So, my fellow hoomans, does happy +25 NEETs still exist or is now only doom and gloomy views? What happen to the happiness that one feels when finally got the elusive NEETbux? What happen to the happy go luck older NEETs that instead of fighting fate (or tired of trying) just accepted his lot and try to find happiness on his piece of life? Now I only see "buuu huuu I'm le sad NEET". Where are those happy content older NEETs or all online NEETs now are just depressed neurotic people?

I'm a legit hikineet, I don't get neetbux so I just leech off my parents. I find the lifestyle quite comfortable, socializing was never for me so I don't feel like I lost anything in that regard, if you gave me a billion dollars the only things I'd change would be my house (in Monaco), being capable of leaving the house to take a walk while feeling safe, and slightly my diet. When parents die and money runs out I will have to choose whether I commit suicide, live off charity or become a minimum wageslave, but I think there's at least more than a decade for that to happen. In the meantime I'm working on a personal project that may give me money or not but I will enjoy it regardless. I'm not more afraid of the future than the average guy is, death comes sooner or later.

i did electronics and the like. But i know that all companies are offshored and nepotism is against autists.

also i dont want to outsource my ideas, which get capitalized by others who can scale them massively and then leave me in the dust.

so i live of the gov, never give to those who made your life horrible.

Pipe tobacco is a hobby, right? There's the element of collecting pipes and trying various blends, which resembles wine tasting in how elaborately some people talk about them. Any wiz pipe smokers here? Any favourite blends you'd recommend? Show me your wizpipe(s) (no homo).

Here's my pipe and some tobacco I'm currently smoking. The one in the tin is Old Gowrie

Pipe tobacco is good for putting in cigarette tubes and papers, good for packing your own cigarettes.
I prefer the brands without anything toxic.
Love to be off of arsenic and cyanide, because of pipe tobacco.
Arsenic and cyanide actually fucking killed me.
Prepacked cigarettes aren't worth it; they're drenched in death, poison, severe retardation. And severe general impairments and severe general disabilities.

Pipe tobacco smells great, because it's non-toxic.
Tastes better, too.

I get Gambler brand tobacco.

Your journaling experience may vary.

Jours are "days" in French so journalling literally refers to writing down how your days go. Writing down smart thoughts, ideas, and plans should not be in your journalling area of your book, you need a "planner", planning book for that.

I sometimes take notes of interesting thoughts I had during the day. I find this calming.

 No.70864

I've seen a lot of succubi's channels on youtube talking about journaling your daily life. So I cannot avoid seeing it as a feminine hobby now. But still it caught my attention, it seems a good therapy for me. Before I tried this and yes, it was fun but I have difficulties keeping things, it really might be a good thing for a wizard.

 No.70865

Yes I have an insane journaling process. I have a hotkey on my PC when I hit it pulls up an overlay with a text editor + todo list (I just use emacs for everything and the overlay is from hyprland). The journal entry automatically timestamps so I write as am doing stuff that day or do voice to text. After I submit it then takes the journal entry, uses an AI to analyze it and see if it is good to update one of a bunch of models I have. Each model is a text file tracking my life/goals in some way, so every journal entry it's considered if it alters the status of anything of the models tracking my life, or any of my goals. Through that some of my goals can request updates/more information if they don't understand something. After all that it adds a response to my journal. Every week I also set goals for the different days of the week and it's mindful of if I'm keeping them. I also keep a bunch of stats on my diet/nutrition/sleep and it's fun because I can ask it to analyze my journal entries and see what the 1 week impact of heavy drinking is and what helps to improve it over the past year or something, because it can identify those moments and then how it effects those models.
Making sure stuff that happens to me is factored in encourages me to keep up in my journal entry. It scores each aspect of my life for how it's doing and how much each journal entry impact each model. Since I started doing this back in January I have been writing way more in my journal and writing in it every day.I also have a ridiculous number of notes just for context on things like every place I've ever lived, every person I've known. A super in depth/detailed life history and other stuff. (These were used to build up those models and it can reference them or request additional subject based journal entries as well).

I've been on my PC every waking moment I could do so for the past 24 years or so.
For me, a recent thing is trying to embrace phones and a tablet I got for further consumption and comfort.
Never was addicted to a phone since I was at a PC all day, why bother right?

I don't mind it too much, I'm on it to numb myself. I often just stare at the screen as of late, not even scrolling any manga, let alone doing the gargantuan effort of playing games.

The only issue I have is with digital hoarding. I know the internet as I knwo it is coming to an end so I should really start hoarding.
Having so much unsorted JUNK I saved over the years is causing me mad anxiety too.
I need order, but pic rel is unsortable… can't let it go either.

I got about 6TB of SSD space open for once I start scraping the 35k bookmarks I hoarded over the years as well.
Mostly manga, doujins, r34 pics, audio/voiceworks crap like that that isn't really worth it, but would give me peace of mind to have my own offline library. Wish I wasn't so retarded about it and knew what to do.
Was looking into lanraragi and hydrus but they aren't exactly plug and play and idk what would happen to those hoards if I had to move drives to another PC that might not be windows in the future.

TL:DR; digital hoarding gives me mad anxiety
I considered purging most if not all I have currently downloaded and questioning how much I should even hoard considering I might not even be able or desire to jerk off much now that I'm 30.

What would I even do with my time without it? I can't imagine it. I have a tiny 2x5m room. I tried hobbies like mini painting, carving, drawing etc. but failed at acting on them in the long run.
I'd just put the stuff in front of me and stare at it like it's a screen. Fucking hell…

Yeah very much so. I still get hung up forever on nonsensical decision making like what class to play in vidya and the like for example.
The very same games I played 20 years ago or so. I got stuck and can never progress with anything.
I've turned 30 and only now I feel like I'm about mentally 19-20-21 slowly figuring some stuff out, but it's not working.

When I was around 14-16-18 I still had the mental maturity of a kid I felt like. Classmates progressing, pairing up, planning stuff. It was weird.
Early 20s I was shocked by how mature everyone was while I was still the same old same old..

I got my first job at 27.

I feel old physically, very old at that. I let things get real bad. Mentally though I'm as immature as ever.
If I didn't live with mom I'd be looking to off myself because I don't think I'm actually capable of taking care of myself and not ending up homeless.
I might need to take care of her too someday soon, who knows. I don't know how I'd do it and I get the feeling she knows that isn't going to work either.

I was still hung up on my kindergarden level toys all the way into late teens getting made fun of for it. Getting made fun of for not knowing sex organ terminology and slang etc. later on.
I don't know if there is some magical rite of passage I missed out on or if I was just meant to be like this.

i know you're going to troll me, but i still kindly ask you to find a second and think about what could be the *optimal* solution. the solution that doesn't burn bridges, doesn't create bitter enemies and yet lets you maintain the high ground. i know this is not fully achievable, but there gotta be an algorithm or something.

my brain just crashes in such situations. it's like "idk wtf are you're even talking about???" i need help

It's like those neckbeards dreaming of living in the middle ages. Nigger, your chances of being a knight or a noble would be astronomically low.

Stepped on the scale today and realized that despite the initial "push" from a medical crisis a year ago, I basically regained all weight I lost (minus 5-10kg).
I also realized I've been working for almost 3 years now, going to be 30 the same week I'll hit my 3 years of work too.
3 years… of wages wasted.

I don't even know what the fuck I spent most of it on. It just escapes me.
Still live with mom and all my necessities are taken care of she takes nothing from me.
I had a blessed opportunity these past 3 years to save up for the dogshit future that hit the world now and I wasted it on toys and basically indulging all I couldn't as a NEET with no money.
The worst is that since I'm an impulsive retard I mostly have nothing to show for it either.

Health is even more fucked then ever before since I never took action.
Rather every action that didn't prove fruitful or flat out failed resulted in my absolute surrender for another month or three or six…
Absolutely defeated at the starting line basically.

To get to the point of this thread. Those of you that live a decently structured, responsible and stable life, how?
I barely have a sense of time. Kinda like when I was a NEET, just instead of 12-16 hours of sleeping and then PC stuff I'm forced to work a rather easy, blessed job.
Once it passes I just feel like I'm teleported to the next shift until I get to sleep through a weekend and months pass.
Even chronic pains don't make me act much. What does one even do to live?

The worst part really is that so many years went down the drain and I really have nothing to show for it. Not even memories.
I want to at least look back on SOMETHING fondly when I'm dying someday.

Hey wizards,

Two other wizzas and I will be reading The Pastel City, a science fantasy novel by M. John Harrison, originally published in 1971.

We'll be following a schedule of one chapter per day. The chapters are about 10 pages long on average. After each day's reading, we'll come here and talk about it. I'll be posting a short daily commentary to help kick off the discussion, along with updates on our progress through the schedule. Of course, you're under no obligation to post anything if you don't want to.

We'll start on Thursday, July 2, so in just a couple of days. Check out the blurb for the novel:

A decaying world. Ancient powers long forgotten. An old warrior with one last battle to fight. The Pastel City is a mesmerizing journey through the ruins of a far-future civilization, where the remnants of lost knowledge mingle with myth and legend. Atmospheric, inventive, and unforgettable, it is a classic of science fantasy.

I'll be following along with this edition, which can be borrowed for free from Archive.org:

https://archive.org/details/pastelcity0000unse

You can choose a different edition if you prefer:

https://archive.org/search?tab=all&query=the+pastel+city&and%5B%5D=mediatype%3A%22texts%22

To borrow a book from the Archive, you'll need an account. They only ask for an email address and password.

Come and join us for some whimsy literary fun.

I might be wrong but the way I understood it is the chemosit weren't built specifically just to have something that can destroy people's brains, they were just the ultimate weapon in every respect, and incidentally had the function to destroy brains to deal with that technology that could revive soldiers. But yeah, I'm not sure why it looked like they were harvesting them instead of just destroying them…

>>70850
Sad to see all those birds get torn to shreds, and presumably Cellur himself will die as well in the end… so much lost knowledge.

>How do you all like it so far?

I don't care too much about illogical stuff and the like so I'm enjoying it a lot so far. It's gripping. I wonder what the mechanism to shut down the chemosit is… couldn't they just destroy the brain controlling them? Although perhaps it is too big for that and it would take too long.

Chapter 10

In two days, they came to Thing Fifty. It was a humbled city, ten square miles of broken towers, sinking into the soft earth. Squares and plazas, submerged beneath fathoms of filthy water, had become stagnant, stinking lakes, their surfaces thickly coated with dead brown leaves. Black ivy clutched the enduring metals of the Afternoon Cultures, laid its own meandering inscriptions over bas-reliefs that echoed the geometries of the Pastel City and the diagrams that shifted across the robe of Cellur.

Of course Norvin Trinor had to show up for a final showdown after how things were left unresolved in chapter 6. I quite enjoyed this little journey to Thing Fifty. It's funny how Tomb the Dwarf has progressively become the only party member worth a damn in this book. He could probably solve this whole thing without Cromis, and certainly without Grif. I guess being a tech nerd and having an eleven-foot-tall wearable colossus helps a bit.
Only two chapters left now.

I took it as an effort to hint at the weirdness of this world. Leibowitz was a lot more grounded and tried hard to be realistic, this thing is another beast entirely.

Alright the fate of Grif I did see coming. With only a few pages left, I predict a very obvious ending or a very odd one. I did like this chapter also, especially the whole thing with the door and getting inside the complex.
The end approaches. Let's see how it goes.

I like it better during low libido periods. Getting horny all the time sucks and just wastes me away. I can't concentrate on anything at all. When my libido gets lower I can find at least some time, though not much, to dedicate to something mentally demanding like pet projects or whatever. When it surges up I basically spend all my free time jerking off and doing erratic activities like playing for twenty minutes each game I have until I must fall asleep. And I don't get that much free time anyway due to wageing. I really hate this libido stuff. It really defeats my every notion of rationality, since I basically can't dedicate myself to anything at all because all I do is think about fucking some hot succs from whatever hot anime/manga I watched/read last.

I've been seeing this stated over and over again where people are saying large swaths of the kids these days are literally illiterate. Do you buy this? Is it really that bad?

If it is, what do you think will be the implications for future life? Are we wizards actually going to be better off simply because we are literate, or will that not even matter anymore because AI will now do all the thinking for society? I feel like people of all generations are becoming even more like cattle just being herded around by the tech companies these days. Are the zoom zooms and alphas their final product? A permanent underclass for the elites to exploit and rape? Really if people can't even read anymore, I shudder to think what might happen.

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.

If you feel your efforts aren't being rewarded as much as you think you deserve, then perhaps try something else. Intelligence isn't the only skill you can cultivate; there are plenty of other things you can do.

Having totalling retarded and out of touch boomer parents have destroyed any possibility of NEEThood I ever had. Technically I was NEET for nearly 6 months, but during that time I was applying for jobs and had a course lined up at the end of 6 months, so it doesn't count? Every single day my boomer dad would be saying worthless plattitudes. Telling me I'm clearly not asking for the manager and shaking their hands, says they can tell if I'm not going to be a good worker or not. He would stand by the doorway of stores just watching me interact with the manager/customer service people (blocking customers btw) and just scowl at me. Arms folded and grumbling to himself. We must have gone to over 500 locations locally and many places multiple times. He did eventually let up, he didn't want to admit how wrong he was about finding a job. This was all the way back in 2015.

"In this house if you don't work you dont play no video games!!"

"NO WORKY NO EATY"

"YOU NEED TO BE A MAN NOT A MOUSE"

Ironically I work way harder than he ever has now that I have a job. I've pulled 80 hours weeks, once did a 20 hour shift. I'd get home at 2am sometimes and he'd scream at me for being up so late. "I just got home from work dad, I finish at 2" he would grumble and reply that if I had a life I'd be asleep by now so I can wake up in time to go to the ice rink. We don't even fucking have one of those anymore. He also refuses to believe the hours I do, he thinks I'm out partying or something. He knows I do full time work atleast, but he's shown some skepticism as I can't afford a mortgage.. We live in one of the most expensive cities in the world (when accounting wages and stuff). He really is stuck in the 70s.

I hate how dumb my parents are with money. My dad is usually ok with the standard stuff, if anything he's great. His shortcoming is getting scammed. He will pay a 5k repair bill on a 2k car. He paid 15k for a fence to be put on our property and I did my own research into it, the fence should have been 1~3k including labour, and people were saying 3k is even quite out there.

Mother is just full blown retarded. She once paid 30 dollars for a supermarket made pizza that just had sauce and grated cheese on top. She also wants to rennovate the house, the house they plan to sell in 5 years and the value is ONLY based on the land. SHe wants to spend around 100k all for it to be torn down. We aren't rich either, we've come into lump sums quite often. Lottery winnings, Inheritence, redundency yet it's all been pissed away. Mother would also spend like 2k a week on clothing and end up giving a lot of it away or selling it for 5 dollars a piece. We should have had enough wealth to live comfortably like royalty

It's "honest" (in brackets).
You can say to someone who doesn't mean to bully you it hurts already hoping civilized people to back off before some kind of a treatening to sue over moral damages arises. Soyboys are especially good at that.

Unfortunately, it does not *deter* bullies. If you are some kind of manipulator who collects evidence for possible lawsuits, you're golden, and so is your lawyer. If you're honestly asking to leave you alone with this victimization of yourself, you're in the wrong… spot.

I've started trying to write a fantasy novel. It's hard to write though. I knew it would be since I'm brand new at it and you can't expect to be good at something you are just starting out at, but it's still a frustrating feeling to realize everything I'm writing is shit and yet I still have to keep crapping it out anyway.

I've realized I'm overly verbose. Has always been a problem of mine and it's becoming a problem for the narration of the story. I think I can probably cut a lot of fat in my next draft and hopefully I should be able to improve some.

after death you simultaneously gain and lose a lot of freedom
your soul which was free in a way in this life becomes trapped in a way after you die
like if you only did scummy stuff like ripping off people and bullying it's this stuff forever, no way to ever become a good person
good people become trapped too in a way, no more 'succumbing to temptation' and shit
at the same time you gain a lot of freedom, basically do what you want forever without the pains of the body and sickness and stuff, must be really comfy compared to the struggle of the living, within your alotted place for your soul which cannot change anymore in a certain way

You can't "not exist". Even if it takes billions of years for consciousness to form again after you die, it wont be "you".

"You" will just be inside a clump of cells called a body in an instant after you die. Somewhere else on the planet or in the universe.

If you snap back into this planet as a human, it all starts over roughly at age 2-3 when you first start forming permanent memories. Everything before that will be a distant haze.

>furthermore, if people are unable to do so on their own, the government steps in to ensure it happens by assigning you a partner (regardless of your sexuality) and guaranteeing you a job at some facility or specialized work related to your first years of studies, knowledge or a factory job.

>If you oppose the government or don't have a partner or children, you are arrested and declared a social outcast and a good-for-nothing
>In this process, a digital credit system begins to be used, in which there are the married, those with children, and the outcasts. Logically, the latter have no rights to anything, and the former enjoy more benefits—although in reality there isn’t much difference in benefits beyond the typical economic gains associated with modern social class.
>Outcasts can reintegrate into society under certain conditions regarding work, children, and family—if they meet those conditions.
>Adoptions are made easier with even greater oversight by government officials and agencies, even for infertile individuals or even for other schemes of families.

They're still at the "we will pay you to have kids" phase, but once their succubi keep being succubi, married to and dependant on the state while chasing an unrealistically high standard in their extramarital dating life, they will move to the stick rather than the carrot.

The Leibowitz readalong was just the guy suggesting it and me so it was not much of a book club. Are you the Leibowitz guy? I thought you hated the readalong from your posting tone because it was awkward with just two people. I'll probably join another readalong though because I like that it gave me a routine.

>do we wait until more wizards show up?
