Does anyone here struggle with alcohol, or have managed to quit?

It used to be a good coping mechanism for me, but it seems the older I've gotten the worse it feels, and it's become detrimental to my health and the way I behave around people. Easily annoyed, constantly starting shit, tired all the time, strange pains. And I was still getting worse, fast.

This has been a wake-up call and I'm realizing I need to quit before it's too late. Though that's easy for me to say now when I'm still feeling bad, and I fear the cravings will come back strong, but I know I've got to try.

Curious to hear others experience with this.

Try a sparkling rose wine. It's almost fizzy like a soda, and often has fruity tastes. Also Ciders are a great option to explore more flavors whilst maintaining beer level alcohol. Sadly the multi pack ones are shit, it's the single bottles that are like 5 dollars that taste nice

I'm an anxious wreck so when something bad happens I almost immediately start hitting the sauce to chill out.

My best and worst moments in life have been due to drinking.

If I did not drink at all my life would have been boring and safe, which is probably better honestly. You only need to do something retarded once and your life is ruined.

Its hard being bad at everything, even the things you do for yourself
Whatever I touch usually ends up ruined
Its very hard on me because I allready expect to fail at whatever I try nowadays
Maybe bad luck is real, but whatever I lay my hands on usually ends up more damaged then fixed
Id like to say electronics are a hobby, but i have destroyed more then I repaired
I have no talents no ability to put any Idea I have in my mind into reality
It doesnt matter if I prepare, if I practice
My fingers dont do what I want them to
Something unexpected happens
I couldnt even fix a carburator on my bike
And I couldnt get the replacement to work either
There are very few times I have tried something and got positive results
I have been fired from every job i have ever gotten quickly
I have been learning japanese for 3 years now and I have seen other people become fluid but despite the time I poured in I still suck
Its very hard to explain to other people, they will say "you have to try more or try something different"
But I am trying and failing
Its not that im just seeing the negatives, when I actually succeed at something it makes me very happy but its a rare feeling for me
I try things, even follow tutorials and it never turns out well for me
I have ruined many things I love by trying to fix an issue and breaking them irrepairably
I just want a bit of sucess in what I do

Wizards, I'm really uncertain about my situation right now and would like your advice, since this is a matter that I think only you would be able to fully appreciate.

I was a NEET and borderline hikki for about 8 years during my mid-20s. I was very content during that time, because the NEET lifestyle actually suits me very much: I'm extremely introverted and don't crave many material possessions. Because of that, I never sought the social stimulation or the monetary compensation of work.

However, my situation changed and I had to find a job, as my prior source of minimal income disappeared.

I was very fortunate to find a remote job that pays decently, even though I only have a HS degree. I've been in that job for over 5 years now. Due to my aforementioned frugal lifestyle, I was able to save enough money that I think will last me over a decade.

With this in mind, my question is this. My greatest wish right now is to resign from this job and return to being a NEET. It's a question that bothers me every day. However, I fear that this job is sort of a unique opportunity, and that I won't be able to find anything similar, once I run out of money. I even considered doing things like day trading so I can extend the duration of my savings.

What would you do in a scenario like this? Keep your somewhat comfy WFH job or just return to NEEtdom?

Police don't give a damn nowadays, they won't investigate anything nowadays unless you get murderered or are a member of a special minority group. I don't want to derrail with politics but yesterday some autistic 17yo frenchie got beaten to death after reporting to the police that they had assaulted him a few weeks prior, reporting with footage included that the police just ignored. what I'm trying to say is you can no longer rely on police for protection. I'm a hikikomori so I don't go out but if I had to I have some tools ready, something like a phillips screwdriver will give you plausible deniability if carrying weapons is not legal in your country (aka every country except USA). Of course only for intimidation and last defense, you should never start anything unless there's a serious threat.

I think that today, autistic and witchy people have a huge advantage over neurotypical people. We have extensive knowledge on a wide variety of subjects, we are determined in the face of adversity, and even if we are socially awkward or find it difficult to talk to people (this is my case, I am socially isolated) we can come together in these spaces and stop forcing social contact with neighbors or parents who ask us for the umpteenth time why we still don't have any friends or a girlfriend. Personally, I'd rather go online to investigate the Epstein case than have friends, and I think that's the case for many of you here. The others are completely ridiculous with their social codes to follow. They restrict themselves in terms of intellectual capacity in a completely stupid way to appear socially acceptable because the norm prefers a dumb athlete to a brilliant intellectual. That's why most people prefer athletes like soccer players or basketball players to Gregori Perelman, who solved Poincaré's conjecture. This whole circus is completely ridiculous. People make fun of their neighbors when they themselves are stupid, but to reassure themselves, they say that others are stupid and criticize us because we are not “within the norm.” We do not accept the social contract imposed by popular dogma, which wants us to we criticize to reassure ourselves without accumulating knowledge. Also, do people really compare their time spent on TikTok or Instagram to the knowledge in books, articles, and other sources before criticizing others? Maybe we should look in the mirror and accept that we are trash in order to change and follow a virtuous path that respects others. That's why we're here discussing this: we need to create a close-knit community and distance ourselves from the idiots who criticize us, keeping only those who understand us.And besides, it's not AI that's going to save these idiots. They need to rediscover what it means to read books, to dream, and to use their brains.

Listened to your rant…

No one is "normal" as long as the list of things required to be "normal" is long enough. Some people are a tad disproportional here, there, etc. Some folks get bald early, with "wolf's ears" visible in middle school. Some dudes have hair so bushy they get ridiculously curly eyelashes. For every "autist" out there there is a air-headed person who "has overall difficulty focusing" because said person straight up lacks attention span. Cheers and take it easy.

>Autism
Sorry my engrish
Functional autist people got support and good healthy behaviour bacause they got good socialization as young.
If you never got a good support or healthy behaviour or good socialization later your gonna go full into isolation and little by little these isolation gonna make you total retard anyway bacause social isolation make that into your brain.
I at university and at times the feeling of out of place and loniless hurt a lot.
I the autist in a poor family with no treatment in a third world country obbseded with shity freudian psychoanalysis and not science.
Yep, at times i feel like a retard in university and my attention spam maybe is not so focused in my discipline or routines.
The neurodivergent thing at this point its an insult to me.
And yes, i secretly want the feeling of human contact or the feeling of "be" like a human being with friends or a stupid girlfriend or something but i know that very little probable to happen bacause i feel like a outcast i my race and the unique way to them to treat me in a more possible way "human" or maybe normal or normie is just dont giving much info or personal info, larp or acting like normal and mimitizing in a damn stupid hardcore way the damn stupid behaviour they have just to "pass" a little. But in reality i fucking tired of this shit at times i just want to escape from this world, still the idea of love or friends or even a "job" or good utility for humanity or animals is beatiful idea and avway to live to me but… what the purpose if gonna suffer a lot and they never gonna treat me like a damn human being?
I not suicidal or deppresive, i just tired.
That's why sometimes and back in time i enjoyed a lot scapism like mmo, IRC chats, chans, reading thing, book hobbies, art and craft, listening music, etc. But i got tired of computers and artificial lights, bacause the more i go full in these worlds, the more i feel less human and more like a damn robot.
I dont want to die alone, i dont to die without love or the feeling of humanity, sometimes i feel total dehumanized and other times i just cry in plain sight but hidden in these "social acting" structure, bacause i want thing that maybe i never gonna get in this life.
The more simple i got in my approach of life, the more happy i got.

Thank you. I'm high functioning and it's torture. Sure I'm immune to propaganda and normalfag BS as you said but otherwise I'm retarded. I like to learn about niche topics but it takes me longer to grasp concepts than an NPC. I'm functional enough to have a 'regular' albeit solitary life but too retarded to ever properly connect with anyone and I'm aware of why it is. Lower function autists either get to be blissfully unaware or are given passes for their behavior. I'd love a pass to clasp my hands over my ears and bodh slam someone next to me for being too loud but can't. Autism for me is pure agony every fucking day, a mental prison.

I am not even that horny, a lot of the days I force my self to do it while not even being in the mood for it, it's just the most effective way for me to cope, masturbation is free, gives you instant pleasure and can burn for you many hours at the time, there are times when i find my self touching myself just so I can use it as a way to distract my self for my anxieties and negative thought loops, as soon as i start touching myself all my anxiety and negative emotions start to dissolve as much as i hate and it hate how much i overdo it, i can't deny it makes getting through my days easier when i can just touch my self for many hours instead of just sitting there being miserable feeling hollow bored to tears and empty or anxious and overthinking at worse, my point here is that I believe the addiction for me is a mere sympotom, something I use to escape my negative feelings and the emptiness of my daily life, thanks for reading my blogpost

Hello anon!

>About the game, I quit about 5 months ago and it was a mistake. I miss it more than I hated it.
Ah, sorry to hear that. I'm sure you had good reasons to quit after so long.
Have you ever ran your own game, or thought of doing so?

>Happy to know you started your own game. How is it going?
I have stopped running it, mostly due to the reasons I mentioned. My motivation dried up, and at some point it started to feel like a chore.
It lasted long enough, and the players were certainly enjoying it, if I'm going by their near perfect attendance, engagement during play, and long sessions often ending later than reasonable on week nights. It was also the best campaign I ever ran, having perfected my methods from previous ones, and that was good. But I lost the spark eventually, and sooner than I expected too.

>Even if things don't go smoothly here or there, who gives a fuck, right? At least that's how I see it as a player.
That's my issue as a GM, I'm too autistic about running the system rules-as-written. It makes for a rewarding and meaningful experience for the players, and while I'm good at running it this way, it's a lot of work. I could certainly gain from being more flexible, but even as a player, when things are too loose or when I sense the GM is cutting corners, I tend to lose interest because it stops feeling like a game with strict rules I can win or lose at.

Anyway, like yourself, I have been reading stuff again, old gaming magazines from the 80s. The spark is never completely dead.

There wasn't a good reason, it's just that I tend to focus on the negative side of anything I'm doing. I quit because I thought I was going to dedicate myself to reading more books, but of course, in the end, I barely read shit anyways and now I'm outta game. I'll probably find a new group on Roll20.

How long did it take you to call it quits with your campaign? I hope you had fun with it. Maybe it's best to have shortish games that end after some months so people can recharge, instead of turning it into a fucking religion the way me and the guys were doing. The first couple of weeks after I left I truly felt like I had escaped from a cult. And now I want back into the fold. I'm almost inclined to give a hollow laugh.

I prefer strict rules myself, but I'm not dead set on them. I do very strongly prefer no fudging to save the characters, no matter what. You can only have true consequences from your decisions if the world is not conspiring in favor of the PCs.

>How long did it take you to call it quits with your campaign?
It ran for about 6 months, and when I really got tired of it I gave myself another session to see if my motivation would return (as it often did), but it didn't. And the funny thing is that the campaign was at a point where it could expand to the overworld and such, with lots of opportunities for development, but after each session, I was getting less and less enjoyment from the whole thing.

Now I'm thinking of doing some solo adventure, playing as one of those yeti monsters (>>70680) and dwelling in a dungeon, looking for human encounters to devour their brains and gain their powers.

>>70685
That's a respectable run. You can get a lot done in six months. Most online games don't last four sessions, let alone several months.

Man I tried solo games but I just can't do it. The wealth of bizarre shit that happens when five nerds get together to play these games just can't be matched by solo play. At least not for me. In many ways solo is the best way to play it because you don't depend on others. I really like that part. It's basically a video game. Pick up and put it down whenever you want. If only I could get into it.

Anyway, I already caved and found another group. We'll be playing through a module this time, about 20 sessions, so about the size of your campaign. Not enough time for me to start hating on rpgs which is good. I can't wait to delve into musty corridors and throw some dice. We start next week. I'll report back.

On the poo topic, I saw a plastic cone setup that composts at very high temperatures in the sun to kill the pathogens and whatnot - could be a good starter on breaking it down. Bonus is all table scraps can go in for composting too. But really though, babies and old folk use diapers so one could probably pitch a plan to just toss human waste in the trash.

Since the last decade, there have been sporadic threads here on wizchan and elsewhere around the net regarding dead Internet theory. I read these and brushed them off. I was continuing to have a palatable experience through the early 2020s. I used zero social media, so the bot problem, I felt, barely touched me directly. Not my problem; like a fat boomer grilling while a tornado shreds his neighbors backyard. Somehow, I continued to get something out of the net.

In the past three years or so, the bot problem has been compounded by the AI-generated content problem. The images do not bother me, nor do the videos. The music is just irritating. However, the text is a cancer.

Chatgpt and other LLMs have certain tics that puncture through any prompt intended to rectify these stylistic habits. These are well-known and well-mocked: the overuse of the en-dash, the justification of any hackneyed analysis by the "that's not X, that's Y", certain ways of blocking out text, the list goes on. The point is, after a while one sees these patterns, one hears these patterns when a hack on youtube recites a video essay.

It makes a piece of media immediately uninteresting to me. The content is liable to be depthless and generic, soul suckedout and sort of this same-old crap feel. Content generated by LLMs is all over now and spreading because people are human and lazy and also because bots. It's not hard for a midwit to leverage AI to become a video essayist catering to a bunch of people dumber than him. The result of this compounding is that increasingly it's like the bulk of the Internet's content comes from one hallucinating corporate mind laundered through the mouths (or copy-pastes) of a billion meatpuppets. The Internet is turning into a choir singing with the voice of a singular constructed mind.

There are these useless machine-generated webpages polluting search results with complete waste of time procedural websites. And the search engines themselves put an AI-generated answer before any of the traditional spidered results (the first several of which are predatory sponsored results). And of course, we now have armies of bots armed with LLMs as essentially psyop weapons driving siloed communities to utter detachment from reality, with a wider effect of making many of the actual humans still using the net psychologically rabid abusive cunts.

None of these observations are new. All of this is documented before. There are a thoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

wizards, this is a truly important question. how do you tell your mom, or anyone else for that matter, that you are really not interested in whatever female they think you should "befriend"?

i know you're going to troll me, but i still kindly ask you to find a second and think about what could be the *optimal* solution. the solution that doesn't burn bridges, doesn't create bitter enemies and yet lets you maintain the high ground. i know this is not fully achievable, but there gotta be an algorithm or something.

my brain just crashes in such situations. it's like "idk wtf are you're even talking about???" i need help

My mom's oddly perceptive and realized my disinterest earlier than I did, though she assumed I was gay. I respect her enough to be truthful. She initially was sad about no grandkids and worried I'd been molested at some point but she's accepted I'm naturally a mental mutant in different ways than her. The older she gets the more she's glad she has a 24/7 quasimodo butler who enjoys 80% of the media she does.
So, if you decide to be truthful, try reframing it along those lines. Emphasize you telling her the truth is you wanting to be honest out of respect for all she's done as a mother. Female relatives are more accepting of family freaks if they think you respect them as equals.

>but not to dismiss them, so as to not hurt their feelings
i am no longer sure i care about their feelings what i care about is constructing the most optimal response, the perfect social mask that will allow me to handle normies in the most efficient way possible, so that i get them to fuck off my way with the minimal possible effort
>you simply do not share the same reality in these matters
true enough. it still angers that me i am the one who has to model *their* reality and try to find an optimal response, while they just freely keep harassing me with their petty proposals.
>They do that because they care about you and are concerned
they do that because they are programmed to do so. if they cared about me i wouldn't end up a hobgoblin.
>>228859
that's great i should say.
>Female relatives are more accepting of family freaks if they think you respect them as equals
my experience differs unfortunately. i'm sure the ones i know would trade pity for me being nice to them, but i don't think they would be accepting in any way. i mean they would only grant me the most basic courtesies.

You can't change a person's perspective on anything, specially if you're in a position of disadvantage from the start. That's the case for every son x parents dynamics. You can say you have no sexual urges whatsoever. I don't know. Perhaps you could stall the annoyance by pretending to be hormonally broken. Or get a diagnosis. That tends to make them jaded.

I'm schizophrenic and hear voices and have minor hallucinations (for the past year). These voices lately have started straight up turning into a metahallucination saying things like:
'we are schizo voices'
'i am a hallucination'
'i was birthed from your mind'

I've come to terms that this is my life, but she won't accept that I'm no longer that smart quiet kid who had potential to become a doctor or lawyer.
I clearly have the symptoms of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder#Signs_and_symptoms except the bad ones.
>Psychotic symptoms such as delusions or hallucinations may occur in both manic and depressive episodes; their content and nature are consistent with the person's mood.[4] Approximately 60–75% of people with bipolar I disorder have experienced psychosis.
I'm part of the lucky 25% I guess, but I'm not normal. I tried to adjust so I can function in society, but I'm still a fuck up, and I'm not alone, many people have mental health problems for whatever reason.

You will probably have to get a formal diagnosis for that. I suffered with this for a long time.

I never take the meds, of course.

Opioids could save many lives. Their only problem is how addictive they are, and the only solution to this is to make them available without a prescription. All the problems you see stemming from opioids and opiates are due to this very reason.

I'm curious what the covid-19 vaccination rate is like among wizards.

Personally, I was the only one in my immediate and extended family to not get the vaccine or boosters. No doubt influenced by the normie propaganda, I faced a lot of harassement and pressure from my mother.

Knowing my family, I would also probably have been uninvited from family gathering for not having the vaccine but since I stopped seeing them 2 decades ago, it was a moot point.

Starting a new anti-suicide general as the original has been bump-locked.

Helping wizards to understand that persuasive feelings of suicide can be bested.

Further the discursive spirit of this thread will remain the same as the first: to counter the general luring tenor of sadness that defines all the other threads through sharing positive practical advice purposed to reducing suicidal behavior even when we feel most suicidal. Naturally, being that I started the topic, I will be the first to contribute.

(1) Know that I care about you guys deeply and sincerely. Call me a faggot, I don't care (many have already done this, to no worthwhile avail)
(2) Examine what you are eating. For example, gluten especially produces depressive/psychotic episodes in sensitive autistic individuals. Sugar also is not healthy for your brain. Delimiting ingestion of both is wise.
(3) Make sure you are getting sufficient sleep. Chronic sleeplessness or even a few days' worth of irregular sleep can seriously interfere with the clarity of our thinking.
(4) Clean up. Taking a warm shower and putting on fresh clean clothes always is refreshing and helps to break up darkened mental habits.
(5) Breathe fresh air. Open whichever windows punctuate your room and allow some wind to come in.
(6) Watch your breathing. When we are panicked, our breathing can become very disordered and we do not recognize the effect this has on our thinking. Take deep, purposeful breaths, and collect your thoughts.
(7) Respect yourself. You have done your best to survive in an awful world, and you should grant yourself forgiveness for any mistakes and the allowance to rest with a composed and balanced mind.

I've done my part. Anyone else?

What is everyones thoughts on leaving a suicide note? Is it necessary for closure for others? A way to get everything off your chest before you ack? Or just a waste of time?

I have been staring at my .60 cent retirement plan, and am not sure if I would just like to go out and just have everyone guessing. Or if its right to leave a note. Most of my family thinks I am useless or lazy. However they have no introspection on that they are the ones who raised me.

Phimosis is normal for babies, is incredibly rare for it to persist in to adolescence, and is easily curable in one single doctors visit - often by non-destructive means. There is zero fucking reason for partially skinning babies alive to be so common. It is ritualistic pedophilic sexual torture by the admission of the very subhumans who invented it.
