/wiz/ - Wizardry

It’s easy to assume that more money, more stuff, and more status will make us happier. That’s what we’re sold every day—on social media, in ads, in the way we talk about success But is it actually true?

I’ve seen videos of small villages in Africa where people live with almost nothing—no Wi-Fi, no fancy houses, no designer anything. And yet they laugh. They sing. They dance in the streets. They seem genuinely joyful. Not because they have everything, but maybe because they don’t Then I look around at places like California, where people live in luxury condos, drive $200k cars, and eat at places that cost more than some families make in a week. And still, depression and anxiety are everywhere. Even some of the richest, most famous people in the world—people we think have it all—end up feeling so empty that they take their own lives So what’s going on? Why do people with "nothing" seem happy, and people with "everything" feel lost?
Maybe happiness isn’t about what you have Maybe it’s about how connected you are—to other people, to yourself, to the moment you’re in Maybe we’ve just been chasing the wrong things Just something I’ve been thinking about. Curious what you think, too.

What, my friend, made you a wizard? Was it ugliness, mental issues, being ethnic or a combination?
The first day of being born I knew it was over

So, I'm a 31 years old NEET loser, never had a succubus in my life, last job I got was 5 years ago, it feels a complete utterly loser, people at my age have a nice salary, a succubus, house and whatever, in some sense my life if ok, but sometimes the feeling of being a loser is very strong, the sense I'm in the wrong, it makes me feel pretty bad. How can I achieve peace with my lot on life? I just want a sense of peace and instead of sadness and regret, does this feeling goes way?

I have hated humans and human interaction. i have found humans repulsive and they can be very very hurtful and mean. what are about the best way to cut everyone out of my life and live somewhere remote surrounded by nature while having enough money to pay the government not raiding and murdering you.. can it even be done???? if so how do i do it and in what order…???

>Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you
>You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish

Is killing doctors who perform abortions morally justified?
Most people would say it's morally justified to shoot and kill someone else if they're about to stab a toddler in the back.
So if it's morally justified for a random person to shoot and kill someone else to prevent them from stabbing a toddler in the back why would it be immoral to kill an abortionist?
If you don't kill the abortionist they will kill a baby
>It's not an imminent threat
What is immenent? Sounds arbitrary. If an abortionist is driving to their workplace where they abort babies is that immenent? If an abortionist is in an abortion clinic in a room alone with a pregnant patient and is about to perform an abortion is that immenent? Is killing an abortionist who is a couple minutes or less away from performing an abortion on a healthy baby and consenting mother not morally justified?
>Abortions shouldn't be killed because it'll have externalities like making pro lifers look crazy which will cause more babies to die

Where's the evidence of this? Someone else could just say that the fact that anti abortion/pro life violence is so incredibly extremely rare is good evidence pro lifers don't consider abortion to be murder and pro life ideology should not be taken seriously. If abortionists were murdered more often more people might be more willing to take seriously the idea that abortion is truly murder.

Also this is utilitarian thinking which most pro lifers (especially religious ones) don't normally use in other circumstances but now choose to cherry pick when they'll use it? What about choosing to die rather than kiss a Quran? What about choosing to die instead of denouncing Jesus? What about spending ten thousand dollars on a vacation to the Caribbean instead of donating ten thousand dollars to against malaria foundation to save the life of at least one child under 5?
Pro lifers choose to be utilitarians all the sudden?

Another problem with this utilitarian line of thinking is I find it hard to believe both utilitarianism is true and God is real at the same time. If God is real and utilitarianism is true then why is there so much sufPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Being skinnyfat is /wiz/ manifest on your body. It's through no fault of your own that it happens: you didn't overeat, nor were you particularly lazy. Rather, being socially and mentally deficient forced you inside, where you moved less and less vigorously than the average normalfaggot child would.

The normalfaggot child, through no skill, hard work, or determination of their own, built a genetically normal amount of muscle over a long period of time just by being outside and moving with their other normalfaggot friends. They ate more than you, they enjoyed the fruits of life more than you, and they worked so much less harder than you— and they were rewarded for it with physical desirability.

The normalfaggot, then grown up, grows arrogant, and thinks themselves special, even though they put no effort into the good things that life and their sociability gave them. With this attitude set, they spit venom at the lazy, ugly, disgusting skinnyfat people.

Fuck this condition.

20, 10 and even 5 years ago being called a virgin was seen as an insult by normies. Same could be said about being called "a crab", yet more and more often we see people who have regular sex, gfs and social lives say "they are basically crabs". Is it for attention? Is it some misguided idea that crabism is a mindset? Is it to make yourself feel "superior" to other normies? Same thing have happened with nerds: what used to be a simple demographic, later became a label to proudly asign to yourself (Oh, I'm such a nerd, I just love watching mainstream movies like Star Wars!).

Is there a way to stop it, or just every term loses it's meaning after 5 or 10 years these days?

Should I take the Catholic pill?

They seem to genuinely respect Wizards and have a tradition of hermits. Their priests are a celibate ruling class.

I didn't grow up around Christians but it seems like the difference between them and other Christians is that they're the original church together with the lesser known Orthodox Church.

I don't get all the rules they have though. You shall attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor. You shall confess your sins at least once a year. You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season. You shall observe the days of fasting and abstinence established by the Church. You shall help to provide for the needs of the Church, each according to his or her own ability.

I'm overwhelmed. I get why people just go with the DIY protestant approach but it seems like if the Catholics are one of the original churches Jesus said was legit then it's a safer bet.

Look I don't get how there can be a miracle like resurrection either and frankly all the Abrahamic religious miracles seem really underwhelming compared to the wild stories of Hindu gods. But so many people believe in Christianity from a Pascal's wager perspective it seems like I might as well consider it.

At least it'll make me feel like I'm less LARPing some fantasy wizard and instead I'll seem like a faithful religious hermit which gets more respect points

A few days ago I read about CBT thinking errors and have seen how I make them often when I'm considering the problems in my life.
I honestly think my psychological and emotional issues run too deep inside me to recover completely and have regular life, but I think much about the suffering of my situation comes from errors in my thinking.
This means that maybe we can work on our thoughts and move to a mental place that is not permeated by sadness and misery. Maybe even have some moments of happiness.
Doing this is hard work of introspection. It requires listening to your thoughts and be "open minded" enough to open to the possibility that maybe you made a mistake.
If you want to try, you can start by picking one thought and contrast it with thinking errors. Keep in mind, that it is likely that you will disagree with it being an error or not. When this happens, explain to yourself why and contrast that to the errors again. Repeat this forever basically.
I think it can be helpful to be open to the fact that not making mistakes is legitimately impossible; so, while it is true that our life have been subject to shitty conditions, there is the fact that we are worsening it with these mistakes and that finding some relief is possible for us.
I hope we can be well.

whenever i meet a new stranger online, i will ask them, "what sort of websites do you go to? do you have online friends?" and 9 out of 10 times, they won't respond at all. i think they do nothing, too.
i hate everybody so bad, i hate everything mainstream, i hate all the dietary and lifting weights and political garbage on every image board, i hate reddit, i hate trannies, i hate every single thing children like, and i hate every single piece of children's entertainment produced for the past 10 years, i hate anime and japan now because their jokes are unfunny and look like steven universe with cgi now, i hate succubi in japanese video games, i hate every single thing on every streaming service, i played all of the good video games i have 1% of interest in, i hate rap and 99% of people listen to rap even old people, i watched every movie, i read every comic book and i read every novel i want to read as of this year and whenever i try a new one i am disappointed, i don't even want to talk about entertainment media anyway i go to /tv/ and i have nothing to say about movies i watched.

i don't really know what i want to talk about even. Whatever it is, it's not being discussed on the Internet. so, i have no frame of reference.
when i talk to people online now, even people i like, i'm very stressed out because i have nothing to say. I sit in a chair and get angry that the Internet sucks.

reddit failed normalfaggots killed gothic king cobra because they were angry he sat in a chair. It made me want to kill myself. It made me want to post on the Internet even less. i deleted what few accounts online i have and privated my Steam profile yesterday after thinking about how reddit murdered king cobra, because I am "retiring" from this place and have given up any hope for an online friendship.
i hate everybody so badly.
i don't know what sorts of replies to expect.
i will just ask you, too. What do you do on the computer? do you post diet and fitness advice all day here? thats why i hate even this place now, it's all the same every image board.

im meeting with a psychiatrist tomorrow because i hate everything so bad i want to kill myself and i am thinking of suicide every single second i'm not distracting myself, but i don't want to die, i want to stay alive. i have my reasons.
