>I feel like BBQing could be a fun hobby.
It's one of the original hobbies going back to caveman times. Standing by a fire and watching raw meat slowly turn in to a delectable meal is a form of meditation. Learning subtle ways to manipulate the meat on the grill to turn out better, how to season and prepare meat for your distinct tastes.. It's a primal self-serving hobby that can also be used to feed your entire family (of tulpas)

>can't afford to risk ending up in a wheelchair,
If you had a horse, you wouldn't need a wheelchair at all. You have a living quadruped chair that can take you places.

What shoes do you guys use to skateboard?

>>71163
Anything but skateboard shoes, because I'm not a conformist

>>71164
They look great anyway

Sorry to reply so late. Work has been killing me as they forced me to become a manager.

My dad is using a runner machine, it's working good for him as he's still able bodied. My mother is a total lost cause. Body is an overweight blob. bones made of brittle wood. Mentally ill. Just impossible, best to let her die as peacefully as possible at this point.

Very interesting. I really must do the same. 29 too. I eat like a kid with essentially no parental guidance. I feel my body rejecting it now though.

Oh yep it's a skill we all must learn. These days people are so brazen it's unbelievable. Every set of traffic lights has a gang of people asking for change and intimidating people. I learned that driving an ugly car that has moss growing on it has them not bother with me unless they're bored or particularly assholey. I hate how the world is going.

Please do share anything new, I'd love to read it

I've bought a bunch of DC ones as I could get them all for like 20~30USD a pair WITH free shipping. They seem way worse than they were a decade ago, but whatever, same price if not lower than unbranded shoes from the store so I'll use them. There was one pair I used once when I was forced to go to a work course, 6 hours of causal wear and the logo inside the soul was all crumpled up?? Bad sign? Lol. Either way the ones I've used for actual skating have held up decently well but my version of 6 months of skating vs 10 years ago is so radically different

I'd count drawing if you go for digital, get a tablet and a stylus, and then you're good to go! Even cheaper ones work well, I use a cheap used tablet and a capacitive stylus.

You can buy a cards and learn how to play

Everything is a consumption

>>54403
>watching vidoes is consumption

thas rite! my nig i mean wizzard right dere! finally someone who gets it in this forsaken place. these technologic advanced fat people from the wall-e movie meme probably all browse wizchan.

i recently found out those little fruit trays made from plastic that keep accumulating so hard in my kitchen are PET plastic and that means i could shredder it, dry it and turn it into free 3d printer filament. i consider starting to 3d print because of that because that way it wouldn't be consumption. buying filament would be consumption.

Hi there, i the Psychonautic Wizz
>Golden Dawn stuff
We all know is all made up but the techniques worked back in time and even when the gd members learned that's all made up and even after that, why? Who knows. Florence Farr and Crowley are the best examples, Assuption of godforms sound like a method actor technique to alter your personality for a while, banishing and invocation can turn your mind chill, holy, focused if you achieve the experience, evocation is like a pray and can let you feel safe or relaxed, visualizations can relax and focus your mind and body, Kabalistic tree can be used as a mnotechnique device for memory arts, you learn to sing and to move in soft ways in rituals and that focus more your mind, you learn color theory, art, history, myth, Hypnosis and beliefs. You learn how to make talisman that maybe work or not but the whole process is kinda hypnotic to your mind and the new material thing with supposed occult hidden forces attached to it. You learn new ways to think and in same way can achieve altered states of mind thanks to focus in rituals, associations, colors, smells, tattwas, etc. You achieve OBE and a lot of interesting experiences. Sigils can be a kinda art therapy and learn you no-attachment to results if you get in good terms the theory.
You didnt learn anything useful Wizz? You just do it for money or woo-woo powers? Learn the no attachment to result, no lure for results, the middle, the game of hodge podge and you maybe will learn how magick and hypnosis work.
Start to see it in a Psychonautic agnostic way, start to see it in a way that you are playing with your nerveous system.

>It was weird, it makes me feel "phantom" sensations in my body, as if something was moving inside me. But there was never any change in my personality
You achieved a experience, keep doing or chill out. But the best questions is, if you want to change your personality is something natural to you or forced? Its just a thing of behaviours and routines, try some psychal exercise, somatic exercises and maybe some meditation things first.

I like to think sometimes that the science stretching in various directions have perhaps only just covered the surface and superficial explanations of reality.

I read something by Schopenhauer where he talks about two kinds of causality: one physical and one metaphysical. For example, say a man punches another man. You could desire the causality of that action as the action of one particle on another under the basic laws of physics. Momentum and energy conserved in a collision; everything acting under the four fundamental forces (strong nuclear, weak nuclear, electromagnetism and gravity) since the big bang. Maybe if Laplaces demon knew the position and momentum of every particle in space it could it predict the man punching the other man or me typing this out right now. The coordinates of particles in space.
But we can also explain the man punching another man in terms of hormones and muscles. And on a higher level in terms of psychology and motivation and will and sentience. Maybe the man had a bad childhood and lost his temper at this time of day ect…
Each of these explanations might describe/explain/predict the behaviour of a man but can they all be true at once?

Schopenhauer infers that as for a human, so is true for all things in the world. Schopenhauer infers that the fundamental drive behind action in the world is will.
Forces and energy and momentum and equations of motion are concepts and descriptions that yield predictions which can be measured. Do they actually explain why things happened? Maybe not.
So I think that perhaps beneath the causality that the scientific method has described there may be some deeper level we have not even scratched the surface off.
In that depth we might find strange and hidden sympathies beyond our current comprehension.
Some hidden magic. Somewhere, someone will discover a depth that our ancestors glimpsed.

Physics can absolutely explain things in a legitimate sense. Newtonian mechanics doesn't merely say that an object moved, it provides a dynamical structure from which its motion follows. Modern physics goes further still. It's not superficial at all.

The reason physics and chemistry don't answer the ultimate metaphysical questions of philosophers is that those questions are often nonsense. There's a crucial distinction between an unanswered question and a question that is malformed. The “glimpse” of our ancestors was a myriad of hits and misses that eventually brought us to the scientific method. Why would you want to go back to Paleolithic thinking? The universe is wondrous enough as it is without all that nonsense muddying our understanding of it.

>I wish magic worked. I recited Ipos enn for months to try to make me less shy and more charismatic and nothing happened.
Enns are from Demonolatry and is a made up practice by S. Conelly, in never tried something like that but from what i reading (based in golden dawn and crowley knowledge i learned) its sound like a mantra and sigil focus with some form of evocation into a invocation. Its not a medieval old practice and is a thing made up for Demonolatry.
In a way is similar to some Tantra practices that uses these draws and recite prays to evoke deities, i dont have experience at this practice i sorry.
>It was weird, it makes me feel "phantom" sensations in my body, as if something was moving inside me. But there was never any change in my personality :/
Sound like a effect of invocation, in a way sound like assuption of godform but its not the same.
You just did this of loop the enns in pray or mantra form and there's no ritual or etc? You have fear or respect for supposed entities summoned? You did it in focus in a healthy way without attachment? In good sleep or traspasing the sleep time?
In a lot of ways your mentality and control over operation affect result, i dont know much about demonolatry practice but i partially sure this is not from goetia or old grimoires.
>Also
Evocation is kinda easy, read the Arbatel (with or without christian morality) and follow the procedure and add if you want more correspondences like colors, signs, smells etc.

It is exactly so!

Air conditioner.

RMS stole it! Read up on it - it's true.

Aluminum cans, particularly the ones with the pull tab mechanism often seen in soft drinks and beer products. Pull tabs that stay on the can are actually a fairly recent invention.

Hair tie. My hair is long so I carry one of these with me everywhere, but it's for when the wind is blowing or I am running, otherwise it keeps in my pocket.

I didnt go out much so i dont know. I regret not visiting there. I wonder if it would be a good place to live since the climate is cooler on the mountains

>>68743
thought the same, its a lot easier to breathe up there

Love walking in the woods. Sometimes I go for an hour, sometimes less. Luckily I live rurally so I usually don't encounter a single other person on my trips. I have some busted up hiking boots that I need to replace once I have money, I'd like to get some minimal trail shoes. I had some Nikes a long time ago where you could feel the little stones and shape of the terrain as you walked, I want that again. I usually don't take pics unless I remember to bring my old digicam.

I have been walking 3 hours everyday since October since I'm currently a NEET it is the best way for me distract myself and when I get home I normally take a nice hot shower lay in bed and nap for 2 hours.

Honestly I have seen a good different on my physical performance and body but the best to come out of this is really just not being so angry at the world so often. I love walking

i like to walk to the library, feels good to use my body as the means of transportation and i kind of look down on the people using the stupid bus with. i don't ride the camerabus.

Sorry, I was taking a break from Wizchan for the past couple of months to focus on other priorities.

I used to enjoy penny hunting too. I would always run a magnet over the rolls first and then open any that were magnetic and take out the 1943 cents, then go through the rest. I mostly got mine through coin dealers instead of banks, so it was mostly wheat pennies with some Indian heads mixed in.

Washington has not changed as far as I can tell, but I believe that they are using a new die. Probably changed out the die for the "Crossing the Delaware" quarter. They should have stuck with Washington themed quarters, kind of like the Life of Lincoln pennies from 2009. Unfortunately, I do not see these sort of special series in common denominations returning aside from the succubi of color quarters, which, as far as I can tell, nobody really likes.

Personally, I would change the dime, though. I prefer Mercury to FDR (I have the gold Mercury dime from a while ago), so I would like to see a return to that, but if it had to be a president, then Theodore Roosevelt or Ulysses S. Grant would be my choices and would give some good opportunities for different reverses (early life, military careers, etc.).

I wish you the best of luck in finding a job. I won big on scratch-offs, so I am pretty okay, despite also not having a job at the moment. My last job I quit after 11 months because it was off the book and paid comically low. I usually do well with off the book jobs (usually $20-30k/year with no taxes), this job was $1200/year because the boss kept charging "expenses" (it would have been $30k, but the boss took 97% of it away and gave me a list of bullshit reasons). What you get when you work off the book, so I cannot be upset (though I did work over 4000 hours for the money, which works out to be a little under $0.30/hour).

I guess I could sell all my bullion and coins and be able to live for a few years on it, but I would rather wait a little bit longer before then.

Got a job across the country years ago and was interesting to see the different mint marks. never seen many S marks east of the rockies. ended up finding
>4 war nickles
>1 steel penny
>handful of silver dimes
>$2 in silver quarters
>3 40% half dollars
at the time, 2019, i figured the odds of finding silver quarters in rolls was at least 1:10,000. the steel penny was the coolest though. always heard of them but never seen one in the wild

>>58120
Krugerrands are very nice, they're cheaper than U.S or Canadian and they're very recognized, also they're an alloy so they're scratch resistant

silver is escaping orbit presently

Any coollectors, got some of these

Even magnetic tape is. You really can't fuck it up unless you put a neodymium magnet right on top of it. And if you are worried about heat you are more likely to boil water that bake the magnetic moment directions.

Invested in a lot of blurays and backups and storage only to realize I don't have anything worth caring about enough to ever bother backing up.
Honestly most stuff hoarded at random I'm probably better of losing.

What even are you guys saving?

Biggest single one for me is copies of my Playstation/2 ISOs - because Sony can't be trusted and the hardware will wear and fade.

I can buy 10 512gb flash drives for 23 euro, think I'll do that instead

>>70941
That is not a very good idea for archiving, flash media is very volatile and over time after a few years or even just months of not being used it can lose data.
It seems more convenient but isn't an option for archiving.

Your best bet are still M-discs but if you really hate them get a nas and use it in RAID 5, its much more expensive tho.

>>71032
Thanks, though I'm surprised how well this looked despite my then lack of proper knowledge (I realized the only thing I concidentially did right was "progress the action").
Your animation looks splendid, especially with the way you grabbed the horizon and turned it into a table, really creative ^^.

If you're interested like I was in going further here's animator Richard Williams' entire course (he directed stuff like The Theif and the Cobbler and all of the animation in Roger Rabbit)

I find it hypocritical how they glaze over specific serial killers, but never ones from brazil/mexico or blacks from the projects who are far more vicious than any of the standard american ones. They're all equally fucking hideous, yet foids seem to arbitrarily differentiate it. In modern day, there are far more serial killers across the world than in any era, yet they'll almost never be glazed the same way. The mexican chainsaw politician man for example, who was all over the news, esp. mexican news a decade ago, yet no foid glazes over him. The recent takedown of major cartel boss El Zambaya or something, who's committed some of the most vicious murders in cartel history with a massive bodycount that would make any 80s killer shudder, yet no foid glazes him. I mean, this dude murdered a young boy and his police father in the most brutal method imaginable, ripped his heart out and everything. There are african warlords who kill random people for sport and eat people on camera.

Yet foids consistently glaze over the most unremarkable, old ass killers from long ago. If they're gonna be mentally ill perverse retarded whores with loose leaky holes, then at least stay consistent. But meh, I suppose thats too much to ask from foids lmao

Maybe I'm just in an american echo chamber, maybe they get glazed outside my field of view. I'm just saying what I have seen.

I dont exactly understand foids very well so perhaps someone could explain this anomaly. Maybe my fellow wizard had a mother like this? I am unfortunately motherless :'(

>>71207
>el zambaya
retard, its' EL MAYO.(ZambaDa) Zambaba is his surname (real name) ,not his nickname\alias.
also Z42 and Z40 killed way more people, Z40, el Chayo, and el R1 from cjng were cannibals. el acido and el cherry of CDG, too, notorious cannibals.
ramon arellano COOKED a human heart and ate it.
