Friendly reminder that the ONLY actual evidence for resurrection of Jesus is that the bible said so. There is no evidence from his time of that happening outside of the bible. And if Jesus didn't resurrect, then it's all just a scam and placebo effect.

>To me jesus was a human that supersticious humans divinized and make a too magical history to turn his life more epic
Ironic. To me the biggest reason why I can't be Christian despite wanting to be religious all my life is the opposite.
It's not fantastical enough for me.
Jesus and all bible stories read like down to earth tribal history mixed with some slight fantasy.
At best it's some tall tale told by a village elder in a way to pass on some wisdom to the masses, at worst it's just some story about a handful of villagers/tribesmen doing mundane crap slightly exaggerated.


Too many real things in it that can be mapped onto things we experience in real life so you know by instinct what parts might or might not be bullshit.
Too many historical claims or truth/fact claims that can be proven false or at least attacked.
To me something like tao/daoism depicted in Chinese fantasy novels is a more believable/acceptable religion because they are so far removed from our own realm and reality.

I really don't understand why or how it spread so far and wide and how people can willingly subject themselves. Perhaps surface level aesthetics and a lack of curiosity to dwell deeper. Idk.
Most Christians don't know much aside from what was fed to them by curators of their denomination it seems. Not that I blame them, to most normies it's just another thing to do with the group like painting eggs for the easter bunny.
It's still crazy to me that so many people venerate those that aren't even remotely their kin.
My country was converted to get a dude crowned 1000 years ago and now it's a great part of "our" identity somehow. Crazy stuff.

To be fair I'd buy into it based on aesthetics alone if it was more fantastical/philosophical without the history part so I can't really blame anyone else.

>>323113
It sounds like your religion might just be escapism.

>To me something like tao/daoism depicted in Chinese fantasy novels is a more believable/acceptable religion because they are so far removed from our own realm and reality.
And what incredible fantasy things did the Taoist/Daoist in these histories?
>Also
Thelema can be a fantasy fuel if you start to do more and more advanced rituals lol

I'm schizophrenic and hear voices yelling gibberish about "God" all day, at a certain point I had to admit I couldn't form any coherent conception about God anymore and had to throw everything I thought I believed about Christianity in the trash so to speak.
I've read the Bible and all that remains is cold information, like what book has what subject and what the main story and message is.
Don't really know where to go from here.

What can you wizzies tell me about bread? Is it bad for you? What about pasta made with brown rice flour? Tell me your opinion of flour.

>>323953
Don't take the breadpill. I used to be a wheatmaxxed flourchad until I found out what it does to your body (YOUR body, not mine because I'm indestructible). It makes you tired, it makes you sleepy, and it even makes you want to doze off. Don't believe me? Every single time you've eaten bread in your life, you felt the need to sleep within 18 hours afterwards. Baguettes online will try to tell you that the crust is the healthiest part of sandwich but that's moot considering the entire slice is made from a plant that literally grows out of dirt fertilized with animal shit. If humans were meant to eat bread we would have windmills for hands. Bread dries up in the sun, so just imagine what it does inside of you. It needs yeast in order to even become palatable and we all know where yeast comes from. It needs to be cooked in a toaster at 200 degrees before it's safe to spread peanut butter on. Ducks, literal bottom feeders, go nuts for bread. People who are drugged up are referred to as "baked" because eating bread has the same effect.

I'm gonna create an EOTW thread for this but holy shit, this video was recommended by the algorithm with the title "Parasites are eating your hobbies alive". Created in 2026.

I don't know if the creator is a millennial or older, or if he's a zoomer who's just realised something we've know since AT LEAST 2014 if not earlier but Goddamn, this is realising you've got cancer after it's reached a terminal stage.

I haven't even watched the video.

>breadpill. I used to be a wheatmaxxed flourchad
can you stop using normgroid words

>>323954
I stopped eating bread and pasta a year ago and some times I've tried coming back to have more food variety but I can't do it amymore because they're not real food and taste like nothing, you only notice when you've stopped eating that slop for some time. Spaghetti used to be my favorite food and last time I ate them some months ago I realized what I really liked was the carbonara sauce with the cheese and bacon, that's where the real food was.

I'll admit I still eat some junk food but at least that's tasty.

>>323943
Lol, thanks for an actual good response.

Well I guess in a sense the original meme was about learning as shown on these /lit/ charts. Knowledge and the pills go always hand in hand, but I wouldn't say it was self improvement in a manosphere grifter way, that sounds more like the distilled normalfag version.

>>323935
Can you start talking to people as soon as you download discord?
Redpill is mostly a conservative movement about how men are supposed to be tough and all that and how that would get you a succubus or awaked some sort of really stoic Roman Legionary inside you. It's mostly a hoax and a scam. You can only self-improve to a degree tbh, and that degree is greatly exaggerated within those circles, you still have the ceiling of you financial conditions, your genetic conditions, and your environmental conditions, etc. This industry is also heavily commercialised and no longer the bro-advice that it used to be. In a way it is as dumb as the bluepill personality BS.

>>323947
Oh, I see, I was almost there. But no, I hate Discord people. They're annoying 13-year-old boys. I would go back and tell them this. Sadly, I don't have the patience to teach them about stupid stuff like this. But thanks for the response.

>>323946
Thanks for the chart, lol.

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.

>>323175
Have you tried to make up imaginary characters in your head and let them debate over something? It takes a lot of effort to sustain those mind animations, it's really satisfying.

>>322679
I wonder what kind of people calls NEET/hiki 'parasite'? are they jealous of NEET and hiki or it's something else?

>>323175
>it has been getting unbearable, the boredom and monotony are agonizing
funny that you say this because wagecucking for a couple years has the same result.
shitty work becomes monotone, unbearable and agonizing and you are counting the seconds until you can go home. by the time you are indeed back home you notice you are too tired to do anything that requires effort so you doomscrool jewtube and play videogames for an hour and then its off to bed so you can wake up and spend another day counting down the minutes and seconds until you can go home.
yeah and money? forget about money, as a lowly wagecuck you are just as poor as a neet.

>a race to the bottom type dynamic where the state of the whole gets much worse due to the increasing burden on the natural world, conflict between tribes and so on, yet nobody feels like they can afford to not use these new technologies, otherwise they will get destroyed by those that do.

yeah this is why we can't have nice things, maybe this would change once people realize that every form of technology is automatically a weapon but this would require responsibility and responsibility is the thing people built weapons for in order to avoid it.

race to the bottom sounds like an awesome name for a band or a podcast.

it is quite difficult to carve out a little space to survive while the race is happening indeed. when keeping in mind what you just succeeded in expressing, everything that is worth capturing will eventually be part of the corrupting efforts of competing groups which is why human progress can only happen in the realm of maximum insignificance. as soon as you get popular, some group tries to turn you into fodder for the cannon. the difficulty of the age in which people refuse to understand that competition is the problem (and not the solution) is to remain underneath the threshold of detection as to avoid otherwise inevitable corruption.

>And dynamic applies in all aspects of life and the ratchet-effect-worsening of things year after year.

it is quite challenging trying to keep up with the rate at which things are enshittifying through self-sufficiency but what else is there.

>The issue is that those people who want such power and are good at acquiring it are usually the kinds of psycho- and sociopaths who should least have it, yet they are the ones driving the larger changes in the system due to the mechanism above.

thas rite tell em!

>Like you I try to do small acts of intentionally limiting myself, consciously going against this constant propaganda to consume more, be more comfortable, not think about any of these issues and so on.

what is more surprising there isn't any relevant information on what each foodstuff does to the body compiled already
no current research either
all you can find in medical papers is nutrient x correlates with condition y
last significant discovery in nutritional science was the discovery of the vitamins in the early 20th century
even worse the info out there is full of misinformation with people trying to shill a product

>>323903
>what is more surprising there isn't any relevant information on what each foodstuff does to the body compiled already

you have reached the point at which you can see the inferiority of a system that is based on money and violence in which a a few disproportionately influence what the many get to hear based on the whims of psychopaths and their secret world of 5d chess.

the solution to this is look for the information yourself. in this case i believe it means: you have to know how each type of food is digesting in your human body.

in the beginning you might not be able to know all the details like ph-values about everything but you are equipped with everything to solve this puzzle. you can tell how long something travels through you, how it makes you feel, if you feel tired, hopeless and depressed or strong, optimistic and full of life. meanwhile advertisement and convenience try to seduce you.

>last significant discovery in nutritional science was the discovery of the vitamins in the early 20th century

don't limit yourself to science if you are so far as to understand that science is but the expression of the inferior system. science found the lymphatic system in the brain only a few years ago while others knew this for a long time. recently they (the science bitches) found the brain converts glucose to fructose.

>>323912
>you have reached the point at which you can see the inferiority of a system that is based on money and violence in which a a few disproportionately influence what the many get to hear based on the whims of psychopaths and their secret world of 5d chess.
Yes
>the solution to this is look for the information yourself.
There's not much you can do except toying with different kinds of foods and diets and see how you feel. If a certain routine causes cancer in the long term but makes you feel good in the short term there's no way to know this.
>you are equipped with everything to solve this puzzle.
best case you find some routine which works for you, nothing really compensates for this lack of information and presence of misinformation
>science is but the expression of the inferior system.
The modern way of doing science was invented in Western Europe a couple of centuries ago in a society very different and unlike our current system. Science itself is not tied to the system and people's outside of the system also engage in investigation, speculation and collection of knowledge.

HOLY CRAP U TURKISH OR SOMETHIN?:3

I'm a first world neet but my unemployment benefits will stop soon and then it's time to rope.
I don't know where this believe among third worlders comes from, you can get unlimited neetbux in first world. This only exists in a couple of specific welfare countries like certain Scandinavian nations.

>>323929
Yeah New Zealand is in the process of pushing people off NEETbux now. We were in the Scandinavian box before but it seems we're being shifted to where Spain and Italy are.

There's genuinely a developing NEET crisis in the west, it's something like 20% of 18-24 year olds literally doing nothing now lol. Not even going to school/uni, just no work. The local government extrapolated the increase since Covid and seen that by the 2030s it'd completely collapse the system. What's more worrying for the government is that once a NEET, always a NEET seems to be the thing. It's a sticky habit.

>>323930
>NEET crisis
This is just a new label to mistify jobs don't pay enough in the west. They made the system unattractive for the average person and are now implying it is anything else but people opting out.
I don't believe it's part of some plan either, just pushing away any responsibility or even consideration of the system failing.

>>323931
>I don't believe it's part of some plan either, just pushing away any responsibility or even consideration of the system failing.
Most of the people calling the shots are hoping they can kick the can down the road long enough that they'll be dead before they suffer any consequences. Those that aren't that old are wealthy enough to flee to another country, and for the super wealthy have some sort of 'ride out the apocalypse' bunker hidden somewhere.

>>323932
I doubt they will suffer any consequences, or that we will get a sudden collapse or climax to this decline.
The slow rotting, disengagement of the masses with the system, population decline and so on will continue indefinitely.
It took a very long time after the fall of the Roman Empire before something on the same level of civilisation appeared again.
People can and will go back to a more miserable way of living, especially normies.

>>323906
>Sid Meier game
Well… it all seems a bit spammy. My apologies. I'll tend to Civilization VII in silence.
Incidentally, in the very end, I had China also annex the following:
1. Bhutan and Sikkim rather than leaving them to join the new independent North East Indian ASEAN state ( of which Nagaland is its capital ).
Bhutan was made a special autonomous zone whereby its monarchy was allowed to continue to exist, effectively truly making Bhutan a country within a country within a country ( deliberately made this way to make it cooler (Bhutan -> in Xizang -> in China). South Tibet's part o Tibet. What was a part of Tibet goes back to being a part of Tibet ( Xizang )
2. North most Kachin from Myanmar
3. Barahoti
4. Jadh Ganga Valley
5. Tashigang-Shipki La (Khab and Namgia)
6. Kaurik (Sumdo)
…etc. All the disputed stuff and then some.

I then amplified my interests in transforming Sakhalin to Taiwan 2.0 and with its connection to Outer Heilongjiang fashioned a means by which I could mobilize quaternary goods back and forth at a more efficient and effective pace.

Every facet of Hinduism and everything Hindu affiliated and all the cannibalism and all the idol trash was purged from the liberated lands and replaced with whatever China deemed fit.

Once I had China fully done with the 'Indian Question', it prioritized the silk road(s).
From there, Neo Khazaria (Province in Rome), Rome proper (Russia), The Emerald Lands and its brother state prospered to such an extent that it became quite abnormal. Afghanistan becomes the primary tourist spot. It's a thoroughly secular place now, but Islam's still around. That's pretty much what the whole place is like. Lots of the world population gets concentrated in these zones. Cousin marriage and incest is punished by death. The rest of the chunk is primarily in the Sinosphere world ( where effectualization is still being facilitated. Part of selling Siberia to China involved some deal with the silk road or some such )
Somehow or other, North Africa ends up green in this process.

nhentai's lolicon tag is a really interesting case study which kind of rhymes with your point, and you kinda put the finger on a dormant idea I've had lingering for years now.

You have doujins with loli's getting raped, getting tentacle-raped, or being a tentacle monster in a human disguise, raping other humans WITH tentacles and on the other hand you have loli BEING the rapists, stepping on the MC's balls, sucking out his life essence or whatever. The most edgy, gory shit you can imagine.

But there is such an absurd lack wholesome mutual romance loli doujins out there, relative to the amount of the shock gore content above. A loli that loves her male love interest and a male love interest that loves her back, with tender handholding sex. The way I've understood it is that crabs and porn degenerates can get off on the shock factor of the doujins of the former type, and because it's so incredibly fetish-y and porn-y, there's less guilt because "I'm just a clown in a circus!"

But truly wholesome vanilla level is a step too far for any crab. The earnest reader that yearns for wholesome vanilla mutual romance between an adult man and loli is considered the most vile, putrid abomination of a human, because they have no veil of porn sickness they hide behind, they just appreciate the pristine beauty of the loli and have truly integrated 3DPD into their personal value structure. Society hates the pornsick gooner quite a bit. But they hate the enlightened 3DPD lolicon a thousand times more, and would like nothing more than to have him killed.

Loose-ish fitting, comfortable pants, usually cargo or similar. Grey tees that I bought in bulk a few years ago. Whatever flannel shirts or zip hoodies I found second hand. So fairly unremarkable, I mainly just want to be comfortable while also not wearing sweats outside.

Linen, canvas, denim… anything with a higher (100% if possible) cotton content. I'm particularly a fan of chore coats and am on the lookout for a European or Japanese denim example ($200-$300).
