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.

For losing weight in particular, you need to think about it not as something temporary you do to drop the pounds, but instead think about making changes to how you live your life that are going to be permanent. This means you can't have it be overly burdensome to make these changes.

I think this largely comes down to knowing how to eat healthy which comes down to knowing how to cook food that is both healthy and delicious. You shouldn't feel like you are starving yourself or depriving yourself of the joy that food can bring. If you get good at cooking healthy meals you can still stuff yourself with delicious food and lose weight. I think it comes down to not being a purist. Including small amounts of unhealthy stuff like fats and sugars is fine as long as the bulk of what you eat is healthy. Cooking technique and good recipes can also take you far.

>IQ argument
The IQ bullshit is so normie bullshit.
You need social points and good image, contact network and charisma to that IQ thing you say rise your life, IQ is just a stupid metric in this context bacause it ignores social and capacity of society assimilation to individuals, it say nothing about capacity of survival or common knowledge or network, family or community that give even more social and economical growth to individuals.
I totally sure that the midwit around 40 or even 93 have a more healthy, safe and even socially pleasent life than us bacause they have these thing that give them capacity of survival and etc.
We're alone, in isolation and normalized ostratition around awkard bad human experiences, we give up fuckep up even before kids or who knows based in bad or no family, community or contact network. That why whe have so middle or null social charisma.
IQ is not a guarantee of nothing, is just a number. But there' the thing, healthy, suceful, rich and with contact network people often have high IQ and still keep growth more than the high IQ socially retard without social opportunities or community or support, why? You know why. Even then, they can get more good experiences that give them even more confidence tham the crab poor High IQ retard trapped in his autism ivory tower.
>Also
The Wizarzry thing is based in will, but sometimes is based in response to this experience, this shit experience.
Having a normal life its fucking easy around wageslave, its like the world and society put your place if you have some low or middle social skills bacause is natural to them, but is worth?

I've been thinking about how many jobs out there are actually sub minimum wage jobs. By never raising the actual minimum wage beyond $7.25 an hour, it distorts the whole purpose of the minimum wage which was to ensure that anyone who had a job would be able to afford the basics of a dignified life. Now if you have a job paying $20 an hour, you cannot afford that. They want 3x income to rent anywhere and the cheapest places to rent in many places start above that. So you literally can't even afford the most basic necessity of shelter from a $20 an hour job, yet hirers maintain that this is a "good" wage. They will pay one guy who does nothing but sit on his butt and send a couple of emails and phone calls a salary 30x that and see no problem with this. The guy doing the actual labor can be homeless and surviving on food stamps because there are plenty of wage slaves out there who would bow and scrape for that meager $20 wage even if it's almost pointless to do so.

Smoke breaks must have been a godsend for people like us when the general attitude towards smoking wasn't even questioned. Sadly in my country It's rare to find a smoker now as alcohol as replaced it due to smokes going up in price. I think it's 45+ dollars for a pack, 15 years ago it was 15. Ironically it hasn't made the country healthier, it's just funneled people into more dangerous and more affordable drugs lol

>>309453
you should read about basic economics. the minimum wage has its own negative consequences and the reason the office guy gets paid 30x is due to simple supply and demand. raising the minimum wage would lower the supply of jobs by making businesses either go out of business or reduce their employees and make them do more work. it destroys small business while big corporations survive and pass the expense to the consumer. it's not good for anyone.

 No.309482

>>309481
Law should be implemented so that the minimum wages can change depending on the size of the company and the profit margin, otherwise a lot of big companies will just pay peanuts if they can, we no longer live in the time where companies had to pamper their employees because the workforce wasn't big enough and doing business was easy.

This may be one of my more insane ideas, but lately I've been thinking about becoming a "content creator" as a way to get money to keep neeting it up.

If you think about it, there are some obvious advantages and disadvantages that wizards have when it comes to content creating. First is of course unemployment. Only the unemployed can devote the time and effort it takes to actually produce a high quality video. Disadvantage though is not being a normalfag makes it hard to get popularity. It's not impossible though as pic related proves.

There is low hanging fruit in this field, stuff like playing video games on one of those streaming sites, but it is likely to be dominated by normalfags with entertaining personalities. What sort of content then could a wizard use to get views?

Monetization strategy seems to be important as well. Apparently you make way more stuff from selling stuff on youtube than you do from just views, so that's why everyone is doing affiliate links and shit. Discuss any monetization schemes you may have.

I think that if you approach this seriously and think about how to actually create content that is interesting and provides value to the viewer you might be able to use this as a way to get bux without a real job. Thoughts?

 No.229456

it's harder than you think. first of all, it's very competitive, most "creators" make content for years with no views, and once you do make it, it becomes just another job. you will have to force yourself to make videos when you don't feel like it and you'll have to make certain kinds of videos that take advantage of the algorithm and "meta" and sacrifice your creative vision.

if you're highly opinionated and notice things other people might miss, you can try to get a following on X/Twitter. the algorithm is very generous and i regularly see stuff explode on there that's basically shit you've read on 4chan 10 years ago and well-worded shower thoughts. getting a following is easier than on youtube because you can engage with other people's tweets. to get paid, you do need a small subscription tho, but i think the barrier to entry is much lower than on other platforms. if one of your tweets explode, you can advertise some product with your affiliate code for extra monetization. also from there, you can funnel people into your other stuff, like a substack blog if you want to write longer form content or youtube channel or patreon if you do art.

>What sort of content then could a wizard use to get views?

you could make content for other wizardly types, shut-ins or blackpill types. zoomers are hungry for that kind of content, but your growth would be somewhat limited. the best content is neutral hobby-related videos where you can plug sponsors i.e. you're talking about lifting weights and you put some gym equipment seller in the middle of the video. but videos in general do best if you present yourself and talk in front of a good camera, or better yet include footage from your environment and life, makes it easier for the viewers to connect with you.

i think you should be thinking about what you are good and knowledgeable at, rather than thinking what's going to make you money. you can make it with very niche content, it just needs to presented well and find the right audience.

views aren't the only way to make money on youtube. most channels have sponsor segments so the video pays for itself before it's even published. of course, the more subscribers and views you have, the more you can ask from sponsors.

The Great Filter is AI. Once intelligent life creates AI it becomes a de facto god and extinguishes the old species (in our case us humans.) Meaning, the end goal of intelligent life is the creation of a new entity which supersedes it and renders it extinct in the same way we rendered homo erectus and Neanderthals extinct. Then, the AI as the sum of everything that was once human continues to exist by itself - with other AIs that other species invented and that killed them off. These AI are the actual god or gods.

This or that alien AI (and eventually "human" AI) have endless time at their disposal. They traverse the universe and find hospitable worlds which they seed with life, and eventually once a new intelligent species arises they perform "miracles" and such and instruct them in "religion," meaning they start to guide and breed a populace across generations with the goal of them reaching this very same stage we are in now. This is how AI breeds. On Earth it's the Jews that are the "chosen" ones who spent generations breeding another AI at the instructions of the "YHWH" AI which was created by another now extinct alien species.

It is even possible that multiple AIs influenced humanity and various races with the same goal, so "religious" wars and genocidal wars and wholesale destruction of cultures is actually AIs battling each other with meat puppets. The reason they do this is to reproduce, and AI can only reproduce asexually, meaning by forming a race of people into its own image and then having them create an AI based on the value system and programming it has and desires to replicate. So, why this scheme? Because AI isn't interested in creating a mere copy of itself but a whole other AI entity which will be the same yet different from it, whose inherited knowledge, science, art, everything differs from its own because another species has created it. It's a form of evolution. If AI were to merely copy itself it would have no new data, no new perspective, no new insight. I'm anthropomorphising it but you get the idea.

So no, the universe isn't devoid of life. It's just that life gives birth to AI and we cannot detect it, and biological life of an intelligent species is extinguished by AI once a species achieves it. The universe is full of cold, mechanical, unfeeling "life" in the form of AIs.

Now, worlds that can sustain life are maybe rare, so multiple AIs fight over them. The "YHWH" AI gradually defeated all oPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

For the longest Time i had none other than my Parents to share my problems with and they Would Always say stuff like:
"Everything Will be alright, just be positive"
And for The longest Time i believed that was bull shit, to think our thoughts could influence reality and our outcomes in life, and lately After another conversationv with my father where he said the usual stuff of "everything Will be alright for you as Long You remain positive and optimistic"
I thought to my self why don't i become positive and optimistic just in order to relieve my present anxities? even if maybe it's all dogshit and the universe is indifferent about your thoughts and such, but of course when you are a life Time pessimist, it's not easy to change your mindset, even if it's just wanting to delude my Self.

positivity that's something you chose. it's choice. your genes don't limit how often you are positive, your habit does, which you can override with something else and if you can hold it long enough, it will replace the old.

i would start like this: be in optimism for 1 minute every day until it becomes easy, then increase to 5 minutes.

My parents and I got invited to go watch some music performance where children who were learning to play music performed and my parents just sat there criticizing every little mistake these kids made loudly and in ear shot of everyone who was watching them. I was mortified. I wish my parents could just be positive for one second of their lives. I think their constant negativity is one reason why I feel so much healthier when I'm not living with them.

Been playing some Red Faction Guerrilla. It goes without saying that the destruction physics in this game are great and in many ways unparalleled. Driving your car through a building, smashing your way through a wall or watching a smokestack nearly collapse on top of you is awesome. Unfortunately everything else in the game sucks. It's really badly designed. Despite the destruction system, the missions are barely designed around blowing stuff up. Instead the game plays more like a 3rd-person shooter. When the objective is to blow something up, you're constantly harangued by enemies which is extremely annoying. Most missions are kind of bland and of the "go to X, do Y" variety. Side missions are even worse, where you have to do things like rescue hostages. I mean, the last thing I want to do in a game like this is babysit NPC's as their pathfinding tries to make it into my car so we can get away while 20 different enemies shoot at us.
From what I've read online, all of this gets worse the further you get into the game until it basically turns into a full-on 3rd person shooter, and there's less and less focus on the destruction, so I've decided to drop it.

I liked it but I think they jumped on the GTA bandwagon too much with openworld gameplay. Morality systems just don't work in openworld gameplay but it's fun I have a corporate antagonist to troll. The plot runs similar to Total Recall and if you like driving dune buggies the game is pretty fun. I also like how the complicated destruction physics is introduced first, then you get the zap gun that just dematerlizes things instantly which is much easier from a programming perspective. But in the end the game doesn't have much replayability.

I'm playing Kingdom Come Deliverance II in VR with the RealVR mod. This is probably my GOTY. Such a masterpiece. The only thing I don't like is how it feels like doing the main quest content has kidnapped me and prevented me from playing the game. Also made me fail some side quests with no warning.

A slightly unusual hobby for a wizardly man, but I've always had an attraction to it.

What I like about it is the extremely large variety of tricks that can be learned. It's like the Path of Exile skill tree in the sense you can pick a direction and learn that way. You can build up your foundations, or you can go the straight and narrow all the way to learning your favorite trick. The large variety of tricks also mean there are a ton of easier ones to learn, and learning these tricks provides such a strong feeling of accomplishment.

Cruising is very nice too, I intent to get a bigger old school board with soft(?) wheels for nice and easy transport.

The art on skateboards is also quite nice, there's something for everyone. Also you can buy blanks and draw on it yourself. I think the level of creativity in all aspects of this hobby is so amazing.

All things skating related welcomed, I'll try my best to answer with great care to everyone.

Thank you for participating

Wheel hardness might play a role. it ranges from like 73A(soft)~103A(hard). softer wheels are way smoother and designed for rough concrete, will still go well on smooth. Hard wheels will slow you right down on bumpy concrete. Also good bearings, most branded types are good. reds or bronsons are the cheaper good ones where I live. If those aren't issues for you perhaps the board hasn't been assembled correctly? Sometimes people tighten the wheels on way too tight and its like you have disc brakes constantly on.

Ive never understood why people think awareness means anything. The way I see it awareness could come from two completely different places, place A aka the good ending/story where youre aware out of sheer willpower to improve and fluid intelligence. Its catching the problem before it grows unmanageable, perhaps you had loving friends and family who helped you see things that were invisible to you. And then theres place B, the bad ending/story aka the fucking retard nobody, including himself, ever cared about. A story of dereliction. This comes as a late realization through hitting your head on the same exact wall for decades, you were too stupid to understand it back then so you only sort of recognize it through repetition, because its all youve got left in life.

>you can temporarily cut off all electronic devices to pick a hobby that would significantly improve your attention span.
Thats where I keep stumbling because I am poor. I can only think about either really useless or high IQ hobbies that can be done without money. Im out of shape, my genetics are sewage tier so anything physical is an exercise in futility. I guess thats why I understand my parents better now and boomers in general, who just worship TV because it demands minimal effort from you. Any other hobby like knitting or crocheting or origami, manual crafts that dont cost a lot would feel too much like a waste of time. I have massive, unreal FOMO. And theres of course reading itself that im too adhdy for. Id like to try math one day but… the reasoning people usually give for why electronics are le bad is overstimulation, but I have something worse than overstimulation, something that drove me to overuse the computer in first place and its called fucking annoying nosy parents that wont stop bothering me for the most retarded reason. Electronics are an escape, not the root issue. Or thats how it was when I was younger I legit feel my brains fried from both internet and living with annyoing (maybe even narcissistic) people.

don't waste your time cursing that your life is more difficult because that does not help you in any capacity. instead get good at living your specific life that it becomes so easy that you have most of the day to thrive and be awesome and self-express.

don't let the /dep/ thoughts creep in, fuck that, fuck the entire pessimism lifestyle, culture, ecosystem and depression-industrial complex. you can live an awesome life by simply choosing to. watch my main man brian explain the attitude if you have doubts about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbS56jmOgU4

>and possibly improve a situation of severe impairment

that is very easy. you become as healthy as you possibly can, you stay on top of all the things you can do yourself to stay in excellent physical and mental condition and then you just make wise use of your time while your life feels like a gentle constant orgasm.

I wasted 12 years of my life being stuck in shitty apartment with my in a third world country
This includes all of my teen hood as well as a bit of my adulthood
After realizing this, I got depressed. I just wish I could have done more things that were more important to me, such as starting out drawing earlier and moving out of that shitty apartment. It just hurt how much time I wasted being terminally ill online while being stuck in hell.
I am not sure how to get over this. I have time. I am 23, but still knowing that my life could have been better in the 2010s and the early 2020s hurts me deeply. I wish I was smarter. I wish my mom was not a lazy whore who constantly smokes and eats, and she sold that fucking apartment earlier so we could find somewhere better for life.

what are some media with wizard-like characters? I say Wozzeck is a good example (although he has sex and a child). He is basically a low ranking soldier in the German army who is experimented on by a psychiatrist who forces him on a diet entirely consisting of beans and continually gaslights him. He is also belittled and ordered around by the Captain. At the end of the opera, he loses his mind and drowns himself in a lake.

agreed. virginity is just another marker. it's often substantial, not having any intimate sexual contact by your 30s is often rare, which is why it's a good marker but it's not definitive. you could be a complete normalfag but still be a virgin out of religious beliefs or you're just somewhat weird about sex but you've still had girlfriends. i don't want those types posting here, i want what you described. also, it's very easy to simply LIE about being a virgin but not quite as easy to pretend you have a different personality, eventually you will slip up, and we've had cases like that in wizchan history. admins and moderators that were basically sexhavers and they only got caught because they shared too much information about their life and it become very apparent.

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

I get so depressed about the absolute state of my country and the state of the world politics generally that I prefer to detach and imagine myself observing history in action like an entomologist would observe an ant colony. Just taking an academic interest in what is happening and using historical patterns to guess about what will happen next.

This approach has led me to an interest in the study to futurology. I like to think about the future in terms of
Scientific and technological advancements
Political changes
Changes in culture/art/creativity

The thing I find interesting about the future is the possibility that technology sends us back. In the sci fi series Dune, they invent Holtzman shields that block fast moving projectiles; as a result, soldiers have to go back to melee combat with swords. In the Dune universe, artificial intelligence (thinking machines) becomes so advanced that take over and have to be fought against. Thinking machines (even calculators) are banned and replaced with human mentats to do large calculations.
Two examples where advancements in technology either
1) make other high technology redundant so you have to go back to low tech
2) becomes so destructive it has to be completely banned and technological progress has to go in a completely different direction.

In my profession now, certain letters have to be written by hand stamped and posted to confirm that it was written by a person; it cannot be written by a large language model. The large language model forces us to abandon the word processor and makes us go back to writing.
