this sounds counterproductive, but the more you brush your teeth regularly (no toothpaste needed, that's just for bad breath) the less it will hurt and make you bleed. one thing i do if i cant will myself to brush my teeth is to scrape them on a towel, at least get some plaque out

You dense motherfuckers. BRUSH YOUR DAMN TEETH!

Tooth pain is one of the shortest paths to hell on Earth. And don't just brush them, learn how to do it properly, and learn how to floss correctly. The sooner you start the better.

Yes, your gums will probably bleed the first few times you floss, but that's because they're inflamed from all the plaque, food debris, and bacteria that have built up over time. Healthy gums don't bleed due to flossing, sick ones do. Proper oral hygiene is cheap and easy. Dentists are insanely expensive, and living with a toothache severely affects the two best things in life: sleeping and eating.

Believe me. I know.

BRUSH YOUR DAMN TEETH!

I live brooding over past confrontations and aggressions I didn't have the balls at the time to stand up for. I think about getting revenge all day which is almost impossible since I don't have the physical and mental attributes yet to pull it off.

Games you played that were not as good as the mainstream masses/reviewers would had you believe.
Also games that were recommended by "patricians", that turned out to just be games that cater to their autistic taste.

While I didn't find the gameplay or aesthetic of borderlands bad. The writing is so god damn cringy, it's like a boomer trying to write something he thinks modern teens like. After 2 hour I just couldn't stand it anymore. Gearbox were veterans and they had the backing of 2K a major publisher, this was the best writer they could get?
The deigns of banished isn't bad. It just that it felt like doing homework instead of playing a fun game. Many hours of planning, trail and error. Only an autist could think about spending the weekend for this.

>it’s not a design flaw, it’s a feature to punish you for having lost to a boss

While its clear that the devs didn't want the checkpoint to be in the boss door (they could have just done so) and for the loss to mean something, I think its very questionable how much of this punishment and this design is intentional and not just sheer incompetence of the devs, that fans try to cover up with a excuse (its not a flaw, its a feature!), especially if we look at the DS1, that exploded in popularity and influenced their later titles.

There is a lot of indication that the devs didn't had enough time and resources to properly polish and finish DS1, like a noticeable drop in quality in everything past Anor Londo. We also have things like the Capra demon boss, where it seems like they couldn't be arsed or didn't had time to make proper mechanics, so they stuffed some stunlock dogs in tiny room with the demon (that would be extremely easy otherwise) and called it a day. Later games don't seem to have many things like this.

I didn't play Elden Ring, but from what I have seem in videos, its just open world DS with a new lore, and with checkpoints much closer to the boss rooms. Really curious change.

 No.63612

For me the single most overrated game was legend of zelda Breath of the Wild.

I kept waiting for it to get good and then I realized I had finished the game and I was like holy shit that was bad. The whole world is so damn empty and filled with the same tiny tiny number of enemies and things to do. All the puzzles are brain dead except for a couple which are only hard because they did illogical things not because the puzzle was actually hard.

I also found Red Dead Redeption 2 to be boring and shitty. My issues lay with the plot and the gameplay. The actual story of RDR2 is fucking boring and shitty, despite actually good writing when it comes to stuff like dialogue. This is a rather odd juxtaposition because typically people who can write well can do the whole thing well, but not in this case. Gameplay was just a slower clunkier feeling version of every other shooter out there with some GTA elements. The world was beautiful and exploring was the only fun part of the game, but it was only rewarded with little easter eggs not really any meaningful gameplay reward so it ends up feeling aimless a lot of the time.

I was never really on board with open world games because of what you've described. The few I've played are either mostly empty, and the big world just inflates playtime via extra traversal time, or full of procedurally generated low quality shit that isn't fun to play or can be straight up broken because nobody play tested it.

I know this is a controversial thing to say, but I learnt about the Japanese Imperial Family, and I felt so horrible in my own stomach knowing how the Japanese Emperor can't leave, even if he wants to. And the horrible treatment of his wife for not producing a male heir.

The Japanese Government's perspective regarding the Imperial Family is extremely horrible, they worship the beautiful throne but will not let the individuals who should be on that throne live in dignity to be honest. They are not even citizens and the Japanese Government only seems them as State Property.

At least the Princesses can marry commoners and leave if they want, the Empress can be divorced, but the Emperors and Prices can't even fucking leave, every single one of their moves is monitored, they are forced to perform unnecessary rituals, etc. I honestly, will get massively hated for this but life is significantly better in a trailer park than it is the Imperial Palace.

Honestly, if Japanese really revere their emperor they should force the government to give emperor basic human rights and freedom of movement. Like this really reminds me of when I read about GITMO tbh.

The only silver lining about learning this is that I unironically have more respect for my life in the third world country where I can go where I want, eat what I want, and speak what I want.

What they don't want you to know about the Japanese Imperial Family is ultimately that they are of Korean origin. The Meiji Restoration was a Jewish coup. Also these Northern Court emperors aren't even legitimate not that anyone cares about that.

I've been seeing this stated over and over again where people are saying large swaths of the kids these days are literally illiterate. Do you buy this? Is it really that bad?

If it is, what do you think will be the implications for future life? Are we wizards actually going to be better off simply because we are literate, or will that not even matter anymore because AI will now do all the thinking for society? I feel like people of all generations are becoming even more like cattle just being herded around by the tech companies these days. Are the zoom zooms and alphas their final product? A permanent underclass for the elites to exploit and rape? Really if people can't even read anymore, I shudder to think what might happen.

Kids are growing up not only glued to iPads, but now using LLMs for school work and everything else. Compare it to the millennial and older generations where you had to sit down with a book and figure out how to write about it unaided. At best you could copy someone else's homework. There's no chance the younger generations are getting as much practice reading and writing in their younger years.

I agree. And they had a legitimate concern because memory HAS gotten significantly worse over time. Even within my life time people lost the ability to store 7 digit random numbers, because we just store them inside the phone and carry "our" phone with us rather than use whatever phone is nearby.
Humanity always figures something out. But I get the feeling I will be dead before the disturbance caused by hooking everyone up to a global communication/storage network is sorted.

I am not a full wizard yet, I am still young however even at a younger age of 24 I felt like I have already seen and done everything worth doing. I watched enough anime and movies, played enough vidya of every genre to satisfy someone for a lifetime. I scrolled enough on my phone for 4 people. Eventually I got bored of media consumption so I pursued other things like hobbies. I learned a language, an instrument and beginner coding in game dev and I felt again like it was enough. Learning things became boring, its the same baseline thing every time of encoding brain meat with specific patterns over and over. Skill progression of anything is basically the same. I got bored of those hobbies, I picked up exercise thinking it would give me more energy however after finally getting to the point of jogging a mile I stopped. I'm fine with how I look and I don't care how others see me so its as if there wasn't a motivation, just putting myself under duress without reason aside to live longer doing boring things. I quit. Eventually, I thought it was the NEET life that I became sick of, so I got a job at a gas station as well as a construction company both parttime. I was able to play my part well for a NEET of 7 years. I even got invited to barbecues and other outings and had many conversations with others. I thought that maybe finally I could fill the void but that feeling of boredom started haunting me again. Within months I was done, the jobs were all the same the people saying the same things and everyone doing the same things over and over. When you live with nothing for so long you get used to it, there was nothing I wanted to buy with my money. All of it stacked up in an account that I am now currently living off of as I left both my jobs and my relations with others. Neetdom is much easier to be bored in than a place where you stare at the time all day being bored.

I only feel as if I am wasting my life if I am bored. If I die tomorrow I would only regret the moments I felt boredom. I tried it all, jobs hobbies people exercise. None of it made me feel anything for long, it was as if I was solving a novel puzzle, it occupied my time but once it was "solved" it was just another puzzle for the pile. I don't understand, towards the end of my jobs I even started to try narcotics just to feel something but they were nothing. Mushrooms, meth, alcohol. Nothing. All I do now is learn about medicine and watch surgery videos, I find it fascinating but I know Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

What you are describing is a lack of a sense of purpose and meaning in your life.

Typically people derive this from their community and the role they play within it. Someone who starts a charity defines their purpose by helping others. Someone who starts a business defines their purpose by the things their business accomplishes for people. Other people derive it from creating works of art or new inventions. There are many ways to get purpose and meaning, all of it comes down to what you actually want to accomplish in life.

You sound like you haven't given that any thought at all and are therefore going about life all wrong. You don't seek out challenges just for some sort of character building purposes. You naturally have to overcome challenges in order to get whatever you want out of life. Some people develop a sense of what this is from a very early age. Typically these people end up being the most successful in their field. If you look into top performing athletes and stuff they will always say from a young age they desired to be an athlete in their sport. It's the same for most other stuff.

If you are naturally lacking a strong drive for yourself and your life, you just have to give it some deep thought. No one can tell you what you want out of life, that's for you to figure out.

It's become broadly harder for people to do this thanks to the industrial revolution which wildly changed how people lived their lives. We are still in a transition phase where we have changed the way we live but we still have instincts that are suited for pre-industrial life. Mostly people just had to focus on surviving, and that was the main purpose of peoples lives. For many this is still the case, but only because we have built up artificial mechanisms to mirror the act of surviving while in fact all our basic survival needs are taken care of by the vast excess provided to us by industrialized society. Now we have to pay rent and other bills so we are forced to wageslave, and for most wage slavery becomes the purpose of their life. Getting a higher wage and avoiding getting fired gives them purpose.

This doesn't work for everyone though because it is still an abstraction and if you can see through the lies of society, it just becomes a bitter pill to swallow. Ted Kaczynski talked about this some I think. For him the solutiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I'm in a similar position that I haven't escaped so…
I don't think this will help, but I've reached a conclusion (at 30 now) that it is time to focus on output and limiting, heavily curating input.

A lot of the things you mention are still input oriented. So for example the productive hobby you mention being programing, what did you create with it?
Language, what information did you convey using it and to whom and why?
If the answer is nothing, then you just consumed information for no reason. Might as well have jerked off at that point.

I feel like personally all my bandwidth mentally has been taken up by consumption, because there is just so much stuff out there that even if I no longer get a "high" from it, it's just easier and more comforting to live in fantasy land why scrolling through manga.
Reading stuff on here is also still mostly input with no action taken based on it.

Every day there is so much stuff that gets filtered through my brain that I have absolutely no use for.
I'm trying to limit it heavily and focusing more on action, utilizing knowledge, only learning more about something if I need to and only as much as I need to get to where I want to be.

I'm also now trying to create and share my creations with others instead of just consuming what others have created.

I guess a TLDR would be that it's easy to feed endless input/information into your brain daily while barely if at all processing it into anything useful.
I feel like a lot of more competent wizards that have this weird anhedonia/burnout thing might relate. Then again, this is mostly just my subjective experience, don't want to paint you with my brush or whatever the saying is.

Recently I've become fascinated with tessellation and spent the past couple of weeks collecting pictures of mosaics from around the world. Eventually just looking at them was not enough and I want to go deeper, understand the geometric shapes and its secrets better. Not even sure why but periodic tiling feels like a brain massage to me, like I'm about to fall out of bottom of how I usually perceive the world around me. So I picked up the book Geometry by Cambridge University Press. Feel free to give a hollow laugh: I honestly thought I could just skip the math part of geometry (yes I'm an idiot) and appreciate its resulting surfaces. While you can do that, if you want to appretiate geometry even at a surface level, you need to know the bare minimum of maths. The book suggested a good grasp on the basics of linear algebra and algebraic structure. I thought 'OK, I'll read the wiki entries as a lazy primer' and quickly realized I forgot even the basics of mathematical symbols. I guess it's true after all, if you don't use it you lose it.

Long story short, I'm currently going through Pure Mathematics for Beginners. The good part of being dumb is when you learn a single thing it feels like a whole new world just opened up and it feels really good.

So yeah, maths thread.

I've been self-educating via Kahn Academy and a little bit of Google Gemini for a year now, I've made it all the way from 5th grade to highschool Geometry so far.

Alledgedly, Deepseek is the best for raw math ability, and it's got extended thinking on the free version, but I find Google Gemini is best for it's vast character-limit and ability to read PDFs and images I send well.

They're both good for conceptual explanations as you mentioned, but be very careful to not trust them to organize a full curriculum for you, as they'll leave out tons of critical lessons while telling you in full confidence they have covered absolutely everything with you. I actually just lost a week to that when I finally gave them a shot at that due to the vast drilling and bloat in Kahn Academy's Geometry class. So far I have found nothing wrong with their explanations, but this hasn't been falsified much.

Why don't you have a tulpa, anon?
You can cheat yourself out of loneliness by fostering a loving relationship with an imaginary friend.

Benefits of a tulpa,
>You can choose any shape or form for her.
>You will never feel alone.
>She will always show unconditional love.
>She will always follow you around.
>You can have sex without losing your virginity powers or contracting STDs.
>Costs absolutely nothing.
>Basically the 'ultimate' form of a waifu.
The only negative is the social stigma, which you can easily avoid by not revealing your powerlevel.

It was the best decision of my life. It feels so good to have someone take care of you, compliment you and physically comfort you.

I don't get you.. can you explain better? what does "maladaptive" mean?

 No.229283

>>229271
i mostly mean in context of:
>Maladaptive daydreaming is a psychological condition characterized by extensive, vivid, and compulsive daydreaming that replaces human interaction and interferes with academic, vocational, or social functioning.

the 'maladaptive' part comes from it interfering with those major pillars of life.

But i'm trying to construct a tulpa that is actually uplifting and motivating and supportive. And those areas of my life are already damaged so idk how 'maladaptive' it can be at this point.

>how long have you been doing it?
So far it's only been a week, still very much "forcing" it.
And the way it started working is subtle and mostly internal.
So far, the thing that is 'working' is only that i am consciously talking to HER instead of my INNER CRITIC more often throughout the day.

So having a dialogue with a nice inner voice is infinitely more encouraging than my normal unconscious mind, which only talks with my INNER CRITIC. When my auto-pilot mind runs and only talks to the INNER CRITIC, he makes me feel ashamed and incapable and more often to give up and just stay depressed.

Hey wizards,

Two other wizzas and I will be reading The Pastel City, a science fantasy novel by M. John Harrison, originally published in 1971.

We'll be following a schedule of one chapter per day. The chapters are about 10 pages long on average. After each day's reading, we'll come here and talk about it. I'll be posting a short daily commentary to help kick off the discussion, along with updates on our progress through the schedule. Of course, you're under no obligation to post anything if you don't want to.

We'll start on Thursday, July 2, so in just a couple of days. Check out the blurb for the novel:

A decaying world. Ancient powers long forgotten. An old warrior with one last battle to fight. The Pastel City is a mesmerizing journey through the ruins of a far-future civilization, where the remnants of lost knowledge mingle with myth and legend. Atmospheric, inventive, and unforgettable, it is a classic of science fantasy.

I'll be following along with this edition, which can be borrowed for free from Archive.org:

https://archive.org/details/pastelcity0000unse

You can choose a different edition if you prefer:

https://archive.org/search?tab=all&query=the+pastel+city&and%5B%5D=mediatype%3A%22texts%22

To borrow a book from the Archive, you'll need an account. They only ask for an email address and password.

Come and join us for some whimsy literary fun.

>I'm also curious to know how many of you actually finished it.
I did finish it but I fell behind a little towards the end. I'm surprised I did this well actually, I assumed I wouldn't be able to get past the first few chapters given how bad my attention span is.

It was a pretty decent novel, but I don't think I'm really interested in reading the sequels. Although it would be nice to know what happens I guess, it does feel like the end of this novel is a set up for a continuation. But I'm not burning with curiosity or anything. Especially if there will be a different protagonist. I really liked Cromis, so without him I don't think it would be nearly as interesting.

Most of the way thru ch.2 and, I'm getting a good impression so far.

It's set ~80 years after the events of Pastel City which means most of that book's main cast are long dead, except Tomb and the Young Queen Methvet Nian who's now the Old As Fuck Queen.

One interesting thing that's changed about the setting itself is this religion/cult/philosophy called The Sign of the Locust taking over the City, which seems at least a little wizardly?

Not the most amazing fantasy novel out there, but it's short and it doesn't overstay its welcome. This is a rare gift nowadays.

This is a thread to discuss God and religion. One I didn't see created.

What are your thoughts and views on God, if any?

My relationship with Him is complicated, as I used to be Christian but have far strayed and no longer worship Him to a certain extent.

Most christians don't even read it and the ones who do don't even know that only the NT is the one that they have to follow and not the OT, since they're not paying attention. A lot of christian movements nowadays are NOT opposed to divorce, homosexual or premarital relationships, being rich or hurting kids in any given way even if these are the very few explicit rules that christians are supposed to actually follow. I wish mudslimes and jews behaved in the same way with their shit antisocial religions, it would save the entire world a lot of trouble.

Last thing I did before I started hearing this voice is coming to the following conclusion:
What is Jesus (God) actually doing?
He is explaining what you have to do if you wish to receive divine love.

And also, how great for the pressured Christians… They would relocate to the autonomous land of Punt, harness their strengths, develop it to be years ahead of anything in the mainland, in consequence thus rebound from a trivial party to becoming the majority power over Egypt given enough time.
Failing to include the territory of Punt into Egypt, moreover failing to make it a self-governing territory, plus failing to make Saba independent from Yemen, then transitioned to a more secular state, means you can't obtain the true maximum fulfillment of this mission of 'Making Egypt Christian'.

 No.324957

>>324955
For Islam, the Shia-Sunni split will transition to a 'progressive' and 'conservative' split analogous to the Republican/Democrat fiasco. Only 2 nations in the world will remain Islamic: A. Eran/Persia (meaning also the autonomous territory Sapta Kashmir) which'll bear the progressive, open and inquisitive banner, with a new capital around Uzbekistan, B. Arabia, bearing the conservative banner, centered around the genesis point of Mecca.
Egypt, Khartage, Akkadia, Yemen, Saba, Sudan, Nagalaysia, Europe Minor (Turkey west of Yozgat), the Balkans.. the rest of the world.. only secularism remains, or else Christianity, Judaism, and in the case of the Americas, Judeo-Christianity. But Russia is an exception, because right after annexing Mongolia, Belarus, Ukraine up to Odessa and Georgia too, it goes for Kazakhstan, whose southern most point of Turkestan sits right next to a vital point of Eran. Thus the Islamic influence is inescapable, making Russia an Islamic-Christian state, but that's a nice reflection to America, which is Judeo-Christian. Everywhere else, once Eran and Arabia stop sending over proselytizers and funding construction of mosques, it all vanishes.

And that's for the best, because why should a European be muslim? Look at the balkans. They're only muslim because of a brutal enigma. Why should Africans be muslim? Why Indonesia and Malaysia despite all those Indian temples and such? Why Xinjiang? It's artificially drummed in these places and an aberration, and this artificiality and aberrations will all disappear in the new world. It already has in Xinjiang, so it shall everywhere else. Absolutist monotheism makes sense only in Eran and Arabia, but not so elsewhere in the world, where it just leads to retardation. It can't even work with Israel and the Jews, seeing as how they perceive themselves as peers and equals with God.

I think the fragility of storage media is highly overstated. I have cheap USB flash drives that are 15+ years old that still work perfectly fine. I have a Nintendo DS and a PSP that I bought back in the day, that still have uncorrupted save files and images/videos I put on the SD card.
A while ago I transferred over some photos from an old ass digicam just fine. I have harddrives that are 15 years old that still work. I have burned CD's and DVD's that are 20 years old that still read.
I don't use these things regularly and they're all essentially stored away, no doubt that has something to do with their longevity, but the point is that I managed to access the data when I needed to.
I'm not saying all of this will last forever (and I've transferred over the important stuff to newer harddrives) but there's this idea among certain people that anything except a gold-plated M-disc will die on you within 5 years which is a bit dramatic.

It's not about "work", its about not getting a sensitive file damaged because a single bit got damaged with a cosmic ray + the CRC sums not matching, as a result = having the whole file deemed as "damaged" (very important for data with high levels of compression, such as .rar or .mp4 files)

- There's not that much trash. A lot of what you see on the ground are birds and sprouting dandelions

- The buildings are diverse, with modern compact office space responsibility integrated among historical townhouses

- The black clad people are most likely schoolchildren of a Catholic school with a dark uniform, and those wearing parkas to keep the rain off.

This seems to be a well-traveled public leisure space with transit access and a nice cafe. A spring shower is waking up the antique trees which will provide lovely shade.

What do you guys think of Prison Planet Theory ?

Some people are so fed up with suffering on earth, so they came up with this theory to cope with reality
personally I think it kind of overlaps with the wizards philosophy

there is even a subreddit dedicated to it

and people seriously thinks they are prisoner in this planet
and thats their energy is being harvested by aliens

The worst thing is that humanity doesn't recognize his status of prisoner but truly believes that consuming all resources of the planet is something we must do in order to "progress" towards general well-being.
