Why don't I want to change? Anonymage 10/27/26 (Tue) 09:45:04 No.311401 [Reply]

I'm gonna try and be objective for a change, and say that despite being a 33 year old loser, I'm probably still better off than most people on paper. I'm able bodied, I'm (probably) not mentally deficient, I'm (probably) not hideous, I still have family that support me, I don't have trauma, and I'm not in some kind of terrible situation that I can't get out of.

Despite all that however, I simply don't have any will to improve the parts of my life I'm unhappy with. I feel like it'd be so easy for me to learn to drive again, to join some kind of social club or just be more proactive in talking to people online, but I just will not do it. And it's not like I'm generally miserable or have a problem getting up in the morning or getting things done. I can get up and go to work, I can act like I'm perfectly fine to my family, I can still enjoy video games or jerking off, but it's like there's a block in my brain about this specifically.

Am I afraid? Afraid of saying something wrong again and turning everyone off? Afraid that, even though I'm usually very self-deprecating, it's all just a defense mechanism and if I found out that everyone hates me for real real it would hurt more?

Or is it some kind of autism to actually practice what I preach in my head? Because I feel like asking for help in a real way wouldn't be something that someone who truly hates themselves and thinks they don't deserve to live would do.

Or deep inside, do I believe that this is actually just me, and if I changed these parts I would be fake and not myself anymore?

Either way it feels so ingrained in me, it might as well be my actual personally. I've been bouncing these thoughts in my head for a while and I don't really know where to go from here.

Linux yet again Anonymage 09/04/24 (Wed) 20:01:30 No.68063 [Reply]

I always played around with it in a very disengaged, uncommitted manner. Well, on September 2nd, just a few days ago, I decided to really learn Linux to the point I could truthfully add to my resume to help me find a position somewhere. For that reason, I picked Ubuntu, possibly the most popular, all-purpose Linux distribution out there. I began doing the edx's version of the Linux Foundation's Introduction to Linux course because of the bells and whistles they have there in terms of exercises and whatnot. Unfortunately, they peppered the whole course with unbelievably idiotic mini videos geared towards morons. Imagery of douchebags with designer haircuts typing away at a laptop with some coolcorp background and annoying music.

So I said fuck it, and instead I decided to read the Linux Bible. But then I found out there's an Ubuntu Linux Bible by the same author, and so that's what I'm reading now. Straight to the point, concise, has exercises, not as many as I would like, but I can come up with variations on my own. Today is the third day I'm following the book, and I intend to make a daily post, briefly talking about the stuff I've learned on that day.

The first day was pretty much just going through the fluff. What Linux is, history of Linux, Unix, GNU, what open source is, etc. That's the first 20 pages of the book's 718 pages.

The second day I read about the X Window System, desktop environments, GNOME desktop, Nautilus file manager, and ways to run Linux (live medium, permanent install, etc.). The exercises consist of messing around with the GUI pretty much, something you would naturally do in a fresh install of an OS. I also had to install Ubuntu because I was running Windows. I got lucky because Ubuntu 24.04.1 came with some broken packages for Nvidia drives, and that of course fucked my shit up, which was a very excellent opportunity to do some tinkering and learning. I got it to work, it only took me an hour or so. I read people saying this is the most broken Ubuntu update in years, which I take as a good sign for my timing. And then I broke Light Locker while changing to Xfce as my desktop environment.

Anyway, third day, today, I finally reach the meat of the book and begin messing around with the shell, trying different commands, pretty simple stuff, whoami, pwd, ls, cd, command syntax, hyphenated options for command's behavior, locating commands, and really, just getting comfortable to mess around in the termPost too long.

interesting to see you followed a book, looking forward to reading the whole thread. when i started i tried to follow along a 7 hour tuorial video, i don't remember if i finished it all the way but i think i regret not bothering with a book. i wasn't into books when i started linux but now i am because i have seen so much internet video already.

if someone was asked me today on how to start with linux today, i'd say find/buy/borrow an old laptop, go to the library with it, leave all other tech at home, install a simple linux distribution on it while checking the books on linux that are in the library and just spend time looking at everything and clicking every button, look in every menu, do every exercise.

i started with manjaro, now i am on fedora, most likely i will go to debian in a few years because the frequent updates annoy me or break stuff for me. i took turns trying xfce, gnome and kde for long periods of time, ended up liking kde the most, i use it with widgets on my desktop that always display system_information. temperature, ssd read/write, network up/down, usage percentage of cpu/gpu/ram/swap.

If you like KDE the best, I recommend OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (not OpenSUSE Leap). The OpenSUSE devs are the number one contributors to KDE, and it's the default DE for OpenSUSE. I'm running it right now, and I can confirm that it is more stable than Fedora's KDE spin.

>I recommend OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

when i was distrohopping years ago for the first time i think i tried tumbleweed once and i remember how much i liked the packages that came with it; i made screenshots and put them in a little picture folder, not yet knowing i was looking at kde stuff and how much i would later enjoy everything kde does. might be fun taking a look at it again. though i am using the computer so basically (just browsing, opening basic files, writing text files, steam for games) that i always think i should just move to debian because usually new stuff just doesn't interest me so there is no reason for me to keep so up to date.

I want to quit smoking, this habit has been destroying my life for a long time. I can't think straight and can't see color in my life anymore everything is too gray and tiring Im like a soulless painting, I can going to quit smoking, Moreover I don't have a job too.

Anonymage 10/27/26 (Tue) 08:25:37 No.230645

Yes. Vices do that. There is no winning recipe for quitting rather than suffering through. I was addicted to nicotine for 15 years and alcohol for 10 years. Went into a complete psychosis after a bender last NYE. First couple of months were rough, almost quit my job and came very close to get me fired, but what mattered to me was that I stayed sober. It gets easier with time, but never fades away.

Anonymage 10/27/26 (Tue) 09:28:42 No.230646

I don't have the smoking gene so the odd cigarette isn't a problem. I could cut back on alcohol though. My real addiction is porn.

That depends entirely upon your personal criteria for it being worth it. 10 pills for 50$ sounds like a fucking scam unless the pills are a high dosage like 30mg each or so, but I would never recommend someone who never took stimulants before to take that much the first time.

I think I've just realized a good reason to live.

I have /wiz/ardchan tier sex drive - as in very low

During my teens/20s I had stress so high I had no morningstaff (/dep/ tier past) - but I missed the part where I was supposed to end up a "crab".

All my /hob/ are computer-related, I don't really need too many "real stuff". In fact, I like "industrial" design or straight-up "rustical" crude design.

I dabble a little in /jp/ culture - as in 1950s-1980s, not just modern anime/games/both combined (Touhou Project) and pre-1885 times of samurai

and I have my own taste in /music/ - I have utilitarian preferences, such as commercial background music.

I think my consciousness would be quite useful as a template to copy and to install into various robot-like machines… y'know, it happens sometimes - it's VERBOTEN, ZAPRESHCHENO, PROHIBITED to make X, but there's an opportunity to get Y and upgrade it to something that's close to X. So hey, have fun cloning [and patching up?] my mind with additional knowledge, should manufacturing a strong AI from scratch und up prohibited.

Since I do not identify with seggs/gossip/"SUCCial lifey" and such, I have less problems than regular urban person all while I do not have the addendum of the beautiful divine nature of a proper hermit/monk/a high-composure person who keeps masking own feelings, not genuinely lacks them.

>shared misery is halfed misery

i don't know understand why people say this. this is completely false. sharing misery multiplies the misery. before was one miserable person, after the sharing it is two miserable people. it is like an infectious disease.

i'm sorry this makes no sense to me whatsoever. how can you not know that there is misery. i guess you are the kind of person who has to asks others how they are doing because you genuinely can't tell by their aura.

Do you want to change your life?
Do you really want to change your life?
MEDITATE
Wizzies, meditation is highly famous but seldom practiced seriously. The results from meditation takes time. It's like exercise. During the first day it will be hard to stay still and concentrate, but as you practice it, your body and mind start getting used to it. The benefits are immense. To mention a few:
>it improves concentration a lot
>it quiet your inner monologue, reducing it to 96% or even 100% depending on how well you are praticing it
>it increases the size of your pre-frontal-cortex which is responsible for making decisions
>increases gaba, which is the chemical that makes you calm
>it sharpens your sense making colors look brighter and sounds sound more vivid
>it gives you insights
>it makes you live in the present moment, since you are not ruminating the past or thinking about the future
>it reduces anxiety

And if you want to make it more meaningful, I advise practicing Buddhist teachings, even if you don't indetify as a Buddhist (that's irrelevant). You can still continue being a Christian and still follow Buddha's teachings for a happier and sober life.

I speak from experience. I've been meditating for 5 months almost everyday and now I'm starting to reap the fruits of my efforts. If I could dedicate my life 100% to spirituality and become a monk, I would, but where I live there's barely any monasteries. I don't mind though. I'm happy. I could be happy anywhere as long as I could practice meditation and the teachings of the great Buddha.

Just do it. Do it today or tonight. If silence is a problem, put on a whine noise sound on your headphones (I do that). Do it for 20 minutes. If it's too hard for you, reduce it to 10, but no less. You first session is always special. You will get out of there thinking: "what the hell, this shit really works".

Good luck, guys!

This is a big part of it; sitting silently IS wasting time and stirs up the anxiety that causes us to feel restless and NEED TO DO SOMETHING (even if that SOMETHING is causing us pain and suffering)

keep sitting with it

Is this a thread of meditation? I the dude of the thread of Magick for relaxation. I wanna share some alternatives to Vippasana or Annapasanti meditation
>Kasina
The use of color gaze or color discs of buddhists
>Tatrak
Candle gazing, i gazed sometimes fires and are damn relaxing
>Sky gazing and cloud gazing
Tibet buddhist do this, very relaxing. Its like a kasina and watching fire at times.
>Wall gazing
The japanese zen do this, i did this for one year and my eyes got a lot of resistance to keep open seing the eyes of others or focus in things.
>Metta phrases or Coue
I tried this with a focus in heart with a hand in my chest and another in arms and its kinda comfy if you achieve a good focus in the activity. I got some funny experiences with this practice, is more fun when you do it when wake up with too much suggestionability in darkness and before sleep. Or you can try at plain sunlight and focus in nature.
>Energy hands or focus in hands
Taoist or magnetic hands
hypnotherapist use this, close your hands in palm forms and focus in it, breath and later try to play like there's a energy between them and ideomotor reflex placebo will act, you can keep focusing or use other methods of meditation very relaxing. You can fake to close them and while you relax and breath you gonna get the fluffy sensation in hands and fingers.

The more you keep doing in focus activity in a routine, the more you gain skill at it. Keep doing (but pls take easy if you force too much your eyes)

I've been meditating on and off for over 10 years. Even attended a couple of meditation retreats. It's so-so. I've had periods where it helped, I've had periods where it seemed to do nothing. I'm still doubtful if meditation has the capacity to be truly transformative in the long term. There's a lot of people out there that have been meditating for a very long time and have nothing to show for it.

A lot of people never keep training concentration, there's too much focus in Vippasana movement. try techniques to gain more concentration like in old pre-sectarian buddhism. you can try first some around ethics and behaviour to gain more focused meditation in life, later add concentration techniques and try experimenting with meditation.
If quiet work amuse you, try soft body movement meditation or first do some soft exercises for your body before doing quiet meditation, this help with breath and body relaxation.

Yep, you got it, this is one of the cores, still your perspective is more into the Soto zen ideas but still very buddhist.

People act like religion is the answer to their problems, it just makes me more depressed Anonymage 03/21/26 (Sat) 02:31:31 No.306449 [Reply][Last 50 Posts]

What is the average wizard's relationship with religion like? No religious person has ever been able to give me a good argument for why God, if he is out there, is not the most maximally evil being in the universe simply by the virtue of creating suffering when he could have chosen not to. Saying "suffering builds character" and derivatives of is just a manifestation of their stockholm syndrome for this vile entity

would anyone really care if you killed yourself? Anonymage 10/30/25 (Thu) 18:29:45 No.303825 [Reply]

Would they? I've been thinking.

My mom is already LDAR'ing due to the debt and she's already lost one child, so I think either by suicide or stress she would die. My dad? He didn't seem to care that much when my stepbro died, but I am his firstborn. I don't know really. My little brother would probably just turn into me. That's my only concern. Everyone else, would cry for a day maybe.

I relate to this very much. My parents allowed one of my older brothers to sexually and physically abuse me every day throughout my childhood. The best feeling ever was cutting them off. Even though I’m homeless, atleast I have a job, and I never have to talk to them ever again. I feel better, and being homeless isn’t even 10% as bad as people say, but I’m still sodapressed.

Anonymage 10/26/26 (Mon) 19:01:25 No.311388

Only my mom, and basically that's the only thing keeping me from doing it. Besides, my parents are old (both 74+) and they likely die if I wasn't here, they're stuck up in the past (specially my boomer dad) and cannot manage in the current world. They're partially the source of my depression so this creates a vicious cycle. My mom is also deluded into thinking I'll "be happy" and "make it" someday (I'm 38).

I wish they died so I can finally rope without guilt but it seems like they'll live up to their 90s (my grandma died at 95). I guess I'll end having a collapse and killing myself anyways, I can't take this anymore and the idea of this loop continuing for years is destroying me

For the fun of it.
The biggest issue is that it is not fun for us, it's puppets. But the observer is ever entertained. And even without entertainment it is perfectly content to just (not) exist.
It doesn't really go through anything, it's immovable and unchanging, just 'feels' and 'watches' the puppet theater. It's fun to observe puppets squeal from suffering as their limbs get torned off and their heads get melted with hot lead.
