, or like most wizzies never belonged nowhere and never had an environment where they could open up, so you don't learn, or unlearn, that feature.

Put any prototypical person in that context and they'd end up mostly the same, displaying "neurotypical" traits like a cold, flat affect and awkwardness. This isn't necessarily "autism". And this isn't related to anything you wrote, just that it's a pet peeve of mine. I hate the catch-all frivolous labelling of anyone slightly socially maladjusted (which can be attributed to all kinds of 1+1=2 type scenarios not necessarily some neurotic condition: a bullied kid will naturally be quiet, a friendless loner will naturally be uneasy around people). Othering people who naturally behave in certain ways due to their own particular lived experiences making them behave that way as neurodivergent alien-people is ass backwards imo. Imagine telling some young kid who didn't get a good start in life he's officially a broken weirdo down to his very genomes and he should expect a life of alienation and social faux pas for the rest of his days - how encouraging! Why not give him some ADHD meds too?

If you genuinely can't read social cues then maybe, but clearly you can, as you're concerned enough to write this post and didn't want to say the wrong thing and display enough empathy to worry if you offended him, e.g. you'rePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I don't think AI will be around for long, and not for the reason people think.

AI is very old technology, the LLMs utilized are from the 1950s. When computers were first invented they tried using artificial neurons that learnt (the Perceptron). The problem was back then memory and scaling, you could get one node to learn but by the time it went to the next it started to forget. The hardware wasn't there. Because of this AI bots relied on binary tree if/else statements and weren't programmed to learn for decades.

All that happened in the 2010s was that hardware became available to stack LLMs on top of each other. The technology behind AI is veeeeery old, it's a hardware problem. If you're some nerd that reads into tech innovations you'll find the same is true for most inventions. Wood pulp paper wasn't suddenly eureka invented in the 19th century, it's that the steam engine made the processing of wood through mulching possible. The automatic threshing machine wasn't eureka invented, it's that there were dozens of invisible small innovations that fed into it that went unthanked, like the complex mathematic epicycloid calculations that went into the gear functions that some mathematics nerds and clockmakers perfected decades ago.

Anyways, the actual supply chains that are currently feeding the current top of the line GPUs and chips are unsustainable. They're spread across so many countries and it's like a precarious inverted pyramid, each part of the chip fabrication is a monopoly because it's stretching human ingenuity and ability to its absolute limit. And for every part of the input (the lenses, the robotic arms, the chemical acids, the light diodes for the lasers, etc) there's like another 5,000+ companies making bespoke tools for specialists. It's quite literally not cost effective or arguably even possible to scale production further. Like the Concorde and other supersonic jets, the rising costs are not due to economic constraints, but human. The concorde went out of service, and likewise AI will too.

The AI bubble will burst once they try to recuperate costs, once they find out that businesses don't want to pay $100,000 for the slop, they'll get a government bail out. The government will bail it out thinking they're getting a palatinr tier surveillance engine. This will turn out to be a white elephant because the AI data centers built will require replacing every 3 years due to the GPUs burning out, costing hundreds Post too long.

What about China?

Maybe I'm a retard and missed your point entirely, but again, why would the whole world or AI in general go the way of the dodo?
Consumer grade hardware which is plenty and has a wide market can run insane stuff now.
The whole palantir thing doesn't need as many resources as you seem to think either.

I could see chip making as a whole being hit if a couple big companies get hit in some major war or something.
Idk I'm just some retard anyways. Don't see this happening.
Even if ASML and taiwan as a whole gets obliterated I think a lot of other companies now have the means to produce such hardware.
Maybe not top0.00001% level, but at this point isn't computing already way stronger than we need anyways?

Smart people can just come up with better code, better math etc.
Chinese are already trying to kill USA AI with their own free/open source stuff and they seem to be succeeding in some ways showing people that paying USA companies to hand them all your business data might not be a good value proposition…

Same here. I've been following this guy Ed Zitron for a few years, he's been one of the first LLM skeptics that got traction. Think he even appeared on some american news stations recently. LLMs haven't proven in any capacity that they are actually better at any tasks than humans in the real world.
Benchmarks are set up specifically to measure arbitrary work loads that are made so an LLM can understand them. They use metrics like "lines of code written by AI" because it's impossible to measure the quality of said code or how maintainable it is in the long run (though experienced coders have talked about how much of a cluster fuck it is due to limited context windows and lack of awareness for things outside of the current task). LLMs are incapable of generating new solutions for anything, just mix and match existing stuff that sounds reasonable to everyone in the lower 50th percentile of knowledge in any given field. Hallucination will not be solved as it's just a fundamental quirk of how these things work. The curve of improvement is starting to flatten, just throwing more training inputs is no longer producing better outputs. Datacenter build outs are already stopping, big tech companies pulling out of their commitments or putting them on pause because there's no demand. All of it is just propped up by the years worth of backorders between AI companies, chip manufacturers and datacenter builders, which is a circlejerk of venture capital investment.
I don't know if I truly see a regression in tech but maybe that would be nice. It's not like the increase in raw hardware power has been used very well by the software in most cases. But since the chip fabs are sold out for the next few years we will definitely see stagnation on the consumer side. Maybe if enough PC parts manufacturers die out in the meantime due to lack of demand in the consumer space (((they))) will try to make everyone shift to cloud PCs. All of this LLM shit is so retarded.

Started playing it recently after it was on sale. Seems cool. Steam version, only fortress so far. Still trying to figure things out. At some point I had wild boars appear in my fort, which started fighting with the dogs there, causing there to be blood and boar corpses all over. Then the corpses started to decay and leak miasma (because I didn't know how to designate a trash area for corpses) which made everyone sick and vomit everywhere in addition to the blood and corpses. Seems like a game I can sink a lot of hours into, lots of depth and weird little niche mechanics you will only find by accident.

I'm only 23 but I feel so burnt out and depressed, not even from working (anymore) but from life in general.

I have pretty bad imposter syndrome, I'm somehow relatively successful compared to all the low IQ retards I grew up with, it's surreal knowing how fucking utterly stupid those guys are, they all just smoke weed and do nothing with their lives completely content like actual cattle but the weird thing is they're all generally satisfied with life and happy.

I feel uncomfortable and depressed constantly meanwhile all the white trash types I grew up with all seem to be relatively happy and content despite doing and accomplishing nothing; not even being able to keep their own living space tidy.

I think the jewish meme about goyim being literal cattle holds some truth.

Discussion about the lucrative, dangerous, and interesting hobby of Dumpster Diving.

High priority finds: Anything worth $$$, duh. Here's some examples:
-PC/Electronic equipment
-Sealed products, boardgames, clothing etc
-Food(sealed and safe)
-Anything you can use

Every day at my job I throw away several thousands of dollars of supermarket goods that are still good but we cannot legally sell them. Sometimes the seal is slightly broken and if anyone gets sick from that, that's a 6 or 7 digit number we get fined, so it's easier to avoid that altogether and claim insurances. Every single night people raid our dumpster. It makes sense.

I also used to use this method to survive decently while I was homeless.

Please post your thoughts and experiences

Its hard being bad at everything, even the things you do for yourself
Whatever I touch usually ends up ruined
Its very hard on me because I allready expect to fail at whatever I try nowadays
Maybe bad luck is real, but whatever I lay my hands on usually ends up more damaged then fixed
Id like to say electronics are a hobby, but i have destroyed more then I repaired
I have no talents no ability to put any Idea I have in my mind into reality
It doesnt matter if I prepare, if I practice
My fingers dont do what I want them to
Something unexpected happens
I couldnt even fix a carburator on my bike
And I couldnt get the replacement to work either
There are very few times I have tried something and got positive results
I have been fired from every job i have ever gotten quickly
I have been learning japanese for 3 years now and I have seen other people become fluid but despite the time I poured in I still suck
Its very hard to explain to other people, they will say "you have to try more or try something different"
But I am trying and failing
Its not that im just seeing the negatives, when I actually succeed at something it makes me very happy but its a rare feeling for me
I try things, even follow tutorials and it never turns out well for me
I have ruined many things I love by trying to fix an issue and breaking them irrepairably
I just want a bit of sucess in what I do

But told me, take a bath, literal, in salt water, and helps if its Sea Salt. Could add other stuff, but salt was most effective.

i feel now, most of us are probably cursed.

100 years back, 500 years back, men w/ lives as fucked as ours we d be told, o yea so and so is cursed, talk to the town elder for solution to break it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory#Origins_and_spread

> The dead Internet theory's exact origin is difficult to pinpoint. In 2021, a post titled "Dead Internet Theory: Most Of The Internet Is Fake" was published onto the forum Agora Road's Macintosh Cafe esoteric board by a user named "IlluminatiPirate",[12] claiming to be building on previous posts from the same board and from Wizardchan,[1]

This is the most famous thing, Wizchan has done since Gamergate. It is the 1st time since then that major media has talked about Wizchan. And even Sam Altman the most important man on earth talked about it.

This is going to be the most important idea of the AI Era, and every book that talks about it will have to footnote its from Wizchan.

Here we are mentioned in the prestigious The Atlantic in 2021 before this gpt stuff even started

https://archive.ph/I4hqM#selection-765.417-765.427

Wizchan coined the term that will define the future. we're heroes.

TL;DR AI got several points for me and I finally felt that the future is here! pleasant shiver


Quoting:


''The question "aren't you lonely" is considered rude because it implies loneliness is a negative state to be avoided, when some people are content being alone, and it can feel like a judgment on the person's social life. It also ignores the important difference between being "alone" (physically by oneself) and being "lonely" (feeling isolated emotionally). The question assumes a lack of social interaction is undesirable, which can be an uncomfortable and presumptuous assumption to make about another person.
It's an assumption of negative feelings: The question assumes loneliness is a universally undesirable state. However, many people are happy and fulfilled when they are alone, finding it to be a valuable time for rest, self-reflection, and connection with their "true self".
It ignores the difference between alone and lonely: There is a significant difference between being alone and feeling lonely. Being alone is a physical state, while loneliness is an emotional response. The question conflates the two, failing to acknowledge that a person can be physically alone but not emotionally lonely.''
''It can be a judgment on one's social life: Asking "aren't you lonely" can feel like a direct criticism of a person's social choices or life circumstances, whether they are single, have a smaller group of friends, or simply choose to spend more time alone. It implies their social life is lacking and that they should feel sad about it.
It overlooks the quality of relationships: The question focuses on the quantity of social interaction rather than the quality. A person may have many friends but still feel lonely, or have very few friends but have deep, meaningful connections.''
It is often perceived as a judgment on life choices: The question is particularly pointed when it comes to lifestyle choices like being single. Many people prefer to be single than to be in a relationship that is unhealthy or unfulfilling.

The first time i feel a connection with someone was when i played with a little succubus (two years before me, i have 13 years old here) with toys, tennis and other games, we just play alone in the countryside in solicitude without technology just being kids.
You know the later of the story, all got fucked and never happened again or talked.
>Also
The other time was with a asperger guy (they dont call like this anymore) cool guy, he wave to me sometimes at christmas times. We dont talk much, may he be happy.
>Warcraft
I made a friend of my country in a wow wotlk server, he's far away. We talk sometimes, a nice guy but dont talk to much of personal life.

I am not "lonely". I cannot trust people. I keep expecting them to spring at me at random.

I cannot experience loneliness if I simply never feel safe around people.

Why would I feel sad if most of the time, I am alone and well? It's the chance of getting a random weird pain and never having it diagnosed that bothers me.

I think that today, autistic and witchy people have a huge advantage over neurotypical people. We have extensive knowledge on a wide variety of subjects, we are determined in the face of adversity, and even if we are socially awkward or find it difficult to talk to people (this is my case, I am socially isolated) we can come together in these spaces and stop forcing social contact with neighbors or parents who ask us for the umpteenth time why we still don't have any friends or a girlfriend. Personally, I'd rather go online to investigate the Epstein case than have friends, and I think that's the case for many of you here. The others are completely ridiculous with their social codes to follow. They restrict themselves in terms of intellectual capacity in a completely stupid way to appear socially acceptable because the norm prefers a dumb athlete to a brilliant intellectual. That's why most people prefer athletes like soccer players or basketball players to Gregori Perelman, who solved Poincaré's conjecture. This whole circus is completely ridiculous. People make fun of their neighbors when they themselves are stupid, but to reassure themselves, they say that others are stupid and criticize us because we are not “within the norm.” We do not accept the social contract imposed by popular dogma, which wants us to we criticize to reassure ourselves without accumulating knowledge. Also, do people really compare their time spent on TikTok or Instagram to the knowledge in books, articles, and other sources before criticizing others? Maybe we should look in the mirror and accept that we are trash in order to change and follow a virtuous path that respects others. That's why we're here discussing this: we need to create a close-knit community and distance ourselves from the idiots who criticize us, keeping only those who understand us.And besides, it's not AI that's going to save these idiots. They need to rediscover what it means to read books, to dream, and to use their brains.

How is it possible that kids living in different parts of the world share behavior patterns and interests so out of the norm? Since these are so weird they cannot be called off as slightly different from normal it's categorized under an umbrella of everything associated with autism, if you have a lot of traits under the umbrella you get the label. There are currently so many people getting diagnosed with the tism partly because they want to make big cash from mind-numbing drugs but also there might be a correlation between the autism and mothers not giving birth until their 30s or 40s, the usual among whites and asians.

Because back in 1930s the cases of autism were ruled out to be a form of early presented schizophrenia

Only in late 1940s, *they* realised a rather peculiar form of weirdness among kids, that goes without hallucinations

20, 10 and even 5 years ago being called a virgin was seen as an insult by normies. Same could be said about being called "a crab", yet more and more often we see people who have regular sex, gfs and social lives say "they are basically crabs". Is it for attention? Is it some misguided idea that crabism is a mindset? Is it to make yourself feel "superior" to other normies? Same thing have happened with nerds: what used to be a simple demographic, later became a label to proudly asign to yourself (Oh, I'm such a nerd, I just love watching mainstream movies like Star Wars!).

Is there a way to stop it, or just every term loses it's meaning after 5 or 10 years these days?

After hitting 30 this feeling has been eating me and I don't know how to resolve it. I started watching different youtube channels and it made me realize how much time I wasted staring at a screen when I could be experiencing the world and creating things. The 21st century offers so many possibilities and yet all I did was sit at home play video games and read inane garbage online. Now I always had depression, anxiety, social autism, adhd, average iq etc. that lead to me being an underachiever but nowadays it feels like I was just the right self-help book and meds/supplement combination and some effort away from solving all these issues.

I could start now but after hitting 30 I feel this sense of hopelessness after experiencing aging. I felt like shit in my 20s but now I realize I actually felt good. Now I tire easily and years of sitting made my body feel rusty. I feel like the youth shield is gone and I can't take the future for granted anymore and expect it to make it even to 40. Every time I experience a new pain or sensation I imagine it to be the start of something serious.

How do you deal with this? It feels like modern technology amplifies winners so if you are a loser it feels extra bad because there is such a big contrast between living with your parents and riding the bus and eating mac and cheese and living in a multi-million dollar mansion with a beautiful view and driving a ferrari and eating at 3 star restauraunts.

I figured I've already experienced everything junk food, chocolates, cakes and ice creams can offer as an experience.
They no longer give me dopamine, just bloating and an overall sense of unwellness & brain fog.

Life is very short and I'd like to be in shape even if just once during my existence. So far I lost 12 pounds, which is an okay start but not great.

I aim to work out 3 times a week, and on the 4 other days light cardio such as walking for an hour.

Diet has been redesigned to involve a lot of lean meat, fresh produce, eggs, walnuts and water instead of sodas.
If I crave something sweet, it's gonna be a banana or berries, maybe a kiwi or orange.

What do you think? Have you tried to live healthier or are you already healthy?
So far I haven't lost motivation but it's only been 6 months. I find it has had a moderately positive effect on my depression too. If I can pull it off I'll keep the rhythm up for the rest of my life.

I've come to terms that this is my life, but she won't accept that I'm no longer that smart quiet kid who had potential to become a doctor or lawyer.
I clearly have the symptoms of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#Signs_and_symptoms except the bad ones.
>Psychotic symptoms such as delusions or hallucinations may occur in both manic and depressive episodes; their content and nature are consistent with the person's mood.[4] Approximately 60–75% of people with bipolar I disorder have experienced psychosis.
I'm part of the lucky 25% I guess, but I'm not normal. I tried to adjust so I can function in society, but I'm still a fuck up, and I'm not alone, many people have mental health problems for whatever reason.

Funny tricks for OP to try.
From someone who tried to watch SEL when they aired it.

Try logging out a little bit by:

1)use some old smartphone as your offline device (Gutenberg Project books, old books, .pdf of Popular mechanics magazines off Archive.org)

AND

2)set your main smartphone, your online device into silent mode on schedule (Do Not Disturb mode on samsungs and alike allows scheduling auto-enable and auto-disable schedule in pairs, say 22:00-07:00)

3. Check your EMR levels in your room and test your EMR sensitivity. What if you are constantly being affected by your Wi-Fi router? Try putting it into another room…

I have finally realized something. The Internet now is overwhelming in terms of making a myriad of small decisions every time you want to do something poorly decined. Say, every time you just want to watch a *tube video to pass some time or scout for *something* that's interesting, you have thousands of videos to choose from and they're all "interesting".

The digital rabbit hole is real.

Next time you go to a computer, you make a short idea of what are you going to watch.

"Just spending 20 minutes watching 1 old short comedy movie from 1970s" or
"I need to look up how to sync up my old pc and new laptop"

If you want to try a new recipe, you may try to go to a nice bench near your local shop, and look up some recipes when you're near a store, not in the comfort of your home. (That's my guess, though, not a serious tested idea of living)

I believe in it (especially mundane astrology) and honestly it just makes me more depressed and mentally ill than I would be otherwise. Knowing that we just barely entered the age of Aquarius has robbed me of all my hope for the future.

From what I can gather, this means for the next 2000+ years:
-Information will be highly available, people will be much smarter and more knowledgeable
-Science and technology will be heavily abused
-There will be widespread abundance (most likely a post scarcity society). There will no longer be an upper, middle or lower class, wealth gaps will cease to exist
-Transhumanism and transgenderism will be widely prevalent, possibly even forced upon people
-Democracy and socialism will be held to a high regard
-Victimhood will be praised
-Men and masculinity will be hated
-Religion will be hated
-Loneliness will be widespread
-Karma will come quickly
And more that I'm probably forgetting about. I'm truly an age of Pisces person at heart, so knowing that this is what the future holds has ruined my mental health. I wish I was born in a different time.

I wanted to learn an interesting skill like math or art and make money or something and I don't think I can manage to learn them if I have to wagecuck at the same time, not like I am disciplined enough now.

Had similar thoughts. If I failed to pursue anything I care about while a NEET with nothing but time then what makes me believe I would ever make progress while a wagie?

That's a really stupid interpretation of the statement. There's no need to deduce something so clear to similes involving material utlilty.
>A man who has the knowledge but lacks the power clearly to express it is no better off than if he never had any ideas at all.
Means that doing things ends up getting those things done, while just thinking about doing those things doesn't. There's no reason to revere those who simply think. Such reverence is especially unnecessary in the context of reflection, i.e don't get an ego boner because you know how to solve a problem but are too lazy to actually fix that issue. Your contribution to resolving the issue as someone who knows but does not do is worth the same as that from someone who doesn't know and doesn't do, because they both bring about the same results. tl;dr Do it, faggot.

Say, you can flub up with not changing oil in your car or literally flub up not having worn out timing belt/some pump/brake fluid leak diagnosed properly and timely.
