Hobbies that don't deserve their own thread Anonymage 02/17/18 (Sat) 19:55:05 No.41994[Reply][Last 50 Posts]

Every other board has their own /general/ and it might be better to post about little known hobbies here, rather than have a new thread that gets 2 replies.

How about horseback riding?

Astrology Anonymage 03/13/22 (Sun) 22:02:14 No.61466 [Reply]

Are any wizards interested in astrology? I've recently got into it and become very passionate about it. It's definetely true, and i've also started to developing my own theories that i'm hopefully going to refine with time.

I've been studying astrology for a year now, focusing on horary astrology. The problem is that I don't have anywhere to practice. I was thinking about using this thread, but I don't think it would be the right use.

AI can get stuff wrong that's why I suggest copying the entire site it makes sure the context is closer to correct. This is a good way to start though is very different from how I'd actually read a chart now just getting a basic familiarity with the concepts is very helpful.

other than that Chris Brennan's material is good

He has a book on it as well but I haven't yet it read, it's generally considered a very good modern introduction to serious astrology. I basically just read random stuff and talked to ai about it before going straight into medieval/greek texts which might be hard to start with…
The first 4 chapters of ptolemy's tetrabiblos i think is a good introduction to the ideas of what astrology is in general though
https://sacred-texts.com/astro/ptb/index.htm
or just post yours and I can point you into interesting things to dig into for yours in particular

In general just looking at your own chart and figuring it out is what I'd recommend.

That's some grim foreshadowing. After they keep mentioning it I don't think the abbey will escape a war between Hannegan and Denver now. At least it looks like they are about to finish their mission of preserving old world knowledge until it can be used again. Thon Thaddeo will carry the torch now so it won't really be a burning of Alexandria.

"It may take generations to evaluate and understand some of these things. It is unfortunate that they must remain here in this inaccessible place, for it will take a concentrated effort by numerous scholars to make meaning of them. I am sure you realize that your present facilities are inadequate—not to mention 'inaccessible' to the rest of the world."

This chapter plays like a miniature of the Renaissance, at least as far as its main theme. Science must rise, based on the old world, organized theology did its part keeping ancient knowledge safe to cross safely the gab of the dark ages and now it must be 'returned' to the world.

Alright this is the part where I think the symbolism went over my head. What's up with Benjamin and the Thon? I think Benjamin was waiting for a Messiah of sort. Idk what the messiah is supposed to save him from in this case, his loneliness? His burden? He came to verify if Thon Thaddeo, which I assume represents science and progress, is the messiah for him and determine that he was not. So science and learning is not the savior he is looking for but again savior from what? War as an extension of the original sin? Thon Thaddeo make a speech about how the path to ignorance being replaced by truth is going to be bloody and violent but the world is already violent as it is. Is the author's message here that humans are doomed to their original sin, that is to always wage war, regardless if they live in primitive ignorance or high tech enlightenment and that science will not be the one to save them from their sin? For Benjamin, to save himself from his burden of carrying the history of his people, which Dom Paulo equated to the original sin of humans? That is my best interpretation of the event so far. There is definitely something meaningful in the interaction between characters. The poet probably represent something too I am not sure. Sounds like he is just pointing out the absurdity of everybody.

"No, no—Twelve centuries ago, not even the survivors profited. Must we start down that road again?"

The cycle of humanity goes through is fully exposed in this chapter. Rebirth and destruction, or, to quote a video game that appropriated a lot from this book; War. War never changes.

This one has a lot of narrative about Poet again. If you're looking for an auxiliary reading, check out this site; https://www.coursehero.com/lit/A-Canticle-for-Leibowitz/. It gives you a summary of each chapter with an analysis to go along with it, pretty interesting stuff. I'm using it myself.

I swear there was a thread for this. Oh well. My first attempt at doing something in Godot. It's mostly code spaghettied together from tutorials and reading the engine's documentation. Let me know if you play it, and definitely let me know if you manage to beat it. The pain level is hard but doable. AD for movement and J or W for jumping, Enter for start. Gamepads also work.

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.
Inexpensive, cheapest on the store market.

I had a dream where I was browsing the Nintendo 3DS e-shop even though I haven't done that in maybe 10 years. Somehow I found a way to browse games by their developer and I was just going past a bunch of shovelware devs until I suddenly hit one that triggered a remote code execution exploit and infected my 3DS with malware.
The e-shop closed and my top screen started showing live footage of the inner camera while the bottom screen was some weird picture that somebody stitched together in Photoshop. There was a TTS voice telling the developer to make a desert-themed game. When that voice finished there was a sudden jump scare which played at maximum volume despite my volume slider being low. It scared the shit out of me. Afterwards it showed a popup saying that the video of me being jumpscared was being uploaded to their servers and that I should not power off the system while it was doing so. I tried using the internet slider to turn my 3DS' wifi connection off before the upload was complete but that didn't work.
After that I tried turning my 3DS off and on again but instead of going to the home menu the same exact sequence was just played again. This time the popup after the jumpscare said that this will now happen every single time I turn my 3DS on. All I did before I woke up after that was panick over the fact that some guy somewhere had a video of me being jumpscared.

I did the thing where I questioned the reality of my dream characters and they immediately turned silent and disappeared. I was sitting at a diner with a man and a talking dog and I said to them, "I wish I had writers like you two who gave me witty things to say. It's hard coming up with my own material. Wait, it's all just coming from my subconscious, isn't it?". And they just stared for a moment and then they were gone. There were some background characters in the diner but they acted like video game NPCs and had indistinct dialogue and only conversed amongst each other. The dream lost any sense of narrative after that.

As if to say fuck you, the dream booted me out and now I am wide awake at 2:00 AM. Not even my dreams want me.

Yes, its possible to developed caffeine addiction, I had a huge caffeine addiction when I was young, I would get headaches if I didnt drink coffe and I had trouble to sleep.

Nothing worthy of shock videos online or anything, but more of a life/outlook observation: strip back the systems of control - government, religion, wealth (and wealth disparity). What's left are people just trying to get through their day. They probably won't be anything great, and after a generation or two most will be forgotten. I'm cool with that and aspire to non-greatness myself.

>cut off stupid "food" like candy and soda, use your sugars strategically

A useful diet tidbit. If you're a food enthusiast, transform your meal into a delish by using different seasoning and adapting existent recipes to your goals. For example, I make yakisoba with extra meat and vegetables and less noodles.
A huge beef or chicken thigh with great seasoning and some BBQ sauce (here's your strategic sugar) as a full meal, for instance. If you think the sodium is too much, chug down your water. Impossible to feel empty. And an idea for a snack:
>ground lean meat (80%)

Make meatballs with those ingredients, go light on the seasoning and store them in the freezer. Whenever you crave for crap food, shove some of these bad boys in an air fryer and you're good to go.

I don't deadlift because I am too tall and have slipped discs in my back. Wish I could tho.

I wont be reading all the replies but I am also addicted to eating and how I go about not eating all day is drinking a lot of water and tea. Makes me feel full and drinking a cup of tea almost gives me the same feeling as snacking. And if you really want something to eat just eat rice cakes, celery and stuff like that

Random, VERY RANDOM piece of advice from a 30-something fatty who gets his food from a bakery/from his mum

If you're like me - as in not designed for high education - you really, REALLY ought to try to upgrade yourself to a cook, who *professes* at spending his time to process fine stock into fine food.

I mean, a proper *trades school* cook - if you are a NEET - would give a job that allows you both a earn $$ salary (not $ poor, not $$$ rich, but have some room for fun) AND you'll probably get a chance to recycle undemanded food as your extra calorie supply, kekw.
