if you can find places to park for the night, it is a nice way to slowly travel through a region and escape from the monotony of living the same day over and over

my guess is that this is how the pros do it, i still feel like a beginner despite having the van for 5 years. i might try spain/portugal in the winter

It's actually the opposite. Cold weather is no problem. Biggest problem is keeping your water jugs from freezing which you can do easily with some heating pads. Snow is also a problem for the car but they do a good job with roads most places. It's so comfy to sleep in cold weather in a tent or in your car. You can perfectly control your temperature. I use a heated blanket but you can do the same with just normal blankets, it just takes longer to warm up. In summer the heat will murder you in a lot of places.

Just a tip for those considering doing this in the US. It has become increasingly illegal in the past few years to "camp" in a vehicle, AKA sleep in your vehicle. Lots of cities have banned it at a local level. I think it's some sort of organized thing going on as part of project 2025. They had a big section on that in rounding up the homeless and putting them into some sort of work camps.

The solution to this is to have completely impenetrable window coverings. If a pig comes knocking. Do not answer. They cannot open your car without a warrant which they cannot get on the spot and likely won't get at all, but nonetheless, if they come knocking, move. If the cop is unable to physically observe you sleeping in the car, you can't be arrested for it. And yes, arrest. The penalties in some places are actually felonies now with over a year of jail time. It depends on the locality.

Also, never park on private property unless you have explicit permission from the business owner. The days of just sleeping in random walmart parking lots are over. If you are on private property then the cops have the right to tow and impound your car. Public land is still fine as long as you move districts every 2 weeks. The enforcement on this has actually been impacted by all the cuts they made to the US forest service and other branches that do that sort of stuff. You can usually get away with staying longer lots of places but I enjoy moving around so I've never felt the need.

thas rite! when i exercise i have to do it early in the day because when i do it in the afternoon or evening, i am pulsating with energy like a lightningbolt and i can't sleep. when i do it early, the whole day gets more inspired and i use my energy better and 9/10 times i sleep good.

how does not having energy feel like? i'm not weak of will like you itt so i only eat the healthiest food i can find and then once every few months i go to a restaurant where i eat the least of the evil they have to offer.

yes i say it for fun to be arrogant and troll you but also because i genuinely do not remember the feeling. i ate too little a few weeks ago while taxing my body way harder then usual so i just couldn't move and felt weak but took me but a few days of sitting in the sun and eating more calory dense food for me to recover to my old strength. of course i did not go to the doctor because, i just did what i thought is best, which i also include in my arrogance against you because clearly whoever drinks energy drinks DOESN'T.

Is it true taht energy drinks damage kidneys?
is it true causes heart attacks?
will it make me die?

>Is it true taht energy drinks damage kidneys?

what damages your kidneys most is believing you can eat anything that tastes and smells pleasant to you that you don't drop dead 5 minutes later from, no matter if it is made from chemical isolates in a factory. energy drinks are just a subset of that.

tomorrow morning when you have your first pee after sleep, pee in a glass (i use old peanut butter glasses for this but does't matter what container, doesn't even have to be glass, you just want to be able to see through it), wait a few minutes and then check if there are particles floating in it. if there aren't then your kidneys did not function that night. if you repeat this and never see particles then your kidneys are damaged.

Tried Ghost Energy recently and honestly I think I've found my new favourite. The energy blend is kind of similar to Gorilla Mind in being a sort of nootropic stack and includes choline and BDNF supplements. The stuff sold in Canada is a bit toned down, but Alpha GPC was approved for the Canadian market recently (I think?) so maybe it will be added here too.

It's really sweet with no sugar, and also has no artificial colours.

It's just endless punching right bullshit and purity spralling from shitty people, It really is true that the quality of a chan is dictated by the lowest common denominator. Nowadays it's just crap.

maybe. We'll see

infinite composition is impossible, no matter how far down you go, at the end there must be a structure that cannot be broken apart, cannot be divided, that is one within itself.
you can call it a monolith, the absolute, the fabric of the unlverse, or the most fundamental law. the name changes but the necessity does not.
evverything that is composite rests on something more basic than itself. this chain cannot go on forever. in the end there must be monolith/foundation/structure/rule.

we keep searching for this monolith outside, further down. we go beneath the atom, we look into quantum fields, we chase more fvndamental particles, more fundamental structures. as if that monolith were hidden somewhere in a depth we have not yet reached. yet the only real oneness we have ever directly and immediately touched is the nonduality of experience, consciousness.

consciousness can appear fragmented, it can feel scattered, it can even seem divided in certain states. but there is still a oneness that lives that fragmentation, that scatteredness. without that oneness, there would be no such thing as a "part". so the apparent division does not cancel the underlying oneness. on the contrary, it presupposes it.

the point that goes unnoticed is this. we are not separate beings who have stepped outside the monolith and are examining it from a distance.
we are inside the monolith. we are the monolith itself. consciousness is the monolith, and we are that consciousness.while we chase the indivisible structure out there, we fail to see that we are already inside it, that we are identical with it.
trying to break the physical world down into more fundamental parts is a pursuit of oneness/foundation. but oneness is not something that will be found at the end of the process of division. unity / foundation / oneness is what must already be there for any kind of division to be possible in the first place. and the place where we know that unity most directly is our own experience.

the indivisible structure we keep searching for out there is already present in the very nature of our own experience. we just don’t realize it.

even if we were completely separate, individual consciousnesses with no connection to any higher single consciousness, that would change nothing.
each one of them would still be a monolith in itself.

for a brain in the physical world to produce consciousness, it would have to be a genuine Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

This reminds me of Universal line by John paolucci

Does philosophy have an answer to existential numbness?

I give zero fucks to meaningthingness.
To most other things too.

Is there a thought school on "why should I care"? Probably none of the modern ones.

And yet the state of existential numbness certainly is not to be considered desirable for, well, at least "aesthetic" reasons. It just doesn't look good to be a no one.

However, well, the world actually gives zero fucks about aesthetics (the way I understand it, and the way Exupery understood it in Citadelle).

tl;dr: the thread itself is meaningless for me and you can do nothing with it.

watch my main man brian do a 45 minute talk on achieving your dreams. i discovered this self-help stuff when i was ~19 years old and i listened to a lot of it. i wholeheartedly believe this stuff works and these days it is a nice refuge from all the demoralizing content the internet is full of.

when i read wizards being unhealthy or depressed, that's offensive to me. please stop hurting me so bad.

as a wizzard you have all the advantage in the world. you have no malevolent evil female in your life insisting on turning you into a circus animal for her personal gain. you know how many trapped loser husbands would love to be able to do whatever they want? all of them. you owe it to those loser token husbands to make the best out of yourself and i am here, hoping my cheer will reach you.

seriously man fuck these husbands, with their ridiculous shaven babyface. they do this because their wives make them shave their beard and ON PURPOSE they females make the husbands dress like bitches. if you are living your freedom and a husband sees you, the husband will feel like a fraud. and he is.

none of you would be depressed if you found the way inside yourself to make you feel good. there is a inbuilt happiness button and i can tell you have not found it, which sucks. happiness is not something that depends on conditions to be perfect. it is like a muscle that you simply never discovered. once you do, it is like a button and the only thing standing in the way of you experiencing it is you forgetting to press the botton, which happens to the best.

i wouldn't know how to encounter this knowledge in a culture that prides itself in producing depresses people whose beliefs are up for auction. when you are a normie midwit sciencebeliever, you will not end up finding out that you can be complete in yourself, nobody benefits from you becoming spiritually self-sustaining. benefit however is the requirement for theater to be enacted and repeated which is the prerequisit for a normal person to believe something. normies believe whatever is repeated most often and most loudly. if you were secure in yourself instead of seeking the safety of the group, the loudness would no longer trick you into acting in your worst self-interest.

what i am saying is as a human you get to be happy unless you led the noise intimidate and trick you into not knowing how. i say find out how to be complete in yourself and then all the superficiality and unhappiness melts away.

Good one

After listening to the soundtrack of Napoleon Dynamite I googled "16 years old Cyndi Lauper " then "Cyndi Lauper 1970" and among the many pics there was a picture of her book, that's a memoir and autobiography, that features in the cover a photo of her when she was a teenager and so I thought "how the fuck would these artists who've done so many drugs and lived through so many things on a daily basis even remember stuff? I can't remember that well my teenage years or early 20s and Im only 30 or maybe I barely dwell on the past and I'd remember stuff if I tried to"
Like many of these musicians have been drug addicts through long periods how do their brains can remember so much about their past enough to write a 200 pages autobiography when they're already old which means their brains have already deteriorated through the natural process of aging but even moreso if they've been addicts.
Maybe it's bullshit and memory isn't really that much affected.

>Bro even in the middle ages scholars emphasized memory because books were so expensive. They had mnemonic "mind temples" they utilized in their imagination to better retain legal information.

Maybe they should have been working to amend the bodies of their civilizations with sounder systems of religion and government and economics that the memorizing of the details of the old systems would no longer be necessary? Wouldn’t this have been a wiser course than setting into memory the antiquated commands of old legal codes that from within a better society would have no place? I forgot where I found this latin sentence, but it is from a medieval author, and its sense is relevant:

Quorsum requireretur legum prudentia, cum abessent mali mores, ex quibus haud dubie bonae leges prognatae sunt? Whereto would be required the prudence of the laws, when evil habits would be absent, from out of which not doubtfully good laws are derivative?

And even (((Thomas More))) in his proto-communist Utopia makes his hero Hythlodaeus (a greek pun meaning: distributor of nonsense) speak the following regarding the Utopian islanders:

leges habent perquam paucas. sufficiunt enim sic institutis paucissimae. quin hoc in primis apud alios improbant populos, quod legum interpretumque uolumina, non infinita sufficiunt. ipsi uero censent iniquissimum; ullos homines his obligari legibus; quae aut numerosiores sint, quam ut perlegi queant; aut obscuriores quam ut a quouis possint intelligi. They have very few laws. For thus do very few fit their purposes. That this firstly near other peoples do they disapprobate, that not even infinite volumes of laws and interpreters suffice. They themselves however account most wrong, any men to be bound by these laws, which either may be more numerous than so that they may be able to be read; or more obscure than so that from whomever they may be able to be understood.

These were nearly medieval writers and in them we find disesteem for the structure of the old traditional legality then surviving in their own time. I wonder what they would have thought at hearing of scholars being “chained to their desks” copying to mind sentence after sentence of older legal decision? And here in conceptual sympathy with them I can ask: what is the purpose in rote memorizing almost infiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I had figured my coworkers just don't follow orders. Two of them got promoted and their internal comms were a train wreck, even with spellcheck. One has resorted to AI and it's just paragraphs of obvious grok cut and paste now.

People feel slower or perhaps dumber to me now after the imposition of the kikes' covid hoax. Even I'm feeling slowed. The degree of psychological assault the pharma kikes laid into humanity over these last 5-6 years was inhuman.

>>324783
that event was dominated by people's collective reaction to introduce a not-working medicine for a non-existent pandemic
I guess you could say the government promoted this dysfunctional non-behavior which produces nothing valuable
tyrannical doesn't really describe it, more like soulless and inactive

>tyrannical doesn't really describe it, more like soulless and inactive

Of course. Coercing innocent goyim over the course of 5 years into injecting themselves with unknown and unproved chemicals is only "soulless and inactive", not tyrannical.

>the tyrants of ancient history at least send their people's to war

Have absolutely nothing on the distributed jews that have now achieved world-government and who psychotically enforce the illusion of separate nation-states while playing the populations of these nations against one another in pointless conflict.

kikes aren’t stupid enough to attempt another false flag. no matter how bloody a new false flag would be, it won’t hold sufficient persuasive weight to condition the goyim to die for shlomo.

these injections seem to produce random effects and even cause death in some cases and were introduced to a novel small-scale disease
this is like what if society completely locked down and everyone took experimental antivirals in the 90s because a handful of homosexuals, IV drug users and blood donor recipients showed signs of a new disease (AIDS)
this feels more like mass stupidity and total system failure rather than tyranny
