>350 eurobucks for a mere "it can use jars" perk. Sounds silly to me.

i understand your disbelief because 350€ is quite a lot of money but since this is an open source blender, you can just download the specifications and 3d-printing-files for free and build it yourself, or mostly yourself. they sell the blades-part (which is the most complicated part) for 40€, this one i woulud get because then you wouldn't need to metal bend and build gasket from silicone, etc. if you knew your way around motors and had spare parts and building materials collected, this is as little as it would reasonably cost you.

>I mean, if this 349 EUR device has the quality of a decent 200-250 EUR "business" blender for diners and cafeterias, then it's OK to pay some extra 100 EUR to save up hours and hours of workhours and rest hours per year.

it's even worse then that. i have a 30€ blender that rotates inside a glass vessel, i could have just continued to use it. it is slightly weaker but the additional power of the 1000w motor matters very little.

no the reason i got it is because it uses jars, this is totally worth it to me because the less cleanup and no more transfer is a tangible benefit. yeah i would have liked not to pay this much but it has simplified everything for me because i don't plan to eat cooked food much longer so this is all there is for me.

i also consider it supporting open hardware because as you might understand, proprietary consumer goods are turning into nothing but surveilance dystopia. wait for all the water kettle mysteriously stop being produced and the only ones available will be those with a little display in them so that they can show advertisement to you against your will because you are cattle to them.

Weak hippie soydrinkers will try to justify a $420 USD plastic box to grind their food into a paste by saying that most of the plastic is recycled and 3D printed and that the design specs for the device were uploaded online for free so it's progressive or whatever. They will say "No more cleaning" as a prime selling point because cleaning requires muscles that they don't have. They will turn decent vegetables in to slurries of spices and water because their tongues are unable to taste normal food after a lifetime of being burnt by niggerweed smoke.

Healthy men will just eat the food as is, or chop it with a knife because turning food in to paste is fucking stupid and has a history of making children's teeth and jaws undeveloped. If these men need a blender to make preworkout smoothies, they will get one from Goodwill for $14.88 and it won't ever break because it's not made by gay progressive weed hippies.

this is me and my vegan gang causing a ruckus in your neighborhood

currently enjoying a spiced nutbutter to dip vegetables in from the blender:


>bit of tahini
>bit of peanut butter (is a 100% peanut nothing else)
>raw cashews
>1 juiced orange with pulp
>small piece of ginger
>3 small cloves garlic
>1 small onion (a mild one)
>half a bouquet of dill (without the stems, only the furry parts)
>currypowder
>how curry powder
>fruity curry powder
>kurkumin powder
>pepper
>vegetable stock powder
>dark soy sauce
>almond oil small amount

i blend it into a thick paste and then dip cucumber and bell pepper pieces into it and that's my meal for the day.

>The truth is that my health isn't that bad, apart from having arthritis

i'm ~80% sure arthritis is optional because the body builders get it and their entire painful decline is optional vanity, meaning you probably could get rid of it if you wanted to go to the higher levels of human health.

i should go running more often, i think i have not done it in 2 years but what i do at least 2-3 times a week is skating and i love it and it keeps me healthy.

i believe physical expression (dance, skate, ice skating) gives something to the human organism that is a requirement for a happy life. i can't explain it better yet but when i don't do it for a while and then do it again, it is like i remember that life isn't a chore but actually enjoyable.

one more thing i do is i make sure to go grocery shopping on foot and carry it home without wheels. and then i carry it up into the 4th floor without using the elevator.

typical car user steps into the vehicle, drives to get food without walking, uses a cart inside the supermarket without carrying, drives the food home into the car without doing more then a few hundred steps at most.

one other similar habit i have discovered is that i often go places on foot and then just run where i am going. just as a mode of transporting myself. i'm like the only one who is doing it as far as i can tell. people go running but only for exercise, never for transportation. feels nice and adventurous.

i may have posted this once before, this i believe to be the best information on health i have ever stumbled upon.
6min25sec long track from an audiobook about an audiobook about the ancient dao or tao. if i remember this correct dao means 'the way'

i am currently being busy reading Carl Jung and one thing young Carl understood is that people sometimes get sick because that way they have an excuse not to participate in dumb torturous civilizational shit like school.

he called this a neurosis.

young Carl injured his head as a child and for a short while genuinely fainted. he realized this helped him get out of school he unconsciously got into the habit of fainting to get out of shit.

then later when this had already become a convenient habit when he heard his father talk about him being a bitch always fainting and being a retard never being able to earn a living he snapped out of it using his willpower. his body would start to faint but young Carl wasn't gonna have it and he just said nope and refused to faint. dude couldn't handle his father considering him a tard so woke up at 3am to study latin grammer until he got good at it.

amazing story because i encountered subconscious sabotage like that many times in life. imagine trying to be healthy when you have all these neurotic habits. imagine trying to eat healthy but then your body literally cringes you out of eating broccoli because you are addicted to grain-noodles.

reminds me of this meme of a fat middleaged succubi who tried brussel sprouts for the first time and she would dry-heave from smelling vegetables and started crying. i thought of this as psychosomatic behavior but i think neurosis is much clearer of a concept because it includes the knowledge of consciousness.

made a spectacular deal and bought a used e-ink ebook reader for 35€. it was made ~2011 and it is a joy to use! i've wanted one of those ever since the first kindle came out.

i use it to display .txt files, which works flawlessly. i can adjust the text size to my liking and i was even able to change the font to open-dyslexic, which i very much like. i have not even looked at the other fonts, there are probably other nice ones available.

there is this other file format that i don't hate called .epub and besides working similar to a .txt file it can also have pictures in it, which i was surprised to learn that the little device can display. when the epub file has a cover, the cover of what i am currently reading is displayed on the sleep screen; that was a pleasant surprise for me. it may be black and white but it is still plenty detailled!

the display is just pleasant to look at no matter the time of day. at night i can turn on the backlite with the press of one button next to the standby slider. i wish the minimum brightness was just the tiniest bitter lower but it is still ok.

what amazed me the most is using it in the sun. i had no idea how much i was craving a way to use technology in the sun. try using an old laptop in direct warm sunlight, or even just a phone with it's modern display. it sucks! not only will the sun help it to overheat, it requires also for the display to be turned bright all the way to see anything which makes it even hotter and uses more battery.

to sit in direct sunlight with an ebook reader, soaking up the rare few sunrays finding their way through the artificial aluminum-clouds is the answer i have been looking for … for over a decade. for the longest time i had no answer to the question of how i even like to read. it was always uncomfortable. how to read comfortable? with a cheap ebook reader using an e-ink display in the sun. solves 2 problems at once. the problem of how to get more sun and how to even read; i think that's cool.

in other news i've had my last unhealthy food a few days ago and now all i eat is good food no matter how strong the temptation; i've done this before but never with the intend of doing it permanently. after so many temporary experiments i thought it was time. now just a few days later i remembered that my poop no longer stinks and instead spreads the pleasant aroma of fresh vegetable soup. i laughed when i remembered.

dude just stfu, most of them chose to spread their legs out of fetishes instead of fighting back and escaping when given the chance. Go back to crystal cafe, do your victimhood grift somewhere else.

Also, you really pulled that 'rapport building' shit by mentioning men. You think we're gonna care more because of that? Go back to whatever e-brothel you came from

>>323164
You are not the audience of my comments. There's no illusions about rape/exploitation apologists, their views as well as other similar/related scum.
>Go back to whatever e-brothel you came from
Wizchan is not an e-brothel. Onlyfans is an e-brothel and it's unwizardly to support sex for pay just like it's unwizardly to have sex irl.

>>323176
>Twisting my words to make it seem like I'm attacking wizchan, to pervert virginity.
>All to try and make it seem like giving whores victimhood validation is somehow a wizard's fault, or a wizard's responsibility to care about.

Get the living fuck off this website you absolute roastie bitch. Suck your dead dad's necrotic dick and crawl inside his ballsack. You will never be a virgin. You will never be a man. You will always be a roastie and chad's third class rebound.

You tried the whole rapport building appeal to lure wizards into supporting your bullshit, now you pull this shit again with the last statement, one last perversion, to make it seem like I was attacking virginity when you were trying to coerce wizards into supporting blatant, willful whores. YOU WILL NEVER BE A VICTIM. WHORES WILL NEVER BE VICTIMS NO MATTER HOW CONVINCING THEY THINK THEY SOUND!

If I am not the audience, you wouldn't have twisted my words to attack wizardry. If I am not the audience, you wouldn't have responded to me. Fuck off back to pornhub, here's the link to make it easier since your dumb foid brain can't navigate the internet: https://www.pornhub.com/

You people argue as if you're either very young, or as if you both don't quite fully grasp the English language and actually have no idea as to the meaning behind the words you're using.

i could never be a communist because they demand you work, as a neet im what marx would call lumpenproletariat trash

after a long journey through fascism, communism, and many other isms, i have settled on the fact i value freedom over most things, and the only ideology that gels with that is anarchism

>>323185
if you were on an island with 10 people you liked and they would even like you back, you wouldn't want to work together and work a bit and get a bit out of it? and if you didn't, you wouldn't at least want to trade what little fruit you have gathered for something your buddies may have gathered?

>>323167
promoting communism is either a psyop or a lack of knowledge of history or economy. Otherwise people would post just socialist or keynesian ideas

>it is impossible not to expliot the worker, the worker must be owned by the stock market like he was a piece of property

your gatekeeping is nothing but spam, where are your arguments

>>323185
If the owner class didn't reap the fruits of the worker class labor, there would be more resources to distribute among the workers. Therefore the workers wouldn't need to work so much. Say 20 hours weekly instead of the standard 40. It wouldn't be so bad, and certainly beetter for everyone except the rich. But yeah, neeting is the best option. It's just not available to everyone.

*paid. I could do the same thing to vflat to have almost the same thing as with polarized photos to have a bigger resolution. I did that and the quality of lettering was worse than in vflat images before polarization. It wasn't sharp, it was "torn". Whether I did pdf creation and compression, I don't remember. But the results were bad. I thought about making 75% as default (later 50,3%) after opening, but it was very bad and very visible. On the side note, I installed something from Microsoft official site on my pirated Windows 7 and it didn't crash (unlike when I updated pirated Windows XP from SP2 to SP3). It was necessary to run ScanTailor which means previously I used an earlier version of it. Today, on this final decision day, after God knows how many years, Acrobat Reader updated itself successfully on my laptop. Hurrah! After all it's failures throughout the years.

Wow doomscrolling while doing tedious brainless repetitive makes it 100x better. They should allow assembly line workers to browse tiktok while working for ethical purpose.

I usually just let some livestream run in the background. It can sometimes be distracting, but there are lots of things I wouldn't have had the patience to finish if it wasn't for that.

So sheltered and stupid I walked into a seafood restaurant, saw the price for each fish listed per 100 grams, and thought they'll serve me exactly 100 grams. Had to pay five times more than I anticipated when my order came out.

>>322682
Nah on second thought that won't work if they start asking what are we selling that is good enough for a full time job. I guess I'll just do as >>322681 and just give them a death stare after saying I am unemployed.

This is more of a /dep/ post hence I apologize in advance for that: I have been a Hiki/N.E.E.T for nearly 15 years by now and it in the past few years it has been getting unbearable, the boredom and monotony are agonizing, does not help that i have nothing to do and I don't have any money for hobbies at all, I might be dumb but I don't believe wageslaving would be worse than this, I feel like I am getting crazier by each day, sometimes I start punching walls just from the sheer unbearable borodom that I am facing, it makes every atom of my body boil, I am envious of all comfy and happy N.E.E.Ts out there, I have all the free time anyone could dream of, but totally nothing to do with it, I hope you all have it much better than me, thank you for reading and sorry again if it comes off as a whinny or negative post.

OP, if you are stuck with Internet, try setting up a set of 90s/00s used not-so-electronics like radio/tape player

and do chores while blasting music, I dunno, an Internet radio will also do

digital is the way

Need to get off the computer but I've been connected for so long the sudden isolation of not having access makes me feel alone and vulnerable. A whole world I've always lived in is suddenly cut off from me. It's like I am doing life sentence in prison but the world outside the prison is the digital world while the prison building is real life.

I've been on my PC every waking moment I could do so for the past 24 years or so.
For me, a recent thing is trying to embrace phones and a tablet I got for further consumption and comfort.
Never was addicted to a phone since I was at a PC all day, why bother right?

I don't mind it too much, I'm on it to numb myself. I often just stare at the screen as of late, not even scrolling any manga, let alone doing the gargantuan effort of playing games.

The only issue I have is with digital hoarding. I know the internet as I knwo it is coming to an end so I should really start hoarding.
Having so much unsorted JUNK I saved over the years is causing me mad anxiety too.
I need order, but pic rel is unsortable… can't let it go either.

I got about 6TB of SSD space open for once I start scraping the 35k bookmarks I hoarded over the years as well.
Mostly manga, doujins, r34 pics, audio/voiceworks crap like that that isn't really worth it, but would give me peace of mind to have my own offline library. Wish I wasn't so retarded about it and knew what to do.
Was looking into lanraragi and hydrus but they aren't exactly plug and play and idk what would happen to those hoards if I had to move drives to another PC that might not be windows in the future.

TL:DR; digital hoarding gives me mad anxiety
I considered purging most if not all I have currently downloaded and questioning how much I should even hoard considering I might not even be able or desire to jerk off much now that I'm 30.

What would I even do with my time without it? I can't imagine it. I have a tiny 2x5m room. I tried hobbies like mini painting, carving, drawing etc. but failed at acting on them in the long run.
I'd just put the stuff in front of me and stare at it like it's a screen. Fucking hell…

How the hell do you survive as a NEET in that part of the globe? I am from the first world and without NEETbux it's very very difficult to make your family support you for longer than 1 years or 2, I have heard of some third world NEETs whom their families have been supporting them for long years, maybe they are really wealthy for their national standards.

I wageslaved for a year at a gas station for 280 U.S.D a month, it was a hell on earth.

What would be the point of a wiz country where wizards stopped being wizards?

It'd make more sense for there to be a normie base while the wizards served as the nobility, all serving under one grand wizard king. The normies would do all the work while the wiz class lived in luxury and practiced their magic so they could continue to suppress and control the normie base. Some children of the normies could join the wiz class if they passed the wizard trials, so the wiz class wouldn't diminish.

With longevity and automation technology, the normie base would perhaps not even be needed eventually and they could be exiled from the country.

>>323160
>wizards stopped being wizards

I didnt say that anywhere in my thread. I meant to say that wizards can choose to remain wizards freely without being insulted or denied social support, and if he ever changes his mind, like in the case he wants to save his race or become a father, he can breed with a maiden that actually loves him and be a good family to the children (instead of being plagued with adultery, divorces, betrayals, abuse, etc. like in normie society). That's all.

The normies absolutely do the work, but if this country became a place where even menial jobs like McDonalds worker made you more money than you'd know what to do with, I dont think normies would be necessary.

>With longevity and automation technology, the normie base would perhaps not even be needed eventually and they could be exiled from the country.

Exactly. Normies will be deported or killed if they refuse to leave, once they are done serving the wizard populations. They are not necessary.

I believe 4chan started off genuinely as a passion project, but due to the amount of power it had over internet culture (and how cowardly m00t is), it was inevitable power hungry jews would want to influence it.

If it's any consolation, they only got to 4chan in it's eternal September phase. Which was also coincidentally around the same time most of the internet went from amateur websites, fandoms, websites, forums etc to the same 5-7 websites that the internet consists of now.
