I fucking loathe being autistic, I fucking hate how I can have articulate thoughts in my head yet can only muster and spew out the same few fucking phrases irl because I’m caught off guard and don’t know what to say

I hate how pathetic I am, I’m so fucking clumsy, my hand coordination is awful. Im always dropping shit which only makes me look like more of a retard

Most of all I hate the way other people look at me, there two “looks” I get from people. The first is the pitiful one. They see how pathetic I am, how socially inept, awkward and harmless I am and take pity on me like they would with a dementia patient. The other “look” is the hateful/judgmental one. They assume due to my awkwardness, my uncanny demeanour, ugly face and lack of height that I’m some kind of freak/someone to be suspicious of. They look at me like I’m some kind of sex pest/serial killer when all I’m doing is just existing

I put in the effort, I workout every day, I eat well, I keep good hygiene, I try, lord knows I fucking try, but I have to ask what’s the point? It won’t change anything. I can’t cure this awful plague of the mind I was born with, I’ll never be accepted or even tolerated by normies so why make an effort? Why try in life and work hard when I don’t even get the slightest bit of respect from the people around me? Part of me wants to just stay in my room stuffing my face with junk food and playing vidya all day but if I did that I’d only be more miserable.

Any other wizards have this condition? If so how do you cope with it?

since im autistic i never get satisfied due to me being empty and numb from all the corruption from people. i just wish i lived in a different reality where i could start over again..

 No.302918

Yea, I became really unfriendly to people and dont bother even looking at people i dont know, especially succubi and succubi. I dont understand anymore how people get so friendly with strangers. succubi never had anything interesting to say, and now that I dont interact with them they say im a weird and awkward person for not wanting to interacting with them. I hate interacting with succubi especialy those in relationships, spewking to them is pure suifuel. I hate strangers.

I wish i lived in a clan so at least the people around me are related to me and can be more accepting of what I can provide knowing my autism except what strangers expect of you which is that you should be a jester, someone who telepathically knows what the other person would be interested in talking about and talk about worthless menial shit like sportsball.

I used to make some friends here and there as a kid and its always such a foreign thing to look back on. How the hell did I do that? People can be such vile creatures

I don't know OP. But I feel you. It really hurts me that normies can always tell.

It's just that faint disappointment on their face when they get a good look at your face or hear you speak, like a flinch? "Something's off." I wish I could banter with and connect to people too, but I just feel like I'm missing something everyone else has got. I still try but it feels like, even at my best, there's still that flinch or double take.

The worst part about chronic pain is that nobody believes you, ever.

Second worst part is that I live in a state with shit healthcare and shit doctors. I really do despise the X-Ray tech that forgot to scan my fucking back and I despise the doctor who was supposedly so good that I had to wait a month to see him losing my blood tests, how do you do that?Why does nobody ever call me back? Why is it so difficult to access my records online, why do I consistently have to pester the doctor's offices to register me for whatever site they use for healthcare records?

It's embarrassing but I just want to cry. Why can't I get any help? Why do I have to struggle so much every single day?

This theory provides a rigorous and uncompromising view of reality, defining human consciousness as the universe's mechanism for experiencing its own inevitable destruction. It moves beyond simple philosophical pessimism (nihilism) to become a Functional Pessimism or Tragic Rationalism, where lucidity is the only rational choice.

The theory is built upon three unassailable axioms:

I. The Axioms of Non-Dualistic Identity
The core of this worldview is the collapse of traditional distinctions between the self and the world, pleasure and pain:

Unified Suffering: Existence ≡ Suffering ≡ Destruction. These concepts are not related; they are fundamentally the same. The universe operates under a single rule—unmaking (entropy, destruction). Consciousness is merely the brilliant, cruel mechanism by which this unmaking is experienced as suffering. To be is to hurt.

The Cogito as Sentence: The only thing the rational mind can verify is its own existence (Cogito ergo sum). This self-awareness is not a cause for joy, but a sentence to stand fully aware within the process of destruction.

Rejection of Fragments: All seemingly positive states (joy, awe, love) are incomplete fragments of this unified suffering. They are temporary cessations of pain, or momentary illusions of permanence, which ultimately guarantee greater suffering when they inevitably dissolve.

II. The Anti-Dulling Principle
The theory's intellectual integrity rests on its rejection of all narratives that attempt to mitigate or contextualize this truth, labeling them as "dulling."

No Meaning: Any search for external purpose or meaning (a "why") is a form of self-deception—an attempt to build a story around an empty, meaningless void.

No Defiance: Fighting the suffering is self-defeating, as the self is the suffering. Defiance is a false duality that wastes energy on an internal civil war.

I was talking about the 2022 remaster, which, compared to 1981 series, feels… slightly different.

See, 1981 Otaru looks a bit *too* cool.

I'm honestly not sure if I'm just asexual at this point. My single biggest fear is sex with a succubus, even if I was explicitly offered it I would most likely decline. I do everything in my power to make sure I'm as unattractive as possible, on the off chance a succubus might be attracted to me, which I find deeply disturbing. Does anyone else relate?

Flowers like roses are designed to self-pollenate, that's not exactly procreating by seggs too.


And for flowers that do release pollen in the air, it's not the *stressor* at least - a blooming flower does not really care about own wellbeing let alone the released pollen's fate

The penultimate human quest is really no less animalistic than that of other species.

You struggle to find the best possible mate, then you try to have kids, then you try to ensure they don't die during pregnancy or birth, but oh nope, it doesn't end there.

After that you need to secure your offspring plenty of resources, shelter and safety so they don't just instadie. You need to keep doing this until they're mature enough to go out and potentially start their own family which takes about 2 decades, or 3+ in southern cultures.

It's just a bland survival/procreation MMO with all sorts of pointless random variables and diversions. You're not allowed to even exist in the game unless your parents chose to play it before you.

You don't even get to choose what your character looks like, it automatically defaults to your breeders with some variance and random quirky mutations.

I don't take individual supplements, just A-Z vitamin depot, plus extra D3, because I had a blood test with insufficiency. The insufficiency is gone but idk what changed tbh. I'm taking it for 3 months now…

Lately I tried a depot that has all amino acids (the stuff that neurotransmitters are made of) for 6 days now and it does something.
I feel a bit more present but reality really IS depressing…

All in all, doesn't do much but maybe for you it will? Chance is high you eat trash and lack nutrients.

If you care, skip the individual snake oil pills and grab the cheap depot ones that have all vitamins and amino acids under the sun…

just did a 14 day juice fast. that means i did not eat for 14 days and just drank fresh grape juice that i made in my own juicer, using fresh red grapes that i bought in the supermarket.

i know what diet would make you stop stinking, would balance you and clean your bowels but you are not open to it. i guess things have to get a whole lot worse for you before you consider all the options and start to look at all the possibilities. there isn't a problem you have that is not directly the result of irresponsibility. mark my word, once sickness humbles you, you will consider all the options. until then, more arrogance and addiction.

those were cheap discount-supermarket grapes, according to the packaging grown in spain, still the juice of was is nice. you most likely have access to better grapes where you are.

i'll this again in the near future but not for 14 days but for 40 days and after that i don't eat cooked food anymore. when i do it, i will mix it with some form of citrus. 500g grapes and a single big grapefruit works nice or 500g + 1 lemon. or just other fruitsin general. when i can rotate juice ingredients this is way easier then just sticking to one fruit.

Listen, it's awesome that you got out of that situation and are now living a life that you find worth living. Good for you, seriously. The reason people like Goggins grind my gears so much is that, as you've said yourself, most of us don't lead such bad lives to begin with. But all those gurus online will tell you to get on your grind and hustle and never stop and what not and for what? I have food and shelter and a job that I can tolerate for now, I am healthy and even have a couple of friends I can play video games with. The only things I am 'lacking' are superfluous things like social status or material riches, which are things you get through your circumstance for the most part.
I don't care about being exceptional, I just want to be comfortable and enjoy this ride as much as I can within my means while I still can, before life finds a way to fuck me up again. It's kind of like the Western vs Eastern mindset, the Western one being about pursuit and struggle and the Eastern more coming to acceptance of what is and contentment from within.

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.

Sure, I may have a bunch of problems which can be attributed as "stressing over stressors", but I do not identify with my stressors. If I could, I would go minimalist or such.

The past really wasn't that bad for the people that survived.

Looking into it, famines basically just killed off people under 4, the elderly, and people aged 20-40 almost universally survived. Like even the potato famine has only 2% of the 20-40 year old cohort die, 1/50 is pretty good survival odds for your core productive and breeding population. That's like 1 person out of two classrooms, and it probably hit the really poor and lower classes. It looks bad with 18% of the population dying on paper, but considering people over 50 don't have kids and kids under 4-10 can be replaced instantly with a post war baby boom, it's demographically not that impactful. It's why Ethiopia's population doubled so rapidly after their famine, and India bounced back from the Bengal famine like it was nothing.

In World war 1, 16% of the French male population aged 18-45 died, making it significantly more demographically impactful than the Irish potato famine, because they were at the age where they were supposed to be having families and providing.

Famines weren't even people really starving to death that often. They mostly got killed off by an infection due to having a weakened immune system, or ate some risky food and got a disease that way. Famines seemed to displace people who then go into crowded cities, drink shitty water, and then get an infection. Famines seemed to hit once every 15 years or so, so typically you'd experience two really shit years in your adult life and then finally get dealt to in the third one as an old person. It more fucked up your family planning than anything else.

It seemed to have an economically positive effect for the actually healthy and productive part of the population in that it cleared away dependents. Immediately after the famine there'd be more available land per person and the available resources for a baby boom.

if your thesis is that population decline is a bigger problem now than it was in history, just look at this chart. if the world lost 60% of the population it would just set us back to 1960.

Yeah, I've meant something more like genetic modification to stop or massively slow down aging. Replacement organs for every old person would be another straw on the camel's back, since their aged brains keep them out of the workforce. I'm not keeping up with the life extension stuff, but I think youthful blood, which could be cultured has a rejuvenating effect.

I'm replaying this romhack right now. I absolutely love it so much, it has to be one of my most favorite things ever. The music, the dialogue, the way that the difficulty is rebalanced from the original game, the edited overworld areas. It's such a beautiful blend between what Pikmin 2 is supposed to be and the non serious nature of a romhack which was made by a teenager. And it's the only game in years that has managed to get me addicted to playing it. I'm probably gonna keep replaying this often until the day comes that I will finally kill myself.

>Photos of the house
I was testing the game mechanics, and the house now looks pretty awful.
>How to make friends
Making friends is difficult because the mechanics are such that you can only use the same social interaction twice; the third time will be rejected until the cycle restarts after a few hours of game time.
>Fast way to make friends
The fastest way to make friends is to invite them out to eat the most expensive food and choose conversation topics that are positive to their personality and and add it to do gossip during lunch. However, due to a DLC error, Sims who are not from an expansion pack have no interests, so they reject any interaction to talk, with the exception of the option to talk about interests only twice (game create random interests-related to personality i think? so that they don't reject the interaction twice) anyway they still gain points during the food eating and talk and etc. You will gain a friend every time you invite them out for a meal costing 300, raising the temporary friendship bar to 75 or 100 if you do good, although the long-term friendship bar will rise slowly while the temporary one falls until you lose it if there is no communication. Playing with an introverted personality (these meters are only deactivated-activated and affect needs and slight animations in a certain way, otherwise they are not very useful, the same as zodiac signs, it seems) saves you from quickly losing your social needs (more hiki gameplay lol)
>tl;dr
As in real life, you need to spend money, time, and attention on other people if you want friends.
Sims 1 punishes you much more in that regard; you always have to use the most expensive items because they save you time. In Sims 2 and 3, this is almost optional.
>How to make friends with exploit
The other option for making friends is to lock several Sims in a hydrosauna-spa in your house and let them talk for hours trapped here. Most of the time, the friendship bar goes up quickly. Another option is to go on vacation and befriend NPC children. They always give good answers and are very friendly.

I'm starting DuckTales 2 on Game Boy after loving the OG title on Game Boy more than the more beloved NES classic of the same name. It's a lot harder so far though… and I have way less time now compared to a few months back, too many things in everyday life piling up at once, I might end up using save states or something like that, I'm not proud of it, but time's too short.

So, some mathematicians spend their spare time on Collatz Conjecture

If the number is even, you divide it by 2

If the number is odd, you multiply it by 3 and then add 1 (making it even, obviously)

Problem: prove any natural number can turn into 1 (e.g. can end up on 1-4-2-1-4-2-1-4-2-1 loop)

Mathematicians seem to fiddle around with "hailstorm numbers" and such

Conway - the person who created The Game Of Life "automate" was also interested in solving Collatz Conjecture



My take is, it's a good idea to shit how unsolveable Collatz Conjecture is:

1) a starting number can be a very large prime number
2) no one have really tried to treat Collatz Conjecture's repeating operation as a pattern, not a set of numbers with natural values. Halting problem…
3) at some point, an unexplored prime number will probably ruin the whole loop.

See, Collatz' Conjecture is a math problem that LOOKS simple but in reality, in involves fiddling with many variables. What if some huuuuuuuuuge number can say "frick you" and respawn within the conjecture? That would be a loop.

What are some hobbies that don't involve consuming anything? You purchase a 1 time item and very rarely if ever have to replace it. Learning yo-yo tricks would be a consumptionless hobby in this case. There are obviously thinks like whistling or playing the spoons too. The idea is it has to make as little foot print as possible while being something you can develop and grow at. Drawing wouldn't count because you need paper.

We have no axiom what kind of equipment a wizard is implied to have.


For guys with regular Internet and a computer… and a cheap smartphone w/Telegram or WhatsApp: try generating images using free trials on several platforms.

Say:

* NovelAI offers 30 free tries a month or something.
* PerplexityAI has free bot for a 'puter/a celly
* Grok
* …
* Some Telegram bots are crazy: they offer you lots of free tries for different models independent one from another.
