Failing at everything you do Anonymage 02/19/26 (Thu) 22:50:53 No.305955 [Reply]

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

Sounds like you may have "butter fingers" issue. You could practice some finger exercises to give your hands some neural boost.

On a side note. Today I learned some modern study say heavy exercises not only give you gains, but also make brains and nerves grow and make more connections.

It's not about outside perception. At the end of the day, you have to take a good, long hard look at yourself in the mirror, and you can't lie about yourself. You can't force yourself to like what isn't likable. A lot of those intelligent, creative people while having those qualities just aren't good enough - they don't cut the mustard. Could society be set up to be more forgiving? Sure, but that doesn't change the fundamental reality.

you have unfinished goals that your subconscious keeps on trying to solve, that gives you that restless feeling of wanting to do something. try to make them explicit in your awareness and either fully give up on them, get some kind of closure that allows your mind to stop obsessing over them, or actually do stuff that's relevant to those goals (but often there isn't anything you haven't already tried, which is why you've dissociated from them in the first place).

Life is inevitable, consciousness precedes material reality and it will always come and go. Those with fortunate genetics will inevitably create those with less fortunate genetics in the grand scheme, due to entropy. In the end, resentment against life, parents and such is no different than the resentment of blacks against whites, succubi against men, etc. a better way to look at it is to be thankful there are better examples of humanity that exist at all. Lest the world be entirely comprised of the stupid, the weak, the unhealthy, etc.

None of those things prevent you from taking care of yourself. You being emotionally immature and having occasional localized muscle spazms doesn't prevent you from washing yourself, preparing food for yourself or your mother, or doing pretty much every other basic household task. Have some self respect. If I was a dad who had a son who considered himself too "bipolar" to take care of himself, I'd probably try to spend as much time at work as I could too. Why don't you get disability for yourself? Assuming you live in a California or someplace that considers emotional instability to be a disability, you're an adult so you can just get the paperwork and tests together yourself without your father's help.

Made my second comment on Viber chat of one TV channel and the host read it aloud. Thought he'd say name and first letter of a surname like sometimes, though now I remember that it wasn't always a case. I used my father's second phone so his name was used. I knew that phone number, e-mail, full name and city won't be mentioned. YouTube creators responding and liking my comments, one literally mentally ill person posting blogs using a few phrases I added to Wikipedia (I think I even undid his edits), now this. Though the mentally ill man doesn't mention my nickname or surname, just the phrase in his hyoergraphia diarrhea of the same shit all over again.

The TV host botched some lines, though he recovered and agreed that compulsory exams in Maths constitutes a form of violence (it's not the only idea of my post, he read everything). I saw it twice on live stream on YouTube too and it's not a local channel. I hid that chat (my posts without talking to anyone, just replies on topic) by a password
For now, I won't remove it from the list of chats. New achievement unlocked. Not that life's worth living, but a nice bonus.

Cabin fever - real or fake thoughts? Anonymage 05/25/26 (Mon) 00:54:22 No.307980 [Reply]

Might just be one of the myriad of things from health issues to shit life syndrome, but I've been thinking maybe my small living space is affecting me.

Still live "at home" in a flat with my mom at 30, my room is 2.5m x 5m so 12.5 square meters. (134.549 ft²american)
With all the furniture I have a usable space of about 0.8m x 3m maybe, so less than 3sqm. (25.833 ft²)
Spend all day sitting at my desk anyways so whatever.

Been wondering if maybe this tiny space is part of the reason why I just don't do anything.
Do any of you have experience with living in a small space for a decade+?

Sounds like over pathologization of a something that is just common sense. Restlessness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, etc. are all just bullshit symptoms that could apply to anyone in any situation.
Yes, if you're couped up a tiny room for a prolonged period of time it gets boring and annoying and you want to go outside and have a change of scenery.
Nobody would say that you have "doctor's office-fever" which includes symptoms such as "irritability and restlessness".

My life is Dungeons And Dragons; I decided years ago to start playing DAD 24/7, only never stopping.

Red plus pink plus blue is root chakra for brains. They consumed by sexuality for consciousness.
Or red plus blue, alone.
And black and transparent both mean they -1.

Hello again anon! It's been a year, how are things going in your game? Still playing with that GM and that other guy?

>I spend most of the week despising it
>Then it's gaming night and all is forgiven. I have a great time, I get to talk with other human beings I don't actively despise
>Then it's the next day and nausea returns
I have started my campaign again and as the GM, I've been having the opposite reaction. I enjoy preparing the game during the week, stocking the dungeons and moving the gears of the world, but on game night I can feel my tank emptying in real-time, and by the end, I tend to be slightly dissatisfied. The players are engaged and definitely seem to enjoy the whole thing, and I think I've found a pretty good risk/reward balance that makes the game meaningful. So I don't know what else I'd want really, yet I usually get more fun preparing the game than actually running it. After the game, I spend the rest of the evening being negative and mulling over minor things that could have gone more smoothly, not feeling the raw satisfaction you'd expect, or being excited about what the players did in the game.
But then, on the following days, I get motivated again and enjoy devising new things for the players.

Hey there. It's been a while since I checked this thread. Apologies. About the game, I quit about 5 months ago and it was a mistake. I miss it more than I hated it. Now I'm reading the books wishing I was playing. I'm beyond fucking pathetic, what else can I say. I don't feel like going back to my old group, I fear they think less of me for quitting. Now I'm thinking about finding another group, I don't know.

Happy to know you started your own game. How is it going? I'm sure your players are enjoying it. Players that are at all worth their salt always appreciate their DM. You're basically doing hard work for their enjoyment. 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.

I don't think AI will be around for long, and not for the reason people think.

AI is very old technology, the LLMs utilized are from the 1950s. When computers were first invented they tried using artificial neurons that learnt (the Perceptron). The problem was back then memory and scaling, you could get one node to learn but by the time it went to the next it started to forget. The hardware wasn't there. Because of this AI bots relied on binary tree if/else statements and weren't programmed to learn for decades.

All that happened in the 2010s was that hardware became available to stack LLMs on top of each other. The technology behind AI is veeeeery old, it's a hardware problem. If you're some nerd that reads into tech innovations you'll find the same is true for most inventions. Wood pulp paper wasn't suddenly eureka invented in the 19th century, it's that the steam engine made the processing of wood through mulching possible. The automatic threshing machine wasn't eureka invented, it's that there were dozens of invisible small innovations that fed into it that went unthanked, like the complex mathematic epicycloid calculations that went into the gear functions that some mathematics nerds and clockmakers perfected decades ago.

Anyways, the actual supply chains that are currently feeding the current top of the line GPUs and chips are unsustainable. They're spread across so many countries and it's like a precarious inverted pyramid, each part of the chip fabrication is a monopoly because it's stretching human ingenuity and ability to its absolute limit. And for every part of the input (the lenses, the robotic arms, the chemical acids, the light diodes for the lasers, etc) there's like another 5,000+ companies making bespoke tools for specialists. It's quite literally not cost effective or arguably even possible to scale production further. Like the Concorde and other supersonic jets, the rising costs are not due to economic constraints, but human. The concorde went out of service, and likewise AI will too.

The AI bubble will burst once they try to recuperate costs, once they find out that businesses don't want to pay $100,000 for the slop, they'll get a government bail out. The government will bail it out thinking they're getting a palatinr tier surveillance engine. This will turn out to be a white elephant because the AI data centers built will require replacing every 3 years due to the GPUs burning out, costing hundreds Post too long.

The latest nodes of semiconductor manufacturing have escaped monopolisation despite certain attempts to limit production.
This tech isn't going anywhere.
There's also lots of experimental tech beyond EUV.
Worst case nothing beyond EUV becomes cheap enough to mass produce and the eternal spec sheet escalation grinds to a halt.
AI is software and suffers from scamming/bad marketing. Still you can't deny it's at least slowly advancing even if it isn't the revolution it's marketed as.

sesame paste aka tahin aka tahini Anonymage 12/27/25 (Sat) 16:43:17 No.322610 [Reply]

happy new year and all of that.

treat yourself to some sesame paste if you never head any. i regret learning about this so late, i can't help but want to warn others on not missing out on this goodness. it is just one ingredient crushed industrially into paste: sesame seeds.

when you buy it in the store it is separated and the separation is strong. when you stick a spoon in and try to stir, the bottom is so strong that the spoon can not stir. and you have to shake it and keep it in a shook state.

the sesame paste hides behind a bit of effort but the reward is worth the extra work.

the taste is amazing. mild and nutty. the nice thing about this is that it has a high fat content but it is not as impossible to digest as oil is. it still has it's fiber.

i use this to make sauces without oil. i just put tomatos and herbs into a blender and then i add a few tablespoons of this stuff and it turns into a nice creamy sauce but a sauce that the human organism has the chance to actually digest reasonably.

this stuff is so good, i wonder why it is not sold in regular supermarkets, i bother to go to the muslim markets just to get this goodness.

>There's not much you can do except toying with different kinds of foods and diets and see how you feel.

not much? to me that is a lot. when you eat everything at once you never know, if you only eat the same you know after a few days.

>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.

there is no reason to be completely dismissive of foreign information, until you find a way to know for sure whether something is good for you or not which usually is something easily attainable.

>best case you find some routine which works for you, nothing really compensates for this lack of information and presence of misinformation

yeah you slowly go towards the stuff that works and away from what harms and you get your routines. time management ability and self-respect ability to break and create habits is important in this.

>Science itself is not tied to the system and people's outside of the system also engage in investigation, speculation and collection of knowledge.

i guess the term science is too imprecise then. there should be one term to describe the artform of individuals gathering knowledge to solve problems or improve situations and the craft of wearing a labcoat and getting rich producing papers to "prove" how softdrinks aren't the problem.

i recently learned that tahini is hard to find when i look in regular muslim supermarkets, i must have been lucky that my local turkish store not only sells it but sells it in such amazing quality.

a few days ago i bought the first tahini i could find from a local hygene store (after trying ~7 muslim non-turkish food stores) that also sells some more expensive health conscious food and it tasted horrible. really bad i am not making this up. i didn't know quality can be this bad.

80% Blind Luck
I grew up in a trailer park, my dream of success was to live in a city and work in a big office with a shirt and tie.

I did that, it was fine, got boring and expensive, so I live in a small village now instead. Very seriously i'm starting to think it would be more cost effective from an ROI perspective to move to a trailer park.

Some dreams were installed in you through advertising; conditioning even. Others are - I think - subconscious signals for things you would like to try/experience one time.

My dreams - outside of work - were to eat enough food, read good fiction books and nap whenever I wanted; because living in a precarious environment where wild work shifts and home instability prevented any of that from happening made them so much more appealing.

All this to say, bad luck getting difficult dreams and bad luck getting dealt a hand that can't achieve them; some people get luckier.

Because you can do everything right and still lose, and do everything wrong and win because someone else lost and you were in the right place at the right time.

life is full of get rich quick schemes that are basically scams. The biggest of all of them is the american dream. Look how many years you have to work on minimum wage to equal the worth of Elon Musk (oddly religious fags don't even think the universe is this old). In short, you gotta be rich to get rich.

Once you can acquire enough wealth to save (which is impossible since rent and food are structured that you can have no savings), you can try reading this book or blog.

https://thesimplepathtowealth.com/

The essential thesis is: Put all your money into a Vanguard Index Mutual Fund and don't freak out when the stock market crashes. This rest on the assumption that our wealthy will never let the US economy collapse. But right now it's the only place your money can ear a 10% interest rate. Since inflation is 4% practically putting your money anywhere else is burning it. The fucking 1% wealthy are getting so bad they're putting money into legos, jacking up the price on anything they can since they are scared of the impending economic apocalypse.

I don't know if you're still here OP, but I'll put my two cents in: We both know that there's no chance that they'd understand your real stance on the matter, even if you did have the time to explain it. Therefore the only goal is to make them stop but not to dismiss them, so as to not hurt their feelings.

What you can say is this: "I appreciate you looking out for me; I'd like to navigate this myself, if you don't mind." or the adequate normal-speak equivalent thereof.

>>228030 is going to call this outrageous because we know by experience that following through with their "help" would only make things worse.

However the key word is "we;" normies like the people that try to get you to "befriend females" can't imagine things going wrong because that's not their experience - you simply do not share the same reality in these matters. They aren't privy to the things >>228030 described.

What I assume >>228023 meant, is that it's the intent that you should be thankful for. They do that because they care about you and are concerned. Keep that in mind, when phrasing your response. It'll go a long way.

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.

>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.

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

Yeah i do It mostly out of boredom, but because I literally cannot find a better activity. I tried many hobbies during the course of my life and honestly they're all boring and feel like a chore. I would rather just sit and do nothing or sleep than having a hobby, but porn gives some ecstasy and dopamine. I also play videogames occasionally but not as much as I used to when I was a teen.

Alcoholism Anonymage 08/11/25 (Mon) 14:25:02 No.302164 [Reply][Last 50 Posts]

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.

Bad Platforms, with bad concepts, administered by bad people.
Social Media CREATED these people, with intent.
We as a society didn't look through their scheme and have let it happen.

Good platforms with good intent draw in the right people, and will raise next generations better.

I thought I wouldn't need to deal with that anymore, but it seems like I was wrong. Has anyone here ever experienced something similar? I just want to have some peace.

Just wanting to be left alone is my primary goal in life. Too much trauma.

Record them harassing you and show the footage to someone who can do something about it.

Same.
Thanks for the reminder I have fulfilled my quest for a career that gives me the part where I get to be left alone.

I just now went for a walk and saw two kids playing with a ball, it came over to me so I passed it back. It was a weak pass. I barely touched the thing and it meandered slowly back across the grass. They made fun of me. I told them to fuck off. We then had a twenty minute anime battle through different environments, ending in Dead Rising tier weapon combinations and chairs beat across heads. Then I woke up.

Been out of school for over a decade and still get little reminders like this of the shitty time I had, lol.
